Chapter 1: The Auction
Zhou Feiyu was lying on the ground like a dead man, unable to move, and in the haze he felt that someone had lifted him. Then he lost consciousness completely.
I don't know how long it took, Zhou Feiyu finally came to his senses, and the clothes on his body had been changed, and according to the color and material analysis, it should be "cloth" clothes.
In order to find out the current situation, I decided to call Yuyin out first to take a closer look at the situation.
"Rain Sound"
“······”
There was no previous response, but instead a countdown appeared in the field of vision, and the countdown was impressively displayed: the restart time was 2 hours, 34 minutes, and 25 seconds.
"Yuyin's emergency restart time is 30 hours, which means that I was in a coma for nearly 28 hours······ However, it is not ruled out that it will enter the reboot mode again after restarting. ”
Thinking of this, Zhou Feiyu supported his body and began to look around.
He was kept in an iron cage covered with a black cloth that seemed to prevent those inside from seeing what was going on outside.
Zhou Feiyu wanted to analyze some valuable information, but he had not eaten more than a drop of water for a day, which led to low blood sugar, making Zhou Feiyu's head dizzy, and he could only make the most basic judgment.
"I don't know what the situation is, don't use your ability rashly to avoid being mistaken for a hostile performance, strange, this shouldn't be the Blue Star, iron products were eliminated a long time ago, I should have arrived at another unknown civilization now because of the multi-dimensional entrance, according to the artificials here, it can be determined that the level of this civilization is very low, if there is a way to contact the ······ of the home planet."
When Zhou Feiyu was still making his own little calculations, the curtain was suddenly lifted, and the sudden bright light made Zhou Feiyu extremely uncomfortable, covering his eyes in pain, and it took a long time to gradually adapt to the surrounding light.
After seeing the surrounding scene clearly and understanding it, Zhou Feiyu was completely stunned, his eyes were straight, his pretty face was gray with fright, his lips trembled, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't make any sound in his mouth.
It's a theater-like building, and you're on the stage of a theater, and the audience is full of "audiences." On the stage, a female host stood in the center, the female host was dressed in a blue low-cut dress, with a plump and round figure, an oval white face, eyebrow-length bangs, and a gold-inlaid mallet in her hand.
Isn't that the standard configuration of the auction? Iron cage, auction. I have become a prisoner before I know it!
Zhou Feiyu took a deep breath and silently recited his motto.
"'When it loses its mind, reason must intervene. 'The most important thing for a scientist is to be rational, objective, analyze everything, and not let emotions control themselves, which is no different from a wild man. There are no absolutes in the world, as long as they can be understood, it means that they are artificial. And if it is artificial, then there must be loopholes, and if there are loopholes, there is a turnaround. = Thinking of this, Zhou Feiyu's mentality has finally stabilized.
"Welcome, I'm Hetty, the chief auctioneer. ”
The audience applauded, as if to welcome the official opening of the auction.
"I'm glad that you can come to cheer this time, I believe that all of you here have been waiting for a long time, so soon we will start bidding, oh yes, friendly reminder, I'm not for sale~"
The appropriate humor caused the corners of the audience's mouths to rise wildly. But here's the problem.
“······” Zhou Feiyu looked confused again, he couldn't understand, what should I do? But after thinking about it, it is true that this is not the civilization he is in, and the language barrier is a normal thing, but it is estimated that there should be nothing good for a while, it is better to deduce the language logic here first, and at the same time collect intelligence is the most important.
"So, let's officially start, first of all, the first auction item, a noble boy from nowhere, all the ladies must be very interested, but what about the origin of this young man, I must remind the ladies. ”
Some of the "audience" who were ready to quote couldn't help but wonder when they heard this.
Hetty began to talk about the information about Zhou Feiyu.
"First of all, the boy's clothes were not the ones we wore when we caught him, and we brought his clothes with us. ”
Hetty beckoned, and a staff member brought up the clothes from the backstage, which was Zhou Feiyu's test suit, although the clothes became tattered, but Zhou Feiyu still easily recognized them.
Another staff member brought a log and a knife at the same time.
"Many guests think that a ragged dress is worth explaining, everyone knows that our venue bodyguards are on average second-level professionals, and we have hired magicians, mechanics, soldiers, quasi-knights and warriors to work together to destroy this dress, but this cannot cause even the slightest damage to this dress. You may think what I said is fanciful, so we have prepared a high-quality sharp knife here to compare. ”
As he spoke, Hetty picked up the log and the long knife in the hands of the staff, put the log on the ground, and pulled out the knife himself, looking at it very casually. The log was also very cooperative, and the response was broken in two.
Hetty then took the clothes from the staff, picked them up and fastened them to a shelf, and with the same force, slashed them down.
Something strange happened, the knife was so sharp that it should have left a cut in the garment, but the lab coat was unscathed.
"We guess that this child is involved a lot, and it is very likely to attract high-level professionals, so buyers who want to buy should pay attention to it, and the matters to pay attention to have been said, then the auction will start, there is no starting price, and the price increase will not be less than 20,000 menz each time. ”
There was still silence at the scene, no one quoted, why didn't anyone quote? The answer is, no.
You know, in this civilization, professionals are much stronger than ordinary people, and in this world, there is a kind of person called "professional".
They can absorb "Mana" to enhance themselves, there is Mana in every living being, but there are still many people who can perceive and absorb Mana, but those who can use Mana to exercise and cultivate themselves only account for half of the total population, and those who have the talent for cultivation are the core of the major forces.
Because even if it is a level 0 professional, the apprentice level is not just a professional who has touched the path of cultivation, and it is no problem to knock down 3-4 people of the same body type as himself! Not to mention that he is still a second-level professional!
But the clothes that even second-level professionals can't hurt are torn and tattered?
The one who did it was definitely a senior professional above level 5, so the people present were upside down and felt that they couldn't eat, so no one would offer.
In the cage, Zhou Feiyu began his own reasoning.
"Just now, if the last sentence of the hostess was written down in Roman pronunciation, it felt like 'ĉiuprezopliigasnemalpliolDumilMenz.' and there was a sentence before that, Du, where the pronunciation of Dumil is together, and the meaning of this word may be changed if it is added with a suffix. This is most likely an auction house, and the most common word that comes up when it comes to an auction house is probably a number of words. But I'm probably going to be sold, and it's not enough to understand that two words are numbers. It is difficult to deduce the logic of this civilized language just by listening to these few sentences, and if someone can communicate directly with me, I can analyze the logic even if it is a few sentences. ”
"Is there anyone willing to bid? If no one is willing to bid, the auction will be lost. ”
Just kidding, no one would trade their lives for a momentary pleasure.
"Is there really no one buying? Okay······ Since no one is willing to bid, it is a pity that this item can only be auctioned. ”
Then Zhou Feiyun was carried down by several bodyguards, and the auction ended in a fiery atmosphere after more than two hours, and Hetty also went backstage. The venue was completely closed when the auction was held, so Zhou Feiyun had not yet been transported to the "cargo area".
Hetty dragged his tired body back to the backstage, at this time the staff went to eat, anyway, Zhou Feiyun couldn't run out of the iron cage, and at this time Hetty just entered the backstage. And what Zhou Feiyu is waiting for is this opportunity.
“Fratino,Fratino。 (Sister, Sister)
As soon as Hetty sat down, she heard someone call her, even though she was still calling her sister, she was long past the age of being called a sister, but she looked young because of good maintenance, which couldn't help but make her a little happy. When I turned around, I found that it was the No. 1 auction item just now, and I was disappointed, so I shook my face and showed it to Zhou Feiyu.
“Dankon,Fratino。 (Thank you, sister)
Hetty turned her head and frowned, "Thank you for what?"
Zhou Feiyu raised his eyebrows, secretly happy in his heart.
“Nekomprenas,Lingvo。 (I don't understand, language)
Hetty put on a puzzled look
"You don't speak Continental? So how do you communicate with me? There is a limit to making up nonsense, anyway, I don't want to help you, if I help you I will be unlucky. ”
"Minemensogis, Viestas Instruumin" (I'm not lying, you're teaching me)
"Look at what you said is so unskilled, jumping words here one by one, it seems that you really haven't learned it, but how can a noble child not learn the world continental? And what do you say I'm teaching you?"
Hetty looked even more puzzled, this nobleman of unknown origin had not even learned Continental, so it was a strange thing to think about it.
"Literally, I can't tell you where I came from. Sister, just now I could only listen to what you said on stage to reason about some grammatical constructs, but your conversation with me allowed me to complete the underlying logic theory of language, but this is only one of the things I want to thank you for. ”
Hetty was startled and stood up.
"Hell, you didn't know how to do it just now, you've learned it now? I've never seen anyone learn a language so quickly, and you're really pretending to be garlic. But well, if it's true, it's no wonder that high-level professionals are involved, and I'm afraid that your learning ability will spare no effort to cultivate it in any force, so what is the other thing you have to thank me for. ”
Hetty quickly calmed down, because she was still lucky enough to meet one or two of those big family geniuses, but as for where to see them, imagine for yourself.
"I don't know if that's right, but for some reason, you've shown me how special my clothes are, and you've made other buyers fear my presence behind me, but it seems a little unreasonable that I was the first auction item, so some people must have secretly made a deal with your boss to sell me to him for a high price, right, but it's better than selling to those people, isn't it?"
Zhou Feiyu didn't look scared at all, and calmly analyzed the techniques used by Hetty at the auction.
And in the whole paragraph, no one hesitates a little, and even makes people feel that this is not a rhetorical question but a declarative sentence.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Hetty's mouth and said, "Little ghost, you are very smart, but if you have already been sold, then why would you still be allowed to go to the booth?"
"Quite simply, the invitation letter sent by the auction should have a record of the items to be auctioned, and after the invitation was issued, your boss made a secret deal with the current buyer, but for the sake of your credibility, my clothes just happened to be the perfect shield. ”
Zhou Feiyu explained the reason very easily, which made Hetty's face a little unbearable.
"Tsk, this little ghost, so shrewd. ”
"Little ghost, you are very smart, but you know so many secrets, you are not afraid that I will be unfavorable to you for the sake of the Chamber of Commerce?"
Hetty said in a threatening voice.
"Big sister, this is impossible, I should say that you don't dare, I heard in the background that the price of the items you auctioned should be extremely high, it should be a very famous auction, and the management of the auction can pull down the face and trade in the dark, I'm afraid it's not a good stubble.
"And if you don't treat me badly, your boss and the buyer won't be able to spare you, I think on the contrary, not only will you not be unfavorable to me, but you should also let you meet certain requirements of me, right. ”
"Alas, are the children of these days so shrewd? ”
Hetty also has a lot of social experience no matter how he says, and the city government still has this, so he simply admits that the province is wasteful.
"Sister, can you listen to my request now? ”
"Kick your nose in the face. ”
"Sister, I need food and my clothes. I've not eaten for over 30 hours and in another 6 hours I'll be severely dehydrated and die, and my clothes ······ I really need that dress. ”
"It's okay to eat, I'm afraid the dress won't, but I can tell you that your buyer will buy your clothes with you. ”
"That's okay, I need to replenish my strength more now, and my sister doesn't want me to die of thirst because of lack of water before I have delivered the goods. ”
"That's for sure. ”
As he spoke, he brought over a glass of water and drank a piece of bread, as the saying goes, when you are hungry, chaff is like honey. Zhou Feiyu immediately put bread in cold water and started eating. Five minutes ended the battle. With food in my stomach, I felt the power slowly flow through my body. Indescribably comfortable.
"Sister, I want to ask, why am I being auctioned?"
Hetty thought for a while, and seemed to be considering whether he could answer this question, and after thinking about it, he seemed to answer Zhou Feiyu's question without a problem.
"You didn't have a chance to lie innocently in a slave camp, and of course you were put up for auction, and the slave dealer thought you were just a broken nobleman. Then again, what's your name. ”
"Zhou Feiyu, but I've fallen to this step, and my name doesn't seem to matter. ”
"Yes, then Zhou Feiyu's little brother, good luck, I don't know where your buyer came from, but, as far as I know, that buyer seems to be a professional, so you can ask for more blessings." ”
With that, Hetty got up and left the storage area.
"Oh, a professional?"
Zhou Feiyu looked at Hetty's back and said silently.
A blue spark flashed on Zhou Feiyu's fingertips.
