Scavenging Notes: I am the Lucky Star of the End Times

A string of small hovercrafts quickly entered the tunnel and then stopped one by one in front of the people in line.

Siyan led Lao Qin to the door of one of the hover cars and stood there. He scanned the auction invitation card in his hand at the sensor device on the door.

After a "beep" sound, the door of the hover car opened and two people got in.

The interior of the car was very bright, but without glass, he couldn't see what was outside, which made Lao Qin feel a little regretful.

But there was no regret for a few minutes. Soon, the hovercraft stopped, and then the door opened, and a mechanical countdown sounded:

"There are 29,28,27,26, , , left until closing time..."

The two got out of the car quickly, and what they saw was still the pitch-black tunnel.

Siyan was familiar with the place and scanned the invitation card at a place on the metal wall where a small red light was flashing.

Almost in an instant, a string of dim white ground lights lit up on the ground of the tunnel. I continued walking forward along the ground lights. When I reached the end, I heard a "whoosh" sound and the metal wall in front of me opened automatically. It looked like an elevator. Siyan walked in first, followed closely by Lao Qin.

The metal door closed with almost no feeling. About 3 seconds later, the metal door opened again, and what came into view was the auction reception center with a red carpet and crystal chandeliers.

That’s right, it was a crystal chandelier, even brighter than the one Xu Sansan dug out at that time!

A middle-aged man in a black suit and white gloves came over and said with a smile:

"Please show me your invitation card."

Siyan was familiar with the situation and handed over the invitation card. The middle-aged man scanned the information on the card and said:

"Welcome, Mr. Tian Ji."

After saying that, he looked at Lao Qin again.

Lao Qin was a little embarrassed because he couldn't produce an invitation card.

Four eyes speak at the right time:

"Oh~ I am this gentleman's guide."

The middle-aged man nodded and asked Lao Qin to show the optical computer. After scanning, he continued:

"According to the guide principle, the person being guided needs to bid on or sell 5 items cumulatively, and then he or she will automatically become the inviter..."

Lao Qin understood and became a little excited. In other words, if he could come a few more times, wouldn't he also be able to be invited to the auction? !

Led by the middle-aged man, the two entered a room. The room was not big and contained a set of sofas for three people, a wooden coffee table, and an extra-large electronic screen on the wall. The screen displayed: Premium, Service, and three other function buttons.

The other button is obviously gray, which means that this function is not open to the invited people in this room.

It was also the first time for Siyan to enter the outer room of the auction so early in advance. Basically, every time he arrived, the auction would start. The scene inside the auction would be directly displayed on the screen, and he only had to watch.

So at this moment, facing the several options on the screen, he was also a little curious.

I clicked the "Service" function button first, and a long string of numbers occupied half of the screen: starting from 3000 contribution points to or more...

There is no way to know...

Because the stingy Siyan was so shocked when he saw the price that he immediately exited the interface, as if if he looked at it for one more second, these contribution points would fly out of his account.

This was a tough situation for Old Qin who was still curious. However, he was still rational because he knew that the place he arrived at today was the inner city, where powerful people often frequented. So he was mentally prepared for the high consumption.

However, before he could see clearly what the specific services were, Siyan had already switched the interface, and as a freeloader, he couldn't make any requests.

Siyan got to the point and clicked the "Superior" function key, then heard a mechanical voice:

"The reviewer is on the way. Please wait patiently. We will conduct the product inspection on site. Once the product passes the inspection, the item will be tasted directly that evening based on your reserve price..."

Soon, the door of the room opened again, and a masked woman of unknown age came in with a toolbox and said in a gentle voice: "Hello, I am today's reviewer. Please show me the item you want to be rated."

Lao Qin finally got a little nervous. With his hands trembling slightly, he opened the metal safe he brought with him secretly, away from the gazes of the other two people, and carefully took out two pairs of artificial PU leather hiking boots from it.

The evaluator took it with both hands and placed it on the metal panel that rose automatically from the top layer of the toolbox.

She took out a transparent glass piece from the bottom of the toolbox, something like a magnifying glass, and carefully checked the shoe from front to back, inside to outside, and top to bottom. Then she nodded silently and made a note on the computer.

Then he took out a metal detector from the middle layer of the tool box and conducted a comprehensive scan of the hiking boots.

Then there was a "beep" sound, and a mechanical voice came:

"Old Century Men's Shoes, Made of Artificial PU Leather."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Qin's heart, which had been lifted high, could finally settle down.

I just heard the reviewer say:

"The product has passed the inspection. The recommended minimum price is one pair of Contribution Points..."

Lao Qin's mind suddenly "buzzed", he had no idea what the reviewer said next, he only remembered that "the minimum price is one pair of contribution points"...

This seems like it’s about to be released! It’s about to be released!

Soon it was 21:00 and the auction officially began!

On the screen in the room, the auctioneer was introducing today's featured items, the first of which was said to be the most complete treasure map of the old century preserved to date.

It was found in Wasteland City No. 609. When it was discovered, the treasure map was well preserved and was protected by the old century owner using professional plastic sealing technology and hidden in the same place as the old century coins.

Later, a group of experts from the base research institute took the lead in deciphering the map for five years, but still failed to identify the specific location of the treasure.

According to the evaluators' analysis, the map is very ingenious and complex in design, and the treasure has probably not been successfully discovered yet.

Therefore, if you bid for this map, you will not only get an antique from the old century, but also a chance to discover treasures...

The auctioneer introduced the auction vividly, and many participants inside and outside the venue were very excited. They were eager to try and get this hidden treasure...

If Xu Sansan was present at the scene, he would definitely roll his eyes in silence. Isn’t this just the WeChat QR code placed next to the cash register?

How did it become a treasure map?

…………

Inside the cabin, Xu Sansan of course knew nothing about what happened at the auction. She had just finished an hour of training tonight and dragged her tired body to the plastic shed to wash up.

Soon he fell asleep on the straw mat.

At this time, in the shantytown, in the quiet night, most people have gone to bed.

Just after 00:00 midnight, the 336th year of the star calendar, the 76th day of the hot season,

A dark figure sneaked into the rattan fence of Xu Sansan's house...
