Tande Town is a relatively remote town in the southern country. Because of its special geographical location, it has become a black transaction area. The local national forces colluded with various vendors, and it seems a bit ridiculous to talk about the law here. It is very similar to the scene in some gray areas in the movie. European colonists during World War I transformed the town into a region with a strong Western European style.

The group walked in this gray area as if they were on the 19th-century London Avenue. They were surrounded by apartments surrounded by iron fences, and green plants were planted on the land in front of the door. It was winter, and some flowers were still blooming very lushly.

Yellow-skinned people occupy the majority here, and besides these, whites and blacks are also everywhere here.

The pedestrians were wearing coats and black felt hats, pressing the brim of the hats very low, and walking quickly in the cold wind. Almost no one was walking, and everything revealed a tense atmosphere. All the street lights were yellow and it lighted up before the sky was completely dark.

After everyone settled down in an inconspicuous hotel, they came to the street.

After passing through the streets, they finally stopped at a bookstore.

"Is that just that?" Jinglian asked.

Yuan Jian looked around, nodded, and walked in with everyone.

This is the dark part set up by Gusuli in Tande Town, which is a bit similar to the existence of a branch. But it is different. The dark part is just a connection point set by the task center at the task execution site. Its functions are far less powerful than the division.

But at this moment, everyone can still feel a little warmth in this foreign country.

A middle-aged man sitting in front of the cashier in the bookstore was looking at a newspaper. His skin was slightly dark, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was a typical Malay race.

Gu Xiaobei glanced at his senior brother, and Jinglian also looked at him. Then they looked at Guan Zijin together. The eyes were clearly saying, "Go up and say hello!" You speak better in dialect.

But Guan Zijin was stunned for a moment, and then he secretly pointed at Teacher Yuanjian in a hurry.

They didn't expect Yeslanka to speak the local language. Although Yeslanka's Chinese is fluent, they felt her poor voice when they were studying on the road.

"Hey, are you selling betel nuts?" Teacher Yuan Jian walked up and asked in Chinese.

"Yes." The middle-aged uncle who was sitting reading the newspaper could speak Chinese, and it sounded nothing wrong.

"What does it taste like?" asked the middle-aged uncle.

"It's original." Yuan Jian took out his wallet. The RMB here is universal, but to be on the safe side, they exchanged some local currencies.

The three young men on the side hid in the corner and started discussing privately.

"Are they talking about any code?" Guan Zijin asked.

"What does betel nut mean? It may be a special symbol." Gu Xiaobei analyzed.

"The symbol of the college is the mountains and seas, and betel nut is a specialty at the beach." Jinglian said.

"Does betel nut symbolize the sea, the original flavor represents the essence, the locality, and the mountains, so when it is spelled, it means two words: mountains and sea?" Guanzi seemed to understand something.

The three of them looked at each other and nodded together.

Yeslanka did not participate. She browsed the comic books on the bookshelf. Most of them were traditional Chinese comics from Hong Kong and Taiwan. She could still understand them.

"Hey, why are you standing there? You haven't come in yet." Yuan Yan stuffed betel nut into her bag and lit a cigarette.

"Is the code correct?" Gu Xiaobei asked.

"What code?" Yuan Jian glanced at them with some wonder.

The middle-aged uncle opened the door of the bookstore storage room, and it turned out that there was an interior room larger than the outside.

The students sat on the sand and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The town of Tande was filled with cold colors, and the pedestrians exuded a nervous and serious atmosphere, which almost made people unable to relax. Only in the Anbu of Gusuli, they breathed a little relieved.

"The academy is so amazing. It actually has a stronghold here." Gu Xiaobei took the tea made by the uncle with thick eyebrows and big eyes and said thank you. The same was true for the rest of them.

"Actually, this is not considered a stronghold of the college. This gentleman has a deal with the college, so we can rest here for the time being," said Yuan Jian.

"I stayed in Comet City back then." The middle-aged uncle sat down and said.

"Have you lived here for a long time?" Guan Zijin asked.

"It's been more than ten years. I've grown up here since I was a child. After staying outside for a long time, I still want to return here. But I'm not from Tande Town, I'm from the town next door, but the store rents there are too expensive, so I came here at that time."

"Tander Town shouldn't be a very messy area? Are you not worried about danger here?"

"You have heard the rumors that this is the new black trading area, right?" the middle-aged uncle smiled.

Guan Zijin nodded.

"In fact, this is just a poor town. Every year, only the "Trade Fair" month will become lively. There is no economic value here, and the country's control over it is very loose. So those merchants will come here to trade. As for those "black transactions", I don't know much about them. But there must be, because I will close bookstores that month of the Fair, and people wearing suits and sunglasses can be seen walking around on the streets."

"Do you know that 'trade fair'?" Gu Xiaobei asked.

The middle-aged uncle shook his head and said

"I don't know the specifics, but the 'trade fair' will bring a lot of economic income to such towns. Almost all hotels and hotels will be full of people. The venues in the center of the town will hold many auctions, and the business in those restaurants will be more than the income of the whole year."

"So exaggerated?" Gu Xiaobei was a little surprised

"If there are outsiders, you will definitely raise prices wildly." Guan Zijin said.

"Then why do you want to close the store?" Jinglian asked suddenly.

"Am I? I'm afraid of those people. Although I have been in Comet City and met you god-like students, I am an ordinary person. I still can't deal with those executioners with guns. And I can't take that risk to make some money." The middle-aged uncle explained.

Everyone thought that this middle-aged uncle was very down-to-earth, and he was connected with the earthly spirit of China. If it weren't for the Malay appearance, no one would think he was a foreigner.

"By the way, what are you doing here? I probably know what Gusuli University does, but the matter here should have nothing to do with you."

The three young men didn't say anything, and Yeslanka couldn't speak. Yuan Jian laughed politely.

"Of course, if it's something else, we will definitely not care about it. The college only does what we should do," he said.

"So that's how it is." The middle-aged uncle nodded. "Anyway, it's almost time for the 'trade fair', so I'll be out of business during this period. You can treat this place as a resting place."

As he said that, he took out a bunch of keys and picked up the tube.

The sky gradually darkened, and after learning some local information from the middle-aged uncle, everyone left. Although the atmosphere on the street was a bit tense, it was still quite normal in those restaurants.

Because of some concerns, they finally chose a restaurant run by Chinese people.

It is a bit different from the exotic style I imagined. Gu Xiaobei felt that Tande Town was weird, as if everyone was a hidden character. Before leaving, Gu Xiaobei lamented that the college was so efficient in applying for a visa to get a passport, and he finally could go abroad to play, but now it seems that this trip has no intention of playing at all.

In addition to completing the task, he also needs to get the Unparalleled Sword of Heaven and Heaven. Fortunately, the prompt message for this B-level mission is a "trade fair", which is consistent with the place he is going to.

Otherwise, he really didn't know how to help everyone find it alone.

In such a place, without a local guide, he could hardly find the way to the venues in the town.

"How is it? How do you feel here?" Yuan Jian said a lot more than before. This is also because of the mood of these young people. He is the captain now, so he can't look like he can't wake up.

"What else can I do?" Guan Zijin spread his hands, then leaned weakly on the seat.

"I think it's dangerous here." Yeslanka said his true thoughts.

Gu Xiaobei didn't say anything, and his thoughts were still on how to find the unparalleled sword in the world.

"Let's take action separately, starting tomorrow. You three are in groups, and Girl Jin is in groups with me. You three need to find out the 'trade fair' and get tickets to enter the trade fair," said Teacher Yuan Jian.

"Okay" Jinglian expressed her agreement.
