Traveling through the apocalypse to raise a beauty

Black market auctions are different from auctions outside, and the auctioneer must be present.

Little Lan Yun turned into a little fox and nestled in Mu Yao's arms. Seeing that the bid outside had reached 25 million, he whispered, "A Yuan, if it's over 30 million, we don't want it."

Gu Yuan asked with a question mark on his face, "Why?"

"It's too expensive." The little fox lowered his head. Spirit crystals are rare metals, so they are naturally expensive. "It's not a very important experiment. There's no need to spend so much money on it. This has already exceeded the experiment budget. I'm just trying my luck."

Little Wen Sheng glanced at Zhen Qing and said with a smile, "30 million is not expensive in the black market. The price of black market auctions is always at least 10 million. This box of spirit crystals can be regarded as the sincerity of the future cooperation between the Wen family and the Lan family."

After saying that, he raised his hand to signal Wen Li, and then said, "Besides, we are still friends."

Wen Li immediately raised his hand and lit up the microphone, "The Wen family is closing the auction."

In the black market, black-label sellers have one chance to close the auction, which means that the item is directly won with the highest budget.

Generally, the auction is closed after the maximum auction budget of the item is exceeded. Although it may be a bit of an exaggeration to use it here, Young Master Wen is too lazy to bid, so it would be faster to close the auction directly.

The little fox panicked, "If they want to seal it, they should seal it in my name, how can they use the Wen family's name? The maximum budget is more than 50 million!"

"It's just closed." Little Wen Sheng said with a smile, "The last thing the Wen family lacks is money."

Xiao Lingjie was looking down at the auction list and said nonchalantly, "It's only 50 million. Don't be so stingy with your budget next time. I'll transfer another 100 million to you later."

Gu Yuan played with the fan, "Okay, Ah Yun, please help Wen Sheng keep an eye out for the 'Hua Yi' sword. That sword suits him very well."

"When you research and make it, give it to our Ling family first." Little Lingjie looked up at the projection on the French window, and was stunned when he heard that it was Xingjiang who was bidding outside, "He's here too?"

Xiao Lanyun blinked, and he smiled and said, "Okay."

Xiao Wensheng nodded, "Well, when they came here today, they informed the auction house and said they wanted two-thirds of the military metal materials this time."

Little Wei Yang was puzzled, "If I remember correctly, he is a human, right?"

Xiao Wensheng nodded.

Xiao Lingjie frowned slightly: "What does he need so much military metal for? To rebel?"

Gu Yuan lazily responded: "Maybe?"

Zhenqing and others: “….”

Mu Yao yawned, "Okay, we've bought the things, shall we go back?"

The team nodded collectively and left.

Everyone looked at the unusually large crowd outside, somewhat puzzled. Lan Yun exclaimed, "Wow!" "Why are there so many people in the black market today?"

"Isn't the black market always so lively?" Mu Yao looked around, "What are we going to do next?"

Little Wei Yang scratched his head. "Since we're here, why don't we go to the black market? I haven't been there yet, but I heard it's very lively."

Little Wensheng didn't know what he was thinking of. He suddenly curled his lips and looked at everyone, "Okay, there seems to be a lantern banquet tonight."

Xiao Lingjie looked at the young man next to him with malicious expression and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Really?!" Little Muyao likes nothing more than to join in the fun, and the Lantern Banquet sounds very lively.

Little Wensheng nodded and smiled brightly, "Really, really, very unique!"

Xiao Lanyun cheered, "Wow~~~"

Gu Yuan has memories, so of course he knows what the Lantern Banquet looks like. Even if he doesn't, there is something wrong with this sentence coming out of Wen Sheng's mouth, and only these three idiots would be fooled.

Little Wei Yang paid a little more attention, "A black market will have a lantern banquet?" This... doesn't sound right.

Just as Xiao Lingjie was about to speak, Wen Sheng covered his mouth with his spiritual entity. He saw this sinister black panther talking nonsense in front of the three people and looked at Gu Yuan helplessly.

Gu Yuan ignored him and instead watched Wen Sheng's performance in front with great interest.

Xiao Ling’s explanation: Damn, it’s a gay man.

"Why is there no Lantern Festival in the black market?"

Little Wensheng looked at Little Weiyang disapprovingly and said unhappily, "The black market is also a city, and the black market is Qinghe's most famous underground market center. There are also many ordinary people in the black market, okay? There will be activities during any festival, okay? What? You look down on the black market?"

“No, no.” Little Wei Yang waved his hands hastily. He still felt something was wrong, but after glancing at Gu Yuan and Ling Jie, he saw that they looked normal and suppressed his doubts. “Since there’s a banquet, it must be very lively. Let’s go and take a look.”

Xiao Wensheng looked at him with satisfaction, "Let's go!"

Xiao Lingjie was speechless. He endured it again and again, and used his mental power to knock the black entity off his mouth. In the end, he rolled his eyes and chased after him in two or three steps, "Young Master Wen will pay for everything today!"

Xiao Wensheng glanced at him, and seeing the expectant looks of the others, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll pay."

Everyone: “Yeah!!!”

Zhenqing and others: “….”

Although Zhenqing was also curious, he had Gu Yuan's memories. After flipping through them, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he knew that there was something wrong with Wen Sheng's smile.

But he was still curious why there was a lantern banquet in the black market.

"There's a lantern banquet in the black market?"

Lingjie suppressed his laughter, "Yes, it's quite famous. I was wondering why there were so many people in the black market today, it turns out it's because of this."

"The Lantern Banquet is famous because it is an annual freeloading event. The black market on this day will be very... um, let's just say beautiful."

Lingjie paused, and then said, "The black market will be very lively and beautiful on this day, and the prices of all items will be reduced by 20%."

"Of course, some businesses will also reduce prices by 30%, but this usually happens in the section for buying living things. There is an underground auction in the black market, where Deadpools are auctioned... and monsters from Area D. Although they are rarely seen in the main world due to rectification, they should still be seen everywhere in the world line."

Ling Jie crossed his arms and explained, "As for why it is called the 'Lantern Banquet', it is because on that day many businesses would hang up a mess of colorful lanterns to attract customers. Later, I don't know who started the trend, but people started to compete to see whose lanterns were the most beautiful, and slowly it became the Lantern Banquet."

Everyone ate the cookies and said "Oh~" in unison.

"Then according to Gu Yuan, they went to the underground auction?" Zhen Qing looked at Gu Yuan in front of him.

"Yes." Gu Yuan transmitted, "After we entered the black market, we looked around and found nothing to buy. Then we heard from others that a rare species had come to the dungeon today, so we followed to join in the fun. But right after we went in, an accident happened and those monsters ran out."

"We killed him together with Xingjiang and the others." Gu Yuan continued, flipping through his memories. "The black market was closed for a few days because of this incident. The first thing we did after returning was to report it to the teacher. The teacher sent people to cooperate with the Wen family and the Ling family to screen the entire black market before it was reopened."

"That rare species should be a 'Radiant'." Qiu Bieyi propped up his face, "This 'Radiant' should have been sent by Area D to the mutants here, but you guys strangled it in the cradle before it even started. This accident happened just in time."

"You haven't seen what that 'Radiant Spirit' looks like?" Wei Yang looked at him with a frown.

"Saw."

Gu Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the fan in his hand. "But it was only a moment. An accident happened just after we entered the auction venue in the underground city. A lot of things happened afterwards. My memory is not clear, and I vaguely forgot about this incident."

"There were quite a few people in the underground city. After they all rushed out, we were separated. It was at this time that I saw Si Yan's face in the crowd, but from then on I didn't know what happened to them. Later, when Wen Sheng and Ling Jie came back, they were covered in blood and unconscious and were rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment."

Zhenqing frowned, this was too much of a coincidence.

Gu Yuan sighed and quickly responded to the joke thrown by the team.

Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the black market.

Although I have seen it in my memory, it is another matter entirely when I see the real version.

Qiu Bieyi held his forehead with his hand, "I think you can change the aesthetics of the black market when you go back."

"Wen Sheng and I have always thought that this is a characteristic, so we have never corrected it." Ling Jie gave an awkward smile.

At the black market, bustling crowds shuttled between the stalls, all kinds of goods were on display, and a lively atmosphere filled the air. Because today was the lantern banquet, the "bright" lights intertwined in the night sky to form a prosperous scene, and all kinds of underworld lanterns competed for beauty, reflecting the eerie and weirdness of hell.

Everyone: "......"

Whose lanterns use skull bones, will-o'-the-wisp blue, hell green, and underworld tones ahh ...

White cloth fluttered in the wind, and customers coming and going wore masks similar to those of ox-head and horse-faced demons, and ran around in white and black cloaks in the market.

Under the blood moon, the entire black market bazaar is even more creepy than the ghost market bazaar.

Zhenqing and the other team members stood at the entrance of the market and fell into silence.

Little Muyao pointed with a wooden face at the lanterns made of various animal skeletons above her head.

"You call this a unique lantern banquet?"

Little Wensheng blinked happily, "Just tell me if it's special or not?"

Xiao Lanyun was choking on the spot, and after a long while she managed to utter one word, "特."

Little Wei Yang's face was filled with black lines. He looked at Gu Yuan and Ling Jie dimly, "Are you two working together to deceive us?"

Xiao Ling tried to shirk responsibility and said aggrievedly, "He covered my mouth with his physical body and prevented me from speaking."

Gu Yuan chuckled, "Idiot."
