It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 561 Liu Zheng: You two bastards are plotting against me!
"Okay, we're closing the deal now. Rookie, go get their competitor's product."

Captain Penguin ordered.

"Okay, boss."

A chubby little penguin crawled out from under the table and waddled toward the three collectors who were participating in the auction.

"so cute!"

Liu Zheng couldn't help but speak, and his voice became clamped.

"what?"

As soon as he said this, he realized something was wrong.

Compared with birds, Liu Zheng prefers furry animals such as cats and dogs.

Although penguins are quite cute, they are not as cute as chubby cats, fat dogs, and little otters, which can make him say “Oh my god!”.

"This is the Fourth Boss Rookie. It has the ability of concepts, which can make everyone who sees it think it is the cutest creature in the world. Only those who are strong enough or have extremely high spiritual cultivation can barely resist it."

The projector said.

"Amazing. No wonder he can control such a big auction house."

Leaders, think tanks, engineers, military deterrence, diplomats, it's enough to manage a small country, let alone an auction house.

Penguin Rookie took three competing items and bounced back to the table.

"Please choose one item from all the competing items. The time limit is three minutes. If you exceed the time limit, it will be considered unsold. Give me the timer."

Captain Penguin called out and Rick immediately opened his mouth while Kavas reached in with his flippers and pulled out a timer.

"Timing begins."

The captain shouted and Kavas immediately pressed the button.

"Mr. Liu, you need to make a decision as soon as possible."

The projector reminded.

"I choose the micro Arkenite."

Liu Zheng made the decision without much hesitation.

Although gecko tails and real magnifying glasses are good, they cannot compare to shuffled dice.

Moreover, by establishing good relations with the Stone Spirit Clan, he would have another escape route in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

"Okay, the seller has made his choice."

Captain Penguin received a message from the Projector.

As soon as these words were spoken, the dwarf, the gecko, and the scholar immediately looked towards the stage nervously.

"The final competitor chosen by the seller is the Micro Arken Gem!"

Penguin drawled, then suddenly spoke loudly.

"Ha ha!"

The dwarf who won the bid laughed triumphantly.

The gecko and the scholar curled their lips but said nothing.

By common standards, the value of a microscopic Akan gem is indeed greater than that of a gecko tail and a real magnifying glass.

"Very good, no items were left unsold, and the lots and competing items are relatively rare, which is a good start for this auction. I hope everyone will continue to work hard and bring out all the good stuff in their pockets, and not add to the bad."

Captain Penguin said with satisfaction.

"emm"

This guy's idiom level is just as good as that of a cow or a horse.

After the auction ended, the projector teleported the mermaid princess's first tears back to the auction house, and the auction house also teleported the miniature Arken gem over.

"Name: Micro Arken Gem (One-time)"

"Type: Miscellaneous items/props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect 1: It can be used as a material to create extraordinary items. It will be more effective if it is made by a dwarf craftsman."

"Effect 2: If you have an inorganic-related racial bloodline, you can improve random attributes and gain random skills."

"Note: Only those who possess the Arken Gem can become the king of the dwarves! Even an elf? Even an elf!"

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

“Only two effects?”

Liu Zheng was a little disappointed.

But this was also within his expectation.

The system's item identification function is both broad and narrow, but compared to the lack of capabilities in the Hell game, Liu Zheng feels that it is a deliberately castrated version.

I just don’t know if he hasn’t unlocked more features yet, or if we still have to wait for subsequent updates of the Hell game.

"I got the item I wanted so quickly."

There was a hint of jealousy in the tone of the plane tree.

It doesn't have this kind of luck when it normally attends auctions. When it's unlucky, it may not even get the item it wants in the entire auction.

"It is also thanks to His Excellency Dai Legao's support."

Liu Zheng flattered him.

"Then you give me the Arken Gem in return."

The plane tree opened its mouth and asked for it.

"What do you, a tree, need the Arkenstone for? Hang it on a branch to trick birds?"

Many birds like shiny things, such as bowerbirds, magpies, crows, etc.

"Collecting is a kind of fun. If you want something only because it is useful to you, then it is called collecting. Of course, ignorant and utilitarian people like you will not understand."

The plane tree said with disdain.

"you're right."

Liu Zheng chose not to bother with it.

"Now we will start the second round of bidding. Let's see if this round of auction items can create another brilliant performance."

Captain Penguin took out the second lot.

"What the hell is this? A trash can full of trash? Damn it, if I knew who was pulling this prank, I'd make Rick bite his ass!"

It cursed as it looked at the projection that appeared on the table.

I saw an iron trash can suspended in the air, filled with messy garbage.

Since there was no garbage bag and the trash can itself was hollow, a lot of unknown juice was squeezed out and overflowed, which looked very disgusting.

"Oh? So that's what's going on."

After all, he was the owner of the auction house, and Captain Penguin quickly saw the clues of this item.

"On the surface, it is a trash can full of garbage, but in reality, it is a triggered witchcraft trap. When it is knocked over, it will summon a terrible vengeful spirit, which will inflict inhumane corporal punishment on the person who knocked over the trash can."

It says what the item does.

"How terrible is it?"

Erbaier, who was an acquaintance of Captain Penguin, made a comedic comment.

"It's even scarier than when your wife has her period."

Captain Penguin chuckled.

"Ouch!"

Collectors who knew Erbaier were immediately shocked.

Normally, Mrs. Eberle is as terrifying as the Lord of the Abyss. When she is having her period, even the Demon Lord has to stay away from her.

But after the shock, no one bid for it.

"Why is there no one bidding? Isn't Madam Erbaier powerful enough?"

Liu Zheng asked in confusion.

"I don't know Eber, so how do I know if his wife is powerful or not?"

The plane tree rolled its eyes.

"However, to be evaluated in this way by the captain, his strength must be good."

“Then why is no one bidding?”

he asked.

"Who can participate in this auction? Who is weak? Even if they are not strong enough, they have a lot of bodyguards and followers. They don't lack such things at all."

"Collectors are not interested in offensive items, we are looking for rare and interesting ones."

The French plane tree replied.

"Then I think this trash can is actually quite interesting."

Liu Zheng smiled.

This trash can reminded him of the real-life Ultraman.

A monster named Void Monster Griza appeared in both Ultraman X and Ultraman Zeta.

Not only is it very powerful, but it cannot be selected. It can only hit you, not you hitting it. All the Ultramen are beaten so badly that they will be wiped out without cheating.

A monster called the four-dimensional monster Bruton can summon a Gliza after being defeated. Therefore, some experienced fans compare Bruton to a cosmic trash can.

When you knock over Bruton, the trash can of the universe, your mother, the universe, will come with a broom, Griza, to clean you up.

"It's quite interesting indeed. Someone should be bidding for it soon."

The plane tree actually agreed with his point of view.

Sure enough, after waiting for about half a minute, the first collector raised his sign.

"I'll give you a pair of underwear."

The collector, who looked like some kind of mollusk, pulled out a pair of wrinkled underwear with unidentified yellow stains on it.

"what?"

Liu Zheng's attention was instantly focused.

Could this be the underwear of the legendary delivery man?
If that's true, then he has one more item that he must get.

“Do you need identification services?”

Just as he was thinking about it, the projector asked.

"Hey, can we also identify products that are not our competitors?"

Liu Zheng was a little surprised.

"It is not acceptable to charge for appraisals on a per-session basis. This is a special treatment for members."

The projector explained.

"Then this one million is worth it. Tell me the results of the appraisal."

"Okay. The Duke's dirty underwear. When you wear it, others will think you are a person of very noble status. You can also designate someone to be your maid, who will be unable to resist your obscene actions. But after the effect ends, the opponent's attack on you will receive a bonus."

The projector introduced.

"It's an auxiliary and control item."

After hearing the results, Liu Zheng was somewhat tempted.

The control effect is already very good, and the noble status is also very useful in a hierarchical place like the metropolis.

Given his connections and noble status, it's not realistic for him to disguise himself as the Supreme Chancellor's biological father, but disguising himself as the Supreme Chancellor's Starfury shouldn't be a problem.

If this item is put up for auction later, you can try to bid for it.

After the first person raised his bid, others followed suit.

But compared with the previous round, the competition in this round has obviously cooled down a lot.

Among the competing products, there was nothing that Liu Zheng was interested in.

"Looking at the situation, I might as well give it a try."

His heart moved slightly.

Collectors have little interest in trash cans, which are not very interesting, but Liu Zheng is attracted by their practicality.

But what can I use to bid?
Liu Zheng fell into deep thought.

"Forget it, just pick up something to delay time so that we won't be closed later."

He thought about it and took out the elusive pack of cigarettes.

“I’m going to use this to bid.”

He said to the projector.

"Ok."

The projection man took the cigarette and put it in the box.

Immediately, a projection of a cigarette appeared in front of Captain Penguin.

"Oh? It's this."

The captain's eyes lit up.

"Master cigarette maker Li Tang Zhenzhu made his last batch of cigarettes before his death, which he named the 'Funny Life' series. This pack of unpredictable cigarettes is of above-average quality in the entire series, and there are only ten packs in total. Two packs have been buried with their owner, three packs have been damaged for various reasons, two packs have flowed into the Ocean Empire, and one pack is in the hands of a planeswalker, and no one knows where it is now."

"There are two bags left. One is in my brother Rick's stomach. Rick, would you like to auction off your bag?"

asked the captain.

Rick said nothing, but made a cross with his flippers.

"Everyone has seen it. Now the collectible value of this pack of puzzling cigarettes has increased again."

The captain gave a funny smile.

"I have a question."

A collector raised a sign, not to bid, but to ask a question.

"You said."

"Don't all the 'Funny Life' series of cigarettes come with lighters? Where's the lighter?"

the collector asked.

"The bidder only took out cigarettes, but I can ask for you."

said the captain.

"Mr. Liu, the host asked if you have a lighter that matches it."

The projector passed it on immediately.

"some."

Liu Zheng replied.

"The bidder said he actually had a lighter that matched it."

The captain said to everyone present.

"Then just take them out together. The cigarettes have all been replaced. What's the point of him keeping a lighter in his hand?"

The collector said carelessly.

"People can bid on whatever they want, why should you care? If it doesn't match, it's useless. You have collected a lot of broken pieces."

The captain said, rolling his eyes.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

"What are the remnants? Those are the collections that have not been reunited yet. How can they be called remnants of the collectors' affairs?"

The collector mumbled something incomprehensible and sat down reluctantly.

"Mr. Liu, I suggest you add the tricky lighter as a competing product. The tricky cigarette alone will not be able to win the bid for the trash can, and this round is likely to fail."

The projector suddenly said.

"Your boss asked you to tell me?"

Hearing the last sentence, Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

The projector smiled, and everything was said without words.

"Okay, add it then."

He took out the tricky lighter and handed it to the projectionist.

Soon, the projection of a lighter appeared next to the cigarette.

"Okay, the bidder has added the cunning lighter as a competing item, and now it's a complete set. Anyone else want to bid?"

asked the captain.

I asked several times, but no one responded.

So after the countdown, we entered the final stage again.

"The seller agreed to the bid. Congratulations to both parties for the successful exchange."

Penguin is very happy that there have been no failed auctions in two consecutive rounds, and the collection value of both the auction items and competing items is not low. It seems that this should be a successful auction.

After the second round of bidding, the cigarettes and lighters were teleported to the auction house, and the trash can was teleported to Liu Zheng's front.

He blocked his nose and picked up the trash can, and the item introduction popped up immediately.

"Name: Your Mom's Trash Can (Disposable)"

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

“Effect: When knocked over or damaged, a powerful ghost will be summoned, which will continue to hunt down the perpetrator and inflict horrific punishment on him. After the perpetrator dies or three minutes later, the target of the ghost will become the player himself.”

"Note: Look what you've done, you idiotic murderer! It's over, my mom has found us!"

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

"No? Why would you change your target? You didn't tell me that just now?"

Looking at the effects of the items, Liu Zheng cried out that he had been cheated.

And there is no duration, which means that if he fails to kill the enemy within three minutes, there will be one more enemy.

No wonder other people are not very interested in bidding.

"You two bastards are plotting against me!"

Liu Zheng cursed Captain Penguin and the plane tree in his heart.
