Bai Jing, who was writing a report, didn't even look up at Xu Le.
"Is it because I asked you to ask? I guess you are so excited right now, thinking about how to eat the fruit, that you have no intention of saying this."
"Uh, yes, Teacher Gan asked me to ask."
Xu Le nodded honestly and admitted.
Bai Jing wrote the report in her hand and handed it to Xu Le.
"Let's see."
The content of the report is about this pioneer mission. Team 6 now faces two choices.
The first is to completely abandon the Area 53 mission and hand it over to the superiors or other teams for processing.
The second is to apply for support, because the task of Block 53-Baixia Town is no longer something their team can handle.
There are a lot of things written under this article, especially two of them, marked with red pen.
[The mayor who did not appear is definitely not something that an ordinary night watchman team can handle.]
[There are a large number of level 2 ghost species in the town, and it is necessary to stably restrain the long-range items of the ghost species. 】
From the content of this report, Xu Le already knew what Bai Jing was thinking.
She felt very strongly about continuing the mission.
But she didn't say it directly. Instead, she asked her own opinion. Wasn't this letting him take the blame...
But to be honest, this choice is a bit risky.
He has already seen the power of Guyinduo's awakened polluter.
A level 3 Gu Yinduo awakened and fought against a group of people. They tried their best to defeat each other.
This kind of weirdness scares the other person to death, so the mayor should be at least level 4.
"Captain, do you want to continue the mission?"
Bai Jing, who had always been calm and calm, now felt a little heavy and troubled.
"Our team has failed too many missions."
Only then did Xu Le remember what other teams had said about Team 6. Team 6 had failed too many missions this year.
If it continues to fail, it is very likely that it will be broken up and split up, or the leadership will be parachuted in and reorganized.
No matter what the situation is, it is not what the captain wants to see.
Once many people from Team 6 join other teams, the outcome is really hard to say.
Especially someone like Gu Beichen.
The Night Watchman has so many missions, it is not easy to deal with a thorn in his side.
"Captain, we don't have any information about the mayor's strength. Isn't the risk too high?"
"Yes, the risk is very high, so we need to get some soul-soothing equipment, especially those with long-range effects.
If there is progress in the equipment and props, I will apply for support from another team and combine them to complete the development mission.
If there is no progress during this period, then we will give up."
"I understand." Xu Le nodded.
"Okay, we still have 10 days, I will let everyone think of a solution to this matter.
Later, you, Gu Beichen, and Wang Shu will go to the black market in Area C and sell the moon stones you accumulated this time.
Take a walk around, long-distance and group tours are best, be considerate and don’t be afraid to spend money.”
Xu Le was stunned, knowing that this was probably the extra task Gan mentioned.
Should I buy soul-suppressing and spiritual-suppressing equipment and props? Long-range and group-based ones are the best. This requirement...
"I understand Captain, but why are the moonstones sold on the black market? Doesn't the Night Watch officially accept them?"
"Nonsense, of course the prices in the black market are relatively high, and there are usually some good things in the black market. You can do this yourself, it depends on your eyes."
"Then...what if someone takes advantage of you?"
Xu Le seemed to have too many questions.
Bai Jing picked up the cup on the table and threw it at Xu Le's head.
"You are a night watchman. You are afraid that others will take advantage of you. Can you be successful?"
Xu Le quickly took away the fruit, covered his head and ran out of the office.
"The Night Watchman is amazing? Really."
…
When Xu Le found Gu Beichen, Gu Beichen was bathing and changing clothes. As for Wang Shu... he was watching from outside.
Xu Le was a little confused. Is the relationship between the two really pure?
But this was not important. What shocked Xu Le even more was that Gu Beichen actually lit three incense sticks on the fruit and paid his respects.
"How can you achieve so many tricks just by eating a fruit?" Xu Le questioned.
"What do you know?"
Gu Beichen's expression condensed slightly when he saw half of the Elemental Electric Fruit in Xu Le's hand:
"Have you eaten already?"
"Well, this stuff tastes like shit with mustard on it, and the taste is amazing."
Xu Le said and took another bite.
In fact, the fluctuations in his body were not as calm as he appeared.
The surging ancient sound energy is wandering in his spiritual world, and this ancient sound energy surrounds the tree of soul.
Although the two have the same origin, they are not integrated with each other.
Xu Le tried to control this unstable energy while eating the fruit.
I hope it can be used honestly for my own use.
Gu Beichen on the opposite side curled his lips and stared at his fruit:
"You said it as if you had eaten shit, but the description you gave is similar to the words used by other people who have eaten the fruit."
After saying that, he took a deep breath and took a bite of the fruit.
He frowned and clenched his fists tightly.
He was a little shocked by how unpalatable it was.
However, the power within it also made his heart surge.
"Is this the power of Gu Yinduo, a power that is said to be more powerful than the red moon..."
Ice and frost gathered at Gu Beichen's fingertips. This was a completely different power from the flames of the red moon.
The ice flowers gradually solidified, and as the owner of the fruit, he also felt the fluctuations on Xu Le's body opposite him.
electricity!
Electricity also gathered at Xu Le's fingertips. Although neither he nor Gu Beichen spoke, they both felt the fighting spirit from each other's bodies.
The two of them pointed at the same time, and ice and electricity flew through each other.
Gu Beichen's legs and feet went numb and he held onto the wall.
Xu Le also had a stomachache and sat on the ground.
This power... is so small!
"Humph, I didn't use my full strength."
"Tch, me too."
Xu Le patted his butt and stood up, while Gu Beichen waved his hands and said nothing, pretending to be serious.
"Don't fight anymore."
Wang Shu spoke out to stop him at this time, but what he said... always reminded Xu Le of a certain rainy scene.
Xu Le shook his clothes:
"The captain asked us to take the moonstone and go to the black market in Area C to deal with it."
"What about fruit abilities? I'm not familiar with them yet."
"I've eaten everything, and I can't run. Let's go home and practice by yourself at night."
"OK."
"I don't have any problem either."
Gu Beichen took out a pair of sunglasses from the cabinet and put them on, and handed a pair to Wang Shu. Xu Le felt something was wrong, but didn't say anything.
After following Gu Beichen to the parking lot of the night watchman, Xu Le discovered what was wrong.
This guy actually has a steam locomotive.
However, Xu Le is still a little resistant to others taking him on a bicycle, especially three men in one car.
"Can't we take a tricycle?" Xu Le asked.
"Things like tricycles are not worthy of my status at all." Gu Beichen's arrogance came back again.
"But when I took Li Shunliu to dinner last time, I saw that you were very happy."
"He likes Li Shunliu." Wang Shu made a last-ditch attack.
Gu Beichen's expression did not change after being exposed:
"You are not a smooth man, so don't say such meaningless words. If you are a man, get in the car. But if you don't dare to get in the car, you can just say so. I can understand your timidity."
"Xingxing, you are a star! Just go up."
Xu Le got on the motorcycle, Gu Beichen rode the motorcycle, and Wang Shu was in the middle.
Because he didn't want to hug Wang Shu, he could only hold his body up and hold his back.
But in this way, the posture of the three of them becomes more awkward.
"Sit tight and let's walk!"
The steam locomotive is very fast and should be the fastest means of transportation that Xu Le has ever taken.
In less than 40 minutes, they had arrived at the boundary of Area C.
This place looks livelier than Area B, with shouting street vendors everywhere.
People walking had smiles on their faces.
Judging from their performance, the living standard in Area C should be pretty good.
However, because there are too many vendors, there are many guards on duty here, mainly to maintain traffic order.
Beep!
Seeing the speeding motorcycle, a guard stopped the three people's car.
Because the three of them were going to the black market, they were all wearing plain clothes and the guards didn't notice.
"There are so many people here. If you are riding like this, you are speeding and you will be fined."
Xu Le glanced at Gu Beichen. The perpetrator had lowered his head at this time. Three area B night watchmen were caught by guards in other areas. How embarrassing!
In order to avoid being fined, Xu Le could only quickly search the memory of the original owner.
After roughly understanding the way of speaking in Area C, I almost said:
"We are all from Area C. Big brother, just to show off, I forgot to bring them with me. My family is better at Doulu."
To be honest, Xu Le pretended to be very similar, but the guards didn’t accept this trick at all:
"Don't ignore me, you are not in Area C."
"Do you know that I am not in Area C?" Xu Le was still insisting.
"You have to admit it, wait until I stop someone from Area C to show you."
At this time, another motorcycle came speeding by. The guard quickly waved to stop the motorcycle, but the motorcycle showed no intention of stopping.
A sentence came from far away in the wind:
"You're a bastard! Come here and catch me!"
Xu Le and the other three looked at the car in shock. Area C, the folk customs are really simple!
The guard pointed at the speeding motorcycle in the distance and said:
"Did you see that? That one is from Area C. You three are so cowardly, and you look like you are from Area B."
Xu Le and Gu Beichen spread their hands helplessly, while Wang Shu took out his night watchman ID:
"Sorry, we are the night watchmen of Area B. We are here to investigate the case. Please let us go."
"Oh, I'm sorry, it turns out to be the Night Watchman, please excuse me."
Although the guard let him go, Xu Le always felt that he was snickering.
"Thank you then."
The locomotive restarted, and the guard looked at the backs of the two men and touched his chin.
“I’m afraid I don’t want to experience the nightlife in Area C in this direction!”
…
Gu Beichen took Xu Le to the black market in Area C, which is the largest underground trading place in the entire lighthouse.
It is said to be a black market, but its appearance is similar to that of a flower and bird market.
You can even see some places selling pets outside.
When passing by a pet store, Xu Le even took the time to pet a few cats.
"Let's go, we need to get the things out quickly."
"If you are so nervous, people will know the truth."
"I've said it, it's true." Wang Shu struck again.
Hearing what Xu Le said, Gu Beichen realized that he was too nervous. The way he hugged Yue Shi tightly looked a bit silly.
"I don't think we should hang out here."
But Xu Le asked:
"Okay, you want to sell the moonstone, right?"
"Yes."
"Do you know where to sell? Do you know how much to sell? Do you know where to sell without exposing your identity?"·
Facing Xu Le's three consecutive questions, Gu Beichen lowered his head.
"Um, I don't know."
Xu Le was a little curious. Gu Beichen's family was obviously so rich, but why did he always act like he had no brains?
In Beacon, shouldn’t wealthy families receive a good education?
However, he himself is a Level 2 Disaster Warlock at a young age, so it cannot be said that his education is very poor.
"You don't know this or that, but you are so rich. Why, does your family have a mine?"
"Do you know this? I haven't told anyone else, Xiaoshu, don't tell anyone else."
Gu Beichen looked at Xu Le with a shocked expression, and did not forget to warn Wang Shu.
Xu Le:……
Touching his nose silently, Xu Le also wondered why he could show Fan so naturally?
"Okay, now we need to understand the situation of the black market first.
The captain asked us to come here. In addition to selling moon stones, we also have other tasks."
"What mission?"
Xu Le did not answer directly, but turned around and looked at the two people:
"What will you do if Team 6 disbands one day?"
"Disbanded? How could Team 6 be disbanded?"
"We have failed three missions this year. Is it because of this?" Wang Shu was very sober.
Hearing Wang Shu's question, Gu Beichen's expression changed.
There were indeed three mission failures this year, and one of them failed because of him, and another failure was also related to him.
It can even be said that this mission on Block 53 has something to do with him.
"Could it be that... I am really the legendary disaster star?"
Xu Le waved his hand:
"You? Disaster? Not really. You are at best like the shit at the toilet door. You just look a little leaky."
"roll."
The three of them walked side by side while browsing the black market, which was like a flower and bird market. Xu Le saw many moon stones for sale at stalls.
He picked up a piece at random and asked the stall owner:
"How much is it?"
"The public price for high-quality moonstone is 100 per gram. If you want this 6 grams sincerely, just give me 580."
【Moonstone, 4.67 g】
The so-called high-quality products still contain a lot of red impurities.
There is no way it can be priced at 100 yuan per gram.
Xu Le didn't know whether these impurities were man-made or natural. He could only shake his head and continue walking.
"Hey, if you want it sincerely, I can give you a cheaper price, 570, 550?"
Gu Beichen pulled Xu Le:
"That guy is a lot cheaper. 6 grams only costs 550. I'm a little tempted."
"Are you sure it's 6 grams?"
"ah?"
Seeing Gu Beichen's surprised look, Xu Le shook his head, this guy is really naive.
"It should be a lot less, or there may be impurities."
Wang Shu added something, and Gu Beichen suddenly said angrily:
"He is deceiving consumers."
"Are you going to sue him?"
Gu Beichen fell silent.
Just like that, the three of them asked about the price while walking.
The price on the black market is said to be 100 yuan per gram, but in fact there are some impurities and defects.
Big stores are better, but stalls are far worse.
By this time, we had reached the end of the street, and another pet shop appeared like a flower and bird market.
Xu Le knew that he would have to leave if he left any longer. Gu Beichen couldn't help but ask:
"Is this the end?"
Xu Le didn't say anything. He felt that this black market shouldn't be so simple.
"It shouldn't be. A place like this should have a more central area."
"A more central area?"
"Forget it, let's ask someone."
"How to ask?"
"If you say this, this, and this again, that's all." Xu Le briefly explained in Gu Beichen's ear.
"Why did I say it and not you and Xiaoshu?"
Gu Beichen didn't understand.
"I'm afraid of life." Wang Shu's eyes wandered.
Xu Le explained with a serious face:
"Because you have more temperament. If Wang Shu and I were to say this, it would not be able to express your unique superior aura and it would not be effective."
Gu Beichen thought for a while and nodded seriously:
"That makes sense. You two are not as good as me in temperament."
Afterwards, Gu Beichen pushed Xu Le directly and said loudly with disdain:
"Don't be stupid, Xu Le, there is no real black market in places like Area C. Look at what these people are selling. Who are they?
It's okay to fool a novice, but if you really want to buy or sell something, you have to go to the Lighthouse Fair."
The slightly open mouth, the half-stretched chin, the disdainful eyes, and the annoying tone.
All that's left is "You're eating shit."
Well, some stall owners in the black market are already getting angry.
"Man from Area B, what are you talking about? We don't have any in Area C? Are you a stick man?"
"That's right, you silly district guy, go to Alley No. 13 and see what big goods are."
"It's really unlucky. I'm afraid you've never seen anything in the dark alleys in your life."
"Don't be angry, it's just a harpy, an ignorant thing."
Several people cursed at Gu Beichen, which made Gu Beichen's face turn green and red.
However, Xu Le showed his hands to him:
"You see, when you want an answer to a question, all you have to do is make a wrong point and you'll get the right answer."
Gu Beichen stared at Xu Le.
"You tricked me."
“This is called seeking the right direction, how can it be called a trap?
