Chapter 138: The Auction
Lu Huayin and the three of them rested for a few more days, and they didn't go out again in the past few days.
Someone in the middle came to look for them, and it was the leader of a female mercenary team that had a common experience with them before.
She came over to invite Lu Huayin and the three of them to join her team.
However, Lu Huayin simply rejected her proposal, first, they couldn't stay here for too long, and second, joining other mercenary teams was not as free as now.
"Okay, but if you change your mind, you can always come to me!"
After saying that, the woman swayed and left.
After the episode, Lu Huayin and the three of them re-entered the journey of doing the task.
The Zerg will never be killed, and there is far more than one planet they occupy.
For nearly a month, the three of them soaked in the border battlefield.
Although there was never a first accident in the process of hunting the Zerg, they encountered no less danger.
In the process, they need to face not only the threat of the Zerg, but also the framing of fellow humans.
The first time they encountered this kind of thing, the shock it brought to them was indescribable.
It's all like this, why do people still think about infighting, and everyone can't be unanimous with the outside world.
It's a pity that those people's thoughts are beyond her comprehension.
After earning enough points, the three returned to the Mercenary Guild with an injury.
This time, the three of them can successfully upgrade to the bronze level with points.
Rita was even happier, she had a really good eye this time.
There are too many surprises that these girls have brought to themselves.
Lu Huayin's squad is upgraded to the bronze level, so her status in the Mercenary Guild will also increase accordingly.
In the future, she no longer has to worry that she will lose her job at any time, even if the team she leads is not good in the future, then she can be arranged to other jobs.
Rita, who is high-spirited in her career, treats Lu Huayin and them even more dedicatedly, and when she gets that there is an auction about to start, she immediately passes the news to them.
"Auction?"
Lu Huayin was puzzled. She's only heard of auctions when she's grown up, but she's never been to it.
I heard Li Bo say that people from major families like to participate in some charity auctions to improve their family's reputation.
But those auctions were all about calligraphy, paintings, jewelry, and things like that.
The Lu family has received many invitations to auctions, but few people have attended.
In the past, when Wang Jing was not kicked out of the Lu family, her favorite thing was to participate in these banquets, auctions and other activities on behalf of the Lu family.
Later, she was kicked out of the Lu family, and she rarely had the opportunity to participate.
Li Bo also gave Lu Huayin an invitation, but she was usually very busy, and she didn't have time to attend these boring banquets at all.
Besides, even if their Lu family descendants don't participate, there will be side lines to participate.
So whether she goes or not, it has no impact on the family's reputation.
But she didn't think that the auction here would be the same as the one at home, knowing that there were five black stars here.
It's an evil planet of sin and darkness, and there's no telling what will happen at auction.
Thinking about it, she instantly became interested in this auction.
"Yes, it's an auction."
Rita nodded.
"This auction is held once every six months, and any auction item in it can appear."
Rita explained the origin of the auction,
It turned out that this auction was not held by the Mercenary Guild.
The auction was held by another organization on the Five Black Stars, and its name was Juyuan Auction House.
The name is nice, but this organization is not a good thing.
But now Lu Huayin doesn't know the specific face of the auction, although she can guess a rough idea, but it's not that she hasn't seen it with her own eyes.
After listening to Rita's words, Lu Huayin asked suspiciously: "Since the auction is held by this big organization, then we should not be qualified to participate." ”
They are just a small team of mercenaries, how can they be eligible to participate in the auction.
"Naturally, I don't have the qualifications to enter the private room, but I can still get an invitation to the hall."
Rita says it's not a problem.
Anyway, she has also been in the Mercenary Guild for so many years, and she still has some connections.
Originally, this was her last retreat, but now that her career is taking off, there is naturally no need for retreat.
In this case, it is better to give it away as a favor.
These three girls are not ordinary people at first glance, and it is good that I can brush up on their favorability here.
Everyone said so, of course Lu Huayin understood what she meant, so she didn't refuse Rita's kindness.
"Thank you, if we don't leave, you can always come to us if you have something in the future."
The short conversation instantly narrowed the distance between them, and the eyes of the two of them looking at each other became much more sincere.
The news was expressed in place, and Rita said a few more words to Lu Huayin before leaving.
As soon as the people left, Tao Yuan came over curiously and asked what they had said.
"What did you say, and how do you feel happy?"
There was a noticeable smile on her face than before.
"It's nothing, it's just that she said there's an auction in a few days, and we can go over and have a look at it then."
"Auction!"
"I've never been to an auction before."
Lu Huayin has never been to it, let alone Tao Yuan, where he was born as an orphan.
Not only had she never been before, she hadn't even heard of it.
She can know about the auction, she still heard about it from Lu Huayin.
"It's just right, we can take this opportunity to go over and have a long look."
None of the three had any objections to participating in the auction, and their opinions were quite unanimous.
"But what do we have to prepare for the auction?"
I haven't participated, and Tao Yuan's heart is a little nervous.
Lu Huayin: "You don't need to prepare anything, you just need to bring money." ”
Although she hadn't been there, she still knew a little bit about it.
The auction is mainly based on financial resources, and everything is empty without money.
As soon as these words came out, Tao Yuan instantly covered his small purse.
It was not easy for her to save some money, and at this moment, she had the idea of not going to the auction.
But in the end, curiosity prevailed over everything, and she just didn't buy anything when the time came.
Looking at her appearance, Lu Huayin didn't say anything, she was afraid that she would be disappointed as soon as she spoke.
Let's let Tao Yuan have good expectations for this auction.
Sang Zhi also didn't participate in the auction, but she saw clearly what kind of good things the auction held at the Five Black Stars could be, don't let what they see at that time are all illegal products.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's time for the auction to begin.
In the middle, Rita sent an invitation to the auction, although it was only the location of the hall, but it was also rare.
Because the things auctioned in this auction are relatively special, most of them go to hide their identities.
Only a small number of people have their own strength and have not made any pretense.
Lu Huayin and the three of them dressed up in men's clothes, with masks on their faces, and their voices changed.
When I arrived at the entrance of the auction by car, I saw a lot of people lining up to enter.
The auction occupies a very large area and is honeycomb shaped as a whole.
Most of the people queuing at the door are people who have ordinary invitations like Lu Huayin, and as for the holders of VIP invitations, there are special channels for them to enter.
Not to mention, there are a lot of people who participate in the auction.
Lu Huayin had never seen so many people at the same time since the Five Black Stars came in.
I'm afraid it's not that all the people on the five black stars who have a little money have come over.
She thought about it and felt that it was not impossible.
After all, the main thing about the auction is to make money, how can they give up any wronged person.
Lu Huayin and the three of them just stood in line, and a farce was staged in front of them.
"No way, my invitation definitely can't be fake!" A young man held up the invitation and said incredulously.
"I bought it from someone else at a high price!"
"Don't talk nonsense, we can't tell if it's true or not, get out of the way, don't get in the way!"
The ticket inspector at the door spoke unceremoniously, and even two men in black stepped forward to drive the man away.
"I'm not leaving, my invitation is real!"
The young man shouted hoarsely, clutching at the doorframe.
And the people in black were also unceremoniously, he didn't let go, they directly unloaded his arm, and then unceremoniously threw people away.
The trouble was solved, and the ticket inspectors began to talk to everyone again.
"Okay, let's get rid of the troublemakers, let's go on."
Their thunderous methods frightened most of the people, and the people in the queue did not dare to talk casually, only prayed that they would hurry in.
Because of everyone's cooperation, the speed of checking the invitation was very fast, and it didn't take Lu Huayin's turn after a while.
There are three of them, so they need three invitations.
After all, it is the location of the hall, and an invitation represents a seat.
Rita was very sweet, and she got three invitations that were connected together.
Entering the auction and walking through a long corridor, they arrived at the infield of the auction.
The lights inside are dim, and the atmosphere is very gloomy and depressing.
However, due to the noisy conversation, the gloom has faded a lot.
In the middle of the auction is a raised platform where all the lots are displayed.
There are many seats in a fan-shaped division directly in front of the high platform, which is provided for ordinary guests.
There are many floors above the ordinary seats, and they are all separate private rooms.
Lu Huayin's position is relatively backward, and the vision is not very good.
However, this does not affect her from looking at the lots, because there are also multiple screens in the infield of the auction, which can provide the audience with a 360-degree view of the auction items.
After Lu Huayin and the others sat down, they saw many people coming in one after another.
Half an hour before the auction began, almost all the seats were filled.
"I didn't expect so many people to come to the auction!"
Looking at the dense human heads, Tao Yuan felt a little uncomfortable psychologically.
Silently complaining, she stretched out her head to look around.
Someone next to her saw her dirty bun and secretly sneered.
"Now the auction is getting worse and worse, how can any cat or dog come in."
At first glance, this soil bun is not a person with a backstage, and it is nothing for him to say a few words.
There is no shortage of people in this place to watch the dishes, and Tao Yuan, a newcomer, is the most likely to be bullied.
However, the auction was about to start, and this person didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he just said a few words.
He is like this, and Tao Yuan doesn't know what to say if he wants to fight back, after all, the head of the person has already been turned.
She couldn't run up to him and point at his nose and scold him.
There was no choice but to swallow this sulking.
Lu Huayin looked at Tao Yuan's depressed appearance and was also helpless, they really had no way to deal with this kind of person.
Fortunately, the auction is about to begin, and their attention is diverted.
The auction began, and bright lights shone on the woman who appeared on the high platform.
The woman was wearing a delicate cheongsam, with a graceful figure and a charming appearance, and her soul would be lost at a glance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I'm Wu Ji, the auctioneer of Juyuan Auction House."
As soon as Wu Ji spoke, the men present were even more infatuated with her.
Not only is she charming and charming, but even her voice has a demagogic taste.
Tao Yuan, the least determined, was almost hooked, if it weren't for Lu Huayin's slap on her, I'm afraid her saliva would have flowed out.
"Xiaoyuanzi, what about your appearance, you are actually drooling at a woman."
Although the woman is indeed a little evil, it is not so exaggerated.
Hearing her words, Tao Yuan subconsciously wiped his mouth, and only relieved his heart when he found that there was nothing.
"Boss, you can't blame me for this, you see them, one by one is more excessive than me."
Many of the people present were in a state of obsession and couldn't extricate themselves for a long time.
In the end, a person was not very happy and said: "Wu Ji, every time you use this trick!" ”
Isn't it true that you want to see them make a fool of themselves?
"Huh." Wu Ji covered her mouth and laughed.
"Get used to it, get used to it, forgive me."
He said words of forgiveness, but the tone of Wuhime's voice was still the same as before.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, let's get started!" Someone shouted impatiently.
Wu Ji glanced at the incomprehensible fool with some unhappiness before announcing the start of the auction.
The first lot is very ordinary, it is a low-grade energy dagger.
However, before Wu Ji's wonderful introduction, this dagger was still auctioned by someone else for more than its price.
Then a few more lots were added one after another, all of which were very ordinary things.
The bidders were all seated in the hall, and as for the people in the private room, they didn't make a sound the whole time.
It was still in the early stage of the auction, and Lu Huayin felt that the people in the private room should not have arrived yet.
According to the normal process, they should arrive on the battlefield in the second half of the auction.
As for whether the lot will be missed by mistake, it is impossible, because the auction will make the lot brochure available to them in advance.
The auction continues, and now the lot is not worth much, so one item after another is going quickly.
It hardly takes long for a lot to finish.
Lu Huayin and the three of them didn't buy anything, Lu Huayin himself didn't have anything to be interested in, and Tao Yuan and Sang Zhi were shy because they were in their pockets.
Listening to others increase the price again and again, they realized that they are still very poor!
