i'm the villain

Chapter 124

After the entire wall in front of Zac automatically "disintegrated", what appeared was a huge hollow stage.

The auction house basically continues the design style of the original corridor.The pure black tone makes the whole environment look very deep and mysterious.

In this hollowed-out space, Zach saw many grids divided by fluorescent lines.

Each grid represents a room he is currently in, and there are more than 30 such grids in total.

……

"So, won't such a design that completely hollows out the space of more than ten floors affect the load-bearing system of this building?" Zac turned his head and asked the guide.

The guide opened a touch screen on the wall of the room, and issued the request of the guests in the auction room about "Fat House Happy Water".

Then he turned around and explained: "The architectural design of this auction venue has passed technical assessment, and the position of the hollowed-out ten-story building is at the top of the building, which minimizes the impact on the load-bearing structure."

This is probably the coolest auction Zack has seen so far in his life. The building structure on the site is to hollow out the middle of the top ten floors of the building, leaving only three spacious rooms on each floor. Floor, every room can see the hollow center stage.This design can be said to be very bold.

"Is this place only for Mr. Doug's auction?" Zack asked.

"It's true that Mr. Doug's auctions are held here, but there are usually other activities held here, which are more secretive." The guide explained enthusiastically.

"Understood." Zach nodded.

"Well, there will be a staff member who will deliver the drink you asked for soon. If you have any other needs, you can ask that person. I have to go back to the original place and wait for your friend Mr. Luo to arrive. I wish you You can take pictures of what you want.”

After the host said these words to Zach politely, he left the room.

……

...

At the same time, Luo, who was sitting in the guest seat of the fundraising meeting, had already understood the general structure of the auction site through the data transfer screen of the glasses.

One thing that can be confirmed is that the lighting effect over there is indeed too dim to prevent him, the "luminous man" from being discovered.

"Congratulations, you have successfully wasted 50 yuan."

Zach's voice rang through the glasses' tiny audio system.

"It's quite expensive."

Luo watched the performance on the fundraising stage expressionlessly, and muttered softly.

"Then I can only have this auction room to myself~"

"congratulations."

……

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and the waiter respectfully brought in a glass of iced Coke, and then backed out.

"Actually, if we had realized this problem earlier, we could have bought only one admission ticket. After all, as long as we have these two glasses, there is no difference between one person participating and two people participating, so we don't have to waste a whole 50, 50."

Zach sipped his Coke through a straw.

"Yes."

Luo replied absent-mindedly.

"When will your auction start?"

"I don't know, that person didn't make it clear just now... Eh? It seems to have started, and the central stage is lit up."

Zach was talking, when he suddenly found that the center of the hollow stage in front of him was lit with lights.

Immediately afterwards, numbers appeared on each of the 24 rooms separated by fluorescent lines. The numbers went from the beginning to 24, which probably indicated the [-] guests who participated in the auction.

The spotlights converged on the central floating stage, and at some point, a young blond man in a suit and leather shoes was already standing there.

After the man bowed in all directions, he adjusted the miniature microphone next to his ear and announced the official start of the auction:
"Welcome all distinguished guests..."

Zach sat on the sofa and reached out to touch the bidding button on the left. He looked a little excited, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to what the guy on the center stage was talking about.

He thought that this guy on the stage would be like the opening of the fundraiser dozens of floors down, and he would have to waste nearly half an hour doing the opening nonsense stage.

But in fact, the format of this auction is much neater than that of the fundraiser downstairs.

After the blond man on the central stage welcomed the guests in the 24 auction rooms present, he directly entered the auction mode.

……

"This guy doesn't look very pleasing to the eye. Although there is nothing wrong with being very polite, I don't know why, but I just don't like him."

Zach looked at the auction host on the central stage and said.

"blond."

Luo looked at the transition screen in his left lens, and said lightly.

"Blonde hair? What's wrong with blonde hair, I don't have any prejudice against blonde hair." Zach replied.

"Chris is blonde."

"Oh~ I see." Zach nodded suddenly, "Your thinking angle is more tricky."

"Ah."

"But having said that, is our goal to wait for the so-called finale new weapon to appear?" Zach asked after turning the subject.

"correct."

"How can we tell if that thing is what we're looking for?" Zach asked.

"I'll judge."

"Row."

……

Following the brief conversation between the two of them, the first bidding item in the auction was sold.

It's almost super fast.

There is a minimum amount for each bid increase by the bidder, and the number of the room where the highest bidder is located will change from blue to red, and when there is a bid higher than his, the number sign of the room will return to blue .

There was no obvious atmosphere in the bidding scene, and the host was simply in charge of the bidding process. Everything was like a running machine, step by step...

Since the number of bidders is not large, only 24 parties, this is also very normal. After all, not everyone can afford 50 admission tickets, and more importantly, many people who can afford it , are not even qualified to have access to this auction, they don’t even know that this auction exists, you must know that the reason why Luo was able to get the admission ticket from Corey was that Zach first bought it through the intelligence agency of the Internet. The information about this auction, and secondly, he also completed an arms order of more than one million from Corey. Without these conditions, he and Zach would not be able to enter this auction.

……

Bidding was smooth.

The bidders are completely separated from each other, they don't even know who the other party is, and there are only 23 other room grids marked with numbers in front of them.

And usually when the price of an item reaches the height predicted by others, they will basically not continue to increase the price. After all, although they have a lot of money, they are not stupid.

Many of the things that Doug put up for auction were basically not obtained through formal channels, because he was not a serious businessman in the first place, and some of the things that were placed on the table for bidding may be at zero cost.

Therefore, the bidders also restrained the tendency to compete with each other for bidding, which was a default rule between them.

They are not here for consumption. Of course, it is not ruled out that some wealthy collectors will take away some cultural relics at high prices, but most of the bidders are businessmen. The price of the things you want to obtain is suppressed to a minimum. After you get it, you can resell it through other channels, no matter formal or irregular, legal or illegal, as long as you can make money.

These potential rules are well known to both the auctioneer and the bidder, and are acceptable to both parties.

Doug needs to resell some items of unknown origin, even if the transaction price will be much lower than when the item was released, but don't forget that the auction items he took out are basically close to zero cost. It is estimated that only he himself knows the huge profits in it.

As for the bidders, they only need to resell the items that have suppressed the price through their own other channels, and they can also get a lot of money in return.

Basically a win-win situation, this underlying tacit understanding contributed to this auction.

……

There are also many types of things that are put on the auction stage.

From cultural relics to works of art, and even information, it seems that anything can be put up for bidding.

And most of the things here can cause a huge sensation if they are put directly outside.

For example, the oil painting "Billard" that is currently being auctioned.

……

"My Cao, shouldn't this thing be placed in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia?"

Zach scanned the oil painting hanging on the center stage with his glasses, and searched out the origin of the oil painting.

"Is this fucking real or fake?"

"It's none of our business." Luo said lightly.

"Oh yes, that's what you said." Zach curled his lips.

……

In the end, this copy, which was created in 1807 and can be regarded as one of the most famous oil paintings in the world, was taken away by the bidder in Room No.20 at a price of nearly [-] million.

Zach didn't even bother to calculate the exact amount. He wasn't sure how many digits there were in the string of numbers presented on the main stage. He might have read one more zero, or one less zero.

But none of that matters anymore.

"Let me tell you, we don't even have the qualifications to bid for the auctioned items here." Zach touched the bid button and said.

"We didn't come to participate in the auction." Luo responded lightly.

"Then..." Zach thought for a while and said, "No, if the so-called finale weapon isn't what you're looking for, wouldn't I just come here and drink a cup of Coke instead of spending 50? "

"Then what do you want?"

"I'm going to ask the waiter to open me a good wine or something," Zach said.

"You'd better not mess around, I don't want to carry you back." Luo warned Zach coldly.

"..."

……

The auction for the top floor of the building continues.

And Luo's fundraiser has been chattering all the time, and he doesn't even know what the hell these people have been doing for a long time.

Probably the fundraising is just a good-sounding cover, but in essence it is just a banquet where the rich and powerful gather to drink and chat.

In Luo's current field of vision, half is the auction on Zac's side, and the other half is the fundraiser he is in.

He noticed that the guide in white uniform who had led Zac away had returned to his original position, but now that he had confirmed that the dark environment above would reveal his own strange specialties, the guide in front of him People are useless.

The auction was proceeding in an orderly manner. Neither Luo nor Zach knew when the final weapon would appear, so they could only wait.

And while Luo was paying close attention to the situation of the auction, someone walked over and sat down directly on the empty seat beside him.

Luo was a little surprised that the other party would suddenly appear next to him.

After all, the table he is currently at is not the best angle to watch the stage, and the table is full of food remains left by Zach. Many guests who are looking for a place choose to automatically ignore the existence of this table.

But this woman leaned over.

Luo doesn't quite understand...

"Oh sorry, may I sit here?"

The glamorous stunner in a pure white evening dress asked Luo with a smile.

"You are already sitting."

Luo glanced at each other.

Compared with the previous long-distance observation of more than 20 meters apart, although the resolution of the glasses is extremely high, but at such a close distance, Luo can almost smell the smell emanating from the other party's hair, which still has a special charm.

That's right, the woman who quietly appeared next to Luo was the sexy woman in white dress whom Zach peeped through the farsighted function of the glasses before.

"I'm just asking out of politeness." The other party waved his hand and said with a smile.

"..."

Luo didn't intend to strike up a conversation. He was not good at talking to people he didn't know at all. That should be Joe's natural skill.

He didn't quite understand why the other party came to this relatively remote seat compared to other guest seats. Could it be that the other party had noticed Zach and his unscrupulous gaze before?
The possibility of this should be basically zero.

But at this time, half of Luo's attention was on the auction screen of the left lens, so he didn't plan to have any intersection with this woman.

"By the way, I'm Daisy, how about you?"

The woman didn't seem to notice Luo's indifferent attitude at all, but she stretched out her hand enthusiastically and announced her name.

A trace of surprise flashed in Luo's eyes.

"My Cao is so miraculous? Can this also be fooled?"

Zac's surprised ghost sound came from the audio system of the glasses.

When he heard the voice of Luo talking to others, Zach immediately turned on Luo's vision transfer, and now half of his lenses show Luo's vision.

On the screen is the beautiful woman in the white evening dress, which is Daisy.
