Chapter 1,171 Auction (Part 1)

The next morning, Jiang Chen stretched and sat up from the bed. Ｗｗ　Ｗ

After washing up, Jiang Chen yawned and walked into the kitchen next to him, took out a box of instant pasta and a box of milk from the storage space, and stuffed them into the microwave on the cabinet.

After putting milk and pasta with tomato sauce on the table, Jiang Chen was about to enjoy breakfast when Lu Fan knocked on the door and walked in. After standing in front of him, he gave a military salute.

"Boss Yuan, this is the invitation letter sent by the hotel manager."

"Invitation card?"

Yawning, Jiang Chen put down the fork in his hand, took the invitation from Lu Fan, opened it and glanced at it, with an expression of interest on his face.

There is an auction at the Royal Hotel at ten o'clock in the morning, held in the lobby on the second floor. What he is holding is the invitation letter for this auction, which also comes with an admission ticket.

Although he did not register to participate in the auction, since he was staying in the presidential suite on the top floor, the hotel manager certainly would not miss such a wealthy person. Regardless of whether he had registered to participate in the auction, he ordered someone to send him to him respectfully. He received an invitation letter and prepared a VIP box for him, complete with the most beautiful placard bearer.

After all, except for the real rich, no one stays in the presidential suite that costs 200 crystals a night.

You know, the profit from hunting a deathclaw is only about 50 crystals. The price of staying for one night is equivalent to fighting 4 deathclaws. In addition to having too much money and nowhere to spend it, even wealthy people with small assets will not waste money on accommodation.

Anyway, I don’t have any other plans in the morning, so I’ll check it out later.

With this in mind, Jiang Chen threw the invitation aside and continued to enjoy his breakfast.

…

There are still ten minutes left before the auction starts.

Under the reception of the waiter, Jiang Chen entered the auction venue from the VIP passage and came to the VIP box prepared for him by the Dihao Hotel.

Respectfully opening the wooden door, the waiter bowed slightly to Jiang Chen, then stepped aside and made a gesture to invite him inside.

Decorative red wooden beams pass through the roof, the wooden floor is covered with a velvet rug woven from unknown animal skins, and antique furniture is lined up in the room of dozens of square meters. Even by pre-war standards, the décor could be described as extremely luxurious.

VIP room,

A beautiful placard bearer in cheongsam was standing at the mahogany table.

When she saw Jiang Chen, she bowed to him with a smile, and the collar of her cheongsam inadvertently exposed a large area of ​​snow-white skin. Every frown and every smile, every gesture, is filled with a bit of sultry temptation.

After looking at this VIP room for a few times, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. To be able to hold such a large property on Ping'an Street, the boss who wanted to come here is also a powerful person.

Of course, no matter how powerful you are, you are nothing in front of him.

So he just sighed, but there was no wave in his heart.

At this moment, the waiter took out a business card from his arms and handed it to him respectfully.

"This is our boss's business card. I hope you will accept it without hesitation."

"Business card?" Jiang Chen took the business card and looked through it casually with a smile, "Your boss's name is Mei Zhiyong?"

"Exactly," a flash of pride flashed across the waiter's face, "The Royal Hotel is just one of the properties under our boss's name. Although he has not joined the Survivors Alliance, that gentleman's forces in Shangjing City have formed alliances with several survivors. The members are only among the best."

"So your boss is very powerful?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

The waiter smiled, not at all arrogant because of his status as the boss, and said respectfully.

"I don't mean anything else. Just from your accent, you should be from the south. Our boss recently bought two caravans and is doing business with the survivor settlement in Wanghai City. As the saying goes, one more friend is another. Well, my boss has told me that if I see a big businessman from the south, I must treat him well and hand him his business card... So, I hope you, sir, will stay safe."

"The process of the auction will be introduced to you by the placard bearer. I wish you can find the treasure you like at the auction."

After bowing again, the waiter did not bother Jiang Chen anymore and walked out of the door in a sensible manner.

After entering the room, Jiang Chen sat on the old man's chair and looked at the dark crowd in the auction hall.

The windows of the VIP pavilion are one-way transparent glass. From the outside, you can only see a blurry figure inside, but from the inside, the outside is extremely clear. It can be said that the privacy of the guests in the VIP room is guaranteed to the maximum extent. privacy.

After all, what will be auctioned here are not only valuable things, but also some "unknown origins". If someone remembers the appearance, it will be a problem after all.

It is for this reason that even if they are sitting in ordinary seats in the venue, bidders will wear masks randomly distributed by the hotel, with only one number representing their respective identities.

Presenting a pamphlet, the beautiful placard holder said with a smile.

"Here is the catalog of auction items. If you like something, just tell me?"

"Oh, I see."

After casually responding, Jiang Chen took the booklet and flipped through a few pages.

In terms of specifications, the level of this auction is undoubtedly quite high. Putting aside the dozens of VIP and VIP boxes, there were hundreds of businessmen and wealthy people sitting in the ordinary seats in the hall alone. The larger the size of the auction, the more good things will come from it.

And this is indeed the case. When he was flipping through the booklet, Jiang Chen's face suddenly showed a trace of interest...or a surprised and intriguing smile.

"It's actually here?" He muttered to himself, sliding his fingers over the lot, writing down the number, and turning to the next page calmly.

The venue was crowded, and a light suddenly lit up on the platform in the center.

Amidst the noise, the host stepped onto the platform, clapped his hands, motioned everyone to look towards him, and then announced the start of the auction...

Generally speaking, the process here is similar to the current world.

The host made the auction items so exciting that all the local tycoons competed to raise their placards. The auction items are also very diverse, including bulk commodities that bankrupt businessmen are eager to get rid of, as well as ingenious high-tech products, a box of canned beef, and even live people.

"...The next auction item is, Zhao Qiuran! Many people should have heard of her name. Yes, she is the lone traveler in Haizhou. Because of a mistake, she was captured by a predator gang. .By the way, the seller has not played it in order to get a good price. You know what I mean. Ahem. Muscle strength 41, bone strength 30, reflex nerve 37, brain cell activity 13, marksmanship rating s, fighting skills Rating A+, stealth rating B... Starting price is 1,500 sub-crystals!"

A woman with disheveled hair, in an orz position, was fixed on a cart with a metal bracket, and pushed to the center of the platform by two gun-wielding bodyguards. Under the light, the host grabbed her disheveled hair and showed her appearance to the buyers sitting in the audience. (To be continued.)
