My cubs are all vinegar

As Nijiu speculated, these humans are interstellar merchants.

The so-called interstellar merchant is a new and popular occupation in the empire.They travel through the universe, making a living by smuggling goods that cannot be sold through normal channels between the stars.

As a result, they are often called "human smugglers" by other galaxies.

The business activities of interstellar traders are almost all over the universe and all races, except elves.

The elves resist communicating with other races, but there are many priceless treasures in their domain, which make interstellar traders very coveted.

Right now, of course they must seize this opportunity to get in touch with the elves through Nijiu.

"Hello, I've heard about it for so long!"

The leading merchant was a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears. He walked into the box on his own, and began to take the initiative to get close, smiling at Nijiu very attentively: "I didn't expect to meet you here, I am so lucky .”

After speaking, he stopped and waited for Nijiu to say hello to himself.

However, Nijiu didn't listen to him at all, and just looked at him without saying a word.

The vendor was not discouraged, and he continued: "Today's main item is the last set of armor developed by the empire more than ten years ago, representing the best technology of the empire, because the wearer was captured and exiled to an alien planet. However, Besides armor, there are other things worth buying today..."

Except for Nijiu, the eyes of the other guests were also concentrated on those few humans.When they saw the merchant talking to Nijiu, they turned their attention to Nijiu.

Nejito had an ominous premonition in his heart.The guys who appeared at this auction are obviously not good people. If they are targeted by them, they will probably cause a lot of trouble.

What's more, the bodyguard of the interstellar trader was also standing outside the door, staring at the three people in the box.

The interstellar merchants were still approaching Nijiu, Qingyan stared at them for a while expressionlessly, then turned to Nijiu and Ryan: "How many people do you know?"

Nijiu and Ryan shook their heads frantically.

At this moment, the vendor noticed Qing Yan who was sitting next to Nijiu.

The trader was well-informed, he saw the light blue pattern on the back of Qingyan's hand, and immediately guessed his identity.

"Oh, you must be a monster, right? Hello, hello."

The peddler said, wanting to shake hands with Qingyan.

Qingyan raised his right hand, but instead of reaching out to the vendor, he snapped his fingers in the air.

Vendor: "...Huh?"

Is this some new way of saying hello?

Following Qingyan's movements, the wall of the box suddenly began to fluctuate.Nijiu took a closer look and found that they were the monsters from just now.They did not leave, but hid by the wall in an invisible posture, quietly guarding the box.

After they left the transparent state and returned to normal, they walked towards the interstellar merchant and bodyguard.

Nejito didn't even see what was going on.

All the vendors and bodyguards flew out, and were smashed on the wall at the other end of the corridor like dolls that were thrown away, and the wall was smashed and cracked.

A demon clan walked up to Qingyan, and uttered a series of vague words from his mouth.

"Go out." Qing Yan nodded to him, "Close the door, others come in."

The monster clan responded vaguely and left the box.

Suddenly a crisp bell rang downstairs, and Nijiu raised his head, only to see that the lights in the box suddenly dimmed, and the surrounding light became dim, making it appear that the projection lights on the auction table were brighter.

The waiters slowly pulled up the red flannel, and a transparent square booth appeared in front of everyone.

The people in the temple finally waited until this moment, they were all boiling, and there was a burst of cheers from downstairs.

Qingyan was sitting on the sofa. He opened the operation panel on the right armrest and entered a series of numbers on it.

Ruian noticed Qingyan's movements, and he passed Nijiu curiously, and took a peek at the operation panel in front of Qingyan: "What did you press just now?"

"Quote." Qing Yan replied, "I want to take a picture of the battle armor."

"Battle armor? It's the main auction item this time, so it should be very expensive, right? Let me see its starting price."

As Nijiu said, he opened the price list next to him, read one by one, and turned to the battle armor.Its starting price is 5000 million.

Nijiu looked at the string of 0s and was dumbfounded.

Energy coins are the common currency of the universe, 5000 million, enough to buy a less intelligent asteroid.

Before Nijiu could sigh, there was another commotion downstairs.

This burst of noise was completely different from the previous cheers. Accompanied by the sound of things being smashed, it seemed that someone was fighting below.

Nejito's attention was drawn, he walked to the terrace and looked down.

A group of Zerg is gathered around the stairs, it seems to want to go upstairs.The waiter was trying to stop them just now, but the Zerg went its own way, impatient, and overturned a table with its spiked arms.

Nijiu patted Ryan and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ryan answered him: "Here, those Zergs wanted to come to the second floor, but they didn't have an invitation letter, so they started arguing downstairs."

Nijiu frowned.

"When did this group of robbers have the concept of buying, didn't they rob everything they saw?"

"They don't dare to rob things here." Hearing the conversation between the two, Qingyan pointed to the security guards holding laser guns below, "The organizer of this auction is the United Interstellar Chamber of Commerce. Anyone who dares to rob things here will Just don’t even think about getting out alive.”

The Zerg is a race of the new generation. In the long history of the universe, the era they have experienced is even shorter than that of humans.They are extremely tall, looking like insects magnified countless times, with abdomens covered with spiky hairs, densely packed limbs, and compound eyes that make people feel chills behind.

Since the birth of the Zerg, they have expanded their territory without limit among the stars, burning, killing and looting, and every planet invaded by them will become a lifeless waste star.

Due to the above reasons, Nijiu has no good impression of Zerg.

The Zerg downstairs viciously pushed away the waiter at the auction, and walked upstairs without hesitation.In order not to make a big fuss, the waiter could only let them go to the second floor.

Like Zerg bandits, they randomly found a box and sat down, which happened to be next to Nijiu and the others.

The farce subsided, and on the other hand, the auction had already begun.

The battle armor is the grand finale. Before the battle armor, there are five auction items.Nijiu read the introduction of the auction items. These are very precious treasures, and there are even strange stones snatched from millions of light-years away, which can enhance aura.

Nijiu carefully observed the other guests present, and found that the Zerg had no interest in these auction items and had been playing cards.

Nijiu also saw the interstellar merchants sitting in the opposite van. They had suffered a big loss just now, met Nijiu's gaze, and immediately lowered their heads to avoid looking at him.

An hour later, it was finally the turn of the armor auction.

Qingyan sat up straight from the sofa and looked at the auction table calmly.Nijiu also straightened his back, he looked towards the transparent booth, and finally saw the true face of the legendary armor.

It was a set of shiny mechs, although it was two meters high, it was not heavy.The joints of the mecha are made of soft scaly silver armor, which can bend the body freely without affecting the movement at all.

This set of armor has the most advanced technology of the empire and represents the highest level of human mechs.

Since human beings have spiritual power, the usefulness of mechas has been greatly reduced.However, in the face of the extremely strong Zerg, the battle armor can still exert great effectiveness, and it can even be said to be the ultimate weapon for human beings to fight against the Zerg.

When Nijiu thought of this, he subconsciously glanced at the Zerg box.

I saw the Zerg who had been playing cards just now suddenly sat upright, staring at the battle armor on the display stand, and their black compound eyes were tearing apart.

Nijiu's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but pay more attention to this group of Zerg.

The auctioneer's voice sounded in the temple, his voice was so loud that it even echoed.

"Lot No. 5000, the starting price is 40 million energy coins, and the price increases step by step from 200 to [-] million. Please start bidding."

The Zerg immediately pressed the plus button.

The auctioneer announced: "Okay, the price for the sixth box is 5000 and [-] million, is there anyone going to raise the price?"

This set of mechs is obviously also a very sought-after auction item, only to hear a series of price increase bells in the auction house, and the auctioneer kept quoting, almost overwhelmed.

"Brother, did you see that? The Zerg are also bidding for mechs."

Ryan noticed the Zerg and was very confused: "The Zerg are generally more than three meters long, and there are even individuals with seven or eight meters. Human mechs are not suitable for them at all. Are they going to be put in a museum for exhibition?"

"Not necessarily." Nijiu was afraid that the Zerg would hear their voices, "Stop talking, Ryan."

Ryan had never seen Nijiu with such a serious expression, he hesitated to speak, and finally stopped talking.

The auction continued, Qingyan sat calmly on the sofa, did not participate in the bidding, Nijiu thought he had given up the auction, and breathed a sigh of relief.

But when the first half of the auction was about to end, Qing Yan suddenly pressed the button to increase the price.

"The ninth box, 800! The first half of the auction is temporarily over, and the bidding will continue in 10 minutes."

When Nijiu heard this number, he felt dizzy.

Before Qingyan participated in the auction, interstellar vendors and Zerg had been bidding continuously, while other people saw the rising price, felt a little bit pained, and gave up bidding one after another. Only a few people still gritted their teeth and persisted.

The mentality of those who gave up bidding has improved a lot, and they are peacefully guessing whether it is the Zerg or the interstellar traders who will finally win the auction.

However, after Qingyan suddenly intervened, the situation became complicated in an instant.

Hearing that there were still people participating in the bidding, there was a burst of exclamation in the temple.People downstairs stood up one after another, wanting to see who was in the ninth box.

"It's a monster!"

"Has he bid before?"

"No, it was his first price increase just now. It seems that he wants to get a big one at the end."

"Interesting!!"

……

Ryan hadn't figured out the situation yet, he was standing on the edge of the balcony, looking at the number of each box in turn.

Ryan was still feeling: "Brother, did you hear that? Box 8000 offered [-] million! I really want to see who is so generous."

Nijiu pointed to Qingyan.

Ryan: "..."

Ryan's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he pulled Nijiu aside: "Brother Ni, do you think he can pay that much at once? If he can't pay the money, we might have to go back to Emperor Star on crutches. "

Nijiu: "...don't ask me, I'm panicked too."

Different from the panic of Nijiu and Rui'an, the culprit of the panic, Qing Yan, was extremely calm, sitting on the sofa calmly, waiting for the second half to start.

After the start of the second half, the Zerg continued to increase prices and squeezed out all the remaining players. Only the interstellar vendors were left to compete with the Zerg.Now the price has reached as high as [-] million, and because interstellar traders and Zerg have been unwilling to let go, the price is still rising.

This Battle Armor auction had already attracted a lot of attention. After the dramatic scene in the first half, the interest of everyone present was heated up. Every time they raised the price, there would be bursts of cheers.

They are still paying attention to Qingyan's movements, expecting him to increase the price again.However, there has been no movement on Qingyan's side, only the Zerg and interstellar traders are competing with each other.

They suspected that the ninth box had given up, and they couldn't help being disappointed.

"Just give up like this? It's so boring."

"It's so shameful, I thought he would continue to bid."

"It's a pity, I thought that monster clan would raise the price."

……

In an effort to end this auction as quickly as possible, the auctioneer removed the cap on markups, and prices rose even faster.

"The price for the sixth box is 4000 million! Does anyone want to increase the price?"

The auctioneer said, turning his attention to the interstellar merchant.However, this price has far exceeded the tolerance of interstellar traders, and they can only give up silently.

"4000 million once, 4000 million twice—"

The auctioneer saw that the interstellar merchant gave up his bid and raised his gavel.Just as he was about to shout "Deal", the bell suddenly rang in the quiet temple.

Qingyan participated in the auction at the last moment.

The auctioneer looked at the numbers displayed on the screen in disbelief, his voice trembling with excitement.

"The ninth box offers [-] million!"

There was a burst of exclamation on the first floor, their voices were extremely noisy, and various languages ​​were mixed together, and Nijiu couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

Those people of different races all turned their heads to look at Qingyan, sighing with emotion at this astonishing sky-high price.

"Once in five hundred million, twice in five hundred million—"

The Zerg could not afford the price and decided to give up.They didn't continue to increase the price. Nijiu glanced at them secretly, and saw a Zerg raised a chair out of anger, and smashed around in the box to vent his emotions.

The auctioneer's gavel fell on the chopping board: "Auction No. [-], sold for [-] million!"

There was a thunderous applause in the temple.

Nijiu was still in shock, he subconsciously raised his hands and clapped dumbly.

At this time, Nijiu suddenly felt a cold stare.

He turned his head and found that several Zerg were staring at him motionlessly.

The Zerg's face is composed of carapace, without muscles, it cannot express expressions like humans.They only looked at Nijito with huge and protruding black compound eyes, and the pair of empty eyes made people feel chills behind.

Nijiu felt that they might have recognized his and Ryan's human identities, and pushed down the hood again.

Downstairs, more than a dozen heavily armed security personnel squeezed to the display stand, and they removed the battle armor from the display stand.Surrounded by other security guards, they walked towards the stairs and brought the armor up.

At this time, the auctioneer knocked on the door: "Hi, may I come in?"

Qingyan said: "Let him in."

The invisible demon clan showed its true form and opened the door for the auctioneer.The auctioneer didn't expect that there were monsters guarding the door, and was frightened by them, so he walked into the box clutching his chest.

With lingering fears in his heart, the auctioneer walked up to Qingyan and asked respectfully, "How do you want to pay?"

"Give me the pen."

Qing Yan said, took the pen in his hand, and signed his name on the electronic check.

After the auctioneer checked, Chao Qingyan bowed deeply: "Do you need us to help you send the auction item back? We can provide escort."

Qing Yan shook her head: "No need, I will take it back myself."

The auctioneer bowed again, and retreated with them after the guards brought the armor in.

After the outsider left, Qingyan waved his hand, and saw a large piece of green vines suddenly grow on the terrace, completely covering the terrace and isolating the place from the outside world.

Qingyan said: "Nijiu, go and try that mecha."

Nijiu was stunned: "Me?"

Qingyan was typing on the optical brain without raising her head: "Well, your height is suitable, help me see if it fits."

Qingyan was calm and breezy, he didn't look like someone who just spent [-] million energy coins, as if [-] million was as insignificant to him as five energy coins.

Nijiu: "..."

Damn rich.

Now that Qingyan has spoken, Nijiu can only walk towards the mecha placed by the wall.

After Nijito approached the mecha, the mecha automatically scanned his iris and opened the entrance on the chest.

The artificial intelligence of the mecha issued a mechanical notification sound.

"Welcome to the Empire Mecha A6, I am AI Selina. Since this is the first time to use it, I will default you as the first user of this mecha..."

Nijiu didn't listen carefully to the artificial intelligence's prompt, and stepped into the mech in one step.

Numerous operation boxes and prompts popped up in front of him, and Nijiu closed them one by one.

The mech scanned Nijito's iris again, and tightened the buffer layer according to Nijito's size.

Through the buffer layer, the mecha was lightly attached to Nijiu's body, as light as imagined.Even wearing this mecha, Nijiu can still move freely, and even feels that her body has become lighter.

The battle armor has a power propulsion system that is not inferior to that of a spaceship. Now Nijiu can even jump tens of meters high with a single jump, and can even crush a piece of granite with ease.

Ryan asked outside: "How about your brother, is it suitable?"

Nijiu said: "It's good, the armor is very light, and I hardly feel tired."

His voice was amplified outside, sounding hazy.

After putting on the mecha, Nijiu's strength became much stronger, and he couldn't control his body.Nijito accidentally knocked down the table with too much force.

He bent down subconsciously, trying to lift the table up.

The moment Nijito bent down, he felt something hit his back.That thing is located at the spine of the battle armor, it seems to be a smooth sphere, very hard, the size of a fist.

Nebato took out that spherical thing.

It was a transparent ball, which looked like a crystal texture, but it had no resemblance to a crystal.Its crystals are extremely clear, emitting a galaxy-like light in the dark, and falling into the armor like rhinestones.

Nijiu pressed the "Close" button on the virtual control panel, and with a clicking sound, the battle armor was automatically put away and turned into a silver suitcase, which was similar in size to a laptop in the ancient Earth period.

The suitcase was very light, Nijiu lifted it from the ground and walked towards Qingyan.

At this time, Qingyan was sitting alone at the other end of the box, and Nijiu was holding the crystal ball and walking towards him.

There was a thick layer of moss on the ground, and Nijito didn't make a sound when she stepped on it.Qingyan was concentrating on typing, and didn't notice Mijiu's approach.

Mijiu walked behind Qingyan, and said softly to him: "Teacher, I found this in the battle armor—"

While talking, Nijiu inadvertently glimpsed the virtual screen of Qingyan's optical brain.Qingyan was writing an email, with the word "Resignation" clearly written in the title.

Before Nijiu's brain could react, a sentence had already blurted out.

"Teacher Qingyan, are you resigning?"

Qingyan heard Nijiu's voice, he turned his head and saw Mijiu's stunned expression, knowing that he had seen everything.

Qingyan sighed: "I originally wanted to tell you when we parted."
