Half an hour later, Shen Qiu and others appeared at the magnificent gate of the Starry Sky Arena, only to see long queues at all the security checkpoints.
Fully armed soldiers tried their best to maintain order, and many reporters and anchors were excitedly broadcasting live.
"Everyone, we are now in the Star City, Starry Sky Arena. You can see that this auction is extremely popular. The number of people on the scene can be described as a sea of people."
…
Shen Qiu glanced around and then spoke to Bei Kailun and the others.
"There are too many people. Let's go through the VIP channel."
"good."
Bei Kailun and others responded immediately.
So Shen Qiu led them through the crowd and walked to the left. About ten minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of the VIP channel.
However, the scene before them made Shen Qiu and others dumbfounded. There was also a long queue at the entrance marked as the VIP channel, and there were complaints everywhere.
"What the hell is going on? I'm the CEO of Tianyu Group and I have a VIP invitation letter, but they asked me to wait here."
"Okay, you're the boss, just grab a handful here, who isn't the boss?"
"Everyone, please calm down."
…
At this time, a member of the Star Department and a soldier wearing mechanical armor was guarding each position, with almost one post every ten steps. At the same time, there were patrollers holding loudspeakers and shouting continuously.
"Please line up in an orderly manner. There is still a long time before the auction begins, which is enough time for everyone to enter. Don't worry!"
…
"Senior, it seems we have to queue here too."
Tang Kexin looked at Shen Qiu with a smile.
"Well, let's get in line."
Shen Qiu sighed, his face full of helplessness. The VIP channel was for the rich and nobles, but when the number of rich and nobles participating exploded, this channel no longer worked.
"good."
Qi Dong and others responded one after another.
So Shen Qiu and the others walked to the back of the line and lined up.
Bei Kailun lowered his voice and said at this time.
"Captain, it looks like the Blue Alliance has invested a lot of money to ensure the success of this auction. I just took a quick glance and saw three general-level officers and two captains of the Aegis Agency."
"Well, tighter security isn't a bad thing."
After listening to what Beikelen said, Shen Qiu looked around and saw Admiral Dio, a subordinate of General Nosavega, who was patrolling seriously.
"It's really not a bad thing. The problem is that it's too strict. They're checking before they even get inside."
Angie secretly poked his head out to look at the front of the team. He could see several people wearing blue fang metal masks and star-shiny uniforms in front of the team, initially verifying the identities of the people queuing outside one by one.
From time to time, you can see some scalpers who have queued up for others being pulled out.
Of course, their main purpose is not to crack down on scalpers, but to prevent lawless elements such as the defeated cultists from sneaking in.
"It's okay, just cooperate."
Shen Qiu calmly reached out his hand, pushed Angie's head back into his pocket and said.
"Um."
Qi Dong and others nodded in response.
Not long after, a Xinghui staff member wearing a fang mask walked up to Shen Qiu and the others and spoke.
"Please show us your invitation letter and ID."
Shen Qiu then took out his ID and handed it over. The Xinghui staff member was stunned when he saw the ID, and then said respectfully.
"Master Shen Qiu, why are you queuing here?"
"If not here, where?"
Shen Qiu looked at the Xinghui staff member in confusion.
"There's an SVIP channel over there that allows unimpeded passage. You can go through that channel, or I can take you there."
The Star Shine staff member in front of him pointed his finger into the distance and said.
"Thank you, no thanks, let's go."
When Shen Qiu heard this, he did not hesitate to take Chen Ye and others away from the team and walked away.
At this time, at the entrance of the SVIP passage in the distance, a bright red carpet was laid from the inside to the edge of the road, and reporters and onlookers surrounded the edge area.
At the entrance of the SVIP passage, there were several domineering figures standing. The most conspicuous one among them was the First Star Envoy, Ogusa. He stood there freely and was as dazzling as the sun.
There were a lot of female fans who kept waving light signs at him and shouting his name.
"Ogsa!"
…
In addition, there were two people standing on the left and right of Ogusa. These four people were General Dominfus of the Blue Alliance, General Nosavega, General Afades, and General Rovian.
No one who sees this lineup would dare to underestimate it.
At this time, a stretched luxury custom-made car drove to the edge of the carpet.
Click~
Many reporters and anchors took pictures of the car, with flash lights flashing continuously.
At this time, a tall and elegant woman wearing a cheongsam with a celadon pattern and red high heels, and a sunny and handsome man wearing a white shirt, came forward and respectfully opened the car door.
At this time, an elderly lady holding a fan and wearing all kinds of jewels and accessories came down with a young and handsome man.
"Wow!"
"Look, another big shot is coming."
"Who is that?"
"Bana! The president of the Blue Alliance Materials Association, she mainly deals in mining and oil, and is said to be rich enough to rival a country! The handsome guy next to her is the current popular star of the Blue Alliance, Heck."
“I’m so jealous.”
…
At this time, Bana took Hek's arm and stepped onto the red carpet, walking forward under the attention of everyone.
When they reached the entrance of the passage, a woman wearing a rabbit metal mask and a high-end Star Shine uniform politely extended her hand.
Bana then took out an invitation.
A senior member of the Starlight Department, Ai Xi, took the invitation letter, checked it, and swiped it on the instrument.
The gate at the entrance showed that there was one S-class VIP.
"please!"
Aixi bowed politely.
Bana then took Hek and walked in proudly under the attention of everyone.
At this time, another black car stopped by the side of the road. The door opened and a spirited middle-aged man in a navy blue suit got out.
Click!
Countless flashes of light came on.
"Who is this?"
"This one seems to be Blue Alliance Councillor Beike."
“That’s also an important person.”
"That's right."
…
Councillor Beike strode forward and soon arrived at the entrance of the passage.
Ai Xi extended her hand to Councillor Beike, who took out his ID card and handed it over.
Ai Qian took it and swiped it against the instrument.
"No permission, no passage."
She then stretched out her hands, made a cross sign, and spoke to Councillor Bei Ke.
"Sorry sir, you don't have the right to pass. Please queue up at the VIP channel!"
"Why can't you let me take this passage? I'm a member of the Blue Alliance."
"Sorry, Councillor, this is not possible either. This SVIP channel is only for special people."
Aixi politely declined.
When Councillor Bei Ke was about to start arguing, he saw the people around him laughing and talking.
"Haha, what's going on? He can't even get in."
"No way, isn't that guy of high status?"
"What's the use of having a high status? You don't have an invitation letter, and you don't have a position in the City of Stars, so they won't recognize you."
"This is really embarrassing."
"Yes, if it were me, I would run away immediately and not embarrass myself. If anyone is let out of this passage, he would be so powerful that the earth would shake if he stomps his feet!"
"That's right, this guy really thinks he's one of those big guys in the top ten, but he's actually just a small councillor."
When Beike heard the discussions, his face turned red like a monkey's butt and he left in shame.
At this time Shen Qiu came over with Chen Ye and others. They stepped onto the red carpet and walked straight towards the entrance.
"Another big guy is here, but unfortunately he's wearing a mask, so I don't know who he is."
"Is he a real boss or a fake one? Don't let bad luck happen to you again."
"The one wearing the mask looks familiar."
"I remember now, that guy is Shen Qiu!"
"The Third Star Envoy Shen Qiu? Is this true or not?"
…
While everyone was talking, Ogsa and others standing in the front also noticed Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu raised his hand and waved at them slightly as a greeting.
Ogusa nodded slightly in response.
For a moment, everyone was excited and talked about it excitedly.
"It's true. Lord Ogusa responded to him."
"Fuck, boss!"
“Take a picture!”
…
Click~
Under the illumination of numerous flash lights, Shen Qiu brought Chen Ye and others to the entrance of the passage, and Ai Qian said with a smile.
"Please show us your invitation letter or ID."
Shen Qiu picked up his ID card and swiped it directly. At the same time, the gate at the entrance turned green instantly, showing the authority level SS, allowing passage.
"Master Star Envoy, please!"
Ai Qian immediately bowed respectfully at a ninety-degree angle.
"Um!"
Shen Qiu led Bei Kailun and others and walked straight there, and everyone present talked excitedly.
"Am I seeing right? It's the privileged level SS!"
“I’m so jealous.”
…
At this time, after Shen Qiu and others entered the SVIP channel, they met a girl wearing a blue and white cheongsam and with extraordinary temperament. She said to Shen Qiu respectfully.
"Please follow me, sir. Since there are still many people who have not entered the venue, the auction will not start so soon. I will take you to the VIP lounge first."
"good!"
Shen Qiu nodded slightly in response.
…
Starry Sky Arena VIP Lounge.
Haipeng was wearing a black tuxedo, a gold tie, and shiny leather shoes. He was holding the arm of a young woman in a tight red dress with a low opening. He greeted Qi Kun with a big smile on his face.
"Master Qi Kun, I didn't expect you to attend this banquet."
"How can I miss such a grand feast? But then again, Haipeng, you have been quite low-key in recent years. It seems that you are doing well."
Qi Kun looked at Haipeng, who was once one of the top ten rookies.
Haipeng is a little different from other rookie kings. This guy doesn't have much fighting ability and only became famous by reselling things.
"Master Qi Kun is really good at joking. I am just trying to make a living. How can I compare to you? If I have the chance in the future, I will have to rely on you to give me food."
Haipeng praised it highly.
Qi Kun looked at Haipeng proudly, thinking that this guy was quite sensible.
"Hey, what day is it today? I actually saw two big shots."
At this time, a hearty laugh was heard.
Qi Kun and Hai Peng turned their heads and saw Huang Jinshuo coming with a sexy female companion with a curvy figure and his lackey Pang Ji.
"Huang Jinshuo, you are here too."
Qi Kun sneered.
"How can such a grand feast be without our master? Our master's financial resources are among the best in the Red Alliance."
Pang Ji praised it vigorously.
"Since when do we have the right to interrupt our conversations? There are no rules at all."
Qi Kun replied in a very domineering manner.
Pang Ji was stunned for a moment, while Huang Jinshuo said with a smile.
"The people below are ignorant. Don't be angry, Master Qi. Why don't you apologize to Master Qi quickly? You should know that Master Qi is from one of the eight major families. Be careful that he will skin you alive."
"I'm sorry, Master Qi, you are a magnanimous person. Don't bother with a villain like me."
Pang Ji apologized in panic.
"snort!"
Qi Kun turned around and left proudly.
At this time Haipeng said with a smile.
"Don't mind, Young Master Qi is just like that. Where has Brother Huang been recently?"
"It's not a high position. I'm just a senior executive at the Red Alliance's central bank in the City of Stars."
"That's right, it's an important position, I'll have to ask for your continued care in the future."
"No problem."
Huang Jinshuo replied with a smile.
At this moment, there was a noise not far away. Haipeng and Huang Jinshuo turned their heads and saw a group of people in bright and beautiful clothes surrounding an old man wearing a black tall hat, holding a wooden cane in his left hand and wearing a low-key black suit, and a girl of about twelve or thirteen wearing a blue lace dress, greeting them enthusiastically.
"What is that?"
Haipeng asked curiously.
"That old man is Ankarev, the major shareholder of Blue Alliance United Bank. He is the boss who controls the financial order of Blue Alliance. He rarely shows up, but I didn't expect him to show up today. As for the little girl next to him, she seems to be his granddaughter."
Huang Jinshuo narrowed his eyes and said.
When Haipeng heard this, he couldn't help but look at the old man again.
At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard and everyone made way.
Huang Jinshuo and others turned their heads and saw Avabik, Beatrice and others walking in with a murderous look. They went straight towards Ankarev.
When Ankarev saw Avabik, he also took his granddaughter's hand and went up to greet him.
"The people from Ten Books are coming!"
"Sure enough, these giant crocodiles are everywhere."
Haipeng said with great emotion.
"That's for sure, but I guess there are more big guys coming today. It will definitely be very interesting."
Huang Jinshuo became more and more interested.
Sure enough, before Huang Jinshuo finished speaking, an elderly lady holding a fan and wearing all kinds of jewels walked in with a handsome young man.
In the lounge, a very energetic and handsome man suddenly came up to talk to the lady and tried to please her.
The handsome man next to the noble lady had an angry look on his face, but he didn't dare to lose his temper.
Pang Ji looked at the jewels on the noble lady and asked with his eyes lighting up.
"Sir, who is that woman?"
"That woman's name is Bana. She runs a mining and oil business. Don't be fooled by her generosity. She has a lot of bad habits. She has a lot of young men, but few of them can get away unscathed. I heard that most of them were chopped up and fed to dogs."
Huang Jinshuo reminded with a smile.
Pang Ji shuddered suddenly and dispelled those unrealistic fantasies.
"Mr. Huang really has a good eye. What do you think of this auction?"
Haipeng chatted with Huang Jinshuo.
"There will definitely be a lot of good stuff in this auction, but the most attractive one is the treasure that can help you advance to LV5."
Huang Jinshuo narrowed his eyes and said.
"That's right. Normally, we might not even be qualified to see this kind of thing. We are lucky this time."
Haipeng replied with a smile.
At this time, there was a discussion next to them, and several big men from the Blue Alliance were also discussing the LV5 treasure.
"Does anyone know what the treasure that will allow people to advance to LV5 is in this auction?"
"How could I know? To be frank, I don't even know what an Awakener will look like after reaching LV5. Do you know?"
"I don't know either. Maybe his strength will increase dramatically after he advances?"
"It's not just a simple surge, I heard it's possible to become a god after advancing."
“Is that an exaggeration?”
"Then I don't know."
"This raises a question. How can we be sure that the item being auctioned can really help people advance to LV5? What if we are fooled? After all, this item will definitely be sold at a sky-high price."
"I think there will be an introduction, and the organizers will definitely allay our concerns."
“That makes sense.”
…
Haipeng listened to their discussion and chatted with Huang Jinshuo with a smile.
"It seems that this treasure that allows people to advance to LV5 is really popular and in great demand."
"Of course. By the way, Brother Hai, you should have been paying attention to Lord Shen recently, right?"
"Yes! He is doing very well now. The last time I saw him, I didn't dare to go up and say hello, for fear that I would be considered as trying to get close to him."
"Then you should have seen his battle video, right?"
"I saw it, and it was very shocking! That kind of power is simply not something a human should possess."
"Do you think Shen Qiu has the potential to advance to LV5?"
"That's unclear. After all, no one knows what LV5 is, and you have no way to verify it unless Lord Shen Qiu is willing to tell you."
"Too."
Huang Jinshuo smiled and said.
At this time, Shen Qiu walked in with Tang Kexin and others. As soon as they entered the venue, they attracted everyone's attention. Although Shen Qiu was wearing a mask, some people still recognized him with sharp eyes and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Master Shen, you are here too!"
"Sir Shen, I am Long Le, the representative of the Red Alliance Longhui Group. We have met before."
…
"Oh, oh, hello!"
Shen Qiu was also slightly stunned. He didn't expect that he was so popular. So many people came forward to say hello, and many of them were strangers. He had no impression of them at all, but he still responded politely.
At this time, Warhammer Group Avabik and others all looked at Shen Qiu.
"That troublemaker is here too."
Madeley snorted coldly.
"What are you afraid of? If today we are competing in combat power, then Shen Qiu is indeed a big trouble. But today we are competing for money. Even if ten of him are added together, they are no match for us."
Theta Corporation's president, Bicas, replied with disdain.
"You can't be so sure. Shen Qiu is very special. Look at his equipment. It's very good. The saber on his waist is LV5, and the ring on his hand is also LV5. Without strong financial resources, how could he get so many good things?"
Beatrice said with a gleam in her eyes.
Madeley's face looked very ugly. He did not refute Beatrice's words. He really wanted to complain about Shen Qiu. This guy had just extorted a large sum of money from them.
But Madeley still restrained himself. If he told this matter, not only would it be embarrassing, but he would also be aiding the enemy.
At this time Avabik said in a cold voice.
"Don't worry about it. He is just an independent person. No matter how evil he is, his financial resources are limited. We should pay attention to the eight major families of the Red Alliance, especially the Long Family and the Bai Family."
"Understood."
Beatrice and others nodded in response.
At this time, Shen Qiu spent a lot of effort and finally sent away those people who greeted him enthusiastically.
He was just about to take a breath when a middle-aged woman in white traditional clothing came over with a little boy with a broken arm and greeted him warmly.
"Lord Shen."
"Who are you?"
Shen Qiu looked at the middle-aged woman and boy in front of him with confusion.
Shen Qiu was slightly stunned, and then the middle-aged woman in front of him immediately introduced herself.
"Introduce myself, I'm Donna, the head of the White Relief Society."
"Hello, who is this?"
Shen Qiu looked at the boy's missing arm and asked in confusion.
"His name is Ayo. He is a child that our relief organization just rescued. He is very pitiful. He originally had a happy family, but the town he lived in was occupied. His parents, brothers, sisters, and relatives all died overnight. This child is also very lucky. He fled with the refugees..."
Donna tearfully recounted Ayo's tragic experience.
Ayue looked at Shen Qiu eagerly.
“It’s pretty miserable.”
Shen Qiu replied with emotion. He felt a little empathy at this moment, after all, he had also come from an orphanage.
Chen Ye looked at this scene and spoke to Qi Dong in a low voice.
"Boss, I've been tricked."
Qi Dong stared at Chen Ye with his eyes wide open.
At this time, Donna immediately expressed her sincere feelings and made a request to Shen Qiu.
"Master Shen Qiu, the number of refugees that the White Relief Society has to rescue every day is too high and our funding has been cut off. Could you please generously lend a helping hand?"
Shen Qiu was also stunned after hearing this, then turned to Chen Ye and asked.
"You know this relief society?"
After hearing this, Chen Ye hurried forward and replied.
"I've heard of it, it has a good reputation."
"Okay, then I'll donate 1 million Blue Alliance coins."
Shen Qiu didn't think any more about it and just donated a little as a token of his appreciation.
"Thank you so much."
Donna's expression froze slightly, but she still responded with gratitude.
However, just when Shen Qiu was transferring the money, a group of people surrounded him enthusiastically. Some of these people were wearing cross uniforms, and some were wearing suits and ties.
They were like bees finding nectar, surrounding Shen Qiu and speaking enthusiastically.
"Master Shen Qiu, I am Adamo, the publicity ambassador of the World Relief Association..."
"Master Shen Qiu, I am from the Mutual Assistance Association..."
…
"Master Shen Qiu, there are constant disasters outside and monsters are rampant. Countless people are suffering every day and struggling on the brink of death. Please lend a generous hand."
"Sir, you don't know how miserable the refugee settlements outside are. According to statistics, a child dies every second due to lack of medicine. In the ten seconds I've been talking to you, a dozen lovely children have died..."
…
Shen Qiu was suddenly confused by being surrounded by them.
At the same time, several reporters holding portable interview equipment immediately came over to start recording the broadcast.
"Everyone, look, the Third Star Envoy, Lord Shen Qiu, is concerned about the people affected by the disaster and is negotiating with various charitable organizations about donations and relief..."
…
"I… "
Shen Qiu was dumbfounded.
Tang Kexin looked at this scene and her smile became even brighter.
Hai Peng and Huang Jinshuo in the distance were having an interesting conversation.
"These fundraisers are really capable. Not only can they enter the VIP lounge, but they can also make Shen Qiu lose his temper."
"For such a big auction, fundraising is inevitable. But these days, life is tough for everyone. Organizers are not willing to pay, but they still have to give these organizations some face, otherwise it will be difficult to make a small contribution."
"So, just let them in?"
"That's right. Everyone here is a well-known person. If you get entangled with them, you will bleed a little. Just think of it as gaining a good reputation."
"Too."
Haipeng replied with interest.
Just when Shen Qiu was getting extremely frustrated, Tang Kexin stood beside Shen Qiu and spoke to everyone with a very heavy expression.
"Everyone please be quiet."
For a moment, everyone surrounding Shen Qiu fell silent.
Tang Kexin continued at this time.
"When Lord Shen heard what you said, he felt deeply saddened for those compatriots who were suffering. However, due to his limited ability, he could only do his best. On behalf of Lord Shen, I will donate 1 million Blue Alliance coins to each organization present."
"Thank you, Lord Shen."
Everyone present expressed their gratitude.
Of course, the people from smaller organizations were very satisfied, but the people from larger organizations felt that the donations were too little. But since everyone was equally treated, the others didn’t say anything and couldn’t say much, so they could only stop while they were ahead.
"Then let's go."
Tang Kexin said with a smile.
"Goodbye, Master Shen!"
The fundraisers present dispersed.
"Huh~ Ke Xin did a good job."
Shen Qiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; he finally got rid of them.
"Senior, have you forgotten what I used to do? I used to be a good fundraiser. This is nothing. But since we ran into each other, you will definitely have to pay a little bit given your status."
"In fact, it's no big deal to donate, but there's a high probability that the effect won't be very good."
"What the senior said is right, but most people here don't care whether the donation is effective or not. They just want a good reputation. These people are also returning the favor."
Tang Kexin said with a smile.
"Um."
Shen Qiu nodded.
At this time, there was another commotion at the entrance, and Shen Qiu and the others immediately turned their heads to look over there.
Bai Lin was seen walking in with his hands behind his back, wearing a black gentleman's suit, his pale braid tied around his waist.
Bai Mucheng, who was following on Bai Lin's left, was wearing a plain white dress. A star orchid was pinned on her long light blue hair that looked like a waterfall, and she was wearing a white faceless metal mask.
Yunkong, Chu Wei and others followed on Bai Lin's right side.
The lounge, which had been somewhat quiet, suddenly became lively, with many people talking excitedly.
"The eight major factions of the Red Alliance are beginning to enter."
"The most important thing is that Bai Lin is here in person. I heard that guy is very rich. He can compete with Juben."
"Today's auction will definitely be very lively and there will be something exciting to watch."
…
When Shen Qiu saw Bai Mucheng following Bai Lin into the venue, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect Bai Mucheng to also participate.
At this time Bai Mucheng also saw Shen Qiu, but she just nodded slightly to Shen Qiu and did not step forward to greet him.
As for Bai Lin, he noticed Shen Qiu was there the moment he entered the door, but he simply ignored him.
After all, Shen Qiu didn't even come up to greet him, so he wouldn't lower himself to greet him.
At this time in the lounge, many big figures of the Red Alliance surrounded Bai Lin and others and greeted them enthusiastically.
"Lord Bai Lin, Vice President Yun Kong, Lord Chu Wei..."
Bai Lin and others did not act pretentiously in the face of these enthusiastic people, but responded to their greetings one by one.
Although each of these people is not as powerful as the eight major families, they are all big figures in their own area and have great influence. Their cooperation is needed in many things.
Just as Shen Qiu was looking at Bai Lin and others, a surprised voice rang out.
"Shen Qiu."
Shen Qiu turned his head and saw Wang Hao walking towards him happily with his arms open, then gave him a big hug.
"Wang Hao! You're here too."
"How can I not come to such a grand event? But then again, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Well, it's been a while since we last met after the Star Envoy Trials. I heard that you went back to the City of Glory. Are you doing okay?"
"What do you think? I haven't had a good night's sleep since the Red Alliance's retreat plan began. It was only after the Xiguang Underground City was built that I was able to catch my breath and come back to life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have seen me today."
Wang Hao said with great emotion.
"Too."
Shen Qiu replied with a smile.
At this time, a bright-looking woman with waist-length golden hair and a well-fitting blue uniform walked to the front of the lounge. She saluted everyone present and began to speak.
"Dear distinguished guests, the auction site is now open. You can choose to go to the A1 and A2 VIP seats, or you can choose to rest here for a while."
"You can enter now. We are ready to go in. Wang Hao, are you leaving?"
After listening to this, Shen Qiu asked Wang Hao.
"You go in first. My father and the others haven't arrived yet. I'll wait a moment."
Wang Hao waved to Shen Qiu.
"Okay, see you later."
Shen Qiu led Chen Ye and others towards the entrance.
At the same time, almost three quarters of the people in the entire lounge also chose to enter first.
A moment later, Shen Qiu and his companions walked out of the exclusive passage and arrived at the A1 and A2 VIP seating areas. When they looked out at the huge arena, they were all shocked by the scene before them.
In the huge Starry Sky Arena, except for the A1 and A2 VIP seating areas which were both empty, all other areas were almost full of people, and some aisles even had people standing.
The popularity of the entire arena was off the charts, even higher than the popularity of the Star Envoy Selection Tournament.
“There are so many people!”
Chen Ye and the others were stunned.
"Senior, judging by this scale, I guess all the wealthy people in the three alliances are here."
Tang Kexin said with admiration.
"Almost, but I don't understand why they called so many people here. The things they bid on are so expensive, and in the end, the ones competing for them are still those at the top of the pyramid."
Shen Qiu was also very confused about this.
"Then I don't know. After all, it's very hard to guess what the upper echelons are thinking. Maybe it's just to create momentum."
Tang Kexin replied with a smile.
"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Let's find a place to sit down."
Shen Qiu took Tang Kexin and the others to the front row of A2 VIP seats. Although there were no fixed seats here, everyone entering was in tacit understanding.
People from the Blue Alliance go to seat A1, and if they think they are of high status they can sit in the front row. People from the Red Alliance go to seat A2, and their positions are the same.
As for the Gray Alliance members, most of them sit behind the A1 seats, although a small number of them sit in the front.
It didn't take long before Shen Qiu and others took their seats. He chose the third row instead of the front row.
At this time, Bai Lin and the others also entered, and as expected, they sat in the front row.
Shen Qiu looked at his bracelet. There was still half an hour until ten o'clock. The atmosphere was becoming more and more lively, and everyone was discussing.
"Do you think there will be other great items in this auction, besides the much-rumored LV5 promotion treasure?"
"I think there must be one, but I don't know who will buy it."
…
Shen Qiu waited patiently. Time passed little by little, and soon there were only five minutes left before the start.
He looked around and a look of confusion appeared on his face. He felt a little strange that Long Er, Wu Di and the others had not arrived yet.
Didn't they say they would come to participate? But why didn't they see anyone
Just when Shen Qiu was wondering, he found that not only Long Er and the others were not there, but also Speaker of the Oroco Council was not seen at the scene. He was the one who promoted this auction, so he should have been present.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the scene. Shen Qiu looked up and saw Ogusa, Nosavega, and many Star Department personnel entering the venue. They dispersed to various areas of the arena.
He personally sat in charge of the A1 and A2 VIP areas, which gave people a sense of security.
At this time, all 24 fighting platforms in the center of the Starry Sky Arena were merged together.
The next second, the artificial intelligence Selni appeared on the arena in a gorgeous long dress. She saluted everyone elegantly and intellectually.
"Hello everyone! Welcome to the Starry Sky Arena to participate in the Starlight Auction held by the City of Stars. I am the artificial intelligence Selni. Now I declare the opening ceremony of the Starlight Auction officially open."
As the voice of artificial intelligence Serni fell.
At this moment, the holographic virtual amplification device was activated, and the huge fighting stage in front of him instantly turned into a dazzling stage.
At this time, pleasant music accompaniment sounded at the scene, followed by a woman wearing a white pleated long skirt, with a graceful figure, fair skin and beautiful appearance, singing a heavenly voice and walking out with light steps.
The huge crowd at the scene suddenly became excited, and countless cheers echoed in the huge starry sky arena.
"Miss Abella!"
…
“So popular?”
Shen Qiu was also a little surprised when he looked at the woman in front of him.
"Boss, you are out of date. You don't even know her. She is a world-class treasure star. She has always been committed to charity and rescue. She is a bit similar to Tang Kexin. However, Tang Kexin's influence was limited to the Red Alliance at that time, but she is a world-class..."
Chen Ye had just finished speaking when he saw Tang Kexin giving him a sweet smile. His expression suddenly froze and he quickly shut his mouth.
"It's not surprising to be out of date. We spend most of our time in the other world, and when we come back to the Internet, we only pay attention to strategic information."
Shen Qiu didn't think anything of it.
"What the seniors said is right, and the seniors don't need to pay attention to them. The seniors themselves are the most dazzling stars."
Tang Kexin said with a smile.
"Ahem, it's okay."
Shen Qiu coughed, feeling a little uncomfortable being praised by Tang Kexin.
Not long after, Miss Abella finished singing the opening song. She bowed to everyone and then spoke to everyone.
“Dear friends, I am honored and happy to be invited by the Speaker of the Oroco Council to sing for everyone at the opening ceremony. I sincerely hope that everyone can support this auction, because most of the funds raised from this auction will be used to build the underground city and accommodate those compatriots who have lost their homes. I would like to thank you all here.”
After Miss Abela finished her speech, she bowed to everyone present.
Bang!
There was warm applause at the scene.
At this time, artificial intelligence Cerny appeared on the stage, and Miss Abella then left gracefully.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the opening ceremony is over. I now declare the auction officially open. The entire auction will be divided into two rounds. The first half will be from now until 6pm, and the second half will start after 6pm."
Artificial intelligence Selney officially announced.
Shen Qiu was also confused after hearing this, as the auction was divided into two rounds.
However, as the artificial intelligence Selney raised her hand and snapped her fingers, Shen Qiu and others widened their eyes.
On the huge fighting arena, projections of equipment appeared neatly, reaching hundreds of thousands of pieces.
"OMG!"
Everyone present was stunned.
Shen Qiu's eyelids were twitching wildly. Although he had thought that this auction might be shocking, he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.
Hundreds of thousands of pieces of equipment were presented at the same time. Although at a glance many of these equipment were embedded in circular modules, they were still modular equipment no matter how rubbish they were.
At this moment, Shen Qiu suddenly realized why the auction today was so abnormal, inviting so many ordinary rich people. The Blue Alliance and the Red Alliance were planning to make a big profit, and they wanted to sell a large number of equipment in exchange for money.
For a moment, Shen Qiu was somewhat glad that he had dealt with the equipment in advance.
With so much equipment released, the modular equipment market will definitely be hit hard.
Of course, this also indirectly shows that the Red Alliance and the Blue Alliance are really short of money, otherwise they would not be willing to take out such a large amount of equipment.
These equipments can fully equip several ace legions.
"Wow, that's amazing. Shen Qiu, how many worlds did they plunder to get so much equipment?"
Angie secretly popped his head out and whispered to Shen Qiu in shock.
"countless."
Shen Qiu took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
This is how Artificial Intelligence Cerny was introduced to everyone.
"Everyone, since there are so many equipment for sale, you can just raise your hands to call up the virtual operation interface to select the equipment you want. You can also conduct a 360-degree all-round observation. If you are satisfied, you can directly place an order for the equipment. If two people like the same equipment at the same time, you can bid higher to top the price of the other person. After the first round of bidding, the one with the higher bid will get the equipment. Finally, I would like to say that there are not many opportunities to buy equipment at a fair price with money. I hope you can seize the opportunity and buy what you like."
