Chapter 655: Chapter 560 Auction
Africa, Kandak.
The sun is scorching high in the sky.
This fictional North African country is basically modeled after Egypt. The city's architectural style and the way the city's residents dress are not much different from those in Egypt - because in the comics, Black Adam is a super villain born in Egypt.
Everything is going according to the plot in the movie: there is a traitor in the archaeological team, and the mercenaries of the International Gang chase the archaeological team into the ancient tomb, and accidentally awaken the sealed Black Adam. Black Adam, with a burst of irritation, kills many mercenaries. Until he takes an anti-tank rocket, he is injured by the eternal metal contained in the warhead and falls into a coma on the spot.
"Bang——"
The anti-tank rocket exploded with a blue ring.
Smoke, flames and shock waves spread in all directions.
After the sand and dust gradually dissipated, Adriana and her brother sat in the van, looking out the window, staring blankly at the man lying quietly in the pit, a strong bald man with a black cloak and hood on his shoulders, and a tight black suit wrapped around his bulging muscles.
The two looked at each other, at a loss.
"Do you want to take him away?"
The fat brother asked hesitantly.
"He saved us, twice."
Adriana affirmed.
The two men opened the car door and got out to rescue people.
At this moment, the roar of an engine suddenly came from the distance.
Adriana thought the international mercenaries were coming again, and hurriedly pulled her brother to hide. However, they looked around and didn't see any vehicles approaching here, and the roar of the engine was getting louder and louder, as if it was right next to their ears. Until a huge black shadow descended from the sky, completely covering the two people, and the airflow blew the sand and dust around them.
The two of them slowly looked up.
His mouth opened wider and wider.
The giant black triangular spaceship slowly landed.
The famous "Valkyrie" space shuttle.
From the Avatar universe.
The shuttle lowered its hatch and set up a ramp, and a group of men and women walked down the spacecraft. The woman walking in front had long straight black hair and bangs, and was wearing a one-piece tight-fitting uniform that outlined her slender figure, like some kind of mecha pilot's combat uniform, with a red leaf logo of "NERV" printed on the back.
"Thank you, Ms. Adriana."
The leading woman said something incomprehensible to her. Adriana didn't even know why the other party knew her name. Then she and her brother watched them carry Black Adam's body on a stretcher, turn around and return to the spaceship with the stretcher, and finally disappear into the cabin.
Everything was just as rehearsed.
"No, you...you are?"
Adriana was completely confused about the situation.
"Leave the rest to us."
Sugawara Mao bowed to her seriously:
"Arigato."
After saying that, he stood up and pulled out his pistol, pointing it at the two men.
"Snap!" "Snap!"
After two crisp gunshots.
Both of them fell in a pool of blood.
"search."
Sugawara Mao instructed.
Several men came up and touched the woman all over her body.
"Found it!"
One of the men said excitedly.
He raised a metal crown in his hand.
"very good."
Sugawara Mao's eyes lit up.
...
Metropolitan, Continental Hotel.
This is a brand new hotel that was recently renovated. It is located less than two streets away from the headquarters building of the Daily Planet. It is said that the Daily Planet newspaper is the safest place in the entire DC Extended Universe because Superman is often seen here.
Today, luxury cars gathered in front of mainland hotels.
Fu Qinghai got out of a Lincoln limousine, opened the back door and stretched out a hand. A pair of snow-white, slender legs stepped out of the car first, with delicate jade feet wrapped in strappy high-heeled sandals, a soft hand gently rested on Fu Qinghai's palm, and then gracefully got out of the car.
Chen Xinxue and Chen Xinlu attended the event in their best attire.
In Fu Qinghai's opinion, this was just an ordinary auction, but for the two Chen sisters, the auction was equivalent to a dinner party. Such occasions could not be fooled, and the makeup and clothes had to be done to perfection, so Fu Qinghai also wore a black haute couture suit.
Chen Xinxue wore a fishtail skirt with star-shaped diamond tassels swaying freely on the silver skirt. She swayed gracefully as she walked, and it was gorgeous and dazzling under the refraction of light and shadow. The sense of luxury and fashion were perfectly blended, just like a mermaid emerging from the water in the Milky Way.
Chen Xinlu's evening dress is very simple, with fine radiating pleats on the side waist and just the right high slit design to modify the curves and elongate the body proportions. The apricot-colored soft satin material flows freely with the changes in light and shadow, interweaving infinite elegance.
The two sisters held Fu Qinghai's arms, one on each side, and stepped onto the steps in front of the Continental Hotel. The clicking sound of their high heels made every step full of charm... Fu Qinghai fully enjoyed the envious and jealous looks of the men around him.
The dazzling brilliance of the two sisters caused ordinary passers-by who did not know the truth to even think that some celebrity charity party was being held here. However, the people who came here today...
They are all reincarnations.
"Fuck, why does he do that?"
"These two women are really amazing!"
"Ha, he's so high-profile with women on both sides, I don't think he's a powerful player, he must be a newcomer who just entered the reincarnation world. He's so proud of meeting two gold diggers, and he's obviously not a powerful person if he shows off everywhere."
Some people began to make malicious speculations.
"That's right. Real bosses are all very low-key. Who would be like him? Hey, let me tell you, last time I met Monroe Melville in the Marvel Universe, did you know Monroe Melville? The perfect human boss! Wow, he's really low-key. He speaks politely and not at all overbearing. Unlike these guys, what the hell are they pretending to be?"
Someone began to describe it vividly.
Describing the "real big guys" he had met.
The whispers of the people around him were all picked up by Fu Qinghai's Lehman Ears. He appeared calm on the surface, but in fact he secretly asked Qingming in the distance to record them. He recorded the faces of those who spoke ill of him, and would settle the scores with them when he met them in the future.
"Oh, don't look at it anymore. You can tell with your toes that two people licking a man together can't be considered as awesome players. They are just pretty girls with nothing else to offer. I wouldn't even play with such a woman even if she was given to me for free."
Some "knowledgeable guys" began to analyze it.
Then he was immediately slapped in the face.
Someone nearby said in confusion,
"That's not right. If I'm not mistaken, the woman on the left... seems to be Chen Xue, right? Mage Yueji, the owner of the Hong Kong Magic Sanctuary in the Marvel Universe, and the eleventh on the Samsara Hundred Flowers Ranking. Could it really be her?"
"Dong Ge"'s face froze when he heard that.
The man next to him opened the magazine in his hand:
"Let me confirm again. The list of the top ten beautiful mages in the Order-Maintaining Alliance should not have changed... Oh my god? It's really Chen Xue. Look, they look exactly the same! I finally saw her in person today. She's even more beautiful than in the photo!"
"Let me feel better, let me feel better."
People around who didn't buy the Order-Maintaining Alliance magazine gathered around to watch, but the big talker "Dong Ge" quietly stepped back with an embarrassed look on his face and disappeared into the crowd.
The three of them entered the Continental Hotel and were greeted by a waiter. Fu Qinghai handed over a card, which was a VIP card given to him by the Order-Maintaining Alliance. The waiter took it respectfully.
"Hello, Qingshan Khan, please follow me."
The waiter handed back the card and raised his hand to give instructions.
The three followed the waiter to the hotel elevator.
It looks like the auction will be held underground.
"Why are there so many reincarnations today?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Fu Qinghai asked casually.
Usually they search for plot clues everywhere, but they can't even meet Cat Three and a few other players. But today, all they see are reincarnations, and it feels like all the players in the entire DCEU are here.
"Because this is the first office established by the Order-Maintaining Alliance in the DCEU, they held such an auction, probably to gather popularity and announce their existence."
Chen Xinxue leaned close to him and whispered.
"I see."
Fu Qinghai nodded to show that he understood.
He felt the fragrance surrounding him, the faint aroma from the body temperature lingering around his nose, but he couldn't tell which fragrance was Chen Xinxue's and which was Chen Xinlu's... Fu Qinghai thought to himself, I wish I were a Space Wolf, thinking of this, he sniffed even harder.
"Um?"
Fu Qinghai smelled a familiar scent.
"Penhaligon's saffron agarwood?"
"Hehe, you still remember it?"
Chen Xinxue proudly raised her white wrist to the tip of his nose.
Chen Xinlu had no idea what the two were talking about.
The three of them came to the auction venue, which was arranged similarly to a Sotheby's auction house, nothing special. However, those who were qualified to enter here were all VIP members of the Order-Maintaining Alliance, and ordinary players could only gather outside the venue and secretly guess what kind of awesome stuff was being sold inside.
Just as the three of them were looking for a seat.
Fu Qinghai suddenly saw an acquaintance.
"Huh, Professor Moira Robinson?"
Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the intellectual and elegant middle-aged woman three round tables away from him.
A black low-cut dress wrapped around this thin and tall white woman, her light blonde hair was tied up behind her head, and there were some wrinkles and spots on the skin of her cheeks and neck. However, these years did not affect her beauty too much, but made her look quite mature and feminine.
"Uh, Qing...Qingshan?"
Moira Robinson was startled and almost couldn't maintain her gentle and academic image.
"What do you want to do, Qingshan? I warn you, this is the territory of the Order-Maintaining Alliance, don't mess around."
The Fungus Queen warned in a deep voice.
"Haha, what are you afraid of?"
Fu Qinghai smiled disdainfully:
"How can you be so startled like a rabbit as the head of the Perfect Human Fungus and Parasitic Division? Don't worry, I won't do anything to you here. I just want to see you and see how the Queen of Fungi is doing these days... I will not be able to sleep or eat well until you, this bastard, die."
Fu Qinghai's smile suddenly turned cold.
Like the biting cold wind in an iceberg.
Moira Robinson's breathing was a little rapid. Faced with such an explicit and direct threat that was so close at hand, the Fungus Queen didn't dare to move in her seat, and she didn't even dare to look Fu Qinghai in the eyes. She forced herself to straighten her neck and turn her head away, without saying a word in response.
Monroe Melville sat next to her.
I sighed in my heart after witnessing this scene.
Moira Robinson, although her personal strength is also very strong, is still a scholar at heart rather than a warrior - she has been frightened by Qingshan, and Monroe Melville saw it long ago.
Last time in the Marvel (Earth-36) universe, there was actually a great general on the side of perfect humans, the Queen of Fungi. However, after hearing that the opponent was Qingshan, Moira Robinson did not dare to fight no matter what.
"Boom boom boom."
At this moment, someone knocked on the table:
"Everyone be quiet, the auction is about to begin."
"snort."
Fu Qinghai snorted coldly and sat back in his seat.
Moira Robinson turned away with lingering fear.
I didn't expect to see perfect humans in this auction venue. Fu Qinghai glanced over there and thought to himself, since I have a lot of assimilation points, when the auction starts, I will bid for whatever the perfect humans like and raise the price to death, you are a bunch of bugs.
"Ahem, okay, everyone, welcome to the DCEU special auction of the Order Alliance. This time, our auction theme is not fixed, and the items participating in the auction are all-encompassing and come from various reincarnation worlds. I believe it will satisfy everyone present. Okay, no more nonsense, the auction will start immediately!"
As the host's voice fell.
The welcome speech on the screen behind disappeared.
The first auction item appeared in the center of the big screen.
A metal helmet with a somewhat ancient Greek style.
Fu Qinghai saw this picture.
The pupil shrank into a tiny dot in an instant.
"The first auction item, Magneto's helmet."
The host said calmly:
"Function: Makes the wearer immune to any mind control abilities or magic. There are no usage requirements."
"The starting price is 5,000 assimilation points. Each bid increase must not be less than 500 assimilation points."
"Now, the auction begins."
The host tapped the hammer gently.
