"Okay, sir. This is the list of items for the two auctions this afternoon. The list of items for each day will be sent in the morning." The waiter handed an album to Qian Hai with both hands and asked politely: "What else does our hotel have?" We provide guests with simple meals for free, do you want it?"
'And there's free food? ! Qian Hai took the album and put it aside, "Okay, I'll send it over when the time comes."
"Okay, sir, if you need anything, you can call me anytime." The waiter closed the door gently.
After the waiter left, Qian Hai sighed loudly: "Damn, this is too luxurious, isn't it?! How much does it usually cost to live here!? This room is enough for us, right?"
"That's enough. To be honest," An Xiu sat on the soft carpet and stroked the plush on it. "From the moment I boarded the large merchant ship, I felt like it was all a dream. No, I didn't see it in my dream either. Live this kind of scene.”
"Indeed," Qian Hai said to An Xiu with a smile: "Not long ago, the two of us were living a life on the open sea where we could die at any time. Now that we have finally arrived at the starting point, I suddenly feel so unreal."
"Haha, you guys are okay," Lao Bai sat on the sofa with a complicated expression as he put the fiery red tea leaves on the tea table into the crystal clear teapot, "I feel like those years of my youth have been in vain, and I feel frustrated. feel."
"I asked you to say this," Qian Hai sat next to Lao Bai with the auction list, "Lao Bai, you have more experience than us, and you should understand better than us. Without your past experience, you wouldn't be able to meet us. ,no?"
"Well, you're right," Lao Bai poured Qian Hai a cup of tea and said with a wry smile, "Maybe it's because I'm a little old, so I feel a little emotional occasionally."
Qian Hai said firmly: "Don't worry, I think it won't be long before we can return to your Qingyuan Continent and find the Chen family of Chu State to calculate your general ledger for that year!"
"I really want to take revenge, but we must wait until we are sure. I have been waiting for so many years, and I don't care about waiting a few more years." Lao Bai turned to ask: "What are the items in the auction today?"
"Let me take a look." Qian Hai opened the album in his hand and looked at the catalog on the first page, "Oh!~ No wonder people from all over the world come to this auction, there are really all kinds of good things. !”
"Hongwu's inner breath technique, magic guide's magic, warrior's breathing technique, and combat skills," Qian Hai flipped through page after page. "Jewelry, equipment, antiques, materials, transforming people?? What is transforming people?"
"The three major civilizations all have different technologies for transforming people," Lao Bai explained: "That is to use special means to erase the memories of prisoners of war or slaves whose life levels have reached platinum level or above, and then strengthen the body's regeneration and energy resistance. Wait for various functional modifications. Every modified person will absolutely obey the user's orders and reach at least the strength of the late platinum stage."
"I'll go, it's awesome! No wonder it's the finale of the midnight show." Qian Hai glanced at the starting price on the album and took a breath, "It's worthy of the starting price of 2,800 purple gold!"
"Judging from the resources and success rate required to cultivate a platinum-level warrior, this starting price is relatively reasonable." Lao Bai smiled and said, "I just don't know what the final transaction price will be."
"Don't you guys want to see if there's anything you're interested in here?" Qian Hai looked at An Xiu and Sister Juan, "There are also creation cards for sale here. Anyway, today's things are a little more expensive. I've seen a lot of them. The starting price of the auction is 200 purple gold.”
"I can still accept the transformation of people, but the starting price of an item is only 200 purple gold!?" An Xiu exclaimed: "Is this world crazy?"
Sister Nuan walked up to Qian Hai and flipped through the album, "Today's items are indeed too expensive, and they are not practical for us. If the four of us go to participate, it will only be a waste of 120 gold coins."
"Then today -"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, "Sir, the simple meal provided by our store has arrived."
"Did the time fly by so fast today?" Qian Hai looked out the window and realized that it was already sunset. He shouted outside: "Bring it in."
The waiter opened the door and pushed in a silver dining car. He placed everything on the dining car on the dining table and said to Qian Hai: "Sir, the items you are consigning are scheduled for the second auction tomorrow."
"Well, it's the one that starts in the afternoon, right?" Qian Hai asked.
"That's right, sir. Please use it slowly." The waiter turned around and pushed the dining cart away.
Qian Hai walked to the dining table and opened the lid: "Steak, burger?!"
"Do you know this kind of food?" Sister Nuo walked over and asked.
"We know each other, we know each other quite well." Qian Hai said with a speechless smile: "I will make it for you when I have time. This is only for two people, come on, you can try it. Let's go out for a while and eat something outside."
"You are our captain after all. Are we going to let you watch us eat?" Sister Nuo picked up the knife and said, "Can't we just separate these things?"
The four of them finished the steak and burgers in a few bites. Qian Hai felt that the taste was a little different from what he remembered, a little strange, but still acceptable. Qian Hai then took the three of them to the first floor, asked for a map of the core area at the front desk, and walked out of the Tulip Hotel.
The entire core area is divided into four neat areas. The center of the core area is the city lord's palace of Gono City, where five mercenary regiments are stationed.
The West District where Qian Hai and the others are currently located is a commercial area that provides shopping, dining, and accommodation. The South District is where the auction is held, so there is no need to go there today.
What’s interesting is the East District and the North District. These two districts are connected but completely different. The North District is the entertainment district, with casinos, nightclubs, and red-light districts. Now Qianhai and the others can't even afford a few items from the auction, so they definitely don't have the spare money to spend in the North District.
And the east area of Gono City turned out to be a school. According to Lao Bai, in order to promote all aspects of exchanges between civilizations and races, the three major civilizations took the lead in building a school in each of the four neutral cities.
The four schools recruit students from all over the world, including the land races in the outer seas. Every year, all races send some of their most promising young people to study in these four schools.
In addition to talents who specialize in learning various technologies, students who have studied in the four institutions for five years and passed the graduation examination can be directly sent to the center of the starting place to participate in the underground palace trial.
Seeing everyone standing on the street not knowing where to go, An Xiu proposed to buy some language books about magic civilization and basic magic books for reference. So, Qian Hai and the other three accompanied An Xiu to the north, preparing to bypass the City Lord's Mansion and go to the bookstore in the West District...
