Chapter 261 Black Market, Gambling on Eggs

It was precisely the third quarter of Zi time (11:45 PM).

Right on time, the door opened.

And then, what greeted everyone's eyes was an extremely bustling night market.

Moreover, quite a few people, like Lin Chen and the others, walked out of the houses located behind the market.

At this moment, Lin Chen discovered that his soul perception still retained a range of two meters.

He even heard the conversation between a man and a woman next to him.

These might not all be humans.

However, without exception, they had all transformed into human forms, no different from humans.

In this case, Lin Chen didn't need to disguise himself; otherwise, he would be the odd one out.

"Brother, don't go gambling on eggs again this time! Last time, all our resources were lost by you. Humph!"

"Cai Ling, trust me one more time. This time, I'll definitely hatch a divine beast. If I do, I can earn back our losses, and I can even give you a divine beast..."

"Hehe, you say that every time, but what's the result?"

"This is the last time, okay? Let's go, Shop Number Eight is open. Let's go take a look!"

"..."

The siblings walked away.

Lin Chen, hearing this, was piqued with interest.

What was gambling on eggs?

He had only heard of gambling on stones, but that had already been played out before Blue Star was invaded.

Many people had even gone bankrupt because of it...

Frankly speaking, it was like a scam.

Judging from the siblings' conversation, it seemed that gambling on eggs was also a scam.

However, Lin Chen still followed them.

He planned to take a look.

It was okay to just watch without playing.

Soon, they arrived at Shop Number Eight.

This shop was quite large.

And there were quite a few people.

"Open! Open! Open!"

Many people gathered together, shouting loudly.

Beep!

The next moment, a five-colored spirit bird appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Young Master Xuan is awesome! Another epic-level one, haha... Following Young Master Xuan is the way to make big money, brothers!"

Someone exclaimed with joy.

Then, Lin Chen heard someone nearby discussing.

"Is it real? Is that person really Young Master Xuan?"

"Look, he's not even wearing a mask. How many people in Earth City of the Eastern Divine-Demon Battlefield would dare to be so bold here in the black market? That person is the son of the president of the Liancheng Business Association in Earth City, Liancheng Xuan!"

"I heard that Liancheng Xuan is a genius. He's already at the peak of Third Revolution, the peak of the Divine Envoy Realm, and he's especially good at identifying pet eggs. Anything he picks never misses. Should we follow him and buy a few?"

"Let's go. Although the odds are low, it's a guaranteed profit!"

"..."

Many people went over, following behind that Young Master Xuan.

"Brother, should we also follow Liancheng Xuan and buy a few?"

Lin Chen again heard the woman named Cai Ling speaking.

"Hmph, I'm not going to follow him. Liancheng Xuan... what is he? Ling'er, remember, he's the reason our family has fallen to this state. You have to stay away from him in the future!"

"But, making money shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"..."

Lin Chen shook his head when he heard this.

However, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Through soul perception, Lin Chen already knew what race the siblings were... Ice Phoenix Clan.

The Phoenix bird clan that specialized in ice-type magic talent.

Also known as the Phoenix.

However, Lin Chen knew in the game that Phoenix and Huang were two separate races.

There was even the Luan Bird Clan.

These races should all be considered closely related.

He didn't expect that these races were actually rooted here on the Divine-Demon Battlefield.

The previous Liancheng Xuan was a Fire Phoenix.

Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix...

It seemed that they were really enemies!

However, Lin Chen agreed with Cai Ling's words... Making money was definitely not a problem. Who wouldn't want money?

This Liancheng Xuan was said to be so magical, Lin Chen also went over, planning to buy a few himself.

However, when he stepped forward, his eyes lit up...

That's right, these pet eggs were all the same size.

And they were all the same color!

Even the patterns couldn't be discerned.

But Lin Chen was a 'player'!

These eggs could all be touched.

And as long as Lin Chen touched a pet egg, he could see a prompt indicating what quality egg it was.

So Lin Chen began to touch them one by one...

As expected of the black market of the Divine-Demon Battlefield!

The lowest quality pet eggs here were purple, then gold, and then iridescent!

However, these pet eggs were different from what Lin Chen had seen in the game. There was a special material wrapped around them, completely covering the purple, gold, and iridescent shells, making it impossible to judge from the outside.

Moreover, these special materials were almost all naturally formed.

It seemed to also have the effect of isolating soul perception. In the black market, which already had the effect of blocking soul perception, this layer of material was like double insurance.

It was estimated that only powerhouses at the Celestial God Realm could stand in front of the pet eggs and perform soul perception on them.

Perhaps that was why a game like gambling on eggs was born!

After all, this black market was only frequented by powerhouses below the Celestial God Realm. At the level of Celestial God, there was no need to come to the black market to trade.

But Lin Chen unexpectedly discovered that with his soul power, he could actually penetrate these shells and delve into the pet eggs, but he could only see one corner of the pet egg.

For example, right now, Lin Chen sensed that there was a furry little paw inside the pet egg he was touching.

From this, he could judge that it seemed to be a feline pet... After all, Lin Chen recognized the cat paws of a cub.

But, it was hard to say what kind it was.

Iridescent eggs were at least perfect quality. How many kinds of mythical-level feline pets were there?

Lin Chen fell into thought.

It seemed that to participate in this game, he still needed something...

An illustrated guide!

Just at this time, Lin Chen saw Cai Ling's brother take out a booklet and say, "This is the pet illustrated guide I've collected over the years... Little sister, you wait, this time I definitely won't let you down again!"

A pet illustrated guide that he collected himself?

This was really getting what he wanted!

Lin Chen smiled slightly.

But, how could he borrow it?

Just at this moment, a discordant voice sounded: "Yo, isn't this Young Master Feng Yuling of the Ice Phoenix Clan? Miss Feng Cai Ling is also here! What, here to play gambling on eggs? Hehe, do you dare to gamble with my Young Master Xuan?"

Liancheng Xuan!

He directly came to Feng Yuling and his sister.

Without a doubt, this was a provocation.

Lin Chen frowned at the sight.

Someone had come to cause trouble.

He thought about it, and then took a step back, retreating behind the crowd.

He didn't want to create trouble for himself for no reason. It seemed that this illustrated guide was...

Lin Chen planned to leave.

But at this moment, Feng Yuling said, "I'm not gambling with you. Can't I just play my own game?"

He refused?

Lin Chen stopped.

If there was no trouble, he could try it out.

The power came back at 12 AM. I wrote three chapters, which makes up for yesterday.
