Book of Disaster

"The rules of the Great Xumi Auction Pavilion are very strict. The higher the level of the auction items, the more confidentiality is required. Moreover, many of our customers do not like noisy environments, and do not want too many people to know what they bought, especially their competitors. So in the end we chose this place."

"Looking at the entire universe, there is no place safer than the dead silence, vastness, and boundlessness of the universe before us. Even if outsiders are interested, it is difficult to find this place. Moreover, the location here is not fixed, but has been constantly changing for tens of millions of years. Without our guidance, even those omnipotent people, even ancient immortals and Buddhas, would find it difficult to find this place."

The young waitress Qinglian explained.

"!!!"

Bai Qi remained silent, but ripples arose in his heart.

This Great Sumeru Auction House is really full of mysteries.

This kind of method... is simply unpredictable.

"Of course, we have always attached great importance to the privacy of our guests. In addition to what I mentioned before, we have also taken other protective measures. If you don't like the transparent environment of the box, we can do that."

The voice of the young waitress Qinglian came into his ears again. She waved her hand. The next moment, with a click, accompanied by the sound of the formation turning, the crystal room where Bai Qi was located quickly changed from transparent to glazed black.

Not only that, there are curtains hanging down from the walls leading to space, and on the curtains are carved exquisite and powerful prohibitions and magic arrays with precious special gold foil, which to some extent also plays a certain role in isolation and protection.

"Of course, if you don't like it, you can also change the room back to its original crystal room."

Qinglian said again.

"No, that's it."

Bai Qi said after thinking for a moment.

His current identity is indeed sensitive, and there are all kinds of people here, even gods and strange creatures like red dragons... Bai Qi has no idea what other inhuman and perverted monsters there are.

In such a special place, Bai Qi didn't want to reveal too much information about himself.

Qinglian nodded and did not intervene anymore. Instead, she stood obediently behind Bai Qi in the corner of the crystal room.

"My mission has been completed. The next step is to wait for the auction to officially begin. If you like something, just go ahead and auction it. Of course, if you have any questions, you can always ask me."

When Qinglian said this, she was like a sculpture, with her lips tightly closed, motionless, and no longer interfering with Bai Qi.

Bai Qi took a look and found a large chair in this huge crystal room. For some reason, its style reminded him of the sofa in his previous life, and it was also decorated very exquisitely.

Bai Qi pondered for a moment, and without any hesitation, he sat down naturally on the wide chair.

The core auction has not officially started yet. Taking advantage of this free time, Bai Qi also looked around carefully outside.

Although the entire crystal room had dimmed and turned into a dark room, Bai Qi also discovered that the huge floor-to-ceiling black glazed crystal wall in front of him seemed to be a one-way transparent passage. From Bai Qi's position, he could clearly see the store on the other side, but it seemed not easy for outsiders to see the situation inside.

"This place... is like a big beehive."

Bai Qi observed carefully for a moment and then had an idea in his mind.

There were many crystal boxes like the one he was in, and there were far more than one. All these crystal boxes formed a circle, and the flat area in the middle should be the sales venue of the Great Sumeru Core Auction.

Time passed slowly, and Bai Qi seemed to be the first to arrive. Bai Qi took a quick look and there didn't seem to be many people in the entire store except him.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly -

"Ow!"

Just opposite Bai Qi's box, a deafening roar of a ferocious beast suddenly came, breaking the silence of the entire auction hall.

Bai Qi's heart moved and he sat up slightly, looking in the direction of the sound. In just a moment, he saw a huge, unknown black sea beast with dark skin and a wet surface, walking in from outside with a ferocious man.

The sturdy man had muscular body flexed, and was only three meters tall. His long hair was loose like seaweed, completely different from the straight hair of ordinary people.

Not only that, when Bai Qi's gaze swept across his face, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

In this strange world, everyone looks the same, but the sturdy man who walked in from the door has deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and a face covered with thick, steel-like beard, which is fundamentally different from the people in this world.

"This is--"

Bai Qi frowned slightly, feeling confused.

For a moment, he seemed to have an illusion, as if he saw the white Western people from another world before he traveled through time.

After entering this world for so long, this is the first time that Bai Qi has seen people of such different styles.

However, despite this, Bai Qi also noticed that the man's eyes were not the azure or dark blue that he had imagined, but dark black, revealing obvious oriental features.

"What's going on? Why does it feel weird?"

Bai Qi frowned and said nothing.

"That's the Northern Sea Clan."

At this moment, the voice of the young waitress Qinglian came from the corner of the room. She noticed Bai Qi's gaze and explained from behind.

"We have a wide variety of guests. We have all kinds of guests. We never refuse anyone who comes. You will understand later, young master."

"Oh?"

Bai Qi nodded. It was obvious that based on their current exploration of this world, there were probably many things in this entire alien world that were beyond his expectations and that he was not familiar with.

For example, this Northern Sea Clan, Bai Qi couldn’t hear clearly what it was for a while.

But it doesn’t matter anymore, Bai Qi’s focus is not on them.

At the same time, the burly man over three meters tall in the opposite room seemed to notice Bai Qi and glanced in his direction.

However, Bai Qi had already triggered the restriction of the room, and because of the black glass blocking the view, the other party could not see Bai Qi in the room.

Then very quickly, the other party's crystal box also darkened, the curtain dropped, and the transparent crystal turned into black glass. Bai Qi suddenly could not see the situation inside the other party's box.

"...Speaking of which, if you want to see the other competitors in the box clearly, this is your only chance."

A light bulb went off in Bai Qi's mind and he suddenly thought of something.

When everyone enters the box, the room becomes transparent and then becomes dark. This short time difference serves as the only observation window.
