Excellence Little Tiger and Transcendence Dream looked like those hot-blooded youths with no money but a burning desire to start a business.

  Transcendence Dream realized belatedly.

  Only then did he realize that his good brother had sold him out!

  His first reaction was, of course, the same as Excellence Little Tiger's initial one, expressing his dissatisfaction.

  "If you want us to join you, fine!"

  "But you have to show us some skills that can convince us, right? Otherwise, why should we listen to your commands?"

  Transcendence Dream gave Lu Ming a once-over, full of disdain: "Just because you're a level 22 Trickster?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Excellence Little Tiger elbowed Transcendence Dream.

  "Bro, he's really strong! Trust me!"

  Transcendence Dream: "I don't believe you at all! You always trick me! Get lost!"

  Excellence Little Tiger: "Alright!"

  At this moment, Qin Churan spoke up: "Then let's decide the outcome with a ring PK, how about it?"

  Transcendence Dream shook his head and said, "A mere ring match, win or lose, means nothing."

  "Being able to get things done is what proves strength!"

  Transcendence Dream said to Qin Churan, "I have a friend named Ding Yue, who used to be part of my Transcendence Studio, but recently got poached by the [Blaze] Squad."

  "If you can help me get Ding Yue back from the Blaze Squad, I'll bring the entire studio to join you permanently, how about that?"

  As soon as Transcendence Dream finished speaking.

  Lu Ming suddenly said, "Ding Yue is your girlfriend, right?"

  Transcendence Dream's face immediately turned red.

  "Never mind who she is, just say whether you dare to take this on or not!"

  "Deal!" Qin Churan said without hesitation, "Arrange a meeting with them."

  Transcendence Dream checked the time and said, "Not now, Ding Yue usually takes a nap around this time."

  "Then tonight, I'll let you know the exact location once it's confirmed!"

  Alright, alright!

  Another simp confirmed without a doubt!

  After exchanging WeChat contacts, Transcendence Dream and Excellence Little Tiger each left with their studio players.

  Lu Ming knew that Qin Churan's goal in recruiting people was to build a team ranked in the top 100 of the national server within three years, to fulfill her promise to her brother Qin Feng, thereby breaking off her engagement with the Wang family.

  This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

  But at the same time, Lu Ming was a bit puzzled.

  "Your family is so rich, why not just use some money to recruit whoever you want?"

  "My brother has frozen all my cards." Although it was a heavy matter, Qin Churan spoke with a sense of relief.

  "You see, to stop me from building a national server team, he even arranged these actors around me!"

  Following Qin Churan's gaze, Lu Ming looked at the players from the Godslayer Squad who had just sparred with her.

  Those people immediately felt so embarrassed they wished they could disappear...

  It turned out, Qin Churan had seen through everything long ago.

  Yet she was powerless and had no means to act.

  At this moment, Qin Churan opened a search page, looking at the description of the [Blaze] Squad, and said, "Actually, the Blaze he just mentioned is also on my list for recruitment."

  "Blaze was just established a year ago and currently has a scale of a hundred people. If we can recruit them, we can stabilize our foundation!"

  Seeing the hopeful look in Qin Churan's eyes.

  Lu Ming said, "I'll help you."

  Qin Churan looked at Lu Ming, a touch of emotion in her eyes.

  "Great! Don't worry, I won't treat you poorly!"

  "When my team is established in the future, I'll make you the vice-captain!"

  Lu Ming smiled without saying a word.

  In his mind, his revenge plan was becoming clearer.

  "In today's world, major families and squads stand in opposition."

  "No matter how strong I am alone, I won't be able to withstand the enemy's massive forces in the later stages."

  Relying solely on the Undead Legion is far from enough.

  After all, at this growth rate, even if Lu Ming reaches level 100, he can only summon a few thousand undead.

  Compared to those squads with tens or hundreds of thousands of people, it's insignificant.

  Therefore, from the moment he was reborn, Lu Ming had already thought of creating a force of his own!

  However, Lu Ming had no power or influence, and starting from scratch with such a grassroots identity would inevitably attract suppression from other high-level forces, and the squad might be wiped out before it even formed.

  So, for Lu Ming, this was an excellent opportunity!

  "After all, Qin Churan is the sister of the captain of the seventh-ranked Godslayer Squad in the national server, and with that status, no one dares to touch her."

  "Supporting Qin Churan, helping her establish and build a top 100 national server team, and forming a completely opposing stance with Qin Feng."

  "Then, using Qin Churan's hand to eliminate Qin Feng, completing the revenge plan, and if necessary, I can take control of this squad from Qin Churan at any time!"

  Thus, killing two birds with one stone!

  Therefore, he not only wanted to help Qin Churan build a team.

  But also to make this team strong and formidable!

  Thinking of this, a sharp glint appeared in Lu Ming's eyes.

  He then said to Qin Churan, "When Transcendence contacts you tonight, let me know."

  Qin Churan nodded, "Okay."

  After parting ways with Qin Churan, Lu Ming continued to lead Lin Youwei to the black market.

  About twenty minutes later, the two entered an ancient forest.

  Sunlight filtered through the towering trees, casting a serene glow in the forest.

  As they ventured deeper into the woods, they saw a massive vortex-shaped white light screen, about seven or eight meters high, blooming in the forest.

  On either side of the light screen, dozens of fully armed elite NPC soldiers, level 50, stood ready with long spears in hand!

  This was the entrance to the black market!

  At this moment, many players were arriving from all directions, entering the black market with the purpose of shopping.

  According to the Sky Abyss world's background setting.

  The black market was established by the Human Alliance.

  Its purpose was to gather treasures from all over, allowing human strongmen to acquire treasures according to their needs, enhancing their strength to better combat monsters.

  Therefore, the so-called black market is essentially a large auction market.

  Based on levels, the black market can be divided into four areas: primary black market, intermediate black market, advanced black market, and supreme VIP black market.

  Before entering the black market, players must go through a capital verification stage.

  Those holding less than 10 Silver Coins are only allowed to enter the primary black market;

  Those holding more than 1 Gold Coin can enter the intermediate black market;

  Those holding more than 10 Gold Coins can enter the advanced black market;

  Those holding more than 100 Gold Coins can enter the supreme VIP black market!

  These four different levels of the black market all follow the same rule: a new item is refreshed every ten minutes, available for players to bid on.

  Whether or not the item is successfully auctioned, it will be replaced with the next item after ten minutes.

  Each refreshed item is random.

  However, the higher the level of the black market, the higher the chance of refreshing high-value items!

  Lu Ming opened his backpack to check and found he currently had 11 Gold, 35 Silver, and 48 Copper.

  "Just right, I can check out the advanced black market."

  For Lu Ming, being able to enter the advanced black market was enough.

  After all, the 100 Gold Coin entry requirement for the supreme VIP black market translates to two million RMB!

  That's a playground for the rich.

  Not a place for someone like Lu Ming, who is in debt.

  So, after passing the capital verification, Lu Ming received an [Advanced Black Market Pass] (with this pass, you can freely enter and exit the primary, intermediate, and advanced black markets and participate in the corresponding market's item auctions).

  He also gave Lin Youwei 1 Gold Coin, allowing her to receive an [Intermediate Black Market Pass].

  Then, he led Lin Youwei through the white light screen leading to the black market.

  With a swish!

  Their vision shifted, and they found themselves in a vast market.

  Around a massive auction stage, countless players filled the audience seats.

  There were hardly any empty seats.

  The scene was bustling with excitement!

  [Ding~ Welcome to the Primary Black Market!]

  At this moment, a new round of items was beginning to be auctioned.

  On the auction stage, an NPC girl in a white dress, as fresh and ethereal as a fairy in a painting, was hosting with a microphone, calling out loudly:

  "Let's wait and see, what will today's 102nd item be?"

  "The answer is revealed! The next item is a level 28 Black Iron Equipment [Bloodthirsty Blade], starting bid at 30 Copper Coins! Each bid must not be less than 5 Copper Coins!"

  "This round of bidding starts now!"
