Chapter 3 This is a ghost city

The next morning, as soon as Liu Bai got up, his maid Dou Dou appeared outside the door and told him about Liu Wan's arrangement.

When Liu Wan heard that she actually asked her to take the Orleans City trading team to the Ghost Market, Liu Bai's half-sleeping and half-awake instantly disappeared.

In my memory, Liu Wan attaches great importance to the ghost market. Her predecessor wanted to go there before, but Liu Wan never took him there.

How could I let myself go this year, and as the person in charge?

Could it be what happened yesterday?

Liu Bai was still guessing that Doudou had spoken again: "Young Master, please prepare. Deacon Martin will bring three appraisers to see you later. You need to take time to meet them."

"Where is my sister?"

"Sir, I've gone to the Government Affairs Department. It seems that there are some tax problems that need to be solved in the first half of the year." Doudou made up a reason with his eyes open and did not give Liu Bai the chance to refuse.

Liu Bai didn't know whether it was true or not, so he could only nod.

………

Three days later, Turhun Star Shadows 21.

After two hours of sailing, six red-winged spacecraft came from Kanale Star 130,000 kilometers away to this small planet with a surface area of ​​less than one thousandth of the Earth Mud Star.

A spacecraft lifting platform hidden underground began to descend from the surface. As the metal cover on the top of the lifting platform closed, the hatch doors of the five spacecraft slowly opened.

"Is this ghost market?"

Walking out of the cabin door, Liu Bai was covered in bright lights.

The running elevators, metal valves, steel walls and various colors of lights floating in the air are almost nothing to do with the ghost market that Liu Bai imagines in his mind.

"It's the first time for the young master to come, so it's not surprising that he will be surprised."

Doudou followed Liu Bai and walked off the spaceship, smiled and said: "The reason why this place is called the ghost market is not because of the gloomy environment, but because of the people who will come here."

"What's the meaning?"

Liu Bai showed doubts on his face, and behind him, Martin Connor, the third deacon in Orleans City, walked around and curled his lips: "There are all kinds of monsters, robbers, thieves, and robbers everywhere, and there will be no fewer people covered in blood on their hands. This is a paradise of sin. If the young master is not used to it, it is best to stay in our shop these days."

"Thanks to Deacon Martin for his advice."

Liu Bai nodded and responded, and then everyone stepped over the air pressure valve and walked into the elevator.

The things brought from Orleans City were unloaded and transported by other people. When Liu Bai walked out of the elevator entrance on the fifth floor underground, it was already very lively in front of him.

Just like most underground supermarkets and shopping malls, many vendors prepare in their respective stores. Some let passers-by watch, while others close the store door and prepare secretly.

The shopping mall aisle is very spacious and there are many small stalls left. Just looking at the commercial street in front of you, you can tell the scale and livelyness of the ghost market.

"Young Master, this is Area A, our shop is in Area B, let's walk from here."

Doudou was guiding the way, while Liu Bai glanced around with his eyes open, and walked around from time to time to time to several shops.

However, along the way, he didn't hear anything he really wanted to hear.

There are only two reasons for this result. One is that the strange sound that would prompt him a few days ago and could help him absorb spiritual energy has disappeared; the other is that all the shops he passed by did not have real ancient spiritual weapons.

There are two possibilities, Liu Bai prefers the latter.

"No wonder it is the place where monsters and monsters take root, it is purely a fake market." A muttered in his heart, and Liu Bai followed around without expression.

When I came to Area B, I looked up and saw that the storefronts of more than a dozen shops in front of me were marked with Orleans City.

"All these shops belong to us?"

"Yes, we rented 41 of the 178 shops in two streets in District B."

Doudou knew that Liu Bai was very unfamiliar with Ghost City, and explained immediately: "The adults don't need so much, so most of them will be subleted to other expedition teams in Orleans City again, which is also their welfare to take root in Orleans City."

After hearing this, Liu Bai nodded slowly. His sister had a great status in Kanalaixing, and Wei 21 was so close to Kanalai, so it was not surprising that she could have some power in the ghost market.

But Liu Bai was curious about the word "renting" and building such an underground store, so that everyone could travel thousands of miles to participate in the ghost market transaction. This is not something that ordinary forces can do.

"The owner of the ghost market spends time building this underground trading market so that they won't just collect rent. Do they also have shops?"

Hearing Liu Bai had new questions, Doudou pursed his lips and shook his head: "Young Master, all the underground buildings you see were not built by the owner of Guicheng. Just like our shops, they were all built by other tenants a long time ago."

Build by the tenant?

If it is understandable to decorate and inspect Liu Bai yourself, but you have to build the underground store yourself, why pay the rent?

You don't have to come here to trade?

Liu Bai was about to ask who the master was, but Martin whispered in a low voice: "Young Master, there are regulations in the ghost market. No one is allowed to talk about the ghost market owner here. Of course, it is best not to ask any other place. We don't need to know who the master here is, because he will not interfere with our normal transactions."

Seeing what Martin said, Dou Dou kept nodding. Liu Bai gave up the idea of ​​asking the owner here and said, "Who is responsible for maintaining order for the five-day ghost market transaction? Are we ourselves?"

"order?"

Upon hearing this, a sarcastic smile appeared on Martin's thin cheeks: "Young Master of Orleans City, you may not understand what I said before. This place is called the Ghost City, do you actually want to find order here?"

"From now on, it's better to put away your innocence, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to Boss Liu when I go back."

After Martin finished speaking, the three of them happened to arrive at the center of the Orleans City shop.

The Orleans City Lord's store belonging to Liu Wan is on the right side of the three.

The light area is more than three times larger than the shop next to it.

Seeing Martin walking towards a fat old man who was briskly greeting him, he pointed to the opposite side and said, "Young Master, we live there."

Liu Bai nodded silently and turned around with Doudou.

The moment he turned around, he noticed that the fat old man glanced at him, but the other party obviously had no intention of coming to see him, so Liu Bai naturally would not take the initiative to approach him.

"I shouldn't be welcomed by these people."

"It's not that they don't welcome it, they don't trust the young master. This group of people will recognize the adults, but it does not mean they will recognize you."

When Liu Bai heard the truth that Doudou said, he paused.

"What about you?"

"I? It doesn't matter, the performance of the ghost market has nothing to do with me."
