As I said earlier, Gaia is a famous trade planet, and on a trade planet, the most important thing is all kinds of auction houses.
When asking Xia Qi for all kinds of information, Xie Luan used the way of ordinary chat without leaving any traces, so as to avoid showing his abnormal common sense.
It was also in these words that Xie Luan realized that there is a "star network" in this world, which is equivalent to the Internet on Earth, but much more powerful in function.
In the office where Xie Luan first came to apply for a job, there was an old-fashioned optical brain, and he borrowed it for a random reason. Xie Luan used this old-fashioned optical brain that looked like an ostrich egg to obtain a lot of information he needed.
While browsing the information quickly, Xie Luan swiped his finger on the virtual screen for a while, and his eyes stopped on a line of text—
【Exotic Plant Auction】
There are seven famous trade planets in the interstellar space, each of which has its own characteristics, and the most well-known point of Gaia is that this planet often holds some special auctions that are not found on other trade planets.
These special auctions, such as the "Exotic Plant Auction" that Xie Luan is seeing now, are not very popular, but there are all kinds of connoisseurs in the interstellar space. Such special auctions are very important to the corresponding connoisseurs. It's like a carnival.
It can be said that as long as you are a connoisseur who is active in the circle of rare plant appreciation, you will never miss this auction on Gaia.
There are countless differences between the two worlds, including biological species. Knowing this, Xie Luan couldn't help but be moved when he saw this auction.
If some plants on the earth are brought to this world, maybe they can be regarded as rare and rare
Roughly browsed the appearance of common plants in this world on the star website, Xie Luan already had a general idea in his mind.
The potted plants in the yard at the back of the house fell to the ground before. It took a lot of time to clean up, and it was also troublesome to go out to buy new potted plants. Xie Luan finally set his sights on the surviving pots of succulent plants by the windowsill of his house.
With the mentality of trying not to lose, Xie Luan returned to Earth and picked out a pot of meat toot, which looked as succulent as a pink lotus, and brought it to this world.
The auction won't be held until a week later. Xie Luan doesn't know what the auction rules are in this world, so he can only ask Xia Qi for an hour's leave to see it in person.
Xia Qi didn't ask Xie Luan what she wanted to do when she asked for leave. After listening, she nodded in agreement.
Holding a pot of succulent that he brought from Earth, Xie Luan followed the map route he had found on Xingwang before and successfully arrived at the auction house he was looking for.
Until the auction is officially held, the auction house named Soma is willing to continue to accept the commission. Of course, in order to ensure the quality of the auction, this Soma auction house invited professional connoisseurs to set the threshold as appraisers.
The threshold is very high, and the condition of "scarce quantity" is not enough. The rare plants that can be displayed on the booth of this auction are basically mutants. They are precious things that have been specially cultivated and can only be born with a very low probability.
The entrusted object was sent into the inner room by the waiter to determine whether it was qualified. After the waiter came out and said a few words in the ear of another staff member, Xie Luan saw the polite face of the staff member in charge of receiving him. His smile seemed to deepen.
Looking at this expression, it should be done? Xie Luan thought to himself.
If it is done, it is good, even if the auction price is not high at that time, it will still be profitable. The requirements are not high. As long as you can earn five figures, you will meet your expectations. After all, it is an auction house, so it shouldn't even be impossible to auction five figures...
At this time, Xie Luan kept his expectations relatively low in his heart, and he didn't know whether this pot of succulent was considered a rare breed in this world. But since this auction house is willing to accept it, at least it is not an ordinary plant.
"Our auction house is willing to accept this entrustment. Regarding the commission ratio and other matters collected from the auction proceeds, please take a look at this contract, sir, and you can sign it if you think there is no problem." The staff member said while secretly observing. With the look of the human youth in front.
Just now I passed a message to him, saying that I must win this commission, and even said that I can make appropriate concessions on the commission ratio...
What does this mean? This shows that their boss thinks this will be a big business! Although he didn't hear how the appraiser commented on this treasure, he was sure that the other party definitely praised this treasure so much that he praised it one by one.
You must know that their boss is a goblin, and the goblin race is famous in the interstellar space for "deadly asking for money". If a goblin needs to make concessions in his interests, unless this concession allows him to obtain greater benefits, he will not be exempted from it. talk.
Xie Luan looked at the commission rate charged by the auction house, 15%, which is a normal rate on Earth. After confirming that there was no problem, Xie Luan readily signed.
"What do you think, sir, about the reserve price of this auction item?" The staff asked Xie Luan carefully for his opinion after he signed it.
Because he didn't know the market situation, Xie Luan replied, "It's up to you to decide."
After quickly handling the matter here, Xie Luan quickly returned to the branch, not exceeding his leave time. After that, the days passed in a stable and orderly manner. On the third day, Xie Luan encountered something that caught him off guard.
Ever since he came to this cub care club to apply for a job as a nurse, he has been quietly floating beside him, and the golden ball of light that neither wandered nor disappeared suddenly moved—
This is the last guide, Xie Luan suddenly thought of this idea.
Although it was caught off guard, Xie Luan followed behind the light ball for the first time, and the golden light ball did not take him anywhere else, but only took him to the house where he usually takes care of the cubs.
When entering the house, Xie Luan saw at a glance that in the upper right corner of the house, a door that had been closed and closed before was pulled open a little.
There's... a holding room.
On the first day of applying for the job, Xie Luan had already figured out the structure of the house, but Xie Luan had never entered this insulation room, because the work assigned to him these days did not require him to enter. There.
At this time, the golden light ball floated directly to the entrance of the insulation room, and drilled in from the exposed gap. The direction was clear, Xie Luan stepped up to keep up.
However, as soon as he approached the door of the insulation room, Xie Luan heard the voice of arguing inside.
"How many times have I told you, don't ignore this cub on purpose. Is it because I don't take a look today, you're going to throw this egg in the corner again?" Xia Qi's voice suppressed the anger, "Is it so difficult for you to apply nutrient solution to this baby egg? The other two eggs are not well taken care of, why can't it be this baby egg's turn?"
"Can this be the same, Xia Qi, you clearly know the situation, don't embarrass me... Besides, this nutrient solution is not indispensable." Zhao Chuan glanced at the black baby egg on the side, and used the belt In a tone of obvious disgust, he said, "Unfortunate..."
"You can see that other clubs are avoiding this cub. Which cub care club is willing to spread such an unlucky thing? We will grow up and talk. Don't forget, which race caused the black nightmare disease. After coming out, there are still many people who are now living better than dying because of this disease." Zhao Chuan didn't feel that he had said or done anything wrong, all of what he said were facts, and what he did was also true. Human nature.
Black Nightmare Disease, which appeared about thirty years ago, is still an incurable disease. People who suffer from this disease will gradually lose control over the body. At first, it may only be a certain part of the body, but when the disease worsens, the whole person will become completely immobile.
The scary thing is that even though the body is completely immobile, the consciousness will be extremely clear. A black, totem-like pattern will gradually appear on the skin of the sick person. When the black totem covers the whole body, that is when the sick person completely loses control over the body.
This curse-like disease appeared because of the wanton actions of a race called "Knox" in the interstellar space.
Whether it is technology or power, this race once stood at the apex of the entire universe. But then in order to satisfy their own desires, they carried out crazy experiments.
Failed, his own race was destroyed, not to mention, he almost dragged other races to suffer together, and finally left them with a big trouble that could not be eliminated-that is, the black nightmare.
After the explosion that shocked all races in the entire interstellar space, the originally highly prosperous planet of the Knox race was turned into a ruin overnight.
There were no survivors, everyone thought so, but the Covenant's reconnaissance team finally found a baby egg protected by dozens of layers of defense equipment in the ruins of the Knox race's capital star.
Despite the resentment of all races at this unwarranted disaster, the Covenant dispatched personnel to deliver the cub to a cub willing to adopt it after reconnaissance forces found it, out of morality. Nursing Club.
This cub egg went to many branches in a row, and it was sent away after a short time, and finally it was sent to Gaia star, and finally settled down in a simple and old cub care branch——
So there was this black ball in front of Xie Luan at this time.
Seeing that the golden ball of light entered the holding room, Xie Luan followed up even though he heard the quarrel outside. After entering, his eyes moved with the ball of light, so he saw the black cub egg that was left alone.
The other two cub eggs in the incubation room have already been smeared with the nutrient solution, and are now waiting to be absorbed. The only exception is this black baby egg, which has nothing on the surface.
As soon as the golden ball of light entered the holding room, it swirled around the black baby egg. After several circles, the golden ball gradually disappeared in front of Xie Luan's eyes.
The golden ball has disappeared, indicating that the final guidance has been completed.
The key to everything is this baby egg? Xie Luan felt a little weird.
Knowing that the timing of his entry into the insulation room was not right, Xie Luan calmed down and glanced at the two people with different expressions in front of him. He took the initiative to break the silence in the room: "I will take care of this cub in the future. Bar."
Even without the golden ball of light, Xie Luan would say the same thing now when he heard the quarrel just now.
Hearing what the young man said, Zhao Chuan immediately took over the words: "This is the best, Xia Qi, you don't have to talk about me in the future, someone is responsible for this cub."
Xia Qi had already suppressed her anger at this time, and after thinking about it again and again, she finally nodded.
In fact, taking care of the baby eggs is a very easy job. I apply the nutrient solution every few days, and there is nothing else.
It was meaningless for the two of them to stay in the heat preservation room. When Xie Luan picked up the black cub from the ground, they went outside.
This cub is quite big. When Xie Luan took this black egg into his arms, the first impression was this.
Will this be the key to saving the world, or the root cause of its destruction? Reaching out and touching the eggshell of the black baby egg in his arms, Xie Luan couldn't help but have such questions.
Xie Luan didn't know that the last instruction Golden Ball gave him was to think about how he should treat this cub. From the dispute he heard just now, this cub's race probably had done very bad things.
But no matter what this race has done in the past, it shouldn't be blamed on a cub that hasn't broken its shell yet, it doesn't make sense...
The cub hasn't been born yet, it's not doing anything bad, it's a good baby.
The nutrient solution was placed on the shelf next to it, Xie Luan took it down, squeezed the nutrient solution into the palm of his hand, and then carefully smeared it on the cub's egg he was holding.
Repeatedly applying the nutrient solution to the baby egg three times can achieve the best effect. Xie Luan was not bothered, and properly applied the nutrient solution to the black egg three times.
After finishing the work of applying the nutrient solution, Xie Luan carefully put the black baby egg back on the soft pad.
"Hurry up and be born." Finally, reaching out to touch the ball, Xie Luan said this in a soft voice.
There is no other reason for saying this, just because Xie Luan felt that every cub's broken shell should be expected.
If no one is willing to look forward to the birth of this cub, it is up to him to look forward to it.
After saying this, confirming that he didn't miss anything to do, Xie Luan left the insulation room and carefully closed the door.
The insulation room was still bright after the person left. Xie Luan, who had already left the room, didn't notice that, just as he turned around, the black cub lying quietly on the soft cushion moved imperceptibly. A tiny crack appeared on the eggshell that had been smeared with the nutrient solution.
