"Item No. 12, equipment, [Spiral Pocket Watch], from the 'Scepter' copy. Twisting the dial will allow the wearer to gain the ability to predict the future in a very short period of time - of course, the effect is very unstable, and the information obtained about the future is mostly incomplete fragments."

The oval case is made of an unknown alloy, with a reverse-rotating gear set nested inside. The dial is inlaid with several polyhedron gems, which automatically reorganize into a circle when stationary. Some kind of magnetic sand is suspended under the glass cover.

At the end of the dance, an obese middle-aged man took it away and put it directly on his wrist.

........................................

"Lot No. 14, equipment, [Voice Pattern Ceramic Jar], which stores all sounds received in the last fifteen seconds and reorganizes them into an infrasonic weapon. In limited testing, it has great lethality, but its specific source is unknown."

The black pottery jar engraved with spiral grooves was taken away by an old lady in her sixties and left with the organizer.

........................................

"Lot No. 15, Features, [Ghost Captain], Improves leadership, endurance, and physical stability. Active use can literally summon a ghost ship. Our research team believes that there is still room for improvement..."

I have to say, as a lot in the second half of the auction, this one really surprised Gao Yi a little.

After all, "summoning a ghost ship is too surreal..."

Finally, it was bought by a boy who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, who knocked open the [Cache Gold Bar] on the spot and gave it new features.

If it weren't for the waiter's earnest advice, Gao Yi doubted that the little boy would directly summon the ghost ship.

To be honest, Gao Yi really wants to take a look...

The next ones, number 16 and 17, are a strange metal device from a copy of the "Sword" and a coral-shaped potted plant, respectively.

The former is called the "Portable Laboratory", which is said to be able to instantly create a professional laboratory anywhere and automatically analyze the specific conditions of the soil, air, water, and even organisms in the current area.

The latter is called [Good Luck Coral]. It secretes a kind of golden liquid from the top every day. If you collect it and drink it, you can get good luck that lasts for the whole day - but it seems that as the number of times you drink it increases, it will produce unpredictable negative effects.

I have to say that these two items are very useful equipment.

At the "Ripple Masquerade Ball", it naturally attracted a lot of competition among the guests.

Unfortunately, none of them are very suitable for Gao Yi.

Although the [Portable Laboratory] is very useful, Gao Yi is not a technology or research-oriented player, so he cannot use it to its best effect.

[Lucky Coral] is not as flexible and useful as [Lucky Necklace]... However, [Lucky Necklace] is an evolved equipment, maybe the coral potted plant will have different effects after evolution, it's hard to say...

Of course, these two things don’t actually have anything to do with high quality. Judging from the number of competitors and the intensity of the competition, their prices must have reached another high.

In fact, the strange thief named "Owl" did not dampen the guests' passion for competing for good things, but made the competition in the ballroom even more intense.

The current situation is naturally the result of the organizer's consideration.

The host chose to conceal the fact that the "owl" existed and announced that the sudden power outage was caused by a mutation in the mummy's body.

The waiter then removed exhibit No. 11, allowing the entire "Ripple Masquerade" to continue.

Not surprisingly, as the boss's favorite, the organizer of the dance party still chose to put profit first.

You may not be able to catch the thief, but you must earn any money you can.

With this idea in mind, the "Ripple Masquerade" was started again, the mummy was removed, and the subsequent items were brought in one by one.

In a blink of an eye, we have arrived at item number 18.

Several guests who had participated in multiple auctions were already a little out of breath, after all, they had to dance for a long time for each auction.

Gao Yi and Zheng Qiqing still maintain the record of zero appearances.

However, the staff of "Ripple Masquerade" are professional enough and will not come to question anything or lower the service standards because of this.

The boss must have thought it through clearly. It doesn't matter if the guests don't spend money for the time being, even if they eat and drink for free after getting on board and don't buy anything.

As long as there is one time when something that the customer is interested in appears and is successfully sold, the money can be earned back countless times.

What's more, Zheng Qiqing did not fail to buy things. Long before the dance started, she purchased a large amount of potions and extraordinary materials through the boss's channels, and the prices were also very high.

As a guest, it is also good enough.

Of course, after confirming the truth about his father and the "Minghua Group", Zheng Qiqing probably won't hand over these things again.

Let her decide how to deal with it later. As this girl is able to handle various troublesome matters for a multinational group, her ability is beyond doubt.

If you ask Gao Yi if he wants to get a share, he will definitely say so, but nearly 200 million worth of potions and extraordinary materials is far beyond what he can bear.

Even if it were piled up in front of him, he wouldn't know how to store, sell, or allocate it...

All I can say is that professional matters should be left to professionals.

In any case, the matter of "Minghua Group" should be put aside for the time being. The current situation of "Ripple Masquerade" is becoming increasingly grim.

The other guests may be able to slightly notice the change in atmosphere, but they cannot really understand the reason for this change in "atmosphere".

The anxiety, worry, unhappiness and resentment in my heart began to accumulate, and I wanted to tear the competitors around me into pieces and seize every remaining item.

Similar emotions spread throughout the ballroom.

Gao Yi turned his head and looked at Zheng Qiqing beside him.

Before he could ask, the pink-haired girl, who already had some tacit understanding, gave an answer:

"I've felt similar emotions at previous events, but... definitely not as strong as this time!"

Combined with the increasingly excited and inflammatory words of the host on the podium, it is not difficult to guess that this is some kind of tactic used by the organizer.

Maybe it’s the aromatherapy, or something in the drinks and food?

Of course, this is an extraordinary world, and who knows what strange things the boss's followers can come up with.

However, what can be confirmed is that this is some kind of incitement and interference in the spiritual and mental realm.

The main purpose should be to make guests' desire to consume stronger and to encourage more intense bidding.

Ultimately, it allows [the boss] to make more money.

If you think about it carefully, how could the followers of that "boss" not do some tricks - after all, making money is a matter of principle.

But strangely, this "influence" tonight seemed a little too strong.

It is not just the inner restlessness, but also the outward irritation and anger of the guests.

There have been several incidents of people swearing and yelling at waiters since the beginning.

Although for the high-level alien wearing the [Mist Mask], this level of impact is nothing.

But obviously, it is enough to affect the minds of ordinary guests who have no resistance in this regard.

But...is this really conducive to the development of the "Ripple Masquerade"?

The current situation has not yet completely gotten out of control, but it has reached a critical point.

Then there was the consideration that there were several unexploded explosives buried among the guests.

The next development is really hard to predict...

Sighing, Gao Yi leaned back on the sofa, enjoying the warmth and comfort that money bought him.

Try to rest as much as possible before the final riot begins.
