Chapter 351 Auction Venue
"How does it feel ?" Captain Madara said.
"What?"
"How would it feel to spend all your money to buy a bottle of juice you made yourself?"
"Feeling? I feel like I want to eat chicken." Xiao Zhen said viciously. Captain Madara deliberately straightened his neck and glared at him. After learning that Xiao Zhen bribed Duke Gil with money to use the fake title of "Captain", Captain Madara felt that the friendship between the Heart Eaters was fragile, and deliberately said weird things these two days to retaliate. Faced with the fact that he sold the title for money without caring about his friends, the cold-blooded Xiao Zhen was indifferent to the fragile heart of the chicken, and even occasionally said a few words as a counterattack.
In fact, what Captain Ban said was not correct. Although five million was a huge sum of money, it was not as much as Xiao Zhen's entire fortune. If his old account could be unblocked, let alone a bottle of juice... Xiao Zhen put away the thought. There was no if in reality. The pitiful fact before him was that he only had five million credits in his hand. He could only hope that the rich people participating in the auction would focus on something more valuable, not some Zhenxuan Special Drink.
They have arrived at the auction venue.
The entire auction site was like a huge coral forest, with thin tendrils extending lifting transparent boxes like soap bubbles. Some elf-like bees roamed among the corals, bringing delicious snacks to the guests in the boxes from time to time. Looking out from the soap bubbles in the boxes, the surrounding curtain walls were shining with jewel-like colors, and the transparent bubble boxes were scattered in a staggered manner among the quiet coral forest, just like a fantasy world described in a fairy tale.
Liu Xingquan stared at the outside of the box, where aliens of all shapes and sizes were coming and going in the auction hall. There were reptiles that looked like transparent nematodes, and flesh balls with long sticks and vertical eyes. They could maintain the balance of their flesh balls with only silk-like tentacles and slide lightly on the ground. There was a kind of creature that looked like a moving mass of sticky and disgusting snot pus with a few more eyes and mouths, comparable the abyss described by Mr. Lovecraft, but Xiaozhen said that it was one of the most gentle and friendly intelligent creatures in the galaxy. These snot monsters were philosophers, and their greatest hobby was to immerse themselves in the world in their brains and engage in philosophical speculation with themselves. There was also an upright intelligent creature that looked like a teddy bear, and it was wobbly and naive when it walked. Liu Xingquan couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but Xiaozhen immediately whispered to him to look away. He said that this harmless and ridiculous looking teddy bear alien was notoriously weird and brutal. Although they are not as fond of eating human brains as the Groshians, they have also caused a lot of harm. It is always right not to attract their attention. Liu Xingquan listened and took notes secretly. Facing all kinds of alien intelligent creatures, this middle school student on Earth now maintains a very calm mentality. After experiencing the horror incident that the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang were not real tough guys, nothing can scare him anymore.
The three-dimensional holographic screen in the center of the hall was playing today's auction items for the rich guests in the venue to appreciate. They were all candidates for toys in this game of spending a lot of money. The holographic images now displayed were several pieces of pottery that looked extremely crude. In Xiaozhen's eyes, they were just a pile of mud, but their starting price was higher than that of Zhenxuan Special Drink. His retina showed various descriptions of the pottery. This was a fragment of an artistic vase made by a master craftsman of the ancient Xiyiqi Dynasty three thousand years ago. It was a symbol of a cultural school in the southern continent of Xiyiqi Star in the ancient Qing era and had extremely high academic value. Its starting price was four million credit coins. After the image of this pottery disappeared, another stone appeared. Some amber biological patterns could be vaguely seen in the cracks on the surface of the stone. Biologists pointed out that it was a kind of ancient creature that once dominated the world on this planet, but it became extinct because it could not adapt to the sudden change in climate. This ancient fossil is proof that this ancient creature once existed. Its starting price is 5.2 million credit coins.
"This is a real item," Captain Ban commented.
Its current meaning is that the True Selection Special Drink is not a serious auction item at all. Xiao Zhen was a little indignant, but the chicken was right. This is a valuable rare collection, and it is a bit too much for a drink like the True Selection Special Drink, which is made by an unknown and suspicious person, to be put on such an occasion to compete with these rare collections.
Please, all the rich people, open your eyes and don’t bid recklessly, Xiaozhen prayed loudly in her heart.
Guan Yu appeared outside the transparent box and waved his hand at Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen pressed a button. There was a subtle tremor in the air - the transparent film protecting the box changed according to the command, and Guan Yu outside was able to enter the bubble box. Without the permission of the guests in the box, outsiders could not enter the bubble at all. This was a protection measure for the visiting VIPs at the auction venue. The function of this bubble film is not only to provide safety protection for entry and exit, but once the bubble is attacked, it will rebound the corresponding damage to the attacker.
"Look what I brought?" Guan Yu laughed while holding the bag in his hand. His bag contained several bottles of drinks. Xiao Zhen picked up a bottle, which was covered with cold dew, but more importantly, the packaging of this bottle was exactly the same as the Zhenxuan Special Drink played in the center of the venue.
"This is?"
"There are simulated special drinks for sale at the entrance of the venue." Guan Yu said, "Popular items will have peripherals. The imitation of the real special drink is now the main beverage provided by the venue. I looked at the description and all of our races can drink it."
"..." Xiao Zhen looked outside and saw that many guests were holding the same drinks as him in their hands/tentacles/claws.
Captain Madara said, "Tsk, it seems your unorthodox drink is really popular."
"What do you mean by indecent?" Xiao Zhen snorted, twisted the bottle cap, tilted his head back and took a sip. The taste of this imitation product was sour, sweet, cold and refreshing, very delicious. But was his previous special drink like this? Xiao Zhen searched his information database, but found that he had originally defaulted this taste information as low-level forgettable information, and the original record had been overwritten by other information.
Everyone quickly shared the fake special drink that Guan Yu brought. Zhang Fei drank it all and licked his tongue. He said, "It tastes good. By the way, where is Ms. Fei?"
"I just saw her go downstairs." Ren Anzhi said, "She probably went to look at the surrounding souvenirs like Guan Yu did."
At this moment, there was a slight commotion in the venue.
The distinguished guest entered.
First came a team of guards in red and silver uniforms. After a few blows, they proudly surrounded a man in gorgeous clothes. When the man appeared, many guests stood up and saluted him.
He was a very handsome man with long silky hair. His face was gorgeous and delicate, and his compelling demeanor was filled with pure joy, which made everyone who saw him feel happy and moved by his beauty. When he walked past Xiaozhen's box, everyone in the box smelled an intoxicating fragrance, and they couldn't help but smile, and their hearts swayed.
"Prince Linaru," Mr. Cat said, "The Queen's current favorite, Bazalu."
"He is really... beautiful." Liu Xingquan hesitated for a moment, and realized that he could only use the words beautiful or pretty to describe this prince. "Is that fragrance coming from him?"
"Yes." Xiao Zhen said, "It's the effect of the adapter translation, translating his charming scent into the most attractive scent for various races."
"Wait a minute." Ren Anzhi suddenly said, "This is the local prince, right? He looks like a Homo sapiens. I thought the local residents of this planet should look more..." He hesitated for a moment, "less human."
"It's an adapter." Xiao Zhen explained, "It's the etiquette of the local upper class. They have a special transplanted organ called an adapter. The adapter will automatically match the visual effects of each race through translation."
"match?"
"For example, did you see the snot monster in front? You think it's disgusting, right? In fact, that person is the most outstanding diplomat in his race, but he doesn't conform to the aesthetics of Homo sapiens. The upper class of the Xiyiqi people all have transplant adapters that automatically translate their appearance into an appearance that conforms to the aesthetics of other races. This is also a racial characteristic that they are proud of."
"I understand." Ren Anzhi said, "It means that he is a handsome man in his race. With the addition of the adapter, his appearance will become a handsome man in the eyes of all races."
"Well, the upper class of this planet has very stubborn self-esteem and etiquette." Xiao Zhen touched his chin.
Liu Xingquan whispered: "In other words, he is the one..."
"Yes, he is the father of the newly born little princess."
The beautiful Prince Linaru sat down in the most gorgeously decorated box in the coral cluster at the auction venue. After that, another piece of music boomed in the auction venue.
This time, a team of green guards entered, and they surrounded another man in gorgeous clothes.
This man was completely different from the charming and beautiful Prince Rinaru. His face was not very delicate, but rather had a heavy feeling of being worn out by the years. When he greeted the guests, his profile reminded people of the ancient statues of ancient Rome on Earth, hard and distinct. His appearance was serious and solemn, and his dark eyes were filled with deep melancholy. When his eyes met those of his people, they were always moved by the sincerity in his eyes and truly loved him. His scent was the scent of cedar on a winter night, a distant and faint fragrance.
Mr. Cat said: "Prince Alsiel used to be the most favored Bazalu, but not anymore."
Liu Xingquan said: "The eldest princess's father?"
"Yes."
"Ah, now both princes are here."
The venue had fallen into a subtle silence. The guests present had already recognized the two princes, and an invisible undercurrent was surging in the venue.
Prince Alsiel sat in the largest box in the auction venue. His box was opposite to Prince Linaru's gorgeous box. Before entering the box, Prince Alsiel looked at Prince Linaru and nodded slightly, but Prince Linaru did not respond to him, as if he did not see him.
The guests exchanged glances, and whispers spread like ripples in the room.
At this moment, all the royal members have not yet entered the venue.
Under the escort of another guard, a group of people appeared at the venue. The center of attention this time was not a man, but a group of beautiful boys. Each of them was so handsome that people could not look away. Some of them were like innocent angels from Renaissance paintings, with clear and bright eyes under their smooth hair. Their laughter made people's hearts beat faster, and their smell was full of sweet wildness. They were like the embodiment of beautiful adjectives such as beauty, youth, and fragrance. This group of young boys was like a shining stream flowing into the venue, spreading freely in the venue.
"Who are they?"
"The Queen's Bazaar candidates." Mr. Cat said, "Once they are favored, they will have the opportunity to become the new prince."
"……so much?"
"Whether they can win the Queen's favor depends on their own abilities." Mr. Cat said, "The Queen has only had one Prince Alsiel in the past ten years. Now that Prince Linaru has ascended to the throne, other candidates for Bazalu have seen new hope. The competition for Bazalu in the harem is very fierce."
"I understand, it's The Legend of Zhen Huan!" said Liu Xingquan.
