Chapter 461: Banquet (2)
Chen stood quietly in the corner of the hall, looking at the pride of the sky in the reception. Find a random person here, all of them are powerful children calling for wind and rain outside, but here they are just ordinary members, as if they are small characters revolving around Luo Xiyuan. This is the first time that Chenping has so intuitively felt the changes in Luo Xiyuan and the power he holds. Before you know it, your former friends are already characters from another world, and you have to look up to them.
With Chenping's identity, although it was brought by Luo Xiyuan, it is impossible to integrate into this circle all at once after all. Fortunately, he has the status of a top student of the Light of Liberty Academy, and the talents in the venue did not reject him too much. So when Luo Xiyuan greeted the others, Chenping was the only one standing in the corner of the hall, wandering outside the circle.
According to Luo Xiyuan's introduction just now, coupled with his own observations, the guests in the hall can be roughly divided into three groups. A group of people led by Luo Xiyuan, and Chenping himself is naturally included in this faction; Si Zining, another teenager with a similar identity to Luo Xiyuan, has also become one of the focuses of the audience because his grandfather is an awakened person; As for the last heavyweight, it was an acquaintance that Chenping had seen, the first day of the Federation, Wen Shengxin, and a large group of elite geniuses had also gathered around him.
"Chenping, do you remember us?" Just when Chenping was bored, several people walked up to him, and one of them asked kindly.
"The literary director is really good at joking, I naturally recognize you!" Chenping politely shook hands with the few people who came over.
"The aura on your body has converged a lot, and it seems to have become stronger!" Except for Wen Shengxin, the others are all geniuses of the Awakening Fang, and they have basically seen it once or twice in the Mecha Arena. And at this time, it was Ji Wushuang, another genius of the Awakening Fang, who spoke with a high spirit, and said to Chenping with a high spirit: "Find a chance, let's compete!" ”
"There's a chance!" Chenping smiled slightly and responded casually. As one of the main forces of the Liberty Light Academy back then, Fake Chenping had won Ji Wushuang in a one-on-one battle, so Chenping didn't feel strange at all about Ji Wushuang's provocation.
"Don't just want to fight!" Wen Shengxin shook his head with a smile and glanced at Ji Wushuang, then asked Chenping, "If I'm not mistaken, An An is your sister!" ”
"Yes!" Chenping was slightly stunned: "The senior also knows An An?" ”
"Who in the Awakened Tooth doesn't know An An?" Wen Sheng said with a smile on his face: "Speaking of which, we can get the first place in the championship that year, and An An also contributed a lot!" ”
"Really? I don't know! From the records of the fake Chenping, Chen Ping did not see the information that Chen An'an was out of the competition, but Jing Buer participated in the competition in the second year of his absence, and assisted Wen Shengxin and others to win the championship of that year's event with his superb combat power. It's just that Chen An'an didn't go to the Free Star Domain that year, but Fake Chenping didn't participate in the Mecha Championship after that year's event because he was afraid of the appearance of Chen An'an or the first meeting.
"Speaking of which, we are all from the academy faction, so we can have more contact in the future, and we can be regarded as having a care!" Wen Shengxin said.
"That's nature!" Wen Shengxin expressed kindness to himself at this time, mostly for the sake of his sister Chen An'an, and Chen Ping was naturally willing to make friends with a top genius like Wen Shengxin.
At that moment, the lights dimmed, and a soft music rang out in the hall. As the music began, many young men and women began to dance in the hall. However, the reaction of Wen Shengxin and the others made Chenping a little strange, and after they heard the music, they directly said goodbye to Chenping and left, as if there was something urgent to do.
"Here we go!" At this time, Luo Xiyuan also walked back to Chenping's face, whispered, and pulled Chenping out of the hall.
"What started?" Chenping asked curiously.
"Tonight's auction, of course!" Luo Xiyuan explained as he walked: "There is a corresponding program in this club every night, and tonight is an auction and a flying motorcycle race. However, the flying locomotive event is after the auction, so let's see what good things are on sale tonight, and it's not too late to go to the races. ”
"I didn't expect there to be so many doorways." Chenping said with a smile.
"Actually, there are many other projects and services here, such as you can find a mecha master to design a mecha for you, you can issue a task to acquire a specific item, or collect the information you want, etc." Luo Xiyuan took Chenping into an empty room, and smiled and tempted: "If you want some special services, I can also choose a few best ones for you!" ”
"I also said that I am not a playboy, but I am familiar with these things!" Chen Ping sneered and shook his head and said.
"I'm just picking it for you!" Luo Xiyuan said a little angrily.
"How do you make me want to believe you!" Chenping said disdainfully.
"Brother Regret!" At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a young girl came over, startling both Chenping. This girl Chenping recognized that when she first arrived here, Luo Xiyuan had introduced Chenping to a cousin of Luo Xiyuan and a descendant of the Luo family.
"What's wrong?" Luo Xiyuan asked a little dissatisfied.
"My sisters and brothers dislike me, but people really want to buy a few things today! Brother Xiyuan, can I stay here? The girl asked pitifully.
"What do you think?" Luo Xiyuan glanced at Chenping a little helplessly.
"It doesn't matter, just let her stay!" Chenping didn't think there was anything wrong, and nodded directly in agreement.
"Hehe, thank you, Brother Xiyuan!" The girl happily jumped to Luo Xiyuan's side and asked with a wicked smile on her face, "I have a few things I want to buy in a while, can my brother help me pay for it?" ”
"The system here is not only for auctions, but also for the sale of rare goods!" Luo Xiyuan didn't pay attention to the girl, but said to Chenping: "What can be seen by us shouldn't be too bad!" ”
"Stingy!" When the girl saw that Luo Xiyuan ignored her, she immediately scolded in a low voice in dissatisfaction.
Chenping came this time, mainly to find drugs to enhance physical fitness, so he searched for drug information in the intelligent system, but unfortunately there were no suitable drugs. However, this is also normal, there are few drugs that can be used for extreme improvement, and Chenping's requirements are extremely high, and those high-grade drugs on the market are not in Chenping's eyes at all.
When Chenping was looking at it, the screen suddenly went black, and then a smiling skull appeared, making Chenping involuntarily step back. And when the girl saw Chenping's ugliness, she immediately chuckled unscrupulously.
"I designed it!" Luo Xiyuan added even more proudly at this time.
"It's funny!" Chenping rolled his eyes, a little speechless at this boring trick.
"The first auction item of the day is the old-fashioned Star Energy Gun 'Luna's Roar'. This is a star-energy gun made by an unknown master, don't look at its old style, the star-energy bullets it shoots are very powerful, one shot is enough to blow up an ordinary building...... Its starting bid is 50 million Star Coins, and each bid must not be less than 1 Million Star Dollars! After the skull disappeared, an old-fashioned Starlight Gun was displayed in front of the trio, and then a deep male voice began to explain the origin of the Starlight Gun.
"The roar of the moon god?" Chen Ping looked at the Star Energy Gun in front of him in amazement, and suddenly had a familiar feeling. He also had one of this old-fashioned star energy gun in his hand, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable.
"The value of this old-fashioned star energy gun is very high, and you can't get it at all without a bid of about 500 million!" Luo Xiyuan explained: "There are a lot of weapon enthusiasts in our circle, so I know that an old-fashioned Starlight gun like this one that is well-preserved and can still be used is very popular in the market of weapon enthusiasts. If you meet a good buyer, it is not uncommon to bid a billion. ”
"See how much this one is worth?" Chenping took out an old-fashioned star energy gun from his body and handed it to Luo Xiyuan.
"Wow, good thing!" After Luo Xiyuan looked at it carefully, he returned the star energy gun to Chen Ping, and said with a smile: "You should be a nobleman's boutique star energy gun, it was originally a collector's item, and it should be more valuable." I can't say it for a while, but it's certainly not under a billion. Anyway, you're not short of money, so I don't think it's better for you to sell it. ”
"Why?" Chenping asked a little puzzled.
"In our circle, sometimes it doesn't look at whether you have money, but whether you have the background and knowledge." Luo Xiyuan said: "If you have more money, it's a bunch of numbers, but if you have one or two things that others don't have, it will show your status even more, and it is far from being made up for by a few money!" ”
"Oh, there's such a thing!" Chenping nodded, and casually put the Starlight Gun back in his arms. But in fact, when he covered it with his clothes, he received the Starlight Gun into the bracelet space.
At this time, the old Starlight Gun on the screen was finally sold for 600 million Star Coins, and then the auction item reappeared as a somewhat dilapidated flying locomotive. This should be an old luxury locomotive with very little production, and the starting price alone is as high as 100 million. However, Chenping didn't have much interest in these things, and sat bored watching the auction bid. However, Luo Xiyuan's cousin was full of interest, and she had already called the price several times after a short while, and finally she auctioned the locomotive at a high price of 1.1 billion star coins.
Just quietly watched the appearance of one by one valuable auction items, but Chenping never opened a price until then, and obviously had no interest in these auction items. Luo Xiyuan was a little anxious when he saw this, but he was also one of the owners of the auction, and there was nothing that could attract the attention of his friends, which really made him feel a little embarrassed.
"It's finally time for the most exciting time, with the three finale items coming out for now...... I can assure you that these three items will definitely blow everyone's mind! Now I'm going to introduce you to the next auction item, the magical brooch with the Mark of Light......"
"Poof!" As soon as he heard the four words of the Mark of Light, all the wine that Luo Xiyuan had just drunk into his mouth spurted out. He turned to look at Chenping with a black face, and quickly explained, "It's not me!" ”
"This brooch doesn't look ordinary, but it has the mark of light on it that of a floating subhuman. It is the same as the sigil of light in the Academy of Liberty Light, but without the limitations of the academy, it can activate the ability of light to teleport and quickly travel to and from all parts of the planet. The only downside is that it has a limit of 10 uses......" the auctioneer is eagerly explaining.
"Si Zining!" Each auction item has its detailed records, and with Luo Xiyuan's identity, he knew who the original owner of this auction item was in a moment's time, and immediately contacted that guy. And the owner of this brooch is the Si Zining, whose identity is not inferior to Luo Xiyuan. After seeing Si Zining's projection appear, Luo Xiyuan couldn't help but roar loudly: "Are you crazy? ”
"What's wrong?" Si Zining, who was still smug, couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied when he saw Luo Xiyuan's expression. You must know that his background is no worse than Luo Xiyuan, and he grew up in the capital star since he was a child, and his power and connections are better than Luo Xiyuan. Now Luo Xiyuan actually shouted at him like this, which made his mood extremely bad.
"I don't care where you got this brooch from. But do you know that this kind of thing has been listed as the highest-level military management material, and you actually took it out for auction, are you crazy? Luo Xiyuan asked.
"I haven't heard of any military management materials!" When Si Zining heard this, a trace of disgrace appeared on his face. He got this thing from his grandfather, and because there was more than one relationship, he deliberately took it out to show off. As for whether this thing is a special material under military management, he doesn't care! Listening to Luo Xiyuan's tone, he found that the other party also knew about this kind of ornament with the mark of light, which made him feel a strange unhappiness.
"Two billion Star Coins!" Just when the two looked at each other angrily, the auction over there had already begun, and the brooch, which originally had a starting price of one billion, was suddenly mentioned as two billion.
"You clean up this mess yourself!" At this time, he was already riding a tiger, and Luo Xiyuan had nothing to do, so he simply didn't care about anything. Anyway, he didn't break into the trouble, and if there is any trouble, the guy who will naturally be responsible for it, what does it matter to him!
"I'll give out three billion star coins!" The girl next to Luo Xiyuan suddenly offered a higher price at this time, and then nodded to Si Zining's projection with a smile.
"Hmph, I'm up to something, it has nothing to do with you!" Si Zining snorted coldly, and hung up the communication directly.
"Five billion!" At this time, the auction price jumped directly to the sky-high price of 5 billion.
"Ten billion!" In less than two seconds, the auction price doubled, much to the surprise of most people.
"10 billion for the first time, 10 billion for the second time...... 10 billion for the third time, deal! In the end, the brooch engraved with the Mark of Light was sold for 10 billion Star Coins.
"It's so cheap!" Just when Luo Xiyuan and the girl next to him felt that the price was too high, Chenping on the side shook his head and whispered regretfully, which made the two of them stunned for a while.
"The price is still said to be cheap, so how much do you think is right?" The girl asked with a sneer.
"In the Free Star Domain, once this kind of thing is thrown, it can easily be sold for ten times the current price!" Chenping said affirmatively: "Do you know why? Because after obtaining this thing, combined with the Light Mark of the Free Light Academy, you may be able to study the secret of the Light Mark. ”
“……”
"A sigil of light ornament that can only be used ten times can fetch a sky-high price of 10 billion, and we can't let this enthusiasm cool down. Now let's introduce the next auction item - genetic optimizer......" As soon as these words came out, the originally somewhat relaxed atmosphere was ignited again, and even Chenping was shocked, staring at the bottle of potion that appeared on the screen.
"Genetic optimizer, who put this on the auction item?" Luo Xiyuan said excitedly.
Genetic optimization research has always been in the bottleneck stage, although there were rumors of successful research some time ago, but genetic optimization drugs have never appeared on the market, and everyone does not know whether this rumor is true or false. At this time, seeing a bottle of genetic optimization medicine appear in front of him, almost everyone wanted to take it for themselves immediately.
"Tuk Tuk!" Just when Luo Xiyuan and the others were ready to take pictures of this genetic optimization potion, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"Who?" Luo Xiyuan and the three of them were slightly stunned, there were rules in the clubhouse, and it was impossible for the bodyguards outside to let people knock on the door at will. So now there is a knock on the door, which means that the identity of the person who came is extremely high, and the bodyguards can't stop it if they want to.
"Sorry fate, I'm Wen Shengxin, open the door!" A gentle voice sounded outside.
"......" Chenping and Luo Xiyuan couldn't help but glance at each other, not understanding what Wen Shengxin was doing at this time?
