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.
