Chapter 44: Game City
"Oh." Su has never had any specific sense of time arrangement, and he generally follows Xu Yao wherever he runs.
The place where the Lin brothers are going today is the digital market, Xu Yao doesn't know what they are buying when they suddenly go there, but he is quite interested in going and seeing.
The local digital market is well-known throughout the province, not only because of its size and variety, but more importantly, because of the sometimes big auctions. The items auctioned are all limited editions, either the latest or the old ones that are barely to be found. I don't know where the boss of the market got such a wide network of contacts.
"You're only here today because there's an auction, right?" As soon as he got out of the car, he saw that there were horizontal bars at the gate of the market, Xu Yao took a look, most of them were advertising for auctions.
"Hmm." Sue got out of the car a little listlessly and turned her head to look around.
"Boss, here and here!" Lin Zixiang had been waiting at the gate for a long time, and since they had integrated into that game club, they had spent less time with Xu Yao, but this did not change their low status at school.
"Where's Zicong?" Xu Yao only saw Lin Zixiang, but he didn't see Lin Zicong's shadow.
"He's gone in first, and I'll pick you up here." Lin Zixiang said and took the two of them inside.
The market is very large, there are many customers, and those who come and go are called Xu Yao can't see it, and the store is also next to each other, with a dazzling array of goods, many of which Xu Yao has never seen or heard of.
"Where can I find such a big place?" Xu Yao had a headache when he looked at those labyrinthine floor directions. It's okay to get lost casually.
"That's right, I don't know where that guy ran to," Lin Zixiang scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and took out his mobile phone from the bag, "Why don't I call and ask." ”
"There's no way around that." Xu Yao found a chair and sat down.
Su happily ran to the table selling grilled sausages and bought a few and ate them.
The call ended quickly, and Lin Zixiang walked back with his mobile phone, "He said that he had arrived at the place where the game products were sold, it seemed to be the fifth floor." ”
"Then let's go up." Xu Yao grabbed Su who had eaten with relish, and the three of them took the escalator towards the fifth floor.
There were more people in the game electrical area on the fifth floor, and as soon as Xu Yao entered, he saw a very conspicuous "Different Oath" game poster at the door of the special area.
"Can you tell us what you're doing here today?" The three of them walked around inside, taking a look at the electrical appliances around them. There are all the items you need to play the game, and the big and small items are really overwhelming.
Xu Yao saw that Lin Zixiang just looked all the way, his eyes were in a hurry, and he didn't have the appearance of coming out to find something, so he couldn't help but start to be curious.
"I guess it's an auction." Su didn't know when there was an extra promotional advertisement, the kind that was distributed outside. "Since it's an auction, things should be fun."
"You don't need money for the auction." Xu Yao sighed helplessly, now those people are playing games with their lives and money, so the confrontation funds required for an auction that can really arouse the interest of others should not be a small amount, just look at the first place of "Different Oath" for details. So if you really want to participate, the probability of taking pictures of things should not be very high.
"Yes, we're here for the auction." Lin Zixiang heard the conversation between the two of them and immediately said on the side, "Cong said that there will be very rare things today, which may sell very high, or they may be very unpopular." ”
"・・・・・・: "That shouldn't be something about some famous old game, right?" Xu Yao frowned, and didn't ask too much.
The group soon met with Lin Zicong, and Xu Yao saw that he was still carrying a safe in his hand, and at a glance, he knew that it should contain a lot of cash. What a fool to walk around the crowd with so much cash now.
"Boss, you're here." Seeing Xu Yao, Lin Zicong immediately came up to say hello, and it could be seen that he had exercised vigorously just now, and he was still sweating profusely.
"Well, I'll follow you to see if there's nothing going on today." Xu Yao nodded, "So, when does the auction start?" ”
"Come on," Lin Zixiang raised his hand and looked at his watch, "It's half past eight, and the auction will start at nine :15." ”
"It's more than half an hour." Xu Yao knew that those two people were in no mood to follow him around, but it was really uncomfortable to stay in one place and wait slowly.
"Boss, you can go play in for a while, and Satoshi and I will just wait for you outside." Lin Zixiang seemed to see Xu Yao's doubts and hurriedly said.
"Okay, I'll go over by myself when the auction begins," Xu Yao nodded, and took Su and separated from the two of them.
I don't have much interest in games and the like, but it's a good thing to open my eyes. The two of them rushed into the shop and began to look at it with interest.
"It seems that all the stores have been stocked with things about "Different Oaths" recently. Although there are very few places to play "Different Oath", there are really all kinds of peripheral products about "Different Oath", contact lenses, cables, and terminal maintenance tools, etc., are all placed in the most conspicuous place, and the price is expensive. Xu Yao smacked his lips vigorously.
"Don't look at it, you don't lack these things anyway." Sue was more concerned about the other goods that were put aside.
"It's going to be fine with a look." Xu Yao immediately retorted.
"I'm more curious about what will be at auction today." The two men said as they walked towards the next store. When he went out, Xu Yao accidentally bumped into a person who was about to walk in the door, causing a bunch of things in the other party's hand to spill on the ground at once.
"Ahh Xu Yao didn't expect to hit someone at all, so he took three or four steps back, and when he stood firm, he saw a man squatting on the ground picking up something that had fallen.
"I'm sorry!" Seeing this, he immediately walked over and squatted down to help the other party pick it up.
"What a careless guy," Su simply leaned against the wall, not interfering at all, looking at Xu Yao and the man as they picked up the small steel balls on the ground in a panic.
"What is this?" Xu Yao picked up a large handful of steel balls of different sizes and handed them back to the other party's hand, the man was wearing a peaked cap and the brim was pressed very low, he couldn't see his appearance clearly at all.
"It's okay, just take some back and play." The man stood up quickly, didn't say anything to Xu Yao, and left in a hurry.
Xu Yao stood in place and watched the man walk away, and he didn't show Xu Yao his face from beginning to end.
Sue slowly walked over to his side.
"What a strange person," Xu Yao looked a little depressed in the direction the man left. "The average person should have been angry a long time ago."
"Aren't you uncomfortable being scolded by others?"
