A Mosquito
"I remember that today should be the first day of the Super Auction. I wonder if anything good will appear?" Xia Fei asked.
Mosquito was just about to answer when he suddenly turned to look at Monkey, seemingly afraid that he would be slapped if he spoke. Poor Mosquito, who was the only one among these scions who had studied for a few days, had always been the punching bag for everyone, and he did not dare to resist.
"Brother Xia Fei, you'll know if you take a look at yesterday's auction catalog. After all, it's only the first day of the auction, and the truly high-grade items haven't appeared yet," Mosquito cautiously said.
* Pa! *
"Nonsense!" Monkey slapped Mosquito on the head again. "If Brother Xia Fei could see for himself, there's no need for you to nag at him."
Everyone burst into laughter, and Xia Fei was somewhat unhappy. The behavior of these scions was very irritating.
"Monkey, Mosquito's right. Why did you hit him?"
Monkey shrugged indifferently. "Do I need a reason to hit Mosquito? I hit him when he's buzzing around. "
Mosquito had a good temper, not getting angry even after being slapped for no reason. He kept saying that it was fine.
Xia Fei deliberately coughed twice. "If they were enemies, I wouldn't say anything. You just have to hit them hard! Hit them to death! If you can't kill them, hit them again! But Mosquito is still my brother. That day, when we clashed with the people from the Monastic Order, Mosquito charged forward without any regard for his own safety. Would anyone else do the same?
"We're all warriors, and in battle, we can only be at ease if we leave our backs to our brothers. When it comes to a critical moment of life and death, those people who usually look so impressive can't be relied on. We can only rely on our brothers to fight together. No one knows how many enemies a person will have in life, but there are only so many brothers, so we shouldn't disappoint our brothers."
Xia Fei spoke very seriously, and everyone was somewhat moved. Monkey nodded and extended a hand. "Brother Mosquito, big brother won't hit you again."
…
Xia Fei did not know if Monkey would continue to bully Mosquito for fun in the future. In any case, it was fine as long as he did not bully him in front of him. These scions had lived like this for many years, and they were already used to it.
Not long after returning to his room, he heard a knock on the door. Opening it, he saw Mosquito bashfully standing there.
"Brother Xia Fei, didn't you want to know about the auction? I've sent you the information this time. "Mosquito said.
Xia Fei invited Mosquito in to take a seat. "I was just about to ask the concierge for this information. The information for the carnival isn't connected to the interplanetary internet, so it's very inconvenient."
"The carnival is a secret gathering, so how can the information be put on the public interplanetary internet? I just happen to have a detailed list of the items being auctioned and traded. Big bro Xia Fei, take it," Mosquito said.
Xia Fei took the thick stack of documents and casually flipped through a few pages. He discovered that Mosquito had already made a very detailed explanation on this list. All the high-grade auction items had been labeled, including their origin, rarity, and even their past transaction prices, so that he could easily calculate the true value of each item.
"Did you do all of this?" Xia Fei was surprised. "Such a detailed list must have taken you quite some time, right?"
Mosquito blushed and nodded. "In truth, it didn't take that long. In any case, I didn't have anything to do, so I took the opportunity to organize it."
Xia Fei heartily laughed as he hugged Mosquito. "Brother, you've helped me a lot this time. If I had to organize all of this myself, I don't know how long it would have taken me. Besides, I'm not too willing to do the paperwork."
Suddenly.
Xia Fei felt that something was very wrong. Mosquito's body was very hot, and his face was as red as a ripe apple. His head was lowered, and he felt very uncomfortable.
All Xia Fei knew about Mosquito was that he always wore a baseball cap and uncouth sportswear. Because he was young, skinny, and had a gentle personality, he got the nickname Mosquito.
Xia Fei took off his glasses and placed a hand on Mosquito's forehead. "You don't have a fever, do you? Eh? It's a little hot? Why did your body temperature suddenly rise? "
Xia Fei glanced at Mosquito's face and saw that after taking off his large black glasses, Mosquito actually had a rather delicate face. He had a small nose and mouth, and his skin was unbelievably fair and delicate.
* Zing! *
Mosquito let out a strange cry and jumped up. He stammered, "I'm fine. I'm fine. It's late. I-I should go back."
Xia Fei stood up and smiled at him. "Drink some water when you go back. I have some medical knowledge, so if you still have any fever symptoms, come and find me."
Mosquito nodded at Xia Fei, hurriedly opened the door, and ran away with a red face.
"How strange. Why did my temperature suddenly rise by several degrees? Could it be some kind of special illness? "Xia Fei muttered to himself as he watched Mosquito leave.
"Idiot," Phantom muttered behind Xia Fei for no reason.
Xia Fei angrily asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"Of course I'm talking about you. You're usually smarter than anyone, but you're still an idiot," Phantom relentlessly said.
…
Regardless, Mosquito's information was a great help to Xia Fei. In this world where information was highly developed, Xia Fei felt very uncomfortable participating in a traditional trade fair like this. After all, modern people had long since become inseparable from the internet, and they were already used to searching the interplanetary internet for everything.
Early in the morning, Xia Fei woke up early and went to the auction reception center on Thirteen Pearl Island. This was where participants would submit their items for auction. If someone wanted to auction off their item, they would need to show their pass and the item they wanted to auction off. Of course, an auction of this level needed to be of a higher level, and the organizers of the trade fair would not accept any ordinary items.
There were several young ladies dressed in ancient attire standing at the front desk, and a few people were sitting on the sofa in the hall, ready to participate in the auction. Since every item needed to be appraised by experts, there were three appraisal rooms next door. Everyone took a number and waited there, waiting for the professionals to arrange the appraisal and auction matters.
"Greetings, sir. May I know how I can help you?" A young lady with a ponytail came up to Xia Fei, using the same greeting that had never changed in ten thousand years.
Xia Fei took out the pass that Yuchi Dao had given him from his spatial ring and handed it over. "I have a few items that I'd like to auction off at the trade fair."
The lady took the pass with both hands and glanced at it before carefully handing it back to Xia Fei. "So you're an honored guest of The Brotherhood. Please follow me."
Though Yuchi Dao was not a trustworthy person, he was still a reputable member of The Brotherhood. Xia Fei naturally received preferential treatment for bringing his pass here. Xia Fei did not know what this black metal token meant, so he accepted this special treatment with a peace of mind.
However, a few sighs could be heard from the people waiting to submit their items for auction. Becoming an honored guest of The Brotherhood at such a young age was bound to attract the envy and jealousy of others.
The lady with the ponytail led Xia Fei through a corridor to a secluded and unadorned room. She handed Xia Fei a cup of tea and a freshly printed list of items for auction. "Please wait a moment. Our chief appraiser, Mr. Xu, is currently attending to other clients and will be here shortly."
Xia Fei did not mind, taking the list and casually flipping through it. New items would appear at the auction every day, so the list would be updated every day.
Not long after, an elderly man walked into the room. When he saw the young Xia Fei, he was first taken aback, and then he unhappily asked, "Is there a mistake? He's Guipin's client? "
"Absolutely. A black three-star pass." The lady with the ponytail nodded and replied.
Though this question and answer were spoken softly, Xia Fei still heard it clearly, and he inwardly felt somewhat vexed. 'Why do I keep running into people who judge a book by its cover wherever I go?'
The elderly man had the ponytail lady close the door. He took a pocket-sized detector and sat across from Xia Fei.
"May I ask, sir, what item would you like to auction off? The items auctioned off by The Brotherhood must be of high quality. We mustn't tarnish The Brotherhood's reputation. "
Xia Fei did not bat an eyelid. He took out a comprehensive video system left behind from his spatial ring and placed it on the table.
"Oh, this is an all-purpose information control unit produced in ancient times. This item can be put up for auction," the elderly man casually said.
"Aren't you going to inspect it?"
"There's no need. Please trust in my professional judgment," the elderly man confidently said.
Xia Fei once more reached into his spatial ring.
* Pa! *
Xia Fei placed a fist-sized Purple Heart of Spirit on the table.
The elderly man was startled, and he hurriedly took out a pair of gloves to show his seriousness. He then gently picked up the ore and placed it in front of him for inspection.
"A Heart of Spirit! A Purple Heart of Spirit! This size, this purity … it's simply impeccable! High-grade! It's definitely high-grade! "the elderly man said in a slightly hoarse voice.
Things were not over yet. Xia Fei took out a second Purple Heart of Spirit and placed it on the table.
This time, it was half the size of the first one, and its color was even purer.
The old man's jaw dropped in shock. Purple Hearts of Spirit were incredibly precious, and the bigger one was, the harder it was to find them. Xia Fei being able to take out two Purple Hearts of Spirit at once was a shocking display of generosity, and he was already beginning to regret underestimating Xia Fei.
By the time the third Purple Heart of Spirit was placed on the table, the elderly man was on the verge of going crazy!
This was because this ore was almost the size of a soccer ball, and it did not have a single impurity. It was so pure that it could be used as transparent glass!
