However, what happened next gradually made them realize that what happened just now was not an "accident" at all!
As time goes by, the items being auctioned become rarer and rarer.
Some are precious chemical materials, high-tech aerospace equipment... Master Cheng and Nie Mi also gradually joined the auction.
But a strange phenomenon happened!
Whenever they were interested in bidding on something, Guest No. 001 would come to disrupt the situation, even if he had to snatch it away, just to prevent them from bidding on anything.
This blatant and deliberate targeting attracted a lot of people's attention.
"what's the situation?"
"Who is No. 001?"
"Don't you know? President Torre of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is here today. No. 001 is him. This group of people seems to have offended him, so this is a warning to the other party."
"Tsk, no wonder, I said it wouldn't be such a coincidence."
…
Qiao Nian didn’t see anything she liked, so she didn’t participate in any bidding. Later, when she realized something was wrong, her eyes gradually became more focused.
She listened to the whispers coming from all directions.
Then look at the embarrassed expressions of Master Cheng and Nie Mi.
He twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled!
It's a pretty evil smile.
He kicked the chair next to him away.
Master Cheng and Nie Mi were still angry about the Chamber of Commerce Alliance's deliberate humiliation of them. When they turned around and heard Qiao Nian's movement, they were shocked.
"Nian Nian?"
Qiao Nian looked past the others and looked at Nie Mi: "What does he want to shoot?"
“Uh…” Nie Mi didn’t react for a moment and wanted to pull her: “Forget it, this is the Independent Continent, if he wants to take pictures…”
Qiao Nian raised his eyebrows, his eyes were cold and dry, and asked first: "What happened to the Independent Continent?"
She will still go back to the Independent Continent! "He wouldn't come here just to cause trouble for us. He must have a reason to come here."
In the past few days, she had heard Nie Mi talk a lot about the Independent Continent, and it was almost certain that a banquet of today's level would not invite anyone at the level of the president of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
The other party didn't know they were coming, so it's impossible that they came specifically for them.
They are just along for the ride.
The other party must have a reason to come here specially!
Nie Mi naturally thought of this as well. He rubbed his temple and said uncertainly, "It is said that today's auction will feature a very precious rare earth. This is the raw material for aerospace and is also very rare in the Independent Continent! He probably came here for this auction item."
Rare earths.
Qiao Nian's eyes gradually darkened, her beautiful lips slightly pursed, with a wild and wanton expression on her face: "Okay, I'll wait for him!"
…
The auction itself was drawing to a close.
Half an hour later, the finale item was brought to the auction table.
The middle-aged man who had been chatting and laughing with the people around him stopped joking, his expression became serious, and his sharp eyes gradually became determined.
After the auctioneer waited for the robot to present the last auction item, he smiled and said loudly: "I believe all the guests know what our last auction item is today, so I will not keep you in suspense and introduce it in detail. The starting price of the last collection today is 800,000. You can start bidding..."
Rare earths are very attractive to the guests in the audience.
He had just finished speaking.
Someone immediately raised a sign to bid: "Number 016, 1 million."
It increased by 200,000 in one go.
But this price is not enough to scare people.
Before she put down the sign in her hand, someone raised the price: "No. 012, 1.3 million."
