The auction continued to proceed in a chaotic and subtle state. All sorts of useful and useless items were auctioned off, but most of them had a certain commemorative value. However, regardless of whether it was the auctioneer or the bidders, they were all a bit absent-minded. So much so that the heat couldn't be stirred up. The rate of unauctioned items was clearly higher than normal.
Under this sort of atmosphere, it was quite normal for one or two unauctioned items to be auctioned off.
"Kenta Toyama is probably beating his chest and stamping his feet. They gave you such a good excuse in vain …."
"They just think so." Bai Xinyan rested her chin on Zhang Yingying's shoulder and laughed softly. "Someone has his face raised to the sky. Maybe he only has eyes for the sky. No, he only has eyes for the sea of stars!"
"Don't pretend to be crazy under the influence of alcohol!"
Zhang Yingying warned her, but Bai Xinyan kissed her on the cheek. The two immediately became a ball.
Luo Nan ignored the small chaos in the room. He continued to prepare in an orderly manner. He asked Blood Demon to introduce a few more details about the painting materials he was going to use … In other words, the secret deed and the special stylus.
It looked like he really was going to paint.
The problem was, he only saw the preparation. He didn't see the painting!
There was a knock on the door to the room at this time. Kawahara Machiko personally came over to inform him, "Mr. Luo, it's almost time."
"Oh, how do I get there?"
"Please follow me."
Blood Demon bared his teeth. Rather than saying he was nervous and worried, it would be better to say that he was highly excited. "Hey hey. Are you really going to do it here? Don't say I didn't tell you. Impromptu speeches, compositions, and the like might not be taken care of. Many people will be able to use it against you …. "
Luo Nan grunted, "If water really doesn't get in, then wouldn't many people be disappointed and in despair? How are we going to talk about the follow-up? "
Zhang Yingying, who was still being strangled by Bai Xinyan, grew more and more bewildered. "Is this for real?"
Bai Xinyan responded by her ear, "It's clearly a fake body. But, his mind is definitely his own … Are you scared? "
Blood Demon raised his eyebrows. He didn't give up on his earlier thoughts. He made one last effort. "Are you really not going to find a few helpers who can help you fill in the gaps?"
Luo Nan had already turned around and walked outside. "I have to get a feel of things first. Don't they all say, know yourself and know your enemy? Also, I have to give everyone a chance to get to know me and understand me. "
"… Tsk!" Blood Demon watched as Luo Nan left the room. He and Her Majesty Empress Wu were deeply moved. "You suddenly felt your blood run cold, didn't you?"
"I didn't."
"That's because Your Majesty has a big heart."
Her Majesty Empress Wu laughed soundlessly. She explained a bit more, which was rare for her. "He just has a sharp gaze, and can see through people's hearts. Then, he does what he can to make people feel uncomfortable. From the looks of it, he's still at the stage where he's just acting on his own whims. Even if he's thinking about it, it's not thorough … It's just that you guys can't understand the boundaries of his thoughts, so you're just scaring yourselves. "
"Aiyo, Your Majesty, is that what you think?" The Blood Demon immediately came over. "Since we're talking about borders, where's our little brother's border? Why don't we compare?"
The Martial Emperor neither agreed nor disagreed.
The Blood Demon rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Then I'll go first. My keyword is … cloak! "
As he spat out these words, the Blood Demon smiled, but he stared closely at Her Majesty Empress Wu's expression.
The problem was that the latter was still too lazy to even lift his eyelids and said, "Great minds think alike."
"…"
Zhang Yingying, who was at the side, could see through the Blood Demon's overly impatient thoughts. She curled her lips, but soon called out,
"It's on stage, it's on stage."
Before she spoke, the ring screen in the private room had already begun to display a different image.
The auctioneer on the stage had just ended an unsuccessful round of auctions. Not only was his mouth parched, but his face and hair were also covered in a layer of fine sweat. This was all because of the chaos caused by the situation that had gotten out of control.
It must be said that he was also one of the few senior figures in the industry, but this was the first time he had encountered a situation where the entire venue and several hundred people were not in the right state.
It was also at this moment that an order from above came through the earpiece. It was absurd and unquestionable. The auctioneer's mind was blank. He subconsciously turned his face to look at the side of the stage.
Just at this moment, the light on and below the stage changed. The light on the auction stage was dim, but below the stage, there was a new area where the light was focused.
There, a youth dressed in ordinary clothes, but his age was unusually young. He didn't make any unnecessary movements and directly walked forward, casting his gaze over to the auction stage.
The experienced auctioneer's gaze met the youngster's. For some inexplicable reason, he was a little dazed. The absurd order that entered his ears seemed to have become his own thoughts, and he blurted out in a daze.
"The next auction item will be displayed by the auction house's special guest …"
Halfway through his sentence, the auctioneer paused.
This was because he clearly saw that after the youngster walked onto the stage, his originally casual and informal attire actually transformed out of thin air into a rather decent formal suit. He even wore a bow tie. The only difference was that his age did not match …
Hmm, why did this formal suit look exactly the same as him?
The auctioneer's face was full of shock, and he was stunned on the stage.
For a portion of the bidders below the stage, the series of changes had a rather dramatic effect.
There was clearly going to be an exchange between the experienced auctioneer and the youngster who had suddenly appeared and performed magic.
After all, not everyone was filled with such thoughts. There were quite a few people on this enormous cruise ship that gathered the most cutting-edge researchers and investors in distortion technology. They were completely ignorant of the undercurrents beneath the auction.
And it was precisely this group of people who rather approved of the stage effect before their eyes. They began to applaud and laugh out of sincerity or out of politeness. There was indeed quite a bit of momentum.
But not long after, these claps and laughter were extinguished by the indescribably stagnant atmosphere around them. This caused the atmosphere of the auction to become even more bizarre.
Luo Nan smoothly replaced the original auctioneer under the attention of all sorts of gazes. He stood behind the auction stage.
The stage was a bit high, but it was still acceptable.
He stood still and faced the participants of the auction like this, as well as the various cameras. He took a light breath and revealed a smile towards the place where the laughter had first come from. He used a seemingly professional tone to begin his speech:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very sorry. Actually, I really wanted to say that those of you who can still laugh right now, please leave immediately. This is because you don't know anything … … This is a good thing. Sometimes, knowledge itself is pain. The best way to preserve happiness is to maintain ignorance. "
These words caused the expressions of many people to change.
Luo Nan continued speaking without a care: "Please forgive me if my words have offended you. After all, I'm young, and this is my first time on the stage. I'm not an expert in matters such as auctions. The reason why I'm able to cross over to host … … is because I have a background. "
"Actually, there are many people seated here who know me, but there are also many people who don't. There is indeed a certain distance between my circle and everyone else's. Therefore, before I introduce the auction item, please allow me to introduce myself. "
