Chapter 608: The Hesitation of the Lab Rat
Hearing Dong Tianyu inquire about the Black Market, Ye Liuyun naturally associated that Dong Tianyu must have obtained many valuable things on this trip, so he naturally asked Dong Tianyu about his findings.
"I did get a lot, but let's talk about those things later. Don't worry, I've kept all the good stuff for you. First, tell me about the situation at the Black Market."
Although he didn't know why Dong Tianyu insisted on learning about the Black Market at this time, since Dong Tianyu wanted to know about it and he happened to know, he might as well tell Dong Tianyu first.
"From what I understand, the Black Market outside the base, though seemingly a place established by people of all walks to fence goods, is actually still under the control of the Officials.
Not to mention, although the number of publicly known Path Entry Realm Martial Artists in the base has already exceeded twenty, at this time, the only organization that could possibly link these people together is still the Officials.
Any organization within the base that is not from the Officials and publicly claims to have several Path Entry Realm Martial Artists, you see if the Officials won't secretly make moves against that organization.
Aside from the abnormal number of Path Entry Realm Martial Artists at the Black Market, just looking at the large ship that houses the Black Market, any slightly clever person would realize that this Black Market must be intricately linked to the Officials.
Not to mention after the natural disaster, the large ships preserved from before the disaster have a very clear count. You know, before the flood disaster was predicted, not even the Officials had plans to build large ships.
And when someone predicted the flood disaster would occur, the Officials were then organizing people to build water platforms, so it goes without saying, I dare claim that ninety-nine percent of the large ships were built before the natural disaster struck.
Because of this, it's clear that whether it's an individual or any organization owning a large ship, it's actually registered with the Officials.
So you tell me about the sudden appearance of that large ship that established a Black Market, no matter how it came to be, it should be registered with the Officials.
Otherwise, such a huge ship wandering around the base area daily, if the Officials didn't send someone to board and understand the situation, that would be truly strange."
At this point, Ye Liuyun shrugged his shoulders, then said to Dong Tianyu, "Although there are many other details, just these two points alone are enough to conclude that the Officials definitely have a detailed understanding of the Black Market."
As soon as Ye Liuyun finished speaking, as if he suddenly realized why Dong Tianyu had come to him for information, he asked Dong Tianyu with slight confusion, "Uncle Thompson hasn't gotten involved with the Black Market in some way, has he?
Occasionally buying and selling goods at the Black Market isn't much of a concern, after all, the Officials established this Black Market using a front to facilitate some underground transactions, so they turn a blind eye to survivors who occasionally go there."
Ye Liuyun first reassured Dong Tianyu in a very casual tone, but seeing that Dong Tianyu's face was still somewhat solemn, he then asked with a slightly questioning tone, "Your father hasn't stirred up some trouble at the Black Market, has he?"
After asking this question, Ye Liuyun then eagerly continued, "Did your father force buy or force sell at the Black Market? No, that's not your father's style.
Or did your father, buy counterfeit goods or get trapped by someone at the Black Market? That's also not right, you've returned and your family isn't lacking in supplies."
After mentioning the two most common incidents at the Black Market and seeing that Dong Tianyu's face was still gloomy, Ye Liuyun incredulously asked again, "Your father didn't buy a store at the Black Market and start doing long-term business there, did he?"
When Ye Liuyun said this, Dong Tianyu then nodded, indicating that Ye Liuyun hadn't guessed wrong.
After receiving confirmation from Dong Tianyu, Ye Liuyun felt a bit incredulous, "Your father really bought a shop at the Black Market?"
"If it weren't for this, why would I have made a special trip here to find out about the situation at the Black Market?"
After hearing from Dong Tianyu that Mr. Thompson indeed had bought a shop at the Black Market, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but stretch out a finger, "You can't believe it, your father really has guts, you don't know how much the prices of shops at the Black Market have risen.
Do you know when your father bought the shop? But it doesn't matter, the prices of shops at the Black Market have been rising continuously and have never fallen, so regardless of when your father bought the shop, at least now it seems, he hasn't lost anything but probably has made quite a bit."
Seeing the envious expression on Ye Liuyun's face, Dong Tianyu straightforwardly said to Ye Liuyun, "If you're envious, just tell my dad, according to the current value of that shop, he'll sell it to you at a 30% discount, how about that?"
Upon hearing Dong Tianyu say this, Ye Liuyun not only didn't agree immediately, but directly refused, "Hey~ if it weren't because the two of us are brothers who have gone through life and death, if it were just an ordinary friend,
the way you said it, I would definitely have bought that shop right away, then acted as a middleman, and sold the house to someone else to make a nice profit."_
