Chapter 78: Infinite Market of Dreams


    Not only did ck Hat have the 5th Movement, but he also got the 12th Movement without anyone knowing. It was truly shocking to the yers to have someone use two movements at the same time.


    Jin Cheng still couldnt figure out ck Hats intention, but the matter had reached this point and directly banging into ck Hats store was definitely not wise, so he quickly made a decision  Lets first go to the Ruby Bar to find K.


    Ruby Bar was a franchise like ck Hats Misceneous Store. Naturally, there was one in Zone E.


    The waiter recognised Jin Chengs face and respectfully greeted him, but when Jin Cheng asked about K, he shook his head and said: Sorry sir, my boss isnt in Zone E right now.


    Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows: Are you sure of he isnt here?


    Hes really not here.


    Okay.


    As the word okay fell, before the waiter could even breathe a sigh of relief, a truly threatening force fell directly on his head: Go tell your boss, Ill wait for fifteen minutes.


    After that, Jin Cheng took Tang Cuo into the nearest room.


    Then he closed the door and sat down.


    Tang Cuo said bluntly: K is obviously avoiding you.


    Jin Cheng: Its normal, hes much closer to ck Hat than me. But this doesnt mean that ck Hat and he are on the same side. Maybe he knows about the Twelfth Movement, but he doesnt necessarily know what ck Hat wants to do with it.


    ck Dragon Scale, The Pale Heart, Drakes Gem and Spark of Forgiveness. What use are these four items?


    I dont know.


    You dont know?


    Ive been in Yong Ye City for only three years.


    Jin Cheng shrugged: The only thing that is certain is that these four items must be extremely important and have uses that we dont know. And looking at the names, they seem toe from a Western Fantasy dungeon.


    Tang Cuo immediately thought of [Kingdom Hidden In The Moonlight]. In fact, the thing that worried him the most was the timing of ck Hat using these movements. It had been a while that ck Hat had the 5th Movement in his hands, so why did he choose today?


    A few days ago, K learnt of the news that Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng triggered a hidden dungeon, then K brought them the news about Lin Yandong.


    K had a rtionship with ck Hat, and ck Hat happened to mention four items that seemed toe from a Western Fantasy dungeon. Could there be any connection between these?


    Jin Cheng also had this spection, but there was no concrete evidence so it was useless to say more. In addition, these items like ck Dragons Scale were produced by a dungeon, so if ck Hat was willing to exchange his 5th Movement for these, they must be extremely rare and could be set aside for the time being.


    However, the more problematic issue now was how ck Hat used the 12th Movement to advertise that thing.


    The [Twelve Movements] cant just be simply used for advertising. This Infinite Market of Dreams is likely based on a certain item trading system in Yong Ye City. Jin Cheng said.


    Why did ck Hat open a misceneous store? Tang Cuo suddenly asked.


    It started about seven years ago. He didnt take the civil service exam when he first came to Yong Ye City. He changed his game ss after he levelled up to Zone A.


    He knows Lin Yandong.


    Thats right. Jin Cheng snapped his fingers: Regardless of whether its a normal yer or a civil-servant yer, they must be closer to the truth than any of us. Compared to Lin Yandong, ck Hat and K, we still know too little. Then theres that reclusive fortune teller in Zone B, a very strange woman.


    A fortune teller?


    Shes also a civil-servant yer, and her ability is prophecy. She opens a fortune telling shop, but it only takes in customers every three months and entertains three people at a time. I went there once. She told me that in April this year, my life would have a major turning point.


    April? Wasnt it the day when Tang Cuo came to Yong Ye City? It was also the beginning of everything.


    Tang Cuo couldnt help but think of those unfinished words in the movie theater again, but he knew now wasnt the time to talk about it. At this moment, someone knocked on the room door.


    Yo. K walked in, d in his standard shy purple suit. He nced left and right and subconsciously wanted to sit next to Tang Cuo, because he didnt want to sit with Jin Cheng.


    But when he was about to sit down, Jin Chengs long legs stretched out and blocked his way. He stood up and firmly sat down beside Tang Cuo, then he gestured to K to sit opposite them with a cold expression.


    Does it bother you so much? K was lost for words.


    It does. Jin Cheng crossed his legs and put his hand on the back of the sofa, looking as though he was a rich maning here to collect his debt. Knowing his temper, K shrugged helplessly: You cant me me for what ck Hat does.


    Jin Cheng smiled: Dont you have your share of the 12th Movement?


    K: Im a businessman. As long as someone buys information from me and can afford the price I name, Ill give it to them. You never asked me if I had any clues on the 12th Movement. How can you me me?


    Jin Cheng: So now its my fault?


    K shrugged as the corner of his mouth tugged upward.


    With smiles on their face but curses in their hearts, the two men sat opposite each other across the table, neither of them able to see the others true n. Suddenly, Jin Cheng said: Can you guarantee that you didnt leak my information to ck Hat?


    K: That is against my professional ethics.


    Jin Cheng: But K, looking at the twows that ck Hat made, its not a question of ethics. You should know what consequences this will bring. You may not care about what will happen to ordinary yers, but are you really going to side with ck Hat to fight against me? What do you think  will the remaining seven movements fall into my hands or ck Hats?


    K smiled elegantly, a cold light shing in his eyes.


    Remaining calm as always, Jin Cheng lowered his gaze to his fingers that were tapping on the table: I want to get him out of the way, which is part of my purpose behind the [Twelve Movements]. Do you really think that Im a good man because I used the first two movements to do some good deeds?


    What a tant threat.


    K established a foothold in Yong Ye City and was specialised in intelligence business. With his unique ability, even Lin Yandong wouldnt take him lightly. Throughout the whole zone, only this lunatic Jin Cheng dared to threaten him head-on like this.


    But even K must admit that Jin Cheng really had such capabilities.


    I never deliberately revealed any information about you to ck Hat, nor did he ask. I was also surprised by what happened today. K said calmly: When I asked ck Hat what he wanted to do with the 5th Movement, he didnt answer me. He caught you off guard this time, which means he definitely didnt let any news leak out prior to all this. If you want to ask more, you might as well go to thedy boss.


    Jin Cheng: Whats the use of those four items?


    K raised his eyebrows: This may require a number of points.


    Jin Cheng asked back: Do you really have relevant information?


    Not right now.


    Then put it on your tab.


    Two creditors talked with such a straightforward tone. Tang Cuo understood how they worked so well with each other.


    What about the Infinite Market of Dreams? If you dont even know this, close your business.


    Tsk. K began to learn from Jin Cheng as he found that this word really expressed his inner thoughts. But he couldnt smash his own signboard and still had to do business with Jin Cheng.


    He sorted his thoughts and said: This one, let me give it to you for free. The Infinite Market of Dreams is actually a gambling tform. You can also regard it as a special dungeon of Yong Ye City.


    Before Jin Cheng spoke, Tang Cuo opened his mouth: If the yers are there to gamble, what is the bet? Who are they betting with? Who is the dealer?


    K looked at Jin Chengs little disciple who had remained undisturbed from the beginning to the end and felt very intrigued: You can bet on everything you have. You can bet against the system or against other yers. The dealer is ck Hat. Hell draw a portion of the winnings in each game as amission.


    Tang Cuo: He wont y the game himself?


    K smiled. He found that Tang Cuo really hit the right point every time he asked a question: We cant exclude this possibility.


    Jin Cheng then asked him: Isnt your face twitching too much today?


    K: ???


    Jin Cheng : If your face is having muscle problems, go find a cure.


    K: Is something wrong with your head?


    <em>Im being so cooperative here and you say Im having muscle problems? </em>K was so angry that he rolled his eyes, secretly wishing to just kick Jin Cheng out.


    Jin Cheng didnt fancy staying here either. There was no way that shy purple suit dude could be straight, and he kept smiling at Tang Cuo. Besides, Jin Cheng didnt totally believe what he said just now.


    The yers of Yong Ye City were all swindlers.


    In the end, Jin Cheng put down the payment for the tea and said: Tell ck Hat that he wouldnt want to get on my nerves.


    After leaving the bar, Jin Chengs face was dark. The smile on his lips was a little bit cold but his eyes were terribly cold, as though anyone who looked into those eyes could die at once. Tang Cuo rarely saw him like this and asked: Is it bad?


    Jin Cheng: Very bad.


    Tang Cuo: ?


    Jin Cheng: He dys my major life event, hell be struck by lightning.


    That ck Hat bastard should be pierced by a thousand knives. Of all the timings to pick, he had to cause trouble right when Jin Cheng was about to confess. He deserved to be kicked by his lover and stayed single for a lifetime.


    Tang Cuo had no way to refute this.


    On the street and in front of everyone, Jin Cheng blocked him: Dont you have anything to say?


    Tang Cuo: ?


    Jin Cheng: For example, Im in a very bad mood, coax me.


    Tang Cuo looked around. There were even fewer people on the street now; many of them were walking in a hurry and some were even squatting down by the roadside clutching their heads, looking all painful and helpless. He said: Other yers seemed to be in a worse mood than you.


    But only when Im in a good mood can I think of a better way to solve the problem, right? Jin Cheng also saw what was happening around him, but he had never fallen into the same despair as ordinary yers.


    Tang Cuo felt that this logic was really wless, but he was incapable of coaxing Jin Cheng, so he ruthlessly walked past and said: Wen Xiaoming should be looking for you.


    Wen Xiaoming indeed had reached Zone E. He rushed over immediately after hearing the system announcement and brought news about ck Hat with him.


    Just now, Miao Qi came to find me and said that they were investigating ck Hat. He also said that we shouldnt make any move. Lin Yandong woulde to see him in person soon.


    This was unexpected. Jin Cheng didnt expect that ck Hat could lure Lin Yandong out from his usual behind-the-scenes position. The two must have known each other before. Perhaps Lin Yang knew ck Hats purpose for wanting those four items.


    Jin Cheng stroked his chin and asked: How long havent you entered a dungeon?


    Wen Xiaoming: Three days.


    Jin Cheng: Dont rush, use your remaining time outside first. In the next few days, go find Chi Yan, An Ning and her teammates, ask them to spy on ck Hats Misceneous Store. Remember, I only need them to keep their eyes on the ce and record ck Hats whereabouts. They dont need to care about anything else. As for their reimbursement, you take care of it.


    Okay. Wen Xiaoming replied neatly, then he asked: Do you want to spy on the stores in all zones?


    Jin Cheng: Look at those in Zone A and Zone E. Let Lily take care of the one in Zone A.


    After getting the order, Wen Xiaoming enthusiastically took his leave. Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo went straight to the central area and once again came to the not-so-authentic izakaya.


    The izakayas business was still as bad as before. There were no customers when the two opened the curtain and walked in. Thedy boss was smoking by the pond, her delicate lipstick stuck to the cigarette and her figure still as hot.


    She lowered her gaze and didnt seem to be in a good mood. As she caught a glimpse of the guestsing in, she didnt say hello. When Jin Cheng came closer and knocked on the table with a smile, she looked over.


    Hes not here. Her three words were simple and concise.


    Who is he? Jin Cheng asked with a smile.


    You already know, why are you asking? Thedy boss nced at him, flicked away the ash and said: I have nothing to do with the [Twelve Movements]. Youd better not bother me, otherwise, even if you two are handsome, this olddy will still kick you out.


    Jin Cheng shrugged and cast an innocent look at Tang Cuo.


    Tang Cuo said: Were not asking you about this. We just want to ask jiejie about one person  Lin Yandong.


    Thedy boss breathed out a puff of smoke and raised her fine eyebrows in surprise.


    Tang Cuo put on a faint smile: Jiejie, you know Lin Yandong, right? Lin Yandong said he couldnt leave Zone A and made a deal with us. We want to know what happened between him and Yong Ye City. Were afraid that he would trick us.


    Handsome xiao ge, youre really interesting. As thedy boss said this, she wanted to reach out to touch Tang Cuos face. His smile was charming and his smiling eyes were even more <em>captivating.</em>


    But the moment her hand was half-way there, Jin Cheng blocked her: Madam, why are you so nice to this one yet ignores me? Youve praised me so many times before, but youve never reached out your hand.


    Yeah right. Thedy boss patted Jin Chengs hand: You? You might as well be a monk.


    It wasnt like thedy boss hadnt teased him before; it was just that this heartless, dead straight man couldnt be moved at all. Thinking of this made her so angry, so she felt even more pleased when her eyesnded on Tang Cuo. <em>Look at this righteous, handsome face.</em>


    But Jin Chengs intention to protect his little bastard was too obvious. However, thedy boss wasnt bothered and just kept her eyes on Tang Cuo, her lips tugging into a graceful smile: I like it that you call me jiejie. A child who knows how to sweet-talk always receives his candies.
