After the entire wall in front of Zach automatically "collapsed", what appeared was a huge hollow stage.

The auction hall is basically designed in the same style as the original corridor. The pure black color palette makes the whole environment look very deep and mysterious.

In this hollowed-out space, Zach saw many lattices divided by fluorescent lines.

Each grid represents a room he is in, and there are more than thirty such grids.

……

"So, this design that completely hollows out all the space of the ten floors will not affect the load-bearing system of this building?" Zach turned his head to the usher and asked.

The usher opened a touch screen on the wall of the room and issued a request from the guests in the auction room for "Fat House Happy Water".

He then went back and explained: "The architectural design of this auction hall was technically examined, and the hollowed-out ten-story building is located at the very top of the building, which minimizes the impact on the load-bearing structure. ”

This is probably the most stylish auction Zach has seen in his life so far, the architectural structure of the scene is to hollow out the top ten floors of the building, and only three spacious rooms are left on each floor to form a floor, and each room can see the hollowed out center stage. This design can be said to be very bold.

"Is this place only for Mr. Doug's auction?" Zach asked.

"It's true that Mr. Doug's auctions are held here, but there are other events that are usually held here, the more secretive kind." The receiver explained enthusiastically.

"Got it." Zach nodded.

"Well, there will be a staff member who will bring you the drink you want soon, if you still have any needs, you can mention it to the person, I have to go back to my original location, wait for your friend Mr. Luo to arrive, I wish you can take pictures of what you like."

After politely saying these words to Zack, the usher exited the room.

……

…

At the same time, Luo, who was sitting in the guest seats of the fundraiser, had already learned the general structure of the auction site through the data transfer screen of the glasses.

One thing that can be confirmed is that the lighting effect over there is indeed too dim to keep him, the "luminous man", from being discovered.

"Congratulations, you managed to waste half a million."

Zack's voice rang out in the glasses' tiny audio system.

"It's expensive."

Luo watched the performance on the fundraising stage expressionlessly and muttered quietly.

"Then I can only enjoy this auction room by myself~"

"Congratulations."

……

At this time, the door to the room was pushed open, and the waiter respectfully brought in a glass of ice Coke, and then withdrew.

"In fact, if we had realized this problem earlier, we could have only bought one admission ticket, after all, as long as there are these two glasses, there is no difference between one person and two people, so we don't have to waste a full 500,000, 500,000."

Zach sipping Coke from his cup through a straw.

"yes."

Law replied absentmindedly.

"When does your auction start?"

"I don't know, the man didn't make it clear just now...... Huh? It seems to have begun, and the center stage lights up. ”

As Zach spoke, he suddenly noticed a light in the center of the openwork stage in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, the thirty rooms divided by fluorescent lines appeared on each of them, and the numbers ranged from the beginning to the twenty-four, presumably indicating the twenty-four guests who participated in the auction.

The spotlight converged on the central floating stage, and at some point, a young blonde man in a suit and leather shoes was already standing there.

After bowing in all directions, the man adjusted the miniature microphone in his ear and announced the official start of the auction:

"Welcome to all distinguished guests......"

Zach sat on the couch and reached out to touch the bidding button on his left hand, looking slightly excited, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to what the guy on the center stage was talking about.

He thought that this guy on the stage would be similar to the opening of the fundraiser dozens of floors down, and he would have to waste nearly half an hour or so doing the opening nonsense stage.

But in fact, the format of this auction is much cleaner than the fundraiser downstairs.

The blonde man on the center stage simply greeted the guests in the twenty-four auction rooms present, and then went straight into the bidding auction mode.

……

"This guy doesn't look very pleasing to the eye, although it's not wrong to say that he is very polite, but I don't know why, it's just that he doesn't like it."

Zach said as he looked at the auction host on the center stage.

"Blonde."

Luo looked at the transition screen in his left lens and said lightly.

"Blonde? What's wrong with blonde hair, I don't have any prejudice against blonde hair. Zach replied.

"Chris is blonde."

"Oh~ I see." Zach nodded abruptly, "It's better that your thinking angle is a little trickier." ”

"Hmm."

"But then again, is our goal just to wait for that so-called finale new weapon to come out?" Zach asked.

"That's right."

"How can we tell if that thing we're looking for?" Zach asked.

"I'll judge."

"Okay."

……

With a brief conversation between the two of them, the first bidding item of the auction had already been sold.

It's almost a god speed.

There is a minimum amount for each bidder's markup, and the number of the highest bidder's room will change from blue to red, and when there is a higher bid than him, the number of the room will revert to blue.

There is no obvious atmosphere in the bidding scene, and the host is simply in charge of the bidding process, everything is like a running machine, step by step......

Since the number of bidders is not very large, only twenty-four parties, this is also very normal, after all, not everyone can afford to consume 500,000 tickets, and more importantly, many people who can afford to consume are not even qualified to contact this auction, they don't know that there is this auction at all, you must know that the reason why Luo was able to get the admission ticket from Corey is that Zach bought the information of this auction through the intelligence agency on the Internet, and secondly, He also completed an arms order of more than one million on Cory's side, without which he and Zach would not have been able to enter the auction.

……

Bidding was smooth.

The bidders were completely separated from each other, they didn't even know who the other party was, and they were presented with only another twenty-three numbered room slots.

And usually when the price of an item reaches the height predicted by others, they basically will not continue to increase the price, after all, although they have a lot of money, they are not stupid.

Many of the things that Doug took out for auction were basically not obtained through formal channels, because he was not a serious businessman in the first place, and some of these things that were put on the table to bid on may have zero cost.

Therefore, bidders have also restrained the tendency to compete with each other for bids, which is a rule that they have tacitly agreed to.

They are not here to consume, of course, it is not excluded that some wealthy collectors will take away some cultural relics and other things at a high price, but the vast majority of the bidders are merchants, and they suppress the price of the things they want to obtain to a minimum through this auction, and then change hands through other channels, regardless of whether it is formal or informal, legal or illegal, as long as there is money to be made.

These potential rules, both the auctioneer and the bidder, are well aware and acceptable to both parties.

Doug needs to sell some things of unknown origin, even if the transaction price will be much lower than when this thing was released, but don't forget that the auction items he took out are basically close to zero cost, and the windfall profits in this are estimated to be only known to him.

For bidders, they only need to sell the items that have suppressed the price through their own channels, and they can also get a lot of returns.

Basically a win-win situation, this potential tacit understanding contributed to this auction.

……

There are also many types of things that are brought to the auction stage.

From artifacts to artworks and even intelligence, it's as if anything can be put up for bidding.

And most of the stuff here could cause a huge stir if you put it just outside.

For example, this oil painting is now being auctioned - "Billiards".

……

"My Cao, shouldn't this thing be in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia?"

Zach scanned the painting hanging on the center stage with his glasses and found its origin.

"Is this real or fake?"

"It's none of our business." Luo said lightly.

"Oh yes, that's what you said." Zach pouted.

……

Eventually, this 1807 painting, arguably one of the world's most famous paintings, was taken away by the bidder in Room 20 for nearly 200 million.

Zack himself didn't bother to calculate the specific amount, and he wasn't sure how many digits there were on the string of numbers presented on the main stage, and he might have read one more zero or one less.

But none of that matters.

"If you want me to say, we don't even have the qualifications to bid for the auction things that are taken out of this place." Zach said as he touched the bidding button.

"We weren't here for the auction in the first place." Luo replied lightly.

"Then ......" Zach thought for a moment and said, "No, if that so-called finale weapon wasn't what you're looking for, wouldn't I have spent half a million to come here for a Coke?" ”

"And what do you want?"

"I'm going to ask the waiter to prescribe me a good wine or something." Zach said.

"You'd better not mess around, I don't want to carry you back." Rowe coldly warned Zach.

“……”

……

The auction on the top floor of the building continues.

And Luo's fundraiser has been chattering, and he doesn't even know what the hell this group of people are doing for a long time.

Presumably, the fundraiser is just a nice disguise, but in essence it is just a banquet for the rich and powerful to get together to drink and chat.

In Law's current field of vision, half of it is the auction on Zack's side, and half is the fundraiser he is in.

He noticed that the white uniformed usher who had led Zach away had returned to his original position, but now that it had been confirmed that the dim environment above would reveal his strange specialty, the usher in front of him was useless.

The auction was going on in an orderly manner, and neither Law nor Zach knew exactly when the final weapon of the finale would appear, so they could only wait.

And just as Luo was paying close attention to the situation of the auction, someone came over and sat down directly in the vacant seat next to him.

Luo was a little surprised that the other party would suddenly appear next to him.

After all, the table he was at was not the best angle to watch the stage, and the table was littered with food debris left by Zach, and many guests looking for a place chose to automatically ignore the existence of this table.

But the woman came over.

Luo didn't quite understand......

"Oh, I'm sorry, can I sit here?"

The glamorous stunner in a pure white evening dress asked Luo with a smile.

"You're already sitting."

Luo glanced at the other party.

Compared with the previous long-distance observation of nearly 20 meters apart, although the resolution of the glasses is extremely high, but at such a close distance, Luo can almost smell the smell of the other party's hair, which still has a unique charm.

That's right, this woman who quietly appeared next to Luo is the sexy woman in the white dress who Zach peeped at through the farsightedness function of the glasses before.

"I'm just asking out of politeness." The other party waved his hand and said with a smile.

“……”

Luo didn't plan to talk, he wasn't good at talking to people he didn't know at all, that should be Joe's natural skill.

He didn't quite understand why the other party came to this remote position compared to the other guest seats, could it be that the other party had noticed Zach and his unbridled gaze before?

This possibility should be basically zero.

But at this time, half of Luo's attention was on the auction screen of the left lens, so he didn't plan to have anything to do with this woman.

"By the way, I'm Daisy, what about you?"

The woman didn't seem to notice Luo's cold attitude at all, and she enthusiastically stretched out her hand and reported her name.

A hint of surprise flashed in Luo's eyes.

"I'm so amazing? Can this also be blind? ”

Zach's startled ghost scream can be heard from the audio system of the glasses.

When he heard the sound of Law talking to others, Zach immediately turned on Law's vision transition, and now half of his lenses showed Law's field of vision.

The picture is the beautiful woman in the white evening dress, that is, Daisy.
