When the two were silently observing each other, the spotlight suddenly fell, and although Tao Bao didn't feel dazzling, she still reacted quickly and raised her hand to block her eyes like an ordinary person.

It was such a detail that the man in front of her had a hint of contempt in his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became a little bigger.

He stepped forward to turn off the glare spotlight for her, and also raised his hand to block it.

The blonde beauty on the stage held the microphone and laughed: "This gentleman looks very considerate, but everyone else has already started dancing, and there is not much time left, you guys should start quickly!"

Kojiro Bonai raised his hand and made an OK gesture, and the spotlight left the two of them.

"Madam, I don't know if there's an honor to dance with you?" he bent down slightly, stretched out his hand in front of Tao Bao, and his movements were very standard.

Tao Bao bowed his head and put his hand on it.

Accompanied by gentle music, the two walked slowly at a specific pace.

Tao Bao paid attention to Gong Ming's side, and at the same time probed the man in front of him up and down.

However, he didn't know that he was like being unclothed in the eyes of others, and he still despised it in his heart, and pretended to be a gentleman spying on his face.

"Beautiful lady, I don't know your name yet. ”

Tao Bao smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry sir, what did you say?" I didn't hear too clearly. ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Woonei Kojiro's face, he knew that his Chinese was not very good, but Tao Bao pointed it out directly like this, he still felt very sad.

"It's nothing, ma'am, why did you come to this ball?" said Kojiro Bonai word by word, his eyes fixed on Tao Bao, and it was very likely that if she said that she didn't understand again, she would stop talking.

Tao Bao really pretended not to understand, and once again showed an apologetic embarrassed smile, tilting his head slightly, "Ah? I'm sorry, maybe the music is too loud, I still haven't heard it clearly, can you repeat it again?"

Her eyes were so sincere, and her expression was so real, Kojiro Takeuchi wanted to have a seizure, but he endured it, smiled at her, shook his head, and stopped talking.

He tilted his head slightly, and Tao Bao could catch a glimpse of him rolling his eyes.

Compared to that woman, this person is too far behind, and he really can't hold his breath.

The two stopped talking, and Tao Bao's divine sense had been paying attention to the situation on Gong Ming's side, and he was about to collapse when he was questioned by that woman, and he felt quite funny.

But soon the dance time was over, and the woman didn't get too many useful things, and when others weren't paying attention, there was still a hint of annoyance in her eyes.

"Okay guys, please follow our waiter to the next door, the show is about to begin!"

Listening to the host's words, Tao Bao let go of Kojiro Takeuchi, smiled at him, and staggered his steps towards Gong Ming.

Gong Ming also happened to come over, the two glanced at each other, smiled at each other, held hands in tacit understanding, and moved to the next door with the current.

Next door is a large room, lined with rows of seats, each with a numbered plate, apparently for the auction.

Everyone's seats had been arranged in advance, and under the leadership of the waiter, Tao Bao and Gong Ming sat in the middle of the third row.

Four people came one after another, sitting on both sides of Tao Bao, and there were two positions between each group, so that everyone would not be too rusty and at the same time, they could retain their personal privacy.

When we got here, after sitting down, everyone basically stopped talking and waited silently for the opening.

At 8:20, the last group of people in the room were seated, and the door was closed. A man and a woman walked from the backstage to the auction table in front.

In the auction, the process is similar, and the highest bidder wins.

After the host finished the scene, he began to go straight to the point. The first few items are famous paintings and antiques, and some people bid for them, but the scene is very harmonious, everyone is humble to each other, and there is no smell of gunpowder at all.

Even the whole field seemed a little deserted.

This situation is completely expected, even if it is deserted, no one leaves halfway, Tao Bao knows, they are all waiting for something, and it is only temporary that it is not lively now.

As the minutes passed, auction items were brought up and taken away, until the host walked up to the stage with a heavy lockbox, and the originally stagnant auction hall began to ripple.

No one spoke, and their eyes hadn't left the lockbox since it appeared.

The door opened, and ten heavily armed security guards escorted an old man dressed very ordinarily and walked in, Tao Bao could feel it, and the atmosphere boiled at this moment.

Looking sideways at Gong Ming beside him, he also looked at the old man with burning eyes, and even his breathing became a little short.

Tao Bao raised an eyebrow and set his eyes on the old man.

He walked on the stage, the host immediately came to help, the old man raised his hand in high spirits, walked up by himself, and refused the host's courtesy.

There is no nonsense, the people who came tonight are all running for that lockbox, and the old man obviously knows this, so he directly raised his hand and signaled the host to start.

The moderator nodded, crouched down to open the lockbox, and took out a black box.

This box is not simple, the size of a palm, but there are countless mechanisms on it, if it weren't for the old man on the scene, the host wouldn't dare to take it.

Because once he touches the mechanism above, the defenses arranged in the entire venue can kill him, the kind that is completely limb.

The host carefully took out the box and slowly put it on the auction table.

After putting away the things, the tips of his forehead and nose were all covered with sweat, and he hurriedly wiped them, and asked the old man to open the box.

The old man stepped forward with a smile and opened the intricately designed box, and a red gem the size of a pigeon's egg appeared in front of everyone.

At this moment, everyone gasped in unison, and took a few deep breaths before they could continue to sit calmly.

The scene was too quiet, and Gong Ming wanted to tell Tao Bao the information of the old man, but he didn't find a chance to speak.

Tao Bao sensed his nervousness, turned around and smiled at him, and then continued to observe the ruby.

It is said that it is a ruby, but in fact it is just a likeness, and the similarity reaches 90% of the fakes, and those who do not know the goods may really think of it as rubies.

The oddity of this gem is not its appearance, but its material, and the little bit of liquid that is placed inside the gemstone.

She didn't know exactly what ingredient Tao Bao hadn't learned about biochemistry, but she thought it was a bit similar to the ability development potion.

However, the potion inside the ruby is obviously still an unfinished product, the liquid is active, uncontrollable, and it is still a very dangerous thing if it is not used well.

But on the other hand, it has a high research value, and once you get your hands on it, it will be easy to study the relevant aspects.

Tao Bao was actually quite surprised, she didn't expect that before she knew it, this kind of thing had been researched in advance.

Sure enough, the wisdom of human beings should not be underestimated.
