Chapter 185 Auction
The lights were bright, and many burning torches were lit around the entire thorn bush. The flames ignited the wood particles in the air, and the air was mixed with the smell of charcoal fire.
"This mutant thorn is at least level seven and can actively protect its owner."
"H City is truly wealthy and powerful. I've seen it."
"This place is the true protective circle in the heart of H City, right? It has a prime location. The theme of Ye Chao's auction this time is 'captivity'. Is there any other intention?"
…
Amidst the discussion among the crowd, the thorns opened a passage.
All the fruit trees and osmanthus trees are hung with small neon bulbs, dotted with starlight, and the bright red carpet stretches forward, and the fragrance of fruit fills the air.
Everyone was intoxicated by the fruity aroma.
Not far away, Li Heng slowly walked down from a black stretched car, took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of sharp eyes.
He opened the car door and welcomed the woman in a white dress who got out of the car.
There were only three people from Xilin Base who came to participate in the auction.
Li Heng, the leader of the Xilin base Wang Jun and his cousin Wang Yueyi.
Wang Jun jumped off the motorcycle, his black leather jacket shaking a little. He looked at the gleaming thorns and smiled, "I heard that the owner of this place is your ex-girlfriend?"
Li Heng's expression remained unchanged. "She and I no longer have any contact."
"I can see that. However, since you have an old friendship, it will be easier. We can dig this powerful planting-type psychic back to the Xilin base, and then we can grow a large forest like this." Wang Jun said confidently, "She will be satisfied with the conditions I offer."
Although Li Heng frowned, he had some expectations in his heart.
Everyone entered the venue one after another.
The auction hall, which was converted from a warehouse, is fully equipped with all the facilities. There is a huge glass screen occupying an entire wall in the front. On the auction platform, the crystal box sparkles under the lights.
Luo Yunjin was sitting in one of the private rooms on the second floor.
She saw that the entire venue was full of people, there wasn't even enough space, some people just stood aside, it was quite lively.
Cat comic strips were projected onto the glass screen. These pictures were kindly provided by Luo Yunjin.
Simple lines of cats pass across the screen frame by frame, accompanied by the clear 360° surround sound of the guqin.
"Welcome everyone. This auction is hosted by Ye Chao Auction House. We will have 43 lots today." Yun Lailai walked up to the podium with a loud voice, and the scales of her fishtail skirt sparkled.
"Next, I will introduce the main guests of this venue."
"Ye Chao Town Commander Luo Yuanting, Xilin Base Leader Wang Jun, all members of the Meteor Team at Dongquan Base, and the Beimin Base Auction House."
Every time Yun Lailai finished a sentence, a beam of light on the stage would shine on the corresponding position in the audience.
Luo Yunjin drank milk tea and observed secretly.
It seems that all the people sitting in the private rooms on the second floor are sellers, and they all do not want to reveal their identities.

Tea and fruit are available in the private rooms here. Luo Yunjin also specially brewed milk tea and made some snow skin mooncakes, and asked Chen Yueliang to deliver them to each private room.
"Xiao Jin, the vendors in those three private rooms are either wearing black cloaks or masks, very mysterious." Chen Yueliang returned with a tray and muttered softly. "One of them smelled like Jin Bei, the stench of decaying zombies."
"We don't care about the guests' true identities, we just watch them with peace of mind." Luo Yunjin leaned back in the recliner, rubbing the fat little tabby cat with one hand.
The tabby cat wagged its tail and let out a comfortable purr from its throat.
The auction will officially begin soon.
After each auction item is placed in the crystal box, an enlarged image and introduction will appear on the large screen at the back.
The first item to be auctioned is a seventh-level fire crystal core.
The fiery red crystal core is surrounded by light red debris. Such a beautiful crystal core does not look like it was dug out from a zombie's brain at all. It is as dazzling as a crystal stone.
"This crystal core is being auctioned off for barter. Priority will be given to water or gold crystal cores of the same tier." Yun Lailai said in a serious tone, "Those interested in buying should bid as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone pressed the flash light on the seat.
"I will produce a water crystal core of the same level."
"Mr. Shi, number 38, please wait a moment." Yun Lailai dialed the number on the spot. After confirming several times, she nodded. "With the seller's consent, this crystal core is yours. Please go backstage after the auction to complete the transaction."
"Next is the second lot, a mutant Husky. This dog has power abilities, making it suitable for captive breeding and a must-have for guarding the house. The starting price is one third-level crystal core."
Soon people started bidding.
"Ten third-level crystal cores!"
"Twenty pieces!"
"A dog for a dog. A mutant Pomeranian for a mutant Husky. My Pomeranian has the ability to be a hairdresser. The extra hair can be used to make cotton fabrics."
Yun Lailai smiled politely, "Excuse me, Mr. Liu, number 74, this lot is open to bidders only."
"Five fourth-order crystal cores." Wang Jun pressed the bid button. "This dog is very cute. Cute things should be given to cute people. I heard that the owner of this place is a lovely person who loves stuffed animals very much, so I bought this dog as a gift."
The girl sitting in the booth looked down at the audience.
Under the light, the man's leather jacket was surprisingly shiny. He had a slicked-back hair and a rebellious expression. Sitting next to him were his acquaintances Li Heng and Wang Yueyi.
Wang Jun is the leader of the base, so naturally no one else would fight with him for a dog.
He successfully took a picture of the dog.
Luo Yunjin didn't buy it and did not show up or express his opinion throughout the whole process.
The little Husky trapped in the cage blinked its clever silver eyes, rubbed its claws on the iron cage, and howled.
"The third lot is a mutant green snake. This small green snake is extremely venomous, and the mutated form is even more toxic. The seller who captured this snake and his three teammates were bitten by it and died within the hour."
"It can help poison-type esper advance, and snake venom can also be used to develop medicine. The starting price is one fourth-level crystal core."
Luo Yunjin looked at the small snake in the cage. It was only as thick as a thumb, coiled around a dead branch, and spitting out its tongue.
The green snake seemed to notice her gaze and looked up at her, its red eyes looking extremely cold.
"This snake looks unusual and fierce," Luo Yunjin commented.
Chen Yueliang agreed with this. She used to work part-time in a pet shop and had seen many pet snakes. This willow leaf-colored snake looked cute, but was actually the most poisonous.
Poisonous substances have always been unpopular. There was only one poison-type mutant who won it with two fourth-level crystal cores at the scene, and no one else was vying for it.
Luo Yunjin saw the appearance of the psychic, an extremely thin woman with dry and yellow hair, dry and withered skin, and an aura of decay all over her body.
Just like a green snake, the man also noticed Luo Yunjin's gaze. Her eyes were very poisonous, like a sharp knife soaked in venom, which made people feel cold.
"Is that woman a resident of Ye Chao?" Luo Yunjin was very shy, but she did have a badge of the small town of Ye Chao on her chest.

It only took the tabby little three days to eat himself into a pig.
Luo Yunjin looked at the pile of blanket on the ground and rubbed its cat's head.
