Georgia couldn't help but call Mr. Ren, but Mr. Ren hung up and sent a message back saying that he was busy doing experiments and had no time to answer the call, and then he ignored him.
"Mr. Ren did it on purpose." Chu Yan smacked his lips, looked at the details of the auction item again and again, and asked, "Qiao, I remember my second brother said that some of the weapons you made can be sold, and some should be kept for yourself. Then are these double swords the kind that can be sold?"
Georgia was reminded by him and realized the problem. She shook her head and replied, "No, this one cannot be sold. Not only did I use secondary mutated red tin ore, I also used star sand. I also added magic power when forging it, and drew a magic circle on it."
Although the magic circle may not look obvious due to the characteristics of star sand, its power will not be discounted. Even without measuring the data, he can roughly know that the power of this weapon is definitely the most powerful among all the weapons he has made.
"You also added cinnabar sand?" Chu Yan was also surprised. The most powerful thing about cinnabar sand is that it can multiply certain properties of the material and is the best natural amplifier.
The secondary mutated red tin ore is already powerful enough, and it is amplified by star sand... Oh my God.
Georgia was also worried, and still a little confused: "Why would Mr. Ren just put this weapon up for auction? This is not in line with his principles."
"And it's the finale item. Usually, the finale item is the focus of the auction, and customers will pay close attention to it." Chu Yan frowned, thought for a while and suddenly said, "In this case, let's go and bid for this weapon back! We can't let it fall into the hands of others! The weapon you made last time can easily scratch the hull of a ship, but this one..."
"etc!"
Georgia suddenly thought of something and came up with a guess. She said a little embarrassedly, "Maybe... this weapon is not as powerful as I thought..."
"Ah?" Chu Yan turned his head to look at him, puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Georgia moved her ears and suddenly felt guilty, she said: "There was a bit of Xiao Hei's mother's snake skin mixed in the star sand that I brought back. I thought it looked very powerful, so I added a little bit of it when forging the weapon... Maybe that lowered the performance of the weapon." It was so low that Mr. Ren felt it was okay to sell the weapon.
Chu Yan: “…”
He remembered that the skins of Xiao Hei's mother had been tested when they were first brought back. They did not meet the material standards at all. The values were all unknown, and the texture felt very rough, just like an ordinary snake skin.
"That's star sand..." He finally said this dryly.
Lian Ren didn't get much of the star sand, and Qiao left half for him because his second brother was partial to him. But now...
"S-Sorry..." Georgia lowered his head in shame, picking at the corner of his clothes with his fingers, his face flushed. When he was forging the weapon, he remembered the kiss on the ear again, and then he got excited and...
The two of them were silent. Finally, Chu Yan wiped his face, raised his arm and put his arm on his shoulder, threw the invitation letter and said, "It doesn't matter. It's not a waste, right? It's the finale weapon, it will probably be auctioned at a sky-high price! It also comes with two invitation letters, it's not a loss, the star sand is all exchanged for potions, you can use it to take a bath!"
Considering the material of cinnabar, your skin will probably be broken if you use it for bathing.
Georgia listened to his unreliable comfort, and felt less ashamed. She also realized her mistake more and more. She put on a serious expression and promised, "I won't do this again in the future!"
Mr. Ren specially put the two swords up for auction and asked him to participate in the auction. This must be a subtle reminder to him that he wasted materials. Since everyone is so considerate of his feelings, he also needs to cheer up.
"It's okay! Just do whatever you want, as long as you are happy!" Chu Yan patted his shoulder and said, "At worst, let your second brother take the blame for you. He is tall and can carry it steadily!"
Georgia couldn't help but imagine Chu Rong carrying the blame, and she burst out laughing. She felt it was not serious, and tried hard to hold it back. So she was torn about whether to laugh or not, and her face was distorted, making her look even more silly.
Chu Yan looked at him like this, patted his shoulder with satisfaction, and sighed with a mature look on his face - Yes, be happier, if you are happy, your second brother will be happy too.
The two arrived at the destination according to the address on the invitation and were amazed to find that Mingpin had generously arranged this auction in mid-air. To be precise, it was arranged in the Yunwu Hotel in mid-air.
"The hotel's shell is made entirely of transparent material, suspended high in the air, surrounded by artificial clouds. Sitting inside feels like sitting on the clouds. The last time I came here was a few years ago, and it felt pretty good."
Chu Yan took Georgia to the sightseeing elevator that went straight to the Cloud Hotel. He pointed at the scenery outside as it slowly emerged as it rose into the sky, and said, "It's more beautiful here at night. There are many buildings in the entire star that can get a license to hang a flag, but only this hotel can see the most complete and best night view. If the auction ends early today, I'll take you around the hotel."
Georgia nodded, her palms pressed against the glass wall of the elevator, and her eyes lit up as she watched the scenery below slowly shrink and the clouds approaching. It was really beautiful, with all the buildings under her feet and a thin layer of mist floating around her, as if she was walking in the sky.
"Look, a rainbow." Chu Yan suddenly pointed in a direction.
He looked over there and saw a rainbow spanning the edge of the increasingly thick clouds, like a bridge across the clouds.
"It's a big deal from a famous brand. This kind of welcome rainbow doesn't appear every day. It will probably have artificial scenery like colorful clouds on it." Chu Yan guessed, looking up in the direction of the hotel, which was not yet visible, and muttered to himself.
It's such a grand occasion, and it's for this kind of occasion. Is it possible that the princess of the empire will come? The rainbow is specially used to welcome female guests.
After the elevator rose a little higher, the clouds really did change color slowly. People walking through it seemed as if they were quickly experiencing the four seasons, morning and evening, as the color and light of the clouds changed. There was an unreal sense of time travel.
Georgia's face flushed with excitement, and she was full of admiration in her heart. Suddenly, she felt a little sorry that Chu Rong was not around.
After the last layer of colorful mist descended to the bottom of the feet, a crystal-like building supported by white mist appeared before our eyes.
“So beautiful…”
Georgia looked up, her ears twitching with excitement.
Chu Yan smiled and said, "The outer wall of this building can change color according to the changes in light, like a big gem. I remember that there was a dark-themed banquet here last year, and the whole building turned black in an instant. It was quite interesting. I'll bring you here to play when I have the chance."
Georgia nodded vigorously and added, "Everyone come together."
The beautiful scenery put the two in a very good mood. They both had smiles on their faces when they stepped out of the elevator. They were particularly friendly when they handed the invitation to the waiter. They even chatted with the waiter for a while and praised the creativity of his hotel.
The atmosphere was very harmonious, they were happy and the waiters were happy, but someone wanted to spoil the mood.
"Bumpkin."
A female voice came from another sightseeing elevator entrance, and then a gorgeously dressed blonde girl came out, followed by two people who looked like servants. The girl didn't even look in this direction when she spoke, and walked straight inside, completely ignoring the waiter's greetings and calls. She probably didn't even see Chu Yan and Georgia clearly.
The servant behind her also imitated her and handed a printed invitation to the waiter with an arrogant look. He glanced at Chu Yan and Georgia indifferently, and chased after the girl with measured steps.
He actually guessed it right, Chu Yan's face fell.
"You are both blonde and blue-eyed, why are you so polite while that one is showing off like a hairless peacock?" He couldn't help but say something, not caring at all that the waiter was still beside him, and turned his head to Georgia and said, "The girl just now is Princess Anlin of the Empire. She has high aspirations and dares to act like this in our Federation. Sooner or later, she will fall."
Georgia glared slightly when she heard that, but she restrained herself from saying anything to criticize the girl in public.
That person was actually Princess Anlin of the Empire? He originally thought that the princess of the Empire was just a little "blind" and "passionate" about "love", but now it seems that his previous understanding of the princess was completely wrong.
"Let's go. This is such a bummer. Let's go to the box." Chu Yan patted his shoulder, motioned for the waiter to lead the way, turned around and pulled him towards their box.
After they left, a boy with blond hair and blue eyes stepped out of the elevator. He looked at the waiter waiting at the elevator entrance and asked politely, "Excuse me, who were those two people just now?"
"They are Marshal Chu's brothers." The waiter replied, neither humble nor arrogant, and said with a smile: "Mr. An Ting, please show us the invitation."
The address is sir, not prince, and this attitude speaks volumes.
An Ting's eyes deepened, knowing that it was his sister's attitude that angered the waiter of this hotel. He turned his head and waved to the servant following behind him, then looked in the direction where Chu Yan and the other person disappeared, as if thinking about something.
Marshal Chu’s brothers… Could that weird pointy-eared monster be one too?
The auction will not start until after lunch, and there will be entertainment activities arranged by Mingpin in the morning.
Chu Yan sat in the box, enjoying the food while watching the singing and dancing performance in the hall. It was so beautiful that he almost wanted to take a sip of wine. He sighed, "The Fan family is really good at handling things. No wonder their business is getting bigger and bigger."
Georgia, who had finally peeled the shrimp meat, looked up at him when she heard this, and remembered Mingpin's thoughtful and meticulous service when she wanted to sell the giant sword, and nodded in agreement.
After lunch, the auction officially began.
The exclusive auction was attended by VIPs, who all sat in private rooms. Mingpin simply set up the auction table in mid-air at the same level as the private rooms to make it easier for everyone to take a closer look at the items.
After the auction table and the auctioneer appeared, the walls of the box suddenly disappeared, revealing the blue sky outside. The floor slowly turned into clouds and mist, and the sofa chairs were placed on the clouds, making people feel as if they were sitting in mid-air.
"Actually, we are still in the box. These are all special effects." Chu Yan leaned close to Georgia's ear and whispered in explanation.
Georgia took a look at the misty scene in the sky where only the three of them and the auctioneer were present, and nodded as if she understood.
"Thank you all for coming. The auction of the first lot will now begin."
The auctioneer turned around and faced Chu Yan and Georgia, as if he was talking to them, but also as if he was not, and started the auction very quickly. The next second after he finished speaking, the mist under the auctioneer's feet suddenly spread to the platform next to him, and then the mist disappeared, and a majestic mecha appeared on it.
"The first lot is a new series of Flying Eagle mechas that Master Shang spent two years to complete. This one is the first generation, special grade, and comes with a complete set of customized weapons. The starting price is 50 million. All guests are welcome to bid."
The auctioneer's introduction to the items was very simple, maintaining the usual style of famous items. This was completely different from other auctions where auctioneers liked to exaggerate and praise the items.
Chu Yan pressed the bidder without hesitation. Georgia was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Xiao Yan, do you have so much money?" That was 50 million, not 5 million.
"No." Chu Yan shook his head frankly. Seeing the worry in his eyes, he hurriedly explained, "It's okay. If you really buy it, you can ask your family to send money. This is Master Shang's work, and it's a new series. It must have used new technology, plus the customized weapons. The reserve price of 50 million is like giving away cabbage. You'll see, the transaction price of this mecha will be at least 500 million. I'm just bidding for fun."
Georgia was shocked. Five hundred million, and that was just for one mecha. It was indeed an exclusive auction for senior members, and the price of the goods was not something that ordinary members could afford.
Following Chu Yan's bid, a price sign with a box number appeared above the mecha's head. There was also a three-minute countdown bar above the price. Once a price has not been refreshed by other customers within three minutes, the transaction will be automatically completed after three minutes.
After someone took the lead, other guests who were interested in the mecha also began to bid. The number of their box only appeared for a moment before it was covered by the numbers of other boxes. The price of the mecha quickly rose from 50 million to 100 million. It seemed that these guests were in a hurry and were unwilling to increase the price slowly.
Chu Yan was just looking for fun, he followed the others in bidding, increasing the price by ten million at a time, which made Georgia feel nervous.
After the price of the mecha exceeded 400 million, the number of bidding box numbers gradually decreased, and finally there were only three left, one was Chu Yan's 033, one was 022, and one was 011. The numbers looked quite neat.
"I heard that Master Shang of the Federation was in poor health and it took him two years to build a mecha. It must have been very hard. The Empire has always respected its elders. I'll give you 500 million as a token of my appreciation to the Federation's mecha manufacturing master."
A familiar girl's voice suddenly came from the depths of the clouds. As her voice fell, the number on the price tag changed to 500 million. At the same time, the clouds in the southwest corner slowly dissipated and became semi-hazy, revealing the figure of a girl sitting on a high-back sofa chair.
"What kind of attitude is this? Are you looking down on our Federation's masters?" Chu Yan was provoked by Princess An Lin's tone of pity and contempt. He made another bid without hesitation, raising the price directly to 600 million, and said angrily: "Master Shang, do you think you can say that? Do these people in the Empire know how to be guests?"
Georgia also frowned when she heard this, calculated her savings, and acquiesced to Chu Yan's offer.
With the weapons he had sold before and the mineral processing share that came in regularly, his savings had already exceeded 100 million without him noticing. It should be enough to buy this mecha if he gritted his teeth. As long as it doesn't exceed 10--
"Fuck, ten billion! Who's so rich! Box 066 has never had any offer before, why did it suddenly pop up now?" Chu Yan looked at the new number that appeared on the price sign and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Georgia's thoughts were interrupted, and she also looked over, her ears drooped, and she said, "Xiaoyan, you can't bid any higher, I don't have enough money..."
"No, no, no, as long as it's not that princess, it doesn't matter who takes the photo. Let's just watch the show." Chu Yan became excited. He looked at Princess An Lin, who was pretending to be awesome and surrounded by mist, and couldn't help laughing. "Everyone else is auctioning anonymously, but she is the only one who wants to show her face. I guess she's going to be embarrassed now."
Princess Anlin was really embarrassed at this moment. She had just offered 500 million and said a lot of straightforward words, but as soon as she finished speaking, her price was surpassed by another price that was doubled, covering up her price again. She was not given any face at all and was slapped twice in the face!
What's even worse is that she had specially turned her box into semi-transparent mode. She couldn't see others, but others could see her. Now she felt that there were mocking gazes everywhere around her, and she couldn't help but touch the meter.
The servant beside her bent down and whispered, "Princess, the queen said that you—"
"Shut up!"
An Lin glared at her, pressed the bid, chose 1.5 billion, and said in a low voice: "Chu Rong is here too, I can't let him look down on me!"
The two servants stopped talking, looked at each other, and one of them stepped back carefully, walked out of the box and sent a message to the prince.
"1.5 billion? Is the princess of the empire so rich?" The smile on Chu Yan's face disappeared, and he frowned again. After hesitating for a moment, he reached for the bidder again and gritted his teeth and said, "We are fighting for our dignity. The Federation must not be outdone in this matter. Big brother won't blame me!"
Georgia looked at him but didn't stop him.
Chu Yan spoke big words but was very tight-lipped. He was still rational and only raised the price by one dollar, sounding full of sarcasm and argument.
"I've always been one level higher than you, just to piss you off to death!" Chu Yan felt relieved after making his offer. He leaned back on the sofa like a big boss, looking at the imperial princess who was still half covered in mist, with eyes that were like flying knives.
"Who is in Room 033? I want to arrest him!" Princess An Lin was used to being arrogant in China. When had she ever been targeted like this? One dollar, but the price was only one dollar higher. The other party was obviously doing it on purpose!
Without hesitation, she picked up the bidder again and bid 3 billion.
The servant was shocked by the price, and when he turned around and saw that his companion had not returned yet, he became anxious.
Although the princess brought a lot of federal currency with her when she came to the Federation this time, she still couldn't afford to spend it all.
"Damn it! Three billion!"
Chu Yan slammed the table hard, very unwilling, but did not make another bid.
Although the Chu family is rich, they cannot afford to squander money like this. Three billion is really too much.
Seeing him like this, Georgia moved his ears, glanced at the bidder on the table, and slowly reached over - in fact, if he worked hard to make more mecha weapons and sell another crystal, 3 billion could be collected...
The price on the price tag changed again, 3 billion and one yuan, bidding room 033.
Chu Yan sat up straight, turned his head and stared at Georgia with wide eyes: "You..."
Georgia avoided his gaze guiltily, put down the bidding device, silently took out a crystal and put it on the table. Seeing that he was still staring at her, she took out a few more pieces and whispered, "If you like, bid for it. I, I have money..." Anyway, she couldn't be outdone by that princess.
"You are really my dear second brother - cough cough cough." Chu Yan almost called out "Second sister-in-law". He glanced at the beautiful sparkling crystal on the table, rushed over with tears in his eyes, pressed his shoulders, and said with emotion: "Qiao, if you have anything you want to do in the future, just tell me, I will go through fire and water, lie to my second brother and hide the truth from my eldest brother, as long as you say it, I will do it!"
“No, you don’t have to do that…” Georgia felt her back tingle at his “burning” gaze and said, “Go ahead and take the photo, but don’t tell Chu Rong and Big Brother when you go back. I’m afraid they’ll beat you up.”
"No!" Chu Yan still knew what was good for him. He held the bidding device in his hand again and said proudly, "I was stupid to tell others that I was the one who got angry with the princess today! Bid! Let's bid her to death!"
"033 again! Damn 033!" Princess Anlin was so angry that her hair stood up. She glanced towards the location of room 088, hesitated for a moment, and then made up her mind to touch the bidding machine again.
"Princess, don't! The prince said, you——"
"Go away!"
An Lin waved the servant's hand away and made another bid, this time directly for 5 billion. She was obviously out of her mind and said through gritted teeth: "I don't believe 033 can still follow!"
"grass!"
Chu Yan cursed, put the bidding device back, and didn't bid again.
Although Qiao has money and said that he can continue to bid, he can't waste it like this! This princess is so cruel, he is convinced!
"Xiaoyan, you don't want to bid anymore?" Seeing that he put down the bidder again, Georgia easily forgot his previous bold words. Worried that he was reluctant to part with the money, she hurriedly said, "If you want to bid, keep bidding. The ores we found during our last training are also very valuable and can be sold."
"No, a mecha worth 5 billion is equivalent to helping Master Shang raise his worth. She can be the sucker if she wants." Chu Yan said, pushing all the crystals on the table to him, motioning him to put them away, and said, "We can find another opportunity to piss off the princess later. There's no need to rush now!"
Georgia glanced at the hazy figure sitting behind the clouds, frowned, and felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of the "love at first sight post". When she was about to touch the meter again, she saw that the price on the price sign had directly changed to 10 billion, and she was stunned for a moment.
Chu Yan saw that his expression was not right, so he looked over as well, and then almost fell off the chair, and said in surprise: "Who is in room 066? Why is he so generous?"
"Where did this Room 066 come from?" Princess Anlin was also shocked, but angry.
After she made her bid, she saw that there was no movement in box 033, and she felt relieved. However, she didn't expect that box 066 would pop up again, and the price was doubled again!
"Princess, there's a message from the prince." The servant who had gone out to send a message to the prince finally came back.
Princess Anlin froze, glared at her fiercely, sat up, fixed her hair, and took the communicator.
"Anlin, be moderate in your mischief." An Ting's voice came from the communicator. It was cold and did not sound like he was talking to his sister at all. His tone was tolerant of rejection. He said coldly, "If you continue to be so stubborn, I will have no choice but to send you back to the empire. I am not a mother and I will not spoil you."
"elder brother……"
"Don't you think you've made enough jokes?" An Ting interrupted her, his attitude becoming increasingly cold: "Your only way out now is to marry into the Federation. If you continue to make trouble, no one can save you." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
An Lin froze, then clenched her fists unwillingly, her eyes almost twisted.
It's like this again, always like this, why should she accept this result!
She glanced in the direction of Box 088 again, threw the bidding device aside with a sullen face, and turned off the translucent effect of the box.
Princess Anlin's hazy figure disappeared, and the number on the price tag did not change. After the three-minute countdown, the first item of the auction was sold at a sky-high price of 10 billion yuan, and the winner was the distinguished guest in Room 066.
The auctioneer struck the hammer and announced that the transaction was successful.
Then a slightly hoarse and careless voice of an older man came out, saying: "Thank you Princess Anlin for giving up your love. In addition, my master is in good health, so I don't worry about you, Princess Anlin."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Yan sprayed water directly, and said while coughing: "Master Shang? The one in room 066 is Master Shang?"
He was stunned for a moment, then he was so happy that he put down the cup and laughed wildly, "It turned out that Master Shang personally bought the mecha back. This is a direct slap in the face to Princess Anlin's 500 million "kindness". He is worthy of being my mother's teacher, with a stubborn temper!"
Chu Yan’s mother’s teacher?
Georgia looked over, feeling happy and a little curious.
Having stayed in the Chu family for such a long time, he seldom heard the Chu family mention Chu's parents, nor had he met other relatives or friends of the Chu family. This was the first time he heard of someone related to Chu's father and mother.
Princess Anlin didn't expect that the person in room 066 was actually related to Master Shang. She just felt a burning pain on her face and was choking.
There is nothing more embarrassing than stepping on someone else's name to show off and then having that person get caught in the act.
The guest in Room 066 continued to speak, his attitude becoming more and more ruthless: "By the way, Princess Anlin, I heard that your father is looking for pharmacists in the country? Yes, it has been so many years since the war, and your father's health has not improved. I believe it must be very hard for him. It is said that good people will be rewarded. Marshal Chu of our Federation was lucky to recover his mental strength during the festival this year. I believe your father will get through it as soon as possible."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the guests in the box began to think differently.
Who is Princess Anlin's father? His Majesty the King of the Empire.
If the news said by the guest in box 066 is true, then the old king of the empire is probably in very bad health. There are so many royal pharmacists, but he chose to look for one outside. He would not have done so unless he was terminally ill and was seeking medical treatment indiscriminately.
Combined with the fact that the other party suddenly hooked up with the president and tried to insert people into the federation for marriage...is this to use the marriage to divert the federation's attention and cover up the fact that the king is seriously ill?
No, not only that, the princess of the empire stuck to Chu Rong as soon as she arrived in the Federation, and her attitude was so anxious. It happened that Chu Rong's condition improved and he returned to the military. It was obvious that she wanted to dig the secret of Chu Rong's recovery.
Interesting, I came to the right auction today.
The shrewd people started to think about something. Princess An Lin in room 022 showed a trace of panic on her face. An Ting, who was sitting in box 088 with Chu Rong, behaved a little better. He just lowered his eyes and turned his head to look in the direction of room 066.
Chu Rong, who had been silent the whole time, tapped the table lightly and said meaningfully, "It seems that Prince An Ting really doesn't know that Princess An Lin is going to the auction today... Maybe you need to go to the bathroom again?"
It was obvious that he was trying to get rid of people, but he was still stingy and unwilling to change the topic, giving Prince Antin a chance to fool around and cover up the news that the king was seriously ill.
An Ting withdrew his gaze and frowned. He secretly hated his stubborn temper, but was also afraid that the room 066 would continue to say something, or that his sister, who was always causing trouble but not doing anything good, would say something that shouldn't be said. He held his breath, stood up and said goodbye. He no longer sat here to be an eyesore, and turned to go to room 022.
The annoying guy left, and Chu Rong's cold expression immediately broke, showing some irritation. He tapped the table with his fingers again, turned his head to look at Fan Xiangnan who was waiting quietly in the corner, and said, "Send someone to contact the guest in Room 066 and find out the source of the information."
Fan Xiangnan knew that the Chu family had a very good relationship with Master Shang, so there was nothing wrong with asking directly. So he nodded, got up and left the box.
After the box door closed, Chu Rong's eyes fell on the auction brochure. He picked it up and flipped through it. His thoughts unconsciously moved to Georgia, who seemed very listless in the past few days, and he frowned.
It seems I teased him too much last time. Maybe I can buy him some gifts to appease him.
After guest No. 066 finished his speech, the auctioneer suddenly smiled and said that because this mecha was the first order of the day, Mingpin decided to waive the additional handling fee for the first transaction, as a small bonus for today's auction.
Chu Yan laughed even more exaggeratedly after hearing this. Master Shang spent 10 billion to buy back his mecha, and he only spent the handling fee. Now Mingpin has waived that handling fee. It is equivalent to irritating Princess Anlin without spending a penny. This deal is worth it!
Princess Anlin was so angry that her face turned green when she heard this. Just as she was about to explode, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and An Ting strode in and scolded in a cold voice: "Don't talk nonsense, pay attention to your manners!"
"Brother..." An Lin lowered her voice and acted coquettishly.
After all, she is his biological sister. He has already scolded her once today. An Ting could not say anything harsher. He just glared at her with regret. He did not scold her again. He sat next to her and looked at the auctioneer who had continued to auction the items below. He said in a cold voice: "This is the territory of the Federation. There are people from the Federation everywhere. How can you fight against a group of people alone! If you want to save face, you have to speak with strength. The highlight is what comes later."
An Lin was reminded of this by him. She felt a little relieved when she remembered the set of weapons she had specially put up for auction this time. But when she thought of the mysterious weapon listed as the finale in the auction details, she frowned again and said, "Brother, I understand the reason, but Mingpin didn't use my set of weapons as the finale, but instead used a pair of inexplicable swords as the finale. I was so angry that I..."
"Stupid!" An Ting couldn't help but scold her again. Seeing her shrink her neck and frown, he slowed down his voice and said, "This is just a little trick the Federation came up with to save face. Your main purpose today is to let Chu Rong take the picture of that set of weapons. Everything else is secondary! Now because of you, I was driven out by Chu Rong. I can't cooperate with the outside, and the news of my father's illness was exposed. You'd better pray that the weapon is attractive enough to Chu Rong, otherwise..."
"Why were you kicked out by Chu Rong? He——"
An Ting turned his head and looked at her coldly.
An Lin shut up, swallowed the question tactfully, and assured, "Don't worry, brother. I asked Master Brendan to customize that weapon according to Chu Rong's preferences. Chu Rong will definitely like it!"
"I hope so." An Ting snorted coldly and looked away.
After that, the auction went smoothly and normally. Chu Yan switched back to watching the show. He would admire every item that came out, but did not bid. He just watched others bid with great pleasure, occasionally gossiped, and ate snacks happily.
Georgia also joined in on the snacks, quietly waiting for the last item to be put on the shelves.
Before they knew it, more than an hour had passed and only the last two items were left in this small auction.
Another wave of mist gathered and dispersed, and a set of mecha weapons appeared on the display stand, a combination of cold weapons and hot weapons. The cold weapon was a dagger, and the hot weapon was a simplified double-barreled cannon. They were all low-key black and looked very textured.
The moment Chu Yan saw the weapon, he sat up, and unlike his previous yelling, he frowned and his expression became serious.
Georgia also stopped peeling nuts and looked at the weapons on the stage. Thinking of the old photo she had seen, she frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "This set of weapons..."
"It's a complete replica of the weapons on my brother's mecha back then." Chu Yan finished what he hadn't finished saying, and took out the old photo to compare it. He became more and more certain and said, "My second brother prefers simple weapons. He only likes short daggers for cold weapons, and double-barreled cannons for long-range weapons. This set of weapons seems to be tailor-made for my second brother."
Georgia didn't know this yet, because Chu Rong had never used weapons when he used the mecha in front of him before. Hearing this, he became eager and said, "Will Chu Rong really like it? Then I'll take pictures of them--"
"Don't shoot." Chu Yan stopped her, and glanced at Princess Anlin. His second-generation radar quickly stood up, and he shook his head and said, "Let's see what happens first. Believe me, I prefer the weapons you made yourself to the ones I bought."
Georgia blushed at what he said, and after thinking about it, he gave up the idea of bidding for this set of weapons. He started to make a plan in his mind - Xiaoyan was right, he could make a set of weapons for Chu Rong himself, and maybe it was time to get involved in the production of hot weapons.
"Sir." Fan Xiangnan couldn't help but look at Chu Rong at the table.
Chu Rong waved his hand, looked at the weapons on the stand, sneered, and said, "I didn't expect that after so many years, someone still remembers my weapon preferences. No wonder the president encouraged me to come so hard, and An Ting even came to invite me personally."
Fan Xiangnan also looked over and shook his head.
How could the commander possibly take such an obvious bait? Besides, the commander agreed to come to this auction not because of the invitation from the president and Antin.
The auctioneer on the scene broke away from his previous brief introduction style and gave a detailed introduction to this set of weapons: "This set of weapons was made by Master Brendan, the master mecha maker of the imperial royal family. It uses rare black thunder stone as the base material and has been carefully designed and carved for half a year..."
Finally, it was time for the main scene. Princess Anlin immediately sat up straight, tidied her hair, and decided to wait for the weapons to be bought by Chu Rong. Then she would show up and say that she would give the weapons to Chu Rong for free as a token of their love.
Five minutes later, the auctioneer's long speech ended and the weapons were announced to be auctioned.
Then one second, two seconds, three seconds... one minute...
The reserve price on the price tag remained unchanged, and no one made a bid. The scene was very awkward and deserted.
The auctioneer finally had to step out and try to sell the weapon again, but still no one was willing to bid. As the three minutes were about to pass and the weapon was about to be sold out, An Lin became anxious and reached for the bidder, saying, "Why isn't Chu Rong bidding? This weapon is obviously perfect. Does he want me to deliver it to him personally? But..."
"Shut up."
An Ting interrupted her but did not stop her from bidding, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
The weapons made by his Imperial Royal Family's mecha makers must not be allowed to go unsold in the Federation. This would not only be a loss of face for Master Brendan, but also a slap in the face of the Imperial Royal Family!
Princess Anlin made a bid, and it was 100 million, which was very high for weapons.
Three minutes later, the weapon was sold for 100 million, and the atmosphere in Box 022 sank to the bottom.
Finally, it was time for today’s finale. The auctioneer didn’t keep anyone in suspense. He waved his hand, and the auction table was once again covered in mist. At the same time, he gave a brief introduction: “Next, we will be showcasing the finale piece specially invited by our famous brand. It is a pair of swords made of secondary mutation red tin ore and star sand. Please take a look at the work.”
The mist disappeared, and a pair of crossed swords appeared on the stage.
