Chapter 164: Fishing at the Exhibition As
soon as the limited edition blind box displayed online by Ernis came out, the atmosphere at the offline counter was extremely hot.
Everyone began to fantasize: Since the hidden editions are all fish fans, why can't I be the next lucky fish fan?
However, after the purchase limit was set for this time, each person can only draw five boxes at a time, which allows the fans queuing behind to experience the joy of drawing a spiritual weapon blind box.
"What a coincidence, you and your friend just got the last set of blind boxes! Pay over there."
Even after Yu Mian pulled Huo Ting to line up together, he just squatted on the last two sets of ten blind boxes.
"Wow, thank you!"
After Yu Mian took the blind box and thanked him seriously, he looked at everyone in the audience who were digging for treasures in various postures, and wanted to find a place to try it.
Although Shax's editors will definitely send me a set of ornaments, it is still the most fun to draw blind boxes by yourself.
The unknown happiness is infinite.
There were many people opening blind boxes live on the scene, and the popularity was quite high. After all, "The Vast Immortal Path" is a recent hot work, and any tag with it will be very popular.
"Five for you, five for me."
Yu Mian found a table and gave five to Huo Ting fairly and justly, and kept five for himself.
However, Huo Ting had just taken the blind box in his hand and instinctively wanted to cover the box with his mental power, but was interrupted by Yu Mian the next second: "You can't cheat with mental power."
"Is there a special setting?"
Huo Ting, whose little move was discovered, naturally lowered his eyes and looked at the small box in his hand. He didn't expect that the world had considered it very carefully.
The box seemed to have been processed. While the weight was consistent, the mental power detection was also shielded. It was indeed made into a blind box to the greatest extent.
"Of course, what if you ask a guy like you who has awakened mental power to sweep the blind box, isn't it cheating directly?"
Yu Mian condemned Huo Ting's attempt to "take shortcuts" and asked this guy to dismantle and dig the soil honestly.
"Hahaha, actually I just found out that this blind box can't be detected by mental power, so the universe is still very thoughtful here."
A strong fish fan who was digging nearby also explained with a smile after hearing the movement here.
Although he and Yu Mian looked at each other and found that they were both dressed very seriously, they looked at each other strangely.
Omyers, who goes by the pen name "Star Sea Medal", also came to see the ink painting exhibition of "The Vast Immortal Path" offline after finishing his manuscript today.
At the beginning, an interstellar criminal investigation novel "Star Sea Justice" made Omyers gain a large number of military fans, and was once thought by everyone to be a retired military elder of the Federation Star. It was not
until he participated in the offline activities of the universe that he discovered that Omyers was not a retired soldier, but a star pirate who had turned over a new leaf. This added fuel to the popularity of "Star Ocean Justice". For
a time, he became a benchmark for a prodigal son who turned back to work. Who would have thought that Mr. Yutangmian's novel could have such magic?
Omyers is also very satisfied with his current life. After writing daily updates to support himself, he can go out and do activities. He no longer has to worry about being caught on the run.
Despite this, Omyers couldn't help but look at Huo Ting a few more times.
He instinctively felt that the aura of this guy made him very uncomfortable, and it was easy to recall many unpleasant memories when he was a star pirate wandering the universe.
So before Yu Mian tried to see Omyrs with a bit of suspicion, Omyrs suddenly restored his cold and tough face, turned around and refused to look at him.
"This man seems a little strange."
"Yes."
Yu Mian whispered to Huo Ting, and Huo Ting also frowned slightly and agreed with this idea.
If I am not mistaken, there is a long scar under the other party's mask, and his figure and temperament do not look like an ordinary resident.
But the public security management of Central Star has always been very good, and it is impossible for a fugitive to appear so ostentatiously.
In addition, the scene was indeed very lively, and Yu Mian's attention was quickly diverted from Omyrs, because this wave of blind box buyers soon opened various spiritual artifacts one after another.
Everyone at the scene was also exclaiming, but it was a pity that no one had won the hidden model.
Despite this, some people were lucky enough to win the rare "Bronze Nine-legged Tripod". Although it is not as good as the hidden version, the transaction price in the second-hand market is also very high. Many people are looking to buy this blind box magic treasure.
Some people on the scene were broadcasting live with a light computer, and they all took pictures and interviewed the pink jade tripod in the hands of this lucky fish fan.
"Of course I am very happy. This is the second blind box I opened, and the story book next to it is also very interesting. The tripod is a symbol of abundance in the ancient Chinese culture of Blue Star... Hey! Someone snatched my blind box!"
However, before this young man who looked like an office worker finished speaking, he found in disbelief that a man in black flew past him and snatched the blind box in his hand.
"Fuck, why is there someone else grabbing the blind box?"
"Hurry up, stop him——"
The scene suddenly became noisy.
"Someone else is grabbing the blind box?"
Yu Mian was almost in disbelief.
While Huo Ting habitually held the other person down, he unexpectedly discovered that the man who seemed to have a bit of banditry in his temperament actually helped catch the guy who stole the blind box with a sense of justice.
"It hurts, let go, I'll give it back to you!!"
The black-clad guy who was firmly caught by the joint forces saw that there was no hope of escape, so he immediately threw the blind box out, but was caught by Omyers and returned to the office worker.
It turns out that the guy in black clothes is a scalper. He lost money today because he failed to draw the limited edition. Then he saw that the blind box he gave up was actually opened with a rare edition. He immediately acted on impulse.
Unexpectedly, he was held down and sent to the security office so quickly.
Everyone in the audience held the blind box in their hands tightly and condemned the abominable scalper.
As for Omyers, who returned the blind box in person, he also became the focus of the audience.
"And are you... Mr. Xinghai Medal?"
Soon, a reader who is also a fan of Xinghai Medal looked at Omyers and asked in a low voice with hesitation.
"Uh, yes, yes."
Omiers' sense of justice ended, and then he realized that he seemed to be exposed. He immediately responded at a loss, holding his head.
"Wow, it's worth coming offline today! Protect Mr. Omiers, the hero of Mr. Yutangmian's new book!"
"Can I take a photo and sign it? Every time you interact with Mr. Yutangmian on Xingbo, it's so fun, hahaha."
Because Yu Mian and Omiers have a good relationship, many Yu fans are actually following Omiers' books, and the atmosphere on the scene is even more joyful.
"No, wait, someone just caught the thief with me!"
Omiers seems to be arrogant and carefree online, but he was frightened when he was surrounded by so many people offline. For a while, he looked around and tried to find Huo Ting just now.
"It turned out to be Omyers. This guy has really turned over a new leaf. It will be fun if he is exposed now."
Unfortunately, Yu Mian had already dragged Huo Ting to the corner.
After all, if I were discovered here today, it might not be a question of whether I could finish the exhibition, but whether I could leave the scene.
The density of fish fans at the Frakton Gallery, coupled with the special limited-time figurine counter, is surprisingly high.
There are quite a few fish fans who came to visit the scene wearing the same COS ancient costumes as in the book.
Moreover, the problem of the blind box being robbed was solved, and the appearance of Omyers helped divert the attention of myself and Huo Ting, which was even more perfect.
Yu Mian watched all this with a smile.
"So it's that person."
"You have an impression too?"
Huo Ting did have an impression of Yu Mian's famous readers.
Especially Omyers, the former star thief, because of his connection with the military academy students, Secretary Hals was curious and read the related gossip.
"Well, according to Hals, many star thieves have a literary dream because of this and are considering changing careers."
"Hahaha, then Teacher Omyers is really a benchmark in the industry."
Yu Mian couldn't help laughing after hearing the internal data.
Although it's not a bad thing for a star thief to have a literary dream, at least he is willing to find a normal job.
So while it was lively there, Yu Mian seriously urged Huo Ting to open the blind box together.
Huo Ting opened five blind boxes of different styles. After digging them out of the soil, there was not a single hidden model, not even the popular ones.
"Your luck must be a little bit better, maybe you can succeed if you open another one!"
After being seriously commented by Yu Mian, Huo Ting paused slightly, and suddenly understood why blind boxes are so popular.
Because of the uncertainty that the next one may create a miracle, it is indeed very easy to get carried away.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm lucky and can help us get back!"
Yu Mian was satisfied after reading Huo Ting's five, and then he started to open his own.
As a result, he opened four in a row, and they were all ordinary models.
No way, no way, my luck is worse than Huo Ting! ?
After all, he is the biological father of the author of "The Vast Immortal Path", and this is the result of personally drawing a blind box?
Yu Mian's eyes widened slightly under the brim of his hat, and he looked at the last blind box in his hand unwillingly.
"Maybe the last one will have a miracle."
Huo Ting responded with a low laugh.
"Of course, the last one will have a miracle."
His luck has always been super good.
After Yu Mian closed his eyes and prayed for a few sentences, he devoutly opened the blind box again and used tools to clean off the dirt on it bit by bit.
As the blind box ornaments inside gradually revealed their prototypes, some people around couldn't help but look here curiously, wanting to know what kind of spiritual weapon someone had opened.
"This white marble-like material seems to have never been seen before."
"Really?"
Yu Mian was cleaning the dirt with great interest, and the speed was getting faster and faster. As a result, when everything was finally cleaned up, the Nameless Sword suddenly appeared in front of Yu Mian's desk!
"Fuck, a super hidden model - Nameless Sword!"
Before Yu Mian could react, the fans who were watching quietly on the side had already screamed.
You know, this is not a matter of luck, in a sense, it is a direct fortune.
With the launch of the "Hao Han Xian Tu" blind box figurine event, the prices of some popular spiritual weapon ornaments have soared, and the prices of the two hidden models are even more expensive.
Rich fans like Megaret, who became famous for collecting the physical book "Reborn Soldier King", directly stated on Xingbo: As long as someone draws it, they are willing to buy it at a high price, no limit on the quantity.
It's just that there are very few people who have won the lottery at present, and those who have won may not be willing to sell it.
Take Ernes for example. Even if he went bankrupt, he might not be willing to let even a little bit of the treasures he collected in his study flow out.
"Oh my god, why aren't you excited at all!? Are you a fake fan? Do you know how precious this is!"
The fans around him who were a hundred times more excited than Yu Mian were almost asking him if he was a real fan.
"Uh..."
Yu Mian looked at the burning eyes of the audience looking at him, and the camera of the live broadcast that quickly swooped in, and finally realized that something was wrong.
He had been laughing at Omyers for being exposed and unable to escape, but he never expected that retribution would come so quickly.
"Can you show me the Lingbao action figure in your hand? The two hidden versions mentioned by Huanyu can interact with special effects."
After a fan asked politely, even the staff at the counter looked curiously at the hidden version of the nameless sword in Yu Mian's hand.
Although some people took a look at Yu Mian wearing a mask and a hat, they always felt that he looked familiar.
At this point, turning around and running seemed even more weird. Yu Mian could only bite the bullet and hope that no one would notice that he was wrong and get away with it.
But Yu Mian obviously underestimated the appeal of the hidden version to everyone.
Hearing that the hidden version was opened in the limited-time counter of the gallery, more and more fans came to watch, and the number of people in the live broadcast room suddenly increased.
As Yu Mian pressed the interactive button on the nameless sword, the fourteen holographic moves of the sword and shadow were displayed coolly along with the sword body, and everyone in the audience exclaimed.
"Wow--"
Because in the last picture, it was a picture of the ink-and-wash figure Qi Hanzhou dancing with a sword in an extraordinary and handsome manner. The next second, he grabbed Lin Shuyi's palm and the two of them flew away with swords and disappeared into light spots in the air.
The audience, who were still not satisfied, was silent for a few seconds, and the atmosphere exploded instantly:
"Universe, I really want this hidden version!"
"Will you offer it? If you do, I'm willing to take it for 30,000 star coins."
"I'll pay 50,000!!"
If someone hadn't just been caught stealing the hand-made model, I'm afraid many people would really be so excited that they would spend money to grab the hand-made model at this moment.
In the online live broadcast room where the hidden version was released, someone noticed something was wrong faster.
[Although, does anyone feel that this combination is super familiar? It is very similar to the combination of Mr. Fish Soup Noodle and his friends in the previous haunted house...]
[The location is still the Frakton Gallery? I seem to understand, Mr. Fish Soup Noodle also went to the exhibition, right?]
[Shh, don't say anything, I'm going out to catch fish now!]
The rapidly refreshing live broadcast room bullet screen quickly made countless people react.
Especially the fan on the live broadcast screen, his head raised and lowered dozens of times, and finally stared at Yu Mian in disbelief.
"Fish, fish soup noodle teacher——?"
Yu Mian, who had almost managed to escape, said:...
"Run!"
The next second he grabbed Huo Ting and ran away.
"Fish soup noodle teacher? That was the fish soup noodle teacher just now!"
Omyrs was stunned looking at the running figure, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be madly upset or chase after him.
Help, how long have I been looking forward to meeting the fish soup noodle teacher offline, but I just passed him by? Or I took the initiative to turn my head away coldly.
And if I think about it this way, that friend is obviously the legion commander of the Huo family, so I feel uncomfortable all over!
This gave Omyrs an awkward feeling, just like his favorite strawberry cake actually contains the coriander filling that he hates the most.
Although a few minutes later, the "fishing incident" that caused a sensation in the Frakton Gallery finally came to an end with the joint control of the gallery staff and security.
"Mr. Fish Noodle Soup? Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to the exhibition today? We could have cleared the area for you and Admiral Huo Ting to visit together!"
Andu, who had rushed over after hearing the news, looked at Yu Mian, who was drinking water in shock.
"Clearing the area seems a bit unnecessary. If the hidden model hadn't been dismantled, the visit would have ended."
Yu Mian sighed deeply and waved his hand. He was not very enthusiastic about clearing the area.
After all, there were many fans who couldn't get tickets on StarNet. If she had to let An clear the venue for a while in order to see the exhibition, Yu Mian would rather stay at home and not cause trouble for everyone.
"Well, but I didn't expect to meet you for the first time under such circumstances. You are so different from online."
Although An, who was about to speak, stuttered when he looked at each other
, it was a completely different feeling to meet a real person in the live broadcast room and offline. I was a little afraid to speak.
An swore that he had never seen too many beauties since he was a child, but the impact of the fish soup noodle teacher was too different.
"Well, since we are here, how about visiting the second floor? The collections on the second floor have not been open to the public yet."
"Of course."
Seeing An who was a little at a loss, Yu Mian laughed instead, thinking that he really met some old friends on this trip.
Teacher Omils has a bit of a tough vibe, and An himself really has the temperament of an artist.
"My father actually knew Admiral Huo Ting's grandfather, and they talked about fishing together in the past."
An couldn't help but find a topic to talk about while looking at Huo Ting along the way.
It was indeed unexpected that two distinguished guests would come to the gallery at the same time today.
"Grandfather really has always liked fishing."
Huo Ting also responded after hearing this, after all, it can be seen that Yu Mian and this An have always had a good reader relationship.
"Haha, we have a very mysterious seaside painting on the second floor, but it has never been open to the public. This time, you and Mr. Fish Soup Noodles can have a glimpse of it."
An found that Huo Ting's personality seemed to be different from the rumors, and he relaxed a little. He
didn't seem to be difficult to approach. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he could still see a different cold temperament, but his personality was not as high and mighty as some military figures that An had met before.
However, when An looked at Huo Ting, who was subconsciously pulled by Mr. Fish Soup Noodles to look at the painting, his expression was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong? The exhibits on the second floor seem to be more interesting."
Yu Mian didn't actually study painting art too deeply, but as an outsider, he could more or less perceive the level of the art.
"Yes, the collections on the second floor are relatively rare."
An, who was very nervous, quickly added a sentence as if his body had memorized it, and the assistant behind him also opened the door to the innermost exhibition hall.
"......!"
But this time it was Yu Mian who was surprised, because the giant oil painting was painted with the backs of a pair of mermaids, with gorgeous fish tails submerged in the water, and the light and shadow were shimmering and dreamy.
"How about this, this is a painting collection on the second floor that has never been announced to the public. Do you also want to ask if the mermaid in the painting really exists?"
Without waiting for Yu Mian to speak, An asked with a smile as if he had seen the reactions of visitors too many times.
"Well, I am indeed very curious, did the author of this painting draw it after seeing the mermaid with his own eyes?"
Even though Yu Mian himself is a mermaid, An's appetite was whetted.
Moreover, Yu Mian secretly felt that his mermaid short story illustration seemed to have been settled.
