Shi Mengqi, standing to the side, felt a little embarrassed by his gaze. She pouted and pinched Wang Hao, telling him to be more careful on the street.
Wang Hao chuckled, and soon the two arrived at the address on the electronic invitation sent by Chi Tu. This building was a landmark in the wasteland and was very famous.
Those who can come here are all rich and powerful, but Wang Hao now has nearly ten million in assets because Chi Tu sent him a sum of money for emotional distress this morning.
As soon as the two entered, they were stopped by a security guard. Wang Hao took out the electronic invitation, and the guard carefully checked it before respectfully leading them inside.
The building was bustling with people, not too many, but not too few either. Led by the tall security guard, the two walked into a bright corridor and after about a hundred meters, they arrived at an elevator.
"Distinguished guests, please." The security guard respectfully ushered the two inside, then left, leaving the two alone to take the elevator downstairs.
Shi Mengqi's eyes were full of curiosity as she whispered, "I never expected that there would be such a hidden world under this landmark building. It's truly an eye-opening experience."
Wang Hao laughed and said, "There's a lot you don't know."
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator slowly came to a stop. Wang Hao looked up at the upper right corner, which showed that they were already on the sixth basement level. Then, the two of them stepped out of the elevator and were stopped by a security guard in a black suit.
"Please present your invitation, esteemed guest."
Wang Hao handed over the electronic invitation, somewhat surprised that the security measures here were so tight.
After verifying the information, the tall security guard respectfully said, "Please wait a moment, both of you. Please choose the mask you prefer before entering the venue."
Wang Hao knew this was to protect personal privacy, so the two of them casually picked out two animal masks and put them on their heads before being allowed to continue walking inside.
The two walked through a dimly lit corridor and came to a large door. After being notified to let them through, the security guards on both sides pushed open the door, and bright light immediately shone in.
Wang Hao and his companion stood at the entrance and looked inside. The auction venue was about a thousand square meters, with security guards standing on both sides and two-story private rooms that offered a panoramic view of the entire venue.
The seats below were also partitioned around them, which ensured personal privacy. At this time, the auction had not yet started, and people in the hall were talking quietly.
The two found a spot on the edge of the room and sat down. Then they opened the electronic partition so that outsiders couldn't see what was going on inside, but those inside could see out.
Furthermore, the price quote is delivered via electronic buttons, which is quite advanced.
"Whoosh."
Just as the two were feeling quite excited, a screen appeared on the partition in front of them, displaying the names of the thirty items to be auctioned.
Furthermore, there are three mystery items to be auctioned at the end, which will be announced after all the auctions have concluded.
Wang Hao carefully looked at the items on the list that were about to be auctioned. He didn't see anything like the ding (a type of ancient Chinese cauldron), but two items caught his attention.
One is the Mingyu Flower, which is the main ingredient for refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Its effect is the same as the Marrow Cleansing Liquid passed down in Tianxing. It can even allow Wang Hao and Shi Mengqi to undergo a marrow cleansing process in advance.
The other is the Heavenly Heart Grass, which is not very useful to Wang Hao at this stage, but it is still a spiritual herb and might be useful in the future. If possible, he should bid on both of them.
"I can only hope that one of those three mysterious items is what I need," Wang Hao muttered to himself. Then he said to Shi Mengqi, who was standing next to him like a curious child, "Just bid on anything you like. We have the money."
Shi Mengqi rolled her eyes at him, but the excitement in her eyes revealed her inner thrill.
However, in the private room above them were two familiar faces. One of them was Li Zhiheng, Wang Hao's "old acquaintance," who was no longer as spirited as he used to be.
He looked extremely dejected, with lifeless eyes and a hunched back. Although he was sitting on the sofa, it was clear that he had lost all his energy and spirit.
The other man, dressed in a white suit, was handsome and accompanied by beautiful women on both sides. He exuded a cold aura. He was Wu Xiu, the eldest son of the Wu family.
"Li Zhiheng, what's your opinion on what I told you before about accepting genetic and physical modifications?"
Wu Xiu leaned back on the sofa, accompanied by two beautiful bunny girls, a very pleasing sight.
However, Li Zhiheng remained unmoved. When he heard Wu Xiu ask the question again, he couldn't help but tremble, recalling the human experiments he had seen in Tianxing some time ago.
He would feel inexplicably afraid, which is normal, because that person's genes had been modified, his body had been altered beyond recognition, and his internal organs had been replaced with those of an animal.
At the same time, a nanochip was installed in his brain, which can control his central nervous system and even his behavior and consciousness can be artificially manipulated. The experiment went very smoothly at first.
This person's strength is close to that of a Xuan Realm martial artist. It should be noted that before the experiment, this test subject was just an ordinary person who had not even entered the realm of martial arts.
However, in the final stage of the experiment, in order to create the most perfect and powerful genetically modified human, the researchers actually injected the blood of the female nun from Shennongjia into it.
This action caused the experimental subject to completely lose control, and its strength underwent a qualitative leap, directly going berserk and causing quite a stir on Tianxing, resulting in the deaths of many people.
In the end, it was only through the intervention of an elder from the Tianxing Martial Arts Holy Land that the incident was suppressed. This matter was reported to the Chinese government, and the Institute of Origin Gene Structure was summoned for questioning by relevant departments.
Although the authorities have strictly prohibited any human experimentation, many conglomerates and research institutions still conduct it in secret. The Origin Gene Structure Research Institute is an example of this, as its experimental subjects have gone berserk.
They are now under strict supervision, but they are not giving up and are still looking for new test subjects.
Wu Xiu and the Wu family are dogs of the Li family of Tianxing, but they also want to break free from their constraints. However, on the surface, they must obey the Li family's wishes, so Wu Xiu set his sights on Li Zhiheng.
This person is weak-willed and easy to control. Moreover, the Li family also had the Wu family clear away the obstacles around Shi Mengqi. It just so happens that Li Zhiheng has a grudge against Wang Hao, so they wanted to use him as a tool to kill him.
"Brother Wu...let me think about it some more..." Li Zhiheng said with a pained expression. He had actually been abandoned by his family, and all of this was because of Wang Hao.
But he could never bring himself to accept the transformation because he was afraid of becoming a monster that was neither human nor ghost. However, if he didn't accept the transformation, he would never be able to take revenge.
Meanwhile, the auction below had reached a minor climax, with the price of the Moonflower already driven up to 150,000, and still rising.
Everyone knows the value of the Moonflower. Once you win the bid, you can find a specialized pharmaceutical institution, pay a deposit, and obtain the Marrow Cleansing Liquid.
Wang Hao was not in a hurry to make a bid. He was determined to get the Bright Moon Flower, and undergoing a pre-selective purification process would be of great benefit to him.
