Lin Xun surveyed the remaining stalls in the marketplace, just as the special fishmonger had described.
Although the fish and shrimp sold at the remaining stalls had the same names as the rare species, the product descriptions were vague and equivocal, they did not explicitly describe that they could enhance attributes after use.
If one hadn't seen the real rare species, they might be deceived by these inferior counterfeit goods due to carelessness.
What's even worse, the marked price of these counterfeit goods was much higher than the original rare species, it was downright outrageous.
[You, following the location given by the 'special fishmonger', delve deeper into the 'fish market'...]
[After bypassing several dilapidated stalls, you step into a dark, secluded alley.]
[At the end of the alley is a rundown shop with an old sign reading 'Dark Market Warehouse'.]
[Under the sign hangs a smaller one: 'Civilians and Ninja Dogs are not allowed!']
