Chapter 268. Market

Chapter 268: 268. Market

They returned to their apartment and saw the snow has been cleaned. They returned to their respective apartment and kept their documents first.

Well, Anna put hers inside the space while Dylan kept his safe in his bedroom.

"Sister Anna, how about if you move to my apartment?" Dylan suggested.

Anna thought for a moment and then nodded. "Later, I’ll move my things, ok?"

"Yes!" Dylan nodded happily.

After their agreement, the two of them walked while holding hands in the direction of the supermarket. The road has been cleared. At the very least, most of them. Even if there were still some pile of snow on the side of the road, it would not impede them from going to the supermarket.

Perhaps, many people were cleaning together because they also want to go here.

It was quite good.

The supermarket was still stoked with food. But the amount was already less than how it used to be. At this hour, it should have been more full.

"Let’s buy some meat and vegetables. How about grain?" Dylan asked as he picked a lot of food to the cart.

Anna saw this and was a bit surprised. "Are you not worried that you can’t finish it all?"

"It’s fine. The cold temperature will help to make it last longer," Dylan replied.

Anna thought for a moment and then agreed. Anyway, her part can be kept in the space, so it would never go bad.

Thus, the two of them bought a lot and after seeing that there were too much of them, they asked to be delivered to their apartment later. Of course, they paid more as the fee to deliver these things.

"Now that it’s done, let’s go to the other market." Dylan nodded and brought Anna out.

"Other market? There are other market?"

"Yes." Dylan thought for a moment and then replied, "As you know, the west area is the cheapest and most rowdy area. But at the same time, there are a lot of people who have strange things. They wanted to trade these things but felt that the price in the trade center is not good enough.

After some contemplation, they decided to make some kind of market at the south area. In this area, you can trade with others in a district and a lot of people can also set up the stalls. The stalls are relatively simple. Most of them are just sitting on the ground and then put out and write what they wanted to sell.

Now that it’s snowing, it’s not so easy to put their things on the ground. But they should be able to figure out a method or clean up the area for them to sell things," Dylan explained.

Anna listened attentively.

She also knew that the trade place was only the official price set by the base. If the people felt dissatisfied or wanted something more, they had to figure out their own way. Naturally, private trade was the best.

There was no restriction for this and the base even set up the place. Of course, the risk for private trade was that there was no authoritative base to control the quality. Whether they obtained what was good or not, it would depend on themselves.

If the seller was honest, then it was good.

But if it was not... then forget it.

They could only blame themselves for being unlucky or try to sue the seller. Even if the current situation was a bit chaotic, law still existed here. And most people also wanted to live well, so they would usually cooperate.

Just some of them were not very willing and would make trouble from time to time.

"What do they use to buy things?" Anna asked.

"It can be anything from money, contribution points, or trade with other items. It’s all depend on what the seller wants." Dylan smiled. "You can also try to bargain when you get there. Some of them accepted it."

"I see."

It didn’t take long for them to reach the south area. The area was not that far from where they were located. Besides, the area was extremely long.

There was an extremely long road with countless stalls placed on the sides. There were also guards standing at the side, watching the movement of the people here. If anyone dared to make trouble, they would be kicked out immediately.

And those who wanted to use the stall instead of using the ground, they would have to pay a certain amount of contribution points.

It was not much, but they had to pay a certain percentage from their sales. If their sales were good, this amount would be nothing much. But if their sales were bad, then they would rather bring some cloth and laid it on the ground.

It was cheaper this way.

But at the same time, the guards would not pay much attention to them. Any incident would be a bit late and had to follow a rather rigorous process to retrieve and so on.

"There are still a lot of people here." Anna was amazed when she saw the row of stalls were filled with people.

"Well, a lot of people were here to buy things," Dylan replied.

"I see."

They walked down the road, looking at the stalls at the side and also those on the ground in the middle. There were many people here and it was a bit crowded. It would be a bit hard to keep track of everyone’s movement when it was full.

"Gold, tools, and so on. There’s no food." Anna looked around and found that the number of people who sell food is very few.

"Food is expensive even at this time." Dylan shrugged.

After some time, they saw a stall that has several people crowded but no one come closer. It seemed that they were hesitating whether to step forward or not.

Anna and Dylan looked over curiously and upon seeing the price set on the stall, they were stunned.
