Town History

Tang Wulin felt a surge of emotion after hearing Tang San's words. He had already experienced some of the power of the Golden Dragon Spear. Although he couldn't control it well due to his own limitations, he had to admit that the artifact had abilities that ordinary weapons couldn't match.

The room was silent for a while, until Lin Yuhan spoke again. "But you don't have to worry. According to the information I gathered, there have been no deaths here in the past fifteen years, even among those who came to explore. This place hasn't caused any harm to anyone."

They relaxed a bit when they heard that there was no danger, but then they heard a knock on the door. Lin Yuhan got up and opened it, and saw the hotel owner standing outside.

She was holding a tray with several small plates on it. The plates had some snacks that looked very delicate.

She smiled when she saw Lin Yuhan and said, "We're having a celebration soon. I made some snacks and thought I'd share them with you. I hope you don't mind."

Lin Yuhan felt a wave of uneasiness as he looked at her smiling face. He didn't think much of it when Anping mentioned it before, but now he felt something was off. He took the tray from her and thanked her.

She smiled and said, "I hope you have a good time here. If you need anything, just let me know. I'm usually at the front desk."

"Okay." Lin Yuhan didn't want to talk to her more, but she didn't seem to notice and left.

When Lin Yuhan closed the door and brought the tray inside, everyone knew that the owner had visited again.

They watched as Lin Yuhan put the tray on the table, and then Gu Yuena did something that shocked them. She picked up a snack and ate it. She said, "It's really delicious."

Tang Wulin scolded her, "How can you eat the food here without knowing anything about it?"

Xie Xie agreed, "Yeah, how can you eat the food here so casually? Who knows what they're made of? What if you hurt us all by yourself?"

Xu Xiaoyan snapped, "Didn't you do any research before you came here? There's nothing wrong with the food or anything else here. And did you see the trucks outside? They obviously brought the ingredients from outside."

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin were speechless. Xie Xie shut up, and Tang Wulin asked in his mind, "Old Tang, are these things really safe?"

He was a bit hungry after running around for so long, but he was too embarrassed to take any snacks after what he said.

Tang San chuckled and said, "They're safe. If this was our time, the common people wouldn't be able to afford these things."

"But you did the right thing. It's better to be careful before you're sure it's safe."

He pretended to be casual and rubbed his stomach. He said, "I'm a little hungry too. Do you have anything to eat? If not, I have some dried meat here that I can share with you."

He took out some pieces of dried meat from his storage soul guide and handed them to everyone. This was a habit of Tang Wulin. He always brought some food with him when he went out, so he wouldn't starve. The people from Shrek Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy didn't refuse.

Only Anping and his group declined Tang Wulin's offer. Xie Xie said angrily, "You guys are really stubborn. You don't eat safe food and insist on eating things from unknown sources."

Anping ignored Xie Xie. He also ate a snack and analyzed it. There was nothing wrong with the ingredients, but there was something else in it. It contained a concept.

Anping didn't know if the people who smiled every day were truly happy. He was curious about why the key created such a strange area.

He shook his head slightly and said, "These things are not important. We're here to explore, so we should at least walk around the town. Nana and I will ask the owner to show us around. Le Zhengyu and Xiaoyan will stay in the hotel to rest."

The others agreed, but they said the town was small and they didn't need a guide. So two students from each academy stayed behind, and the rest left the hotel.

The owner was very eager to be their guide. She agreed without hesitation. When Anping asked her about the hotel's security, she said the town had been the safest place for fifteen years.

They walked along the town's streets, and people greeted them warmly. The owner replied with ease. She told Anping and Gu Yuena about the town's history.

She said the town wasn't always called An'an Town. They changed the name because the mayor noticed that there were no crimes or violence in the town for a year. Even the former thugs had changed their ways.

The townspeople were scared at first, but most of them were poor and couldn't afford to move.

After a while, they realized nothing bad happened. The town was safer, and even the angry people became kinder.

The town's reputation spread to the neighboring areas, and more people moved in. The owner was one of them. She heard that the town was very peaceful, so she brought her daughter here.

The townspeople felt that their life was good. They didn't think of it as a change, but as a blessing from the gods. No one wanted to leave.

The town's oddity became known throughout the Star Luo Empire, and people came to investigate. But they found nothing.

Some explorers even stayed because they liked the town's life. The current mayor was one of them. He was also a powerful Soul Douluo master.

When they reached the town museum, Anping felt that the happiness concept was stronger here. He asked, "Can we go inside and look around? We're interested in historical things."

The owner shook her head slightly and said, "Not in the next few days. The museum director is busy with the celebration. If you really want to see it, you can wait until it's over. Our celebration is very fun."

Anping and Gu Yuena nodded and said they would join the celebration.
