The self-service hairdressing robot requires customers to manually set the hairstyle they want. There are not too many types to choose from, and it can't cut complicated ones, but it is enough for boys. Chu Rong stood in front of the setting panel, and after the machine scanned Georgia's head shape and existing hairstyle, he clicked here and there in the options, and finally selected a neat short hairstyle and clicked OK.
The robot received the command, extended a frame to fix Georgia's head to prevent him from moving, and then cut him with precise precision.
There were frequent crackling sounds above her head and pieces of hair kept falling. Georgia sat there unable to move, afraid that her ears would move because she was too nervous, so she simply looked around to divert her attention.
Chu Rong noticed that he was looking around, thought for a moment, walked up to him, took out a free candy from the hospitality jar at the self-service hairdressing booth, opened it, fed it to his mouth, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
The candy was a kind of fruit hard candy, with beautiful colors and a sweet smell. Georgia was stunned by his natural action of feeding candy. She looked at him, opened her mouth to eat the candy, and used her tongue to push the candy around in her mouth. She wanted to shake her head but found that she couldn't move, so she replied: "I didn't see anything."
"Tan Shengwei will take you to report on Monday." Chu Rong did not continue to ask about this issue. He changed the subject directly, stepped to the side, and his posture was somewhat casual. With his casual daily clothes, he seemed much gentler. "I have asked Xiangnan to inform the school in advance about skipping grades. You are in a special situation, and you may not be able to adapt to many things in school. But since you have chosen to take a difficult path, you must stick to it. You must work harder and don't waste this opportunity."
The look in his eyes was calm and encouraging, like a gentle spring breeze blowing in her face, completely different from her usual coldness and depth. Georgia stared at him blankly. After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, a gentle emotion suddenly spread through her heart, and she replied, "I won't embarrass you."
Chu Rong smiled when he heard that, but it was just a sneer. His gentleness seemed to be an illusion. In the blink of an eye, he turned back to his usual poor-tempered self and said, "It doesn't matter if you abandon people temporarily, just don't do it all the time. Reputation is earned through strength. Once you have strength, you won't be able to lose it even if you want to."
Georgia felt that she understood what he meant, so she smiled, but it was a very kind smile, and said, "So you are not afraid of those in white uniforms, nor are you afraid of those in green uniforms, because you have a lot of face."
The Xiang family's army all wore white uniforms, and the Wei family's army all wore green uniforms. This was a disguised way of praising his strength.
Chu Rong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a real smile that was so shallow that it was almost invisible. Just as the instrument had finished cutting his hair, he stepped forward and touched his much shorter hair, and replied: "You are so sweet... Yes, I am very face-conscious, so you can make some small mistakes within a reasonable range, and I can protect you."
"Thank you." Georgia tilted her head and rubbed his palm, then smiled at him and promised: "I will work hard to become stronger, and then find a way to protect you too." Protecting people is the most tiring. The white-haired monster is cold and hard everywhere, and he wants to stab the whole world so that it will be like this. It must be because protecting people is too tiring, and he doesn't want the white-haired monster to be more tired.
Such a good person should be protected.
Chu Rong paused while rubbing his hair, lowered his eyes to look at him, pinched his ear, and snorted, "After eating the candy, your mouth has really become sweeter. Get up, it's time to go buy some stationery."
Georgia moved her ears, stood up obediently, waved goodbye to the hair-cutting robot, and followed Chu Rong.
On the fourth floor of the mall, a chubby boy poked the tall boy next to him and said curiously, "Chu Yan, I think I saw your brother. He was accompanied by someone who looked about the same as us. It was really strange."
The tall boy was drooling over the auction poster. He didn't even raise his head when he heard this and said, "You must have seen it wrong. My eldest brother can only come to the mall with my sister-in-law. The one who follows him is definitely not a child of our age, but a beautiful woman like my sister-in-law."
"He's not your eldest brother, he's your second brother. How could I mistake him for someone else with that head of white hair? Hurry up and identify him, just in case." The fat boy got angry when he saw that he ignored him and simply snatched the poster from his hand.
"Hey, you are such a jerk." The tall boy couldn't stop him and couldn't resist his insistence. He looked in the direction he pointed, but didn't see a single white hair. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at the fat boy, snatched the poster back and said, "Yuan Xiu, did you stay up late again last night? Your eyesight is so poor at such a young age. How are you going to get into the military academy in the future? Be careful that your dad will beat you. My second brother went shopping in the mall? If you tell this to others, 80% of the people in the Federation won't believe it."
The fat boy, Yuan Xiu, was still unwilling to give up. He looked doubtfully at the place where no one could be seen, and scratched his hair: "But it really looks like it to me, and I went to bed quite early last night..."
"There are many people who follow the trend and dye their hair white, especially those mecha warriors with high physical fitness levels. There are a lot of people who look like them." Chu Yan answered indifferently, and then carefully looked at the bold remarks column on the poster, patted his shoulder, and said excitedly: "Mysterious weapon, we came to the right place this time. It must be a good thing that can make a famous brand keep it a secret. Let's go, let's go find Fan Qi to get some inside information to satisfy our curiosity."
This time it was Yuan Xiu who rolled his eyes. He frowned and said, "Don't bother Fan Qi all the time. We are not from the same class. He has been promoted to a military academy and is a reserve soldier. He is very busy. You should just be quiet for a while."
"It's because he's been admitted to the military academy that we can't stop quieting down. Otherwise, why do you think my eldest brother gave his family a batch of mutated red tin ore to make a gimmick for famous brands? Fan Qi is a talent, and the eldest sister of the Fan family is slippery in playing neutrality. The Fan family is such a big piece of meat, and when Fan Qi enters the military academy, do you think the other families will stop quieting down?" Chu Yan, with an unreliable face still covered with baby fat, said some shrewd words that frightened Yuan Xiu.
"You are really..." Yuan Xiu felt that he suddenly didn't recognize his good friend anymore.
"Learn something, innocent boy." Chu Yan patted his shoulder nonchalantly. His cunning plan was instantly exposed. He held up the poster and continued to drool, his eyes sparkling. "I must have forgotten to buy the mecha model I asked my second brother to bring. I have to replenish the stock here. Look at this latest limited edition model on the shelf. It's so cool! I have to find Fan Qi to order one privately! Fortunately, I was smart and secretly took Fan Qi's way. See, we don't have to worry about models in the future. Hurry up and thank brother!"
Yuan Xiu: “…” This was indeed the good friend he was familiar with.
After buying the school supplies as quickly as possible, Chu Rong took Georgia to a very deserted floor of the mall and took out two strange machines from a custom shop.
"This is a mental power simulator." Chu Rong fiddled with the two earring-like things, took out one and put it on his ear, pressed the gem button on it, and touched it again.
A slightly sharp mental force flashed past her ear, the place where she wore the simulator felt hot, and then a strange feeling came over her. Georgia couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her earring, and looked up at Chu Rong, whose expression looked very ugly for some reason.
"In your situation, you should have gone to a special school, but since you want to learn mecha manufacturing, it's not appropriate to go to a special school, so I asked Xiangnan to arrange an ordinary junior college for you." Chu Rong pulled his short hair to slightly cover the earring inlaid with a light green gem, and explained in detail: "Ordinary schools will frequently use mental power in daily study. It would be very inconvenient if you don't have it, so I asked someone to make this. This gem-like thing is actually a reminder light. When the mental power stored in it is almost exhausted, the gem will turn red, and you will feel your ears getting hot. At that time, remember to take off the earring and wear the spare one, and then bring back the exhausted one so that I can replenish your mental power."
Georgia finally understood what Chu Rong meant when he said that he would encounter many difficulties in school. It turned out that it was so difficult for him, a "third-level disabled person", to even go to an ordinary college. The white-haired monster must have worried about this. He took the other spare earring and nodded obediently.
Chu Rong looked at his obedient appearance, frowned even tighter, but lowered his tone, and said with a hint of comfort: "When you wear this, other classmates may look at you strangely, but don't worry about it. If someone laughs at you for this, just beat them back. They are definitely not as strong as you."
Georgia, who had a little understanding of his character, vaguely guessed the reason why he was unhappy. She felt warm in her heart, looked up at him and smiled, and replied: "I won't let anyone bully me, don't worry."
This time Chu Rong did not deny his words. He admitted his worries, and brushed his short hair, which made him look much more energetic after being cut short, and scolded him, "Don't be so stupid all the time."
Georgia continued to laugh and nuzzled his hand affectionately.
They found a restaurant with good privacy for lunch. After lunch, Chu Rong took Georgia to a floor specializing in mecha models and bought him a set of models. When he was about to take him to the ancient martial arts training hall, he saw him standing under the billboard on the floor, staring at a poster without moving.
He looked over and glanced at the words on the poster, becoming interested: "Auction of famous mecha models and accessories?"
Georgia came back to her senses, walked to his side and said, "Sorry, I was distracted. Where did you say you were going? Let's go." He never expected that the auction for the giant sword would be held in this mall. He blamed himself for being careless because he didn't pay attention to the auction location because he didn't know the surrounding environment. He also didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that the mall Chu Rong brought him to was exactly the mall where the auction was held.
This time it was Chu Rong's turn to stay. He stared at the words "Mysterious Weapon" on the poster, thinking of his brother who had asked him for a model the last time they met. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's go take a look at this auction."
"Huh?" Georgia froze.
"I need to buy something." Chu Rong replied and walked towards the floor where the auction was held.
Georgia was stunned. She looked at the poster, then at Chu Rong, who had long legs and walked fast. She moved hesitantly on the spot, then followed him in a panic. Her thoughts were instantly confused - he should not be discovered, he was participating in the auction anonymously, and A1 also said that as long as he was anonymous, others would not know the real identity of the auctioneer, confidentiality could be guaranteed, and the machine would not lie.
But, what if he is discovered? What if he is discovered? With the white-haired monster's temper... His heart skipped a beat, and he tightened his fingers, only to feel even more confused. He originally decided to sell the giant sword in order to collect money to buy medicine tools as soon as possible, but now it seems that this decision was made too hastily.
If I were discovered...then, then...
Confess? But if he had to confess... the magic storage ring that couldn't be scanned by mental power, the mutated red tin ore, magic power, magic circle, secondary mutated red tin ore, weapon forging... He counted the things he had concealed in his mind, his heart beat faster, and his ears moved restlessly.
Unconsciously, he had actually hidden so many things from the white-haired monster. Obviously, he just wanted to conceal the origin of the black hole and the peculiarity of the magic power at the beginning... Let's not talk about the origin of the black hole, just talk about the magic power, can he really confess this?
He slowed down his pace, glanced at Chu Rong who was walking in front of him, his expression gradually tensed, his lips tightened, and after hesitating for a moment, he quickened his pace and caught up.
The magic power is completely different from the power system of this world. His last trump card, which will definitely be questioned in detail once it is revealed, can he really tell it? After he tells it, how will the white-haired monster treat him? Will it associate it with other things? And the military power behind the white-haired monster...
He turned his head to look at Chu Rong beside him, raised his hand to touch the simulator on his earlobe, felt the sharp mental power contained in it, and his heart slowly sank.
Chu Rong arrived at the floor where the auction was held with all sorts of random thoughts in his mind. He showed his senior membership status to the staff, used his membership privileges to temporarily purchase an admission ticket, and took Georgia into the VIP box of the auction through the VIP channel.
After sitting down in the box, Chu Rong pushed the product catalogue of this auction in front of Georgia and said, "You are allowed to buy three items. Pick one as a gift for the beginning of school."
Georgia took the album and calculated in his mind the money Chu Rong had spent on buying things for him today. He silently decided not to buy anything for a while, and he was not in the mood to buy anything at the moment.
They decided to attend the auction at the last minute, so they arrived a little late. The auction had already been going on for a while.
Chu Rong flipped through the product album and saw that there was nothing particularly special in it, so he put the album aside, turned on the computer, and flipped through the documents to be processed next week while waiting for the final mysterious gift.
As a rule, mysterious gifts specially marked by famous brands are usually rare and good things that are worth waiting for.
The circular screen in the box clearly displayed the scene in the auction hall outside. Georgia watched for a while and found that the auction process was similar to what he had searched on the Internet, so he moved his eyes away without interest. He glanced at Chu Rong who was concentrating on flipping through something on the computer, lowered his head to open the album, and turned to the last mysterious gift - the customer service of Mingpin told him in the morning that the weapon he made would be arranged in the last auction after its level was identified, but he didn't expect that the other party would make the giant sword into a mysterious gift and create such a big gimmick.
His palms were slightly sweaty, and he thought of the things he had told Mingpin before, and felt a little annoyed. He only thought that anonymity could conceal his identity, and that model toys would not be noticed by any big shot, but he ignored the possibility that this thing could be seen and recognized by acquaintances, although he had very few acquaintances here...
The auction outside was going on in full swing, but the box was unusually quiet. The exquisite and interesting model accessories were sold one by one, and in a blink of an eye, only the last page was left in the album. Chu Rong finally noticed the unusual silence of the people around him, turned his eyes away from the optical computer, and asked, "No one wants to buy?"
"No, no." Georgia shook her head and covered up her distraction by flipping through the album. Her mind was in a mess. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye and saw that he seemed to be in a good mood. She hesitated and said, "Chu Rong, if, I mean if, if I made a mistake——"
"Two hundred thousand! Chu Yan, are you done yet? You're addicted to snatching, right? You bought a set of phantom swords at the last auction, and you're bidding again this time. What? You want to take it back to change it?"
A hoarse voice of a boy who was in the voice change period suddenly came out from the loudspeaker. On the screen, at the window of a box on the second floor of the hall, a handsome boy pushed open the blocking glass in frustration and shouted angrily at a box diagonally opposite.
Georgia's question was choked back, and Chu Rong's attention was diverted after hearing a certain name. He looked towards the box where the boy was looking with a dark face.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand." Another lazy young voice sounded, and the glass on the window of the box across the street was pushed open. A handsome young man stuck his head out and said angrily, "Yeah, change it. I got this set of swords. I plan to dye it and put it on the 'Pink Princess'."
Pink Princess is a mecha model targeted at girls. It is not very aggressive and is just a beautiful and expensive toy. It would be a waste to equip it with any powerful weapons.
The auctioneer on the stage paused, and all the guests in the hall froze as well. They turned their heads to look back and forth at the two young men who were conversing across the air, and suddenly burst into a heated booing.
"Mr. Xiang and Mr. Chu are fighting again. It's going to be exciting!"
"I knew they were coming, so I stopped filming. We definitely can't take pictures of what they want. We can just watch the fun."
"The price of something worth tens of thousands of yuan was increased to more than 200,000 yuan. It's good to be rich. He is indeed a famous playboy among the four major families."
"Even a playboy is better than you. He is definitely a candidate for military school. His talent is there. We can't compare to him."
"It's so rare to see such down-to-earth descendants of the four great families. Clap, clap, clap! Clap! Don't be afraid if you have money!"
The handsome young man was so angry at Chu Yan's words "Pink Princess" that he almost flew to heaven. He slapped the handrail that was exposed after the box's shielding glass was pushed open and said angrily: "Three hundred thousand! I want to see how much money you have left! Your second brother is back, and I don't believe he will let you spend it like this!"
"Four hundred thousand. You make it sound as if your brother hasn't come back. Oh, by the way, your brother came back claiming to be sick. He said he would go to help my second brother share the patrol mission, but he fell ill as soon as he got there. He looks so delicate. My second brother who has been to the battlefield can't compare to him." Chu Yan didn't give in at all. His tone was deliberately nonchalant, which made him even more infuriating.
"You!" The handsome young man's face flushed red as he listened to the whispers of people in the hall. He knew that continuing to argue would only embarrass his elder brother, so he gritted his teeth and glared at the auctioneer, shouting, "Five hundred thousand!" He looked like he was determined to overwhelm the other party with the price.
"Six hundred thousand." Chu Yan continued to raise the price, his calmness was infuriating.
From the beginning of this farce of the rich fighting, Chu Rong's aura began to be wrong. Georgia looked at his hands on the table slowly tapping the light computer, and then looked at the face of the handsome boy on the screen that looked about 60% similar to Chu Rong. A guess arose in her mind and asked, "Do you know that boy?"
"More than knowing each other." Chu Rong sneered in response, turned on the communicator, picked up a number and dialed it, then said coldly: "Room 233, come here."
The handsome young man on the screen suddenly paused, turned sideways and lowered his head towards the box and pressed something. Then his body visibly stiffened, and without any warning, he left the handsome young man who roared "700,000", lowered the shielding glass, and disappeared.
Georgia looked at Chu Rong's cold face, kept silent and reduced her presence - this behavior was indeed more than just a sign of acquaintance.
The opponent ran away. The handsome boy was stunned for a moment, then he slammed the handrail even more angrily and shouted, "Chu Yan, you are screwing me again! You wait! I will beat you to death next time I see you!"
There was no movement in the box diagonally opposite. The handsome young man could no longer perform his one-man show. Feeling sorry for the hundreds of thousands of dollars he had wasted, he turned around and forcefully closed the window screen!
Without the excitement to watch, the customers in the hall withdrew their gazes reluctantly and talked enthusiastically about the grievances between the Chu and Xiang families for a while. After satisfying their gossip desires, they turned their attention back to the next auction.
In less than a minute, the door of Box 233 was carefully pushed open, and a handsome young man with a shaved head poked his head in. He looked around the room and was stunned when he saw Georgia. Then he quickly skipped over him and looked at Chu Rong with a bad expression. He smiled dryly and said, "Second brother, why are you here? I was just joking with Xiang Kun just now. Really, you see, I didn't spend money indiscriminately."
Chu Rong sneered and knocked on the table: "You haven't spent enough? Come in, what do you look like standing at the door!"
Chu Yan's scalp tightened and he pushed the door open timidly, but did not come in. Instead, he turned around to pull Yuan Xiu who was shrinking behind him, but was met with fierce resistance from the other party.
"What are you afraid of? My brother doesn't eat people!" Chu Yan was unwilling to let go.
Yuan Xiu tried his best to move backwards, not daring to look at Chu Rong's cold face, and said in a low voice: "I don't want to go back and be beaten by my dad. Do you still have any loyalty to your friends? Let go!"
"I'm not the one who's disloyal now, so you can't run away!"
"If you want to die, die by yourself. I don't want to die with you!"
The two of them were arguing at the door and refused to come in. Chu Rong ran out of patience. He sneered and called out in a deep voice, "Chu Yan."
Chu Yan's body trembled, and Yuan Xiu took the opportunity to break free from his hand. He gave him a look that told him to wish him well, then turned and slipped away.
No loyalty!
After condemning his friend in his heart, Chu Yan adjusted his expression, lowered his head and walked into the door. After closing the door, he walked to the table, gave Chu Rong a stiff and bright smile, and flattered him, "Second brother, long time no see, I missed you so much."
"I went home ten times and you were not there ten times. You disappeared as soon as the school was on vacation. I couldn't get through to you eight times out of ten. I asked you to come and train with me, but you never came once. Is this what you said about missing me?" Chu Rong ruthlessly tore apart the "fake" brotherhood between the two, leaving them no face at all.
"Uh..." Chu Yan was speechless. He turned his eyes and saw Georgia looking at him curiously. His eyes lit up and he changed the subject abruptly, saying, "Who is he? Is he your new subordinate, brother? He doesn't look very old."
"Don't change the subject." Chu Rong frowned.
"How can this be called changing the subject? This is obviously basic courtesy." Chu Yan argued, looking at Georgia and greeting her warmly: "Hello, my name is Chu Yan, and I'm his younger brother."
As expected, he was a brother. Georgia sat up straight, smiled at him, and introduced herself: "Hello, I'm Georgia."
Chu Rong's eyes lit up at his smile, and he immediately ignored his second brother and responded more enthusiastically: "Hello, hello, you look really young. It must be hard to follow my brother. Your earmuffs are very nice. Where did you buy them? I want to buy one too. They will be just in use for the masquerade after school starts."
Chu Rong's face darkened.
"It's not very hard." Georgia glanced at Chu Rong, touched his ear, and explained: "This is not an earmuff, it's real."
Chu Rong was surprised, his eyes fixed on his ears, his curiosity was overflowing: "Really? It's actually true? Then with this appearance, are you a hermit? Or a native from some marginal planet?"
Georgia was stunned. A hermit? What is that?
In fact, he had always felt a little strange. The people here did not seem surprised or disgusted by his pointed ears, as if they had figured out the origin of his ears. Not only the ears, but after the polygraph test on the warship, the white-haired monster and his group seemed to have found a reasonable explanation for his origins, but the other party seemed to be hesitant about something and never mentioned it in front of him.
The Alexander Mountains and the Polit Valley were the only accurate information he gave at the time. He didn't know whether the other party had looked up these two place names, or what they found out in the end. The other party's acceptance of him had always been opaque and one-sided. The asymmetry of information made him very uneasy, but he didn't dare to ask rashly, fearing that if he said anything more, the other party would overturn their guess about his origins, and thus face the situation of being suspected and interrogated again when he first arrived.
There was a line of unfamiliar letters and numbers written on the temporary resident identity card that Tan Shengwei had obtained for him. He knew that it was the planet number, but he didn't know what the number meant. He passively followed the other party's arrangements. Before he got the optical computer that was not restricted, all the information he knew came from the active disclosure of the White Haired Monster and his group. However, on this point, even Zhuang Yu, who treated him the most kindly, had never revealed too much to him.
It was only after he got the temporary identity certificate that he realized that he was arranged as an indigenous person. Tan Shengwei explained that people like him who were out of touch with the current level of technology were called indigenous people, but what was a hermit? He had never heard of such a term.
The language barrier made him miss the best opportunity to find out more. Later, when he was able to communicate smoothly and had a chance to find out something, the people around him seemed to have received some instructions and tacitly only mentioned the future in front of him, not the past.
This almost blind situation made him feel grateful but also a little worried, and he didn't dare to open up.
Chu Yan noticed his silence and pause, thinking that he didn't like others asking about these things, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "Sorry, I didn't mean it. You don't have to say it if you don't want to. I don't mean to look down on the natives and the hermits. Just now I-"
"sit down."
Chu Rong suddenly interrupted him, moved the auction brochure, blocked Georgia's sight for a while, pointed to the opposite position to Chu Yan, and asked, "Where did you go during the holiday?"
Georgia's thoughts were interrupted. She turned her head to look at him, her eyes a little confused and with a hint of struggle.
Chu Rong frowned, thinking that Chu Yan's words reminded him of some sad past events, so he pushed the snack plate in front of him as a way of comforting him. He looked at Chu Yan who had already sat down and asked again: "What did you do during the holiday? Why didn't you contact your family?"
Chu Yan watched the interaction between the two and paid special attention to the hand of his second brother that had just pushed the dim sum. His heart was scratching like a cat's claws, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he honestly explained: "I formed a team with Yuan Xiu and the others to look for treasures. Second brother, I earned this amount of money from this adventure, and I also met a great mineral seeker who agreed to help our family find other missing flagship repair materials." He gestured with his hand and said a number with a proud look on his face.
"Stop fooling around. What if something happens if you run around?" Chu Rong frowned and poured cold water on him.
Chu Yan's expression froze. Seeing that he was about to get angry again, he quickly added, "Big Brother sent an old hand to follow me, and Yuan Xiu's family also asked Yuan Xiu to bring people. The places we went to are all relatively safe planets. There is no danger at all. Don't worry, second brother."
"So big brother also knows that you went out, and you two hid it from me together?" Chu Rong was not comforted at all, but became even angrier.
Oops!
Chu Yan was so annoyed that he wanted to bite off his tongue, and the hairs on his body stood up - he was careless and actually sold out his elder brother without realizing it. It was all over, it was all over now.
Seeing that he didn't refute, Chu Rong curled up the corners of his mouth and revealed a sneer, looking like a storm was about to come.
Georgia looked at this and that, shifting uneasily, trying to lighten the mood but not knowing how.
Just as the atmosphere was at a stalemate, the hall, which had been relatively calm until now, suddenly became a commotion. The screen displaying the products turned black, and after a sound effect, a huge purple sword with golden patterns suddenly pierced through the darkness and pierced into the middle of the screen, slanting in the middle of the screen.
"Fuck..." Chu Yan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He excitedly leaned over the screen, drooling. "Is this the mysterious weapon in this issue? The color and light effect are amazing! The purple weapon, is it made of purple cloud stone? Or is it quicksand? Oh my god, the shape of this sword is so cool! I just don't know if it's powerful or not."
Chu Rong also looked over, examined the sword, and frowned.
Georgia didn't expect to get the giant sword so quickly. Her heart was in her throat and her palms began to sweat again.
He hesitated for a few days before putting the giant sword up for sale. After consulting A1, he used his optical computer to search and read most of the auction house's terms and conditions. After confirming that if an anonymous auction was chosen, no party would have the right to access customer information, he felt that selling the giant sword should not cause any trouble, so he decided to sell it.
But... he took one look at the golden magic pattern on the giant sword and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Low-level mistake, made again...
As if knowing the customer's concerns, a heavy mecha model suddenly rushed up from the top of the frozen screen. The model grasped the giant sword, flipped over neatly, and landed steadily on the ground.
Chu Yan slammed the table excitedly: "Master! The person operating this model is a master! The flip just now was so smooth!"
After the mecha model stood still holding the giant sword, another mecha model holding an energy sword suddenly rushed out from the edge of the screen and attacked directly towards the former. The customer's heart immediately rose.
"It's actually a fight. It seems that Mingpin attaches great importance to this weapon!" Chu Yan said excitedly. Georgia silently moved back, lowered her head, and her thoughts raced in her mind.
The mecha model holding the giant sword blocked the enemy's energy sword with just a wave of its hand, and then counterattacked fiercely without waiting for the opponent to recover. The latter was unable to dodge and quickly blocked it with the energy sword.
Click.
A crisp cracking sound was heard, and the energy sword broke into two halves. After the giant sword cut off the energy sword, it continued to attack, and the tip of the sword brushed past the sensor cabin on the opponent's chest.
Another sharp scratching sound was heard, and a big gash appeared on the chest of the model that was scratched. It lost its energy response, fell to the ground, smoking.
The entire battle lasted less than ten seconds. There were no fancy fighting skills. The two models attacked and blocked each other for a round like in a friendly exchange match. Then the attacker with the energy sword was defeated, and was completely scrapped.
The hall and the box were quiet. Georgia moved and felt as if her back was sweating.
The picture on the screen froze for a few seconds, then the battle scene disappeared, and the specific values of the giant sword appeared on the screen, densely arranged. At the same time, a detailed image of the giant sword appeared next to the data, slowly rotating 360 degrees.
"Oh my God, special grade activity? Special grade hardness as well? Am I dreaming? Very few mecha weapons can reach such values. Is the data of the famous brand fake?" Chu Yan was so shocked that he almost jumped up, and Georgia almost jumped up at the exclamation.
The temperature in the box seemed to drop a bit, and Georgia keenly noticed that Chu Rong was looking over here.
"I..." His ears were tense with tension, and he wanted to say something, but he found his throat was extremely dry and he couldn't say anything for a while.
"Unknown materials? What the hell, how can it be unknown?" Chu Yan was still muttering to the data sheet, excited and confused: "Could it be that new materials have appeared? Is this a test work made by a master using new materials? Ah, it turns out to be another anonymous auction. These people are so cunning nowadays."
Georgia clutched her clothes tightly and didn't dare to look up.
"The material is unknown" was what he asked Mingpin to mark as such. After he had cast the giant sword, he scanned it with Mingpin's estimator and the result was "unknown". Later, he guessed that the change occurred because he added a magic circle to the giant sword and used the magic circle to smelt and forge the material. In order to avoid trouble, he asked Mingpin, which actually knew the material of the giant sword, to mark it like this.
This can be considered as a form of self-protection and market testing for him. With the magic circle in place, he may produce more such "things made of unknown materials" in the future. Now that he has not yet officially integrated into society and no one except the white-haired monster and his group knows of his existence, he can test the public's acceptance of unknown things, which can also be regarded as a small patch for the future.
Of course, these were just some of the ideas that came to his mind when he was thinking about making money. The main purpose of selling the giant sword was to make money to buy potion-making tools.
