In the afternoon, before it got dark, some people came over using summoning cards from Wen Bozhi's side, naturally out of curiosity, wanting to learn about the development of Azure Dragon Island.
When they arrived, they saw many people setting up stalls, but what caught their eye was something quite interesting.
There are all kinds of stalls: barbecue stalls, pancake stalls, snack stalls, skewers, braised meat stalls, fried skewers stalls, and toy stalls.
Smelling the fragrance in the air and feeling the lively atmosphere around them, they couldn't help but feel a sense of peace as if they were facing the end of the world.
Most of the people setting up stalls are construction workers who are off their shift today.
Given the lively atmosphere today, many people have set up stalls with the intention of doing business.
Even though there aren't many outsiders, the workers will come over to see what's going on when they finish work in the evening, and maybe they'll buy something.
Lin Hu naturally wanted to see what was going on, so he dragged Duan Linzhou out with him, planning to have a proper date.
The two walked among the rows of stalls, and some people who knew them would greet them and offer to give them a free skewer or something.
After going through the process, Lin Hu had a lot of food in his hands, and Duan Linzhou was no exception, carrying large and small bags for Lin Hu.
"It's so spicy! What kind of chili pepper is this?!"
"promise!"
Lin Hu was already in tears from the spiciness when a glass of lemonade was suddenly handed to him.
Lin Hu looked to the side following the small, fair hand holding the lemonade, and saw Liu Xu smiling at him while holding the lemonade, with Wen Mofei standing next to her frantically pounding ice.
Lin Hu reached out and took it, then drank several mouthfuls.
"Why are you setting up a stall here too?" Duan Linzhou asked, naturally taking the spicy skewers from Lin Hu's hand.
"I had nothing to do this afternoon, so I came out to earn some extra money."
Liu Xu said casually, then suddenly waved behind the two of them: "Xiao Xiao, this!"
Lin Hu turned around and saw Sun Xiaoxiao carrying a cardboard box. When she got closer, Lin Hu saw the lemons inside the box.
Only then did he realize that the cardboard box next to Wen Mofei was empty. "Looks like business is good!"
"Of course, I didn't expect it to be such a hot day. Luckily, Brother Lin grew lemons." Wen Mofei didn't look up and replied casually, his hands moving non-stop. His voice was somewhat strained from the effort of smashing the ice.
"Good luck, everyone. The auction is about to start, we'll be going now." Lin Hu said, glancing casually at the note on the ladder next to him.
He casually placed five level-one crystal cores on the table, then walked side by side with Duan Linzhou toward the building next door.
Entering through the passageway next to the building, the lights gradually dimmed, and the two found a private room on the second floor and went in.
The underground auction is a circular space, with a circular display stand in the very center, which is for exhibits and presenters.
The seating is arranged in tiers, with private booths overhead. The outermost wall of each booth is a floor-to-ceiling window, so you can't see inside from the outside, but you can clearly see outside from the front.
This is to make things easier for some big shots who don't want to reveal their identities.
Inside the private room, Lin Hu sat on a burgundy leather sofa, with the food he had just bought laid out on the rectangular glass coffee table in front of him.
He rested his elbows on his knees, bending over as he picked through the food on the table.
As the start time approached, people began to enter, almost right on time.
Lin Hu was on the second floor, watching the people coming and going below, when there was a knock on the door.
Duan Linzhou got up to open the door, and a waiter in a black uniform appeared.
It was arranged by Duan Bohai, so I hope it's done properly.
The waiter handed a booklet to Duan Linzhou and left, closing the door behind him. Duan Linzhou then returned to sit down by the lake.
Opening the booklet, I saw it contained a list of people attending the auction.
Duan Linzhou quickly scanned it over, and Lin Hu also leaned to the side to look.
"Is this Hong Fuqiu the one who copied my live stream before?" Lin Hu asked in confusion, his mouth full of something, making a muffled sound.
"It should be."
Duan Linzhou nodded and explained to Lin Hu, "The island master of Bright Island is his brother Hong Haoyue. Hong Haoyue didn't dare to come himself, so he sent Hong Fuqiu."
"Since he was afraid we had malicious intentions, why didn't he send someone else, but instead sent his brother?" Lin Hu asked疑惑地.
“We know him. He’s here for your snow lotus. If he sent someone else, we might deliberately make things difficult for them and refuse to let them have the snow lotus. Besides, he dared to send his brother, so he must have a backup plan.”
As Duan Linzhou spoke, he placed his hand on Lin Hu's lower back and gently pressed it with his palm.
"Welcome everyone to the first auction on Qinglong Island. I am your auctioneer, Ji Hang..."
Hearing the sounds coming from outside, Lin Hu turned his attention to them and saw a tall figure wearing a rabbit mask and a dark blue tuxedo speaking into a microphone.
Then he stepped aside, and the originally flat ground suddenly sank a few centimeters, then opened up to both sides, revealing a dark opening, from which a pillar covered with a black cloth slowly rose.
Without a doubt, there's a glass case inside, and the items for auction are inside.
"Now let's take a look at the first item!"
Ji Hang's voice was loud and clear, his tone piquing everyone's curiosity.
When the black cloth was lifted, a scroll lay quietly inside. Some people, seeing that it wasn't what Duan Bohai had posted in the chat area, reluctantly relaxed and leaned back in their seats.
Some people were still wondering what it was, but none of them asked, knowing that the auctioneer would explain.
Ji Hang then began to explain, "This is a low-level pet contract. Don't underestimate it just because it's low-level. It allows you to directly form a contract with a pet without needing the contractor's consent. This contract is more suitable for wood and lightning types."
