Chapter 240 All in...
The auction was halfway through and the items ahead were too expensive.
The only one with some money, Mr. Huo, had his account frozen.
The others were all poor and didn't really have anything they particularly liked, so they just pressed the quote machine to satisfy their curiosity and then left. They basically didn't dare to bid in the second round. Now they were a little bored and the quote machine was thrown casually on the table.
Yunmo was still flipping through the pages when something marked as a black box caught her attention.
"Come and look at this," she pulled up the information.
"It's the black box of the sixth generation Styx," Liu Yue said after just a quick glance.
"The sixth-generation melee mecha Styx?" Yun Mo was a little surprised. "Isn't that a military thing? Why would they sell it?"
Liu Yueban smiled and said, "The black box is what's left after the mecha is damaged. It's mainly used to record combat data. Its value lies in the combat footage it records.
If its former owner was someone of Instructor Lian's rank, it would be fought over by countless people. Otherwise, it would be of no real use."
"Tsk," Yun Mo couldn't help but feel sympathy for Lian Yi. Liu Yueban was probably transferring his resentment towards Instructor Zhang, cursing him every time he spoke.
However, this thing may be useless to others, but it represents the most advanced level of mecha spare parts, which is exactly what she needs.
"How much does this usually cost?"
After browsing the local area network in the room, I found no useful information and could only continue asking Liu Yueban.
"Not too expensive, about a few hundred thousand star coins."
Liu Yueban said sincerely that this is indeed cheap among mecha parts.
Yun Mo: ...She doesn’t like the expression of someone who treats hundreds of thousands of dollars as dirt.
"Do you have hundreds of thousands?" Yun Mo raised her head tentatively, looking at Liu Yue with anticipation, considering whether to borrow some first.
"Including subsidies, I may have tens of thousands..." Liu Yueban coughed and turned his head away.
"You?" Yun Mo looked at Lin Fancheng again.
"You know, I heard that there's a children's holiday on a certain planet today, and maybe I qualify..." He implied that he was still young and couldn't be financially independent.
Yunmo: ...a 1.80-meter-tall overage child! Do you need me to buy you a box of AD calcium milk?
Mo Mo didn't wait for Yun Mo to ask, and replied directly, "If it were on Blue Star, I would have it."
...That's the same as saying nothing.
According to Liu Yueban, although the black box is not valuable, it is rare in the open market. Even if there are any, most of them are mecha black boxes of the fifth generation and below, and most of them are incomplete.
Yun Mo is determined to make a mecha, and since she has encountered it today, she doesn't want to miss it.
She poked Huo Chuan's arm and said, "Master Huo, have you released your money yet? If you bid but don't have the money to pay, can the auction wait for us?"
"Are you kidding me?" Huo Chuan said angrily, "Do you think the Kosa family and the Mobis Auction House are reasonable places?"
Yunmo looked up at the sky, stroking his chin, wondering where to get some money first.
"The auction is on intermission. Everyone can walk around. We'll continue in two hours. I hope everyone has a good time..."
As Pride finished speaking, the light curtain dimmed, and was replaced by other entertainment options, both indoors and outdoors, which were extremely thoughtful.
"Knock knock knock", Wang Mingtao knocked on the door and came in with a happy smile on his face.
"Yunmo, there's a meteorite obstacle course race going on here in Mobis. Want to go and check it out? You can place bets. I heard there's a dark horse."
"Gambling?" Yun Mo became excited when she thought of this word.
"Let's go and take a look."
This is a venue built on the mountain, simulating the starry sky environment. Meteorites are flying densely from all directions. The driver needs to control the aircraft to pass through this interstellar turbulence and reach the destination.
This is a very exciting game. In the simulated environment, there are hundreds of small aircraft in front of you. Some have their power systems activated and are ready to take off, some have already started circling at low altitude, and a small number even have their weapons systems activated...
Surrounded by women wearing heavy makeup and revealing clothes, as well as men who spend money like water, the scene is filled with the atmosphere of the rich.
A waiter came up and introduced it to them enthusiastically.
The space turbulence and dense meteorites, as well as the setting of players harming each other, increase the enjoyment of the game.
Moreover, the schedule is relatively short, with each match lasting five minutes, which will not affect the overall situation of the auction.
The waiter clicked on the screen in front of him and introduced them one by one. "Here is the information of each contestant, including footage of their previous competitions, aircraft configuration, and driving characteristics."
Several people chattered and discussed, conducting a detailed analysis of the players' skills and usual styles, trying to select the dark horse in their minds.
Some people had already started placing bets impatiently, and while they were hesitating, several matches had already taken place.
"Hey, Mingtao, your customers are all here, why don't you place your bets?"
Xiang Huang walked towards them swayingly, his nostrils slightly raised and his eyes looking down at them.
He had been observing them for a long time, and he didn't know where the poverty came from, but he still couldn't bear to place a bet after watching them for so long.
Look at the boy standing in the middle. He looks decent, but he is wearing a shabby blue suit. He is obviously extremely jealous, but he just refuses to place a bet. The more I look at him, the more I think he is poor.
If Young Master Huo knew that he was secretly complaining like this, he might even pick up the energy stone and smash it on his face.
Young Master Huo has been scolded in countless ways, but the only things he has never been scolded for are being poor and unsophisticated!
Wang Mingtao rolled his eyes at Huang and pointed rudely to the side, "Your stage is over there."
"Come on, waiter, place a bet for me, one hundred thousand star coins, on the next contestant number five, Zi Yanyue." Xiang Huang ignored him and lazily threw the black card to the waiter.
The waiter took it with a smile. He had seen a lot of big scenes here, so he swiped the card politely and calmly.
Yun Mo had been watching for quite a while. Qin Mu had always nicknamed her the Yellow Springs Driver, so driving a hover car or a flying vehicle did not seem to be her area of expertise. The possibility of her winning by relying on her professional judgment was very small.
Through divination? Past experience told her that small bets can bring joy, but big bets can lead to unpredictable consequences.
Yun Mo thought for a while and transferred her money to Lin Fancheng, "Please help me place the bet!"
"Ah?" Lin Fancheng looked around with a silly look on his face, his single eyelids blinking, and he looked a little confused.
He pointed at his nose in disbelief, "Me?"
Yun Mo nodded affirmatively, "You are very radiant today, and your fortune is very good."
Lin Fancheng was so delighted by these words that he wanted to start betting immediately without even having time to see how much money Yun Mo had transferred to him.
"How much do you want to bet?" Lin Fancheng asked excitedly.
"All in!" Yun Mo waved his hand generously.
Xiang Huang heard a few words and couldn't help but look sideways. This girl is quite generous.
"Ding..." The sound of swiping a card was heard. Lin Fancheng looked down and almost spit out tears.
Damn, only 800 yuan, and he still wants to play all-in with this. Mr. Yun can really act cool without batting an eye.
