"Auction?" Holding the VIP card, I muttered to myself.

"Yes, distinguished guests, as long as you hold this card in your hand now, you can participate in the auctions held by our bank on a regular basis, and many rare goods will be auctioned at the auction, which are some items that cannot be directly measured by money, and I believe that you will definitely be interested in it at that time." The service staff said with a signature smile.

Raised his eyebrows slightly, I heard Xiao Lao also say that it is said that some of Jin Shixing's high-tech weapons and the like may be sold in the auction, some of which are sold through regular channels, but it is unknown how some of them came from.

The alliance has been turning a blind eye to this, and I can guess the reason, the three races of the Dawn Alliance seem to be very harmonious on the surface, but in fact it is not, there seems to be intrigue within the alliance, and sometimes I will hear Xiao Lao mention that most of the scientific and technological power of the Jinshi Xingren has not been shared with the Alliance, which can be seen from the fact that the root Xingwu of the Jinshi Xingren can hardly be seen in the Gun Star Pavilion.

The other two races are quite dissatisfied with this, so although the protection of order in the City of Truth is very tight, and smuggling is naturally uncommon, but for the smuggling of items from the Golden Stone Star, both humans and ethereal starmen seem to be in a state of acquiescence, as long as it is not too much and does not move to the surface, it is okay.

But even the Alliance's own banks are doing this kind of thing, which is a bit of a problem for this city of order.

But I didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, it was still a little far away, I was still a student, and most of the items in the auction were sky-high, and not ordinary people could afford them. However, if you make money yourself in the future, if you sell relieving drugs, you can take a look. Although it is said that this potion can only be obtained through the reward of the highest level mission, the alliance cannot care about what has already been obtained, so it is possible that someone will take it out and sell it.

Shaking my head, I walked out of the bank, now is not the time to think about this, the most important thing at the moment is to prepare for the grade ranking battle. In two days, the grade ranking battle will begin, and I don't know what I can achieve with my current strength.

Back in the dormitory, Honeysuckle happened to be there, and I saw him with a sad look on his face as soon as I entered the door.

"What's the matter, Honeysuckle, what's upset?" I asked, sitting next to him.

Honeysuckle sighed silently, "Hey, how are you preparing?" ”

"It's just that I'm worried about the grade ranking battle, I'm okay, I've done everything that should be done anyway, and then it's up to me to play on the spot, but isn't the grade ranking battle a reward system, even if the grades are not good, it shouldn't matter."

"Hey...... That's a grade rule, not a class. Honeysuckle sighed again, his face became worse, and he knew from his dark circles that he must not have rested well recently.

"Our homeroom teacher has a very strange temper, and he is a face-saving person, it is said that he seems to have made a bet with a certain teacher that our class must be ranked higher than the other party, so the homeroom teacher held a meeting and told us that everyone in the class must be ranked in the top third of the grade.

He also grabbed me and said that because my star source level is the highest in the class, I must come back with a top four. ”

As he spoke, Honeysuckle turned his head, grabbed my clothes, and the whole person came to me, and suddenly a fragrance came to his nose, "He actually said that if there is one person in the class who is not in the top third, he will run around the academy, and each more will be one more lap, and he also said that if I can't get the top four, the amount of training in the class will be doubled in the future!" ”

The tears that Honeysuckle said were about to come out, and a pair of beautiful eyes flashed with tears, if someone who didn't know saw it, I probably thought that I bullied a big beauty and cried, and I would definitely come up and fight upset, because he is like this now, as a boy I shouldn't have said that, but although I want to sympathize with him, it's really ......

The most touching time for girls is when pear blossoms bring rain, when Chu Chu is pitiful, no matter which boy faces such a girl, and when she is a big beauty, she will not have half a point of resistance, but I didn't expect that one day I would actually use this sentence on a boy.

Honeysuckle was confiding in me about his dissatisfaction and pressure, and as one of his few friends and roommates, I must have to face him, but I didn't dare to look at him, because I was afraid that one day I would be bent by him. So my eyes began to roll back and forth around my eye sockets, and then I said at the same time: "Well, that's really unfortunate, in short, it's good to work hard to be worthy of yourself, I believe the teacher will also see your efforts, and will not sincerely embarrass you." ”

"That being said, but the students around me are now working hard every day to practice their skills in the training ground, and I always feel that I am not working hard enough, and I am under a lot of pressure...... Inkmarks, why did you roll your eyes. ”

Thinkers

Time flashed, and it was the day of the grade ranking battle, which was also the first day.

"Hello students, I'm sure many people may have heard of me, but it may be the first time to meet me, haha." A familiar voice sounded from the podium not far away, and then there were deafening cries of surprise and cheers from the audience, and I looked up to see a tall man standing on the stage, with bulging muscles and neat white hair. I know this person, it is Zhuang Xuanzhuang Lao.

This is the first time I have seen him in this kind of public place, as the strongest of the Nine Stars, the Brilliant Star Zhuang Xuan is not only the leader and spokesperson of the human side of the Alliance, but also the head of the Nine Star Academy, it is said that he can only be seen at the opening ceremony of this relatively large academy event, and in addition to this, even the door of the head of the house is usually locked.

Probably because of his strong strength and relatively handsome appearance, Zhuang Lao's popularity is quite high in the alliance, especially among humans, so almost every day he can see students and even teachers coming to his office to look for him, but every time he is closed.

There are different opinions on this. Some people say that Zhuang Lao is usually busy with official business, and he doesn't even have time to return to the academy; There are also people who say that Zhuang Lao often has to take high-level controllers to different small worlds to explore and complete tasks, and the most I have heard is that the reason why Zhuang Lao is not in school is because he is fighting against unknown alien lifeforms, which sounds like the bridge of a personal heroic fantasy movie.

However, what he is actually doing is known only to me, a person who often acts with Xiao Lao, who is busy eating, drinking, and searching for the truth every day by relying on Xiao Lao's spatial ability

Among the city's finest delicacy.

What followed was a ten-minute impassioned speech, which generally encouraged the students to work hard, be positive, and work reasonably. Is it tear-jerking to I don't think, urging people to urinate is almost, I don't know if it's Zhuang Lao's ability to "reason", there is a special fluctuation in his voice, like a sound wave hitting my body so that my whole body trembled unconsciously, and a few students even ran directly to the toilet because of the slight vibration caused by his voice, I really don't know if it was intentional.

"Alright, that's all I have to say, then I announce that the grade ranking battle has officially begun!" As the students and teachers cheered together, Zhuang Lao smiled with satisfaction and disappeared.

The grade ranking battle is held at the same time for all grades, and students from different grades are allowed to watch each other, because of the large number of students, several large arenas that are not usually used will be temporarily opened, and the school's teachers will also be present to give guidance.

It is worth mentioning that it is said that the individual battles of each grade ranking battle are watched more by students, and most of them are younger students, while the team battle is seen more by the top management of the school and even the top of the alliance, the purpose is mainly to select talents from it, after all, in a place like the alliance that focuses on cooperation, the members with better grades in the team battle may be more able to contribute to the alliance.

Both the individual and team battles of the grade ranking battles are the same as the class ranking battles, and the order of appearance is determined by drawing lots, and if you are lucky, you may even have a bye. The grade ranking battle lasts longer than the class ranking battle, probably lasting about a month.

Follow Mr. Zhao to a big arena, find the position of our class and sit down, because the number of participants in the individual battle is relatively large, so the lottery is carried out within each class, for example, if the first lottery is drawn, then all the students in each class who draw the first lot will move to the No. 1 arena, and the second will move to the No. 2 arena, and so on.

I touched it casually in the box, and it was the No. 1 sign that appeared in my hand. After saying hello to Mr. Zhao, I got up and went to meet with a few people who also won the No. 1 lottery. Coincidentally, there were Jiang Ou and Fan Xingyue in the No. 1 team, and Fan Xingyue still stepped forward to greet me enthusiastically when he saw me, and Jiang Ou still looked at me with some jealousy, but it was much more restrained than before, and when I looked at him, he suddenly changed to a flattering expression and waved at me.

I don't have a good impression of him at all, even if this kind of person really befriends him, maybe one day he will stab you in the back, if Fanxingyue is opposite me, I may also consider showing mercy to my subordinates, of course, it is still two to say who wins and who loses in a real fight, but for Jiang Ou, I will definitely go all out.

Arena No. 1 was next door, and we didn't walk a few steps to the arena, and as soon as we entered, a teacher stepped forward to guide us in, and brought us a box for us to draw lots. This draw is different from the previous one, this time it is a draw to determine the order of play and the opponent.

I didn't have to look at the outcome of the draw to see me, after all, people like me, who have always been unlucky, tend to draw the worst things. Sure enough, my draw is No. 1 again, and my opponent is a classmate who has reached the limit of the "li" level, Fanxingyue.
