The team formation did not take long.
After all the students had formed teams, Dong Chunsheng came in again to emphasize the lesson for the next day. At the same time, he made all the students sign a confidentiality agreement.
The shelter was still a secret that could not be made public, and it should not be casually spread out to ordinary people.
Of course, if it was not publicized by the official media, coupled with real evidence, most people would not believe it.
After signing the confidentiality agreement, today's second model would officially end.
It seemed that the real lessons would be held tomorrow.
'The system mission is to use the knowledge learned in the lessons to create a D grade mechanical tool. This mission would be impossible to complete today. I wonder if it will change after midnight,' Bai Yu thought to himself.
He had completed the previous missions on the same day, so after midnight, it would be refreshed on time.
Today's mission was a little more complicated.
He just did not know if he could complete it on the same day after accepting the mission. Should he keep it until the next day or refresh it directly?
Bai Yu suppressed his doubts and walked out of the school gate.
Qin Shou was already waiting outside with a flying car.
"Bai Yu, I've sent people to inquire about the things you wanted. I've got two admission tickets for tonight's trade fair at the Dead Dog Tavern in the Northern District. The trade fair held in the Northern District shouldn't be a formal one, right?"
"It should be. Would an elven banshee appear in a formal auction? Even if it's not against the law, they will still be shameless. Do you know how popular banshees are?"
Qin Shou showed an expression that all men understood.
Bai Yu nodded. He had instructed Qin Shou to collect medicinal herbs for the Apprentice Praying Technique.
Spirit water, platycodon flower, and tombstone powder were all easy to deal with. Although the moonlight pearl was relatively expensive, it could still be bought at a high price. Only the hair of the elven banshee and the tears of the young girl were unavailable.
These two items required a special collection.
The two of them boarded the flying car and began to drive towards the Northern District.
…
Strictly speaking, the elven banshee was also a subhuman race, but because of their race's genes, their race only had females, and they could bear children with humans. Their descendants were definitely elven banshees.
In addition, they did not have any obvious traces of subhumans, so they were classified as exotic beasts.
Of course, anyone with a brain would know that the elven banshees were classified as exotic beasts only to satisfy some people's desires.
Subhumans enjoyed the most basic human rights. They could not be bought or sold, and they were not slaves.
When it comes to exotic beasts… Killing them was not a problem.
Over the years, most elven banshees had hidden in the mountains and forests, hiding from humans. From time to time, they would still be captured for some underground trade fairs.
These elven banshees were the most sought-after commodities, and each of them could be sold for a sky-high price.
The flying car hovered past, passing through many tall buildings. The outline of the Northern District appeared in the bottom of one's eyes.
Chimney after chimney stood tall, spewing white smoke all day and night. The roar of machinery was the eternal background music of this place.
Houses were tightly packed together, children in shabby clothes, the humid air, and an environment that was obscured by smog. There were vagrants lying on the ground everywhere…
It was a clear difference from the Southern District.
A patrol officer stopped the flying car and checked the identities of the two before letting them in.
For the sake of public security, the Northern District had to register for entry and exit.
However, for the millions of people in the Northern District, this measure was not very effective. The order inside was very chaotic, which was caused by the high population density.
It was also very difficult to control and clean up messes that often occur.
As soon as the two of them entered the main road of the Northern District, there were people staring at them from the roadside. That kind of gaze... was like a wolf seeing a piece of fat meat.
"Stop the car. I think it'll be very difficult to drive in the following terrain."
Bai Yu observed the surroundings.
Although he rarely came to the Northern District, it was clear that after this main road was incomplete, there was a complicated living area behind it. There were all kinds of alleys, and it was difficult to move even an inch in such a vehicle.
The two of them got out of the car without hesitation and began to follow the map to the Dead Dog Tavern.
However, after a few steps, a few men in short shirts blocked the way.
"Outsiders? Each person needs to provide two thousand protection fees. In the Northern District, our White Shark Gang can take you around here," the one-eyed man in the lead said in a deep voice.
Anger flashed across Qin Shou's face.
Before he could flare up, Bai Yu had already taken out 4,000 coins and placed them in the other party's hands. "Bring us to the Dead Dog Tavern. Remember, I don't want any other accidents to happen along the way."
The one-eyed man was obviously stunned for a moment. He did not expect the other party to so easily agree.
"Come with me."
He put away the money and led the way with two of his underlings. With the help of the White Shark Gang, the gazes that were sizing them up gradually disappeared.
Only then did Qin Shou figure out the reason why Bai Yu paid so readily. 4,000 coins was not a lot for the two of them, but it could save them a lot of trouble.
With the locals leading the way, the two of them arrived at the tavern without any obstruction.
After the one-eyed man finished leading the way, he did not continue to pester them and left with his underlings in a free and easy manner.
"Boss, these two guys were obviously rich. Are we just going to leave like this?" One of the underlings asked on the way.
The one-eyed man glanced at the underling and said, "Qiang, you've been with me for three years. Do you know why the president asked me to be the person in charge of this area?
"It's because I use my brain and know how to read people's expressions.
"Although the two people just now were young, they did not show the slightest bit of fear in front of us when they drove the flying car in.
"They only paid for convenience, not for fear of us.
"Did you see the wrist guard on the right hand of that boy who was so handsome that it made people jealous?
"That's obviously a combat mechanical equipment. Once we use force, we definitely won't be able to last more than a minute under those two people.
"In the future, you need to pay attention to things like these!
"If a gangster doesn't use his brain… He'll be a gangster for the rest of his life."
Hearing his boss say this, the subordinate suddenly realized the true meaning behind all of it.
…
Bai Yu and Qin Shou walked into the Dead Dog Tavern.
The pub was about the size of a basketball court, and business seemed booming.
There were no empty seats in the pub. The smell of alcohol and sweat mixed in the air, coupled with the stench of all the men who had not bathed for dozens of days.
When they stepped in, Bai Yu roughly understood the meaning behind the tavern name — Dead Dog Tavern.
Even dogs smelled better than these men.
The pub was in a hubbub, with tables filled with boasting and drinking.
After a few people's eyes fell on the two of them and quickly left, the entry of strangers did not attract any attention.
The two of them found a table with the least number of people and sat down. They ordered two glasses of ale and quietly waited for time to pass.
Next to them was a middle-aged man with a thick beard and face who was drinking to drown his sorrows.
The auction started at 9 p.m. on the dot.
People with tickets were only allowed to enter the venue 15 minutes in advance.
Of course, this kind of underground auction had always been one set of rules on the surface, but in reality, it was for something else.
Not long after they sat down, a rough and burly man came to their table.
