Chapter 1230: The Black Gold Market Barriman
A week passed quickly, and the Dream entered a black market area after some transformation and camouflage.
This area is known as the Black Gold Market, and it is the most recent large-scale black market found by Sea Emperor. This market encompasses six star fields and has more than 300 black market trading planets.
The owner of the marketplace is called Barriman, and he is a one-star lord. He was also a former interstellar pirate with a lot of financial acumen, but later used some means to clear his hands and became a businessman.
His black market business has also grown bigger and bigger over the years, from one planet to more than 300 planets, and he has business dealings with many holy places.
Neptune chose the black gold market because it has a lot of things.
When the disguised silver-gray spaceship docked at the planet of the Black Gold Market Headquarters, Guding and his party who had been disguised also stepped off the spaceship one after another.
Except for Aquaman and Robert, everyone else uses a simulated mask made by Aquaman.
Robert went from a beauty to a man, and the Sea Emperor changed from a child to a strong man.
In this procurement, the Gooding pirate group was divided into three groups.
The first group is Gooding, Sea Emperor, and Fate, who are responsible for procuring various biochemical materials for making artificial creatures.
The second group is Robert, Liliat, Elsa, and Becca, who are responsible for procuring mechanical materials for the production of battle factories and various new types of combat weapons and armor, as well as a variety of different energy crystal nuclei.
The third group is Big, Michael, Docot and Huck, who are responsible for sourcing ingredients and other miscellaneous items.
Each group has a person who clearly knows the purchase list and can judge the quality of the purchased goods, and at the same time there is a bargaining master, and there is also a combat force who acts as a bodyguard. Although there are people with overlapping functions, at least all situations are taken into account.
The first day of shopping went well, with the widest variety of items on the HQ planet, with almost all the mainstream items available.
Gooding and his entourage procured more than 80 percent of what they wanted. And because of the existence of Liliat and Fate, two bargaining masters, the price of things everyone gets is very low.
As for Bigg's group, because the ingredients only need to be prepared for a month's worth at most, and Bigg knows the prices of various ingredients. There is also Docott's character of being familiar with outsiders, and the price they get has not been cheated.
The next day, Gooding and his party ran sixteen planets and completed the second purchase.
On the third day, Guding and the others ran twenty-two more planets to complete the third purchase.
At this point, the vast majority of items have been purchased, and only a few relatively rare items have not been found.
Gooding and his party returned to the spaceship, and the Sea Emperor checked the list and gathered everyone together.
"I have checked the procurement list, and among the materials that are urgently needed, there are five kinds that have not been purchased, and there are three kinds of non-urgent items that have not been purchased. Among the urgently needed materials, there are two rare items, a plant extract called the Light of Life, and a natural enhancer called Dragon Scale Root. The problem now is that these two things are hard to find, because pharmacists rarely use them. ”
"I've heard that Barriman has purchased a lot of dragon scales before, but I don't know if he still has them in stock. There's also the problem that Barriman doesn't trade with newcomers. Only old buyers who have made hundreds of purchases in the black gold market will he be willing to meet. The Sea Emperor was more distressed about this.
"What are his hobbies? What are the weaknesses? Mi Ke hurriedly asked.
"Hobbies, this guy lives a very luxurious life, and he is a local tyrant who spends a lot of money. He likes women the most, and in his mansion, three or five women go in every night, and then leave the next morning with a pack of Void God Crystals. ”
Hearing this, Liliat and Elsa had disdainful expressions on their faces.
The Sea Emperor didn't comment on this, but continued, "As for the weakness, he is very poor at drinking, but he likes to drink very much, so he often gets drunk, and every time he gets drunk, he bragged to others about his previous experience as an interstellar pirate. Say how many interstellar pirates he knows, how many holy land powerhouses he has killed, and how many secret realms he has broken through......"
"So, this guy still yearns for the life of an interstellar pirate in his bones......" Miko smiled after hearing this, and he asked everyone, "Who is the hottest interstellar pirate group in the entire main plane now?" ”
And Guding's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"It's us! As long as we visit as ourselves, this guy will definitely not turn us away! ”
"That's right, with our status, there's a good chance he'll be willing to sell us the dragon scales." Michael nodded.
"However, it is too risky to reveal our identities now!" Liliat still didn't feel safe. "Don't forget, he has business dealings with many holy places, and if he wants to betray us, he only needs to dial a random communication number."
"If it's just a private visit, no other outsiders will know about our presence. Barriman owns a black market, and there's no way he's going to do anything to smash his own sign and reveal our whereabouts. Revealing customer information is the biggest taboo in their business. The Sea Emperor also nodded.
"And, as a former interstellar pirate, he has a special affection for the profession of interstellar pirate. Personally, he wouldn't betray us, and he didn't lack that bounty at all. Michael added.
"It's decided!" Gooding was quick to decide. "Sea Emperor, write him a letter of visit in the name of the Guding Pirates, saying that we would like to visit him and buy something in his market by the way. Don't tell him the time of the visit just yet, and see how he responds. ”
Sea Emperor quickly finished writing a letter of visit and sent it to Barriman's private number.
……
The Black Gold Market Headquarters Star Field, an asteroid full of defense ships, sits a golden palace.
In one of the palace's bedrooms, a stout, bearded man was lying drunkenly on the edge of a steaming bath, half a bottle of red wine in his right hand. In his sleep, he was still muttering something in his mouth.
Suddenly, a dinging sound came from the watch in his left hand, and he jerked him out of his sleep.
A little angrily turned his head to look at his watch, "Damn it, you're bothering me again while I'm taking a nap, better not let me know who you are?!" ”
He snarled the letter out, and when he saw its contents, Barriman blinked twice, then pinched the bottle and rubbed his eyes a few times with the back of his hand before looking at the letter again.
It took him a long time to make sure he was right, but he quickly showed a suspicious expression and replied in the letter, "How can I be sure that you are really the Guding Pirates?" ”
As soon as the letter was replied to, it didn't take long for a video request to be sent.
Barriman hurriedly clicked on it, and he immediately saw that Gooding and several members of the team were projected.
And Guding, they were a little speechless when they saw each other's projections.
"Uh, Mr. Barriman, can you get dressed first?" (To be continued.) )
