Su Yuan was quite curious about his current strength.
Now, he was nearly equivalent to a 'Non-Human'.
His internal organs, flesh, tendons, and bones were significantly stronger than those of ordinary humans.
With this strength, where would he Rank in this prosperous Demon City?
Su Yuan looked expectantly at the gray mirror.
Buzz ~ The surface of the gray mirror blurred and surged, and soon, characters appeared.
[Strength Rank 1428]
"There are still 1,427 people stronger than me?" Su Yuan wasn't too surprised.
Demon City has tens of millions of people and is one of the most prosperous cities globally, hiding countless experts.
Su Yuan was already satisfied, having risen from his original ranking of over twenty million to just over a thousand after only one session of Cultivation.
"What level of powerhouse do I currently equate to in the Xia Kingdom Cultivation World?" Su Yuan continued to ask.
Cultivators and Superhumans exist in the various nations of Blue Star.
Su Yuan had already learned this by questioning the gray mirror.
For example, the strongest person in the Xia Kingdom is a Level 4 Lifeform, and the strongest globally is also a Level 4 Lifeform.
[Dark Force Major Achievement Level]
The gray mirror provided the answer.
"Dark Force Major Achievement?" Su Yuan understood instantly.
The Cultivation System of the Xia Kingdom Cultivation World is sequentially divided into—Bright Force, Dark Force, Transforming Force, Core-Condensing...
Dark Force powerhouses can already hold sway over a region, and unless faced with firearms, they can easily fight ten or even a hundred enemies.
As for Transforming Force? They are even known as Grandmasters.
And Core-Condensing powerhouses... in another designation given by the gray mirror, they are referred to as Level 1 Lifeforms.
Core-Condensing practitioners have flawless Qi and blood and Perfected minds; in ancient Xia Kingdom, they would be considered Immortals, treated with respect even by the Emperor.
"If I complete fifteen sessions of Cultivation and transform into a Level 1 Lifeform, what Rank would I achieve in Demon City?" Su Yuan pondered for a moment before asking.
For him, becoming a Level 1 Lifeform was merely a matter of time, requiring fifteen sessions of Cultivation.
The surface of the gray mirror blurred and gave the answer again.
[Rank 7]
Seeing the gray mirror's reply, Su Yuan's spirit lifted... Next.
Su Yuan rested for an hour.
Having consumed so much Ganoderma and Ginseng in a short period, even if it was fully absorbed under Acupuncture stimulation, he still needed good rest and recuperation.
This was why the Cultivation plan provided by the gray mirror restricted Su Yuan to only one Cultivation session per day.
The human body has limits, and Cultivating once a day was Su Yuan's limit.
If he exceeded this limit, Su Yuan's body would collapse from the inside out... Two hours later.
Su Yuan left the Jinshan Villa District and returned to his school dormitory.
He used two large suitcases to pack all the rare treasures he had collected over the past few days and brought them back to Villa No. 66.
These treasures were worth over thirty million, so Su Yuan naturally wanted to keep them close.
When he carried the two suitcases back to the Jinshan Villa District, several security guards wanted to help.
But Su Yuan refused.
It wasn't that he was worried about the treasures inside the suitcases being discovered.
Rather, they were too heavy, and the security guards might not be able to lift them.
Setting aside everything else, the box of Gold Bars Su Yuan retrieved from the bottom of the Pujiang River weighed nearly a hundred Jin.
The remaining jade, statues, and antiques were also heavy, with each suitcase averaging nearly two hundred Jin.
Only Su Yuan, having undergone a complete transformation, could comfortably carry one in each hand... Inside Villa No. 66.
Su Yuan opened the two suitcases, looked at the many treasures, and fell into contemplation.
"I still need to convert these treasures into cash quickly,"
Su Yuan thought.
There was no rush for the Gold Bars; gold is hard currency in any era and can be cashed in anytime, or even used directly for transactions.
But other treasures, such as jade and antiques, require professional appraisal before they can be converted to cash, which is cumbersome.
Therefore, Su Yuan planned to exchange them for money early.
His Cultivation speed was too fast, and he needed too many Cultivation resources for the next fourteen days.
"To convert so many treasures into cash quickly, I can only go through Demon City's Underground Black Market," Su Yuan thought to himself.
The so-called Underground Black Market is where prohibited items or items of unknown origin are traded.
Although the treasures Su Yuan obtained were not stolen goods, there were many of them, and going through the Black Market was the fastest and simplest way.
"Underground Black Market..." Su Yuan looked at the gray mirror and began asking for information about Demon City's Underground Black Market... Half a day later.
Su Yuan walked out of the villa district carrying a suitcase.
He then took a bus to a bustling street.
Demon City's Underground Black Market is extremely secretive; only billionaires worth over a hundred million can reach the entry threshold.
Of course, that was just the threshold; whether one could actually enter still required an introduction from an insider.
Su Yuan placed the suitcase in Locker No. 56, Zone C of the nearby mall, then walked out and stopped at the entrance of a milk tea shop.
Not far from the milk tea shop was an ordinary-looking Pawn Shop. Compared to the bustling crowds around it, this Pawn Shop was slightly quiet, with few people entering or exiting.
But Su Yuan knew that this Pawn Shop was one of the entrances to Demon City's Underground Black Market.
Su Yuan came here not intending to enter the Underground Black Market himself, but rather to have the Black Market Person-in-charge help him handle the batch of treasures.
Thinking of this, Su Yuan suddenly stepped back.
"Oh dear..." A soft body bumped into him.
Su Yuan turned around and saw a young girl clutching her forehead.
"I apologize." Su Yuan said apologetically.
"Be careful next time." The girl's forehead was red, clearly caused by bumping into Su Yuan.
But seeing Su Yuan immediately apologize with a sincere attitude, she felt embarrassed to say anything more, only giving him a glare before walking into the nearby milk tea shop.
Su Yuan's expression was calm. After the girl entered, he flipped his right hand, and a pink cell phone appeared.
This pink cell phone naturally belonged to the girl, and Su Yuan had temporarily borrowed it.
Picking up the phone, the lock screen lit up. Skillfully entering the lock screen password, Su Yuan successfully accessed the phone's operating interface.
He then directly dialed the landline number of the Pawn Shop not far away...
Inside the Pawn Shop.
Two people were sitting behind the counter, a young man and a middle-aged man in his fifties.
This Pawn Shop used the pawn business as a front on the surface, but it was actually one of the entrances to Demon City's Underground Black Market.
And the middle-aged man in his fifties was one of the Underground Black Market's Persons-in-charge, specifically tasked with verifying the identities of the many members entering the Black Market.
Not the members' real-world identities, but their status within the Underground Black Market.
Every member of the Underground Black Market has their own Member Serial Number, which is used to determine their membership status and Rank.
The higher one's spending in the Underground Black Market, the higher their Member Rank. Ordinary billionaires who just joined were only the most common Black Market Members.
Truly high-Rank Black Market Members must be received cautiously even by a Person-in-charge like the middle-aged man, as the power they wield is enough to shake the very Foundation of the Underground Black Market's existence.
"Uncle Sun, that person just now was also a member of ours, what Rank of member is he?" The young man was a little bored and couldn't help but look toward Uncle Sun, the middle-aged man sitting next to him.
"Is a member's identity something you can inquire about?" Uncle Sun, the middle-aged man, frowned and reprimanded him.
"Yes, yes, yes." The young man immediately knew he was wrong.
In reality, he judged in his heart that the person's Member Rank shouldn't be high.
Because Uncle Sun, the middle-aged man, hadn't changed his expression from beginning to end, hadn't even looked, and had left the entire reception to him.
Just then.
Ding-a-ling — The landline phone on the counter suddenly rang.
Seeing this, the young man immediately reached out to answer.
"Hello." The young man didn't say much, waiting for the person on the other end of the line to speak.
"I'm looking for Old Six Sun." A deep voice, whose gender could not be distinguished, sounded.
"Old Six Sun?" The young man was slightly stunned.
He quickly realized that Old Six Sun here must refer to Uncle Sun.
"Uncle Sun." The young man immediately looked at the middle-aged man, picked up a pen, and wrote the characters 'Looking for Old Six Sun' on a piece of paper.
"Hmm?" Uncle Sun, the middle-aged man's pupils constricted slightly.
Many people knew his surname was Sun, but to call him Old Six Sun...
Uncle Sun, the middle-aged man, grew slightly solemn and immediately stood up to take the call.
"Hello," Uncle Sun, the middle-aged man, said seriously.
"I have a batch of things. Help me handle them," the deep voice on the other end of the line said calmly.
"No problem." Uncle Sun, the middle-aged man, nodded, then tentatively asked, "May I know your Member Number, sir?"
"SED2384..." The deep voice reported a sequence of numbers and letters combined into a code.
Uncle Sun, the middle-aged man, was initially calm, but as the Member Number became more complete, the respect on his face grew heavier, and he even began to bow while taking the call.
The young man next to him widened his eyes.
