Chapter 7: Chapter 6 Sudden Change in Style?
Li Qingshan fell silent for a moment, returned to his senses, and said hesitantly with struggling eyes, "Okay."
After that, there was no more storyline; Li Qingshan sat there, frozen stiff, motionless as if scared silly.
The mission continues!
The character "Xiaobai" did not have a physique as robust as "Xiaohai," but with the help of the rope, they successfully entered the washroom on the 101st floor.
There were no unexpected incidents along the way.
Bypassing the Black-clothed Guard army stationed at the corridor entrance, only the final obstacle remained—destroying item number 1372!
Playing up to this point, Wang Hao actually became unprecedentedly excited. It wasn't easy.
He took several deep breaths, reminding himself to stay calm; he must remain calm and not end up like "Li Qingshan," going out there and getting boxed.
For the sake of caution, he controlled the character to pat off the dust on their clothes, tidying up neatly.
Watching the particles floating in the air, he couldn't help but sigh once more at the superb VR technology...
If such a game really came to market, all the AAA titles would be massacred!
Remember, all of them!
Leaving the washroom and walking a few more steps, there was a large hall filled with diversely dressed Black-clothed Bodyguard protecting their employers into the inner field.
Just at that moment, a Caucasian man who had been robbed entered the passageway and a label popped up with options [① Chat up][② Attack][③ Control]. (Note: In this Reincarnation, there has not yet been an encounter with the Caucasian man.)
He quickly operated the interface, choosing ③ Control.
Xiaobai twisted her waist, her high heel wobbled, and she fell into the arms of the Caucasian man.
"Ma'am, are you alright?"
The man looked up and, as expected, was stunned by "Xiaobai's" extraordinary beauty. Looking at her hips, waist, and legs, he had never seen such a perfect type despite having seen myriad women in his life.
"Sir, could you assist me, I can't seem to stand up."
"My pleasure!"
"Xiaobai" was helped up by the man and walked "clank clank clank" into the inner field on high heels, miraculously without anyone stopping her...
After all, the security check had already been done outside.
Everyone here was either rich or noble, and it was common for a magnate to bring one or two unfamiliar beauties.
Who would want to provoke their own patrons?
Wang Hao watched the scene before him dumbfounded. Was this the legendary "Control"?
No way, no way...
The real inner field only had about a hundred people, the chatter was sparse, and it was somewhat quieter compared to the outer auction.
Taking advantage of her beauty, Xiaobai sat next to an old lecherous man and started a conversation, "Sir, do you know what the auction items are today?"
"Beautiful lady, may I ask for your name?"
"I am here on behalf of my father, attending such a high-level auction for the first time." She pursed her lips and smiled.
The middle-aged man laughed heartily, unconcerned that she didn't introduce herself. Everyone who could attend the event was a top-tier billionaire worth over 10 billion US Dollars; it didn't matter who they were: "I'm Bill Buffett, CEO of Alpha Industry. This private auction will only sell three Strange Objects!"
"Strange Objects?"
"Yes."
In front of a young and pretty woman, there's always more enthusiasm for boasting: "There are always many bizarre things in the world, our world is more dangerous and also more interesting than you imagine. The world operates on materialism, but it's also about idealism, isn't it?"
"Wow, mysticism. I've heard a bit about that. But my father, he doesn't want me to get involved in such matters."
"Ha, I think your father made the right decision. Some things are called Strange Objects, and they often possess Extraordinary Powers... Look, it's time."
At 8 o'clock sharp, the auctioneer took the stage, another middle-aged man.
No nonsense speech, he didn't even introduce what the item was, and started the auction straight away.
The first item was locked in a glass case and looked like a golden Buddha statue.
"We will now begin the auction for item number 1371, starting at 100 million US Dollars, with each bid increment not less than 10 million."
Bill Buffett whispered, "Because Strange Objects are too precious, it's usually a cash and carry process. Once the item is auctioned, one can leave directly by a helicopter from the top floor. Such things are illegal in most countries. Even in our Meili Empire, they are... illegal."
"There's an organization called the Humanity Security Organization that contains these items... Thus, the current auction is private, not public."
He clearly didn't want to elaborate.
"May I ask, what's being auctioned now?"
"This is... a little ghost!"
"A little ghost?!" "Xiaobai" deliberately exclaimed in surprise.
