Sometimes time flies by like a fleeting moment, and sometimes it is extremely difficult.
The little kid's clone now experienced this feeling of living like a year, looking through the autumn water, and being tormented.
He stared at the clock in the living room eagerly, watching the second and minute hands go around and around...
When the time came to 6:30 in the evening, with only half an hour left before the auction started, his patience finally ran out.
"It's half past six, can we go now?" The kid's clone turned his attention to Alice, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and the impatience in his eyes became more intense.
Alice looked down at her watch in a leisurely manner, then raised her head and said with a smile: "Actually, there is still plenty of time. We went there so early and we were just waiting. I see..."
But facing the little kid's clone's murderous gaze, it seemed as if Alice was going to turn his back immediately if she said the word "no".
Alice's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly remembered that the seemingly harmless young lady in front of her was no ordinary child.
He is not only China's new young master of weapon refining, but also a monk with great strength.
Even Old John of the Casamonica family, a veteran second-level monk who was originally arrogant, could only give up in front of him and surrender.
As a result, Alice had to hold back all the words that came to her mouth. Her strong desire to survive made her change her words in time.
"Hmm...Mr. Wang, I think it's better if we go early. If we go late, we might have to queue up to get in."
"Besides, there are private rooms there, so it's the same as waiting for the auction to start, haha."
After saying that, Alice secretly wiped away the cold sweat and looked at the little boy's clone rather uneasily. It wasn't until she saw that his face softened a little that she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, I'll lead the way."
…
The auction was held on the Freedom of the Seas cruise ship, in a luxurious theater that could accommodate more than a thousand people.
Due to limited seats, not everyone on board is eligible to attend this auction.
Under normal circumstances, each invited guest can only bring one accompanying person to the auction.
Of course, the little kid's clone and others are not included in this.
They can enjoy the independent private rooms prepared by the Refiner's Guild only for the most distinguished guests.
A small private room can accommodate four people, which is more than enough.
After Alice announced the name of the little kid's clone, the waiter who welcomed the guests at the auction immediately bowed and personally led the four of them to the private room No. 8.
After waving away the waiter and indicating that no service was needed, Feng Ke closed the door to the private room.
At this moment, Alice was pointing at the fifty-inch LCD monitor hanging on the wall, and slowly explained: "When the auction starts later, the images on the stage will be projected directly onto this monitor.
On a 4K HD monitor.”
"Whether it's the wrinkles on the auctioneer's face or the appearance of the auction items, you can see them clearly, every detail."
"The private room is so convenient. You don't have to crane your neck to look at the stage like the people outside."
"But except for those in the front row, everyone else can only listen to the auctioneer's introduction. As for what the auction item looks like, it all depends on their imagination."
After taking a breath, Alice handed another gadget that looked like a smartphone to the kid's clone: "This is the bidder. When the time comes to decide which item you like, just enter the price you want to pay, and then click the bid button.
Already."
"This is quite convenient." The little kid's clone said without raising his head while playing with the bidder in his hand, "By the way, when I take the picture of Tears of Time, if I still have some money left, I will allow you to
Each of the three people chooses an item they like and bids for it."
Hearing this, Chen Anxian, who was originally not interested in this kind of high-end activities that only belong to the rich, and was not very cold, immediately lit up her eyes: "The rich man, it's really refreshing!"
Feng Ke was so excited that he almost wanted to scream in the sky, but luckily he was reminded rationally that there were still two ladies here, so he stopped there.
He was so excited that his face turned red and he kept rubbing his hands: "Master, how embarrassing is that? It's costing you too much."
Alice's little mouth opened slightly and she pointed at herself with a cute finger: "Do I have a share too?"
"Yes, all three of you have a share." The kid's clone smiled and nodded, but soon, he said with a serious face, "Of course, the premise of everything is that I have to take the Tears of Time first.
"
"If someone interferes with me and cuts off my beard midway, I will definitely not be in a good mood by then. If I don't vent my anger on you, you should burn incense. Don't expect me to let you choose yourself.
My favorite item.”
Seeing that the expressions of the three people became serious, the kid's clone couldn't help but smile and said: "However, don't worry too much. Under normal circumstances, the chance of being cut off is very small. I am very confident about my financial resources.
Still very confident.”
Hearing this, smiles appeared on the faces of the three people again.
After coughing dryly, Feng Ke smiled shyly and said, "Master, can we wait until you take the photo of Tears of Time and then we can bid as much as we want?"
"Of course... that won't work!" the kid's clone grinned and said with a smile.
Feng Ke's face turned dark at that moment. Can you stop breathing heavily when you speak?
"Favorability from Feng Ke, -66..."
The kid's clone looked sideways at Feng Ke: "Do you really think my money came from the strong wind? This is all earned by my own skills, okay?"
"Each of you three can only choose one lot that does not exceed my psychological price."
"As for what my psychological price point is, it's a secret, and I have the final right to explain it."
Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other.
The price cannot exceed his psychological price. Doesn't this mean that he doesn't want them to take pictures that are too expensive?
The three of them made eye contact for a while and decided to find out what his psychological price level was first.
While Alice and Chen Anxian were going to the toilet, Feng Ke looked hesitant, but in the end he asked the doubts in his heart.
"Master, isn't the purpose of our mission this time the mysterious ore in Dawson's hand?"
"Why are you focusing all your attention now on Lao Shizi's Tears of Time, and for this reason, you are willing to bankrupt everything to get it?"
The little boy's clone did not answer his question directly. He said calmly: "The fact that I want these tears of time does not conflict much with our mission."
"I have reasons why I have to take pictures of this tear of time, but I can't tell you the truth yet."
"When the time comes, you will naturally know the reason why I did this!"
