Arnold picked up a box on the table and examined it. After injecting a trace of his mental energy, he discovered that the space inside was only a cubic meter! It was not enough to accommodate a mecha! His face suddenly fell. He turned to look at Auckland and asked with suppressed anger, "Why is there only so much space inside?"
Auckland lowered his head slightly. "I'm sorry, Dad. This is my first time doing this, and I'm not very familiar with it. My mental strength isn't up to par, so I can only make it this big..."
Hearing this, Arnold's expression softened slightly. It was true that Ivan's mental strength was impaired. While the two boxes he had crafted weren't qualified mecha storage boxes, they could still be used to store a lot of things, so they still held some value. Ivan's inability to produce quality items was primarily due to insufficient mental strength.
Since Alvin was able to successfully make a mecha storage box, as long as he has enough mental strength, he will be able to produce qualified products sooner or later.
"Okay, I'll have someone get you some high-grade soothing and restorative agents. Take this time to get some rest."
"Yes, Father."
Arnold took the two boxes and found a patrolling pirate, handing them over to him. "Add them to this auction. Even though it's only one cubic meter, there should be plenty of people who want them."
"Yes, Mr. Arnold." The pirate was quite respectful to Arnold. After Arnold left, he curled his lips in disdain, contacted his captain through the communicator, and took the two boxes away.
Auckland, feeling relieved, locked the door, drank the nutrient solution with Hall, and started a new round of practice using the spirit stones in the storage necklace.
Three days later, Oakland finally "barely" produced a qualified mecha storage box, which made Arnold very happy. Not only did he agree to his request to go to the auction, he also gave him 100,000 federal coins so that he could buy anything he liked.
"Master Alvin, are you going to take this little guy with you too?" When Jason came to pick up Auckland, he found that he was still holding the Black Panther orc cub in his arms.
"Yes, he's still young. I'm afraid he'll be scared if he's alone." Oakland blinked and asked in confusion, "Isn't that possible?"
"According to the rules, I can only bring one person in, but he's so young..." Jason paused and said, "It shouldn't be a problem. Leave it to me when the time comes."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Jason drove Auckland to the auction house. On the way, Auckland discovered that there was a city on this planet. Many people were coming and going on the road, but judging from their clothes, most of them were pirates and others were mercenaries.
"Are there a lot of mercenaries here?" Oakland asked in surprise. According to federal law, the Dark Star Domain is an illegal organization that the federation expressly prohibits any force from having contact with. It is really strange to see so many mercenaries here.
"Yes, we have a lot of good stuff here. These mercenaries don't mind breaking federal laws to pan for gold." Jason didn't hide his feelings. "I used to be a mercenary myself. It was hard and tiring, and I spent a lot of time drifting in space. Money was hard to come by. Then, I ran into the Zerg and our captain died. I had no choice but to bring the rest of my brothers to this dark star region and later joined the Blood Moon Pirates."
Auckland nodded in understanding. No wonder he had seen him on the Capital Planet before...
"People like us who are not fugitives are actually quite welcome in the Dark Star Territory. Our identities are legal, and our optical computers can be connected to the Federation. We will regularly go to the nearest Federation colony to purchase some supplies, which will not arouse any suspicion from the Federation. If you want anything in the future, you can tell me. I will lead a team out every month and bring you something back."
"Okay, thank you."
The car stopped at the entrance of a club. After confirming Jason and Oakland's identities, the gatekeeper scanned them up and down with a scanner to confirm that they were not carrying any suspicious items. When the scanner reached Oakland's chest, it found an unidentified object. The gatekeeper immediately drew his energy gun and pointed it at Oakland. At the same time, two people rushed out from the corner, weapons drawn.
Suddenly the air seemed to freeze.
"Don't get excited, brothers! It's all a misunderstanding!" Jason immediately stood up and stood in front of Auckland.
"What is that thing!"
"That's an orc cub, the young master's younger brother..." Jason explained quickly, then gestured to Auckland, asking him to show them the cub in his arms.
Auckland immediately opened his collar slightly and raised his hands to show he was harmless. Then the mass on his chest moved, and a small, furry head emerged. Its beautiful blue eyes opened wide, and it looked at the people in front of it with a kind of naive curiosity. "Ouch?"
The voice is soft and cute, and looks particularly weak and harmless.
It really is a cub...
It was a false alarm.
"Jason, you should know the rules of the auction! You can only bring one person in!" This was an auction held by the Blood Moon Pirates. To prevent intentional disturbances or the intrusion of strangers, the leader of the Blood Moon Pirates had established a rule: all those wishing to participate must be led by a member of the Pirates, and only one person at a time. If a person brought in caused any trouble, the lead member would be held responsible. Of course, the guide would also receive a commission from the guests' spending.
I have to say that the leader of the Blood Moon Pirates is indeed resourceful. He can not only guarantee the proceeds of the auction and reduce the threat, but also ensure that his subordinates can make extra money. He is clear about rewards and punishments and uses both soft and hard tactics. No wonder the Blood Moon Pirates are so large.
"This young master is the son of Mr. Arnold. He has just arrived in the Dark Star Region a few days ago and is unfamiliar with the place. I am really worried about leaving such a small cub alone in a strange place. Look, this cub is still so young, it will definitely not cause any trouble." After Jason finished speaking to the guard, he quietly stuffed two bottles of high-quality nutrient solution into the man's hand.
The guard put the nutrient solution into his pocket, then took another look at the little 'black panther' before reluctantly agreeing to let them in. "Keep that little thing under control and don't cause any trouble."
"Okay, okay, definitely."
The two were able to enter smoothly.
The auction hall was pitch black. Several people were holding flashlights to show them the way. Jason led Auckland up the stairs according to their instructions and found an empty seat to sit down.
The auction hall is square, with the auction booth in the middle and surrounded by stepped steps on all four sides. People who come to participate in this auction will be seated randomly. The seats are all independent three-seater sofas, which allow guests and their leaders to sit very comfortably. There are partitions on both sides of the sofa, which can be regarded as retaining some privacy for the guests.
There is still more than half an hour before the auction starts, and there are still customers entering the venue in an endless stream. It seems that the business here is very hot.
"Our seat number is 68. If you have something you like, just press the button on the right to start the auction."
"OK, thanks."
Finally, the auction began.
A strikingly beautiful woman gracefully emerged from the passage. Her complexion was fair, and her long hair, which fell to her waist and swayed gently as she walked, adorned with a bright red, tight miniskirt that revealed her radiant white breasts and slender legs. Her figure was exquisitely curvaceous, and her walk exuded a charming air. Her entrance immediately drew cheers from the crowd.
Angel stood on the stage, showing a dazzling smile, then bowed slightly and said, "Hello everyone, I am Angel, the host of the auction, and welcome everyone."
When she bowed, the short skirt could hardly cover her plump upper body, and her round and full white rabbits were almost exposed.
Everyone stared at Angel intently, and Auckland couldn't help but take a few more glances. He was an old-fashioned guy from the world of cultivation, and it was the first time he had seen a woman dressed so... revealingly...
"Hiss..." Auckland suddenly felt a pain on the back of his hand and couldn't help but gasp. He looked down and saw that it was Hall who opened his mouth and bit him.
Those blue eyes seemed to be able to speak, accusing Auckland of despicable behavior.
"Ouch!" Don't look at what's inappropriate! Don't look at what's inappropriate!
Auckland had no choice but to quickly stroke the vegetarian tiger's fur and no longer dared to look at the woman in the middle of the stage.
"Now, let's start today's auction!" Angel said with a smile.
A large cage covered with a golden cloth was lifted up and placed in the center of the auction table.
"This is our number one auction item today, two fox beauties." Angel slowly lifted the cover on the cage, revealing the auction item inside. A pair of extremely beautiful and charming sisters were sitting naked on the ground hugging each other, barely covering their key parts. Their hair was a beautiful silver color, with snow-colored fox ears on their heads and a big furry tail behind them. Their skin was as smooth as water and their figures were well-proportioned. They were even more beautiful than Angel.
"Awooo!" Hall pounced forward and used his two little paws to cover Auckland's eyes, preventing him from looking at the stage.
Jason couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. "Haha, this little guy is jealous? How adorable! Could it be that he thinks of you as his wife?"
Auckland had a blank face and didn't answer... Isn't he the wife of this little guy?
"The starting price is 500,000 federal coins, and each bid will be increased by 50,000 federal coins."
Bids started coming in almost immediately, and the numbers on the LCD screen in the center of the auction table kept scrolling.
