After the shuttle bus stopped in front of a building, Qin Miao and other alliance members who were not good at speaking got off the bus first.

The crowd, still not yet satisfied with the conversation, continued chatting as they followed behind.

Qin Miao looked around, and then at the skyscraper with floor-to-ceiling glass walls in front of him, he gained a new understanding of the economic strength of "Garden of Eden".

Qin Miao had never seen such a high-tech building, even in the city center of the provincial capital, H City.

Uniformed staff led everyone into the building. As soon as they stepped through the door, a broadcast voice came from above their heads.

"Welcome to the Garden of Eden. Dear guests, please go to the office area on the 12th floor to discuss various cooperation matters."

No one said a word as they followed the staff up the elevator.

"Wow, this elevator is bigger than the house I live in. The lights are bright too!"

Aotian at the "Canmeng Base" looked around, grinned and sighed.

Someone else echoed: "That's right. With such a tall building and such a large elevator, it must consume a lot of electricity, right? Our base can't even generate electricity. There are no lights at night, it's pitch black..."

Ding--

The elevator prompt sound interrupted the crowd's envious voices. Everyone looked up and saw the golden number 12 on the display screen. When the elevator door opened, they stepped out one after another.

"Hahaha welcome all the distinguished guests!"

At the elevator door, a man in a black tuxedo rubbed his hands and greeted with a smile. He was wearing half a mask, and his exposed eyes were filled with an indescribable eagerness.

Qin Miao scanned the man from head to toe and noticed the nameplate on his chest, D07.

D07 greeted everyone warmly along the way and led everyone through the spacious and magnificent lobby on the 12th floor with brisk steps.

The exquisite crystal chandelier on the ceiling of the hall emits soft light, which falls on the tiled floor through the refractive surface of the crystal cut, like beautiful stars.

The stars were bewitching, and when they came to their senses, they had been led into room 07 by D024.

The layout of the room is exactly like a large conference room. In the center of the room is a marble square conference table. The tabletop is as smooth as a mirror, vaguely reflecting the figures of everyone.

After everyone sat down one by one, D07 raised his hand slightly to signal a staff member in a dark blue uniform in the room to come forward and pour tea for everyone.

Although everyone appeared to be polite, they all remained silent on the tea on the table.

D07 didn't care at all, still smiling eagerly, and before anyone could ask, he introduced, "I believe you all came here for the auction, so I won't keep you in suspense and will first introduce the various rules of the auction to you."

"The auction will officially start at 9 a.m. tomorrow. You can all enter the venue in an orderly manner before this time. As the radio message said, the items for sale are not only the materials produced by this base, but also the materials you bring with you."

"From now until the auction begins, everyone can come back here and register the items they brought. The items you registered will be auctioned anonymously. Of course, if the person providing the items wants to auction them under their real name, I have no objection."

"All auction materials will be paid for with 'crystal cores' as currency. When the auction is over, the second round of transactions will begin."

"The second stage of the transaction is 'barter'. Let's use this base as an example. When you have a very rare 'Special Crystal Core of the Rule System' and don't need ordinary crystal core currency, you can go on stage in the 'barter' stage, state the item you want to exchange, and exchange it with other guests."

"If none of you have the item I want, you will each take out an item of the same quality, and I will then consider whether to barter, and with whom."

After D07 finished speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

After he finished speaking, Chen Dong'er rolled his eyes and asked casually, "What if someone bids a price at an auction but can't produce a crystal core when the time comes to pay?"

D07 paused for a moment while drinking tea. He tilted his head, and the corners of his lips formed a tiny arc that tended to be straight. He replied in a nonsensical way, "I believe that everyone here is a decent and honest person. How could you do such a thing?"

He swept his cold eyes over everyone, and although his tone was gentle, it was slightly threatening: "You will not do anything to embarrass me, right?"

"Haha, of course, of course." Someone responded with an awkward laugh.

D07 retracted his gaze upon hearing this, stood up and said, "Then you can chat here for a while. In two hours, the staff will take you to your respective rooms to rest."

When the door of Room 024 was closed, everyone looked at each other, and felt that the hospitality of this "Garden of Eden" was a bit strange.

How could a host leave the venue and lock the guests in a room to chat?

Just now, the man in the tuxedo brought them to this conference room in a roundabout way, said a few words about the auction rules and left. Was it just to provide them with a place to chat?

Chen Dong'er, Liu Shaogang, Xin Changde and others looked at Qin Miao, waiting for the next instructions.

Qin Miao looked up at the camera in the right corner of the room, pursed her lips and said nothing.

The three superpowers of level 8, "Perception", "Signal" and "Communication", were activated at the same time. In just a moment, the 7 cameras, 2 eavesdropping devices and 4 recording devices hidden in the entire room were all temporarily ineffective.

"Do you want to take this opportunity to find out some information from everyone's conversation?" Qin Miao thought for a moment and felt that this method was too childish and did not match the style of "Garden of Eden".

She moved her fingertips slightly, and the 8th-level "Illusion" and "Hypnosis" abilities followed. The images recorded and transmitted by the camera were modified. Even if the people on the other side of the monitor wanted to investigate, they could only see the false image of everyone sitting quietly.

Qin Miao certainly didn't think that doing this could really fool someone watching the surveillance camera. After all, no one would believe that such a large table of people would sit quietly in a closed space for two hours without having any conversation.

Although Qin Miao had no secrets that she was afraid of being discovered by the other party, based on the principle of reciprocity, since others used such obvious eavesdropping equipment to "monitor" everyone, she could also use such obvious means to guard against this kind of "monitoring."

This was her clear expression of 'refusing to be spied on', just like she cut off the signal of the monitoring equipment when she was in the helicopter and in the shuttle bus.

Even if the other party discovers that the content transmitted by the device has been tampered with, they will not be embarrassed to openly ask everyone for an investigation.
