Chapter 108
Although the most important event on Planet X29 is the auction in three days, there are also some small venues worth visiting before that.
Since everyone is here, Xia Yan took his bodyguards to wander around. If he saw something he liked, he could buy it without looking at the price. Since it was the eve of the auction, the planet was full of people.
His actions were inevitably photographed by tourists and posted online.
[Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu. My wife is so beautiful today. I’m sucking like crazy.]
[My stupid boss made me work overtime again and deducted my vacation time, so I can’t travel to the gem country. It’s so annoying! ! !]
[I quickly saved all the pictures and waited for the OP to be reconciled by the Xia family’s public relations.]
[Why are you still blocking the account? It’s been several days. ]
[Because something happened at the Central Military Academy again! I heard that Xia Yan's roommate fainted last night and was sent to the hospital early this morning. ]
[? ? ? What does this have to do with my wife? ]

Netizen: [……] So angry!!!
Obviously the biggest storm has passed, why is the control of Xia Yan's information more stringent? And the very few people with a keen sense of smell found that it was not Xia Yan who was strictly controlled, but... his roommate who fainted - Ludwig.
Xia Yan was just an incidental member.
What secret is there?
Xia Yan saw the news about Ludwig's fainting in the class group, and he was a little strange. After all, the physical fitness of S-level warriors is absolutely strong. Even if they have a cold and fever, they will not faint, right?
But soon, his attention was diverted by the mecha master D, and he had no time to pay attention to the protagonist's little things.
This mysterious mecha master is very, very, very strange!!!
D lives in the Mica Suite on the 65th floor of the Xika Hotel. The two of them are only one floor apart and occasionally meet in the elevator. Xia Yan follows his character setting, even when he is trying to flirt with people, he speaks arrogantly and presumptuously.
Who knew that D was not angry at all, but talked to him very patiently.
Xia Yan: "?"
The topic of the two people always inadvertently turned to love. Xia Yan always maintained a single character to the outside world, and then D would start to get angry for no reason and speak in a weird tone.
Xia Yan: "???"
I don't understand it at all!!!
In this weird atmosphere, the most important auction is finally here!
*
As the most important traffic-attracting activity in the Gem Country every year, the auction covers a large area. The cheap public seats below can accommodate 100,000 tourists. The second floor is some small private rooms, which ordinary people can afford with a little effort, but starting from the third floor, the price starts to soar.
The higher the floor, the larger the private room, the better the service, and the more expensive the price.
Every year, there are many popular stars, noble ladies, and border major generals who come to participate in the auction... The star master of the Gem Country is a politician who is good at calculating, and naturally he is not willing to give up this good opportunity for publicity.
Therefore, every year at the auction, he will arrange a live broadcast of the entire auction, and if the guests want to go to the private room, they need to walk the red carpet themselves.
Xia Yan was silent for a moment: [Wasn't he put in a sack?]
System: [Probably because... for most people, being popular on live broadcasts is a good thing.] Even if they didn't like this process, everyone thought it would only take a minute or two, so they could just bear with it. There was no need to offend the owner of the planet for such a small matter.
Xia Yan: [...]
As everyone was chatting, the edge of the red carpet was faintly visible in front of them.
Xia Yan lowered his head and adjusted his diamond cuffs to make sure there was not a single wrinkle on his clothes. After the bodyguard opened the car door, he raised his legs and walked onto the red carpet.
Since he had been a star in the first world, the experience of walking on the red carpet had long been engraved in his bones.
He ignored the drones shooting around him, held his chin high, looked indifferent and arrogant, and a flawless and delicate face appeared on the big screen.
For a moment, both the tourists on site and the audience watching the live broadcast were stunned for a moment.
Wait! Who is this?
Look at the subtitles typed by the artificial intelligence... Xia Yan Gardner.
Huh??? Xia Yan?
[Fuck!!!]
[Why did the Carter family invite a celebrity to endorse the product? Just let their grandson come. I guarantee that the products will be sold out.]
[My wife is so beautiful today. The video released by the star master this time will be recorded on the official website of Planet X29. Finally, we don’t have to worry about the harmony of the Xia family.]
[...Before, a group of people were praising Xia Yan like crazy. I thought they were water soldiers. Now... Wife, I was wrong. Let me do the praising. I am a college student majoring in journalism. I can write articles.]
[Crazy screenshots ah ... 】
…
… …
Xia Yan had been exposed on the Internet before, but thanks to the powerful public relations team of the Xia family, it was quickly deleted, so that the photos were only circulated in a small range.
Most people just listened for fun, thinking that it was just his brainless fans bragging.
Until now, when they saw him in person, most people looked at him in a trance, their fingers fell on the virtual keyboard for a long time but couldn't type a word, until the young man walked out of the red carpet, took the elevator, and disappeared, the barrage suddenly exploded. The
densely packed characters overlapped layer by layer, and the original appearance could not be seen.
Everyone was discussing him.
As for Grover, who was the next to walk the red carpet, no one cared. Even the ordinary people on the first floor were now looking up, trying to get another look at the young man with black hair and golden eyes, and completely ignoring the person on the big screen.
Grover: "..."
Humiliation! ! ! !
He smiled, but his palms were tightly clenched. On one hand, he was jealous and resentful of Xia Yan, and on the other hand, he was annoyed at why he didn't come earlier and step onto the red carpet and enter the room earlier, so that he wouldn't have to endure the neglect of everyone.
However, when he thought of the mysterious mecha master D, Grover's mood became much calmer.
No matter how tempting Xia Yan's face was, it couldn't change the fact that D hated him.
As long as he seizes the opportunity and bids for the ultimate mecha blueprint, and makes D feel his sincerity and join his team, relying on his ability, the throne will definitely belong to him!!!
Grover thought ambitiously.
However... when the auction started, he realized how naive his idea was!!!
Question: Who is the richest man in the empire?
Answer: Edward Carter. Lina Carter's father and Xia Yan Gardner's grandfather.
Although the Grover family is rich and powerful, how can they compare with Xia Yan, who is supported by two powerful families at the same time?
Ten million statues, buy!
One hundred million gems, buy!
Five hundred million design drawings, buy, buy, buy!!!
Grover: "..." Haha, the world is destroyed.
Netizens: "..."
As the auction was live-broadcasted, netizens stared blankly at Xia Yan, who had monopolized half of the auction, as if this was not a high-end auction house, but an ordinary offline mall.
[Poor as I am, I am not qualified to call him wife. ]
[There are so many rich people in the world, why can't there be one more of me. ]
[Open up the situation, wife, hungry for food, I am good. ]
[Hungry, food. ]
……
…………
A group of people begging for food at the same time, and the main thing is that a man is hugging his wife's thigh.
Grover: "..." This group of shameless guys!!!
Ian looked at the group of people talking nonsense in the barrage, and frowned subconsciously. Are all the people in the empire so unruly? Why didn't the administrator block them?
*
Night falls.
The auction that lasted all day ended, and the distinguished guests were invited by the planet owner to attend the dinner. As for the food they auctioned, it was temporarily kept by the planet owner and returned to the owner when they left.
"The fifth one... was a fraud..."
"... and soon came back crying..."
The two young ladies were head to head, with a pair of gossipy eyes under their exquisite makeup. They looked in a certain direction from time to time, counting the number of people with their fingers.
Not far away, a tall young man was holding a wine glass in one hand, with a straight back, like a green bamboo standing proudly and aloof. Although there were a group of people around him, his golden pupils could not accommodate anyone.
Xia Yan's short trip to the gemstone town for a few days made countless people crazy and fascinated by him.
He is like a leopard with bright fur. Although they know the danger, many people are still bewitched by him and give up their neutrality to stand in the same camp with him.
Everyone wants to be treated specially by him.
Therefore, they don't hesitate to resort to cheap tricks.
A 15 or 16-year-old boy used his thin body to squeeze into the first layer of the crowd. He opened his mouth to chat several times, but was deliberately interrupted by the people around him.
The boy's face was flushed and he stared at the group of people unhappily.
Everyone pretended not to see it.
They couldn't let him really attract the attention of the young man.
The boy gritted his teeth secretly, his eyes rolled around, and three seconds later, he aimed at the opportunity, and with a "ouch", he pretended to fall into the arms of the young man.
The warm embrace he expected did not come. He only felt his arms tighten and his body was pulled over by a huge force. The huge pain made him close his eyes subconsciously.
A familiar yet unfamiliar face came into view.
The mysterious mecha master D.
Before he could figure out the situation, he was thrown away by D, like throwing away a piece of garbage. Fortunately, the crowd was dense and the boy was blocked by someone and did not fall to the ground in shame.
"You-"
"Get out if you can't stand steadily."
D's voice was extremely cold, as cold as an iceberg. He shivered involuntarily. The young master who had been spoiled since childhood looked at the young man aggrievedly, hoping that he could say a word for him.
But when he raised his head, his eyes collided with the golden pupils, and a huge chill and shame swept over his body in an instant.
No!
Nothing!
Although he didn't expect that the low-quality scam would make the other person fall in love with him, it could at least attract his attention a little, right? Who would have thought... he really didn't care? He
didn't even have the most basic social comfort.
The boy was young and wanted to save face, so he held back his tears and ran out with his head down.
Xia Yan was full of confusion: [People today are so weird, why do they all want to bump into me.] It's not time for him to go offline yet, so he won't be assassinated.
[I don't know either.] The system reminded, [Host, be careful.]
[Okay. 】
"What are you daydreaming about?" "
?" Xia Yan came back to his senses from the conversation with the system, "D? What do you want to talk to me about?"
Ian saw Xia Yan auctioning his mecha blueprints, and knew that his talent was liked by his lover. He was very happy in his heart, but he had to pretend to be reserved on the surface: "It's no big deal, but the design of the blueprints is a bit complicated. If your team has any questions, you can always ask me."
Xia Yan: "..."
What's the use of design drawings if they are not the protagonists?
He muttered in his heart, but his face did not show any sign. He still had that cold and arrogant look, nodded casually, and looked like he didn't take D seriously at all.
Ian... Ian has adapted to the contrast between him before and after.
Enjoying her boyfriend's indifference and disdain during the day; enjoying his tenderness and caring at night... Isn't this another kind of... ahem... interest?
One ignores everything around, while the other is immersed in the love in his own mind.
Suddenly, there was an awkward silence around.
The people around looked at each other and whispered: [D is a genius, do you want to comfort him? ]
[... Will Xia Yan be angry? ]
[Possibly. ]
[……]
[……]
No one wanted Xia Yan to dislike them, so they kept silent and pretended nothing happened.
Grover had been secretly paying attention to Xia Yan. Seeing that he had offended D, he was delighted and strode over and raised his voice, "Mr. D, it's a pity that I didn't buy your drawings."
Ian: "???" Where did this annoying guy come from?
