Chapter 429 Star Auction
Meng Ke wanted to laugh. It was just a piece of clothing. Seeing how happy Tiantian was, she reached out and held Luo Tiantian's trembling hand. "Okay! I'll ask a designer to make a set for us. It's unique for both of us."
Luo Tian was surprised: "Really!"
"Ok!"
Ouyang Kong's face darkened instantly, and he looked at Qingyou.
There was no change on Qingyou's face, but the smile in her eyes had completely disappeared.
How could Meng Ke not know what these two people were thinking? He quickly explained, "They all have it! You all have it. Each of you is unique."
These words successfully cooled the cold aura surrounding Ouyang Kong: "Alright! Let's go!"
He looks like he's wearing a uniform on the outside, but in fact he's wearing a special combat uniform underneath, so he doesn't need to change.
The four of them set off and soon arrived at the outskirts of the black market.
Meng Ke looked through the glass and was a little surprised: "Why is there a military patrol?"
She thought the black market was a dark and shameful place, just like what was described in the novels of her previous life.
Ouyang Kong was unhappy with his wife getting so close to Luo Tian. He pinched her fingers to pull her back a little before speaking, "This is the Alliance's military hub. How could we allow darkness to thrive? The Star Market is only known as the black market, but in reality, all transactions are controlled by the military."
Meng Ke suddenly thought of something: "So the strange rules of the Star Auction were also thought up by the military?"
"Yes! You know his son."
Meng Ke guessed: "The father is weird, so the son is not much behind. I don't think anyone I know is this weird."
"Does Liang Fei still remember?"
"Remember, my fellow vegetable thief!"
"His father is the person in charge of the Star Auction."
Meng Ke slapped his thigh and said, "Oh my! With this guy here, I can walk sideways! Wait, I'm going to find this guy and get in through the backdoor."
Luo Tian turned around and said, "Wife, didn't you say that Major General Song at the base had already given our family a backdoor?"
"That's right! Don't bother two people with the same thing. Maybe next time!"
Luo Tian tilted his head and leaned on his wife's shoulder and said coquettishly: "I want to come next time too."
"Okay! Next time if we're going the same way, I'll take you with me."
Luo Tian was not very satisfied with this answer, but he did not make a fuss because they had already arrived at the Star Auction Building.
After the flying car landed, Meng Ke sighed, "It's so rare to see a car parked on the first floor of a building like this."
The invitation letter was used for entry, and the optical computer automatically recognized it. As soon as they entered the inspection door, Luo Tian's Meng Ke had the same shocked expression: "Wow!"
The four of them looked up at the towering sky at the same time.
“I didn’t expect this auction to be so interesting.”
Interest flashed in Qingyou's eyes.
At this time, Wutong stepped forward to explain the auction rules: "The auction venue is divided into three levels of seating: ordinary seats, VIP tables, and supreme private rooms. Ordinary seats are one person per seat, VIP tables are five people per table, and supreme private rooms are twelve people per table. This is the maximum number of people allowed by the auction. Anyone exceeding the limit will be kicked out."
Meng Ke discovered that the space inside was dozens of times larger than the outside. It was obvious that space technology was used in its construction. The entire building was circular, with hundreds of huge chains hanging in the middle, hundreds of meters high. Each chain was about five meters apart. At this moment, someone was climbing up in the circle.
There is a small empty area on the left side of the giant chain array, and further on, there is a large metal rope hanging down. The metal rope is very smooth, and it is impossible to climb up if you don't have enough physical strength.
The right side of the giant chain array was very empty, with only two slender buildings that looked like metal garbage dumps. Hanging above the buildings were also similar conical buildings, separated by about ten meters in the middle.
Luo Tian pointed at that place and asked curiously: "Why are all these metal wastes welded together and piled here?"
Wutong explained to Luo Tian, "This is the path to the Supreme Private Room. The chains in the middle lead to the ordinary seats, while the metal ropes on the other side lead to the VIP tables. From the very beginning, the Star Auction has always been about the strong being respected. Whichever path you take will determine the corresponding treatment."
Luo Tian looked at the pile of metal that had broken the path, then at the chains and metal ropes, and immediately decided: "Shall we climb the chains?"
Meng Ke looked at Luo Tian's belly and didn't want him to squeeze into the ordinary area. At this time, Wutong said: "Our invitation is to the Supreme Private Room, just jump in."
"Jump?"
When Meng Ke heard this word, his eyebrows twitched. Luo Tian and Qingyou were not in a good situation to jump.
"Can't we use a flying board?"
As soon as Qingyou asked this question, the person who was invited in front gave the answer.
The flying board rose less than ten meters and then suddenly fell down as if it had lost energy.
Wutong explained at the right moment: "The invitation letter states that the use of technological means to reach the summit is not allowed."
Ouyang Kong observed him more closely: "I'm afraid this road isn't as short as it appears to be, just two or three hundred meters?"
"Yes! Look how fast that person is climbing. At his speed, he should be able to finish the climb in less than a minute, but now it's almost two minutes, and he's still halfway there."
Luo Tian pointed at a person he had been paying attention to from the beginning. That person was the fastest among all the climbers.
"To spice things up, the auction house will occasionally prepare small surprises for guests in the general and VIP areas. In Mr. Yiluo and Mr. Qing's situations, it's best not to choose these two areas."
"A little surprise? What little surprise?"
Luo Tian was quite curious and eager to try it out.
The dream was terrifying. He pounced on the person when he was not paying attention and quickly hugged him in his arms: "You are curious, we can stand here and watch for a while, but there is no need to take action. If Big Brother knew that we were messing around, he would definitely not allow you to go out next time."
Luo Tian originally wanted to ask his wife to accompany him, but after hearing the following words, he immediately stopped and decided to forget it. When he got pregnant in the future, he would still like to go out and play with his wife.
Suddenly, screams were heard one after another. The four of them looked over immediately and saw three people on a metal rope falling at the same time. Luo Tian's grip on Meng Ke's arm tightened. Just as he closed his eyes and dared not look, he heard Meng Ke's comforting voice: "Tiantian, they are fine."
Meng Ke's voice sounded so safe that Luo Tian's heart, which had nearly jumped out of his chest, quickly fell back down. He opened one eye and saw three people lying on a white cloud.
"What happened just now?"
Luo Tian asked Wutong, who had found quite comprehensive information in advance: "This is a little surprise prepared in advance for the auction. It will occasionally draw out metal ropes or metal chains to release lightning."
This is also the reason why Wutong said Qingyou and Luo Tian are not suitable to choose the ordinary area and VIP area.
Luo Tian disagreed: "My combat suit can block lightning, I'm not afraid!"
"Their little surprises also include broken ropes, thorns, and fallen objects..."
There is no need for Wutong to explain what broken ropes, thorns and fallen objects are, because there are guests who have "won the prize" and have been caught in the trap.
Seeing people falling one after another, Luo Tian was a little confused: "Aren't businessmen supposed to put their customers first? What's the point of them doing this, turning away customers from a thousand meters away?"
Ouyang Kong glanced at him and said, "Didn't you see? There are safety measures in place. At most, they'll get hurt a little, nothing serious. On the contrary, the guests are having a blast. Look at their expressions."
Luo Tian looked over as Ouyang Kong said. Indeed, those who fell down were not angry at all. Instead, they were more eager to fight, as if they were ready to roll up their sleeves and fight a big battle.
"Let's go! Let's go and take a look at our Supreme Road."
Ouyang Kong took the lead and walked forward.
Meng Ke approached Wutong worriedly and asked, "Are there those little surprises here too?"
"No, the road to supremacy is cut off, and only those who reach it will be respected."
Meng Ke felt it wouldn't be that easy, so she went to the pile of thin conical metal parts and saw that there were many sharp parts in it. How could she climb it?
"Are you sure you're told to climb up, not fly up?"
“Few people can go up to the Supreme Room, but you, Lieutenant General, can definitely go up there.”
Wutong has great confidence in Mengke's abilities.
Meng Ke glanced at him sideways: "It's useless to praise me, what else should I pay attention to?"
"The spatial technology is operating on the entire middle floor. Judging by the speed at which the guests nearby are climbing, the area in the middle of the Supreme Road should be the one with the highest folding rate."
Meng Ke pouted and complained: "This auction is really shit!"
Luo Tian looked at the chain next to him and suggested excitedly: "Wife, how about we climb the chain next to us!"
He felt that he could definitely do it.
Meng Ke pinched his fingertips: "Your current situation is not suitable."
Luo Tian pouted and shook Meng Ke's arm: "I saw it all. It's not like every chain has a little surprise. I've always been lucky since I was a child, so I definitely won't win a prize."
