"Ding! The host completed the hidden mission and used the healing charm to save Da Jinya, who forgot to buy medicine because the plot was advanced, from dying of asthma."
"Reward (1): News about chalcedony, chalcedony, earth and yin dual attribute spiritual energy crystals, the main material of the corpse suppressing talisman."
"Reward (2): Magic weapon-level Sanqing Bell, used to break illusions and used in conjunction with the corpse-repelling talisman."
"Reward (3): A magic weapon-grade peach wood sword. It can be used to deal with zombies and ward off evil spirits in the house."
"Choose one of three, please make your choice?"
Cao Yi, who was standing aside and watching the excitement, couldn't help but feel a headache when he heard the system prompts.
Is this system intentional? Knowing that he has difficulty choosing, he made three options.
This time when I went to the Goddess's Tomb, in addition to collecting Bianhua flowers, I also needed to collect a thousand-year-old zombie. Each of the three options given by the system is indispensable.
After thinking for a while, Cao Yi didn't make a choice.
"With the last three seconds left, the host did not make a selection, but chose randomly."
"Ding! Select reward one"
"News about chalcedony: Tonight, there is an auction held by Christie's at the Taj Pierre Hotel. One of the auction items, a jade from Myanmar named Purple Dragon King, contains a small amount of chalcedony."
An auction at a fancy hotel?
Not everyone can get into this.
Cao Yi frowned and looked at Mark, who had just finished talking to Wang Kaixuan.
As the legal representative of Global Mining Group, this guy should have some ideas.
"Taoist Priest, I will take you back."
Mark, who happened to look over, said with a smile.
He was puzzled by his previous master's attitude towards Cao Yi, which was so horrifying. He just saw with his own eyes that Cao Yi saved an asthmatic patient from danger with a cup of water soaked in yellow talismans. All his confusion disappeared.
This is a magical oriental person. The closer you get to such a person, the more benefits you will get.
Cao Yi, who didn't know that Mark was determined to please him, shook his head and said, "You can't go back yet. Tonight, there will be an auction held by Christie's at the Taj Mahal Pierre Hotel. There are things that poor Tao needs. Can you get it?" An invitation?"
Mark Zheng didn't know how to please Cao Yi, so he said without hesitation: "No problem, I'll do it right away."
After saying that, Mark took out his mobile phone again and made a call.
Cao Yi didn't expect Mark to be so cheerful. He was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that this guy was probably shocked by his act of rescuing people just now.
As the legal representative of Global Mining Group, it is very easy for Mark to get a few invitations to Christie's auctions.
After the phone call, Mark smiled and said: "It's done, you can go now."
Cao Yi nodded, turned to Da Jinya and Wang Kaixuan, who were about to leave, and asked them, "Are you interested in going together?"
Da Jinya trembled and nodded with surprise.
He is a person who likes antiques, excitement, and grand scenes. During this period in the United States, because he was short of money and had no formal identity, he had been hanging around at the bottom of society. I have longed for the legendary large-scale auction.
"And you?"
Cao Yi looked at Wang Kaixuan.
This guy, ever since he saw the flower pattern on the contract, he fell into a strange state, sometimes sad and excited.
"I'm not going. I'll set off tomorrow. I have to find a way to trick Lao Hu into going."
Wang Kaixuan shook his head and refused.
Cao Yi didn't force it.
A few minutes later, Wang Kaixuan called a taxi and left. Cao Yi and Da Jinya took Mark's car to the Taj Mahal Pierre Hotel.
Taj Pierre Hotel is a five-star hotel.
New York's Times Square is 2.4 km away.
The Empire State Building is 2.8 km away.
Broadway is 3.4 km away.
The United Nations Headquarters is 2.6 km away.
The location is excellent.
After arriving at the hotel, they handed the car to the valet parking service staff. The three of them talked and entered the hotel lobby.
A man in a black suit walked towards him and gave Mark three beautifully crafted invitations.
This person is undoubtedly a staff member of Christie's.
The three of them took the elevator to the entrance of the auction house. After verification, they entered the crowded auction house.
Cao Yi was surprised to find that at least two-thirds of the faces were Asian faces with black hair and yellow skin.
Most of these people were over fifty years old and spoke Cantonese, Baodao Mandarin, Asian English, and Japanese. When they saw a Taoist priest coming in, they all showed surprised expressions.
"Why are there so many Asians? Is this auction just for Asians?"
Big Jinya whispered.
This was the first time he came to such a 'high-end' occasion, and he lost his usual high-spirited demeanor.
“Have a seat first”
Cao Yi, who felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by a group of old men, walked towards the area where few people were sitting in the middle.
Da Jinya and Mark were both studying with the prince, so naturally they followed Cao Yi wherever he went.
After sitting down, Cao Yi opened the brochure prepared for the auction and finally understood why there were so many Asian faces.
Among the auction items, there are many cultural relics from the imperial palace of China's Qing Dynasty. You can tell with your toes that they were robbed, stolen, and smuggled together with the scum among the Chinese people in that era.
"Taoist Master, which one do you want to take a picture of?"
Mark came over to ask.
Cao Yi turned the brochure to page nine and pointed to a piece of jade named Purple Dragon King on the lower right.
"Well, okay, I'll pay the auction deposit."
Mark took a look, stood up and left his seat.
Cao Yi continued to flip through the brochures, becoming more and more angry.
Jade seal from the Qianlong period.
Ming Dynasty Wanli jujube skin red ground blue and white lotus plum vase with entwining branches.
Western Zhou Bronze "Tiger Ying".
One of the 12 zodiac bronze heads is the horse head.
Yuan blue and white Jinxiang Pavilion jar.
…
Pieces of Chinese cultural treasures are openly auctioned off by foreigners for profit.
"Good evening, gentlemen and ladies, I am John Feng, the auctioneer who is hosting this auction. I am very happy that everyone can come to participate in this auction, which focuses on Chinese art. Last month, our auction house sold Twenty-one precious Chinese works of art were purchased, with a transaction value of more than 15 million US dollars. Today’s auction will definitely be more successful..."
At some point, a Chinese auctioneer appeared on the auction stage and spoke the opening remarks in Cantonese, Mandarin, English, and Japanese with a smile on his face.
Warm applause broke out from some places where Europeans and Americans gathered.
Where Asians, Hong Kong and Taiwan rich people gather, no one moves.
After the Chinese auctioneer finished his opening remarks, he did not start. Instead, he told a few American jokes, which made the Europeans and Americans burst into laughter.
"Business girls don't know how to forget their country and hate it, but they still sing songs in the backyard across the river."
A voice speaking broken Chinese came from the entrance to the auction house.
The entire auction house fell silent.
The Chinese auctioneer's expression suddenly became very stiff.
Cao Yi looked back and couldn't help but be startled. The person who came was none other than the Japanese Yoko.
