When he arrived at the Tianying Building, Yang Xuan was a little worried.
The auction was last year. It was difficult for him to find clues now.
Moreover, he didn't know anyone in the Tianying Group. Even if he wanted to find someone, he didn't know who to look for.
He couldn't just kill his way up there like he did on the Wushen Star.
The receptionist had already seen him and asked politely, "Sir, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment? "
Yang Xuan didn't have an appointment. When he didn't know how to answer, he suddenly saw the words "Tianying Auction House" on a sign on the side.
He had an idea and said, "I have a treasure that I want to auction."
Sure enough, when the receptionist heard Yang Xuan say this, she said politely, "Please wait a moment."
After that, she made a phone call and said a few words. Then, she hung up and said, "Please wait a moment. Someone will come down to pick you up later."
After a while, a bald middle-aged man walked out of the elevator. When he came over, he knew that Yang Xuan was the person who wanted to auction something on the phone, so he said politely, "Sir, please follow me."
Yang Xuan followed him in the elevator directly to the ninth floor. After entering a reception room, the bald man said, "My name is Xue Yongning. I'm an appraiser of the Tianying Auction House. Sir, you can call me Little Xue. How should I address you? What do you want to auction?"
"My surname is Yang," Yang Xuan said, then took out a night-luminescent pearl from his pocket and placed it on the table.
This night-luminescent pearl was a collection of the bandit commander in Ri Lun Country. Yang Xuan took it with him.
Baldy Xue skillfully put on gloves, took out a magnifying glass, and observed it carefully under the light.
After a while, he put down the night-luminescent pearl and said with a smile, "It is indeed a treasure. The market value of this night-luminescent pearl should be about one million. How many does Mr. Yang have?"
"Ten!" Yang Xuan said lightly. He took out nine night-luminescent pearls and placed them on the table.
Baldy Xue's breathing suddenly quickened.
If there was only one of them, it wouldn't be that valuable. However, if there were ten of them in a set, the value wouldn't be as simple as one plus one equals two.
Baldy Xue checked them one by one and spent nearly an hour before he let out a long sigh of relief. He said respectfully to Yang Xuan, "Mr. Yang Xuan, these ten Night-Luminescent Pearls are estimated to be around 20 million. Are you sure you want us to auction them off?"
Yang Xuan nodded and said casually, "Let's auction it."
Baldy Xue was a little excited. To be honest, 20 million wasn't a small amount for him. If the auction was successful, he would get a lot of commission.
He immediately found someone to draft a contract. After signing and stamping, the contract came into effect.
"Two weeks later, there will be an auction. Mister Yang's ten luminous pearls will appear in this auction. Mister Yang can participate then," Xue Tuzi said.
Yang Xuan nodded indifferently, and then said in a seemingly casual manner, "I wonder what items are in this auction? I've always liked to hunt for novelties. If it's just some common goods, then it's fine if I don't come. "
Xue Tuzi didn't suspect anything. He thought for a moment and said, "Most of them are antiques, calligraphy, and paintings. However, there are also some items with unclear origins. You'll have to judge for yourself."
Yang Xuan nodded and acted as if he had just thought of something. He asked, "I heard that you guys auctioned off an alien metal last year. I'm very interested in alien civilizations. I wonder if you guys still have something like that."
Xue Tuzi recalled, "That was indeed a special case. I remember that the metal was bought at the base price. It was only 800,000. It almost failed to be sold."
Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "What a pity. If I were here, I would have bought it for at least a few million."
Xue Tuzi also felt that it was a pity. He said, "This is an opportunity. If Mister Yang had participated in the auction last year, you would have gotten what you wanted."
Yang Xuan said casually, "I don't know which buyer bought it. If possible, I would like to ask him to part with it."
Xue Tuzi said awkwardly, "This is a company secret. I don't know the buyer's origin."
Yang Xuan said intentionally, "It's really a pity. However, if you can contact this buyer, I can give you a reward of one million."
"Really?"
Xue Tuzi's breathing suddenly quickened. One million wasn't a small amount for him. Moreover, the customer in front of him only wanted to buy it. This wasn't anything new in their line of work.
"I always keep my word." Yang Xuan smiled.
"Okay!" Xue Tuzi suppressed the excitement in his heart and agreed, "Mister Yang, I will give you a call after contacting him."
Yang Xuan's phone number was in the contract, so there was no need to ask.
"Okay! Thank you for your trouble. "Yang Xuan nodded.
At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh. On this planet, there was nothing that money couldn't solve.
When he came out of Tianying Building, the sky was already dark. Yang Xuan gave Xiao Jing a call and told her not to wait for him. Then, he strolled around leisurely.
As he strolled, he thought about the problem of the 108.
Without the 108, he couldn't build the Heaven-splitting Ship. Without the Heaven-splitting Ship, he couldn't leave this place. Therefore, to solve the problem, he had to first find a suitable energy source to "wake" the 108.
"I don't know if nuclear energy will work," he said to himself.
However, this thing was too tightly controlled. Under the premise that he didn't want to expose himself, it was impossible to obtain it through legal means.
Although it wouldn't work here, it wouldn't be a problem in another country.
"Looks like it's time to go abroad," Yang Xuan said to himself.
At this time, there were many people setting up stalls by the roadside. They were selling more gadgets and the like. He looked around with great interest as he walked. She even bought dinner from a stall and ate as she walked. She was having a great time.
As he walked, he realized that he had walked to the river.
The night wind was blowing gently. There were many people strolling by the river. There were even couples kissing in the shady and secluded places, ignoring everyone else.
At this moment, a slight plop sound came from afar.
"Someone jumped into the river," a woman shouted at the top of her lungs.
Everyone quickly gathered around. Some of the more enthusiastic people even started calling the police.
Yang Xuan went over to take a look. The river was turbulent. The person who jumped into the river flopped a few times and sank.
Faced with such turbulent water, no one dared to go into the water. They could only watch and sigh.
"It's a mother and daughter. Poor thing," someone sighed.
"I don't know what crime they committed. Sigh, I saw them standing here for a long time. I thought they were just enjoying the scenery. Who knew that they would jump in when I wasn't paying attention." Someone sighed.
They couldn't not be saved. By the time the rescue team arrived, their bodies would have been washed away.
Yang Xuan threw the dinner in his hand to the side and jumped in.
"Someone went down. It's a young man," someone exclaimed.
"It's over. The current is so fast. Even if the young man can swim, it's going to be bad."
"Did you call the fire department?" someone shouted anxiously.
"Yes, yes. That's right, quickly find a rope to help the young man."
Everyone was busy. Yang Xuan, who had jumped into the water, was slightly stunned when he saw the mother and daughter who had fallen into the water.
He recognized the mother and daughter. Weren't they the mother and daughter who rode the electric bike that he had just saved at noon?
What was going on?
