The audience was as noisy as a vegetable market, but the stage was cold and silent.

The auctioneer's eyes rolled around and he was slow to bring down his gavel.

Number 9 smiled and crossed his legs: "It's been so long, it's shocking enough for you, right? Are you waiting for me to regret it by not dropping the hammer yet?"

Catching the word "regret", the auctioneer's eyes lit up and his expression was shocked, as if he was afraid of missing the opportunity, he said seriously: "Mr. No. 9, are you sure you want to bid for this copyright that is limited to years and only for film and television adaptations for billion and one yuan?"

No. 9:……

Even the guests who thought the auctioneer was an undead demon just a second ago couldn't help but feel that it was outrageous.

"No, is this person sick?"

"No. 9 is right. When introducing him earlier, he wanted to add the adjective "glittering with thousands of words". Why is it that when someone really took a photo of him, he started to emphasize his shortcomings? Does he want to take the photo or not?"

"Haha, two 'only', the only thing missing is 'you fool, open your eyes and see clearly' - now I think he should not be hired by the undead demon."

"Not only was he not hired by the Undead Monster, he must have been hired by someone who wanted to kill the Undead Monster."

"It seems like we're the only ones being played for fools."

"Don't let me know who it is..."

……

Most of the people present were not stupid, and they quickly figured out what was going on from the auctioneer's drastic and completely contradictory attitude.

Their voices rose and fell in an interlaced manner, and their eyes flashed a faint light behind the masks, which made the auctioneer on the stage break out in a cold sweat.

And No. 9 said nothing, just spread his hands and shrugged at him: "So, don't hammer yet?"

"I...I just want to confirm what you mean. I have absolutely no other ideas."

The auctioneer took one last look at a figure in the second row, and with his hands shaking with cold sweat, he finally raised his hand.

"I hereby announce that the last item of this auction, the twenty-year film and television rights to the cartoonist Immortal Demon's masterpiece "Stars", has been bought by Mr. No. 9 for a high price of billion and one yuan!"

"make a deal!"

The gavel fell heavily.

The dust has settled.

When asked about his identity, No. 9 stood up and bowed to everyone, saying, "Excuse me."

“Not all of it was my money.”

……

Before the show ended, a staff member walked onto the stage and said to everyone using a microphone: "Dear guests, please take your number tags with you when you leave the venue. This will become your lounge number at the ballroom."

"So many guest rooms? The Qin family is building a new building?"

……

"Is it Jiang Xu?"

In the audience seats where people gradually stood up and walked out, several people from Yuzhou were whispering to each other as they looked at the figure surrounded by stars.

“That sounds like it to me.”

"So he took the photo for Xingfei?"

"That makes sense. Xingfei is indeed a professional in this area. This time, he has given Undead Demon such a big honor. It will be much easier to sign game copyrights and peripheral copyrights one after another in the future. Maybe he can even get a discount."

"Hasn't Xingfei's holographic technology been successfully developed? If they plan to use Stellaris as a starting point for their first project, then it would be perfect..."

"But five billion is too much. These game developers are here to make money."

……

The lights in the conference room came on with a click, and all the guests who were getting up to leave or still sitting in their chairs talking in low voices were exposed under the light.

"Fuck!"

Many people raised their hands to block the light while cursing, and servants in the corner repeatedly bent down to apologize.

The guests left the venue in twos and threes.

The couple in the second to last row didn't get to leave first and were blocked.

All I could do was watch those vaguely familiar or completely strangers passing by.

During this time, several people pointed at the small tables in the last row and the fruit plates on them.

"What's going on? Sitting in the last row is a privilege?"

"Why don't we have these things? All we need is a plate of melon seeds."

"I should have known to sit in the last row."

……

So the couple couldn't help but look behind them. The strange man who had attracted their attention many times during the auction had disappeared quietly before the auction ended.

"Hey, that's Qin Wu!"

The girl poked the boy's shoulder and gestured to the person who had just passed by.

Then he pointed to the wheelchair behind him and said, "This should be the legendary Wen Can. I don't know what he looks like under the mask, but his temperament is quite special."

"Immortal demon, immortal demon! Wow! With this height, she must be around 1.7 meters tall, right?"

After the two of them talked excitedly for a few words, the girl was suddenly stunned.

"strangeness."

"what happened?"

"Did you see Qin Wu's sign just now?"

"Isn't it number 2?"

"Yes, he is number 2 - then who is number 1? Will Qin Wu let anyone line up in front of him?"

"No. 1 didn't hold up a sign... maybe it was Mrs. Qin or Mr. Qin."

As soon as she finished speaking, Old Lady Qin walked past them, clearly holding number 11 in her hand.

The person walking two seats behind her was Mr. Qin, whose brand was 22.

Two people:…

For some reason, out of an inexplicable intuition, the girl suddenly reached out to the small table in the last row.

The weirdo left early and didn't hear the last instructions, so her number plate fell down and was now lying upside down on top.

"What are you thinking? How could it be possible..."

Before her boyfriend could finish his words, she had already turned the sign over.

The number "1" in black on a gold background was clearly exposed under the bright light.

The boy's unfinished words turned into a gasp.

Under the masks, they all showed expressions of shock and confusion.

"Who is this person?"

"Never mind, we'll find out at the dance!"

The girl's tone was full of excitement about finding out some big gossip. She dragged her boyfriend and rushed out, lifting her skirt.

Among the last few people walking, a woman wearing a cyan sunset mask inadvertently glanced at the number 1 card and suddenly paused.

"what happened?"

"fine."

·

Before the gavel fell, Ye Kong quietly stood up and left the venue.

The light suddenly pierced her eyes, and she squinted uncomfortably. Before her vision returned to normal, someone came forward and said, "Please follow me, sir."

"Where?"

"The next thing is the dance, so we need to go to the venue where the dance is being held."

The servant glanced at her sideways and asked in surprise, "Where's your number plate?"

"It was lost in there."

"Um, what's your number?"

"1."

The servants' attitude became visibly more respectful.

Ye Kong felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

But when the direction the servant was leading gradually became familiar, she slowed down again and finally stopped.

"Where exactly is the dance going to be held?"

She stood on the stone road that passed through the woods and asked the person in front of her coldly.

"It's on the ship." The servant turned around and said with a smile, "Our master had a sudden idea and changed the location to the cruise ship - the cruise ship is docked at the Qin family's wharf, and it will be there soon after passing through the woods over here."
