Pray and become a magical girl

Chapter 99 98 ~ Kuncheng
Kuncheng is a city that is known for its four seasons of spring. After the plane landed, the two young men left the airport and saw a very pleasant scenery, with lush trees surrounding the city.

"Damn, why didn't I think of applying to a school in Kuncheng?" Zhou Changqing said with a little regret after looking at the scenery here.

Cheng Haoran glanced at him. He really didn't know how his childhood friend's grades were, so he asked, "How many points did you get in the college entrance examination?"

"587." Zhou Changqing said the score without much concern.

Cheng Haoran's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "You applied to the police academy in Shuzhou with a score close to 590? You scored about 40 points higher."

His childhood friend felt that he was at a disadvantage, but Zhou Changqing shrugged indifferently and said, "It's close to home, and as a policeman, it feels the same wherever you go."

"Okay, as long as you're happy." Cheng Haoran was deflated. With his previous grades, it was a blessing to be able to get into a first-tier university.

Mr. Programmer suddenly felt fortunate that Super Power Era had come and found him a job.

Cheng Haoran walked in front, Zhou Changqing quickly followed and asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Go book a hotel first."

"Book a hotel? Does that mean we will stay in Kuncheng for a few days?"

"Yeah. Isn't that what business trips always do?"

"I didn't bring a change of clothes."

Cheng Haoran paused. He also had no experience in this area, so he boarded the plane empty-handed.

"I didn't bring any either... It's okay, I can buy some later."

"Then you pay. You were the one who pulled me out." Zhou Changqing said seriously.

Cheng Haoran was a little amused and helpless. After all, Zhou Changqing was a civil servant and he should not be short of money, and he himself did not spend much money.
-
Is it a property that I haven't discovered before?
Zhou Changqing took Cheng Haoran's silence as his agreement and said, "That's it."

"alright."

……

The wicked map directly navigated to a hotel that looked pretty good. As for the route, as long as it was on the ground, it would never direct to the underground sidewalk.

Fortunately, this is not a mountain city next to Chengdu, otherwise the navigation would probably have a quick route downstairs.

Cheng Haoran saw the elf on the table and found someone to vent his anger on. He asked, "Why didn't you remind us just now? We were almost hit by a car."

Andrew shouted back unconvinced, "I'm not a manual navigation, and judging by the speed of those cars, if the airbags could be deployed, you can ask the manufacturer to check the quality."

This was true. It was rare to see two people who were not afraid of death. The drivers who were catching shrimpers slowed down and watched Cheng Haoran and Zhou Changqing crossing the road quickly like monkeys.

As soon as they entered the hotel, the receptionist welcomed them warmly.

"Gentlemen, do you want to book a room?"

"A room with two large beds." Cheng Haoran was about to take out his ID card to register his information.

However, the receptionist said, "I'm sorry, sir, we don't have this standard room anymore. If you want to stay with two people, we only have one king-size bed room."

Zhou Changqing frowned and stood up to ask, "What do you mean? There are no single rooms left?"

The receptionist kept her professional fake smile and said, "Yes, sir. Recently, Queen City will host the largest auction in the southwest, so the hotel was fully booked a long time ago."

Cheng Haoran was very open-minded and said, "If there is no room, then there is no room. Let's book a king-size bed room. Can we add a pushchair?" As childhood friends, they had of course slept in the same bed. Although they are older now, it is okay to sleep in the same room, unless one of them does manual work at night.

"That's fine." The two young men in plain clothes at the reception asked tentatively, "If you two gentlemen are not here to attend the auction, I recommend that you go and have a look."

Auction is one of the means of commodity circulation, and it also appears in those animation dramas, all kinds of magical tools will appear here.

Although the seller would not be so bold as to sell the holy relic directly through an auction, those who can participate in the auction should be well-known people. Finding a local in Kuncheng might give us some clues.

“What will be sold there?”

Speaking of this, the receptionist suddenly became cautious, looked around, and then leaned close to Cheng Haoran's ear and whispered, "You also know that in the Super Power Era, many of the collections in the homes of the rich cannot be moved in time, so some treasure hunters went to 'rescue' those things in time."

"Oh~ the profiteers in the Super Power Era, this auction is not very serious." Cheng Haoran teased.

The receptionist suddenly defended them, "Hey, there's something wrong with what you said. They were also in danger of their lives, right?"

"Yeah, that's true." Cheng Haoran nodded. Although this might be a bit hypocritical, how could the original owners of those things prove that they were theirs?

Faced with disaster, they had no intention of taking the collections with them, and they probably wouldn't have thought of taking any proof with them.

Glancing at the receptionist, Mr. Programmer discovered a problem. "Miss, how do you know so much about this auction? Have you ever participated in it?"

"No, this auction is being held for the first time."

"Then why..."

"Because our hotel is the organizer."

Cheng Haoran understood that this was a way to improve his performance. He had originally been thinking that the way he and Zhou Changqing were dressed did not seem like the type of people who could afford to buy things at an auction.

"When and where will the auction be held?"

After hearing this, the receptionist's smile became more sincere. "It will be held on the basement floor of the hotel tomorrow night. Here is your room card and invitation letter. Please keep them safe."

Focusing on the two young men's attire again, the receptionist reminded them, "Sir, please wear formal attire."

Cheng Haoran walked towards the elevator without looking back, but just waved behind him.

Fortunately, the two of them were able to sell even one temporary formal suit, otherwise the receptionist would have to diligently sell it to other guests.

……

Holding the black invitation in his hand, Zhou Changqing's eyes sparkled, "Auction, don't you think we are becoming more and more like the chaebol young masters next door?"

"No, which young master is as useless as us?" Cheng Haoran told the truth mercilessly, and he didn't even let himself go.

"...Why do you always think about ruining your childhood friend's show?" Zhou Changqing said unhappily, and then put the invitation letter on the table.

Cheng Haoran complained again, "I learned from Lan Xiang. Who told you to set up the stage?"

"...Get lost." Walking beside the bed, Zhou Changqing asked again, "When do we start the investigation?"

Cheng Haoran's eyes moved to the invitation letter and said, "No hurry, let's go see what this auction is about first."
