Chapter 3786 Black Market
Of course, using only the time-to-money ratio of side quests to reverse-calculate the funds needed for main quests is actually flawed.
After all, the side quest has a clear goal of "accumulating one million".
The main task did not explicitly ask them to save money, but they inferred that it might be saving money.
If there is a way to complete the second round of main quests without saving money, then the concept of "time-to-money ratio" does not apply.
The funds required for the main mission may be far more than one million, or far less than one million.
However, Ingres decided not to consider these for the time being.
Isn't it because of lack of money that Yusup changed the Prada beauty show? Even if there are other ways to complete the second round of the main task, Angel is sure that money can definitely open Yusup's mouth.
If Yusup doesn't give in, it means that the money spent is not enough!
So, regardless of how much money is needed in the end, let’s just get one million for now!
Thinking of this, Angel no longer considered the correct way to complete the main task, but instead concentrated on thinking about how to quickly earn a large amount of Modern Coins.
"It's too close to the end of the second round of the main mission. It's a bit difficult to find a way to earn a large amount of Modern Coins in just six hours."
The only formal method that Angle can think of now is to dismantle the pages of the book and sell the cards.
For example, he could disassemble the "clown" page and sell it now. As far as he knew, although this card was not a particularly high-level card, it was a basic monster from the gorgeous series and had a wide audience. If it was sold, it would be quite popular.
Not only newcomers are willing to buy it, even fashion wizards who already have a "clown look" may buy it to get the "recasting ability".
Therefore, the card of the Joker should be sellable.
I just don’t know where to sell it and how much is appropriate?
In addition to modeling the clown, Angel can also complete some other side quests, quickly obtain some fashion monster puzzles, and then use "universal fragments" to collect them, and finally disassemble them to sell.
The speed of making money by dismantling and selling cards is definitely faster.
Of course, the premise is that he can find a suitable channel to sell it.
As for unconventional methods, of course there are some. Although he is a law-abiding person, if time is really running out, he doesn't mind taking some unconventional paths.
For example, ask someone to "borrow" some Modern Coins first.
However, this behavior may also deepen his causal entanglement with the copy. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Angel generally will not consider taking this step.
……
Angel walked out of the Beverly Nursing Center with a thoughtful look on his face.
Ten minutes ago, he went to see Connors, the director of the nursing center.
Firstly, he wanted to inquire about their research progress on the mutant virus and see when they could complete the hidden task "Resurrection"; secondly, he also wanted to find out from Connors where there were channels for "selling cards".
Connors responded that there has been no breakthrough in virus research.
As for "selling cards", Connors didn't know much about it. He could only ask a doctor who used to be an adventurer, and finally summarized two channels.
Formal channels and informal channels.
If you go through formal channels, you can go to the Fashion Guild on the surface to sell it... Although the Fashion Guild often shouts the slogan of "strictly cracking down on private transactions of book pages", if you take the book pages directly to them to sell, they will accept it.
If people are in the underground block, they can go to a homeless house to sell the items. The homeless house has the Dark Round Table's endorsement and generally they won't cheat people.
However, whether it is the Wandering House or the Fashion Guild, the price offered is generally not too high, and is basically purchased at 10% to 20% lower than the market price.
Although the price is not high, the transaction is guaranteed and generally there won’t be any ugly situations.
Informal channels generally refer to private transactions on the black market.
In private transactions, if there are magicians who are in urgent need of a specific type of card, even if it is a low-level book page, the price they pay is much higher than that of the Fashion Guild and the Wandering House.
However, compared with formal channels, private transactions are generally unsecured and can easily cause unnecessary trouble.
However, for Angle, he is actually happy to get into some trouble so that he doesn't have to bother with "borrowing" Modern Coin.
Then, Connors also marked several black markets where book pages could be traded. It is worth mentioning that there was also a black market on the "Grave Street" that Angel visited in the Eighth Town.
However, Angel still remembered that the controller behind Tomb Street was the Homeless House.
Could it be that the homeless house is planning to take on both the black and white sides?
Ingres had no idea what was going on and was too lazy to think about it because he was not planning to go to Cemetery Street.
According to Connors, those who are willing to pay a high premium to purchase the book pages are generally private buyers. In the black market of the nearby underground town, there are relatively few private buyers, and most likely they can only sell the disassembled book pages to black market merchants. Although their prices are higher than those of regular channels, they are not much higher.
Therefore, Connors's advice is: "If you want to go to the black market, it's best to go to the black market in the 61st town."
Town No. 61 is located below the central area. It is the headquarters of the Dark Round Table and it is also the largest of all underground towns.
Therefore, Town No. 61 has the most abundant resources and the largest black market in the entire underground district.
Many private buyers who want to buy cards will also go to this black market. Even the fashion magicians on the surface will come here to buy cards.
Therefore, based on this information, Angel personally tends to go to the black market in Town 61.
When saying goodbye to Connors, Angel also asked about the approximate amount of Modern Coins currently in circulation in the Beverly Nursing Center's account.
He was thinking that if the money was not enough, he could take some from the nursing center.
However, Connors's answer disappointed Angle.
“There are about 200,000 ModernCoins in circulation at present.”
The two hundred thousand also includes employee salaries, purchase of medicines, replacement and repair of medical equipment, daily expenses of the nursing center... and so on.
If Angel takes everything away, the nursing center will basically come to a halt.
Ingres would naturally not do that.
He also hoped that the doctors at the nursing center would be able to revive the patients with the mutated strange virus.
Therefore, he also ruled out the option of withdrawing money from the nursing home's account.
It seems that I can only tear the pages apart and sell them.
Thinking of this, Angel left the nursing center and planned to return to the surface to take the Silver Wing Express to the central area.
When we returned to the surface, it was still raining in Modern City.
The corrosive acid rain left the entire street empty. Except for the ring train in the air which was still operating normally, the entire modern city seemed to have been paused.
There are still flashing neon lights and tall buildings, but under the dual attack of acid rain and smog, although it is so prosperous, there is an indescribable sense of depression.
Acid rain fell in a patter, creating tiny splashes of water in the puddles on the streets. Dirty fog enveloped the tall buildings, making the neon lights hazy and blurred, as if covered by a soft veil.
It is both prosperous and decadent; both impetuous and quiet.
Ingres sighed and walked slowly into the rain.
The power of nightmare concealed his figure and at the same time held up an invisible umbrella of protection. Even when walking in the rain, it did not cause any noise.
Angel walked silently along the street, checking the arrival time of the Silver Wing Express from a bird's eye view while observing the changes in the modern city.
In particular, see if you can find some people who are suspected to be "targeted" by fashion monsters, and then go over to complete the side quest.
After all, if you want to sell cards, one page of a book may not be enough.
Ingres constantly looked down at the modern city from a God's perspective, focusing on the areas near the activity stages, looking for people who were "sleeping".
Because it is difficult to judge whether someone is really asleep or being targeted by fashion monsters just by looking at them from a bird's eye view. Therefore, Angel needs to keep an eye on those "activity stages". Many stages in Modern City are held to attract fashion monsters. If someone is sleeping near the stage and is protected by everyone, it is very likely that he has encountered a fashion monster.
Angel took a quick look around and actually found a person who was suspected to be targeted by a fashion monster near an indoor model show.
This was a royal sister who was dressed extremely extravagantly. She looked like she had just stepped off the stage, without even changing her clothes. She lay on the ground backstage and fell into a deep sleep.
She was surrounded by a circle of bodyguards in black suits, who looked murderous and prevented anyone from approaching.
These thugs in suits seemed to be protecting her, but they didn't dare to move her easily, or even touch her...
Judging from this situation, this fancy-dressed lady is most likely being targeted by a fashion monster.
Moreover, judging from the model show held at the front desk...the fashion monsters eyeing her are either from the gorgeous series or the style series...
"After spending a few days here, I can even judge the type of fashion monsters..." Angel laughed at himself in his heart: "But then again, if it is really a fashion monster from these two series, then after disassembling it, the price should be very high."
However, this lady who was suspected to be targeted by the fashion monster was in a shopping mall in the East District at this time, far away from Angel.
He was still a little hesitant as to whether to go over.
In addition to this royal sister, Angel also found someone who was suspected to be the "winner".
However, Ingres was relatively familiar with this person.
——Zuniga.
This homeless man appeared near the West End Carnival.
He is also the only NPC in Modern City who has been "specially marked" by Angel.
Because he was so special, his gossip spirit's hidden ability "Pinned News" was able to lock onto Angel even across half a city.
Of course, it’s not that he directly locked onto the real person’s information, but Zuniga already knew about the existence of the “outsider”.
This is also the only NPC in the current copy who knows about the "aliens".
But even if Zuniga knew about the "aliens", Angel didn't care too much.
The main reason why Angel gave Zuniga a special mark was that he had heard two children mention near the stage in the West End that Zuniga often fell asleep suddenly regardless of the occasion.
Combining all the details, Angle guessed that Zuniga seemed to be very attractive to fashion monsters.
Angel's "Variety Elf" was also obtained from a side quest from Zuniga.
Because of this, Angel marked Zuniga, hoping to continue to fleece him in the future.
This time when using the God's Perspective, because of the "special mark", Angel subconsciously glanced at Zuniga. Then he found that... he was in a coma again.
Now that the night is deep, sleep seems to be the norm.
But Zuniga's coma was different. It was now on the street edge in the central area...
In fact, at the beginning, Zuniga slept in the middle of the street.
At that time, it was still raining acid rain.
Fortunately, Zuniga was discovered by nearby residents and dragged to a street curb with a roof.
It was raining outside and Zuniga couldn't be sleeping on the street, so there was only one possibility: he suddenly fell asleep.
In this situation, if it were someone else, Angel might still suspect whether it was a "disease", but for Zuniga, whose identity and background are extremely mysterious, there is probably only one possibility: Zuniga has been targeted by the fashion monster again.
"Zuniga's identity is very unusual, and the fashion monsters that are targeting him are also very rare..." Angel's variety elf originated from Zuniga, and the variety elf has almost never appeared in the Modern City. But from Zuniga, Angel received the side quest of the variety elf.
From this we can see that once Zuniga pops rice, it is definitely high-quality rice.
Zuniga is now being targeted by the fashion monster again, maybe we can go over and take advantage of him again?
Just right.
Zuniga is now in the central area, and it was also convenient in the past...
But why did Zuniga end up in the central area?
Angel still remembered that Zuniga usually lived in the West District, so how did he suddenly come to the Central District?
Could it be that he came to the central area to look for the "outer person"?
Previously, Zuniga obtained a fixed-point news through the ability of the gossip spirit:
"Fixed News: Poor Falu still doesn't know that the reason why he boarded the Sky Curtain Illusion at this time was just because the outsider wanted to attract the attention of the onlookers in Tina Plaza and get close to the current chief planner of Tina Entertainment."
Zuniga used this opportunity to learn about the outsiders in the central area.
So, Zuniga came to find "me"?
Angel pondered for a moment, and his guess became more certain...
But even if they really came to find him, Angel didn't care. He would just go and take some money, take the side quest and leave.
With this thought in mind, Angel quickened his pace.
However, at this moment, Ingres noticed another thing through the God's perspective.
