"Sir, this is an underground auction. To avoid being recognized, all attendees must wear masks."
At the grand entrance of the opulent venue, a bodyguard in black bowed and handed a silver fox mask to a richly dressed young man.
The boy was only nineteen years old, thin and frail, leaning against a wheelchair, exuding an indescribable melancholy.
Only after he finished solving the toy Rubik's Cube did he slowly hand it to the bodyguard: "This is the Rubik's Cube you gave me for waiting."
After saying that, he took the mask, fastened it himself, and gestured to the bodyguard behind him to push him away.
The bodyguard who received the Rubik's Cube was stunned for a moment, then gasped sharply.
This is a high-order 12×12×12 Rubik's Cube, originally intended to entertain buyers waiting in line.
Everyone else just turned it around a couple of times and left, but this kid actually... casually picked it up and restored it?!
Si Jin ignored the bodyguard's astonishment and went to the private room on the second floor, where she settled into her wheelchair.
Long, slender, fair fingers tapped rhythmically on the railing, as if anticipating something good.
[My lord!] Xiao Yao chimed in at the opportune moment: [In the past, after swindling money from those scumbags, you would either buy a house or invest it. Why are you at this auction this time?]
It kept grumbling: "This place sells items for exorbitant prices, it's such a rip-off, hmph hmph hmph!"
Naturally, it's because there are good things here.
Si Jin held onto the railing with one hand, watching the items being auctioned off one by one. Finally, it was the last item's turn.
The host, microphone in hand, announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's auction's grand finale: a vampire specimen!"
As he spoke, a hole appeared in the ground, and a frozen crystal coffin slowly floated to the surface, inside which was a beautiful vampire.
The host continued to explain: "This vampire's real name is Song Linyuan. He is the empire's first vampire and has existed for 700 years. The last time he appeared, he was wearing this black trench coat."
"But a hundred years ago, the great biologist Dr. Qi Jing drained most of his blood and froze him here. Now he is a specimen."
"A perfectly preserved vampire specimen, starting bid 14 million."
Xiao Yao stared in disbelief at Song Linyuan, whose eyes were tightly closed inside the crystal coffin, her pupils gradually dilating.
[Little Heavenly Lord, you died right at the start... Oops!]
Before he could finish speaking, Hu Tou got a bump from Si Jin's punch.
He's not dead. The deity emphasized: He just needs some... stimulation.
Go and lock all the doors and ventilation ducts here.
【Oh, oh, oh.】 Although she didn't know why, Xiao Yao still covered her head and ran away.
Working is better than getting hammered QAQ
After logging out of the system, Si Jin decisively participated in the auction: "50 million."
Previously, the highest bid was 28 million, so Si Jin suddenly offered 50 million, leaving everyone bewildered.
The host, brandishing a gavel, shouted, "Mr. Number 27 has bid 50 million! Any higher bids? 50 million once, 50 million twice, 50 million..."
"50.01 million!"
Before the hammer was struck, someone shouted, abruptly interrupting the action.
Si Jin's gaze swept over, flipping through the original plot; those sitting there were probably descendants of Qi Jing.
It wasn't enough that he harmed A Yuan once, did he want to harm him a second time?
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the young man's eyes as he continued bidding: "Three hundred million."
This is all the money he tricked out of that scumbag boyfriend, and he's throwing it all away without a second thought.
This time, they dared not bid again.
His gaze was cold and ruthless, clearly indicating that he intended to steal it if he couldn't buy it.
But after Si Jin took the crystal coffin, she insisted on waving goodbye to him, as if afraid of not arousing his resentment.
"Damn it!" Qi Siyuan roared, "Notify the assassins to surround that paralyzed bastard with crippled legs!"
