Chapter 312 Human Females Fleeing in the Beast World 40
Shen Chumo's eye twitched. To be honest, this little beastman was really fearless.
Sure enough, the next second, the stall owner sneered, and the short orc was dragged away by several thugs. His shrill cries gradually faded away in the noisy environment of the dark market.
"Now no one is bothering us to talk business." The stall owner turned around, his face once again plastered with that fake smile, but his eyes darted back and forth over Shen Chumo.
"Brother, let's not mince words. How about a flat price of two thousand gold coins?"
Shen Chumo rubbed her chin and quoted a price directly, "One thousand gold coins, or forget it."
The stall owner calculated in her mind that she had picked up the bead without any cost, and the box cost about one hundred gold coins, so she could make a net profit of nine hundred gold coins, which was not impossible.
"How about 1,800?"
Shen Chumo snorted coldly, "It seems I have no fate with this bead."
Seeing that Shen Chumo was really about to leave, the stall owner hurriedly said, "A thousand gold coins is fine, consider it as me making you my friend!"
After completing the transaction with the stall owner, Shen Chumo took the box, confirmed it was correct, and put it directly into her system inventory.
Real-world items can be transferred into the virtual world through a special scanning method, allowing them to be used in the virtual world.
An item can only be scanned once.
After Shen Chumo bought the bead, the bead vendor in the real world would place it at the address Shen Chumo provided.
Those who can do business in the dark market have all signed agreements, so there's no need to worry about them deliberately withholding or not sending the goods.
Shen Chumo continued browsing the dark market. After a while, she finally found her target—the Singing Bird Exchange.
The Birdsong Exchange is a place that specializes in selling information. It is quite famous in the dark market. It is said that as long as you can afford the price, you can find out even the most confidential information here.
The exchange's exterior is unremarkable, with a rustic wooden door and a wooden plaque above it carved with a flying bird pattern, faintly visible in the dim light.
Shen Chumo stepped forward and gently pushed open the wooden door. The interior was dimly lit and filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.
A few tables and chairs were set up in the lobby, and a few customers were sitting sparsely, talking quietly with the exchange staff.
Shen Chumo walked straight to the front desk. A person dressed in a black robe and wearing a hood looked up, revealing a pair of deep and sharp eyes, and sized her up: "Hello, how can I help you?"
"I want to buy some information."
The man in black knocked on the table, and another man dressed in black robes walked out from the side and led Shen Chumo into a room.
After Shen Chumo sat down, the man in black robes nodded slightly and gestured for her to speak.
"Our Mingniao Exchange has a wide variety of information, from everyday gossip to secrets from various factions, all of which we can provide to our customers."
What kind of information are you looking for? But let me make it clear first, information has a price; the more confidential the information, the higher the price.
Shen Chumo remained calm, but her gaze was sharp as she slowly said, "I want to know the current combat strength of all the families in the Beast Domain, the more detailed the better, including the number of high-level experts they possess, their preferred fighting styles, special combat resources, and so on."
Furthermore, I also need detailed information about the current royal family of the Beast Realm, including the bloodline, special abilities, and actual influence within the Beast Realm of past monarchs and current members.
Upon hearing this, the man in black narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
He paused for a moment, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, making a crisp sound, as if he were weighing the difficulty and benefits of the deal.
"Sir, to be frank, I'm afraid no one can give you completely accurate and detailed information about what you're looking for."
The Beast Realm is home to numerous clans with deeply entrenched power, each clan fiercely guarding information about its own combat strength.
The royal family is even more mysterious and unpredictable, with much information buried deep in the mists of history.
In other words, even if we could give you this information, you still definitely couldn't afford it.
The man in black robes spoke calmly and truthfully.
Shen Chumo had anticipated that the other party would say such a thing; she had only said these things to test their strength.
Shen Chumo raised an eyebrow. "How do you know I can't afford it?"
The man in black didn't answer her, but simply said, "Sir, please state your purchase details again. If you intend to cause trouble, I will have you escorted out."
The man in black robes had a calm yet scrutinizing gaze, looking at Shen Chumo as if she were an unreasonable child.
Shen Chumo coughed lightly, his slightly teasing expression disappearing.
"Alright, I need a list of all the families in the Beast Realm, including the businesses they run and their family members."
"In addition, I would like to know if there are any conflicts between the An family, the Lin family, the He family, and the Pei family."
The man in black robes nodded slightly. "Alright, 500,000 gold coins."
After considering it for a moment, Shen Chumo nodded in agreement.
“Okay.” Unlike the stalls outside, the prices at the Birdsong Exchange are fixed and bargaining is not allowed.
Fortunately, when Shen Chumo came, she had sold a lot of gold bars from the space, and she could afford to pay 500,000.
Shen Chumo took out a crystal card from the space bag at her waist, handed it to the man in black robes, and said calmly, "There are 500,000 gold coins in here. Please check it."
The man in the black robe took the crystal card and swiped it lightly on the testing device next to him. The account balance was immediately displayed on the screen, and after confirming that the amount was correct, he proceeded to collect it.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he carefully put away the crystal card and said, "Sir, you are indeed straightforward. It has been a pleasure working with you. Please wait a moment."
The man in black robes got up and went out. About half an hour later, he returned to the room, holding a black leather scroll in his hand.
He gently placed the scroll on the table, looked at Shen Chumo, and said, "Sir, this is what you need. Please inspect it."
Shen Chumo's gaze fell on the black leather scroll. The surface of the scroll was smooth and exuded an ancient aura.
Shen Chumo reached out to take it, and as soon as she touched the scroll, a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy came from her fingertips, which made her heart skip a beat.
It seems this scroll is no ordinary object; it must be some kind of device designed to protect the information within.
She slowly unfurled the scroll, revealing a dense mass of tiny characters, the information recorded in a peculiar rune arrangement.
Shen Chumo focused her attention and examined the document closely. Sure enough, it contained a detailed list of the various families within the Beast Domain. The businesses operated by each family, from commercial shops to resource mines, were all clearly listed. Family members were also recorded in order of kinship and status, and even some little-known collateral descendants were included.
