Chapter 798 A Ruby
When the two were observing each other silently, the spotlight came down suddenly. Although Tao Bao didn't find it dazzling, she still reacted quickly and raised her hand to block her eyes like an ordinary person.

It was such a detail that the man in front of her had a look of contempt in his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth widened a bit.

He took a step forward to protect her from the dazzling spotlight, and also raised his hand to cover it.

The blond beauty on the stage took the microphone and said with a smile: "This gentleman seems very considerate, but everyone else has already started dancing, and there is not much time left, so hurry up and start!"

Kouchi Kojiro raised his hand in an OK gesture, and the spotlight left the two of them.

"Ma'am, I wonder if I have the honor to dance with you?" He bent slightly and stretched out his hand in front of Tao Bao, his movements were standard.

Tao Bao nodded and put his hand on it.

Accompanied by gentle music, the two walked slowly at a specific pace.

While paying attention to Gong Ming, Tao Bao probed the man in front of him up and down.

But he didn't know that he was naked in the eyes of others, and he was still contemptuous in his heart, pretending to be a gentleman to spy on the news.

"Beautiful lady, I don't know your name yet."

Tao Bao smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry sir, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Embarrassment flashed across Wuchi Kojiro's face. He knew that his Chinese was not very good, but he still felt very embarrassed by Tao Bao pointing it out so directly.

"It's nothing, madam, why did you come to this dance?" Ouchi Kojiro said word by word, his eyes fixed on Tao Bao, as if she would stop talking if she said she didn't understand.

Tao Bao really pretended not to understand. He showed a sorry and embarrassed smile again, and tilted his head slightly, "Ah? I'm sorry, maybe the music is too loud, but I still can't hear it clearly. Can you repeat it again?" Is it? I'm so sorry!"

Her eyes were so sincere, and her expression was so real, Wuuchi Kojiro wanted to have a fit, but he just endured it, smiled at her, shook his head, and stopped talking.

He raised his head slightly, and Tao Bao could catch him rolling his eyes.

Compared with that woman, this person is so far behind, I really can't hold back.

The two stopped talking, Tao Bao's spiritual sense had been paying attention to Gong Ming's situation all the time, and it was amused to see that he was about to collapse after being questioned by that woman.

But soon the dance time was over, the woman didn't get too many useful things, and when others didn't pay attention, there was still a hint of irritation in her eyes.

"Okay everyone, please follow our waiter and move to the next door, the show is about to begin!"

Listening to the host's words, Tao Bao let go of Wuuchi Kojiro, smiled at him, and walked towards Gong Ming while staggering him.

Gong Ming also happened to come over. The two looked at each other, smiled at each other, and joined hands tacitly, following the flow to the next door.

Next door is a large room with rows of seats on both sides, and each seat has a number plate, which is obviously a prop prepared for the auction later.

Everyone's seat has been arranged in advance. Under the guidance of the waiter, Tao Bao and Gong Ming sat in the middle of the third row.

Four people came one after another, and they sat on both sides of Tao Bao. There were two seats between each group, so that everyone would not be too unfamiliar, and at the same time, they could keep their privacy.

When we got here, we basically stopped talking after we sat down, and waited silently for the opening.

At [-]:[-], the last group of people in the arena was also seated, and the gate was closed.A man and a woman walked from the backstage to the auction stage in front.

Auctions, the process is similar, the highest bidder wins.

After the host finished talking about the scene, he went straight to the topic.The first few items were all famous paintings and antiques. Some people bid for the auction, but the scene was very harmonious, everyone was humble to each other, and there was no smell of gunpowder at all.

Even the whole place seemed a little too deserted.

Such a situation was completely expected, no one left even though it was deserted, Tao Bao knew that they were all waiting for something, and the current lack of excitement was only temporary.

Time passed by, one by one, auction items were brought up and then auctioned off, until the host pushed a heavy password box onto the stage, the auction house, which was originally stagnant, began to have ripples.

Everyone remained silent, and their eyes never left the lockbox since it appeared.

The door opened, and ten armed security guards walked in, guarding an ordinary-looking old man. Tao Bao could feel that the atmosphere was boiling at this moment.

Looking sideways at Gong Ming beside him, he also looked at the old man with burning eyes, and even his breathing became a little short.

Tao Bao raised his eyebrows, and cast his eyes on the old man.

He stepped onto the stage, and the host immediately came over to help him. The old man raised his hand vigorously, and walked up by himself, rejecting the host's hospitality.

There is no nonsense. Everyone here tonight is rushing to the lock box. The old man obviously knows this very well and directly raised his hand to signal the host to start.

The host nodded, knelt down and opened the password box, and took out a black box.

This box is not simple, the size of a palm, but there are countless mechanisms on it, if the old man is not present, the host would not dare to take it.

Because once he touches the mechanism above, the defensive weapons deployed in the entire venue can kill him, the kind with missing limbs.

The host carefully took out the box and slowly put it on the auction stage.

After putting away the things, his forehead and nose were covered with sweat, he wiped it off quickly, and asked the old man to open the box.

The old man smiled and stepped forward to open the complicated box, and a red gem the size of a pigeon egg appeared in front of everyone.

At this moment, everyone gasped and took a few deep breaths before continuing to sit calmly.

The scene was too quiet, and Gong Ming wanted to tell Tao Bao the old man's information, but he didn't find a chance to speak.

Tao Bao felt his nervousness, turned around and smiled at him, and then continued to observe the ruby.

It is said to be a ruby, but in fact it is just a resemblance, with a similarity of 90.00% fake, and those who do not know the product may really take it as a ruby.

The weirdness of this gem is not its appearance, but its material, and the little liquid that is placed in the gem.

She didn't know the specific ingredients, Tao Bao had no knowledge of biochemistry, but she felt that this thing was a bit like a potion for developing abilities.

However, the medicine in the ruby ​​​​is obviously still an unfinished product. The liquid is active and uncontrollable. If it is not used well, it is still an extremely dangerous thing.

But from another perspective, it has extremely high research value. Once obtained, it will become easier to research related aspects.

Tao Bao was actually quite surprised, she didn't expect that this kind of thing had been researched in advance without knowing it.

Sure enough, human wisdom cannot be underestimated.
