In the auction hall, the guests have already arrived.
Each guest will be given a gorgeous mask before entering the venue. For this mask, all the guests will happily take it and put them on their faces. For a while, the entire auction venue looks like a fancy dress party. a feeling of.
Front desk, the auction has started.
All the good goods that are usually not released easily have been released this time, and Pei Ze vowed to make this auction the last and largest auction.
In the background, one after another auction item is undergoing final inspection and decoration, trying to appear in front of buyers in the most perfect state.
"Change him to that silver-white robe with a lot of broken diamonds on it!"
"The temperament of this body is very gorgeous, and it is very suitable for the kind of clothes that ordinary people dare not wear!"
The prison guards who turned into staff shuttled back and forth in the background, everyone seemed to be busy, and the most busy of them was the "dresser" in the center, who was dressing up the items that were about to appear on the auction table. Pretty, looks more valuable, that's their job.
The clothes that Rong Gui was originally wearing were first rejected by him, and he took off the original clothes, and he had someone bring a gorgeous broken diamond robe for Rong Gui to put on.
The sparkling diamonds instantly lit up his complexion, making every inch of his skin look crystal clear.
"The cheeks are so pale that they need a little powder, um... just a little bit, his skin is already very good, and he doesn't need extra touch-ups."
"Wig? This black hair didn't look very pleasing to the eye at first, but after looking at it for a longer time, it turned out to be unexpectedly attractive. It remains the same, but it can be embellished with some diamonds, which can make the black look more dynamic."
"The lips are a little pale, it's best to use a diamond lip stud."
"What? Don't accept piercings? Then put diamonds on your lips."
The makeup artist is in charge of the command, and under his skillful hands, the charm of Ronggui's body is fully excavated! At the end, even the makeup artist who was decorating other auction items couldn't help but ran over to watch.
"Too, beautiful, too!" Everyone was shocked when they saw the final product!
The originally simple short hair was twisted into pieces by the makeup artist. The bangs were slightly messy, but soft and docile scattered on the forehead. The jet black hair looked so simple, but it was so suitable for young people. Make youth look vulnerable and beautiful.
Due to being in the freezer for too long, the youth's body... eh, except for being thin, there is almost no body at all. The original clothes are not bad, but this is not bad because the youth is really good-looking, and any clothes On the basis of being able to be dressed well by him, his temperament can support any gorgeous clothes, so the makeup artist simply took a dress that was so gorgeous that he couldn't find a suitable auction item and put it on him. , Sure enough, this clothes that ordinary people can't easily wear is very suitable for young people! The diamonds made him look more luxurious, and the tight and leaky robe not only perfectly covered the young man's thin body, but also added a touch of abstinence to him.
Not only others, but even Ronggui himself looked dumbfounded.
Once, he dreamed that one day a professional make-up artist could help him with makeup, styling, wearing the most gorgeous costumes, and then on the biggest stage, all the audience outside came for him, and sang the first song with a microphone At one note, crazy fans can even faint from being too excited…
Now, his dream seems to have come true. He has indeed been carefully dressed up by a professional makeup artist, and he is about to be pushed onto a huge stage with a black crowd on the opposite side.
However-
That stage was not a stage for performances, but an auction stage; those people outside were not his fans, but guests who came to bid for his body.
And he's not a singer, just a poor, soon-to-be auctioned item.
"I have a hunch that this body can fetch an astonishingly high price." The makeup artist in charge of Ronggui's body murmured.
"40 million, what is the reserve price?"
He said, turning his head to ask Ronggui's opinion.
"Wow", the surrounding makeup artists all gasped, showing that the price is already very high.
Generally, auction items with a reserve price of 40 million can be sold at a reserve price of hundreds of millions after bidding! That's an amazing price!
The makeup artist said, thinking that Ronggui would agree to this price, who knows—
Ronggui shook his head and refused.
"The qualification to go to Sky City or the equivalent currency to buy the qualification to go to Sky City, this is my reserve price, and I will not sell it below this price."
"What? Do you really think your body is a rare item? It's amazing that an ordinary biological auction item can be auctioned at this price—" This time it was the turn of the make-up artist in charge of honor to take a breath.
"The appearance is just an add-on, the real value of this body is the voice." Saying that, Ronggui pinched his body with his hands.
When the body was in pain, Ronggui's body instinctively let out a scream.
The sound was fleeting, but it was enough for everyone present to hear it.
"A gorgeous antique doll with an incredible voice." The makeup artist said, replacing the original definition with this line of words.
By the way, he originally defined Ronggui's body as "a gorgeous antique doll with a mysterious temperament".
"Okay, now the people who want to bid on you are not only antique lovers, but also those big bosses who are eager to make stars."
"The entertainment industry in Sky City is extremely developed, and there should be many rich people who will be interested in your body."
He said, updating all the introductions of Ronggui's body.
"But—" the makeup artist turned to look at Ronggui: "Does the owner of this body you auctioned... have any deep hatred with you?"
"It's good not to mention the sound. This body can probably be displayed as an antique in a rich man's house, or in an ancient museum, and it can be used as an exhibit in such a calm manner until it is damaged."
"However, you mentioned the voice, so if those big bosses in the entertainment industry took you, even if you declared in advance that you would not sell it retail, the other party might find a way to study the body, possibly causing damage. Sexuality...and maybe..."
"This... is my own body." Ronggui pursed his lips and said after a while, "It doesn't matter, as long as this can be sold at the price I want..."
His voice was not loud, just enough for the makeup artist to hear it alone.
"Never mind." Turning his head suddenly, the makeup artist resumed his business-like attitude.
"If it's today, maybe you can really sell the price you want. Several guests who don't usually come here heard that this is the last auction, so they came here on purpose~"
"If a few of them are interested in you, selling your ideal price is really not a problem."
"Have you made up your mind? If so, I'll send this auction item out." He added another line to the relevant introduction, and the makeup artist asked Rong Gui.
"Well... Well, if the selling price can be a little higher, you can sell the qualifications for Sky City... Plus the money for a high-level freezer would be even better..." Rong Gui whispered.
The makeup artist squinted at him: "I'll make the decision. I just have a high-level freezer here that can be used to decorate auction items. As long as your body sells at an ideal price, I'll give you that freezer. "
"Ah... Is this okay?" Ronggui immediately looked at the other party.
"Nothing is impossible, anyway, I can get a commission on the money you sell yourself." The other party said cheerfully.
Then, Ronggui was even calmer.
Nodding his head, he said softly, "Then, I'll confirm it, please take my body to auction."
Ronggui said, his hand lightly placed on the back of Xiaomei, who was bound and airtight.
There, at the position near the shoulder blades, the two drums kept shaking regularly, one after the other, as if something was about to penetrate Xiaomei's flesh and blood...
This is Xiaomei's time.
Xiaomei doesn't have much time.
"Are you going to stay here to watch the auction?" the makeup artist asked him again.
"If possible." Ronggui nodded.
"Come here, I know a good position." He waved at him, and the makeup artist led him to the more front desk.
Sitting on a high prop box, Ronggui saw his radiant appearance on the "stage".
At the same time, he also heard the gasping sound of countless viewers seeing him in the dark.
The entire auction hall was boiling, just for his simple appearance.
It's not quite the same as the first stage I imagined, but it seems that it's not bad...
Rong Gui thought to himself, one hand was on his thigh, and the other hand was lightly on Xiaomei.
The location is so good, it's almost directly behind his freezer, so the audience on the opposite side reacts like it's directed at him.
Ronggui imagined himself standing on the stage.
Then-
"The next auction item is a gorgeous antique doll with an incredible voice." The auctioneer relentlessly read out his current state.
"The lineage can be traced back as far as a thousand years ago. The unknown lineage has been frozen in the freezer and has been soaked in advanced nutrient solution, and the intracranial lesions have been removed."
"No splits, no retail sales, sellers only accept whole purchases."
"Next is the auction display time."
…
Then, Ronggui watched his body, like an object, enlarged by the projection lamp, and then enlarged, and displayed on the screen in front of each audience.
Having participated in a similar auction with Purda once, he knew what would happen to him.
There is no privacy, all data is published in front of everyone, just like an item, it is an item.
But so what
He is a 360-degree beautiful man with no dead ends~ He is not afraid to look at it at all!
In the face of everyone's rude look, Ronggui actually laughed.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled smugly.
"…According to the rules of our auction, while introducing the advantages of the auction items, we will also inform the shortcomings of the auction items, and it is up to the buyer to decide whether to buy it." Outside, the auctioneer continued to introduce.
"… The internal organs of this auction item are too backward to be transplanted, and the brain volume is too small to be transplanted as a whole. Although it has an incredible sound, it is not suitable for external transplant... "
This is what the makeup artist added later. It doesn't sound good, and it seems that it will make his body unsellable, but in fact, these remarks enhance the possibility of maintaining his physical integrity. Based on this, Ronggui is grateful to him.
Then, he quietly listened to the auctioneer's introduction of his advantages.
And then, the auction begins—
"The reserve price, a occupancy certificate leading to Sky City, or an equivalent amount of money!"
The lion opened the bidding price, and there was another commotion outside the venue.
"The price is outrageous!"
"What are you kidding?"
Ronggui immediately heard a dissatisfied protest from a buyer.
"Don't pay attention to them, anyone who would say that is not a buyer." Then, the makeup artist sitting beside him whispered.
Sure enough, soon-
"300 million general currency, to buy the occupancy certificate of Sky City, this money should be enough?" In the darkness, Rong Gui saw a sign light up from the front.
The non-existent heart seemed to be thumping, and he excitedly clenched Xiaomei's hand through the bandage.
However, the things that made him excited were not over yet. Soon, another person raised his placard:
"400 million, 300 million is just the market price, it's still far away..."
"450 million!" The man before immediately raised his placard again.
"500 million." Still the second person.
When it comes to the auction of such a really high-priced product, the competitors are indeed very limited, but as long as someone is willing to bid, the deal can be done!
His big black eyes lit up, and Rong Gui clenched his fist.
Then, he watched the only two bidders continue to compete with each other, and the price went higher and higher, and finally reached a number that made the audience boil!
until-
"In the last three seconds, does anyone ask for a higher price? If not... 3, 2, 1—" Just before the hammer in the auctioneer's hand fell.
Another voice came from the auditorium: "A Sky City admission qualification certificate, plus 50 million general currency."
As soon as these words came out, the originally boiling auction scene suddenly fell silent.
There are many people who can afford the money to buy a qualification certificate, but not many people who can directly give an admission qualification certificate.
Even the auctioneer was stunned, and then the next second, he started to time again.
"May I ask if someone offers a higher price, if not, 3, 2, 1—"
This time, no one stopped him, and the small hammer in the auctioneer's hand fell steadily.
Got it - Ronggui just said aloud to himself in his heart, and then:
"The person who handed over the items is here." The makeup artist's voice rang softly in his ear. Under his signal, Ronggui saw a man in a silver-white robe walking towards him. Immediately, he saw himself The freezer compartment was also pushed over.
The other party looked over his body as if inspecting the goods, and finally nodded.
"Okay, the freezer can be closed. Do you want to close it yourself or do we help you?" Ronggui continued to hear the makeup artist's voice.
However, at this moment, he felt that he could not see the figure of the other party.
The surroundings seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and everything became unreal.
The surrounding voices also became unreal.
"I'll do it myself." Ronggui heard himself say.
Then, he saw his robotic hand gently touching himself in the freezer, sliding through his hair for the last time, and tidying up the messy collar for himself for the last time, he carefully sorted himself for the last time It was clean and tidy, and finally, the lid of the freezer was gently closed.
"Okay." He heard his own voice.
Then, the man opposite handed him a card and a small round card.
The thing you've been dreaming of is here...
Ronggui took the thing stiffly and held it tightly, he held his hand tightly.
Then, he looked at the man who handed these things to him, and then started to carry the freezer containing his body.
Realizing that this was probably his last chance to see his own body, Ronggui's eyes were not separated from his body for a moment.
At the same time, he meditated in his heart:
Ah Fu, my body is healed~ Thank you for buying me the time to wait.
Thank you for the time you bought me to meet Xiaomei.
However, I am giving up my body now.
But it doesn't matter, I have a very good mechanical body, which Xiaomei made for me!
It is precisely because I know that as long as there is a chance to wait, everything may be hopeful, so this time, no matter what, I also want to buy Xiaomei some waiting time.
Even if it's only fifteen days? Even if it's not even fifteen days, what about ten days
Maybe, in those ten days, Xiaomei, just like me at that time, waited for another Xiaomei!
Any waiting will never be meaningless.
Even if... it's me now, I need to get rid of this body.
However, I really want Xiaomei to have time to wait!
You must have thought so at the time, didn't you
Looking at his body so hard, Ronggui watched as his body was handed over.
Then-
"Okay, are you rich now? Transfer 30 million to me, and I'll give you the high-grade freezer in my hand at the average market price." The makeup artist spoke again.
"Okay." Looking back, Ronggui quickly took out the pass and matched it with the card drawn by the makeup artist. He swiped a huge amount of money that he had never swiped to the other party.
"This high-level freezer is yours." The other party was very refreshing. When he confirmed the payment, he pushed the freezer that he had taken out long ago to Ronggui, and even found that Ronggui was not strong enough to hold Xiaomei. When he carried Xiaomei's body into the freezer, he took the initiative to help.
However, just when Xiaomei's body was put into the freezer, there was a sudden commotion outside.
"What's going on?" The makeup artist frowned. He just stood up and was about to go out to see what was going on when suddenly—
The opponent's rather tall body fell down without warning.
"Warning! Poisonous gas! Warning! Poisonous gas!" At the same time, the alarm in Ronggui's body sounded frantically.
Looking at the panicked crowd around, the masked guests fell into a frantic escape, while the unmasked jailers fell one after another, Ronggui stood up and stood blankly for a while, and then, soon, a Whispering grass and a bag of fertilizer poured over the makeup artist, who himself closed the freezer lid.
With difficulty, Rong Gui dragged Xiaomei to the outside of the auction venue—
