I, who was supposed to slay dragons, accidentally started cultivating immortals

Chapter 195 The auction begins

Thanks to Caesar's remodeled Bugatti Veyron, Lu Mingfei only took a few hours to reach the auction site even including the time spent walking in the wilderness. At this moment, there are still four days before the auction officially starts. Hour.

Following the waitress into the real auction site, Lu Mingfei used the bank card given by the school to verify his assets, and was then held in the VIP lounge to wait for the auction to officially start—this time the mission funds were sufficient. With 2000 million U.S. dollars, such assets are enough for Lu Mingfei to be regarded as a high-quality client by the auction house.

Of course, this huge amount of cash does not belong to Lu Mingfei. After the mission is over, he needs to hand over the rest of the lot together with the lot and related procedures to the equipment department—and then a small part of the lot will become his "reward." ".

He originally had psychological barriers to this kind of greedy behavior, but Ange once told him frankly that he would steal 800 million from the school board's allocation every year to subsidize his old life, and told him earnestly There is no need to be polite to the school board when it comes to currency. Their hands are either syndicates or trusts, and they can make money at full speed when necessary, and they can even beat the money printing machine.

Since Principal Angers said so and practiced it, Lu Mingfei obviously has no reason to be hypocritical, not to mention that the equipment department's annual money for ink is much more than the principal's personal expenditure.

After checking whether there was anything like monitoring in the lounge, Lu Mingfei sat on the velvet sofa and took out documents from his briefcase—or mission-related materials.

These materials can be said to be quite detailed, so detailed that Lu Mingfei can swear that this is definitely not something that the equipment department can produce.

This document not only introduces the characteristics and taboos of this kind of underground auction, but also explains the auction process in detail. As long as you read it carefully, even if you participate in the auction for the first time, there should be nothing you don’t understand. It can almost be called a beginner's guide for fools.

This style of treating each goal as if it were a primary school student who has not yet graduated is a typical Norma style. She is not only the secretary of the whole school, but also the housekeeper of the equipment department.

Relying on his photographic memory and reading speed of ten lines at a glance, Lu Mingfei took down all the information in a short time, then put them into his briefcase, and leaned back on the soft and elastic sofa back , Leaving some awareness to alert the outside world, slowly close your eyes and enter the sea of ​​consciousness.

In the Sea of ​​Consciousness space, Lu Mingfei communicated with the heavenly book, the heavenly book trembled slightly, and the invisible hemispherical field expanded, and the familiar girl appeared in front of Lu Mingfei again, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and picturesque features.

Although now in Lu Mingfei's eyes, she is more terrifying than the Alien Queen.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Mingfei raised a golden flame that was much stronger than before, and then the golden flame rushed towards the girl...

A minute and a half later, half of Lu Mingfei's body was burned to ashes.

……

There was a gentle and rhythmic knock on the door outside, and the waitress reminded him through the door with a polite and crisp voice that the auction would be ready for admission in 5 minutes—there was a doorbell outside the lounge, but the girl spoke softly The call of the door is obviously more soothing than the doorbell, so the girls will not ring the doorbell unless the guest has been suspected of falling asleep for a long time.

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes, but there was still a bit of numbness towards death in his eyes—in just a few hours, he died nearly [-] times.

Ever since his first actual combat training in the Sea of ​​Consciousness and his throat cut by a swordsman, Lu Mingfei has gradually understood a truth that other people are unlikely to understand - death is something you can get used to.

As long as people die more times, they will feel that it is nothing to die.

In the beginning, when he sparred with the swordsman, he could only rely on mana to stabilize the spirit platform when he died, so as to reduce the shadow of death infinitely. However, as the number of deaths gradually increased, his resistance to death and injury also increased. Incredible speed increase.

So far, even if he doesn't use mana to stabilize the altar, he can still fight in the space of the sea of ​​consciousness without changing his face, even if he is killed, he can quickly adjust his mentality.

But normally speaking, he still knows how to use mana. After all, even if he can fight with a normal heart without fear of injury or death, the quick thinking and careful observation brought by mana can also significantly increase his strength.

After being promoted to Xuanzhao, his first sparring opponent was a swordsman, but a swordsman who had been upgraded to Xuanzhao—and then he was beaten badly for a time.

Fortunately, when he was breathing, his strength was already higher than that of the swordsman, and he also had experience in fighting the swordsman. It was like challenging a difficult boss with a higher difficulty after defeating a boss with an easy difficulty, so it was useless It didn't take long to defeat the swordsman again in Xuanzhaojing.

Then he felt that it was necessary for him to exercise his control over the fire technique, so he found the heavenly book and projected the girl who had tortured and killed him thousands of times just now.

Facts have proved that it is not wise to skip the easy difficulty boss and directly challenge the difficult difficulty. Lu Mingfei, who has not been able to survive the girl's projection for 3 minutes, has given up the restricted use of swordsmanship several times in frustration and smashed the girl's boss. But as long as he dares to use pure fire to fight the girl, he will definitely be burned to ashes.

Christianity says that Jesus voluntarily died once in order to atone for the sins of all the people in the world. Since then, everyone in the world owes Jesus a life.

Lu Mingfei felt that sooner or later, the number of times he died in the sea of ​​consciousness would exceed the total population of the world. At that time, he might go to the Vatican to ask the Pope if he would like to replace the statue of Jesus with his own—although he did not People in the world died once, but the number of times he died has exceeded that of people in the world.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Mingfei picked up the briefcase, left the umbrella in the room, walked to the door and opened it.

"what!"

The blond-haired waitress standing outside the door exclaimed and couldn't help but take a half step back—the Asian boy brought by her a few hours ago had a completely different look from when he first entered.

Although the boy who just came in was dressed plainly and his face was a little green and immature, there was an aura that made people want to get close to him unconsciously.

As a waiter at the auction, she has met many important people due to the nature of her work, but she has never seen anyone like this boy, so that she was a little absent-minded during the last few hours of work—to put it bluntly, she might Go crazy like those little girls who are not deeply involved in the world.

When she called the boy outside the door just now, she was secretly happy to see him again, but when the door opened, she met a pair of indifferent lacquer eyes.

It is not as sharp as a sword, nor as cold as a glacier, and even as soft as water—but what is hidden under the water is a coolness as strong as the night, as if it reaches the bone marrow and the depths of the soul , reminded her of...death.

"what happened?"

Lu Mingfei lowered his eyes, so that the waitress couldn't see his eyes clearly.

Before that, his duels were all late at night, and after the end of the duel, he would take a nap for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, his heart would have been cleared, so that he only realized today that every time he fought against the projection, he would show as if The expression and demeanor of having just returned from a near death on the battlefield.

He could use mana to dissipate this state immediately, but he immediately thought that as a customer participating in the auction, maybe his current appearance could actually scare some potential competitors and weaken their thoughts of bidding against him.

So let's keep it that way for now.

"Can I go to the venue now?"

Lu Mingfei lowered his eyes and asked softly.

"There are still about 4 minutes. I can lead you there now, and it should be just in time for the venue."

The waitress showed excellent professionalism, and in less than a second, the slight fright in her face and eyes was suppressed, revealing the dignified and enthusiastic smile of the waiter.

"Please lead the way."

Lu Mingfei nodded, and followed the waiter who walked gracefully in high heels.

……

Walking through several passages covered with sheep felt carpets, walls decorated with walnut wood, and crystal lights hanging from the top, Lu Mingfei followed the waiter and walked to a painted red door that had been opened.

Although it is underground, the interior decoration is comparable to that of top business hotels, luxurious and elegant, but it reveals a style of the 50s everywhere, even if it is resplendent, it is resplendent from the previous world.

Walking into the auction venue, Lu Mingfei walked to his place under the leadership of the waiter, while looking around.

He has never been to an auction before, so he doesn't know if this is the layout of a common auction venue, but he has gone to an opera with Su Xiaoqiang and he feels that the venue is somewhat similar to an opera house, even the front stage is like an opera house A huge red curtain hangs down.

It’s just that the stage here is smaller than that of the opera house, and the curtain is more gorgeous—it’s more colorful than the curtain of the opera house, and it also uses gold threads to outline complex and gorgeous patterns on it, both like The blooming roses are somewhat similar to a shield with ferocious jagged edges.

In the venue, there are six marble pillars surrounding the sky, which are covered with complicated reliefs, extending from the ground to the dome. The dome is hung with a huge crystal lamp like an upside-down pine tree. The golden light illuminates the dome. The completed starry sky zenith map, the position and distance between the stars and the stars strictly reproduce the real night sky, the stars with silver powder are shining in the light, and the surrounding walls are decorated with huge colorful oil paintings.

Follow the waiter to find his seat. The seat number is marked with a brass nameplate on the red suede seat. There is an exquisite solid wood small table next to it with a number plate. His seat is in the middle of the "audience seat" At the back, if this is an opera house, then its location happens to be the "golden viewing area".

Lu Mingfei sat down and thanked the waiter politely. Then the waiter left, and other guests were seated around him one after another. Most of them were dressed in elegant tuxedos and evening dresses. The men had greasy hair and embroidery on their white shirts. Wear thin silk or gauze gloves.

These people may go to the set of "The Godfather" to guest-star noble gentlemen and rich families.

Scanning the guests seated around him, Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

Most of the guests who came here were men and women, and there were a few of them who were alone like Lu Mingfei. Some of the young ladies who came alone walked near Lu Mingfei, and their eyes were attracted to him uncontrollably, but then they looked at him again. With indifferent and cold eyes, he retreated.

With the last guest seated, the auction officially began.
