    The second auction will start on time at 3pm.

    In previous years, the auction items in the second auction will never be better than the first auction, so in order to maintain the sense of mystery and enhance the interest, the second auction will not announce the list of auction items in advance. Therefore, there is no shortage of customers who bid for good auction items in front of them, but ran out of money and found that there were more items behind them.

    There are similar scenes every year.

    This also revealed an important message - the second auction was rarely attended by the real rich.

    But today is different. The bidders on the circular stair seat are looking at the suspended boxes and whispering, guessing why the big figures in those boxes have not left. Could it be that something good happened in this game? ?

    The nine-tailed fox cubs in the first game were already amazing, and there was something good in the second game?

    For a time, the crowd faintly boiled.

    The host is still the same one from before, with brilliant brilliance and witty words, and a few words will stir up the atmosphere of the scene.

    After several rounds of bidding, only the finale was left.

    In the loudspeaker, the host's voice was breathless, but he was even more excited than before: "The last auction item, you must have been looking forward to it for a long time."

    "Then I'll stop talking nonsense. The engine and drive of the Silver Falcon will start with 100,000 star coins."

    When the words fell, it was like water pouring into a frying pan, sparks splashing everywhere.

    Someone in the suspension box has already quoted the price: "150,000."

    "200,000." In another box, someone immediately added.

    "Twenty-five thousand."

    Originally still holding a fluke mentality, there was no bidding for anything, and those who wanted to compete with all the stars and coins could only die when they saw this.

    "It's 250,000 in a blink of an eye." Xiong Fangfang muttered to himself, feeling like a dream.

    When he accompanied Ruan Shiqing to the appraisal office, he only thought that the engine should be able to sell for a lot of money. How could he have imagined that it would be the current situation?

    Almost in the blink of an eye, the price soared to 250,000.

    Looking at Ruan Shiqing sideways, he saw that he was holding the cub in his arms, sitting firmly on the seat, and there was nothing unusual about his body, and no one could tell that he was actually the seller of "Silver Falcon".

    Xiong Fangfang took a deep breath, for fear that he would miss out and cause trouble to Ruan Shiqing.

    Auction prices are still climbing, but not as steeply as in the beginning. Many ordinary people who did not have enough stars and coins have withdrawn from the auction, leaving only a few big people in the box, clenching the price and bidding.

    "Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

    "Three hundred and sixty thousand!"

    "Three hundred and seventy thousand!"

    "Four hundred and fifty thousand!"

    The numbers on the big screen changed in turn, and finally stopped at 450,000 stars.

    Ten seconds after the countdown—

    "450,000, deal!" The host's voice carried a fierce vibrato, and today will be the pinnacle of her career.

    Xiong Fangfang also let out a sigh of relief and tried his best to grasp the armrest of the seat before he suppressed the excitement of wanting to jump up and cheer.

    Ruan Shiqing also lowered his head and pinched the cub's ears, and said in a low voice that no one else could hear: "We have money."

    Rong Heng raised his eyes and patted his hand perfunctorily with his paw.

    When he bought the "Silver Falcon" back, he spent a full 3.6 million star coins - this is still the discount price of the imperial prince.

    The engine and drive are sold separately, and they are worth at least one million.

    Now that it's sold for 450,000, this fool is still happy.

    whispering sound.

    Ruan Shiqing didn't know how much the "Silver Falcon" was originally worth, anyway, it was all for nothing. The 450,000 star coins have greatly exceeded his expectations, and the happy bubbles popped out from the bottom of his heart, which could not be seen by others, so he could only secretly share with the little brat.

    The feeling of losing money in the sky is so fucking happy.

    ...

    The auction ended successfully. The emotional music in the venue was replaced by a lyrical ditty. Everyone got up and left the venue one after another with an excited aftertaste.

    Ruan Shiqing knew very well the truth of not revealing money, so he quietly mixed in the crowd, ready to leave first, and then find an opportunity to return to get his money.

    Xiong Fangfang followed him with steady steps.

    Only Xiong Yuanyuan was puzzled: "This is the end?" What about what we brought?

    "Don't ask." He glanced at his brother sadly, and Xiong Fangfang hated that iron was not steel: "You will find out later."

    "Oh." Xiong Yuanyuan closed her mouth.

    The three of them were about to go out with the crowd, but the music in the venue stopped abruptly, followed by several gunshots, a group of soldiers with live ammunition trotted over, blocked the passage, and aimed their guns at the crowd: "Everyone is Sit back."

    The muzzle of the black hole was pointed, and those who did not have time to leave had to retreat into the venue.

    Immediately afterwards, saw a group of people who had left in front of them also returned to the venue one after another.

    "Everyone, take off your cloak and mask." The leading officer gave the order again: "Queue up for inspection."

    "What happened?" Ruan Shiqing put the cub in his jacket to protect him and asked the person next to him.

    "It seems that the auction item is lost." The man said with a bad voice, and reluctantly took off his cloak.

    Lost auction item?

    Ruan Shiqing's heart moved, it must be worth a lot of money to come up with such a big auction.

    Could it be the little fox?

    At this time, everyone had removed their disguise and lined up in several teams for inspection. Ruan Shiqing carried the cub and walked out slowly with the crowd.

    The soldier in charge of the inspection saw the bulge in his coat, as if there was something hidden, his eyes suddenly brightened, he aimed his gun at him, raised his chin, and showed a little joy: "What's hidden in the clothes?"

    Ruan Shiqing opened the zipper and raised his hands: "It's my puppy."

    The other party leaned over to look, and when he saw that it was indeed a puppy, his face collapsed, and he became a little more impatient. He pointed the gun at the passage: "Hurry up and go."

    ...

    After the three of them went out smoothly, Ruan Shiqing said firmly: "The nine-tailed fox cub has been lost."

    The brothers were puzzled and did not know where he got the news.

    On the contrary, Rong Heng couldn't help but glance at him, and secretly clicked his tongue.

    Not too stupid.

    "Guess."

    When the soldier saw the cub in his coat, his expression changed from secret joy to disappointment to anger. Although his mood changed slightly, Ruan Shiqing noticed it. Then contact the lost valuable auction item, it is the nine-tailed fox cub that is lost.

    I just don't know if it was stolen or if it ran away.

    He hoped it was the latter.

    "Let's go, before the people inside come out, let's go get the money first." The heaviness that had been haunting his heart dissipated, and Ruan Shiqing's footsteps became brisk.

    The three put on cloaks and masks, turned back through another passage, and went to get their own auction money.

    The total price of the engine and drive was 450,000.

    The auctioneer took one-tenth of it as a commission, and the remaining 405,000 star coins were stored in an anonymous crystal card, which was handed over to Ruan Shiqing by the auction manager.

    "Mr. can actually provide an account, and we will directly deposit the money into the account, so that you don't come here in person."

    "No, it's safer this way." Ruan Shiqing politely rejected the other party's test, and Ruan Shiqing took the crystal card and left immediately.

    The manager originally wanted to set the identity of the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to be so cautious that he didn't even want to reveal his bank account. In addition, the lost auction item has not been recovered, and he has no energy to entangle more, so he can only let people go,

    After leaving the auction, he found an unmanned corner to take off his disguise, and Ruan Shiqing swaggered into the crowd.

    The auction has just ended, and many people will take a walk around the market and discuss the changes that happened in the venue.

    While paying attention to the goods on the booth, Ruan Shiqing asked the brothers in a low voice, "Where can I buy Zhinao here?"

    He knew from the book that mobile phones and computers in this world have been replaced by smart brains, which are bound to personal identity cards, integrating entertainment, learning, life and office. The intellectual brain is a great way to gain insight into the world.

    A smart brain is equivalent to mobile phone + computer + holographic helmet + storage space. In short, it is very powerful. Of course, the price is not cheap.

    If it were a few days ago, he would have never dared to think about it.

    But now it's different, he picked up the money!

    "Intellectual brains must be bound to the ID card, and only stores in the inner city have it." Xiong Yuanyuan said: "If you want to buy in the inner city, you must first go to reissue the ID card."

    "Can the ID card be reissued?" Ruan Shiqing was surprised: "Why haven't I heard of you before?" He thought it would take a lot of twists and turns.

    "You have to pay a fine and a handling fee for the replacement of the ID card, which adds up to 10,000 stars." Xiong Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing: "It's useless to say it before, we can't afford that much money."

    After leaving the venue, he realized in a trance that the engine they brought over was the final auction item.

    From the auction venue to the market, he has been smiling all the way.

    Ruan Shiqing was infected with a smile: "We can afford it now."

    The brothers took Ruan Shiqing to the ID card office.

    Ruan Shiqing took a few steps in and found that the two did not follow: "Why don't you go?"

    "We don't need an ID card, we'll wait for you outside." Xiong Fangfang said.

    Ruan Shiqing understood and smiled slightly: "You come in together too, just accompany me."

    Hearing what he said, the two brothers followed him in, following him on the left and the right.

    When the staff at the office saw people coming in, they were too lazy to lift their eyelids: "Re-issue an ID card, 10,000 coins per person."

    The three of them were dressed in a sour taste, but they didn't seem to be able to afford the money.

    How many people in the entire outer city can afford it?

    The staff felt a sense of superiority in their hearts. These mice living in the garbage heap didn't even have ID cards. Even if they died, the police wouldn't care.

    "We have three people to handle,"

    The other party's attitude was not good, Ruan Shiqing also put away his smile: "Swipe the card." After speaking, he took out the crystal card and pushed it over.

    The staff glanced at the crystal card, and then reluctantly started the registration procedure.

    After taking pictures, collecting voiceprints, fingerprints, iris... After a series of procedures, the staff swiped the card on the terminal and handed the three ID cards for admission information to Ruan Shiqing.

    His attitude softened a lot, but he still carried a sense of superiority: "Okay, this is the proof of ID card collection, you can leave after signing."

    Xiong Fangfang and Xiong Yuanyuan took over the electronic display screen and were about to sign in a daze, but were stopped by Ruan Shiqing.

    "The Guard is Here"

    He flipped through the documents handed over by the other party, and when he saw that a satisfactory service evaluation was selected by default on the second page, he turned the display screen to face the staff, and asked with a smile, "We should choose whether the service evaluation is satisfactory or not? "

    Unexpectedly, he was literate, the staff twitched, and the perfunctory smile became reluctant: "Of course, sir."

    The rats in the garbage dumps in the outer city are basically uneducated, and naturally few are literate. Even if he earns some star coins by selling metal garbage, he can only handle it here.

    This was the first one who dared to confront him.

    The staff's eyes were burning with anger, and they gritted their teeth and warned in a low voice: "But I advise you not to do this."

    The more he cared about it, the more Ruan Shiqing was sure of the importance of this evaluation. Turning the pen on his fingertips, he tapped the table: "I guess here, no one will know no matter how bad your attitude is, but if we submit an unsatisfactory service review, the above will definitely know. Maybe also Will affect some assessments, right?"

    Although it is a different world, he feels that some rules should be the same.

    The opponent's face really became stiff. wanted to get angry, for fear of angering him even more;

    Ruan Shiqing changed the default evaluation to dissatisfaction, and filled in the improvement suggestions carefully before signing and submitting.

    Xiong Fangfang and Xiong Yuanyuan followed his example, changed the options, signed and submitted.

    "Thank you." Ruan Shiqing pushed the display back, waved his hand at will, and turned to leave.

    Only left the staff staring at their backs angrily.

    Xiong Yuanyuan looked back, hehe smiled and said, "He stares and bulges like a purple frog."

    Xiong Fangfang thought more: "If I offend him, will there be trouble in the future?"

    "If he really had that kind of ability, he wouldn't have been sent here to work."

    Judging from the degree of discrimination in the inner city and the outer city, the ID card office that is close to the outer city and often needs to deal with people from the outer city is obviously not a good unit.

    So when the other party is angry, they can only hold back.

    Xiong Fangfang was relieved when he heard the words, and then hesitantly said: "The money for the ID card..."

    Before he could finish speaking, Ruan Shiqing interrupted him. He didn't need to finish listening, he also knew what the two wanted to say: "This is one of your rewards, and I'll transfer 20,000 stars to you when you buy Zhinao later, this is the reward you deserve, no need to Excuse me."

    These days, the two brothers have helped him a lot. If it wasn't for them to inquire about the news, the engine would not have sold so smoothly.

    Although the brothers were a little embarrassed, they were not hypocritical people, and finally chose to accept the reward calmly: "Then if you have anything in the future, just call us."

    "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you."

    The three chatted and laughed, and followed the road signs to the mall.

    The inner city is indeed much more prosperous than the outer city.

    The streets are crisscrossed and houses are lined up. Advertising videos are played in turn on the huge display screen. From time to time, uniquely shaped airships or shuttles pass by in the air, and the wind brought by them blows the grass and trees by the roadside.

    And the rubbish, messy and crowded outer city seems to be in two worlds.
