Chapter 67 Items from Another World

After waiting for a while, Viktor finally came to the front from the back of the crowd.

The halfling Yun naturally glanced at Victor's attire and appearance, as well as Gal, who was following closely behind him, and a warm smile involuntarily appeared on his face:

"Hello, stranger. Is this the first time we've met, Youen?"

"This is Youen's stall, the most reputable and trustworthy stall in the entire Morningstar City black market. Whatever you need—alchemy materials, sorcery scrolls, or all sorts of rare items—just tell Youen, and I can satisfy you, my friend!"

Victor remained calm, glanced at him, and asked:

"I'm just here for a stroll."

"Don't you hold auctions here?"

"Haha, it seems this is your first time at the black market..." Yun chuckled as he stood up. Though only half the height of Viktor, his movements were remarkably agile for a halfling. "Yun never does any of those auctions, because Yun never misses a single deal!"

"As my friends know, Youen is the most trustworthy place in the black market. Although the prices may not be the lowest, at least here you don't have to worry about being cheated or having your money denied."

"So, my friend, just tell me what you need. If I have it, I'll give you a satisfactory price!"

Victor nodded slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

After pausing for a moment, he asked:

Do you sell spatial bags here?

"...Friend, did you want to buy it yourself?"

Yuen's eyelids twitched noticeably, then she straightened up abruptly and looked at Victor.

Clearly, even for him, the space bag was a considerable business opportunity.

Victor nodded slightly:

"I heard from a friend that you might sell cheaper space bags here, so I came to take a look."

Yun nodded slowly, then gave Viktor an unexpected answer:

"But as for spatial bags... I'm sorry, friend, I really don't have any here."

"Oh?"

Viktor looked at him with some surprise.

Yuen helplessly shrugged:

"Friend, a space bag...that's a high-end item."

"The black market is where underground wizards like us, who can't be brought into the open, gather. Even if a space bag does occasionally appear, it's mostly used by the individual, and very few people would sell it."

"Moreover, even if one wanted to sell them, it would be difficult to find suitable buyers on the black market."

"After all, the market price of a space bag is very transparent. You can get one in Morningstar City for just 1,000 magic stones, and you don't have to worry about any unexpected incidents. People who want to buy space bags on the black market won't spend 1,000 magic stones to buy them. If they want to sell them, they can only lower the price."

"The problem is that if the price is reduced too little, no one will be willing to buy it. If the price is reduced too much, people will be able to afford it. I might as well just go to the shops in the city to recycle it... So, friend, I really don't have any space bags to sell to you."

"I see......"

Viktor understood.

However, he was soon speechless, realizing he was still a bit inexperienced and had believed Nina's words.

I really thought this black market sold everything, but it seems... the black market is indeed a low-class place. They can't even handle business with space bags, so I guess a few hundred magic stones is the maximum they can handle.

It's not entirely without merit, but compared to those large merchant guilds that can casually throw out tens of thousands of magic stones, it's simply incomparable.

The halfling wizard named Youen, perhaps realizing he had shown his weakness too early, quickly asked again:

"Friend, is there anything else you need?"

"I don't have any spatial bags here, but I do have some rather special and valuable items that you might find appealing?"

These words brought Viktor back to his senses, and he casually asked:

"Is there anything special or good?"

Yuen gave a strange smile, quickly turned around, took a box from the trunk, opened the lid to reveal a set of potions inside, and placed it in front of him:

"Friend, are you interested in these 'psychedelic drugs'?"

"A hallucinogenic drug?"

Viktor frowned as he looked at the box in front of him and the potion inside.

"The effects of this potion, if I remember correctly..."

"That's right, it's a prohibited drug that's forbidden in Morning Star City." Youen immediately nodded with a smile: "But that's the advantage of the black market; even Morning Star Academy won't interfere here."

"So these hallucinogenic drugs can be found here. As long as you buy them here and use them yourself without revealing them, no one else will know."

Victor frowned, glanced at the potion in the box, and shook his head in refusal.

"Forget it, this kind of thing is useless to me."

Psychedelic potions... are potions that are somewhat famous among wizards.

The original purpose of this potion was for wizards to tame certain monsters. Using hallucinogenic potions could put unruly individuals into a hallucinatory state, quickly causing them to lose their strength and will to resist.

However, some wizards later improved the hallucinogenic potion, turning it into a potion that could rapidly increase mental strength after ingestion.

However, the cost is a high probability of addiction and the hallucinations that often occur after taking it.

Although it will not cause direct harm to wizards, some physical side effects and special mental reactions can affect a wizard's concentration, which will greatly affect a wizard's normal study and research.

If taken frequently or in large doses, it can even lead to a weakening of mental strength, preventing a qualitative change in mental power... which means being unable to advance to the rank of a formal wizard.

Therefore, two hundred years ago, this potion was banned from entering Morningstar City by Morningstar Academy.

However, because this potion has a strong effect on directly increasing mental strength, many wizards who have exhausted their potential will choose this method to enhance their mental strength, even at the cost of unstable mental state...

So even if Viktor had some reservations about the effects of this item, based on his experience, this kind of potion, even if equipped, would have a 50/50 mix of positive and negative effects. He wasn't without other options, so why waste time on something like this?

Yuen's smile faltered.

He was unable to fulfill the guest's request, and his own good offerings were rejected, which hurt his pride. Moreover, the look Victor gave him clearly showed his suspicion of Viktor's earlier boastfulness.

He recalled Victor's tone when he wanted to buy the space bag earlier; such powerful customers were rare in the black market!

So he gritted his teeth, turned around and went into his tent. In less than five seconds, he came out carefully carrying a box covered with a cloth and placed it in front of Viktor.

Under Victor's watchful eye, Yun tore off the cloth covering the box, revealing a 'mechanical watch' underneath:

"Friend, what do you think of this?"

"A mechanical watch from another world!"

"This is definitely a rare find, isn't it?"
