A month passed in a flash, and soon, it was the day of the auction.

That afternoon, Chen Xin was studying the information of the No. 7 Dark Market sent by the steel hammer in the study, when the door suddenly slammed.

"Please come in!"

Chen Xin said lightly.

Kafra pushed the door in, bowed slightly, and said, "Mr. Chen, Po, the liaison officer of the Dark Market, is here, saying that on the order of the Administrative Committee of the Dark Market, you are invited to participate in the auction held in Falling Star City. ”

"Oh, let Po wait, I'll go right over. ”

"Yes!"

Five minutes later, Chen Xin came to the living room and saw Bao sitting on the sofa with a golden knife, his fat figure squeaking on the sofa, and he was gnawing wildly on the oolong bamboo shoots that Cavfra had prepared for him on the plate.

The Panda civilization is a well-known foodie race in the galaxy, and the eating habits of pandas on Earth are very similar, eating bamboo or bamboo shoots.

In addition to working and sleeping, more than 80% of their lives are spent on eating.

But it is amazing that such a race with cute attributes has developed into a top civilization in the galaxy in less than 10 million years.

Seeing Chen Xin, Ah Bao put down the bamboo shoots, wiped the bamboo shoots from the corners of his mouth, went up and hugged Chen Xin: "Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to see you again." ”

"Mr. Bao, I'm glad to see you again!"

Chen Xin has never had close contact with a national treasure on Earth, who would have thought that thousands of light years away from the Earth, but instead experienced the enthusiasm of the panda people.

Ah Bao grinned and said, "Mr. Chen, in six hours, it will be the day of this year's Falling Star City auction, and I have been ordered to pick you up and go to Falling Star City." ”

Chen Xin smiled slightly: "It's an honor." ”

The two exchanged a few words, and Chen Xin, Kafra, and Po boarded the space shuttle parked at the gate of the manor, and the shuttle slowly started and went to the spaceport in the synchronous orbit of Dongchen Star.

There, a sub-light spaceship has been waiting for a long time.

……

Just when Chen Xin's spaceship set sail, in a planet full of strange colors not far from Dongchen Star, the elf princess Leah stood on the platform of the ancient castle on the top of the mountain, looking at the rivers and mountains in the distance stupidly.

Her face is still beautiful and exquisite, and more than forty years of time seem to have left no trace on her body, only those piercing eyes are a little more sad than before.

"Senior, where are you now?"

Leah muttered to herself, bits and pieces of getting along with Chen Xin flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but sigh softly.

At this time, a handsome-looking maid quietly came to the balcony of the ancient castle, bowed slightly to the beautiful figure in front of her, and said, "Your Highness, someone has come to the dark market. ”

Leah's eyes fluttered, and the trace of longing and sadness on her face quickly dissipated, and she turned back into the wise and decisive Princess Lyra.

The auction of Falling Star City attracted the participation of hundreds of carbon-based and silicon-based civilizations in Orion Cantilever and Perseus Cantilever.

Although Chen Xin had already pointed out the direction for the Tianqin civilization to be promoted to a sixth-level civilization, now, at the border between the Human Civilization Alliance led by the Tianqin civilization and the carbon-based life alliance Chen Bing, Tianqin is facing great pressure.

If the Lyra civilization can advance to the sixth level civilization at a critical moment, it will greatly improve the survival situation of the humanoid civilization in the galaxy.

Therefore, when they heard that the Dark Star Domain Star Map had appeared, the Lyra civilization immediately sent a delegation to participate in this auction.

Leah even volunteered to go to the Dark Market as the head of the delegation of the Lyra civilization.

Of course, in private, Leah also had the intention of meeting Chen Xin.

It's a pity that when they passed by the Flame Galaxy, they learned from Vader that Chen Xin had left the Flame Galaxy the year before them.

In addition to being disappointed, Leah also had to restrain her mood and follow the messenger sent by the Dark Market to Falling Star City.

……

After Chen Xin arrived at the spaceship, he waited for more than an hour, and all the people from Dongchen Star to participate in the auction arrived.

Chen Xin roughly estimated that there were less than a hundred people in Dongchen Star who were eligible to participate in this auction, and there were only a dozen humanoid civilizations, including the elf-like Tianqin clan, the dwarf-like Faren clan, and the ordinary human race who were no different from Chen Xin.

The rest are all of them of all kinds of appearances, some have horns on their heads and limbs on all fours, some are covered with scales on their faces and their faces, and some are covered with various mucus similar to octopuses......

Fortunately, Chen Xin saw the diversity of intelligent civilizations in the universe through the images transmitted by the steel hammer during this time, and did not show too much surprise.

Although all are invited to participate in this auction, but

As for those few human-like civilized people, they didn't mean to greet each other at all, and Chen Xin was naturally happy and pure.

The spaceship begins, heading to Falling Star City, seven astronomical units away.

Three hours later, a brilliant space city with a diameter of thousands of kilometers appeared in front of Chen Xin's eyes.

Under the dark starry sky, the space city is like a crystal sapphire, shining brightly.

Falling Star City is not one of the more than 160 habitable planets in the Dark Market, it is suspended in space, located on the Lagrange point of the yellow and red dwarfs, it is a real space city.

When the Dark Market was just beginning to be established, Falling Star City was a temporary residence for the major intelligent races.

Later, as the Dark Market Seven gradually grew and more industrial and habited planets relocated, the importance of Falling Star City gradually decreased.

Today, Falling Star City no longer has any industrial or economic significance, and has gradually become the political and administrative center of the Dark Market Seven, which is inhabited by more than 200 races, nearly a billion people, and manages the trillions of floating people and huge resource transactions in the Dark Market Seven.

One of the most eye-catching is the once-in-a-decade Falling Star City auction.

In the Dark Market Seven and even within thousands of light years in the vicinity, the Falling Star City auction has a high reputation.

Every time there is an auction in Falling Star City, countless treasures will appear, and this is a super event for a civilization that has the ability to rush to the Dark Market No. 7.

Of course, this time the Falling Star City auction is very different from previous years.

The appearance of the Star Map of the Death Star Domain attracted the attention of countless civilizations near the No. 7 Dark Market, and all the fourth-level civilizations and fifth-level civilizations that had the ability to come over sent people to participate in this auction.

Even some powerful civilizations far away in the Silver Heart have sent their agents in the Dark Market in an attempt to get a piece of the pie.
