He waited until school was over.
Rod drove to a black market in the city.
The black market was a special place where gray transactions took place.
More than 90% of the goods traded here were stolen goods of unknown origin, such as goods looted by the N word through zero-dollar purchases.
They would usually come here to sell them, although their origin was questionable, the price was quite low.
Only half or even one-third of the price in the mall.
There was no need to worry about being robbed by the seller when buying goods here.
Because the sellers are basically the local thugs, even if the newly bought goods are robbed, someone will help you find them back.
Some stores even have a pre-order function.
Customers can choose the goods they like, and professional N words will go to zero-dollar purchase to stock up.
In short, it is a quite magical place.
What's even more magical is that this place has been around for over a decade.
But it has never been cleaned up by the relevant departments.
One can't help but wonder if the upper echelons of the beacon country are deliberately indulging in the contradictions between the lower and middle classes.
Encouraging this behavior.
To transfer the resentment of the lower class to the middle class, sacrificing the interests of some of the middle class to meet the needs of the lower class.
Theoretically, as long as these two classes are in conflict, the upper class's power structure will be more stable.
A simple tactic, but very effective.
The lower class is living a difficult life, they go to zero-dollar purchase those shops.
And the shops buy insurance from insurance companies and receive compensation from the insurance companies.
Insurance companies collect huge premiums, making a steady profit.
It seems like no one is losing.
However, if you think about it carefully, it feels quite ridiculous.
In the past, crimes like robbery and theft would be punished as felonies, and there would be at least some fear.
However, a few years ago, some states gradually began to implement zero-dollar purchase legalization.
Among them, California, which is the most lenient towards this issue, once announced that "zero-dollar purchase" under $950 would not be filed.
And it further stipulated that shopkeepers and clerks are prohibited from stopping "zero-dollar purchases", and anyone who is injured or legally liable for stopping someone's "zero-dollar purchase" will be held responsible by the shopkeeper and clerk.
This made the probability of zero-dollar purchase skyrocketing.
In just a few years, many insurance and shops have gone bankrupt because of it.
If this continues, Rod feels that the beacon country is not far from civil unrest.
However, what does this have to do with him?
Even if there is a world war, it won't affect him.
Guns, powdered milk
One after another, big gold chains, small watches, N words who gather crowds to attract fans, and even streetwalkers in bikinis who solicit customers on the street.
Even in the dark corners, he saw two horny people, after taking drugs, they started fighting on the spot.
A bunch of people stood around watching, the number of fighters quickly changed from two to three or five.
It really is an eye-opener.
Rod, who had never seen such a spicy scene, looked at the fat black woman and quickly retracted his gaze.
If he kept looking, he felt like he would get styes.
He walked through the long street and came to a shop called Old Man's Weapon Shop.
As soon as he walked in, he saw that the lights were so bright that they were dazzling.
Under the light, all kinds of weapons emitted a cold gleam, like mirrors reflecting the light.
"What do you want?"
Hearing the movement, a middle-aged Chinese man with a bare upper body, thick body hair, and sweating all over, walked out smoking a cigar.
He was still holding a hammer in his hand, obviously he had just finished working.
He picked up the beer on the table and gulped down a few mouthfuls before turning his gaze to Rod, who was standing at the door.
"I want to buy some weapons."
Rod looked at the cold weapons in the house with interest, feeling like he had come to the right place.
"Some?"
The boss looked at Rod in surprise, he had sold weapons before, but most people bought one or two for collection out of interest.
This kind of wholesale is rare.
"They are all here, you can choose what you like, but my weapons are expensive."
"I'm afraid you can't afford it."
Pointing to the weapons hanging on the walls on both sides, the boss said casually.
Rod nodded and began to browse.
As he browsed, he suddenly realized that the weapons here seemed a little familiar.
A fiery red spiral greatsword with black patterns all over it.
A greatsword with a domineering shape, a goat-headed demon carved on the handle, and two glowing eyes.
Two wide short swords the length of a forearm, connected by a chain.
An exquisite longsword forged from silver.
"The Greatsword of the Firekeeper... Frostmourne... Chaos Blade... Silver Sword.."
"Yata Mirror... Sleeve Sword... Leviathan Axe... Rebel Blade... Destruction Sword.. Ebony and Ivory.. Sacred Whip..."
"I'm going, it's quite complete."
Rod's lips twitched, he didn't expect that the owner of this weapon shop was also a game enthusiast.
These weapons are all classic equipment from the game.
It has to be said that the forging craftsmanship is really amazing.
They almost perfectly replicated the appearance of these games one-to-one, and the quality is also good.
Rod even found a set of full-body full plate armor and the Eternal Shield in the very back.
For a moment, his gaze towards the boss became even more complicated.
This boss has a complex background.
"Don't look at me like that, it's all for a living."
The boss looked at Rod's gaze and couldn't help but shake his head.
His family has been blacksmithing for generations, and he also likes this industry.
However, in this era, who would still buy cold weapons? Even if you have high martial arts skills, you can't stop a bullet.
At most, there will be a cold weapon collector who will come to buy one.
But, people can't starve to death, right?
So, he made a decision that went against his ancestors.
Innovation!
Since ordinary cold weapons couldn't be sold, he made them into special shapes.
He found all kinds of classic equipment models online and forged finished products, selling them at high prices to those game enthusiasts with a collection fetish.
The results were very good, the shop's revenue increased tenfold.
He can barely make a living.
