Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 82: Eighty-one, Black Market

It is called a black market, but it is really just a more secluded street.

At the entrance of the street, two burly men with fierce expressions were cautiously looking around. When they saw Luo Shu and Fu Yi approaching, they exchanged a glance.

"Stop!" one of them shouted.

"Big brothers, we want to go in and sell some things," Luo Shu said as she took a handkerchief from her pocket and unfolded it, revealing the wild ginseng she had dug up in the Yunxiang Mountain Range.

The two men glanced at the wild ginseng in Luo Shu’s hands. Even though they did not know much about herbs, they could tell that the wild ginseng was a fine item. There were many stalls selling herbs in the black market, but rarely anything of top quality.

"Who is he?" the one who had spoken earlier asked, looking at Fu Yi.

"He’s my big brother. He was worried about me so he came with me," Luo Shu turned to look at Fu Yi and winked at him with a smile.

Fu Yi frowned slightly. This girl was really bold, not showing any sign of fear at all.

The two burly men searched Luo Shu and Fu Yi thoroughly before letting them enter the black market.

Entering the black market, they saw that the street was long, but the stalls were sparse and not very numerous. However, there were quite a few people browsing, making it quite lively.

In the shadows, there were a few more burly men, vigilantly watching everyone’s every move.

Luo Shu diverted her gaze and handed the ginseng, along with the handkerchief, over to Fu Yi. "You go register at the office, I’m going to look around and will be back soon." To sell things in the black market, registration was required. After selling their goods, they would also need to pay a fee to the black market’s manager for the stall.

Fu Yi instinctively wanted to object, but remembering their earlier decision, he nodded. Only by experiencing the dangers of the black market firsthand would she refrain from stepping into this place again. Of course, he would not let her be in danger either.

Based on her experience from her previous life, Luo Shu walked toward the innermost part of the street. Usually, the good stuff was hidden deeper in.

After walking for five or six minutes, Luo Shu stopped in front of a stall selling daggers, briefly scanning the items, then asked the stall owner, who wore a hat with a very low brim, "Do you have guns for sale?"

The stall owner blinked, taken aback, and then nodded, "Yes, but they’re not cheap." He had been setting up his stall here for a long time, and it was rare to encounter someone wanting to buy a gun, let alone a young girl.

"How much?" Luo Shu continued to ask.

After sizing up Luo Shu carefully, the stall owner said, "Five hundred!"

Luo Shu pondered for a moment and then nodded. "The price is fine, but I need to see the merchandise first." In this era, five hundred was not a small sum. However, the rule in the black market was that one could walk away without buying, but one could not bargain.

The stall owner hesitated a bit, then after some thought, he crouched down and dug out a black pistol from a basket underneath the stall, handing it to Luo Shu with a warning, "Be careful, it’s loaded."

Luo Shu smiled and nodded, taking the pistol to inspect it. It was just an ordinary pistol with nothing special about it. But in this time period, simply being able to buy one was already quite good. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"I’ll take it!" Luo Shu declared. She was now somewhat regretful that she hadn’t bought some firearms to store in her space while studying in the Northern Federation.

Upon hearing this, disbelief flashed in the stall owner’s eyes. "Are you sure you want to buy it?" Although most people who entered the black market were wealthy, five hundred was not an amount just anyone could afford.

Luo Shu smiled and nodded, taking out a small piece of gold from her pocket and handing it to the stall owner. "I don’t carry cash on me, will this do?" In the current times, there were no one hundred or fifty yuan notes; five hundred yuan would require fifty ten-yuan bills, and she did not bring a bag with her. Taking it straight out of her pocket would be too conspicuous.

"Yes!" The stall owner took the gold, weighed it in his hand, bit it, and nodded. Gold was a universal currency in the black market, and there were places there that would exchange gold for cash, although at a lower rate.

Luo Shu placed the pistol in her pocket and turned to walk in the direction of Fu Yi.

Fu Yi followed Luo Shu from a not-too-distant range; as long as he could ensure her safety, that was enough. Seeing Luo Shu walking toward him, he casually turned his head away.

Seeing Fu Yi, Luo Shu smiled and walked up to him. "Let’s go to the registration office." There was no need to guess; she knew that Fu Yi must have been following her all along.
