Mo Yuxuan, a large-scale auction held every five years, starts on the same day.
The four girls walked out chatting and laughing, and saw Lando who was already enjoying breakfast in the restaurant.
Claire raised her eyebrows and asked jokingly: "Junior Lando, have you finished your realization?"
Lando wiped the corners of his mouth, nodded and said calmly: "I gained a little."
"Really?!" Claire didn't believe it.
In her opinion, the nonsense that Lando suddenly realized yesterday was clearly an excuse for not wanting to go shopping with them, and these three silly women around him were willing to be deceived.
Lando smiled slightly and asked without further explanation, "Miss Claire, what is Mo Yuxuan's finale? Can you tell me?"
Claire didn't hesitate, shrugged and said: "I can only tell you that there is indeed the full-color extraordinary material you want, and I don't know the specifics."
Lando said helplessly: "Aren't you afraid of missing the buyers you really want by doing this? This is not what businessmen do."
Claire's expression suddenly turned serious, and she even said with a certain sense of oppression: "You have to know that there is endless money in this world. At our level, if you can't convert it into what you want,
What’s the use of having more money?”
"The strongest ones in the world are always those who set the rules. Now, Mo Yuxuan has set the rules for hidden shooting. If others want to know in advance what the final item is, they need to ask me. This is a relationship, even if
It’s just an insignificant trace, but it’s enough to have a profound impact!”
"Well, this is what my father answered me when I asked him a similar question before!"
Lando looked solemn, "Successful people have different thoughts and opinions."
It’s really interesting to be able to turn information about the finale auction items that should have been publicly known into a ‘favor deal’!
Lando said with emotion: "Uncle's words are worth a thousand pieces of gold!"
Claire chuckled and said, "I really don't know if you are confident or narcissistic!"
Lando asked doubtfully: "How do you say that?"
Claire suppressed her smile and said seriously: "My father said that to ordinary people, the above words are nonsense. It can neither improve their office efficiency nor make the boss pay more wages; but if someone listens to it,
If you feel enlightened after these words, then either he is extremely confident and feels that one day he can become a rule maker, or he is extremely narcissistic and does not have a clear understanding of himself!"
"Junior Lando, I wonder what kind of person you are?"
Lando said calmly: "I examine myself three times every day. My understanding of myself has always been very clear."
"You are really..." Claire shook her head with a smile, obviously not taking Lando's words seriously, and even the conversation just now seemed to her a joke.
"By the way, I want you to know that our Cantu family has an ancestral motto, which is called 'Everything you give will have a response!'. In other words, even if Xiaoxin, who is a close friend of mine, comes to me to inquire about information, it is
You need to owe me a favor!"
Whatever you give, there will be a response?
Not a reward, but an echo!
Seeing that Lando didn't respond and didn't seem to understand what he meant, Claire continued: "In other words, this time Xiaoxin did it for..."
"Claire!" Nalan Xin yelled, trying to interrupt her friend's subsequent words.
But Claire said as if she didn't realize it: "...For your sake, you owe me a huge favor!"
Seeing Lando's gaze, Nalanxin seemed to have a blush on her face, but she did not dodge, but said openly: "Don't listen to Claire's nonsense, she is so kind.
, she just asked me to treat her to a meal."
"What?!" Claire suddenly said in shock: "The favors I earned from all my busy work are only enough for one meal?!"
Nalanxin looked at her friend helplessly and asked, "Then what else do you want?"
Claire said proudly: "At least...two meals are enough!"
She knew her friend was teasing her, but Nalanxin couldn't do anything like chase and fight.
Lan Meng watched this scene with a smile the whole time, wishing that she could become a more invisible and transparent person!
Nalankui's eyes were rolling around, not knowing what she was thinking.
The scene in front of him made Lando feel a little dazed. There once seemed to be a sincere and pure emotion in front of him, but as time went by and as he walked farther and farther, that emotion was exhausted at some point.
.
For Lando, although he has had many women, his real emotional experience... is almost zero!
If every reincarnation counts as a lifetime, then Lando can be said to have been a bachelor for several lifetimes since he has lived until now!
He could naturally see that both Nalanxin and Nalankui had a crush on him, and he could also see that Claire was trying to help his best friend break up the relationship.
As Claire's ancestral precepts say, whatever you give, there will be a response!
Only when you let others know what you have done for them can they understand your painstaking efforts.
It is valuable to give silently, but it is also easy to fall into the eternal cycle of "you listen to my explanation and I just don't listen".
Lando has no intention of resisting this relationship, just let it take its course!
…………
When Lando came to the antique building with the Mo Yuxuan plaque carved on it, his expression was very strange.
The entire Mo Yuxuan occupies a large area, but its periphery is mostly landscaped with courtyards, hills and flowing water, and is located in the middle of a busy city. It has a transcendent artistic conception of tranquility amidst the chaos, and a leisurely feeling where everyone is drunk and I am alone.
.
After entering the depths of the courtyard and reaching the main body of Mo Yuxuan, I suddenly realized that it was just a three-story building?!
This is an octagonal tower, and every tile is delicately carved.
The overall look is not luxurious, but it has a long-lasting charm.
wrong!
Lando noticed something strange and carefully looked at Mo Yuxuan in front of him again.
He caught a strange, vaguely familiar wave.
this is……
A secret space like a dimensional pocket?
Claire smiled and said: "This is the entrance to Mo Yuxuan. There is one in every city in Fengyixing! Let's go, count the time, the auction is about to start."
Five people entered the octagonal tower.
The halo of light in front of my eyes suddenly became wider.
The sky is blue, the clouds are misty, and the grass is luxuriant under the feet. In the distance are a circle of neatly arranged small rooms. In the center of the room is a huge metal platform. The overall look has a natural, simple and harmonious beauty.
Lando saw people walking out of the hazy mist in the distance from time to time, and then heading towards the small room.
"Let's go too." Claire said.
After a while, several people came to a room numbered 147.
Claire pressed the door gently, and the door opened immediately.
The entire room is only twenty square meters in size, with five sofas and corresponding small tables.
Although the place is not big, it is more than enough for five people.
After entering, the door is closed and the surrounding walls become transparent.
The kind where you can see the outside from the inside, but can't see the inside from the outside.
Claire said: "Our room is the smallest. Look at the center circle."
A few people looked around and saw ten huge luxurious rooms with obviously unusual paintings right outside the metal platform.
"It is specially prepared by the ten merchant alliances for themselves and their top distinguished guests. Of course, many of the distinguished guests who are qualified to enter do not want to be in the limelight. Most of them would rather go to a more ordinary room."
The rooms at the auction are also particular. Numbers 1 to 10 are the top rooms, numbers 11 to 100 are deluxe rooms, and numbers 100 and above are ordinary rooms.
The five of them found random places to sit down.
Claire said: "There is a service menu on the table, just order whatever you need."
Lando tapped the desktop lightly, and a virtual menu appeared.
There is a dazzling array of food and drinks, and a wide variety of services.
Lando casually ordered a cup of tea, and immediately what he ordered appeared on the table in front of him from scratch.
"Is this... teleportation?" Lando asked doubtfully.
Claire tilted her head and said hesitantly: "Probably...right."
After chatting for a while, it seemed that it was time for the auction to start, and a burst of colorful light shot into the sky from the metal platform.
This scene attracted everyone's attention.
At the same time, almost all the small rooms soared into the sky at this moment, forming circles in the air around the metal platform.
Only three of the ten largest and most luxurious rooms were raised, and they undoubtedly occupied the highest place!
The room where Lando and the others were located was just in the middle, and the viewing angle was very good.
Claire smiled proudly and said: "Flying high does not mean that the location is good! How about it? I chose this numbered room carefully!"
The transparent wall can not only adjust the distance of sight, but also project the appearance of the auction item in the room at any time, allowing buyers to view the details of the auction item at any time.
The colorful light soaring into the sky suddenly began to converge, and the originally ordinary metal platform seemed to have turned into a grand stage.
Finally, the colorful light condensed and transformed into a figure dressed in exaggerated and gorgeous clothes.
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to come and participate in my Mo Yuxuan's large-scale auction. I am everyone's favorite Michael!"
The gorgeous figure introduced herself like this.
Lando:......
He originally thought that Mo Yuxuan, who looked so brilliant and restrained, would be the host of the auction, elegant and humble.
I didn't expect it to be so... exciting!
Next it's Mr. Michael's performance time.
He even sang a rock song in front of so many important people!
Needless to say, it’s quite touching!
This Michael should be practicing the kind of genre that can mobilize emotions through sound, and he has profound attainments!
After listening to this rock song, Lando felt that his consciousness was extremely active, and his spirit became slightly excited.
When the song ended, Michael waved his hand, and the grand stage turned into bubbles and disappeared.
"Everyone, the happy time is always so short. Next, let's get to the main topic of today!"
While talking, a column with two people hugging each other rose up from the center of the metal platform, and an object covered with black velvet emerged from scratch on the column.
"Then, let's see what the first items in this auction will be!"
After finishing speaking, Michael peeled off the black velvet cloth, revealing a metal cage underneath. Inside the cage was a small metal beast that was as big as an adult's hand and looked like both a cat and a dog.
"Haha, look what I saw, this is actually a silicon-based life form!"
Michael opened the cage, and the little metal beast obediently followed his arm and climbed onto his shoulder, looking very docile.
"It's actually silicon-based metal life?" Lando said to himself in surprise.
In the dimensional universe, civilization is as splendid as flowers, and so is life.
But looking at the entire universe, carbon-based life is still dominant, and other types of life... are extremely rare!
Take the silicon-based metal life forms in front of us as an example. They can even lurk in mineral veins for thousands of years, without making any movements, eating, or consuming for tens of thousands of years. Even if intelligent life mines their bodies and breaks them apart,
They will also face 'death' calmly!
Carbon-based life cannot find a way to communicate with silicon-based life, and it is even more difficult to detect them.
But if you want to say how precious these things are, that’s not the case. They are just a feature...rare!
Moreover, silicon-based life forms are extremely malleable and can turn into cool things with a little cultivation and transformation.
Think about it, wouldn't it be very cool to turn it into a Tyrannosaurus rex or Godzilla and then ride it swaggering through the city?
Even if you can’t carry this ferocious mount in the city, it would be nice to turn it into a retro Harley-Davidson motorcycle or a suspended sports car. After arriving at the destination, the car will turn back into a metal beast and follow you closely!
Of course, as a rare creature, this is the end of it. Although it is not impossible to cultivate it to the point of flying into the void of the universe, the effort and reward are far from worth it!
This silicon-based metal life has obviously undergone preliminary training, otherwise it would not have become an image that humans can easily accept, let alone interact with Michael.
"Look at this cute little guy, he's so adorable. The key is...rare, rare! So, let me see, who is willing to take this little guy home next?"
"A cute little beast, the low price is... one million stars, each increase cannot be less than 10,000 stars, then the bidding... begins!"
"one million!"
"One million and a half million!"
"One million and one million!"
…
There are obviously many people interested in this silicon-based metal life form, but it is not difficult to understand that this kind of thing is already a quite top-notch luxury product.
Those limited-edition sports cars and custom-made cars are simply inferior compared to them.
When the price for Room 228 was 3.5 million, the bidding basically stopped.
"No. 228 bids 3.5 million stars. So, is there a higher price? If not, this cute and charming rare beast will be taken away by No. 228!"
Lan Meng saw that Lando seemed to be interested, so he couldn't help but ask: "My good nephew, do you want it?"
Lando nodded, shook his head and said, "I'm a little interested, but I won't waste a penny until I buy full-color extraordinary materials."
"Tsk!~" Lan Meng shook her head regretfully after hearing this. She actually wanted to raise one.
"Three and a half million for the first time!"
"Three and a half million for the second time!"
"Three and a half millionth..."
Just when Michael was about to shout the third deal, a voice interrupted him.
"Three, six million!"
"Oh!~" Michael said with a surprised expression: "No. 73 bids 3.6 million, so, is there anything higher?!"
This price seemed to exceed No. 228's expectations, and he did not bid again.
In the end, there was no surprise. This little silicon-based metal life beast was bought by No. 73 for 3.6 million!
