The Martian atmosphere is much thinner than Earth's, so it has a large temperature difference between day and night.

It's spring on Mars, and the temperature is fairly warm during the day, and the outside temperature can drop to around zero at night.

Houses made of thick blocks of salt have a good protection from the cold.

Early in the morning, the prisoners woke up cursing the ghost weather of Mars.

Hua Zihui relied on her brother to keep warm, and when she woke up, she still sneeze unconsciously.

The headhunter brought them breakfast, this time not baked potatoes, but boiled potatoes.

As soon as the meal was over, the headhunter came to urge everyone to go on the road.

The village is a peaceful scene, and the large farmland is crowded with people. A group of children chased and played on the path between Helong. Villages like this, there are more than a dozen around the city of Hellas, providing food security for the city of Hellas.

It is reported that the city of Hellas is the only stronghold of humans on the Great Plain of Hellas, which is located in the southern hemisphere of Mars.

In other parts of Mars, there are several human settlements.

The prisoners were loaded into prison carts and set off from the village along a narrow path paved with iron oxide, because Mars has no ocean and no rain, so the road is not muddy and the speed is not slow.

When you see the glittering city walls from afar, it is the city of Hellas, which is made of salt.

Because this is the only city in the vast plain of Hellas, and there are no wild beasts attacking it, the walls here are not high, and the number of guards guarding the city is small.

Horse-drawn carts coming into the city from outside the city to sell agricultural products are endless.

Entering the city, the headhunter led the team directly to the slave trading market.

There is a market on the street and it is lively. Here, there are jubilant slave masters, free people who buy and sell, and slaves with wooden expressions.

The freedmen's stalls are stocked with vegetables and meat, and there are not many types of vegetables, because most Earth vegetables cannot be grown on Mars, but there are several Mars-specific vegetables. There are many varieties of meat, including pork, beef and mutton.

There are also porcelain shops, cloth shops, ironware shops, etc., although they are not large, but they are all complete.

The Servant Market is located in the heart of the city of Hellas, next to the lord's palace, and the buildings here are also made of salt.

Around the palace of the lord of the city are the administrative bodies of the city of Hellas. Among them is a tall building, which is very eye-catching, somewhat like the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

The rules of the slave trade are as follows: the headhunter sends the captured slave to the market, where the appraiser verifies the price, and the approved price is the lowest price, and then auctions are carried out on this basis.

At the end of the auction, there is the sharing of profits. One-tenth of the sale price goes to the headhunter, three-tenths to the headhunter, and the remaining six-tenths to the auction house.

After the headhunters and auction houses get the benefits, they have to pay a 'license tax' to the city lord, so that in the entire slave trade, the city lord who benefits the most is the city lord, which can be said to be the white wolf with empty gloves.

Of course, only in this way will the ownership of the slave by the slave owner be protected.

The protagonists of today's trade are thirty new prisoners from Earth.

Whenever there was a trade, the big bell on the trading table would ring, and the whole city knew that there was a slave trade today, some came to buy and sell, and some came to see the excitement.

The thirty prisoners, including Hua Zixuan's siblings, were tied up with their upper bodies tied and stood in a row on the auction table, no different from the goods waiting to be sold in the bazaar.

Gradually, the crowd grew, the freedmen wore dyed clothes, the slaves wore gray and white clothes of the primary colors, and the slave masters wore gorgeous, brightly colored silk clothes.

There is a row of stools in the front row, and only buyers can sit on them.

The appraiser of the slave trade price was a short and fat man with a greasy face, picking his teeth with a toothpick in one hand and putting the other hand in his trouser pocket. From what he was wearing, it was clear that he was a slave master.

The assessor exchanged a few words with the headhunter to get a general idea of the situation of the prisoners.

In front of each prisoner hangs a small card with the occupation he did while on Earth and the reason for his imprisonment.

The cards were brought from Earth by prisoners and had the seal of the coalition government on them.

Humpty Dumpty's assessors check the slaves one by one.

"Hmm...... Taxi drivers, robbing passengers of their finances and maiming people...... It's a pity that there are no cars for you to drive here, and if you drive a horse-drawn carriage, it may come in handy, five gold coins!"

“CEO...... Gee...... Mars doesn't have employees to take care of you, there are a lot of cattle and sheep, but unfortunately you can't manage it, two gold coins!"

"Podiatry Technician...... Hey, this is okay, a lot of slave masters are good at this, there is really a shortage of such talents on Mars, ten gold coins!"

“......”

"Internet writers? Damn! What I hate most is this kind of guy, who has no strength to work, and is full of whimsical ideas all day long, a gold coin. ”

The webwriter, who was thin and bald on the top of his head, asked, "Why am I so worthless, I can tell you a story!"

Humpty Dumpty's assessor chirped, "Bah, this is Mars, having enough to eat is the first need, who has the time to listen to your story! Do you know why I gave you a gold coin?"

"Ah, why?"

"Because, in order to maintain the dignity of the slave, the lord of the city stipulated that the minimum transaction price of the slave should not be less than one gold coin. Otherwise, I'll give you two copper coins!...... Next!"

The evaluator walked up to Li Wei, "Yo he! Scientist! Absolutely scarce variety, eighteen gold coins!"

"Wow...... Today's highest price. There was a sigh from the audience.

The evaluator walked up to Gasol again, and after looking at the name tag, his eyes widened, "Boxer......! Twenty gold coins!"

"Wow......" was another sigh.

Hua Zihui, who was beside Gasol, looked at him adoringly, "Mr. Gasol, you are the number one brand today!"

Gasol straightened his back, "That's it, wherever you go, you get the most attention!"

Gasol asked the assessor, "What do war servants do?"

The short and fat evaluator ignored him, "Ask your master later, the war servant is very sought-after, you will definitely be able to make a deal today." ”

Next was Hua Zihui, and when the evaluator saw her, he couldn't help but tremble, "Well!

He circled around Hua Zihui, looking at Hua Zihui uncomfortable, and looked at the famous brand again, "Yo, I'm still a college student." This is good, you can be a tutor for the young master of the slave master's family, and you can also serve the slave master in your spare time, a good deal that kills two birds with one stone, haha...... Twenty-two gold coins. ”

"Hmph......" Hua Zihui glanced at Gasol disdainfully, "Sister is the top brand." ”

Hua Zixuan shook his head helplessly, "This is not a beauty pageant......"

The assessor came to Hua Zixuan's side, "Strong enough! Looks are also good, if it is a slave master and widow, she will definitely like it." ”

"Haha......" the audience laughed.

Hua Zihui asked puzzledly, "Alas, why does the slave master's widow like my brother, and why can't the eldest lady of the slave master's family like it?"

The assessor teased, "It's okay, but the widow prefers it." ”

The evaluator looked at Hua Zixuan's nameplate, "Unemployed vagrants?" tsk...... It's hard to get you to go to the farm, and the price can't be too high, it's too high for the farmer to afford, and if the price is low, the auction house won't want to. ”

The assessor pinched Hua Zixuan's arm, "It's really strong enough!

Hua Zixuan was just about to speak, but Hua Zihui rushed and said, "Fighting is my brother's specialty!"

"Yo he!" the evaluator said happily, "This is also the material of a war servant, but it is a bit suspected of resume fraud, so let's do it, fifteen gold coins, and those who wish to take the bait!"

The assessor checked the remaining prisoners, and there was a price for everything, but none of them exceeded ten gold coins.

The appraiser checks the bid, and then the auctioneer appears.

The auctioneer, a middle-aged man with a good manner, announced that the auction had begun.

The first to make a deal was the online writer, because he was cheap and was bought by free people in the countryside to dig a manure pit.

Mars' handicraft workshops and farmlands all require a lot of labor, and some cheap slaves are their first choice.

The low-priced slaves basically did not compare the prices much, and almost all of them were sold at the starting price.

In the end, what was left on the stage was Li Wei, Gasol, Hua Zihui, Hua Zixuan, and the foot therapist with the highest price.

After a while, the pedicure technician was patted away.

After another while, Li Wei was auctioned off by a watch workshop.

The auctioneer pointed to Gasol and Hua Zixuan and said to the audience: "These two strong men, I don't need to say it, you can just look at it, as the material of the war servants, whoever buys them back, winning a game can give you back!"

Someone in the audience said: "If we are killed, we will also go bankrupt!"

"Warrior Servant Race is not for you poor devils to play!" said a big yellow-haired man with a conspicuous rosacea, who sat on a stool in the field, and one person took up the space between the two of them.

Auctioneer: "Oh, it's Mike, you're interested in the Servant too?"

Mike is fat and weighty, square face and broad cheeks, very powerful, "It's okay to be idle, just treat it as a cockfight." ”

He pointed to Gasol and asked, "How much is this?"

Without waiting for the auctioneer to speak, Gasol said, "What is the cost of 'this'? I'm not a supermarket thing, you should say, this 'sir'!"

"Haha......" Mike laughed, "man, I like your personality, because when I first came to Mars, I was also this virtue, and then my master bought it back and broke two ribs, and I was obedient." ”

Gasol snorted, "That's because you're so spineless, if you kill me, I won't bow to you!"

Mike resisted his anger and asked the auctioneer, "How much does this guy cost?"

Auctioneer: "Twenty gold coins." ”
