Chapter 110: The Auction
It's human!
Mu Rong never thought that human trafficking would appear in front of his eyes, shouldn't this kind of buying and selling only exist in ancient times? Even in modern times, it shouldn't exist in front of everyone's eyes!
But most of the people present seemed to be accustomed to it, and the men stared at the girl with a large area of bare skin, and their eyes were full of lustful light. Even if someone shows a hint of surprise at first, then their gaze will change.
The accompanying guides, both men and women, looked indifferently at the "exhibits" and smiled professionally as they introduced the girl's information to their customers.
The expressions of a few women were even more indifferent, and the eyes of the girls in the cage looked as if they were looking at toys waiting to be sold.
"This is a survivor who fled from Y City, only twenty years old, according to her own words, she has no family, she is healthy, everyone has seen her appearance, her skin is smooth and flawless, and the most important thing is that she is not yet in the air~" The host showed a man who knows how to smile, "Male VIPs naturally don't need to say much, female customers buy back to be a call girl is also very face-saving!" Lots start at 10,000 credits, and all VIPs are welcome to bid. β
After the host finished speaking, some of the guests sitting next to him asked the guide about the girl with great interest, and looked at the girl in the cage with a scrutinizing gaze.
The thinly dressed girl didn't know whether it was cold or afraid, shrunk in the corner of the cage and shivered slightly, the tears on her face could not hide her delicate appearance, and the girl's eyes revealed despair.
When everyone was almost done, the host showed the next lots, including men and women, and when auctioning a man with a very good look, there were even a few female customers who directly called out the price. And the expressions of those lots are also different, some are like the first girl, with a face full of despair, while others have a seductive look in their eyes to everyone who looks at her.
"Were they all sold voluntarily?"
"How can it," the guide didn't mind revealing some news to Mu Rongduo, "There are some people who voluntarily sell themselves in order to climb the high branches, but there are also some who can't survive, beg for food, or owe debts on the black market, and have to pay off their debts." β
"..."Mu Rong doesn't know what to say, sympathize with them?" Naturally, there was some sympathy, but she couldn't buy them all, could she? Not to mention whether the funds are enough or not, it is a big problem to say that these people will stay after they are bought, and after this group of people, will there be no buying and selling people here? Murong never felt that he was a savior, nor did he expect to be able to save everyone, "Let's go." β
"Don't look at it?" The guide asked.
Mu Rong nodded.
"Let's go, then." In fact, the guide knew that the deal was yellow when he looked at Mu Rong's eyes at the booth, but he unexpectedly didn't want to persuade anything more this time, if he had to investigate why, it could only be said that it was because of her indifferent look.
"Thank you." Mu Rong handed over a second-order crystal nucleus as a guide's reward.
The guide took the payment, approached Mu Rong ambiguously, and said in a low voice: "You're welcome, if you're not satisfied with the group of people inside, Miss, you might as well consider me~"
Mu Rong was taken aback by his words, and subconsciously ducked back, but before he could answer his flirtatious words, he was taken into his arms by a pair of hands.
Gu He'an's nice voice sounded above her head: "She is already famous, so I won't bother this gentleman to remember." After Gu He'an finished speaking, he pulled Mu Rong and left.
Mu Rong didn't expect that the guide would come out like this temporarily, and he was very embarrassed for a while, but it was a little sweet to be pulled by Gu He'an like this, the cold mask offset the hot flashes on his face, and Mu Rong's little daughter-in-law followed Gu He'an and sat down.
The time was almost up, and everyone was seated around the booth, which was facilitated by the niche nature of the auction, which was filled with enough seats around the semi-circular booth to accommodate all the guests.
As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, the lights in the hall quickly dimmed, allowing more lights to gather on the booth.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this auction. I'm sure you've already heard the rules of the auction on the road, so I won't say much about it, so let's take a look at the first lot, Mermaid Tears! The staff presiding over the auction didn't say much polite words, and directly began to let everyone see the first lot, "The mermaid's tears are extremely precious sapphires before the end of the world, and they were originally only seen by the nobles of country F, and they came here because of chance." I believe that it is also the fate of all of you here to meet it today..."
"Do you have anything you want?" After sitting down, Gu He'an hadn't spoken to Mu Rong yet, Mu Rong felt a little embarrassed, so he opened the topic first.
β... Nothing precious, what about you? β
"Well, I want to shoot a few crystal nuclei, and nothing else."
"Well, shoot whatever you like, Lu Li is quite generous to give money." Gu He'an had already negotiated a deal with Lu Li, to be precise, with Liu Lao's representative yesterday, so the funds were still abundant.
"Hmm." There was nothing abnormal between Mu Rong's care and An Yan's conversation, so she also put her mind at ease to watch the auction, but the little loss in her heart was selectively ignored by her.
"This lady is bidding 20,000 credits, is there a higher bid?" The host's gaze swept over everyone present, and found that no one shouted again, so he announced, "20,000 credits for the first time, 20,000 credits for the second time, 20,000-"
"Twenty-one thousand credits!" A beautiful woman in a bright red evening dress suddenly stood up and raised the price.
"You!" The middle-aged woman who had been shouting stood up angrily, "Twenty-two thousand credits!" β
"Twenty-two thousand credits for the first timeβ"
"Twenty-three thousand credits!"
"Twenty-four thousand!"
The more the two quarreled, the more courageous they became, and they deeply quarreled the price to 30,000 credits.
"The two of them are rivals?" Mu Rong saw that the two of them were sitting next to the man in the middle, and they didn't look like each other, it should be the genuine card and the outer room, but now the two are bidding against each other to raise the price so high, isn't it stupid that the man in the middle doesn't stop it?
"Look at the look in the man among them." Gu He'an pointed to the man in the middle of the two women.
Mu Rong looked in the direction he pointed and found that the face of the man between the two women had really changed, no wonder, 10,000 credit points was enough for a family of three to save money for a few years, but now he was thrown out by two women in order to fight for a breath, and it was also appropriate to change his face.
