Although he had sorted out four potential partners, Xiao Ran did not choose blindly. He was also not in a hurry to find a way to contact these people. At present, Xiao Ran was like a peerless swordsman with a supreme treasure. He possessed both personal strength and supreme treasure. However, he was alone. There was a limit to his strength. These people were all from various aristocratic families. Some were rich, and countless people would work for them with a wave of their hand. With Xiao Ran's current situation, it was not a rational choice to contact these forces without preparing.
As for how to prepare, Xiao Ran did not know if the other participants would integrate into the lives of ordinary humans, but at least he used to be an ordinary human, and he knew what would be sought after by the rich. In any case, Xiao Ran focused on the jewelry he bought from the Prometheus System Store. Although Xiao Ran did not understand these things, Sherry Dew did. Moreover, with the current identity of Sherry Dew, it also provided him with a lot of convenience to deal with these things.
In addition to looking for information and information about potential partners on the Internet, Xiao Ran also looked for information about AEU's latest body on the Internet. MS was not a secret in this world. Many forums had analysis of MS data of various forces. Although the specifics of AEU's latest body were still confidential, there were also related news clues that could be checked.
During the three days of living in seclusion, Xiao Ran not only found some basic information about the four partners, but he also confirmed that the plot of this world had not started yet. There were no reports about the Celestials on the Internet, so Xiao Ran had more time to prepare.
In addition, he also looked up some information about auction houses on the Internet, the price of jewelry, and so on. After comparing several records, Xiao Ran had a rough idea of the price of the jewelry he carried. If he sold all the jewelry he carried, it would be enough to make him one of the top rich people in this world.
Xiao Ran occupied a slot in the storage bar. From the jewelry marked as a 'pile of ornaments', he chose one of the few that he felt was the best. He put it in the black suitcase, found a place to put the money in the suitcase, changed his clothes, and left with the suitcase.
For participants who could not stay in this world, the currencies of these worlds were almost meaningless to them. No matter how much money one had, they wouldn't be able to bring it back to Prometheus in the end. As for Xiao Ran, who was already in his third world, he deeply understood this. Furthermore, he also felt that participants didn't need to worry too much about money as they carried out missions in various worlds. If people did not have money to eat and starved to death, Xiao Ran believed that there should not be such a strange existence.
Xiao Ran selected a gem necklace and sent it to a very famous auction house in this city. In the process of the appraisal process, he learned from the auction house staff that the necklace would be auctioned in two months. Once it was sold, the money would be transferred to Xiao Ran's designated account within 60 days, or the auction fee would be paid in cash by cheque.
Hearing that they would have to wait for nearly two months, Xiao Ran immediately shook his head. "What's the earliest we can do?"
The staff replied politely. "Your jewelry is already at the level of a rare gem. Such a large natural gem is almost impossible to see in this era. If possible, our auction house would like to hold a public exhibition for a period of time. This way, the profit of the jewelry can be maximized. At the same time, we will also collect some other pieces of jewelry for this piece of jewelry. We will hold a huge auction to create a sensation, which will also allow this piece of jewelry to be sold at a higher price. But sir, we need a lot of time to collect suitable jewelry, so I can only say that it will be sold within 60 days. "
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. He understood what this person meant. If he wanted to auction it at a higher price, it was best not to rush it for one or two days. But two months later, it would be too late. By that time, the plot might have already started. It would not be appropriate to use the items from the auction to set up the plot.
Frowning, Xiao Ran said, "I still have a batch of jewelry here. There are a few pieces of the same level as this, and there are many lower level ones. There are gems, diamonds, jade, all kinds of types. There are about a dozen pieces. Is it enough to hold a separate auction? "
The eyes of the appraiser and the staff lit up when they heard Xiao Ran's words. The staff nodded repeatedly. "It's enough. It's enough for three or five auctions."
"Bring your lawyer, appraiser, and those random people and find me at this hotel in the city center." Xiao Ran frowned, took out a business card of the hotel and put it on the table. He added, "I don't care how you sell it, and I don't care when you sell it. But I have a request. I need you to give me at least half of the price in advance, and you have to keep my identity a secret."
"If what you said is true, Mr. Xiao, there are dozens of good jewelry, I can agree to your request. As for your identity, we will never disclose the information of our guests." The staff nodded repeatedly and handed a business card to Xiao Ran with both hands. He glanced at it and found that the guy he had always thought was an ordinary person was actually a deputy manager of the auction house.
Xiao Ran took the business card, picked up his things, and turned to leave. On the way back to the hotel, he also contacted Sherry Dew. After thinking about it, he decided to let Sherry Dew come to find him, but he asked Sherry Dew to open a new room on the same floor of the hotel.
When Sherry Dew arrived at the hotel, Xiao Ran also entered Sherry Dew's room without anyone noticing. When Sherry Dew saw Xiao Ran, she showed a happy and excited expression, but she deliberately turned her head away to avoid looking at Xiao Ran. For Xiao Ran, it had only been a day since he last saw Sherry Dew, but for Sherry Dew, it had been a month since she last saw Xiao Ran. She was working hard alone in this strange world.
Xiao Ran walked to Sherry Dew, gently picked her up, and kissed her forehead. His action was like a catalyst, making Sherry Dew's red eyes turn red. "Damn you, you made me live alone in this world for so long."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this." Xiao Ran smiled apologetically. He held Sherry Dew's face with both hands and kissed her on the lips. Then he said, "If I knew this would happen, I would rather you wait for me in Prometheus than let you come with me."
"Hmph, at least you know how to care about me." Sherry Dew raised her chin with a satisfied look on her face. "But there's no need to waste the merit points. Anyway, I'm used to this kind of life, and I can take care of myself."
Xiao Ran smiled and sat down with Sherry Dew. He quietly listened to Sherry Dew talk about her life in the past month. When she woke up and found that Xiao Ran was no longer in her heart, when she heard the voice in her mind, when she was indifferent when she released the album, and when she didn't feel proud of becoming a global hit in such a short time. She just had absolute confidence in her own strength.
The two talked for about half an hour. Then the phone that Xiao Ran bought in this world rang. It was the people from the auction house. After Xiao Ran told them the room number, he took out all the 'decorations' from his storage and put them on the tea table in the suite. After a few minutes, about a dozen people from the auction house, including lawyers, appraisers, staff, and security guards, appeared at the door of the suite.
When the appraiser and the deputy manager who handed the business card to Xiao Ran saw so many top-notch jewels on the table, their eyes immediately lit up. However, they didn't rush to look at these jewels. Instead, they calmed down and identified, screened, and recorded these jewels one by one.
Among these people, some of them recognized Sherry Dew, who had become popular all over the world at an incredible speed. After a short moment of shock, they didn't look at Sherry Dew again. Instead, they concentrated on the things in front of them, showing very good professional qualities. Xiao Ran nodded slightly.
After being busy for a few hours, the appraisers of the auction house finally finished identifying all the jewels and estimated the value of several billion Union currency. However, because there were too many of them and the quality was very good, after obtaining Xiao Ran's consent, the auction house decided to gradually auction them in two years and gave Xiao Ran 2 billion in advance. Of course, Xiao Ran didn't have any objection to this. Anyway, these things were nothing to him. Xiao Ran was satisfied that he could exchange so much money for them.
With so much money, Xiao Ran could disguise himself well. Xiao Ran also hoped to let Sherry Dew participate in the promotion activities of the auction house. With such a small request and Sherry Dew's current popularity, the deputy manager nodded and agreed without hesitation.
After signing the agreement, the people of the auction house hurriedly left, leaving only Xiao Ran and Sherry Dew in the room. However, when Xiao Ran wanted to do something to comfort Sherry Dew, Sherry Dew suddenly threw herself in front of Xiao Ran. After kissing Xiao Ran for a few minutes, she left a charming smile and slipped out of the suite.
When Xiao Ran saw Sherry Dew close the door, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He scratched his head and followed her out, returning to his suite. (To be continued.)
