Chapter 231 In the Bright City
The 101st day.

Blood Arena, Sports Building, Editorial Department.

The invitational tournament is in full swing, attracting the attention of most people in the city, but some aborigines are working harder and staying up late.

In the strange yet familiar editor's office, Fang Nuonuo was sitting on the sofa next to the coffee table with a cup of hot coffee in front of him.There were several other men and women in the room, and relaxed and freehand chatting and laughing came out from time to time.

These are her former colleagues.

Of course, compared to the past, the identities of the two parties have undergone tremendous changes today.

As a key member of Smile Group, the entire editorial department was in a hurry and flustered during this visit.

It took Fang Nuonuo a lot of effort to let the other party understand that this was not an official behavior, and it took more time to let go of their instinctive tension and fear.

Fortunately, she has never had a fierce and murderous aura, and her words are soft and sincere. The editor-in-chief and colleagues gradually let go of their guards, as if seeing the low-key and hardworking girl from before.

……

"It's true, you have worked here, so you know that the editorial department can't touch any real secrets." The editor-in-chief scratched his head mockingly, and then emphasized to her as if reminding her, "But you still have to know, If you come in carelessly like this, even if it is a trivial editorial department, there will be many people staring at you outside..."

"That really doesn't matter." Fang Nuonuo smiled, "It's a waste of energy to stare at me. I'm not in charge of espionage work."

"Yes, yes!" A young male editor poked the editor-in-chief and said excitedly, "They have the legendary [crow]! Do you need Nuonuo to do this job?"

"Hmm."

"Hey, Nuonuo, [Crow] really—"

"Stop gossiping." The editor-in-chief raised his hand to stop the male editor, "Although Nuonuo is here to visit us, there is actually something he wants to do, right?"

"Yes." She nodded with a smile, "Two things."

"Well, if you have anything to say, just say it. Although the energy is limited, we are all happy to help."

"That's right, I want to know about the venue where the [Auction] is held." Fang Nuonuo didn't make a fool of himself, and said directly, "Everyone knows that that building will appear the day after tomorrow. The editorial department must have written a lot about it Promo, so I figured you'd know more details..."

She's still looking for the dead elevator.

Even if the entire city doesn't have one, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Because this is a [stronghold], even though it looks more and more like a [city], it is still a game [stronghold].

Buildings can be built out of thin air.

And now, known, there is a building that is about to be built.

The [Auction] is scheduled to be held on the 104th day, and according to the public statement of the mailer, on the 103rd day, the [Commercial Building] specially designed for the auction will be grandly unveiled in front of all citizens and tourists.

That would be the most technologically advanced building to date.

Therefore, Fang Nuonuo had reason to suspect that the elevator would appear in this new building.

……

"Of course, we have written too many things for [Commercial Building] and [Auction]." The editor-in-chief looked at her in confusion, "But... Nuonuo, you know very well how low our authority is...we What we know is only what the upper echelon wants us to know. I don’t know anything about the inside story.”

"I don't want to know the inside story." Fang Nuonuo smiled, and she took a sip of coffee slowly, "It's just out of interest...to find out."

"However, for this kind of thing, even the information you get directly from the lord is more comprehensive than the editorial department..."

"That's right." Fang Nuonuo shook his head lightly, "But this is my private action, not an instruction from [Smile]. This point may be difficult to understand."

"Ah, you still have such a personality." The editor-in-chief adjusted his glasses, but he didn't seem surprised. "Besides, the power structure in the forest area is obviously very different from ours."

"Great difference."

"This matter couldn't be easier to handle," the editor-in-chief pointed to the piles of printouts in the corner, "over there are our first drafts and scrap drafts, all the details that need to be publicized are there. It's not a valuable thing, if you want to See, take all you can."

"Thank you." Fang Nuonuo nodded and looked directly at the other party. "The second thing is a little bit personal...I want to buy one of your items."

"Me?" The editor-in-chief's eyes widened, "Do I have any good products here?"

"It's the brass compass you've always carried with you." Fang Nuonuo said calmly, "The one I've always carried with you since the first time I saw you."

"Ah, you mean [Bright Defile]." The editor-in-chief began to grope in his inner pocket as he spoke, and quickly took out a slightly old copper compass, "One of the items left over from the lord's era, it's actually nothing big Use it, you can point the way. I haven’t used it for a long time since I was in the office. I kept it, just because other valuables were taken away..."

"Have you authenticated it?"

"Not yet, but I plan to take the opportunity to go to the building for free to appraise after the auction starts. Why, is it really a serial item?"

"I'll tell you the truth, nine out of ten times it is."

"Oh, so this is still a treasure?" The editor-in-chief narrowed his eyes and looked out the window vigilantly, "I have to remind you again, Nuonuo, there are many people here..."

"Thank you, I know I will be targeted." Fang Nuonuo said frankly, "But it doesn't matter either, because I've already got there first."

"Yes, once your words come out, everyone will think that there is a mystery to this thing. Even if I don't sell it to you..." The editor-in-chief nodded with a wry smile, "After you walk out of this gate, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it for long. gone."

"Feel sorry."

"It's all right. But is this shit really worth the money?"

"Not necessarily." Fang Nuonuo stared into the other person's eyes and said sincerely, "But it might be dangerous."

"..."

"You, are you willing to trust me?"

"..."

There was a long silence.

"I believe you."

In the end, the editor-in-chief handed over [Bright Defile].

"You know, I have always trusted you, Nuonuo. No matter where you are, I know that what you are doing is very different from our lord."

……

……

The 101st day.

Arena of Blood, Angel Square.

Night has fallen, and there are more and more people in the square.

All kinds of vendors are everywhere, and everyone wants to take advantage of the huge flow of people these days to do more business.

……

"Come on!!"

"Everyone come and take a look!!"

"Wrestling Auction!!"

"Whoever wins the game can automatically get this gem!!"

……

In the open space under a certain sculpture, several men gathered around a round stone table, shouting loudly.

One of the black and thin men rolled up his sleeves and was sitting at the stone table.

The others are well-dressed.

One of them held a gem box in his hand to show passers-by, a beautiful sapphire lying on a black velvet cloth, and another man carefully held a bronzing certificate.

……

"The unique 【Missing Gem】!"

"A certificate issued by [Scarborough] is attached!"

"To get it, you just need to defeat this man!!"

"The entry fee is only [-] gold coins!!"

……

Lin Momo, who was dressed in black, walked through the crowd. When she passed by this booth, she suddenly stopped, stopped, and looked behind the crowd.

There are so many ways to do business.

Some were sold directly, some were privately organized small auctions taking advantage of the popularity of the auction, and some were directly opened while taking advantage of the invitational tournament.

There is also this [game competition mode] in front of you.They do not directly sell the price, but ask interested parties to pay a participation fee of 1 yuan, and they can take it away directly if they win.

The market is diverse, and there are no rules and restrictions, and it is more lively than the earth.

Lin Momo looked at the group of people carefully.

The gemstone's appraisal certificate records its hidden function.

……

[After the game is over, bring back a ray of memories and traces. 】

……

Honestly, not much practicality.

Didn't bring back any abilities, items or creatures.

But those with high practicability have already flowed to the auction.

The middle and low-level people buy low-end or commemorative items.

The gem itself is beautiful, and with its poetic description, it appeals to many, especially women.

For 1 yuan, it is definitely not a loss to buy a single piece of jewelry.

But the more savvy ones are obviously the merchants.

They took a fancy to the huge flow of people in the square.[-] per person, compared to the gem with the appraisal certificate, the price can be said to be quite low.But if there are too many participants, the profit of the organizer will be terrible.

The premise is to win the game.

Naturally, to come up with this idea, the seller should have two brushes.

Lin Momo continued to stop and watch.Soon, there was a long queue in the crowd and the challenge began.

The competition event is a simple [arm wrestling], that is, a civilized power contest, which will not cause commotion and casualties, which also dispels many people's doubts.

When the competition started, the thin man sitting at the stone table held the hand of the No.1 contestant with a malicious smile.

The whistle sounded, and amidst the cheers of the crowd, the muscles of the two swelled up and they began to wrestle.

swing.

stalemate.

Finally, business representatives slowly pressed across the midline.

Snapped!
The total process is about 15 seconds, and the challenger fails.

1 yuan was credited.

But the process seems to be quite anxious.

The loser regretted leaving the field, and even turned around and queued up to challenge again. The onlookers felt that they could beat the merchants in seconds, and joined in one after another.

Lin Momo, who was observing secretly, shook his head.

A very quiet skill, but she still saw through it.

Because she has seen too many similar skills.

That skinny man has an average build and doesn't have enhanced skills.

But he has some absorption skills similar to the smiling grass, and his level is not low.

Under the condition of controlling the strength, as long as you don't get killed in seconds, you can gradually absorb it to make the situation go up and down, and finally win the game while quietly recovering your physical strength.

But the challengers didn't realize this. They knew that this person must have two skills, but they all thought that the wheel battle would consume the opponent, and the last contestant would definitely take advantage.

It's a pity that the absorption class is like this, and you can never take advantage of it if you play it slowly.

Lin Momo was about to leave, but at this moment, an angry boy rushed into the field.

……

"That'smine!!"

"robber!!"

"You stole my stuff!!!"

……

He howled hoarsely, but was beaten mercilessly by the big men.

Behind him, a crying girl jumped at him, trying to pull him back.

"Forget it, we don't want it anymore, okay..."

"No! Lily! There are our common memories!!"

But the boy crawled unyieldingly towards the jewel.

The onlookers are also very impatient. They just want to watch the game and wait for their own participation. They don't care about any property disputes.

In this world, is there any law?

To put it bluntly, isn't it all stolen?

……

"Hey." The man holding the gem said disdainfully, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you have the ability, win it back yourself??"

"How about it?? Your 1 yuan entry fee, I can waive it for you!"

……

The crowd watching the excitement also boiled up and booed one after another.

The girl pulled the boy, shaking her head in fear.But the boy got up angrily, shook off her hand and sat down at the stone table.

Lin Momo turned back and stared at the field again.

But unfortunately, the boy's strength is limited, and the insidious man opposite him didn't hold back this time, and directly pressed the back of his hand heavily on the rough stone table, smashing his skin to pieces.

……

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

"Are you convinced??"

"Hurry up and get out!!"

"Weak chicken!!"

"Don't delay everyone's game!!"

The jeers rose one after the other, and the boy was dragged aside and beaten again.

……

Lin Momo frowned, and withdrew his hand from his pocket.

At the same time, in the shadows, the muscles of her face twisted and changed into another appearance in a few seconds.

【Thousand-faced statue】.

Afterwards, she walked over as if no one was there, passing by a group of contestants and a sobbing boy lying on the ground, and sat down at the stone table.

……

"Hello!!"

"Queue up!!!"

"Stinky girls!"

……

The crowd complained, and at the same time several hands stretched out.

Lin Momo turned his head and stared, with a cold look in his eyes, and the instant murderous look made the men who were dragging him stunned for a moment, and stopped their movements.

"10 yuan." She turned to the merchant, "Is it okay to join the queue?"

"This……"

"20."

"what……"

At this moment, the crowd also became excited, shouting "Let her go!" with the mentality of watching a show, and the top few contestants also took a few steps back consciously.

Lin Momo's face has changed, but her figure has not changed. People are happy to see such an arrogant woman being taught a lesson.

And the 20 yuan also moved the merchants. Now that the public opinion has allowed it, they went downhill and reluctantly agreed to jump in the queue hypocritically.

After that, no nonsense, the game begins.

Due to accidents, this small private auction has gradually attracted a large number of onlookers.

Lin Momo stretched out her hand and held it with the sinister man. The magic energy flowed through her veins precisely, sensing the opponent's way.

3, 2, 1.

Start! !

Boom!

The sound of bones breaking, and a long howl.

Without a chance to absorb it, she used the crushing blow on her level to burst out, directly crippling the opponent's right arm.

The scene fell into silence.

Everyone didn't react.

But the black and thin man's ninety-degree bent arm said it all.

……

"Anyone else want to try?" Lin Momo turned to the merchant, motioning for the gem to be given.

The rest of the men looked at each other.

Obviously, if you hand over the gems so early, you will lose money.

But their strongest members are like this...

……

"I say……"

At this awkward moment, a sweet voice suddenly floated over.

"...It's a pity that I didn't line up, can you let me have a try?"

……

Lin Momo was taken aback. She thought that her all-out burst would shock the audience and solve the matter quickly, but she never expected that there would be changes.

Turning his head, he saw that standing in the crowd was a little girl in a black sweater.

……

"I'm sorry, but I really want that." The little girl pointed pitifully at [Missing Gem], "Can you give me a chance, Big Sister??"

Lin Momo's eyes wandered back and forth.

The merchants seemed relieved and looked at the scene with encouraging eyes.

The crowd started booing again.

Can't get off the stage yet?

Lin Momo pursed her lips, and pointed to the opposite seat neatly.

"Thank you, big sister." The little girl smiled happily, her black pupils were as black as ink, "Please give me more advice."

……

The eyes of the crowd were focused on the two women, watching the situation excitedly, but they were completely unaware of the eyes watching them from the shadows behind them.

Jafar tensed his muscles and watched his master.

And the tall and strong Fallen Angel, dressed in black leather, was also watching his companion from afar.
