Right in front is the booth, on which there is a hammer and some instruments, and there is an inconspicuous table in the corner, with two chairs standing there alone.
The curtains on both sides were pulled symmetrically to both sides, and a man who was completely hidden in a black coat came out from inside. He was wearing a white mask carved with knife marks, revealing a scarlet electronic eye.
"Ladies and gentlemen, hello. The Florence auction will start in 5 minutes. I am the auctioneer for this time. I hope everyone can take pictures of their favorite treasures. Now—please take your seats."
The lights suddenly dimmed, and the golden floating light loomed in the field, like the mottled light faintly flickering in the deep sea.
The venue was crowded with people, and each seat was marked with Arabic numerals. Ian suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know where to sit, so he turned to look at Rita.
"Rita, where is our location? No one seems to give us a number..."
"It's not that no one posts, but that they don't know how to post." Rita said softly, "Please look over there."
Yan followed Rita's gaze, and saw an open luxury box at the highest point in the venue, with a pair of gilt wings imprinted on the box door, which was a symbol of destiny.
He was dumbfounded, and couldn't help sighing in his heart that he deserves to be the evil capitalism, so it's not too domineering to show such obvious superiority!
"Lord Ian, please."
Rita lowered her eyebrows and said lightly.

16: "I'm not interested in money (cold face)"
"The next piece of porcelain to be auctioned - it is 75 centimeters high and about 40 centimeters in diameter at the bottom. Its Chinese name is 'Carmine Ground Famous Ladies Playing Music Pattern Double Chi Ears Skimming Vase' and it is inscribed in seal script 'Daqing Qianlong Year' Made'. Obviously, this is an ancient vase with the mark of the Qianlong period in China. It is made by a technique called "foreign color". It belongs to the pastel series in foreign color, and its production year is 1736-1795 Among them, this vase represents the most exquisite ceramic craftsmanship in China at that time, and its production technology and perfect artistic attainments can be regarded as the pinnacle of Chinese ceramic production."
The auctioneer introduced this piece of porcelain in a cadence, and scanned the audience: "Its starting price is 500 million euros, please bid now!"
"550 million." No. 7 raised a placard.
"600 million." No. 10 followed closely.
"1000 million." On the 24th, the price jumped by 400 million euros, full of confidence!
The auction has already started for about half an hour. During this period, many strange-looking things were sold, and the prices soared all the way. The starting price also rose from the initial 50 to 500 million, and everyone's enthusiasm became more and more high.Yan was sitting in the exclusive box of Destiny, and his expression gradually became unrecognizable with the starting price, until he was completely numb in the end.
He held a distinctive gold-plated number plate in his hand, and the gold-plated Arabic numeral 0 shone brightly under the light.Not only that, but a touch screen panel is also installed on the armrest of the soft single sofa, on which ten numbers from 0 to 9 are arranged in sequence, and the left and right lower corners display [Cancel] and [Confirm] buttons respectively.
According to Rita, this thing is used to replace the quotation. If your mouth is dry and you don’t want to speak, your arms are sore and you can’t lift it, you can just move your finger and tap the screen twice.
Yan was silent for a long time after listening, then subconsciously straightened his back and looked ahead.
This wave, this wave is so bullish!
Destiny, strong and invincible!
The auction is still going on, and this piece of porcelain with a jerky full name was finally successfully auctioned by a mysterious Asian buyer for 1620 million euros.Accompanied by the heavy hammer drop of the auctioneer, the audience immediately burst into polite applause.
Ian looked left and right, stretched out one hand, and still held the gold-plated number plate with the other, wondering if he should applaud along with them.
Finally he turned his eyes to Rita, the beautiful woman who stood quietly beside him nodded and lowered her brows, as if she was indifferent, as if this auction was worthless in her eyes.Only when Yaen turned his gaze to her, those burgundy eyes with sultry eye shadow would fluctuate, like melting ice and snow.
"What's the matter with you, Lord Ian?"
"No, it's gone."
Ion shook his head and sat up straight again.The applause was over, and there was no need for him to ask any more.
This is the seventh lot auctioned tonight. The atmosphere in the venue has been completely active. Every time the placard is raised, it is like a pennant fluttering and a battle drum beating. !
Only Yaen sat there leisurely like a big guy watching the fire from the other side, and the 7 lots didn't raise their placards even once.
Although the people present did not say anything, they were always vigilant in their hearts.
In their cognition, Destiny will never participate in this kind of auction, because whatever they are interested in, they usually buy it directly at a price that is several times or even dozens of times higher than the original price, and they will not condescend to sit in the crowd Neutralize their looting?
It's like Superman wants to travel abroad on a whim, so how can he need to queue up to buy a plane ticket and apply for a visa?Just stretch your hands flat and you will be there at once, which saves trouble and effort, it is not too convenient.
So if people come here deliberately, there must be something tricky!This auction...is not easy!
But now that the auction has passed more than half, and it is about to end, this boss still looks like he has nothing to do with himself... What is his plan?
Everyone murmured in their hearts, unable to understand what the boss was thinking.
In fact, they knew in advance that the boss sitting here was the next successor of Destiny, which is why they were so concerned about an ordinary auction, not just for those old works of art, It is also to be able to show his strong financial resources and style in front of this chosen son, and to attract his attention.
Originally, they had planned it in their hearts. If the young master took a fancy to any lot, regardless of 21, they would bid the price together, raising as high as they could, crowding out all the competitors, and then Only myself and him were left to bid with each other, and finally pretended to hesitate, and then gave up the auction in a wave of smooth sailing.
Doing so can not only show one's financial resources, but also reflect one's demeanor, and can also pretend to be a wave of coercion, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone!
It's a pity that the abacus was clinking. I didn't expect that he didn't even have the interest to take a second look at it. The time he looked at the lot was not as good as the respectful and pretty lady beside him!
This made them a little embarrassed. The expressions on their faces were like thieves who were determined to rob a bank. After planning their escape route, they made a careful plan and equipped them with sophisticated equipment. The body armor purchased online, holding a micro-punch with black silk on the top of his head, was ready to go, but was stopped by a yellow triangle that towered at the moment when he was just starting, with seven large characters engraved on it——
Construction ahead, please detour.
Plans don't always keep up with changes.
As soon as they thought about it, they couldn't help complaining... You said you didn't buy anything at the auction, so what are you doing here? !Flirt with the beauty next to you to show your affection?
Suddenly Ion moved!
I saw the hand holding the gold-plated No. 0 plate slightly raised, the mouth that had been lightly closed slowly opened, the ice blue eyes narrowed into a slit, and the piercing gaze was like a sharp knife drawn from the ice and snow, enveloping With piercing killing intent!
Everyone's heart trembled, and they couldn't help holding their breath, as if seeing Sadako crawling out of the TV for the first time, a needle could be heard in the whole venue, and the dignified atmosphere instantly climbed to the top, many people's throats Visibly vibrated.
——This young master, is he finally going to make a move!
"Huha~~~~"
A clear yawn came from the Destiny box, the blond young master covered his mouth, and a few drops of tears fell from his narrowed eyes.
...into the hearts of all.
-
Halfway through the auction schedule, Ian began to get bored.
There is no way, after all, he really doesn't know where the value and charm of these so-called works of art are. He even feels that this thing is no different from the clearance sale porcelain he saw at the street stalls.
I don't know why they are so eager to grab it, millions of mouths come!With this spare money, he might as well buy a top-end computer to play 3A games with the highest graphics quality, wouldn’t it be fun.
Ian was bored fanning the gold-plated number plate, looking at the small trolley on his right, which contained several goblets and a bottle of wine with the black chicken logo.
This thing has been there since he came in, and it looks like it was prepared in advance.
Ian was a little curious, and asked Rita who was standing aside in a low voice: "Rita, is this wine here for us to drink?"
"Yes, Lord Ian." Rita nodded, leaning over slightly, a strand of gray-blond hair hanging down her face, the snow-white plump under the low-cut skirt looming: "This is the most famous red wine in Florence, I need it for you. Would you like a glass?"
"Forget it, I don't know how to drink." Yan shook his head hesitantly: "And there won't be extra money, right?"
He has seen a lot of hotels and other places that specially put some drinks, snacks, etc. under their noses, making people think that they are free, but they only tell you that there is an additional charge for these things at the end of the checkout!He has been tricked by this trick several times!
"Of course there is no charge." Rita sighed helplessly.
She walked to the trolley, picked up the bottle and tipped it slightly, the bright red liquid flowed down the mouth of the bottle into the goblet, like a waterfall falling into a clear river.Rita turned the wine bottle around and stood it up again. She held the goblet full of wine in her soft hand and handed it to Ian.
"Lord Ian, please."
"What, what are you doing, I really don't know how to drink!"
Ian tactically leaned back, his expression a little dazed.
What does this mean, forcing him to drink?Could it be that he wanted to get him drunk and plot something wrong?That doesn't have to be like this, wouldn't it be over if you just confronted him head-on?Anyway, he won't resist and can't resist.
"I don't want you to drink it all in one gulp, but just take a sip and taste it." Rita explained: "Your current status is the heir to the next Archbishop of Destiny, and you will be in charge of the fate of the entire world in the future. If you look at the world you will face next with the eyes of the past, you will be very uncomfortable.”
She said seriously: "So, it is necessary for Rita to correct your way of thinking."
Yan looked at Rita blankly, with a stiff expression: "No, it's not that exaggerated, isn't it just a bottle of wine..."
"That's not the point." Rita shook her head lightly with a serious face: "You have to know that none of the people sitting here care about the price of a bottle of wine, let alone worry about money. The purpose of their coming here is also Not only because of the items in this auction, but a bigger part... is for you."
"For me?!" Yann's eyes were horrified for a moment, and his whole body was a little bad.
What the hell!This is too ambiguous, what is for him?Yan felt that he was not a tall, rich and handsome guy with a lot of charm, besides, there were many male compatriots of different ages sitting in this venue!Are they all here for him?So this cup is actually not wine at all but black tea!
Suddenly, I feel that this place is very dangerous. Is it too late to escape now?
"Yes." Rita nodded seriously, her eyes were not joking at all: "For them, more important than money is a network, a network that can allow them to reach a higher stage."
"And destiny is the olive branch they dream of."
Yan suddenly realized: "So you mean that what they are actually looking at is not the lot of this auction, but my identity as the heir of the Archbishop of Destiny, and the purpose is to hug my thigh?"
"It's great that you understand." Rita smiled slightly, and her eyes rarely showed a little appreciation: "To put it bluntly, although those people's eyes are looking at the lot, they are actually staring at you."
"Don't! When you say that, I immediately feel panicked!"
Ion shook his shoulders, looking uncomfortable.He reached out to take the glass of wine, brought it to his lips hesitating for a moment, then raised his head and took a sip.
The mellow and sweet taste spread in the taste buds, which was completely different from what he imagined, and the taste was quite good.
"how is the taste?"
"Very... sweet?" Yan slammed his mouth, unable to find a suitable word to describe it. After all, apart from mineral water, Coke was the most he drank before.
He stared at the liquid in the goblet, the bright red liquid seemed to emit a faint light under the light, and he suddenly thought of Rita's red lips that were as red as a fire.
I don't know how the taste compares with this glass of wine.
"You can get used to this kind of thing slowly, and you still have a long way to go." Rita took back the goblet from Yan's hand, and handed him the shining golden No. 0 plate: "The next training task , please bid at least one item in this auction."
"Task?"
Yann took the sign and was a little taken aback, wondering what kind of task this was.
"Yes, from now on, you need to blur the concept of money." Rita took a sip of the wine from the glass that Ian used, and her red lips were moist: "The most direct way is to spend money like water."
Spending money like water, these four words perfectly describe what is Tuhao!
Yan suddenly took a deep breath, frightened by the richness of Destiny.Look at this confident tone and plain expression, those who don't know it think she just said that the wine tastes good!
"In addition, the price of this bottle of Hongqin wine is about 2 euros."
"Oh."
Ian nodded expressionlessly, he was numb by now.In his previous life, the most expensive thing he ever bought was a desktop computer with a 1080ti graphics card... Just for this, he ate instant noodles for more than half a month, and at the end he felt like throwing up when he smelled the instant noodles!
