nAs soon as Locke left, Gerardo started sizing up his newly hatched Battle Beast.

nThe Battle Beast was his key to moving into the inner city.

nUnder normal circumstances, everyone had the right to enter the inner city, however, it was forbidden to spend the night in there.

n8 pm.

nIn the inner city.

nThe Universal Building Complex was already flashing with neon lights.

nIt was a 53-story building, a landmark of Atlanta, and also a gathering place for Beastmasters.

nThe building took up an extremely large area. It was built on several levels, and its interior contained various functions.

nFor example, it contained exchange halls, auctions, hotels, restaurants, and other facilities.

nIn terms of specifications, it was the most luxurious building in all of Atlanta!

nAccording to the official data…

nJust the transaction volume of this building alone had accounted for half of the entire economy of Atlanta!

nIt was easy to imagine.

nAfter all, this was the kind of status that Beastmasters possessed in this world!

nThis huge building…

nWas the largest money-swallowing beast in all of Atlanta!

nIt was constantly swindling money.

nAt this moment…

nOn the 20th floor of the building…

nLaid a black market that operated in broad daylight. Since the economy brought by Beastmasters was too huge, some transactions involved too much money, and as a result, they were unable to obtain official business licenses. However, Beastmasters were the noble profession in the world. Naturally, there were some things that were above the law.

nThis black market was one of them.

nThe black market operated in broad daylight. It was a business that was officially recognized by the authorities.

n

nLocke had arrived there. The black market was filled with a variety of goods, and they were all related to Beastmasters.

nRegarding rare materials…

nThe authorities had provided a lot of information. Many Battle Beasts had a fixed leveling path. As long as these materials were collected, and the Battle Beasts had reached the necessary level, the Battle Beasts would be able to advance to a higher stage.

nThese materials were all extremely valuable.

nOnly powerful Beastmasters could afford to consume them.

nOther than the path provided by the authorities, the other evolution paths would be left to each Beastmaster to explore on their own. As such, the amount of materials consumed was also massive.

nTherefore, there was a need for the black markets to exist. Through the cheap prices the black market offered, many Beastmasters had hoped to experiment with several levelling materials!

nUpon his arrival, Locke directly entered a shop that looked well-decorated.

nThe shop was called the Battle Beast Treasure Tower Chamber of Commerce. It was also known as the materials shop, and it had an abundant supply of materials.

nRegarding this, Locke had specially looked it up on the internet.

nAfter all, obtaining this information would aid him greatly in the future.

nNot long after.

nLocke spotted some common materials among them.

nThe rose gold Battle Beast, Fire Elemental’s evolution conditions appeared in Locke’s mind.

nHidden Evolution Condition 1: It must be about to hatch!

nHidden Evolution Condition 2: High Temperature Flame Crystal x 3!

nHidden Evolution Condition 3: Volcanic Dragon’s Eyeball x 1!

nHidden Evolution Condition 4: Scorching Lava Spirit x 1!

nAt the same time, the rose gold Battle Beast, Child of the Storm’s evolution conditions also appeared.

nHidden Evolution Condition 1: It must be about to hatch!

nHidden Evolution Condition 2: Wind Liquid x 3ml!

nHidden Evolution Condition 3: Advanced Magic Cube Crystal x 1!

nHidden Evolution Condition 4: Windward Grass Root x 3!

nHigh Temperature Flame Crystal x 3, Volcanic Dragon’s Eyeball x 1, Scorching Lava Spirit x 1!

nWater of wind x 3 ml, Advanced Magic Cube Crystal x 1, Windward Grass Root x 3!

nThere were a total of six materials, but the quantity required was different. Locke wondered if he was able to find them in the shop.

nLocke was greeted by a middle-aged man sat atop a chair.

nHearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the middle-aged man raised his head, and a professional smile quickly appeared on his face. “Hello, sir! Do you have any treasures that you want to buy or sell?”

n“Yes!”

nLocke nodded and took two steps forward.

nThen, he took out a piece of paper from his backpack and placed it on the table.

nOn it, listed the materials needed this time. The Hidden Evolution Paths were specific to each Battle Beast. If it was another Battle Beast, the required materials would be completely different. After messing up the order, Locke inquired about the materials’ availability.

nThere was nothing to consider.

nThe items on it were the materials that he needed in the near future.

n“What’s this?” The middle-aged man carefully picked up the list.

nLooking at the number of high grade materials, the middle-aged man could not help but be shocked.

nThe high-grade materials recorded in this list were priceless. Even the stores did not have them in stock.

nSome even needed to be transferred from the New York Chamber of Commerce.

nAmong them, the Advanced Magic Cube Crystal and the Scorching Lava Spirits were especially rare materials.

nEach of them had cost more than 30 million coins!

nMoreover, that was only when there was ample supply.

nIt was worth noting that it was not easy to obtain those two items. Sometimes, it was even required for high level Beastmasters to obtain them.

nFurthermore, the journey was extremely dangerous.

nAs such, not only were the materials extremely rare, their prices were also exorbitantly expensive!

nA moment later.

nHis expression changed slightly, and the middle-aged man looked at Locke once more.

nWith a serious expression, he asked, “Do you need all of these? This transaction is estimated to be close to 100 million federation coins!”

n“That’s right.”

nLocke nodded.

nThe middle-aged man inspected Locke closely. He did not look even close to 20 years old, and yet, his list was so luxurious.

nAlthough the middle-aged man was still skeptical, upon noticing Locke’s calm expression, he could only serve him well, and try to pry some information about him later.

nThe customers were always right!

nThus, the middle-aged man made gestured towards Locke. “Sir, this way please!”

nNot long after.

nLocke followed the middle-aged man to a private room.

n“Sir, please wait a moment. Our treasurer is coming over.”

nIn less than a minute, an old man wearing glasses rushed over.

nLocke scanned the old man’s body, and finally stopped at his chest.

nA purple Beastmaster badge was pinned on there, and it shone with a noble glow.

n“Sir, this is the Chamber of Commerce’s Master Kakroni. He’s a 5-star silver Beastmaster! At the same time, he’s also a Bio-identification master!”

n“I’m sure I’ll give you a satisfactory suggestion!”

nAt this moment, the middle-aged man’s authority had been completely handed over to the bespectacled old man.

nLooking at the materials on the paper, every single one of them was worth a fortune.

n“Mr. Locke, our chamber of Commerce doesn’t have any Volcanic Dragon’s Eyeball and Scorching Lava Spirit in stock. We’ll need to order the Volcanic Dragon’s Eyeballs from the New York branch. It’ll take about three days to obtain it. As for the Scorching Lava Spirit, we’re completely out of stock.”

nLocke could afford to wait for three days.

nThe power of the Battle Beast Treasure Tower’s Chamber of Commerce was extremely huge. It basically represent the whole of Atlanta. If they said that they did not have the goods, then there was no way it could be found in the other branches.

nIf they did, the Battle Beast Treasure Tower’s branch would transport the goods from the other branches.

nTherefore, Locke had to locate the Scorching Lava Spirit by himself.

nAfter thinking for a moment, Locke raised his head to look at the 5-star elder.

n“Time is not a problem. Other than the Scorching Lava Spirit, how much federation coins do you need for all the other materials?”

n
