In the unknown century of Guangyuan, the unnamed galaxy achieved unification. To address population issues, a marriage matching system was developed, forcibly pairing people through data calculatio...
Yu Wei's S-class Alpha glands are already extremely rare, and in addition, he is a twin mutant of Lianmu Grass and Ghost Hand Vine, making him a unique specimen that is rarely seen even once in a century.
So Lin Gu decisively "sold out" his brother in exchange for an admission ticket. He really wanted to go in, but was refused entry and could only stay outside with his men.
This group has been entrenched on the eighteenth planet for many years, appearing like ghosts and difficult to find. They trade everything from jewelry to weapons, from gland trading to trading live orcs. There's nothing they can't get their hands on.
Yu Wei was followed by a group of team members dressed as bodyguards. After undergoing a full body check, he received a black wide-sleeved cloak and a mask with blue faces and fangs, and followed the leader onto the winding path.
The dense forest, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, was like a black hole, swallowing all the light. The damp soil exuded a unique earthy fragrance. A strong wind blew, the leaves swayed gently, and glistening water droplets slid down the veins of the leaves.
The guide wore a white cloak and a white mask with only two holes. He carried a lantern, the only light for the entire journey. He walked extremely fast, with small strides, so that he appeared to be floating in the air.
Stepping onto the suspension bridge spanning the cliff, with the mountain wind blowing, Yu Wei couldn't help but mentally complain, "Are the organizers of the underground trading market rats? How did they manage to find it in such a remote corner?"
After crossing the creaking suspension bridge that looked like it might break at any moment, Yu Wei finally saw the so-called headquarters of the trading market that Lin Gu had mentioned—a castle built on a cliff, which looked sinister and terrifying under the pale moonlight.
The guide led them through a small door, up a wooden staircase, and finally stopped in front of a small room.
The group exchanged puzzled glances and entered the room one after another. The rules here were strange: the seller had to personally deliver the item to the castle, where it would be placed in a display case for auction. If no one bought it that night, it would be sent out of the castle before dawn and returned the next day to participate in the auction again.
The guide pointed to the booklet on the table, then pushed open the door and left.
The group picked it up and flipped through it, exchanging glances before finally fixing their gaze on Yu Wei.
If the animal being auctioned is alive, it must remain completely naked in the display case for easy viewing, and may at most wear a cloak.
This means that General Yu, one of the top combatants in the alliance, will be seen naked tonight, and not just by one person.
Without the mask, the team members would see Yu Wei's face, which was as red as a monkey's bottom.
Good heavens, he's not an exhibitionist, this is just too embarrassing!
If he had known it would be like this, he would never have agreed to Lin Gu's request, even if it meant death.
"bite……"
The ringing of the bell indicates that the auction is about to begin and preparations need to be made.
Yu Wei was immersed in deep sorrow, slowly unbuttoning his suit jacket. Only after taking off his shirt did he realize that several people in the room were staring at him intently, and one of them made a barely perceptible movement in his throat.
"What are you looking at! Turn around!"
Yu Wei roared as he picked up the cloak and fastened it, only to discover to his dismay that the cloak seemed too short, not even reaching his calves.
After cursing Lin Gu a thousand times in his heart, Yu Wei finally composed himself and followed the guide away timidly.
The team members snapped out of their daze, quickly packed up Yu Wei's belongings, took off their formal attire to reveal their night clothes, and dispersed to various corners.
The person delivering the goods can leave on their own or stay to watch; they have a great deal of freedom.
The so-called display cases are actually transparent glass boxes with ventilation holes placed in the basement.
As soon as Yu Wei entered, his eyes were drawn to the display case in the center. Inside the tall glass tank was a mermaid with deep, handsome, chiseled features. Her golden curly hair fell to her waist, and below her strong, muscular waist was a beautiful, deep blue fish tail with a wide, almost transparent tail fin that swayed in the water like an open feather fan.
The mermaid had chains as thick as her forearms on her hands, waist, and tail, and faint red marks were visible on her fair wrists and waist.
Seemingly sensing Yu Wei's gaze, the mermaid slowly opened her eyes. Her deep blue eyes were as profound as the ocean, seemingly containing raging storms.
The guide opened the box next to him and urged Yu Wei to go inside.
Yu Wei pouted, walked into the box, found a corner to squat down, and tried to pull his cloak over himself. Fortunately, the cloak was spacious enough to fit two of him.
Zhou Siyu, dressed in a white suit, wearing an exquisite white mask and a white cloak with gold-trimmed cloud patterns, followed behind the black-clad leader, stepping on a soft red carpet, and stopped in front of the brightly lit castle.
The heavy black solid wood door was slowly pushed open, and a melodious and cheerful violin tune drifted into the ears. Zhou Siyu was led by a waiter to find a seat with the best view. In front of her, besides a price tag, there were all kinds of snacks and desserts on the small table, and a waiter would bring her red wine from time to time.
After looking around, Zhou Siyu was surprised to find that his seat was much higher than the others, and it was covered with a soft fox fur cushion, making it a VIP size.
The lights suddenly went out, and Zhou Siyu leaned back in her chair, watching the red curtain slowly rise on the platform with a leisurely air. A person wearing a gold mask and a white suit with gold trim gave a brief speech and then began to introduce the auction items.
The auction features two highlight items: a mermaid from a starfish and an extremely rare S-class Alpha.
A simple sentence is like a bomb, creating huge waves.
Leaving aside the mysterious mermaids, even before the fall of the five great empires and the establishment of the alliance, S-class Alphas were extremely rare. Even if both parents were S-class, the chance of their offspring being S-class was only two in a thousand. Not to mention Alphas, who had already become a scarce resource after the war.
The last A-level Alpha sold for a high price of 30 billion interstellar coins, and this time the S-level will have a starting price of at least 50 billion.
Zhou Siyu frowned, a bold idea forming in his mind: could that S-level Alpha be Yu Wei?
No, no, how could that be? Yu Wei is a general, after all. He can't possibly be without the ability to protect himself, especially since he's in the military. Lin Gu wouldn't let anything happen to him.
Despite trying to comfort herself, Zhou Siyu was still restless and couldn't concentrate on listening to what the items being auctioned were.
Two boxes covered with red cloth were pushed onto the stage. Everyone held their breath as a cool, grassy scent wafted into their nostrils. The Omegas in the audience sniffed greedily, their eyes gleaming with malice as they stared at the red cloth, as if they wanted to devour the people inside.
Hearing the sounds of people swallowing hard around him, Zhou Siyu's anger reached its peak. He clenched his fists on his knees, veins popped on his forehead, and he glared fiercely at the curtain on the stage.
