Chapter 25
After the female ghost waitress left, she closed the door of the private room.
Mrs. Alice sat down gracefully on the sofa, crossed her legs, and glanced at Jiang Lele. "What are you standing there for? Why don't you come and help me change my slippers?"
Jiang Lele: “?”
She has no hands? How old is she and still needs help changing her shoes?
Thinking of this, Jiang Lele walked over, took a pair of slippers, threw them directly on the ground, and glanced at Mrs. Alice coldly, "Wear them yourself."
Mrs. Alice showed an expression of disbelief. "What did you say?"
Jiang Lele glanced at her speechlessly and didn't answer.
Mrs. Alice: “?”
"Dear guests, please pay attention. The face auction is about to begin!" The broadcast voice that spread throughout the venue suddenly sounded, interrupting Mrs. Alice's attention.
Mrs. Alice snorted coldly, bent down, picked up her slippers and put them on.
"I'll settle the score with you after I finish the auction!"
After saying that, Mrs. Alice glanced at the mask on Jiang Lele's face with disdain, "Why do you wear such an ugly mask? It's so ugly, it's simply poisoning my eyes."
Jiang Lele continued not to reply.
Mrs. Alice complained a lot, but it was like talking to a cow.
Until the face auction officially begins.
Mrs. Alice's attention was instantly focused on the auction table.
The lights shone right in the center of the auction table, illuminating the host, Dean Jia, who was standing on the stage. He was wearing a suit, a colorful bow tie, and a smile on his face.
"First of all, I'd like to welcome all of you to the Zhen Piaoliang Plastic Surgery Hospital. As you all know, our hospital has been engaged in facial transplant surgery for over a decade. Through our professional surgeries, we have successfully performed tens of thousands of facial transplants, leaving our clients with eternal youth."
"Thanks to all our distinguished guests for their trust, our Zhen Piaoliang Plastic Surgery Hospital has become what it is today."
"So, for today's auction, we've specially prepared two very fresh and fashionable faces for you, our distinguished guests. That's right, these two faces come from the group of players who just entered the dungeon in our hospital!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the big screen behind Dean Jia suddenly showed the facial models of Jiang Lele and Su Rui.
The model is a 3D stereoscopic version and can even be rotated, allowing VIPs to view it from a 360-degree angle.
"As we all know, players' faces are fresh human faces. Their skin is delicate and can stay fresh three to four times longer than a ghost face. If the face transplant surgery goes smoothly and the subsequent maintenance is proper, the player's face can remain unchanged for at least more than a year."
After Dean Jia's careful introduction, the distinguished guests in the audience became excited.
Mrs. Alice in the box was also staring at the big screen with great excitement, her eyes falling on the face model of Jiang Lele.
"Oh my god, this facial model of Jiang Lele is so perfect. I've been doing face transplants for so long, and this is the first time I've seen such a unique face."
Jiang Lele, whose name was suddenly called, said: "?"
Is her face so strange?
Soon, the auction officially began. The first item to be put up for auction was Su Rui's face.
"Player Su Rui's face, starting price 4 million. Each bid must be no less than 200,000. The auction begins."
"Four million eight hundred thousand!"
"Five million!"
Fierce bidding sounds continued to ring out.
Su Rui, who was among the group of ghosts, touched her face in surprise.
So her face is so valuable?
About two minutes later, Su Rui's face was sold for 8.2 million.
Dean Jia, who was standing backstage, couldn't help laughing, and the fat on his face trembled.
"This price far exceeded my expectations. It seems that the next Jiang Lele's face will be auctioned for at least 15 million."
After Su Rui’s face auction ended, it was soon Jiang Lele’s turn.
"Player Jiang Lele's face, starting price: 8 million. Each bid must be no less than 500,000. The auction begins."
As soon as he finished speaking, crazy bidding began in the audience.
"Ten million!"
In less than ten seconds, the price was directly inflated to 10 million.
Inside the box, Mrs. Alice, who had been waiting for a long time, sneered, raised her hand, pressed the electronic bidding device, and entered a price of 20 million.
The host on the auction stage was suddenly startled and shouted, "Mrs. Alice in the box bids 20 million!"
The scene became quiet.
The distinguished guests all frowned, obviously not wanting to compete with Mrs. Alice.
But Jiang Lele's face was so rare that everyone still wanted to fight for it. After hesitating for a moment, someone made another bid: "Twenty-one million."
Mrs. Alice smiled faintly and made her bid calmly.
The auctioneer exclaimed again, "Mrs. Alice has bid thirty million!"
This time, no one snatched it away.
So, Jiang Lele's face was bought by Mrs. Alice for 30 million.
Having successfully captured the face she wanted, Mrs. Alice felt much better. She glanced at Jiang Lele beside her and asked, "Are you jealous of me?"
Jiang Lele: “?”
What am I envious of? Are you envious of me for spending 30 million to buy my face and showing it off to me?
Mrs. Alice narrowed her eyes slightly. "I noticed that you seem to be very disdainful of me?"
Jiang Lele still didn't reply, and didn't even look at her.
This situation made Mrs. Alice, who had always been praised to the skies, very unhappy. It was the first time she had encountered such an inattentive waiter.
Mrs. Alice slammed the table. "Come here! Send me your account ID. I want to transfer a hundred thousand in tips to you!"
I thought she was going to get angry, and Jiang Lele was ready to take out her mace to fight.
100,000 tip???
Jiang Lele put away his desire to fight, walked over silently, and reported his account ID.
"Hmph, I thought you regarded money as dirt. What? Are you willing to talk to me now?" Mrs. Alice became more and more proud as she spoke, as if she had finally exposed Jiang Lele's true face.
However, although she expressed disdain, Mrs. Alice quickly transferred 100,000 points to Jiang Lele.
Jiang Lele checked his account and found that indeed, 100,000 points had been credited to his account.
It's incredible.
Is this the joy of being kept by a rich man?
Mrs. Alice glanced at Jiang Lele and stretched out her slender jade hand, "Hurry up, help me up."
Jiang Lele, who had just received the money, was naturally easy to talk to. She quickly bent down and helped Mrs. Alice up.
"Heh..." Mrs. Alice sneered, "You were bribed with just 100,000? If I transfer one million to you, wouldn't you..."
Mrs. Alice smiled faintly, not knowing what she was thinking about, but her expression looked very proud.
"Warning! Warning! According to reports from relevant personnel, players are suspected of sneaking into the auction venue. Please remain vigilant, distinguished guests! To protect your personal safety, please leave immediately through the security passage!"
As soon as the radio alarm sounded, the scene instantly became chaotic.
The ladies sitting in the audience screamed nervously: "Oh my God! How could a player sneak in? Get out! Get out!"
Mrs. Alice in the box was also panicked for a moment. She quickly turned around and called Jiang Lele, "Quickly escort me out!"
At this time, Jiang Lele had already taken off her mask, and a smile appeared on her face. "Are you sure you want me to escort you away?"
“Ah!!” Mrs. Alice covered her head and screamed, “You are… you are that player Jiang Lele!!”
The face that was just hanging on the auction screen suddenly appeared vividly in front of her. Mrs. Alice was suddenly so frightened that she fainted.
Jiang Lele found a rope and quickly tied Mrs. Alice's hands and feet.
Taking advantage of the chaos, she quietly carried Mrs. Alice and slipped out of the auction.
Not long after, Jiang Lele and the others gathered in the room where Director Zhen was tied up.
Yang Yufei took off her mask, wiped the sweat off her face, and sat down in the room. "I was so scared! I was running like crazy just now, afraid that someone would recognize me as a player."
"Has everyone heard any news?" Chu Yue'er was the first to recover and began to ask about the business.
Su Rui raised her hand weakly. "I heard that all face transplants are performed secretly at night while the patients are asleep. It is said that during the day, doctors give patients a sleeping pill that allows ordinary people to sleep through the night."
Yang Yufei continued, "Those ladies mentioned that, under normal circumstances, an ordinary NPC face can only last about three months. After that, the face will begin to age and decay, and a new one must be replaced immediately."
Jiang Lele remembered that there were relevant prompts when he first entered the copy.
There is no normal way to pass this copy, and players need to explore it on their own.
And now, her and Su Rui's faces have been favored by the wealthy lady, which means that if nothing unexpected happens, they will both undergo face-changing surgery soon.
Jiang Lele glanced at Mrs. Alice who had fainted on the ground.
The little melon, who was eating melon voraciously, was bubbling with excitement again: "Host, let me tell you, this is really crazy. This Mrs. Alice is actually Director Zhen's ex-girlfriend, don't you think it's outrageous?"
Jiang Lele: “?”
"Mrs. Alice wasn't called this before. She was Zhu Xiaohua. She was the campus beauty, incredibly beautiful and in great shape. Many wealthy men were courting her. But Zhu Xiaohua didn't like rich men. Instead, she despised their arrogance and rudeness. In the end, she ended up with Director Zhen."
"They were truly in love at the time. Although they lived in poverty, they were happy every day. That was until Zhu Xiaohua graduated from university and officially entered the entertainment industry."
"At the time, the entertainment industry was all about the pointy-chinned look favored by internet celebrities, but Zhu Xiaohua's appearance didn't fit the market trend, and directors kept turning her down. Later, to secure roles, Zhu Xiaohua had to follow the trend and get a pointy chin. She did land a few small supporting roles, but soon, round chins became popular again."
"Zhu Xiaohua had no choice but to continue with her plastic surgery. But every time she followed a trend, the market would change, and Zhu Xiaohua could never keep up. Meanwhile, the savings she had saved up were gradually depleted by the costs of plastic surgery and various maintenance expenses."
"At the time, Director Zhen hadn't turned evil yet; he was a serious young man. Seeing Zhu Xiaohua's anxiety about plastic surgery, he couldn't help it and had a quarrel with her. The two eventually broke up due to their different values and have had no contact since then."
After hearing all this, Director Zhen felt as if his heart was blocked.
Originally, he was very angry when he was tied up, and he kept swearing that he would kill these players when he got out.
But after hearing the tragic experiences of his sister and ex-girlfriend, Director Zhen began to feel remorseful.
What on earth is he doing?
Mrs. Alice didn't actually faint. She was just afraid that Jiang Lele would hurt her, so she pretended to faint in a hurry.
But she didn't expect that she would be tied up by Jiang Lele and suddenly hear these revelations.
She was originally angry, but at this moment her emotions suddenly became complicated.
It turned out that she hated the arrogance and rudeness of rich people the most, but she didn't know when it started, but she became the person she once hated the most.
Director Zhen and Alice, who were tied up, were both immersed in deep remorse.
Xiaogua added, "Oh, actually, those market trends of pointy chins, sometimes round chins, are deliberately spread by the marketing department of Zhen Piaoliang Plastic Surgery Hospital. Because only when market trends change regularly will the hospital's customers continue to come back for plastic surgery."
"Damn! This hospital is so unethical! In my opinion, this kind of hospital should not continue to exist." Yang Yufei slapped her thigh in anger.
Su Rui and Chu Yue'er's faces also turned ugly.
Jiang Lele turned his head hesitantly and looked at Yang Yufei who suddenly shouted.
Wait, why did Yang Yufei suddenly start to go crazy like the doctor before?
Jiang Lele finally realized something.
It seems like every time Xiaogua and she reveal something, someone will suddenly go crazy?
If I have time tonight, I will update!
