The reason why the Noon Market is opened in the afternoon is because the danger level of the nearby restricted area is relatively low. Most of the creatures in the restricted area follow the habit of hiding in the day and coming out at night, and the probability of leaving the restricted area during the day is also relatively low.
Therefore, relatively speaking, the buffer zone during this time period is the safest.
According to Zhang Tao, the noon market first appeared three months ago, and no one knows the founder.
But it is very likely that it is one or more extraordinary beings. Although they have never appeared in the market, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the "tunnel" leading to the market is probably their work.
This plain is unusually empty. There is only green grass as far as the eye can see. There is almost no end in sight except green, which gives people a sense of vastness and comfort.
In the distance are taller green grasses, about one meter high.
The body is soft, and when the wind blows, it falls and ripples away, forming layers of waves, like a green ocean, wrapping the plains.
Even though it was not the first time he came here, Zhang Tao still couldn't hide the shock in his heart. Such fresh and natural beauty always has a strange magic power that makes people fascinated.
"If we live in a place like this, it will definitely be much better than in a gathering place."
Standing on the soft grass, feeling the refreshing wind, he couldn't help lowering his voice and sighing.
"That's not necessarily the case. If one day we encounter danger, we won't be able to find a place to hide in such an open place." Zhang Rouzhu said angrily.
"At least it looks comfortable,
It would be great to build a house here. There's actually nothing bad about the gathering place, it's just too gloomy.
It’s like a haunted house at night.”
Bai Mo was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "This place is not much better at night."
The brother and sister Zhang Tao were stunned. They both heard the playful meaning in Bai Mo's tone, and they didn't understand what the other party was referring to.
Isn't the market at night dangerous?
At this moment, a man in a cloak passing by seemed to have heard their conversation and said with a smile: "Why, do you want to live here? I advise you not to think about it. I heard that this place was planted by some powerful extraordinary people.
It’s impossible for outsiders like you to stay after we come out.”
His voice was very strange, as if he was speaking in a deliberately high voice and was a little distorted, but a few people didn't find it strange, because similar situations were not uncommon in the market, and could even be said to be everywhere.
This is for everyone's safety.
The Noon Market is quite famous near Wuji City. Naturally, it is not just ordinary people living in the buffer zone who are interested in it. I heard that sometimes even people from Wuji City come to trade.
This place is a mixed bag of extraordinary people and ordinary people. Although due to the rules, you can only use your mouth but not your hands in the market.
But it’s not necessarily the case outside.
Therefore, whether it is a cloak or a change of voice, it is to hide the identities of traders.
It is convenient for normal transactions, otherwise it is easy to encounter danger after going out.
You must know that today is different from the past. The expansion of the restricted area has caused a large number of strange things to appear in the buffer zone. Even ordinary people have the opportunity to obtain rare treasures. This leads to the possibility that everyone can hit the jackpot and make a lot of money.
No one wants to be robbed.
However, since many things produced in the restricted area are seen by people for the first time, the value of these things is naturally immeasurable. Therefore, trading here is more of a test of eyesight and psychological game ability.
Of course, there is also a little bit of luck.
In addition to those necessary daily necessities, people are more interested in seeing most of the products in the market. If they can’t afford to buy them, they can just take a look. Therefore, although many people do not buy or sell things, they still go there.
Come and join in the fun at the market.
This resulted in a large number of people arriving every time the market opened, making the vast plain seem a bit crowded.
Hearing the man's words, Zhang Tao also deliberately changed his voice and asked curiously: "Is it true or not, such a large piece of land was all planted by extraordinary people?"
"I also heard what others said."
The man paused for two seconds, pretending to be mysterious, and then said, "According to rumors, it is very likely that he is a supernatural being who can control plants. The branch tunnel we entered and the steps we walked up were all his handiwork."
"So awesome?" Zhang Tao was fascinated.
"Of course, don't think about it. In such a flat plain, all the grass grows exactly the same height. This obviously cannot grow naturally, right?"
Come to think of it, this plain has obvious traces of man-made modifications, and there are definitely managers behind it.
After the man finished speaking, he suddenly asked: "By the way, are you buyers or sellers? I have some good stuff, and the price is not expensive. Do you want to take a look?"
"Seller."
Zhang Rouzhu spoke before Zhang Tao, and then said, "We also have good things here, are you interested in taking a look?"
"Women...are you a couple?"
The man looked at the two of them and said, "Forget it, I just came here to sell because I couldn't open the pot at home. It's good to have a living, so how can I afford other people's things?"
He obviously heard that Zhang Rouzhu didn't mean to buy anything, so he didn't say much, smiled, shook his head, turned around and left.
The three of them saw him from a distance, and saw that he quickly found a few more people. After getting closer, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "I'm telling you, this plain was planted bit by bit by a certain plant-type extraordinary person...
"
That sneaky attitude was almost like that of a bad businessman standing on the roadside soliciting customers.
Zhang Rouzhu shook his head, turned to look at Bai Mo, and asked in a low voice: "Is what he said true?"
"What's true?"
She asked: "Didn't you also hear it? That guy said that this place was planted by an extraordinary person..."
Hearing this, Zhang Tao immediately pricked up his ears, wanting to hear Bai Mo's opinion.
It seems that in the eyes of the two of them, Bai Mo has become an omniscient being.
Bai Mo glanced at the girl strangely and said, "How do I know if this is true or not? Do you really think I know everything?"
However, seeing that the two of them were really curious, he didn't say anything. He thought for a moment and then said, "But this place is indeed extraordinary."
"What's unusual?" Zhang Rouzhu opened his eyes wide.
Bai Mo was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Everything."
"all?"
“Everything is extraordinary.”
Zhang Rouzhu's tone stiffened: "That's it?"
"That's it."
"Isn't this nonsense?"
"Yes, that's all I can see right now." Bai Mo said calmly.
"I can see that too..."
Bai Mo didn't say much, but changed the topic: "Don't waste time, take me to see how trading is done here."
Zhang Rouzhu was a little angry at his perfunctory attitude, but he still pointed to the distance and said: "Here, it's over there, the transaction has begun."
Bai Mo looked in the direction of her finger. Sure enough, there were a lot of people gathered there, and it looked quite lively.
The so-called transaction is actually quite simple, just like setting up a street stall. If you want to sell something, just pull a piece of cloth on the ground and put the goods on it. There is no threshold at all.
And no urban management officials will chase you away.
"I happen to be very interested in today's products, let's go and have a look together."
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Zhang Tao quickly pulled his sister beside him, and the three of them walked to the "trade area" over there.
It has to be said that the existence of the market seems to have allowed many people to regain the excitement and hustle and bustle they once had in the safe zone. This is also a rare moment of relaxation for everyone, which will make them temporarily forget their own situation.
As soon as the three of them walked over, they saw many people bargaining with the stall owners. They were as talkative as the aunts at the vegetable market. One after another raised the price to see who was more talkative.
Zhang Tao secretly told Bai Mo that this transaction process would only last three hours, and the market would close at six o'clock, and everyone must leave through the branch tunnel.
This time arrangement is quite reasonable, because if it is later, it will be the time when the creatures in the restricted area are active, and the danger will be greatly increased. No one wants to encounter those weird things just after leaving the market.
I could hear the noisy voices and crowded crowds.
Bai Mo walked leisurely among the stalls, looking at the dazzling array of "goods" on the stalls.
These products include energy bars, herbs, fruits, ores, charms, soil blocks, sculptures... and even swords, almost everything.
Among them, the most people stop in front of products such as sculptures and swords, because items like these that are obviously related to people are not simple at first sight, and the probability of them being rare is often higher.
Of course, as mentioned before, since many products appear in front of the world for the first time, people do not understand their efficacy and it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad. Therefore, there is no shortage of man-made weapon sculptures and other items in the market.
It looks strange, but in fact it is useless.
In every era, there is no shortage of people who cheat money to make a living. The more troubled the times, the more so, so you need to be careful and careful.
However, in this situation where most people do not understand the value of items in restricted areas, Bai Mo's knowledge will undoubtedly play a big role.
Even though he said before that he didn't know everything, Zhang Tao and his sister still had full confidence in him and thought that he could easily find good things. This was probably the purpose of his coming here.
However, in fact, Bai Mo has no interest in these so-called rare treasures at all. He just needs to find something relatively special to start his plan.
No one knows what he wants.
Finally, after inspecting half a circle, Bai Mo suddenly stopped and said to Zhang Tao, "Let's set up a stall too."
"Why don't you buy something first?" Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully.
"Do you have money?"
"Uh...no."
"Then what did you buy?"
These words were like a critical blow. Zhang Tao was immediately speechless. He quickly took out a piece of black cloth from his arms and spread it out. Then he put a small bottle and a few lighting stones on it and sat on the lawn to wait.
This is all his belongings and this product.
Compared to the eye-catching and exotic items on other stalls, the photo stone and such a small bottle are undoubtedly ordinary, so not many people pay attention to it, let alone anyone who buys it.
But no one was in a hurry. Zhang Tao looked around boredly and suddenly pointed in a direction and said: "By the way, how about we buy some warm candies?"
Eating warm candy will temporarily warm the body. This thing is very practical in many situations in the buffer zone, especially for those who need to mine in Hansheng Mine, so there is no worry about selling it.
go out.
However, before he had time to get up, he saw several men in black robes quietly walking to several stalls and buying almost all the warm candies in a short time. The whole process was quite secretive and did not attract anyone's attention.
Zhang Tao saw it clearly. These people obviously came together, but now they deliberately bought all the warm candies separately. It was obvious that they had some agenda...
"I'm afraid it's Wu Fan's people. That guy really had the idea of warm candy. I didn't expect to take action so quickly."
He reacted quickly and whispered.
A strange luminous stone appeared in the Hansheng Mine. Many people have seen this. The news must not be hidden. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, many people will go to explore in the future and encounter the cold light.
Danger of freezing.
Now no one knows that warm sugar can alleviate the effects of cold light, but I believe that when this news is made public, the price of warm sugar will definitely increase. Wu Fan is probably paying attention to this, and wants to eat this bite in one go
Benefit.
It is estimated that it won't be long before he takes the initiative to release the news.
Zhang Tao was still a little worried. Bai Wu had previously suspected that the Hansheng Mine was a place of sleep, and that it might be full of dangers. Although he had warned Wu Fan about the weirdness of the Hansheng Mine, the other party might not take this matter seriously.
Keep it in mind.
But if something really goes wrong, then the family should be alert later, so there is no need to worry too much...
Zhang Tao relaxed. The reason why he told Wu Fan the news was just to use him to pass the news on. As long as he could achieve his goal.
At this moment, Zhang Rouzhu said: "Is it because the things we sell are too shabby, so no one comes to look at them?"
She thought for a while and whispered, "How about we give a shout?"
"Don't worry, there will be no one if there is no one." Bai Mo said.
"It's only three hours in total. We can't sit here forever."
"If you feel bored, you can go around and I'll just watch from here."
"That won't work, let me do it. Brother Bai, you go and have a look." Zhang Tao said quickly.
"No."
Bai Mo shook his head, he was not interested in those things.
Zhang Tao hesitated for a moment and said: "Well, I plan to buy a few more charms, maybe they will be needed in the future."
Bai Mo glanced at him: "Where can I buy it?"
Talisman is an important branch of Taoism practice, which is all-encompassing and involves many fields. The Curse Pattern Master path developed by Xue Hongyu is based on Talisman Taoism.
The difference is that the talisman prints the curse pattern on the paper, while the curse pattern prints it on the person's body.
The talisman is indeed very useful, but Bai Mo knows very well that the talisman Zhang Tao used before is not real. He does not know how to distinguish the true and false talismans, so he was deceived.
"It's over there, a fixed stall recommended by a friend of mine, saying that the charms here are very useful, and it's true, otherwise we would have been in danger the night before yesterday." Zhang Tao said with lingering fear.
Bai Mo sighed silently, thinking that this guy was too slow, and he still didn't know why he was alive.
