Infinite Stream Metaverse

Chapter 562
One thousand assimilation points?
A mere thousand assimilation points is really too low.

Of course, for an unknown strange object that doesn't understand the function at all, this price is also considered fair and reasonable.Moreover, even if you really understand the function of the Infernal Network Road map, if the player is not interested in the Warhammer 40K universe, then this thing is of no use to him.

"The map of the Infernal Network Road... what is that?"

Monroe turned to look at Moira and asked.

"I do not know."

Moira shook her head and said.

Although Monroe didn't know what the "Infernal Network Road Map" was, when he heard the words "from the Warhammer 40K universe", he immediately turned his head to look in Fu Qinghai's direction.

It turned out that the guy seemed to be still flirting with the long-haired beauty in glasses next to him. He didn't pay attention to what was being auctioned on the stage at all, and looked completely indifferent.

Is he acting...

Or really don't care at all?
"That guy didn't make an offer."

Monroe lowered his voice and said:

"It seems that it should not be a treasure."

"One thousand assimilation points, does anyone want to bid?"

The host looked around the entire venue.

If no bid is made, the item will be declared unsold.Those auctioned items used up nearly all the assimilation points of the reincarnators, but now everyone is generally cash-strapped, and not many people are willing to spend [-] assimilation points to buy a wordless book of unknown use.

After waiting for a long time, someone finally raised the sign.

"Okay, one thousand assimilation points."

The host said happily.

Monroe held up the sign tentatively.

"[-] assimilation points!"

The host immediately updated the quote.

Fu Qinghai raised his sign a second later.

"Two thousand assimilation points!"

Monroe Melville: "…"

If I don't lift it, you don't lift it.

If I make one move, you will follow?
……

At this time, outside the Continental Hotel.

Already, reincarnated people have started to leave the auction venue and the hotel lobby one after another. They have either spent all their assimilation points or bought their favorite items.They looked vigilant and walked hurriedly, leaving here soon after not staying long.

Some people may ask: Then why don't you stay and take a look at the following auction items?

Because these players are worried that they will encounter other envious players killing and stealing their treasures. After all, the Order Alliance can only control the interior of the Continental Hotel theoretically, and they will not intervene in the rest of the matter as long as they leave this gate.

Some people go out and others come in.

As vacancies began to appear in the auction venue, the Order Alliance also relaxed a little entry threshold, allowing some non-VIP ordinary players to enter the auction venue to participate in the auction. The Order Alliance was also very worried that subsequent items would not be auctioned after the players left.

A tall, thin man with curly hair and freckles walked into the auction venue after verifying his identity as an ordinary member. He found an empty seat and sat down, just as the host on the stage began to repeat the price:
"Two thousand assimilation points once."

"Two thousand assimilation points count twice."

Monroe Melville was very torn at the moment.

If you don't raise your card again, this map of the Infernal Network Road from the Warhammer 40K universe will be taken away by Qingshan.But he wasn't sure if the other party really wanted this thing, or if he was just routinely arguing with himself.Even the identification team of the Order Alliance couldn't see the purpose of the item, and he wasn't sure that it would be useful in his own hands.Although [-] assimilation points are not many, he has been dealt with by Qingshan several times before. Perfect humans have to spend an extra three to five thousand points to buy the target item every time, so it is inevitable that he is a little hesitant now.

Until a sign was raised in the distance.

Free him from the tangle.

"Oh, [-] assimilation points!"

The host pointed over there in surprise and said.

Monroe looked over his shoulder.

A young freckled youth holds up a sign.

He didn't know this strange player. Monroe turned his head to look at Fu Qinghai immediately, and found that the other player was also looking at him—and he didn't intend to raise his card.

really!This guy doesn't want any map of the Infernal Network Road at all, he just saw me raise the card so he raised the card, bastard, I won't be fooled by you again!

Monroe thought he had the answer.

So he didn't raise his sign either.

The two just stared at each other.

Until the host hammered the hammer and announced:

"[-] assimilation points three times...deal!"

"Congratulations Mr. Benzim."

The freckled youth went to the backstage to start the capital verification handover.

Fu Qinghai sat calmly on the seat without moving.

Monroe turned away without looking again.

Suddenly, a familiar feeling appeared in his heart.

"Benzim, Benzim...why does this surname sound familiar? Have I heard of this person?"

Monroe Melville thought about it for a moment and then gave up without recalling it, and did not continue to pay attention.

Monroe hadn't seen Ron.

In fact, another of his subordinates has seen Ron, the virus king Lev Alexandro, who once led a team to the Marvel (Earth-36) universe to establish a perfect human advancement base.When they captured Ron, they imprisoned him and wanted to strip the symbiote from his body.So Monroe felt a little familiar with this surname—but that was all. As the leader of the society, he would not deliberately remember the name of an ordinary prisoner.

Ron Benzem.

……

The auction is over.

The three of Fu Qinghai were almost empty-handed. They did not leave the Continental Hotel directly, but followed a staff member of the Order Alliance into the passageway behind the auction venue.

The passage is very long and gradually goes downwards, but it still maintains the consistent "John Wick" decoration style of the Order Alliance, with wallpapers, carpets, lamps, paintings and decorations.

Finally they came to a secret room.

Fu Qinghai's old acquaintance, Paredes.

Have been waiting here for a long time.

"Qing Shan, long time no see."

Paredes offered to stand up and shake hands.

"Long time no see, friend."

Fu Qinghai shook hands and cut straight to the point:
"So what's going on?"

Paredes did not directly explain.

Instead, he looked at the two sisters next to Fu Qinghai.

"It's okay."

Fu Qinghai waved his hand to show that they were all his own.

Chen Xinxue folded her hands on her chest and narrowed her eyes.

This guy actually questioned my relationship with Aoyama?

"You really want that helmet, don't you?"

Paredes asked.

"of course."

Fu Qinghai nodded.

"In fact, we have another piece of equipment here. Its effect is similar to that of the helmet, no, it is even stronger. Not only can it resist mind control and mind spying, but it can even resist the influence of spirits from high-dimensional beings—you came from Warhammer 40 Universe, you know what I'm talking about."

Paredes said seriously.

Psychic influences from higher dimensional beings...

Of course Fu Qinghai knew what it was.

The corruption of the Chaos evil god in the Warhammer 40K universe, the whispering of the void ancient gods in the World of Warcraft universe, and the most classic and hardcore, the spiritual pollution in the Cthulhu universe... can all be collectively referred to as "spiritual influence from high-dimensional existence ".

It is amazing to be able to resist the spiritual influence from high-dimensional existence. What kind of equipment can have such a powerful effect?The practice in the Warhammer 40K universe is usually to fight superstition with superstition, that is, to resist the corruption of the four gods through belief in the Emperor.

Fu Qinghai frowned and asked:
"Then why don't you put it up for auction?"

"Because this equipment has a major flaw, it has a negative effect, well, strictly speaking, it's not that serious, the key depends on whether you can accept it."

Paredes pointed to the coffee table chair:
"The three of you, please take a seat first. I'll ask them to bring over some black tea and snacks. Let's sit down and chat slowly."

All four sat down.

"Have you seen the movie "Watchmen"? "Watchmen" also belongs to the DC multiverse, but there is currently no intersection with the DC expanded universe."

Paredes looked at the three and asked.

"Of course, I love this movie."

Fu Qinghai immediately nodded to show that he had seen it.

"Then you are no stranger to this equipment."

Paredes said and pulled out a box.

When the lid was opened, there was a piece of sackcloth inside.

The vision of the radiant treasure as imagined did not appear. The three of them approached the box and took a closer look, and found that it was an ordinary white linen woven cloth bag.

Then Paredes took out the cloth bag from the box and shook it towards the three of them to unfold the front pattern. In the middle was a symmetrical abstract pattern smudged with some kind of black ink.

This pattern has a psychological term:

Rorschach inkblot test.

"Rorschach mask!?"

Fu Qinghai suddenly exclaimed.

"That's right, the Rorschach mask."

Paredes nodded.

"How come the Rorschach mask is in your hands... No, in my impression, the Rorschach mask is just a new type of technological fabric invented by Dr. Manhattan. The special function of psychic influence to maintain existence."

Fu Qinghai expressed his doubts.

"It was an accident."

Paredes explained with a mysterious smile:
"Do you remember the ending of "Watchmen", Aoyama? Rorschach was unwilling to compromise and begged Dr. Manhattan to kill him, and Dr. Manhattan annihilated him in the ice and snow... Only this mask remained."

"There's really nothing special about this mask. There's a viscous fluid in the double-layer fabric, which is sensitive to heat and pressure. It automatically changes color according to the wearer's body temperature. It's a new clothing material, that's all."

"But later, some reincarnators picked up this mask, and they found that this piece of cloth was actually contaminated with some kind of strange memetic property. As long as you wear this mask, your mental will will become extremely tough and powerful. It is so strong that it can be called stubborn, and it can be immune Any mental pollution and mind control."

Paredes then changed the subject:
"However, once you put on this mask, it will also change your personality drastically. It will not make you a different person, but it will amplify the paranoid elements in your character, becoming very stubborn and never willing to compromise, and return……"

Paredes paused at this point.

"How about it?"

Fu Qinghai asked.

"Also believes in so-called 'absolute justice.'"

Paredes said slightly embarrassedly.

"Absolute justice?"

Chen Xinxue couldn't help repeating.

"I also know that this word sounds a bit secondary, but this is the best description for this strange psychological effect. I don't know how to describe this kind of psychology other than 'absolute justice'. Anyway, according to our tests, anyone who wears it If you wear this mask, you will become jealous, and even paranoid to the point where you don’t care if you kill your relatives or enemies, it’s very extreme.”

Paredes spread his hands helplessly.

The three of Fu Qinghai looked at each other in blank dismay.

I wonder what kind of strange effect this is?
"So, are you interested in this mask?"

Paredes looked at Fu Qinghai and asked.

Fu Qinghai pondered for a moment, then said:
"To be honest, I actually like the superhero Rorschach very much. Even if this mask doesn't have any special functions and is just for collection value, I still want to buy it. Now it still has this special attribute... I want to know if Wei What is the price positioning of the Sequence Alliance for it?"

"You're very honest, Aoyama."

Paredes laughed:

"From the first time I met you, I noticed this characteristic in you. At that time, I realized that this man will surely achieve a career in the future. I thought you would list a bunch of shortcomings and bargain with me... ...Since you are so honest, then I will not pretend to be false, [-] assimilation points, this is the price we offer."

Paredes delivered a string of rainbow farts.

Belisarius Aoyama: A Great Cause.

Hearing that Chen Xinlu rolled her eyes beside her.

Frank?He should be honest.

Chen Xinlu commented in her heart:
The slag is frank and magnanimous, and the slag is righteous and confident.

"make a deal!"

Fu Qinghai agreed without thinking too much.

The two quickly reached a deal. Paredes pushed the box over after receiving [-] assimilation points, and Fu Qinghai put it in the white suitcase without checking the goods.

"Actually, for you, the value of the Rorschach mask is far more than that of Magneto's helmet. You are a space warrior. Once you wear Magneto's helmet, you can no longer wear your own helmet, but the Rorschach mask is just a Thin cloth bag, put the mask on and you can still wear the helmet."

Paredes added sweetly.

Many people really don't notice this detail.

Chen Xinxue watched the whole process with cold eyes.

There is a saying that "the authorities are obsessed and the bystanders are clear".

Chen Xinxue has already seen that the core reason why the Rorschach mask was not listed in the auction is not that the Rorschach mask has side effects at all.Paredes, or the Alliance of Order, reserved this equipment specially to curry favor with Qingshan.They are betting that Qingshan will definitely become a big boss in the future—no, Qingshan is already a big boss now.Maybe the Order Alliance got some news, which caused them to pay more attention to Qingshan.

Chen Xinxue is more aware of the style of the Order Maintenance Alliance than Fu Qinghai. They are not a fair platform. On the contrary, they are more like those famous Hollywood brokerage companies. It is their consistent style to divide their bets and see who gets the food.For example, Chen Xinxue bought Olivia's set of magic booster jewelry from the World of Warcraft universe. After Order Alliance received this set of jewelry, instead of holding a public auction, they contacted Chen Xinxue in private and asked her to come directly to buy it .

Although it still needs to be purchased with money, this purchasing power itself represents a screening threshold.

This is the same as the membership qualification review that the luxury industry loves to play most. Some people want to buy it but they can't.

……

After Paredes walked out of the customer reception room, he went to a more secret room deep underground in the hotel alone. The decoration in this room was in stark contrast to the outside decoration. The table and chairs were extremely simple and plain.

"Is that equipment given to him?"

asked an old man behind the desk.

"Yes, my lord."

Paredes nodded respectfully.

Then he was a little puzzled:
"My lord, I don't understand. Although such a powerful piece of equipment has some side effects, it shouldn't only be sold for [-] assimilation points. Isn't it a bit too cheap for him?"

Paredes said exaggeratedly:

"In my opinion, the Rorschach mask is so effective that it can even be compared to the two undead masks in the reincarnation world."

Paredes' so-called "Two Undead Masks in the Reincarnation World" are the rankings summarized by the players themselves, namely: Michael Myers' latex mask in "Moonlight Panic" and Jason Wool in "NO.13 Friday" Hess's baseball mask. These masks also have various negative effects, but they all have one common feature: they can resurrect the wearer infinitely.

"Your news is too late, Paredes."

The old man shook his head and said.

"I beg your lord to inform me."

Paredes bowed his head and said.

"Did you know that in the Marvel (Earth-36) universe, the Chitauri's home planet has disappeared from the star map, and collectors are recruiting the last Chitauri from all over the universe?"

the old man asked.

"Uh, I heard a little bit."

Paredes froze for a moment and said.

"Did you know that in the Pacific Rim universe, the plot line event ended within three days? There are no villains in the entire reincarnation world, and the players are all at a loss."

The old man continued to ask.

"This, I don't know."

Paredes admitted honestly.

"He blew up two planets."

The old man said casually:
"Homeworld of the Chitauri and the Harbinger."

"He put two planets... what!?"

Paredes was shocked.

"According to my research, that's it."

The old man said for sure.

"My goodness……"

Paredes put his head in his hands.

I tried my best to think about whether there was any injustice in my attitude just now... The Alliance of Order would not be able to offend a fierce man who would blow up a planet at every turn.
