In a place like this, the activities that are carried out on weekdays should be more bloody, right...
Ye Chen came to the glass, looked at the empty auction table below, and showed a wry smile.
Although he knew that this kind of behavior was illegal, Ye Chen only came to participate in the auction after all.
It has nothing to do with what the owner here wants to do with this place.
It has nothing to do with him what kind of mood the guests who entered this room before him came here with.
"Please come in!"
Just as Ye Chen was sighing secretly, the door behind him was opened again, and a woman wearing a parrot mask nodded lightly to the waiter, and then stepped into the room.
"Hello!"
Ye Chen greeted her.
"Ah! Hello, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you in advance..."
"Miss Parrot" seemed to be startled, and quickly bowed to Ye Chen.
"No...it's okay. After all, the light here is very dark, so it's normal that you didn't notice me."
Perhaps in order to conceal the true identity of the guests as much as possible, the lighting here is quite dim, and large shadows become the main color in the room.
Most of the lights were moved to the auction table, perhaps to allow customers to see the auction items more clearly.
"Is this your first time attending an auction?"
Miss Parrot came to Ye Chen's side, looked at the auction table under her and asked softly.
"Why do you ask?"
Ye Chen turned around and asked.
"No...it's just rare to see men participating in auctions..."
"Because most of them either fail the test or simply give up and come in. People like you are somewhat rare..."
"Is he a stupid young man who doesn't know anything, or a kid from a rich family looking for fun."
There was a hint of smile in Ye Chen's tone.
"You want to know which side I'm on, right?"
"No...I didn't mean that...if it makes you unhappy, then I will apologize!"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, the girl seemed quite nervous and quickly lowered her head to apologize.
"No, it's okay. You're right. This is indeed my first time attending an auction here."
"And it's true that he failed to pass the so-called test."
"But it did teach me a lesson. You have to do your homework before doing anything. Otherwise, you will have to be tricked and suffer the consequences."
Miss Parrot lowered her head and laughed softly.
"You're right!"
…
The two continued chatting on the sofa for a while, and soon, several spotlights were lit.
All the lights shone on the auction table, and a graceful woman slowly walked out of the shadows on the side of the arena.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Ye Chen could feel it.
This person is the woman who ran into her room yesterday!
The auctioneer looked towards the room above her head and showed a sweet smile. Several giant screens hanging above her head showed all the expressions on her face to everyone's eyes.
Ye Chen finally confirmed that she was indeed the young lady who came to his room yesterday!
"I'm very sorry to keep you waiting for so long! But please believe me!"
"Everyone's wait today is definitely worth it. If you want to ask why..."
"Every item auctioned by Japanese trading houses today is a priceless treasure!"
"First of all... there are three thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum in a box in Changbai Mountain. Each one is a treasure in the world. This one is unique!"
"Our firm has conducted appraisals in advance and they are all authentic!"
"The base price is - five million!"
…
As expected of an underground auction house in the capital, both the quality of the items and the auctioneers are top-notch.
It's a pity that Ye Chen is not very interested in these so-called treasures.
To use Ye Chen's own words.
"Although these things are rare, as long as you are willing to spend money, most of them can be purchased."
"In this world, as long as it can be bought with money, it is not a rare thing."
However, in order to prevent others from seeing his true purpose, he would still occasionally press the button next to him when some insignificant items appeared, and symbolically throw out his price.
Ye Chen yawned slightly and glanced at the person next to him from the corner of his eye.
Miss Parrot beside her, she didn't seem to be attending the auction at all.
Although she had been staring at the big screen attentively from the beginning as one auction item after another flashed by, she had not even announced a price from beginning to end.
If we rule out the possibility that she is the seller of the auction item, then it is basically certain.
Like herself, she came here for the final black wooden box.
"Miss Parrot doesn't seem to be very interested in these auction items..."
Ye Chen decided to take the initiative to see if he could get some information from this woman.
"Ah...did you notice it?"
Miss Parrot smiled sheepishly.
"Actually, to tell you the truth, I only accompanied others to this auction, but it was because of the rules here."
"My companions and I were separated, so we just watched the photos."
Ye Chen nodded.
Although I have doubts in my heart, I cannot rule out the possibility.
"But Mr. Elk is the one. I see that you bid occasionally, but you don't win any of them."
"Don't you think it's a pity?"
The parrot turned to look at Ye Chen and asked.
"Ah... Hahaha... This is my first time to participate in this kind of auction, so I am a little unprepared."
"So my failure to successfully bid can be considered my own mistake."
"Miss Parrot, don't take it to heart!"
However, it was obvious that Ye Chen's words failed to completely convince the other party.
On the contrary, Ye Chen could feel full of suspicion from the sight behind the other person's mask.
"Mr. Elk, let me tell you my guess!"
"I hope you won't be angry..."
The girl stared at Ye Chen and spoke slowly.
"Would you... I mean if! Could you be here for that black wooden box too?"
Women are such troublesome things!
Ye Chen was secretly speechless in his heart. If he had known better, he shouldn't have taken the initiative to talk nonsense.
Now, on the contrary, I have fallen into a passive position.
"Ha, haha, hahaha..."
Helpless, Ye Chen could only hope to pretend to be stupid, hoping to get over it.
"Box?! What black wooden box? Does Miss Parrot know what the next auction item will be?"
The girl nodded.
"The news about this kind of thing should have been released long before the auction, right?"
"Since this is Mr. Elk's first time to participate, he passed the test without a doubt."
"Obviously, the items in the back are more expensive. Why on earth do you continue to stay here if you didn't even succeed in bidding on the items in the front?!"
"To increase your knowledge?"
She shook her head slightly.
"I take it you are not that kind of person, right?"
