Chapter 354 Trading Market

The training ground was a bit different from what Liu Gan had imagined. The zombies had chains around their necks and were tied to wooden stakes. The rookies stood at a safe distance with sticks in their hands. On the one hand, you can feel the horror of these zombies, and on the other hand, you can find ways to attack their necks and other vital parts when the zombies stretch out their hands.

These zombies were captured by high-level players and placed in the training ground. If a new player wants to gain experience by killing them, he must pay a certain amount of reward points.

Zombie catchers can get 20 bonus points for catching a zombie back to the training ground, but new players who kill a zombie need to pay 40 bonus points for it.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for new players to have too many reward points. They either use their belongings to exchange reward points with the official, or do some service work in the community, such as cleaning, washing clothes, washing vegetables and cooking, and being on duty. Exchange for reward points.

Of course, some transactions can also be carried out between players, such as completing some tasks and providing some services for a certain player in exchange for reward points in the hands of another player. There are many things that female players use their bodies to exchange reward points with male players, and it is officially allowed, but they must go to the designated place to trade.

For transactions that occur at non-designated locations, once a dispute arises, in most cases, the statement of the female player will prevail, and the male player will be punished under the deliberation of the elders, which reflects the protection of vulnerable groups.

Along the way, Liu Qian even saw some new players standing at the intersection, begging for reward points from the old players in the past, and some lucky ones actually got some. It has to be said that a real small society has been formed here, and it is functioning normally.

"Can I walk around by myself now?" Liu Gan asked Kong Mu.

"You'd better act collectively with us, which will benefit your future development here." Kong Mu expressed some hesitation.

"But I still want to familiarize myself with the situation here before deciding whether to stay here." Liu Qian said with a very insistent expression.

"In this case...then you can act freely." Kong Mu was a little unhappy, but finally agreed. Every player who entered Novice Village never said that he wanted to leave, and Liu Gan said he had to think about something before staying. It made him feel incredible.

Liu Gan asked Han Guangming and the others to stay on the training ground and continue pretending to be rookies. He took Yinhe, Li Dingxiang and Nana to wander around the Agricultural College. In addition to the Agricultural College, there are several other large colleges and universities nearby, and now they are all connected together to form the territory of Xinshou Village.

Because of the novice task system and reward system, there are people to do many basic things. The construction of the whole community looks good. There are many signposts and even maps at any intersection. Directions to each area are indicated.

Some signs point to a certain road, some point to the training ground, and some point to the cafeteria, classrooms and so on. But what interested Liu Qian was a sign about the trading market, pointing to the largest trading market in Xinshou Village. It should be a place where players in the community trade items they don't need with each other, and then exchange for some items they need.

The trading market is a bit far away. At the junction of several universities, this place was probably a comprehensive trading market before the catastrophe.

After coming to the trading market, Liu Qian discovered that the most traded thing here is not food or various daily necessities, but zombies. Some zombies with severed limbs and even broken teeth.

Needless to say, this is the place where experience points are sold in the market. Compared with the training ground, newcomers need forty reward points to kill a zombie captured by an old player. But the zombies here only cost around thirty. If there is a price difference, there will be a market, which is very attractive to new players who are afraid to go out to hunt zombies but want to upgrade themselves.

The trade items in the market are not zombies. The second most traded goods are living people, most of them are women, and they are kept in iron cages one by one.

They didn't wear watches on their wrists, so it goes without saying that they were local survivors who were captured here by players who were out and sold as items.

The sellers of living people were divided into several districts. Li Dingxiang wanted to find her sister and entered one of the largest districts. Liu Gan asked Yinhe to take her to look for them, and he himself went to another relatively small district. After entering, he stopped in front of an iron cage.

In an iron cage, there is a woman locked up.

"Is this little brother interested in buying one? One-time buyout. In the future, you can enjoy it as much as you want, and you don't need to go to the red light district to trade." A merchant saw Liu Qian approaching, so he greeted him.

"Buy me! I'm good at housework, other aspects... will definitely satisfy you..."

The survivor woman in the iron cage also pushed herself against the iron bars and vigorously promoted herself to Liu Gan, looking at Liu Gan with a begging expression on her face. She was a woman in her twenties, wearing only a few clothes on her body. Shivering in the cold wind.

This is also a kind of marketing method for the merchants. Some players with sympathy can't see these people so miserable, so they may bid to buy it on impulse.

The other women in the iron cage also tried their best to sell themselves to Liu Gan, and some even took off their few clothes and pants, trying to stimulate Liu Gan's desire to buy.

Novice Village's protection of players can be said to be the ultimate, but for these local survivors, they are completely treated as tools and items. Survivors can only be the private property of the players. Players have complete decision-making power over their private property. Apart from not allowing killing, the elders will not care about other things.

If a player has many survivor slaves under his command, he can even be a small slave owner without doing much work himself. With the bonus points earned by these slaves, he can get a very good life in Novice Village.

So if these players have the opportunity, they will actively go out to capture the local survivors and take them as their slaves. Those elders with relatively high ranks in the Presbyterian Church even raised a dozen or even dozens of male and female slaves in their private houses, and lived a life of slave owners with no worries about food and clothing.

Liu Gan couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene. Although he was neither a saint nor a savior, he still couldn't accept seeing the big living being locked up in an iron cage for sale like this.
