Chapter III Auctions

Lu Mingfei got up, stretched, and then opened his eyes, and when he saw Lu Mingze in front of him, he couldn't help frowning: "It's early in the morning, can't you give me a little pleasant experience?" ”

"Hey, if it's okay, I don't want to disturb my brother's interest." Lu Mingze smiled mysteriously and said, "The main thing is that something will happen today, so I came to inform you so that nothing goes wrong." ”

"Something is going on? What's the matter? Lu Mingfei asked.

"There will be an important event for you to participate in in a while, and you will need money, but I know that you are a poor dog, so I am ready to lend you some money." ”

"No need." Lu Mingfei decisively refused.

"Don't?" Lu Mingze was a little surprised.

"You also know that I'm a poor dog, I still owe money in my card, I won't borrow money anymore, and I can't afford to pay it back anyway, so I'm a student, give it to me for free, right?" Lu Mingfei showed the face of a white prostitute.

"It's not that it can't be considered." Lu Mingze said.

This time it was Lu Mingfei's turn to be surprised, and he glanced at Lu Mingze vigilantly: "So kind? You? ”

"Me." Lu Mingze smiled slightly, his smile was as pure as morning dew, so that people couldn't hate him even if they knew that he had a bad stomach.

"In this world, only I am always with you of one heart, because ...... You're my brother. Lu Mingze said and stretched out his hand and gently touched Lu Mingfei's forehead.

Lu Mingfei felt a warm current flowing into his body from Lu Mingze's palm, and there was a familiar and natural touch, as if he had experienced it tens of thousands of times in a dream.

"I'm a gamer. I know a saying, 'free is the most expensive', so what is the price," Lu Mingfei looked at Lu Mingze and said seriously, "Brother? ”

"Don't worry about that, brother." Lu Mingze withdrew his hand and glanced at Lu Mingfei deeply, with an inexplicable smile on his face, "I have already paid the price for you." ”

Lu Mingfei looked at Lu Mingze, and stopped talking.

"This time, the temporary message is, 'Show me the money.'" This cheat must be familiar to you, using it increases 10,000 ore and gas at a time, so the effect of this spirit is to increase your property by 10,000 dollars, which can be reused. Lu Mingze said.

"We'll see you again soon, brother. Someone at the front desk left you a letter, I brought it for you, no thanks. ”

Lu Mingze faded and disappeared as usual, and Lu Mingfei really woke up.

The warm morning light shines through the white gauze curtains and shines in the hotel room, there is a very spiritual feeling, Chu Zihang beside him has already left, leaving only a depression that he has been lying on, and Xia Mi's bed is empty, the quilt is not folded, and it is messy.

Xia Mi's white cotton pajamas were placed on the back of the chair, and a post-it note was also pasted: "Senior Brother Mingfei, we went out in advance and ordered you a Chinese breakfast, which is fried tofu brain!" "The inscription is a stick figure of a cat's head.

There was Xia Mi's breakfast in the dining car not far away, Lu Mingfei opened the lid, and it was really a Chinese breakfast, two fried fried fritters, a bowl of tofu brain and a few small side dishes, Lu Mingfei tasted it, and the taste was as authentic and delicious as the appearance, Lu Mingfei was so moved that he wanted to cry, he really lived a good life!

After eating breakfast, Lu Mingfei found a pale yellow envelope next to the dining table, and the envelope was written in beautiful flowers, "To:RicardoΒ· MΒ·Lu”。

Lu Mingfei opened the envelope and began to read the contents.

β€œDear Ricardo:

This is a mission email, please go downstairs as soon as you receive this email, there is a black Maserati sedan waiting for you in front of the hotel, Illinois license plate, the license plate number is 'CAS001', the mission details will be told to you by the people in the car. ”

Lu Mingfei checked the anti-counterfeiting signature at the checkout office and sighed, the last time he saw this kind of signature was on the transcript that he couldn't quite get his hands on, and the good day ended with receiving the task from the college.

Lu Mingfei left a note for Chu Zihang and Xia Mi, and then ran out of the hotel, and at first glance saw the black Maserati parked on the side of the road in front of the hotel.

Lu Mingfei looked into the car, thinking about who the people in the car were so stylish, driving a famous car like Maserati on business, and I didn't know which big man in the academy it was.

Is it a cold executive senior? Or is it a beautiful predecessor in the executive department who is as beautiful as a flower? Lu Mingfei couldn't help but fall into reverie.

The door popped open, and Lu Mingfei got into it with agility, and now it's time for the answer to be revealed!

When I raised my eyes, it was a black top-of-the-line custom suit, shiny Italian leather shoes, greased hair that could be used as a mirror, and the red rose on my chest.

"Headmaster!" Lu Mingfei's eyes were about to pop out, "You are also trapped in Chicago by the strike?" ”

"Hello, Mingfei, this mission is our sincere cooperation." Ange smiled at Lu Mingfei and raised his glass, holding a cigar with light smoke between his other fingers.

"I was going to an auction, so I was going to stay in Chicago for two days, and I just happened to go on strike." Ange casually picked up a copy of the document and handed it to Lu Mingfei, "Sotheby, one of the best auction houses in the world, is an important circulation place for all kinds of art. ”

Lu Mingfei flipped through the information in his hand, only glanced at it and put it down, his hand trembled a little, the starting price of the auction items on it was not lower than six figures, he couldn't see this kind of game of rich people squandering money, which would always remind him that he was a poor ghost.

"So...... Is this auction house our mission targeted? Lu Mingfei asked.

The executive department is by no means a good type, and it can be seen from the information of Chu Zihang that they have done a lot of illegal things, and this time the task may be to rob the auction house and raise funds for the academy, these words Lu Mingfei did not declare, but his eyes when he looked at the principal revealed a little bit of thought.

"Hahaha!" Ange laughed, "Don't worry, the academy is not as unscrupulous as you think, our target is not that auction house, we are there to participate in the auction." ”

"Going to an auction?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, why did he choose to participate in this kind of mission? He, Lu Mingfei, is not covered with such a high-class term as auction.

"There's nothing on the profile that we're interested in." Ange took a puff on his cigar and explained, "We're going to participate in a 'targeted auction,' which is an auction where only certain customers are invited, and often there is something unknown in this kind of auction, well, something like a so-called 'black market auction'." ”

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief, he understood now, they were going to participate in a gray auction this time, this is the mission style of the executive department, but in order to confirm that the content of the task is really not black and black, he still asked: "So...... Our job is to go to the bidding? ”

"Of course," Ange laughed, "I go to the auction to auction things." ”

"That's good, that's good," Lu Mingfei's heart finally put into his stomach, "Headmaster, you continue." ”

"The directional auction is actually a place where the academy regularly exchanges treasures, and we often find treasures from some unpopular collections." "It's the same this time. ”

"And what was the task assigned to me?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"What you're going to do is play as a new buyer, and there's something in this auction that we want to borrow your hand to auction." Ange handed Lu Mingfei a plug-in wireless earbud, "The task is very simple, just do what I instructed, one thing to remember is that you and I don't know each other at the auction." ”

"But I don't know anything about it," Lu Mingfei said, "Is it appropriate to give me this task?" ”

"It's appropriate if you don't know how to do it." Ange said, "It's easy for people to see through if you don't know how to pretend to understand and if you don't know how to pretend to understand, and it's just right that you don't understand it." ”

"And if you don't know how to learn, you can learn once and twice again, and the college will provide you with a variety of learning opportunities." Speaking of this, Ange took a deep puff on his cigar and was silent for a few seconds, "You are now the only 'S' rank of the new generation of the Academy, maybe you don't know it, but many people have high hopes for you, and more people are watching your every move, so you must learn more, at least as soon as possible while me and the Night's Watch can still maintain this Academy...... Because time is running out. ”

"Time is running out?" Lu Mingfei had never heard such a statement, and he felt that there was a strong sense of depression in the old guy's words.

"I was one of the first members of the Lionheart, and I lived through the twentieth century." "At my age, how long do you think I'll live?" ”

Lu Mingfei was speechless, if he calculated carefully, the principal was actually an old guy who had lived for more than one hundred and thirty years, and he still smoked and drank alcohol and traveled around by the way, and he could also make two moves with the Dragon King by the way, such an old monster talked about the serious topic of death with you, and there was a strong sense of disobedience, and I vaguely felt that maybe such a conversation was staged more than ten or twenty years ago.

The old guy took the last puff of his cigar, popped the cigarette butt out the window, held the steering wheel with one hand, and stepped on the accelerator to the end, and the black Maserati suddenly galloped out like a shark and plunged into the traffic.

Lu Mingfei was instantly pressed on the seat by a strong inertia, and couldn't help but silently complain in his heart that the tradition of Kassel Academy was really crooked at the top and bottom, Chu Zihang was reversing at a speed of sixty kilometers per hour on the highway, and Ange, as the principal, could only say that Jiang was still old and spicy, driving with one hand while drinking, and driving at a speed of one hundred and twenty kilometers per hour casually, that posture was not like running on the highway, like driving on Huangquan Road.

"Headmaster...... Drunk driving is a ...... in China It's going to have your driver's license revoked! If it's serious, you'll go to jail! Lu Mingfei reminded tremblingly.

"It's about the same in the United States." "I didn't have a driver's license when I learned to drive, so no one was going to renew it. ”

"Driving without a license doesn't have to be said so proudly, Headmaster!" Maserati is still accelerating, Lu Mingfei's tears are about to soar out, this feeling is like the first time I went to an amusement park to take a pirate ship when I was a child, that thing can't bring the slightest sense of security with a simple horizontal bar, even if you catch it, you will feel like you are about to be ejected by inertia, it can be said that it is much more terrifying than a roller coaster, "Principal, I'm still young!" I still want to live a good life! ”

"Yes, you're still young, but I don't know how much time I have left, so ...... As an old man who is dying, what can't I do? Ange smiled, "Young man, enjoy the joy of drag racing!" ”

Ange gulped down the ice wine in his glass, then laughed and shifted the gear to the dreading "Supersport" mode.

When the Maserati stopped on the speed bump on the side of the road, Lu Mingfei took the handkerchief handed to him by Ange, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and even felt a little weak when he got out of the car, this experience is much more exciting than the roller coaster, the roller coaster is running on the prescribed route, and the principal drives directly in the traffic snakeskin, which can be called a race against the Grim Reaper, and the result is that the Grim Reaper is slightly inferior, and the Maserati who did not outrun the principal.

"So the mission is about to begin, are you ready?" Ange handed Lu Mingfei a cigar encapsulated in an aluminum tube, which was the prop that Lu Mingfei was going to use in this role-play.

"Ready, my name is Lu Mingfei, I'm a nouveau riche, a local dog, because I want to chase a girl from an art academy and prepare to cultivate a little artistic taste, so it's the first time to participate in this kind of awesome auction, and the goal this time is to collect some good things and put them in my waterscape mansion!" Lu Mingfei replied fluently, "But there is a problem, I can't smoke cigars, and I can't smoke cigarettes." ”

"As I said, it's not a problem to know nothing, it's more in line with your identity, you just have to hold it, a Cuban cigar for fifty dollars, it doesn't matter if you can't smoke it, use it to reflect your worth, this is the style of the nouveau riche."

"It's really a nouveau riche." Lu Mingfei took a cigar in his mouth, looked for the feeling like his uncle, and nodded.

"So you are the most suitable for this task, you should be better at playing the nouveau riche in the academy."

"The headmaster is really accurate." Lu Mingfei nodded, not ashamed at all.

Ange handed over an envelope: "Inside is your invitation, take it and don't lose it." The mission fund is two million, because it requires a deposit of two million dollars to participate in the auction, and Norma opens an account with you in a bank in Zurich, and there are two million in it, which will be taken away after the mission is over. ”

"It's okay, I don't care about how long it lasts, I only care about what I once had." Lu Mingfei said, "Headmaster, I have a lot more confidence when you say this!" ”
