Apart from the waiters, everyone else here was dressed in black and wore the same masks, so Jiang Li and his companions could walk around without attracting attention.
Suddenly, Jiang Li noticed something was wrong. There was a waiter sitting in an inconspicuous corner, a place that was usually deserted.
All the other waiters had moved around to some extent, but this particular waiter had remained in the same spot every time Jiang Li saw him, even when someone nearby needed help, other waiters would go to him.
This was very strange. After observing for a while, Jiang Li noticed someone walking towards the waiter. He quickly tugged at Gu Jin beside him and gestured for Gu Jin to look over there.
Following Jiang Li's gaze, Gu Jin saw someone hand the waiter something that looked like an invitation. After the waiter took it and confirmed the information, he looked around to make sure no one noticed.
With a simple press of a button, a passageway appeared behind the waiter, just wide enough for one person to walk through. The person quickly walked in, and the door immediately closed behind them. The whole process was incredibly fast.
This door was designed to be hidden; it was identical to the wall. No wonder the group couldn't find it. But they were also very bold to design it in a place where people were.
Jiang Li guessed that the real core was there, and this place was just a cover. It seemed that only by going inside could he find out the secrets of this place.
After discovering the hidden door, Jiang Li and Gu Jin did not act rashly. Instead, they met up with the others and shared their findings.
"Is this the invitation you're talking about?"
Shi Lin took out two black pieces of paper from his pocket, the same kind that Jiang Li and Gu Jin had seen.
Jiang Li stared at Shi Lin in shock.
"This is it! How did you get an invitation?!"
"I just saw two people carrying this, and I thought it might be something important, so I just grabbed it."
Shi Lin said calmly.
ox!
Jiang Li and his group had just discovered they needed an invitation, but before they knew it, they had one. Who could imagine how that felt?
After discussing it, the group decided to get the remaining invitations first, and then leave two people outside so that they could be there to help if anything happened.
Soon, Shi Lin and the others obtained the other two invitations. In any case, Jiang Li genuinely thought this skill was amazing, and he certainly didn't know it himself.
Jiang Li and Gu Jin took the invitation to the waiter. After the waiter confirmed the authenticity of the invitation, he let them go. The invitation did not have names on it, only the words "Starlight Auction House" were written on it.
Gu Jin and Jiang Li entered the hidden door one after the other. Gu Jin walked in front to clear the way, and Jiang Li followed behind. As soon as they entered, the door behind them closed immediately.
The people outside breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Jiang Li and Gu Jin had entered safely.
After confirming their safety, Shi Lin and Fu Xiaxia used the same method to enter the country a few years later.
Shi Yuan and Fang Qingxun stayed outside to provide backup. Fang Qingxun liked to chat, so she could gather information outside. It was uncertain what would happen if Fu Xiaxia stayed with Fang Qingxun, so Fu Xiaxia went in with Jiang Li.
Originally, Shi Lin, being more stable, could have kept Fang Qingxun in check, but Fang Qingxun refused to be with Shi Lin, so Shi Yuan was left behind.
Fang Qingxun and Shi Yuan waited until they all went inside before they started asking around in the bar.
Jiang Li and Gu Jin, who entered from the other side, waited for Fu Xiaxia and Shi Lin to come in before walking forward together.
The passageway, which was initially only wide enough for one person to walk through, gradually widened, and wall lamps were placed at intervals on both sides of the passageway to illuminate it.
The passage looks flat, but you can feel that it goes downhill.
After walking for a few minutes, they finally arrived at the entrance. Jiang Li and Gu Jin went through first. This passage was obviously much stricter than the previous one. After exiting the passage, there were two more people who had to check the invitations again.
Jiang Li was a little nervous, wondering if it was just a matter of checking the authenticity of the invitation letter, like before. What if they asked them questions that they wouldn't be able to answer?
Fortunately, they were just doing a casual check and didn't ask Jiang Li and the others any questions, probably because they thought no one would sneak in.
If Jiang Li and the others walk any further, a waiter will lead them into the auction.
"Let me lead you to your seats."
Okay. Thank you.
Gu Jin gestured to Shi Lin and the others, and followed the waiter. To avoid making a mistake, Jiang Li and Gu Jin remained silent with the waiter, while the waiter started chatting with Jiang Li and the others.
"You two have come at the perfect time today; I heard there are some good things to see!"
The waiter led the two of them forward.
"Oh, what good stuff is it?"
Gu Jin asked the waiter.
Jiang Li, standing next to him, handed the waiter a chocolate bar. These days, food is currency, and since the waiter had offered, he was bound to get something in return.
"It's said to be a very good-looking man, and he looks like he's just come of age. I just don't know if you need him."
Seeing that Jiang Li and his companion were so cooperative, the waiter told Jiang Li about his information. Since they came as a man and a woman, he didn't know if they needed anything. However, everyone who came here had some little quirks, and who knows if they both needed it.
After saying that, he glanced at Gu Jin and Jiang Li.
Jiang Li knew from what the waiter said that this was the place she had been thinking about. Gu Jin, who was standing next to her, was also surprised that this place was doing this kind of business.
"Hehe, it seems we're in luck."
In order not to give himself away, Jiang Li had no choice but to answer.
The two were quickly seated by the waiter.
"The auction will begin in 30 minutes. If you see something you like, raise your number paddle."
The waiter left after saying that.
Fu Xiaxia and Shi Lin came in after them and happened to sit next to them.
With 30 minutes left before the show started, Jiang Li planned to take advantage of those 30 minutes to go out and explore.
I'm going out for a walk.
"I'll go with you."
"No need. I'm afraid it will attract attention if they both leave. You wait for me here."
"Okay, then be careful."
"Okay, don't worry, I will."
Jiang Li greeted Gu Jin beside him and then went out. When he passed by Fu Xiaxia and the others, he also secretly greeted them.
Gu Jin knew that Jiang Li had ways to protect herself, and she also had quite a few weapons in her spatial storage, but she was still a little worried.
Jiang Li walked out of the venue and looked around. The entire auction was about the size of a small basketball arena, and it could easily accommodate several hundred people. There was an auction stage in the middle of the downstairs area, and next to the stage was an open space, which was probably used to display the so-called auction items.
Upstairs in the hall, where Jiang Li was located, were the seats for the bidders. Those sitting up could clearly see the items being auctioned below. There were also two large screens below, currently displaying the time remaining until the auction began.
The two screens are placed opposite each other so that everyone in the hall can see them.
