"I'm glad you think so," said the old man approvingly, "and that means...... You're still aware of the 'big picture'!"

"Praise!" the skeleton said with a wry smile, "I'm just innocent...... I just want to 'understand' the world!"

"Yes - know the world......! Until you have mastered it completely!" the skeleton whispered in his heart, filled with infinite passion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Really?" said the old man thoughtfully, but did not suspect anything, but said with satisfaction, "There are indeed too many mysteries in this world—the process of understanding them...... It does make a lot of sense!"

The skeleton was noncommittal, and said directly to the point: "How long can we stay in the venue of the Langya Society?" - this is very important, and it is related to the time limit for my strength to recover!"

"Well—it's really hard to say!" the old man frowned, "because this is the first time I've participated in this 10,000-year event, and I don't know much about the process......!" According to the previous rules of the Langya Society, I would like to ...... It will take at least three days for this auction to end!"

"Three days?—...... How long will it take to regain strength?" the skeleton continued.

"This ...... If you look at it according to the situation of ordinary people, it will take about half a month!" said the old man with some hesitation, "but if you evaluate it according to the strength you have shown before--I think...... It will take at least ten days!"

"Ten days?—how is this enough!" The skeleton was really "in a hurry" at this time, and couldn't help but say helplessly, "This little bit of time...... It's not enough for me to recover!--Think about it, is there a way to restore my strength more quickly?"

"If you add some accessories...... I think it could be shortened a little longer!--but...... It's still going to take a cycle!" the old man said in thought, "perhaps...... You can also try to rent the venue of the Langya Club for a while-but...... Even then it will only be possible to delay it for another two days!"

"So...... So there's still not enough time?" asked the skeleton hesitantly, "then...... How many days are left?"

"A cycle is seven days—minus the three days of the auction, and the result is obvious, naturally there are still two days left!" the old man looked at the skeleton strangely, and asked with some confusion, "Do you want to ...... You don't even know that a cycle is seven days, do you?--you...... I really don't know what to say about you! If it weren't for the fact that I knew that the chronology of our Terrans was the same as that of the alien races of the past, I am afraid ...... I wonder where you came from!"

"You're laughing!" the skeleton smiled a little reluctantly, "I'...... But it's a real Terran!--it's just ...... I'm really bad at the so-called 'common sense'!"

"I can prove it!" said Andrea, who came out to "testify" on behalf of the skeleton, "he is indeed very bad at common sense, because he has spent all his energy on building up his strength, so ...... I don't know much about some ordinary information!...... He would always ask a little ...... Belch...... What about the slightly 'mediocre' problem! So, he will never be alien......! If the alien cultivators want to re-understand this land ruled by our human race, they should ...... You won't send such a novice out, will you?"

In order to save the skeleton's face, Andrea stubbornly replaced the word "mentally retarded" with the word "mediocre".

"Of course I knew he couldn't be alien - after all...... He doesn't have the 'wild' aura of an alien race!" the old man glanced at Andrea angrily, and said with a somewhat speechless smile, "Alien race...... It's easy for a 'giant' like us to recognize - some ordinary brave people with a keen sense can already feel the strong aura emanating from the alien race, let alone someone like me who has reached the level of a 'giant'!"

"It's also -- it's easy to recognize! How can I be a so-called alien?" the skeleton breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the question of the "alien" would continue to be discussed, so he hurriedly pulled the conversation away, "Now...... The most important thing we need to think about is whether we can delay it for another two days!"

"It's hard -- two days...... I'm afraid we won't be able to wait so easily!" the old man said worriedly, "Once Langya is gone, I think...... Those guys can't wait to block our way - without access to the passageway, I think...... It's hard for us to escape their pursuit!"

"In that case—it's only time to stall!" the skeleton said decisively, after a moment's thought, "as long as each auction item can be extended to double the auction time, then I think ...... Isn't that more than enough time?--As for the rest of the time...... Just let me summon my minions by the way!"

"But...... How can we extend it?" the old man seemed very unconfident about this, and "mended" a skeleton by the way, "In addition, I want to make it clear that there is no information coming from the Green Tower!"

"You don't need to worry about that!" the skeleton smiled confidently, "as long as my strength can be restored - the teleportation...... It's a breeze!"

"Is that so?" Although the old man was still a little hesitant, he did not "pour cold water" on it again, but gave enough trust to it, "Perhaps...... You might have a special way to do it - at least...... If it's just to deliver information, there should still be forces that can do it......! It's not an uncommon thing!"

"Yes...... How can we extend the auction time?—that's the most important thing!" the old man asked again with a headache, "anyway...... I can't think of any effective way to do this - you know, Langya will ...... That's not an ordinary force, and if we want them to follow our wishes, I'm afraid ...... It's hard!" (To be continued.) )
