TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

The eyes were focused on the light being emanated from the crystal ball that Liu Yang was touching, as it shone brighter than the others so far.

Green… Brown...

"Brown color. Your level is between 20-30. Mr. Hawk River, right? Your rank will be bronze. Do the tasks to earn points and increase your rank. Go to the registration room and get your card. Next!!!"

The old man's words did not surprise others on the spot. A bronze-ranked adventurer at the age of Liu Yang was not an uncommon thing, it was even normal. But how did Liu Yang do that? His level is 50, how did the crystal ball miss the measurement?

Furthermore, even without adding the attribute points, the sum of the base points is much higher than someone between levels 20-30. His status level would be equivalent to level 50.

The answer was very simple. The crystal ball can only measure the points allocated when someone level, that is, only the points earned at each level. Attribute points earned for doing missions and titles were ignored and extra points for skills.

That is, as Liu Yang did not place the points in the last seventeen levels, the crystal ball only sees him as someone at level 30. This is the best method to check someone's level, but it is flawed in this type of situation.

But Liu Yang put the points up to level 33, so he should be considered a rank higher, silver. Why did he stay in the bronze rank? The answer to that question was also simple. He is someone from another world, someone from outside the Xinia Continent, his attributes were all zero at level 0.

The inhabitants of the continent, on the other hand, had many points at level 0, this helped Liu Yang to reduce his level when it was evaluated by the crystal ball.

Liu Yang went to the end of the hall and took out his registration card as a Bronze Adventurer.

The registration card was a small iron plate with several things written on it like name, rank, and possible level.

…

The noble families who heard the reports about Liu Yang being someone who is between levels 20-30, they were skeptical about it. For he managed to defeat several hordes of nocturnal creatures. This is not something that someone at level 20 or 30 can do.

They understood that Liu Yang managed to trick the crystal ball using some special method, but they don't know which one. But why would he want to do something like that? None of the noble families understood the reason.

If Liu Yang knew what these noble families were thinking about him, he would laugh a lot. He didn't do it because he wanted to, it was the crystal ball that did it.

The noble families continued to monitor to see what Liu Yang would do next. They want to tie him up, but if not possible, they will try to do other things depending on what he does.

…

"Young master, where are we going now?" Callie asked curiously. She has seen many new things in the city.

With each street corner, her eyes shone with curiosity, because there was so much that she had never seen before.

"We will find some more companions for our trip" Liu Yang wanted to get some reliable companions to travel with him. Because just like that, he can relax a little.

On the Xinia Continent, where betrayals and hidden schemes are common. Having a reliable group to help in the most dangerous hours is a good thing to do. Or become a very powerful person who doesn't need anyone.

As Liu Yang already had women with him, he was the first type, but he will also try to become a powerful person to protect his women.

Thus, he needed to create a group powerful enough that his women are safe when they appear on the Xinia Continent.

But to build a powerful group, he needs reliable people who will not betray him. Where will Liu Yang get a group of trusted people who will not betray him in the future? He already knows where to find it.

"Young master, where are we going to get more companions?" Callie doesn't know whether Liu Yang will recruit someone from the Adventurer Agency or do something else. There are many ways to recruit someone.

"I have a location in mind. Callie, follow me "

"Yes, young master" The pair walked through the narrow streets of the city for some time before arriving at a fair in the coolest area of ​​the city.

The place looked like a fair with several types of large tents, but instead of selling items or equipment, the place sold humans, animals, and other beings.

They all had something in common, handcuffs on their hands and feet. The place was a slave market.

"Young master, what is this place?" Callie was shocked to see this scene. She has never seen anything like this before.

"Callie, this is a slave market. The world is darker and more dangerous than it looks. The greatest enemy of humans is humans themselves. They are more dangerous than any creature. Callie, you need to remember that. " Liu Yang spoke in a severe tone. He had seen it in the world outside the Dark Continent, but inside the continent, it was much worse.

"I see ..." Callie was very shocked to find this out. Leaving that small village showed Callie a new world.

"Hello. My name is Orman Actor, I am the owner of this slave market. Does the esteemed client want a slave? " A fat man wearing heavy clothes and jewelry appeared before Liu Yang.

As it was difficult for someone to show up to buy a slave, Liu Yang's arrival represented a possible customer.

"Hi, my name is Hawk River. I would like to see what types of slaves you have to sell "Liu Yang introduced himself with the identity he created. This will be his new identity on the Xinia Continent.

"So you are Mr. River. It is a great pleasure to meet you. I heard stories about your achievements during the journey to Wildwick City "Orman Actor was surprised to learn that the person in front of him was Hawk River.

As an influential man within the city, he had already heard the news about Liu Yang from the nobles, but he was unable to see a picture of him before. So, Liu Yang showing up in his slave market was surprising.

"..." Liu Yang didn't comment on that. He understood that the nobles must have commented on him to the other nobles.

"I see that Mr. River doesn't want to talk. So let's talk about business. What kind of slave does Mr. River look for? I have beautiful, elegant women with soft bodies that are used to be bed partners, or do you prefer women with great fighting powers? Or animal companions? " Orman Actor pointed to several slaves in the tents.

"Can I check all the female slaves you have? They can be humans or animals "Liu Yang wanted to check on the slaves first. He preferred women.

"Female slaves… Mr. Hawk, I don't like putting different types of slaves together, as this can get in the way of presentation. The only thing I can do is show the slaves in each different tent. Is that a problem? " Orman Actor separates slaves by types and sex. The most beautiful women were placed in a better place, while the less beautiful women were placed elsewhere.

The animals were also separated in the same way. Males in one cage and females in another.

"Ok. That's better"

"Mr. River, follow me. I will show you the first slaves. They are the cheapest and of low quality."

"Mister River, are you seeing those slaves over there? They are women, who were prostitutes, but were sold by brothels to be slaves, each one is at level 1. Some of them have interesting skills, but since they were prostitutes, nobles don't like them very much. Each of them costs around thirty pieces of silver "Orman Actor pointed to a group of women sitting on the floor. He didn't even bother asking them to get up, because he didn't have much hope of selling them.

The women had common appearances, each of which was only using pieces of cloth to cover its important parts, so each piece of their bodies was revealed for buyers to see. Apart from these two pieces, there was nothing else. They were also a little dirty due to dust.

"Do you know what kind of skills they have?" Liu Yang was interested in the slave's skills.

"Yes. I have the book with records of their status and skills "Orman Actor took a book out of his pocket.

"Mister River, these slaves have the following skills. Cooking, Forging Weapons, Shooting, Fireballs, Sewing… "Orman Actor pointed at the slave and spoke her skill. He also showed her status to Liu Yang.

"I see ..." Liu Yang saw that most women's skills were normal. Nobles don't buy them because of their common skills.

"Do you want some of them?"

"This is not what I'm looking for at the moment" Liu Yang was looking for people with good combat skills. After he establishes his group and influence in the Temore Kingdom, he will think about other things.

"I see ... Mr. River, let's go to the next tent" Orman Actor knew that Liu Yang would have no interest in slaves with common skills if not even the nobles wanted them.

"Mr. River, this is where the intermediate slaves are. Their price is around one gold coin up to two gold coins, it depends on the slave. "Orman Actor pointed to the other tent.

The women's looks were better than the previous ones, but they had the same pieces of clothing, two pieces of cloth covering their private parts.

"Why the price difference?"

"The price is different because of their origins, some were prostitutes while others were women captured for having committed crimes. Because of that, the price changes. Another factor that changes prices is virginity, if a slave is a virgin, she will be worth more than the others "Orman Actor answers Liu Yang's questions calmly and without haste. He knows that he is a potential customer.

"I see…"

Shake… Shake…

The bag with the three beasts shook violently. The three beasts were suddenly very agitated.

(What are they doing ??) Liu Yang thought. He was surprised by this scene.
