Item 1 of Chapter 571
Inside the office.
Manager Qiu sat alone at the table; the virtual figure was gone, replaced by another virtual page.
The profile picture in the upper left corner is Xiao Weiqing.
This page displays Xiao Weiqing's basic information, but it contains less information than what Xiao Weiqing filled in before.
Only Xiao Weiqing's name and age are known, indicating he comes from the Blue Star Civilization, is a member of the Sixth Heaven, and entered through the Battle of Ascension.
Manager Qiu wanted to investigate further, a habit he had developed over many years in business.
It's fine if you don't check, but what you find will shock you.
He was warned by the system.
This has never happened before.
Therefore, he quickly asked the boss.
The reply he received was that he didn't have enough authority, and he was told to treat Xiao Weiqing as a member of the Seventh Heaven.
But Xiao Weiqing had only just entered the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm.
The virtual page disappeared.
Manager Qiu put aside all distracting thoughts and decided to stop thinking about it, because he knew that curiosity killed the cat.
The Sifang Building, where the trading market is located, has 100 floors.
The 100th floor is a magnificent, large auction hall.
It's about half the size of a football field.
It has three floors.
The second and third floors consist of individual private rooms.
Unlike the second layer.
The third-floor private rooms were larger and more luxurious, and there were service staff. They were led to private room number 4.
"Distinguished guests, would you like me to introduce the auction..."
"No need, you can go out first. We'll call you if we need anything."
The woman serving the food was interrupted by Gart before she could finish speaking.
"OK."
The woman dared not say anything more and respectfully left the private room.
"Xiao Weiqing, please sit down."
The three people took their seats.
There was a spacious single sofa, and on the right was a stool with five jade plaques of different colors on it, about the same size and thickness as playing cards.
Gart pointed to the sign and said, "Just like the treasures of the Purple Sea, the white sign represents 1, and the gold sign represents 1."
"During the auction, if you need to bid, just put your bidding paddle in the box in front and throw it in. The screen outside our VIP box will then display the bid number."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, understanding perfectly. "That seems a bit primitive. Can't we just input the numbers directly?"
Ji Sheng laughed and said, "In the past, we did enter numbers, but when you enter numbers, everyone is very careful, which is not conducive to getting a high price for the treasure."
"It was changed later."
"By adopting this approach, most people enjoy the feeling of spending lavishly."
Xiao Weiqing frowned. "Impulsive spending?"
"Yes, that's a very apt description. It's definitely easy to get carried away, especially when competing with others. I once paid far above the market price to acquire a treasure."
"Let's keep an eye on each other later, so we don't waste money."
"Really? You can do that too?"
Ji Sheng looked at Xiao Weiqing, his face flushed, and said helplessly, "You'll find out soon enough."
Half an hour later.
The lobby on the first floor has over 10,000 seats, and it's almost full.
Click click~~
Click~~ Click~~
The lights went out.
The entire hall suddenly went dark.
"They're here."
"Gatt suddenly said."
Step~
Tap~ tap~ tap~~
The sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the darkness.
For some reason, the footsteps seemed to pound on Xiao Weiqing's heart.
As footsteps sounded, a beam of light turned on in the center of the hall.
As the lights gradually brightened, a swaying figure could be seen walking into the hall.
Her figure alone is alluring, captivating the imagination.
When the figure walked to the central auction stage.
Only then did everyone get a clear look at the person's appearance.
This is a beautiful woman wearing a purple dress.
"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to our 4567 distinguished guests for today's Purple Ocean Auction."
"Without further ado, let's welcome the first item up for auction tonight."
Inside the room.
Xiao Weiqing frowned.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Weiqing's tone was somewhat incredulous, because the woman in front of him clearly looked like a Da Xia person, with the correct height and appearance, and her figure was unbelievably good, practically ripe and alluring.
"Hmm? No, soul power?"
Xiao Weiqing's heart stirred, and he released his divine soul power. When he looked again, the scene remained unchanged.
"Don't even try."
Ji Sheng smiled wryly and said, "Defelia, a member of the Illusionary Heart Clan, is a solitary race in the universe. Her strength has reached the peak of the Dominator Realm, and her divine soul is comparable to the Undying Realm."
"The entire auction venue is in her domain; she can arouse your most primal desires based on the aesthetics of different races."
Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow. The Cosmic Lone Race is a race with exceptionally powerful genes but a very small population.
His deceased third senior brother, Yak, was a member of the Cosmic Lone Clan, the Celestial Remnant Clan. Legend has it that he was cursed by the universe because of his extraordinary comprehension.
I didn't expect to see another one here.
"Is this okay?"
Xiao Weiqing asked softly.
Ji Sheng looked at Xiao Weiqing, "What do you mean, 'can't'?"
"That's how they release their domain, giving us an illusion."
Ji Sheng replied, "There's nothing wrong with that. Defelia didn't do anything; she just released her domain and presented different appearances according to our preferences. Isn't that great?"
"You should know that these auctions take a long time. You can only bid on a few items at most, and when something you don't need comes up, the wait is very boring."
"That's right, when you're bored, you can look at Defelia, she's so pleasing to the eye," Gart chimed in.
At this moment, his gaze was fixed intently on Defelia, and it was unknown what Defelia looked like in his eyes.
Xiao Weiqing was somewhat helpless. No wonder Ji Sheng once paid far more than the market price for a treasure; it turned out that's how it was.
Ji Sheng seemed to sense the meaning behind Xiao Weiqing's gaze.
"Cough cough~~"
"That accident will absolutely not happen again."
Ji Sheng spoke solemnly, as if he were speaking to Xiao Weiqing, but also as if he were speaking to himself.
"Xiao Weiqing, this is actually a test. If we can't even resist this temptation, we can only blame ourselves."
Xiao Weiqing found this strange. "Are you talking about yourself?"
Ji Sheng's expression changed, and he looked somewhat embarrassed.
"Ahem~~ I already said that it was an accident."
"Look at the auction items, look at the auction items..."
In the center of the hall.
The first item to be auctioned has appeared: several dark stones of varying sizes.
"Please take a look, everyone."
Instantly.
The treasure in the private room seemed so close, as if it were within arm's reach.
Xiao Weiqing was startled by this idea. "It's not a virtual projection."
"One of Defelia's abilities," Ji Sheng explained, "is indistinguishable from a real object; you can touch it and see."
Xiao Weiqing was somewhat skeptical, so he got up, stepped forward, and grabbed one of the pieces in his hand.
It fits perfectly in one hand, feels soft to the touch, has some weight to it, and is a little warm.
