Li Xiaofang... slender waist and ample bosom.
Tian Xin... youthful face and ample bosom...
As he looked through them one by one, it became clear that none of the women here were unattractive. Each one could easily be considered a campus beauty. What was even more enticing was that each had her own unique charm.
The men, on the other hand, were rather ordinary. Aside from a few handsome and dashing ones, most were robust, with descriptions highlighting their hardworking nature, loyalty, and honesty.
Those with special skills were mostly carpenters, blacksmiths, tilers, and so on, and they were quite affordable; the cheapest could be exchanged for just twenty Zombie Crystal s.
After scanning the tags, Zheng Yifan decided not to look at the men any longer. Even if there were some among them that he needed, it wouldn’t be indicated on the tags.
Only the women sought to enhance their value; they even detailed their post-apocalyptic identities to attract men with particular preferences.
After all, in this apocalyptic world, only the most aggressive men could acquire wealth to fill their stomachs. And women were an indispensable part of their lives. These individuals fought tooth and nail without knowing when their lives might end, returning to the Gathering Place to squander whatever they had obtained.
Women were naturally the highest-end luxury goods. The quality of women provided in the various entertainment venues of the inner city was far superior to those found in the Human Market of the outer city.
However, despite this abundance, Zheng Yifan found himself overwhelmed. He could only lower his head to read through the introductions.
The descriptions were detailed, yet none contained what Zheng Yifan truly needed. He was looking for one or several high-tech talents who had made some achievements in the field of computers.
Such individuals could create the most value for him in modern society. As for directly exchanging for gold or jade ornaments, that was a last resort—dangerous and difficult to liquidate. Even if he managed to sell them, there was no guarantee he could keep those assets.
The high-tech industry was different; with a layer of protection like that, any wealth acquired would naturally be legitimate income—everything reasonable and lawful—saving him from many explanations.
Unfortunately, after searching extensively, the best he found were merely ordinary office workers or wealthy young ladies.
It wasn't until Zheng Yifan grew increasingly frustrated during his browsing that he learned from a trafficker why things were this way.
It turned out that those beautiful women who possessed some management skills had long been taken as concubines by members of the City Guard.
With these individuals helping manage their households, life was naturally much more comfortable. When they went out to raid for food or search for supplies, they could do so with greater peace of mind.
Having grown accustomed to a life of luxury and comfort, these women cherished their lifestyles even more and worked diligently to assist their masters or men.
Hearing this, Zheng Yifan shook his head helplessly, his plans wavering in his mind, as if he were about to exchange gold and silver for a return to the modern world at any moment. Although those items would be troublesome to sell and could lead to endless troubles, they were practically worthless in this apocalyptic world and could be exchanged for a lot.
Just then, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Brother, I've been keeping an eye on you. You're looking for a particularly beautiful and capable woman to manage your household, right?"
"It's hard to find such a woman in the outer city; they are usually sold directly to the Inner City Human Market. If you want to find a capable woman in the outer city, there's only one way." It was still that voice, and when Zheng Yifan turned around, he saw A Hair with a mole on his face.
"Yes, I do want a woman to manage my household; beauty doesn't matter much. The most important thing is that she can run the house well, and it would be best if she has some skills in computers," Zheng Yifan said, forcing a look that everyone could understand. "That's what I'm after."
Seeing that look, A Hair immediately perked up. "Brother, if that's what you're looking for, you can only find it in the Inner City Human Market. In the outer city, you can only find women who have come out from the Inner City Tail Auction."
"Oh? Tail Auction? Where is it held? I don't usually come back here, so I'm not very familiar with the Human Market. Could you show me the way?" Zheng Yifan said as he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to A Hair.
"You're too polite," A Hair replied without hesitation, stuffing the cigarette into his pocket before leading Zheng Yifan toward the center of the Human Market.
There used to be a statue in the middle of the park known as the Bee Collector, but now that stone statue, which represented something unknown, had long been smashed to pieces and piled up in the surrounding grass. The thirty or so square meters of base beneath it had been turned into a cage with wire mesh.
And this was where the Tail Auction was held.
The Tail Auction was established to clear out slaves that had not been sold in the Inner City; its purpose was to move goods, so prices were naturally not too high. Over time, it became a good place for people from the outer city to pick up bargains.
Here, there might be some beauties that the big shots from the Inner City looked down upon, or perhaps a few real men who dared to fight against zombies.
Of course, such possibilities were quite low. Those who dared to fight zombies often set their own prices in hopes of exchanging them for scarce resources for their families.
Most of the time, what they wanted were strange items that no one could fulfill.
When Zheng Yifan arrived, the auction had already started or was nearing its end. The space was small; most people sat on the ground while the organizers occupied just one corner with a large curtain set up as a tent.
This also added an air of mystery and kept customers eagerly anticipating the next item.
Upon arriving here, Zheng Yifan even felt an illusion as if he had returned to modern times, watching old men playing three-stringed instruments and blowing suonas while singing Henan opera in a pavilion.
Unfortunately, this place was far more brutal than modern society.
Zheng Yifan was about to witness something truly remarkable.
At that moment, a woman stood in the iron cage, wearing nothing but a bra. She had a charming expression and a slender figure, particularly her long legs, which were delicate and fair. Based on Zheng Yifan's extensive experience, they appeared to be at least four inches long. According to the introduction on the large screen, this woman was a model, quite well-known, though she had never been particularly discreet.
"The current price is three thousand Zombie Crystal s. Is there anyone willing to bid? This is a top-tier model, Xiu Xiu, who played the lead role of Qianwen in the TV drama Happy Nightlife. Her performance was exquisite and captivating. You can take her home and indulge in role-playing for just three thousand Zombie Crystal s. This price is impossible to find in the inner city—aren't you tempted?"
"Three... two... one... Alright, the price has now dropped to two thousand five hundred Zombie Crystal s. Is there anyone who wants to take this beauty home? Standing at 1.78 meters tall with four-inch long legs, it's only two thousand five hundred Zombie Crystal s! We're about to reach the bottom line—don't miss out!"
"Okay, now the price has hit rock bottom! Just two thousand Zombie Crystal s..."
A middle-aged man in a suit with a beard was continuously stirring the emotions of the participants while lowering the price. Finally, when it fell to one thousand five hundred Zombie Crystal s, an excited fellow with a face full of acne bought her.
The handover process was simple: after delivering the Zombie Crystal s, the Auction Organizer would bring the woman before him and hand her over personally, returning any personal items stored with them.
These individuals had undergone rigorous training and were unlikely to escape. If such an event occurred, the organizers would provide some compensation and put out a bounty on the runaway slave throughout the Gathering Place. If caught, they would face brutal punishment and all losses would be compensated.
It was because of these guarantees that the Human Market thrived.
