Leonard Churchill was not surprised at all by hearing this.
In his previous life, these wealthy tycoons with vast amounts of capital would enter the new market, throw around billions of dollars, and take over the market, eliminating all competitors. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Then they would monopolize the industry.
The tycoons are all well-versed in this strategy.
Observing this move, Leonard knew that a massive restructuring was coming for these “small businesses” in the Sinless City.
Can a small shop compete with a large supermarket?
Where there is demand, they supply. Where others have, they excel. Where others excel, they provide at a lower cost.
The biggest difference between the Black Market and the conventional market was that the bosses of the Black Market dared to buy and sell things that others driven by fear would not.
After all, it built trust. For some aggressive bandits and looters who kill for a living, the Black Market is their stable channel of goods sales.
The reason for Leonard’s visit this time was to see if he could sell off some of the hot possessions he brought along.
This kind of business, which shuns the light, is destined to remain small and unofficial.
However,
This shop named “Great Ivan’s Treasure Shop” breaks that assumption.
Because it placed an ancient artifact at its front door.
It was a mechanical Wealth-attracting Golden Cat, seemingly made of brass.
Upon seeing it, Leonard realized it was actually an ancient artifact.
[Wealth-attracting Golden Cat]
Specification: Level II ancient artifact; provide reference samples and it can appraise the value of items. The more reference samples provided, the more accurate the appraisal. Feeding it precious metals is required for its operation.
The safest channel for selling his goods that he could think of before was the “Silver Star Mysteries Shop,” introduced by Seven Brown.
But even after having done trading there once, the risk was still quite high. After all, anyone who takes out so many spoils of the frost knights at this moment, even a fool could guess they must be from the Great Graveyard. Space 407 had already brought enough trouble, dragging the murder case of the grand governor of the Great Graveyard into it, Leonard reckoned he would be the number one person of interest in Sinless City.
A total black-box trade carries less risk than finding any person.
Besides, this “Great Ivan’s Treasure Shop” had just arrived recently and just opened up the business in the Black Market, and definitely wouldn’t risk their reputation for anything dubious.
Seeing this, Leonard followed the crowd and went there.
He wanted to go inside the shop and see exactly what was being sold.
People kept coming to sell their things to the mechanical cat.
Leonard didn’t give it much thought and went into the shop.
As soon as he stepped in, the goods displayed in the storage cabinet opened his eyes to another level.

Leonard looked over, the display window showed a variety of sample goods, including machinery, cards, equipment, potions... basically, anything that hunters would need.
This Mechanical Equipment were all from the industrial factories known to the Federation, not just some small workshops.
The cards, potions, and so on, all had the authenticity seals of major factories attached.
Every item was considered top of the line.
And the prices were also quite appealing.
There wasn’t a single item in the display window that was priced less than a million.
Usually for any small shop, an item worth a million would already be considered as the shop’s proud treasure. How about this piece of Excellent Equipment worth 180 million?
Having been in Sinless City since his arrival to this world, Leonard had never seen such a luxurious scene before.
Are the wealthy tycoons in the Upper City of this world so powerful? Moreover, seeing that [Skill Wave Punch] card, he was also quite surprised: “And also, does this shop even sell Technique cultivable cards?”
