Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

【Can you contact the seller behind this? 】

[Yes, Master.] Xiao Qi completed a small self-improvement during Xia Jiumeng's absence.

It can now do more.

【Please check whether these items are from the same seller.】

It was said that they were found in ancient ruins, but those things could not be found so easily. The photos of the products that came into her mind when Xiaoqi was explaining it to her were obviously very vivid.

With such a complete set of products, it was hard for Xia Jiumeng not to suspect that they might have come from the same mermaid.

If possible, she would like to have them all.

Chaotic emotions are not conducive to thinking, but fortunately she still has self-control and can quickly sort herself out.

[Okay, Master. This may be a bit troublesome. Please wait for me for a few more minutes.]

Even though Xiaoqi's technology is far superior to the level of this world, its capabilities are greatly reduced due to the limitations of the world itself. The last time it invaded that laboratory, it took much longer than this.

While Xiao Qi was looking up the source of the item and contacting the seller, Xia Jiumeng contacted Qin Che and briefly told him that she was invited to participate in an auction and had taken a fancy to an item and wanted to buy it, but was afraid that the seller would not give her face because of her low status.

Qin Che: "Tell me my name, take as many pictures as you want, and have him settle the bill at the dark corner."

"No, I have something to pay you, but I have to prepare a gift for you separately. Sorry, Qin Che."

This was originally what she wanted to give to Qin Che...

[Qin Che: No need to apologize to me, as long as the new gift is better than this one.]

[Qin Che: Do you need me to tell Xue Ming and the others to help you?]

"Uh, no, no, I'm just worried he won't sell it to me, so I want to borrow your name."

【Qin Che: Use it at will.】

Xia Jiumeng talked to Qin Che for a few words and then hung up the phone.

"Master, I've found out that the item was taken out by a Chinese man named Charles Mo. I contacted the auctioneer and they said that items put up for auction cannot be withdrawn, which is against the rules."

[But I contacted the seller, and he said he would consider it if the price was right, and that we would have to pay the penalty.]

[I learned from the buyer that he did have a dying mermaid, but it was no longer worth anything.]

Xia Jiumeng frowned. [Can you contact Mr. Da?]

[Sorry, Master, their protective measures are very complete. We are unable to find Mr. Da's contact information, but we can find his assistant's.]

[Please contact him using Qin Che's name and tell him I've taken a liking to these things and want to talk to Mr. Da.]

[Good master. 】

[Master, we've contacted them. They said they'll send someone to guide you.]

【understood. 】

Because her connection with Xiaoqi was through consciousness, the only sound that could be heard in the entire bathroom was the splashing of water.

After tidying up for a while, Xia Jiu walked out looking a little uncomfortable.

"How are you? Why are you so pale?"

Qi Yu, who had been waiting, went forward the moment he heard the bathroom door open.

"I don't know. It's so stuffy here. I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Qi Yu, how about I wait for you outside the auction?"

The auction house is an independent European-style building located in a huge garden. The entire area is very safe. Although there are pavilions and swings for people to admire, no one who comes here would be so idle as to not auction things but admire the garden outside the auction.

"Can you do it alone?"

Qi Yu really wanted to go out with her, but he couldn't because he still had things to do.

"I'm fine. The security here is very good. I'm just outside in the garden to get some fresh air. There aren't many things left now, so it should be quick. I'll wait for you outside."

Seeing her like this, Qi Yu could only nod and remind her, "Then don't run around. Just wait for me in the garden outside. I'll be out soon."

"it is good."

When Qi Yu was walking Xia Jiumeng to the door of the private room, a waiter came over.

"plz follow me."

Qi Yu didn't think much about it, thinking that it was the person who took her to the garden. He just watched her leave with the waiter. He didn't sit back on the big sofa until their figures disappeared around the corner.

Qi Yu's phone rang, and an old male voice sounded on the other end of the line, "Did you find it?"

"Well, he was auctioned off."

There was silence for a moment. He knew that the tribesmen who were auctioned off had no chance of survival, but whatever he could bring back was better.

"Try to bring him home."

"I see."

Qi Yu looked at the people below who were so excited that their faces were ferocious and they were bidding madly. His voice was cold, and his blue-purple eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible hatred and disgust.

On the other side, Xia Jiumeng followed the waiter to a heavy wooden carved door.

"We're here, please come in." The waiter smiled, opened the door for her and gestured for her to come in.

Xia Jiumeng walked in, and the door closed again the moment she entered.

A middle-aged man in a black velvet suit walked over.

"Hello, Miss Xia. My name is Xu Qing. I'm Mr. Da's assistant. Please follow me."

Xu Qing took Xia Jiumeng to a reception area behind the jade bead curtain on the left.

I saw an old man in Tang suit sitting on the sofa in the middle seat. His hair was gray but he looked energetic and even a little familiar.

Is he the owner of...that second-hand store?

"Old man..."

"Miss Xia, nice to meet you again. Please take a seat."

The old man smiled and poured a cup of tea for Xia Jiumeng.

"did not expect...."

"Miss Xia, there's no need to be surprised. It's just a small business to make a living."

Xia Jiumeng twitched the corners of her mouth. It was indeed a "small business".

"Old man, you should know why I'm here."

"Of course I know, but the item has already been put on the market. You know the rules of the auction house. I can't ruin the reputation of the auction house by myself."

"Of course I won't make it difficult for you. I have some information here. Please take a look first."

Xia Jiumeng asked Xu Qing to bring a computer, transferred a document, opened it and handed it to the old man.

The old man took it and began to read it. The more he read, the brighter the light in his eyes became.

Xia Jiumeng spoke at the right time.

"Compared to some safe cities, most places are still under the threat of stray bodies. This is why there are more weapons than treasures at the auction house, right?"

"This is a data set showing the power test of the offensive weapon in the Primary Binary Star 1. I wonder if you are interested."

This was what she had asked Xiao Qi to help her test before. The experimental subject under test was a virtual body reproduced by "borrowing" the complete data of the guild's E-level wandering body.

Xia Jiumeng has already been able to use existing materials to make a simple sensor cabin and a small second world space in a small area in the workshop, but due to material limitations, the data it can carry and the range are very weak for the time being.

The data of this wandering body almost overwhelmed the chip, so it was deleted immediately after the detection.

The old man raised an eyebrow as he looked at the video and asked, "This scene is the trial field, right? Are you from the Hunter Association?"

"Newcomer."

"That alone is not enough."

Xia Jiumeng understood what he meant and smiled, "Since it's called Twin Stars, there must be two of them."

"But before I do that, I naturally want to know what the Master intends."

"If nothing else, this bomb is far more powerful than the currently popular tower damage, and it can also control the release range."

The tower's attack on wandering bodies is only at level D, but her double stars are at level E, and the range can even be precisely controlled, which is much more advanced than the tower.

The defensive ball only needs a very low Evol charge to convert the barrier to withstand three full-strength attacks from an E-level wandering body. These two things are very rare for people who have to come into contact with wandering bodies for a long time.

"I'm very interested, but it's a pity that this alone can't impress me."

The old man put down the computer and looked at Xia Jiumeng.

"Of course. I have a set of binary stars here that you can have people experiment on right now."

Xia Jiumeng knew that people would naturally not believe the test videos and data she provided. After all, there was no trust between them.
