If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

'Kiku Ichimonji Zong' was delivered to Lin Nian by several bodyguards in black. This was the first transaction item to be transferred to the owner so quickly. Normally, the transfer of transaction items and amounts would be done by the organizer. It was conducted under the witness, but it was obvious that the seller on the 22nd was confident in the credibility of the organizer and presented the 5 million transaction item to the buyer in a very grand manner.

This kind of treatment is not surprising. On the contrary, it is quite normal. A handicraft worth 100,000 US dollars is sold for a sky-high price of 5 million. Even if anyone is a seller of trading goods, they can’t wait to send the items to the hands of the donor’s father quickly, so as not to lose money. The other party regretted it temporarily. But under the witness of the organizer, once the hammer settled, there was no regret. This is why everyone raised the price so cautiously. If you shout out the price, you have to pay the price. You name it. Each number represents a corresponding weight of wealth.

The sixth traded item was successfully hammered, followed immediately by the seventh item, the 'Wizard's Braid', which is said to be the braid left by a wizard who was burned to death as a child in the Middle Ages. After being burned through a specific ritual, it can curse others to death. No one knows whether it actually works, because there is only one braid and no one has burned it, and the so-called 'specific ritual' has long been lost.

The starting price was US$50,000, which was considered the lowest price in the entire auction. There was not much competition, and as expected, it was won by No. 66 at a price of US$200,000.

The eighth auction item, the 'Human Soul Lamp', is a large green lantern that is said to be able to collect souls around the dead. It can be lit without kerosene or electricity. It is the soul in the lantern that burns, so it emits a shrill sound when illuminated. wailing sound.

The starting price was US$800,000, and the transaction price was US$3.3 million, bought by No. 66.

The ninth auction item, 'The Hard Skull of an Unknown Creature', has no match in the gene pool. Just like its name, it is a very hard skull piece that cannot be broken open without a hammer. It has not been tried with a hydraulic press. After all, the seller He also made a lot of money relying on him.

The starting price was US$200,000. Facts have proved that the seller’s judgment of not testing it with a hydraulic press was correct. The competition for the skull was very fierce. Most of the bids were made by people in the VIP room. The transaction price was as high as US$23 million, and it was still bought by No. 66. Next, the steep price forced any bidder to stop and give in, secretly guessing how long it would take for the other party's capital chain to show signs of tightening.

The tenth, the eleventh, the twelfth

The trading items were displayed one after another, and what was originally unbelievable gradually made people feel numb - all the trading items were bought by Buyer No. 66, whether jewelry or works of art, rare or weird, Buyer No. 66 They all showed a high degree of interest. As long as he made a bid, he would follow it to the end. It was as if there was a national treasury standing behind him with inexhaustible funds.

No one dared to question whether he had the capital to undertake these sky-high transactions, because the organizer who should be questioned most did not say a word from beginning to end.

"Is this really good? I always feel a little too relaxed." Wan Boqian looked back at the vast opera house several times, and countless people also fell in love with her. They just took a fancy to her while spying on Lin Nian. After a few glances, even Chu Zihang and Shao Yifeng also enjoyed this treatment, but they did not have Lin Nian's high-profile and sharp temperament, so they were quickly ignored.

What's interesting is that Lin Nian used the Black Prince Group behind Shao Yifeng as a basis to participate in the auction, but none of the dignitaries present could recognize Shao Yifeng, the noble son of the Black Prince - the dignitaries who came here tonight. They are all from the older generation. The new generation is not yet qualified to have their own seats in this opera house. It seems much normal not to know Shao Yifeng. Furthermore, compared to Shao Yifeng, Lin holding the number 66 plate Nian is much more like a young man than this little fat guy.

"How long until the people from the execution department arrive?" Lin Nian held up a sign and waited for the next transaction item to be brought up. Under his feet was a box containing a national treasure-level sword. Originally, the bodyguards in black suggested that he follow the box. They were handcuffed together, but he refused. The knife fell into his hand. I am afraid that he should be worried that it was not him who was robbed, but someone else.

"Ten minutes." Wan Boqian was also heated up by the atmosphere of the auction, her body temperature rose a little, and the skin on her neck was pink. She was constantly communicating with Norma from beginning to end. The biggest flaw in this charity party was that there was no The signal jammer was activated because the organizers were so confident that the official side had been cleared. Even if someone boldly called the police to report an illegal assembly, they probably wouldn't get any feedback.

"Are there ten minutes left?" Lin Nian nodded slightly, letting the buyers compete for the twenty-first trading item that appeared at the moment, and took the time to look at the time on his phone.

The trade fair has been going on for an hour. Since receiving the notice, the execution department has opened up the joints above, mobilized all the troops in the nearest city, standardized the specific plan, divided various tasks, and now it is only ten minutes to arrive, in terms of time efficiency. Judging from the above, it was very efficient to solve it in one hour. After all, no one expected that this mission would involve this situation.

In ten minutes, the execution department's army is approaching. If the table can be overturned before the end of the trade fair, Lin Nian and his team will not have to take the risk and jump on the stage to control the market.

"20 million." Lin Nian raised his sign and tripled the price of the currently traded items. Once again, he received a lot of angry and crazy looks. The trader also started counting down without any surprise, and finally the hammer fell to determine the winner. To prevent the transaction item from changing hands prematurely like the 'Kiku Ichimonji Norimune' just now, he still had to continue bidding to buy the item.

"It's a pity." Lin Nian put down the sign.

"What's the pity?" Chu Zihang asked, Shao Yifeng behaved like a fattened pet, lying on the seat and staring at the ceiling as if dead. There was nothing for him to worry about, so he was just a spectator the whole time. The current situation is also quite under control.

Originally, they planned to complete this mission with a three-person team, but after the mission goal changed, it changed from a 'B' level arrest mission to an 'A' level suppression mission. The safest way is to wait for the execution department to temporarily withdraw. troops to carry out large-scale suppression and cleanup.

The executive department will arrive in ten minutes. It must be a large army. Chu Zihang doesn't know what the per capita level of the executive department is, but if every member of the executive department is half as ruthless as Lin Nian, then suppressing this opera house is simply It doesn't matter, all the collections will be confiscated, everyone will be arrested, and they will have no worries.

Now Lin Nian's job only needs to keep bidding as before, stabilize the persona he established before, and avoid accidents when alchemy items come into contact with people. Their mission was actually half successful after successfully notifying the execution department. Now as long as the trade fair does not end early, the overall situation is basically decided.

But now there was regret on Lin Nian's face.

Facing Chu Zihang's doubts, Lin Nian raised his head slightly and gestured to the hundreds of guests below the opera house: "Why do you think these people are here tonight?"

"Trade fair." Chu Zihang answered this obvious answer.

"What's the deal party for?"

"shopping?"

"But I bought everything." Lin Nian smiled coldly and said, "Then what's the point of them coming here tonight?"

Chu Zihang paused for a moment and suddenly understood what Lin Nian meant. He turned to look at the silent VIP room and the peaceful people sitting in the opera house who still showed no impetuousness or anger.

Twenty-one trading items, a total of twenty-one trading items fell into the hands of the same person. Not everyone can get something rare enough to become a trading item, so there is still a huge difference in the number of buyers and sellers. The fact that there are more than 20 trading items among nearly two hundred guests is considered the largest number in history. The transaction is live.

But if most of the powerful people tonight came here for the feast of transactions, and they have been sitting on the bench for twenty-one rounds and still have nothing to gain, why has no one shown real 'anger' and 'dissatisfaction' until now? ?

Chu Zihang shuddered slightly as he looked at the cold and calm faces of the group of people under the afterglow of the spotlight. Until now, these people did not even show any agitation. Everyone was still sitting calmly in their seats. Quietly waiting for the next transaction item to appear.

"The so-called careerists, capitalists, and powerful people all have one thing in common." Lin Nian said calmly, "That is patience. The patience of a poisonous snake hiding in the bushes and muddy water to ambush its prey. The woman named Chen Motong said this before She said, 'Everyone who has traveled thousands of miles to come here is here for something they are interested in.' We have previously had the conjecture that these people came here for the 'finale', but I didn’t expect these people to be so purposeful.”

"So you have made high-profile bids on every trading item from the beginning of the auction, because you want to test what the mysterious trading item is?" Wan Boqian asked.

"It's a side test. After all, if everyone really comes here for one thing, they will beat each other's brains out without me bidding." Lin Nian said, "I'm worried about bidding on every item. These people don’t even know what they want. In case someone inexplicably succeeds in stealing the chicken, this possibility is very low, but we have to guard against it. We have too little information, but now we can almost rule out this possibility. Now, everyone knows what they want and will never take action until the critical moment."

"The arrogance and arrogance I showed was certainly hateful, but after all, I still didn't touch the thing that they really regarded as forbidden, so they had enough patience to watch me dance and perform, and regarded me as a clown. Everyone was hiding in A despicable gunman in the bush will never fire a cold shot easily before the real prey comes out." The boy chuckled and said, "Perhaps many people thought that my previous performance was to pave the way for the final thing, to highlight My financial resources and determination, right?”

Chu Zihang raised his head and said, "The regret you mentioned before turns out to be..."

"The execution department will be here in about ten minutes. It's a pity that we won't have the chance to wait until the thing that attracts these people is on stage." Lin Nian answered.

"Everything will be confiscated by us after the enforcement department suppresses it. We will just look for it slowly when the time comes," Wan Boqian said.

"No, what I mean is that if I can wait until that mysterious trading item is put on the shelves, then I can just throw out billions or tens of billions to raise the price with them. Look at these people who just raised the price with me. It should be quite interesting to see guys who think so highly of themselves jumping up from their seats and contorting their faces with anger." The boy shook his head.

This blatant and disturbing statement made the three people beside him look at him sideways. They looked at the boy with different expressions. The former two raised their eyebrows and said nothing, while the latter looked like his parents had died or their parents had just died. , trying to drag Lin Nian’s parents to die together.

With that said, the twenty-second trading item was moved onto the stage. During the transportation, this trading item was not even covered with red velvet. Lin Nian lost interest after just one glance. Many of the more than 20 trading items before Things just have weird and weird gimmicks, but no real value, and this must be the same.

"What is that?" Wan Boqian also saw the trading items held in the trader's hands, with some surprise on her face.

"Alive." Chu Zihang said.

It was a cylindrical glass bottle, about thirty centimeters long, filled with a colloidal white nutrient solution, and a giant yellow-green leech was soaked in the nutrient solution.

ps①: This is the last update of this year. Everyone is going to celebrate the New Year. I don’t think there will be many people reading tonight, so I’ll just update it twice.

ps②: Everyone who knows what a leech is must understand it. I also need to study the original work.
