Seeing Lin Cheng's disbelief, Lao Fang glared at him in displeasure, "What do you mean? Brother, I've been working in the Blue Ocean Base for so long. If I don't even have this little deposit, how much more of a failure would it be?"
"Alright alright……"
After being glared at by Lao Fang, Lin Cheng quickly thought of this guy's identity. Not to mention his salary for working in the First Fleet, just considering the extra money he earned from fishing when he took time off, it should be quite a lot.
In addition, Chen Qi also said that Lao Fang is a veteran of the base. Who knows what other gray income he has. It is indeed not difficult for him to save 600,000 blue sea tickets.
Thinking of this, Lin Cheng's face suddenly changed. He rubbed his hands with a smile and said, "Then... I owe my admission fee to Brother Fang~"
"Go! Go! Go!"
Seeing that Lin Cheng suddenly changed his attitude after realizing that he was rich, Lao Fang curled his lips in disgust, "Brother is just helping you enter the market, but don't spend all my money in a sudden trance.
Did you know?"
"understand!"
Seeing Lao Fang's miserly behavior, Lin Cheng nodded in agreement. He originally just wanted to enter the venue to broaden his horizons, and never thought about buying anything. Of course, he couldn't use this guy's money.
"Let's go. I'll take you to have something to eat first. When it's time to enter, we'll hurry in and grab a seat near the front!"
After seeing Lin Cheng nod, Lao Fang looked at the time again and found that only a few minutes had passed. He stood up and took Lin Cheng to find a place to rest his belly.
Half an hour later.
"Dear customers, the in-field auction will start on time in half an hour. Customers who need to enter the venue please line up and enter in an orderly manner!"
"Dear customers, the in-field auction will start on time in half an hour. Customers who need to enter the venue please line up and enter in an orderly manner!"
"Everyone..."
As the female voice on the radio came into his ears three times in a row, Lin Cheng, who was holding a skewer of barbecue and tearing it into pieces, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Lao Fang, who also stopped eating meat, and asked: "Is this what you want to do?"
Is it happening?"
"That's right, come on, we'll have to wait in line for a long time when there are more people!"
Hearing this, Lao Fang swallowed the meat skewers in his hand in three mouthfuls, then nodded solemnly, and led Lin Cheng quickly towards an iron door in the deepest part of the cave.
As soon as the two people squeezed near the iron gate, they saw that crowds from all directions of the cave had quickly gathered here. This small area was instantly filled with people who wanted to enter.
"Please don't crowd, line up and enter in an orderly manner!"
At this moment, a woman also wearing a black suit walked out of the iron gate with a loudspeaker. After seeing the messy scene in front of her, she quickly turned on the loudspeaker and directed everyone to line up.
Because Lin Cheng and the others arrived earlier, when the crowd gradually lined up, they found that they were at the front of the line, with only a dozen or so people in front of them waiting to check in.
Due to the large number of people, the ticket inspector's speed was already up to speed. After waiting for less than five minutes, it was Lin Cheng's turn.
"Could you both please show me your bankbook, thank you!"
After Lin Cheng and Lao Fang walked to the ticket check-in area, the ticket inspector stretched out his hand and was ready to verify their deposits.
Hearing this, Lao Fang quickly handed over his bankbook and explained at the same time: "We are together, and all the money is with me."
"oh?"
Hearing Lao Fang's words, the young-looking ticket inspector raised his eyebrows, then without saying anything else, he took Lao Fang's passbook and began to check the deposits inside.
"Six hundred and nineteen thousand and eight...Okay, you two can go in!"
After softly reading out the numbers displayed on the inspection machine, the young ticket inspector glanced at Lao Fang with a slightly strange look, then gave him the passbook and pointed his finger inside to indicate that the two of them could enter.
Lin Cheng, the ticket inspector's gaze, noticed it instantly. After the two of them walked into the infield, he finally couldn't help but ask Lao Fang: "What did that guy just... mean?"
Hearing this, Lao Fang immediately gave a bitter smile, "It's very simple. He must have never seen poor people like us who came in with the minimum amount..."
"Depend on?"
Hearing Lao Fang's explanation, Lin Cheng was immediately speechless, "Three hundred thousand people who come in are still considered poor? How rich are the people in this base?"
Lao Fang shook his head, "For ordinary people, whether before the end of the world or now, three hundred thousand is considered a huge sum of money, but for those privileged classes, it is actually just a meal.
The only difference is that before the end of the world, they would use this money to eat and drink, but now they use it to buy strengthening liquid..."
"The current population of the Blue Ocean Base is close to 100,000. Even if the ratio of rich people is 100:1, there are almost thousands of wealthy people. Coupled with those higher-level ability users and opportunistic businessmen, they can easily control the entire population.
The auction house is packed! And the Blue Ocean tickets in the hands of this group of people account for almost 90% of the entire Blue Ocean base, so three hundred thousand is really nothing to them..."
"Any item in the auction can easily cost tens or even millions. That's why that guy looked at us like that, because guys like us who came in with the minimum amount basically had no chance to participate in anything.
Bidding..."
Hearing this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but sigh. He originally thought that after the end of the world, this kind of naked money society would have been shattered, but he never expected to see it here again. It was really bad...
At this moment, Lin Cheng suddenly thought of something and quickly asked Lao Fang: "By the way, Lao Fang, where do all the items in this auction come from?"
Hearing this, Lao Fang thought for a moment and replied with some uncertainty: "I heard that most of them are relatively rare items found by the collection team outside, and some are provided by merchants. The origin of the strengthening liquid
It’s completely unknown…”
Hearing Lao Fang's answer, Lin Cheng nodded clearly, "In addition to the strengthening fluid, what else is more likely to fetch a higher price at auction?"
"Hmm... famous cigarettes, famous wines, beautiful women, rare medicines, etc..."
After racking his brains and thinking for a while, the old man roughly summarized these more valuable things.
"Yeah……"
After hearing about these so-called rare items, Lin Cheng suddenly smiled and asked another question, "Then if I want to auction something, who should I go to?"
"kindness?"
Seeing Lin Cheng's mysterious look, Lao Fang couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you asking this? Is it possible that you have something valuable on you? I can tell you, even though you were considered a valuable person to ordinary people that day,
It’s a rare good cigarette, but for those old men who are used to smoking special products, it’s no different than straw!”
