Among the bustling crowd, Tang Yuan and Lin Xingwan followed the flow of people and wandered aimlessly among the many vendors.
Flea markets first appeared in Paris in the 18th century.
During that period, many poor people could not afford new things, so they would bring useless things from home to the market in the hope of exchanging them for the items they needed.
Over time, the flea market has been passed down, and now it has become a special retail trading market in the Western world. Most of the items sold are relatively cheap small commodities.
At present, in this largest flea market in Los Angeles, many of the items sold by the vendors are mostly retro items with American pop culture symbols, such as lunch boxes of rock bands from the 1960s, Hollywood movie props from the 1970s, and Barbie dolls. Camper vans and more.
Tang Yuan was basically indifferent to these things, but Lin Xingwan, on the other hand, had a special liking for these things. She could always find what she wanted in those dazzling stalls.
While wandering around, time flies by.
Before I knew it, the sun had completely set.
As darkness fell, the Rose Bowl Flea Market, instead of looking bleak, became more lively, with many vendors taking out the lamps they had prepared in advance.
Looking around, there are little sparks.
The two of them walked around and soon reached the center of the flea market.
At this time, a band was singing here, and there were many people gathered around. The atmosphere looked very good.
"Stand here and wait for me to get off!"
Tang Yuan and Lin Xingwan stood watching for a while. Lin Xingwan didn't know what she saw. She said something to Tang Yuan and hurriedly ran somewhere.
Just when Tang Yuan was confused, Lin Xingwan quickly left and returned. She was carrying two bottles of cold beer in her hands. She took one bottle, then handed the other bottle to Tang Yuan, and said with a bright smile: "Listen to music, how can you do it without wine."
"Drinking again?"
"Can you do it?"
Tang Yuan looked at Lin Xingwan, his expression slightly suspicious.
"One bottle is fine!"
"I drank too much the night before yesterday!"
Facing Tang Yuan's suspicious gaze, Lin Xingwan blushed slightly and defended in a low voice.
"Alright alright."
"Then you can control how much you drink."
"I really don't want to hear you tell me any more stories about how the dinosaurs became extinct."
Tang Yuan wanted to finish these words seriously, but at the end of the sentence, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
"Hey!"
"Don't say it!"
When Lin Xingwan heard this, his face instantly turned red, and he couldn't help but get angry.
"Hahaha……"
"No more, no more."
Tang Yuan teased appropriately, then smiled and waved his hand, and lightly touched Lin Xingwan with the beer bottle in his hand.
The two talked and laughed, listened to music, and drank beer, feeling quite comfortable.
"It's almost eight o'clock."
"It's almost time. Let me take you back to the hotel. Don't you have to catch an early flight tomorrow?"
After finishing a bottle of beer, Tang Yuan turned around and said to Lin Xingwan.
"It's really time to go back. I've been just hanging out for the past two days and I haven't packed my luggage yet."
Lin Xingwan looked at Tang Yuan's handsome face. Although she was a little reluctant to separate, she knew that it was indeed time to say goodbye.
Tang Yuan nodded slightly, then said nothing more, turned around and planned to walk towards the exit of the Rose Bowl Flea Market. However, just when Tang Yuan's foot had just been raised and before it fell, a sudden voice came from his mind, But it made Tang Yuan's pupils suddenly shrink.
[Task Name: The Beginning of the Tao]
[Task level: 5 stars]
[Grade requirements: peerless grade]
[Task time limit: 30 days]
[Task reward: 2 billion U.S. dollars, 1 million collection value, Tianmu Dojo construction drawings, Tianmu Dojo special fund 2 billion RMB]
[Task Tip: Clues have been distributed to the system backpack]
…
As several system virtual prompt boxes appeared in front of his eyes, Tang Yuan felt inexplicably unreal.
How do you say that?
The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but suddenly looking back, there was that person, in a dimly lit place!
At this moment, Tang Yuan felt that his state of mind perfectly matched this sentence.
Some time ago, Tang Yuan visited the antique streets and antique markets in Hangzhou and Zhonghai in order to trigger the five-star mission, but the system was stunned and there was no response. But now he just casually visited the flea market with Lin Xingwan. It can actually trigger a five-star mission.
From this point of view, the triggering mechanism of this five-star mission is really weird and unpredictable.
"Tang Yuan?"
"What’s wrong with you?"
Lin Xingwan looked at Tang Yuan who was suddenly stunned on the spot, as if he was distracted. She stretched out her white and tender little hand and waved it in front of Tang Yuan's eyes, and asked with a slightly confused expression.
"fine."
"Let's go."
The surprise came so suddenly, Tang Yuan suppressed the turbulence in his heart, smiled at Lin Xingwan, and then walked towards the exit of the Rose Bowl Flea Market.
Lin Xingwan felt that Tang Yuan suddenly became a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange, so she could only follow Tang Yuan and walk out step by step.
At this moment, Tang Yuan was not in the mood to care about Lin Xingwan's thoughts, because his mind was already focused on this five-star mission that suddenly appeared. Since he had just completed a five-star mission some time ago, he quickly A simple comparison was made between these two five-star missions.
First of all, they are both five-star missions, but the two five-star missions have slightly different mission time limits. The last five-star mission, Daming Fenghua, had a mission time limit of only 7 days, while the current five-star mission, Dao Beginning of the Road, has a mission time limit of only 7 days. The time limit is 30 days.
The task time limit seems to be longer, but it is not necessarily a good thing, because it probably means that the difficulty of this five-star task is much higher than the difficulty of the previous five-star task, so the system will give longer time. For Tang Yuan to complete.
Secondly, for the previous five-star mission Daming Fenghua, the system clearly gave the mission scope, but for the current five-star mission Da Ming Dao Beginning, the system did not mention the mission scope at all.
It can be seen that this shows that this five-star mission is not limited to a certain place, and its scope is likely to be relatively wide.
"The beginning of the Tao?"
"Is this five-star mission related to Taoism?"
Tang Yuan thought about it secretly based on the name of the task.
Based on past experience, the names of five-star missions are most likely not given casually. For example, the five-star mission Daming Fenghua that Tang Yuan has completed, and the twenty-four seals of the Ming Dynasty that he finally carved out in the stone tablet, in a sense Say, that is the inheritance and continuation of the Ming Dynasty.
Now, based on the name Daozhishi, Tang Yuan infers that this five-star mission is related to Taoism. This is by no means a random guess, but Tang Yuan really can't think of what inheritance Taoism has to be recognized by the system as a peerless person. class.
As one wishes?
Seal?
Magic sword?
Various thoughts flashed through Tang Yuan's mind, and until he took Lin Xingwan out of the Rose Bowl Flea Market, he still couldn't come up with anything...
