Chapter 93

Lin Yifan was embarrassed to find that when he took a single girl for a ride in his carbon-iron vehicle, they could still have a lot of fun, but now with three people, it was clear they wouldn't fit.

Fortunately, there were no major difficulties with transportation, and Lin Yifan called a taxi.

"Go to the black market," Lin Yifan said as soon as he got in the car, sitting in the front passenger seat.

The taxi driver pulled down his cap, nodded, and drove towards the black market in District 13.

The black market, which sounds like a place to sell contraband, is not actually that. The "black" refers to identity.

The sellers inside are not very formal, mostly consisting of cycle travelers, with a small number of black market merchants.

The black market, to put it simply, looks quite eerie, a bit like a mix between Chinatown and a medieval European street.

As soon as Lin Yifan and his group of four got out of the car, "swish!" a black robe mysteriously appeared on each of them.

"Let's go, don't get lost," Lin Yifan held Saya's small hand. At 1.55 meters tall, she was easy to recognize even in a black robe.

Leading the three into the black market, the street looked eerily deserted from the entrance. Lin Yifan was just wondering about this when a layer of gray mist appeared before him. As he passed through it, the scenery changed dramatically.

The street was full of cycle travelers in black robes, many of them standing on the street selling weapons. There were plenty of firearms, but knives made up only a small part.

This was the black market in the rookie area, and Lin Yifan didn't expect to find anything good here.

Sakurazuka Satsuki, who was following beside him, glanced at the dull swords and shook her head. "There are few good items; they seem to be ordinary goods picked up by cycle travelers from corpses."

"Alice! Alice's shotgun, can shoot coins! Don't miss it, I even got her autograph, come and take a look!"

"The Walking Dead Carl's police cap! The little boy's police cap, sisters, don't miss it!"

Hearing the hawkers at the entrance, Lin Yifan was speechless. What kind of people are these! However, a few older women did gather around, wanting to buy the cap worn by a young actor in a movie.

The deeper they went, the more terrifying the items became.

"T-virus! Genuine T-virus!"

Saya nudged Lin Yifan. "Hey, the T-virus, not interested?"

"What's there to be interested in? It can't be used in the Infinite City, and in the cycle, it might just trap the cycle travelers, or even yourself."

Lin Yifan shook his head. He knew what Saya was thinking—she wanted to buy it to see if it could enhance their strength. But with black market goods, the original T-virus had a much higher chance of turning someone into a mindless zombie than enhancing them.

There was no need to take the risk, especially since there was already a zombie in the prison.

"Don't look at these roadside stalls, I found some good swords." As an expert, Satsuki's keen eyes found a stall selling swords among the many gun stands.

As they approached, they saw the shop owner was already packing up.

The shop owner, also in a black robe with an unseen face, looked at the four people approaching and put down a box of weapons in surprise.

"Sorry, everyone, I'm about to close up."

"No problem, it won't take long. How much for these two wakizashi?" Satsuki pointed directly at two wakizashi on the table.

The shop owner was taken aback and laughed lightly. "Sorry, these are not for sale."

"Is that so? What a pity." Satsuki shook her head, her eyes filled with regret as she looked at the two wakizashi.

"What a pity? Ha, I've been in District 13 for so long, and this is the first time I've met someone who understands weapons. Pick what you like, I still have some time before my officer trial mission."

Hearing the shop owner's tone, it seemed the promotion was not difficult for her.

"Alright, I won't be too picky."

Lin Yifan squatted in front of the weapon box, trying to pick out some suitable weapons. He mainly wanted to buy a katana to learn swordsmanship from Satsuki.

But when Lin Yifan was about to pick up a blood-stained katana, his gaze fell on a cane placed nearby.

Yes, a cane, a plain and unremarkable cane.

Among the gleaming weapons, it stood out as unusual.

Shifting his gaze from the katana, he picked up the cane. "From Bloodborne?"

"Is this a weapon? I got it from someone who killed an Arbiter. It's just a transformable toy, take it if you like." The shop owner said indifferently.

Lin Yifan played with the unremarkable cane, touching the mechanism.

Click!

The plain cane disassembled into a chain. Lin Yifan tried swinging it a few times. The chain was very resilient, extending and retracting back into the cane shape without hitting himself.

"How much?"

After playing with it a few times, Lin Yifan liked it. It was low-key and not very threatening when held, but when disassembled into a chain, it had sharp points that could tear flesh if it hit someone.

"Hey, five thousand." The shop owner's eyes narrowed, looking cunning. It was clear he had just decided on the price.

Nan Liangxiang and Saya each picked up a Western military knife, probably just for fun.

"Ten thousand, for these three weapons." Without haggling, Lin Yifan paid the ten thousand directly.

Lin Yifan had come here mainly to take the girls out for a walk and to buy a katana. But now that he had this ordinary weapon from Bloodborne, he didn't plan to buy any other weapons.

The shop owner watched the four leave with a smile, then packed up the weapons and closed the door, looking at the money on his phone with a grin. "One million, achieved! I didn't expect to rip off a big spender before leaving, hehe."

The shop owner pulled down his black robe, revealing silver hair, and threw the shop key aside, choosing to vacate the store.

Silver Fox sat on the sofa, picked up his phone, and selected a mission, his expression turning sinister. "Arbiter, I'm coming."

Silver Fox pressed the execute button and instantly disappeared from the sofa.

On the other side, Lin Yifan had not walked far when his phone suddenly vibrated.

Lin Yifan picked up his phone and saw a title with four large characters.

[Task Started!]

Lin Yifan opened the message and saw a document sent by Natalia!

As he read, his face grew increasingly grim. The officer promotion task was not what he had imagined—a mission in a story world!

It was a group battle!

Cycle travelers would choose a side, and both sides had to kill everyone on the other side, leaving no one alive!

No matter how many years it took in the story world, the last person on the other side had to be killed.

There was no time limit, even if it came down to the last person. The losing side would have no survivors.

Arbiter vs. Iron Front, with a few independent cycle travelers.

Location: "Patriots" movie world.

Mode: Group Battle Restricted Mode.

Objective: Kill everyone on the other side.

But the key was not the objective; it was the restricted mode!
