Zerg Survival Record

Chapter 184

The auction items are real, but there is a three-dimensional projection of the auction items in front of each seat.

This projection is not physical, but will show the auction item from various angles.

Lan Yin looked at it and said, "Are you the owner of this auction house?"

Ruijin was a little surprised, but he didn't deny it: "How did you guess that?"

"How should I put it? The way you look at us is very rude, as if you are evaluating our status, or more accurately, our value."

Lan Yin leaned back in his chair in a relaxed manner, the white butterfly-shaped mask covering most of his face. The smile in his dark eyes did not reach his bottom, and his beautifully shaped lips were slightly curled, which inexplicably made people feel scared.

"With that kind of look in your eyes, and you sitting in the front row, you must be either a big businessman or the boss here." Lan Yin said, "I just didn't expect you to be so honest."

On the stage, Aitchie's voice was clear and loud, yet also beautiful and melodious, reaching every corner of the venue.

Ruijin was sweating profusely at the sound of this, and he felt inexplicable pressure.

It was clear that the other party's tone did not mean to hold him accountable.

"I'm very sorry for my impoliteness." The blond youth was flexible and humbly said, "I feel very uncomfortable with such an offense. How about I buy this thing and give it to you?"

Without waiting for Lan Yin to agree or refuse, he pressed the button on the handle.

Lan Yin took a look at the auction item, which was a pair of rings with a simple design and inlaid with blue gemstones. The quality was good, and the reserve price was five million credit points.

He murmured to himself that at this price he could buy a large piece of gemstone of this quality, the only thing that was high was the labor cost.

It is probably the masterpiece of a certain master. What is precious is not the work itself, but the master's reputation.

Thinking of this, Lan Yin really wanted to complain to Kailesel.

But Ruijin kept raising the price and successfully bought the pair of rings, which attracted a lot of attention.

Lan Yin thought that everyone wanted to see which idiot was the one who bought the item at three times the original price.

Ruijin waited for the things to come down and wanted to give them to Lan Yin.

Lan Yin decisively refused: "Don't give it to me, I'm worried that I will be infected with your stupidity."

Ruijin: “…”

"And I didn't agree to take it."

Lan Yin thought this guy was quite self-righteous.

Ruijin had no choice but to give up.

He was testing whether Lan Yin was angry or not. If she was really angry, she wouldn't use such a cheap thing to apologize.

He put the exquisitely wrapped gift box aside, his whole mind was no longer on the auction, but on the insect wearing a white butterfly mask.

Such a mysterious and dangerous insect attracted his senses all the time.

Lan Yin had no intention of paying attention to this female insect, and even found this meaningless social interaction annoying.

His attention was already on the auction table. The tall and handsome male insect was talking eloquently, knowing the origin and characteristics of each auction item like the back of his hand. It was obvious that he had a rich knowledge reserve and had done a lot of homework.

Lan Yin could see that he was a very hard-working person who wanted to do everything to perfection.

For the next batch of potions to be auctioned, Lan Yin and Kelesel were the ones rushing to bid. Whoever pressed the button first would be responsible for bidding for the bottle of potion. Of course, Kelesel would still provide the credit points.

But Lan Yin still felt like a clown and asked Kelesel, "Did you know that these things would be auctioned here?"

Kelesel said without a trace of guilt, "This isn't killing two birds with one stone."

Lan Yin said he was very angry: "So, I am just the incidental one?"

"How is that possible?" Kelesel said helplessly, "If you don't come, I won't come either. I'll just ask them to send it to me."

Lan Yin once again realized that power is a good thing.

He took out his laptop, checked the time, and said, "I hope this auction ends soon, otherwise we won't be able to get back in time for dinner."

"What? Don't you want that mermaid anymore?" Kelesel asked him.

Lan Yin put down the laptop and said, "Yes, of course I don't want to."

There are only three items left in the auction.

The further you go in the film, the better it gets, otherwise there wouldn't be the word "finale".

The third to last item is a protective shield that is said to have absolute defense. I don’t know if it is really absolute, but it is really expensive.

All of Yilanyin’s current assets would require a significant investment to buy.

Fortunately, he didn't need it.

The thing was swatted away by a gloomy-looking female insect.

The second-to-last piece is a very beautiful mecha. The overall color is like the starry sky, and the lines are exquisite and smooth everywhere. Even in the dark, it seems to be bathed in moonlight.

But its preciousness, of course, does not lie in its appearance, but in the fact that it is a mecha made completely according to the standards of male insects, and can be operated by male insects of level B and above.

Lan Yin could sense that Aitch's eyes lit up when he made these introductions.

It’s a pity that this mecha is very beautiful and its price is also very beautiful.

It is not something that ordinary working people can afford.

Amid the noises of other bugs raising their prices, Kelesel asked Lan Yin, "Do you want to buy it?"

Lan Yin shook his head and said, "The base price alone could buy several cost-effective mechas. We don't know how powerful it is, so if it turns out to be a useless showpiece, then we'll be losing money."

Kailesel thought the little male insect was really cute. After buying the mecha, he would definitely use it for combat, but he could also appreciate and collect it.

More importantly, he doesn't have to pay credit points.

But as a pragmatist, Lan Yin resolutely refused to buy these ridiculously expensive things that looked good but were useless.

That money was enough to buy each of his nine children, big and small, a mecha suitable for them to drive.

This is to make money from male insects and female insects who want to please male insects.

"You don't have a male insect you like, right?" Ruijin spoke again.

Lan Yin saw that Kailesel was about to laugh, and suddenly felt tired.

He glanced at Rui Jin and said, "So what?"

Rui Jin smiled good-naturedly and said, "If you had a favorite male insect, you wouldn't say that, because you would feel that no matter how much money you spent on them, it would be a supreme happiness."

Lan Yin shook his head: "No, this will not make me happy, it will only make me extremely painful."

"It seems that you may not be able to win the favor of the gentlemen in the future." When Ruijin said this, a hint of secret joy emerged in his heart.

Lan Yin: "I don't need their favor, but if I want them..."

He didn't say the rest of the words, but his tone was meaningful, which made Ruijin a little creepy. He imagined a game of power and desire in his mind, and looked at Lan Yin with an extremely complicated look.

Lan Yin enjoyed his look of shock and implicit admiration and nodded in her heart.

That’s right, he is that kind of cunning boss who can manipulate the entire empire at will!

While they were talking, the mecha was quickly auctioned off.

Or the gloomy female insect that won the last auction item.

Lan Yin always felt that his eyes were a little strange. When he found that he was looking at Aichi, he understood something and said to Kelesel, "I think I discovered a case of robbery."

"Focus a little, the mermaid you want to buy will be out soon." Kelesel didn't care about robbery or robbery, he only cared about whether he could go home on time for dinner.

He had seen too many such things. As long as the male insect in question could control himself and refuse money and power, he could also seek help from higher male insects if all else failed. They were very united and would not refuse help.

But he looked at the male insect in the stands, his eyes filled with desire for money and power, and it was not certain who the prey would be.

It's a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. If other insects interfere, they might just be meddling in other people's business.

Seeing that he didn't want to listen, Lan Yin stopped talking and waited for the mermaid to appear.

"The last item up for auction is the highlight of this auction. He was purchased by the Wells Chamber of Commerce from a space dealer and transported here with great difficulty. He is a mermaid, one of the most beautiful creatures in the universe."

As soon as Aiqi finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamations from the audience.

Not everyone can know in advance that there will be mermaids at this auction, and those who know will not reveal it for some reason. It is not a glorious thing after all.

Lan Yin saw a huge transparent water tank being pushed out from behind the curtain, covered with an exquisite and gorgeous golden cage.

Is it a canary?

A three-dimensional projection of the mermaid in the water tank appeared in front of him.

This mermaid was not much different from what he had imagined, with long silver-blue hair, ice-blue eyes, and an extremely beautiful and delicate appearance, as if the goddess of beauty had descended to earth.

But when Lan Yin heard the exclamations around him, he remembered the Mary Sue novels that were popular when he was in elementary school, junior high school and high school. The princesses in those novels almost had the attributes of mermaids, but their abilities were more magical.

"The mermaid sings beautifully, and her tears turn into pearls."

At this point, Aiqi suddenly sighed and said, "But this mermaid refuses to cry no matter what. We have no way of knowing whether his tears can turn into pearls."

Lan Yin observed the mermaid's six coral ears, the transparent fins on her arms that were as thin as gauze, and the big blue fish tail.

I have to say that this fish tail is really beautiful. The scales are sparkling with silver light, the lines are elegant and smooth, and the tail fin is like flowing gorgeous silk, graceful and soft to the point of being incredible.

He stared at the mermaid's face, as if he could see the shadow of another mermaid through him.

Lan Yin was very puzzled. What was going on with his lost memory? It was actually related to mermaids. Could it be that he had a story to tell about mermaids?

But no matter what it is, the mermaid auction has officially begun.

The base price is 5 billion credit points.

Lan Yin felt a pang of pain in his heart when he heard this, but he had to buy the mermaid no matter what, otherwise... he felt that he would regret and feel guilty for the rest of his life.

This inexplicable emotion made him irritable, but he had to pursue this feeling.

He was in no hurry to follow the filming, but instead calculated his assets in his mind.

True, Kelesail said he would pay for him.

But it was so expensive, Lan Yin didn't have the nerve to ask the other party to pay for him. That would be too much.

Unless Lan Yin is really poor and has to rely on Kelesel to buy the mermaid.

But in fact, Lan Yin was not poor. He could use enough credit points to buy the mermaid, but it was painful.

This is what it means when the poor have no moral principles, while the rich start to pay attention to morality.

When the price was raised to 10 billion credit points, there were very few bugs following.

This is also the case. Although mermaids are beautiful, for them, beauty does not represent everything and is not worth spending a high price to buy them.

"Mr. No. 4 quoted billion credit points. Is there a higher price than his?" asked Aichi.

Lan Yin pressed the button on the handle to quote the price, filled in the amount of 10.1 billion, and this amount appeared on the transparent screen.

His money didn't just come from the wind.

Aitch had noticed him a long time ago. He was the only one wearing a mask at the scene, but even with the mask on, he still had an extraordinary and mysterious aura that was out of tune with his surroundings.

"Alright! Mr. 2's offer is billion. Is there anything higher?"

As one of the best auctioneers in this auction house, Aichi already knows some hidden rules.

For example, if you sit in the first row, the earlier the number, the higher your status.

In the past, No. 4 should have been No. 1, but a presiding judge came with two unknown insects and completely suppressed the current No. 4.

There was a glint in Aichi's eyes. He did not deny that he had the desire to climb up the social ladder, otherwise it would be difficult for a male insect like him to make a name for himself. He originally planned to choose Mr. No. 4, but now he can reconsider it.

After No. 4 reported billion, this amount appeared on the transparent screen, and he did not forget to look at Lan Yin coldly.

He was the female insect who took pictures of the absolute defense shield and the male insect mecha.

Lan Yin slowly curled her lips, smiled at him, and quoted a price of 11.1 billion.

He bet that this guy had bought several high-priced auction items before and had little funds left.

Of course, the bids in general auctions can only be integers, but the amount in the billions is too large.

Number Four's expression grew increasingly grim, and he continued to bid 12 billion.

The amount on the screen changes again.

Lan Yin continued to add.

12.1 billion

The numbers on the screen continue to change.

Thirteen billion

13.1 billion

14 billion

14.1 billion

……

Throughout the entire game, it was just a battle between the two of them.

When Lan Yin quoted 20 billion, she became a little impatient and said, "There's no point in arguing with you any further. I'm going to get this mermaid for sure."

Number 4 looked at him coldly: "Are you trying to use your power to pressure me?"

Lan Yin scoffed and said, "If I really want to use my power to suppress insects, do you think you can still talk to me here?"

The place suddenly fell silent.

Lan Yin smiled softly: "You are quite cunning. You clearly don't have 12 billion in funds, but you still bid the price. You are either arrogant or you want to cheat me."

When he saw No. 4's face change drastically, he knew he had guessed right.

However, even if you guess wrong, it doesn’t matter.

He has the capital to talk nonsense.

Lan Yin thought about this and said to the stunned Ai Qi, "Mr. Four just quoted 20 billion, right?"

Ai Qi came back to his senses and said politely, "Yes, Mr. Four did quote 20 billion."

Lan Yin smiled and said to him, "Then sell it to him!"

Ai Qi hesitated when he heard this, and he looked at his boss Rui Jin.

Ruijin also felt a headache. He looked at No. 4 and said, "Mr. Nicholas, what do you think?"

Nicknis didn't respond to him, his face seemed stiff and embarrassed.

The atmosphere was very awkward, but no one was kind enough to help Nick Ness.

Not only does Nigunis have a bad relationship with insects, but he also doesn't want to offend Lan Yin, the number two.

It was Kailesel who gave Lan Yin a look, telling him to solve the problem quickly and not waste time, as they still had to rush home for dinner.

Lan Yin then slowly said, "Since Mr. Nicholas doesn't want it, then I'll make an offer."

On the screen as transparent as flowing water, the amount changed again and finally stopped at 20.1 billion.
