Chapter 78: Infinite Market of Dreams

Chapter 78: Infinite Market of Dreams

Not only did Black Hat have the 5th Movement, but he also got the 12th Movement without anyone knowing. It was truly shocking to the players to have someone use two movements at the same time.

Jin Cheng still couldnt figure out Black Hats intention, but the matter had reached this point and directly banging into Black Hats store was definitely not wise, so he quickly made a decision Lets first go to the Ruby Bar to find K.

Ruby Bar was a franchise like Black Hats Miscellaneous Store. Naturally, there was one in Zone E.

The waiter recognised Jin Chengs face and respectfully greeted him, but when Jin Cheng asked about K, he shook his head and said: Sorry sir, my boss isnt in Zone E right now.

Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows: Are you sure of he isnt here?

Hes really not here.

Okay.

As the word okay fell, before the waiter could even breathe a sigh of relief, a truly threatening force fell directly on his head: Go tell your boss, Ill wait for fifteen minutes.

After that, Jin Cheng took Tang Cuo into the nearest room.

Then he closed the door and sat down.

Tang Cuo said bluntly: K is obviously avoiding you.

Jin Cheng: Its normal, hes much closer to Black Hat than me. But this doesnt mean that Black Hat and he are on the same side. Maybe he knows about the Twelfth Movement, but he doesnt necessarily know what Black Hat wants to do with it.

Black Dragon Scale, The Pale Heart, Drakes Gem and Spark of Forgiveness. What use are these four items?Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

I dont know.

You dont know?

Ive been in Yong Ye City for only three years.

Jin Cheng shrugged: The only thing that is certain is that these four items must be extremely important and have uses that we dont know. And looking at the names, they seem to come from a Western Fantasy dungeon.

Tang Cuo immediately thought of [Kingdom Hidden In The Moonlight]. In fact, the thing that worried him the most was the timing of Black Hat using these movements. It had been a while that Black Hat had the 5th Movement in his hands, so why did he choose today?

A few days ago, K learnt of the news that Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng triggered a hidden dungeon, then K brought them the news about Lin Yandong.

K had a relationship with Black Hat, and Black Hat happened to mention four items that seemed to come from a Western Fantasy dungeon. Could there be any connection between these?

Jin Cheng also had this speculation, but there was no concrete evidence so it was useless to say more. In addition, these items like Black Dragons Scale were produced by a dungeon, so if Black Hat was willing to exchange his 5th Movement for these, they must be extremely rare and could be set aside for the time being.

However, the more problematic issue now was how Black Hat used the 12th Movement to advertise that thing.

The [Twelve Movements] cant just be simply used for advertising. This Infinite Market of Dreams is likely based on a certain item trading system in Yong Ye City. Jin Cheng said.

Why did Black Hat open a miscellaneous store? Tang Cuo suddenly asked.

It started about seven years ago. He didnt take the civil service exam when he first came to Yong Ye City. He changed his game class after he levelled up to Zone A.

He knows Lin Yandong.

Thats right. Jin Cheng snapped his fingers: Regardless of whether its a normal player or a civil-servant player, they must be closer to the truth than any of us. Compared to Lin Yandong, Black Hat and K, we still know too little. Then theres that reclusive fortune teller in Zone B, a very strange woman.

A fortune teller?

Shes also a civil-servant player, and her ability is prophecy. She opens a fortune telling shop, but it only takes in customers every three months and entertains three people at a time. I went there once. She told me that in April this year, my life would have a major turning point.

April? Wasnt it the day when Tang Cuo came to Yong Ye City? It was also the beginning of everything.

Tang Cuo couldnt help but think of those unfinished words in the movie theater again, but he knew now wasnt the time to talk about it. At this moment, someone knocked on the room door.

Yo. K walked in, clad in his standard flashy purple suit. He glanced left and right and subconsciously wanted to sit next to Tang Cuo, because he didnt want to sit with Jin Cheng.

But when he was about to sit down, Jin Chengs long legs stretched out and blocked his way. He stood up and firmly sat down beside Tang Cuo, then he gestured to K to sit opposite them with a cold expression.

Does it bother you so much? K was lost for words.

After leaving the bar, Jin Chengs face was dark. The smile on his lips was a little bit cold but his eyes were terribly cold, as though anyone who looked into those eyes could die at once. Tang Cuo rarely saw him like this and asked: Is it bad?

Jin Cheng: Very bad.

Tang Cuo: ?

Jin Cheng: He delays my major life event, hell be struck by lightning.

That Black Hat bastard should be pierced by a thousand knives. Of all the timings to pick, he had to cause trouble right when Jin Cheng was about to confess. He deserved to be kicked by his lover and stayed single for a lifetime.

Tang Cuo had no way to refute this.

On the street and in front of everyone, Jin Cheng blocked him: Dont you have anything to say?

Tang Cuo: ?

Jin Cheng: For example, Im in a very bad mood, coax me.

Tang Cuo looked around. There were even fewer people on the street now; many of them were walking in a hurry and some were even squatting down by the roadside clutching their heads, looking all painful and helpless. He said: Other players seemed to be in a worse mood than you.

But only when Im in a good mood can I think of a better way to solve the problem, right? Jin Cheng also saw what was happening around him, but he had never fallen into the same despair as ordinary players.

Tang Cuo felt that this logic was really flawless, but he was incapable of coaxing Jin Cheng, so he ruthlessly walked past and said: Wen Xiaoming should be looking for you.

Wen Xiaoming indeed had reached Zone E. He rushed over immediately after hearing the system announcement and brought news about Black Hat with him.

Just now, Miao Qi came to find me and said that they were investigating Black Hat. He also said that we shouldnt make any move. Lin Yandong would come to see him in person soon.

This was unexpected. Jin Cheng didnt expect that Black Hat could lure Lin Yandong out from his usual behind-the-scenes position. The two must have known each other before. Perhaps Lin Yang knew Black Hats purpose for wanting those four items.

Jin Cheng stroked his chin and asked: How long havent you entered a dungeon?

Wen Xiaoming: Three days.

Jin Cheng: Dont rush, use your remaining time outside first. In the next few days, go find Chi Yan, An Ning and her teammates, ask them to spy on Black Hats Miscellaneous Store. Remember, I only need them to keep their eyes on the place and record Black Hats whereabouts. They dont need to care about anything else. As for their reimbursement, you take care of it.

Okay. Wen Xiaoming replied neatly, then he asked: Do you want to spy on the stores in all zones?

Jin Cheng: Look at those in Zone A and Zone E. Let Lily take care of the one in Zone A.

After getting the order, Wen Xiaoming enthusiastically took his leave. Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo went straight to the central area and once again came to the not-so-authentic izakaya.

The izakayas business was still as bad as before. There were no customers when the two opened the curtain and walked in. The lady boss was smoking by the pond, her delicate lipstick stuck to the cigarette and her figure still as hot.

She lowered her gaze and didnt seem to be in a good mood. As she caught a glimpse of the guests coming in, she didnt say hello. When Jin Cheng came closer and knocked on the table with a smile, she looked over.

Hes not here. Her three words were simple and concise.

Who is he? Jin Cheng asked with a smile.

You already know, why are you asking? The lady boss glanced at him, flicked away the ash and said: I have nothing to do with the [Twelve Movements]. Youd better not bother me, otherwise, even if you two are handsome, this old lady will still kick you out.

Jin Cheng shrugged and cast an innocent look at Tang Cuo.

Tang Cuo said: Were not asking you about this. We just want to ask jiejie about one person Lin Yandong.

The lady boss breathed out a puff of smoke and raised her fine eyebrows in surprise.

Tang Cuo put on a faint smile: Jiejie, you know Lin Yandong, right? Lin Yandong said he couldnt leave Zone A and made a deal with us. We want to know what happened between him and Yong Ye City. Were afraid that he would trick us.

Handsome xiao ge, youre really interesting. As the lady boss said this, she wanted to reach out to touch Tang Cuos face. His smile was charming and his smiling eyes were even more captivating.

But the moment her hand was half-way there, Jin Cheng blocked her: Madam, why are you so nice to this one yet ignores me? Youve praised me so many times before, but youve never reached out your hand.

Yeah right. The lady boss patted Jin Chengs hand: You? You might as well become a monk.

It wasnt like the lady boss hadnt teased him before; it was just that this heartless, dead straight man couldnt be moved at all. Thinking of this made her so angry, so she felt even more pleased when her eyes landed on Tang Cuo. Look at this righteous, handsome face.

But Jin Chengs intention to protect his little bastard was too obvious. However, the lady boss wasnt bothered and just kept her eyes on Tang Cuo, her lips tugging into a graceful smile: I like it that you call me jiejie. A child who knows how to sweet-talk always receives his candies.
