parasitic son

"Holy Grail War?" Lailo said doubts in his tone.

"It's the battle for this universal wishing machine." Yan An explained, "There are literary works on this topic on our planet, and some Homo sapiens teenagers are the audience for this kind of story."

"Indeed, whether it's a literary work or a reality, once such an unimaginable omnipotent thing appears, it will become the target of competition for all parties." Lailo said with a tolerant expression.

"Two sets! The current asking price for this "Song of Wangyou" is two sets!" The auctioneer shouted loudly on the stage.

The number of bidders for "Song of Forgetfulness" is even less than that of the previous "Lothar's Chronicles". So far, only two copies have been auctioned. Just when Yan An and President Wu thought that this ancient book would also be available, Suddenly a voice echoed in the venue.

"Six plates!"

His voice was quite loud and attracted the attention of many guests.This price far surpassed Principal Wu's latest bid, and it soared three times.Principal Wu and Yan An turned their heads and looked in the direction of the voice. It was a Gao Boshi who was calling for the price.

The bidder had an indigo complexion, and although he looked similar to Homo sapiens, he had four arms.Yan An recognized him at a glance. His name is Hornby, he is the boss of the import trading company in this galaxy, and he is currently Yan An's biggest business competitor.One of his latest projects has just been taken away by Yan An, and Yan An knows that he has long harbored resentment.The outcry was obviously choking him on purpose.

Whether it's earthlings or aliens, this kind of negative emotion for fighting for breath is really similar.

The price increase tripled at once, which aroused low-pitched discussions among the guests.Principal Wu frowned, Yan An knew how his friend was feeling.

When the auctioneer asked again, Yan An called out his price, "Seven."

"Twelve." Hornby's price added.

"Thirteen discs."

"Fourteen discs."

At this moment, the bored guests watched Yan An and Hornby bargaining with each other curiously. Most of the guests came for Barrett's secret collection and were not interested in these old ancient books at all.Now when they saw Yan An and Hornby competing with each other for this obviously not very precious lot, their faces showed a look of relish watching the show.

"Twenty sets!" cried Hornby.

The hum of the scene grew louder.This price has greatly exceeded the value of this ancient book itself.Obviously, Hornby is raising the price out of pure malice.Many guests looked at Yan An, waiting for his response.

Yan An fell into silence.Principal Wu beside him looked depressed.In any case, the price is a bit outrageous.But just as the timer was about to end, Yan An spoke.His voice was firm and clear.

"Thirty dishes."

Hornby said nothing more.

Yan An became the winner of the final bidding.Under the operation of mechanical gears, the new owner of this Weizla old poet's work has been settled.

There was a buzzing sound in the hall.In the eyes of most guests, this was just a good show before the competition for Barrett's secret collection.Yan An spent ten times more money to buy the lot, and Hornby's face was obviously happy with the success of the conspiracy.And some guests were laughing at Yan An's absurd behavior of throwing money in a low voice.

Yan An and Principal Wu talked in low voices, their faces were calm, and they didn't care about the voices of the guests around them.Afterwards, the staff asked Yan An how to pack and ship the ancient books and cultural relics they photographed.Yan An asked them to donate all the photographed results to Teng Xi's institution of higher learning.

This kind of behavior has attracted discussions among the guests in the auction venue.Although the alien guests dismissed this behavior, the Weizla people present looked at Yan An and Principal Wu with a little more respect.

Lai Luo beside Yan An said, "To be honest, I'm very curious."

"What are you curious about?"

"Why do you do this? Spend so much money photographing antiques and then donate them," Lello asked. "Is it to gain a good name?"

"These ancient books are the records of the Tengxi civilization and the historical relics of the Weizla people. If they are taken away by other people, they may end up on other planets." Yan An said, "Our current property comes from the Tengxi people. Xi. My friend used to be a practitioner in the education industry. He thinks that the money should be used to do something to give back to Teng Xi. I agree with him that these books should stay in Teng Xi’s higher education institutions, not some On the bookshelf of the alien rich man."

Lailo waved to the waiter, and a gear-man waiter quickly brought a tray with several small glass bottles of different colors, which contained sweet drinks of different flavors.The guests will not know the type of drink in the glass bottle, and tasting different drinks at random is a Weizla tradition for this occasion.Lai Luo picked up one of the glass bottles and gestured to Yan An, who shook his head.

"I've already told you what the most precious item in this auction is."

"Yes, I have also understood clearly."

Lai Luo drank the wine in the small glass bottle, and he smiled at Yan An: "I'm curious. Don't you want to save some money and wait to bid for the legendary treasure in Barrett?"

"Because I'm not crazy." Yan An replied calmly, "I don't think that with my financial resources, I can take pictures of that secret collection in the competition of these distinguished guests."

"You are very clear-headed." Lailo's amber eyes narrowed slightly, but his gaze was still as sharp as a blade, "But you know what? Many people sitting here think that they might own that piece Priceless."

"This is normal."

"The one six places away from us." Lailo glanced slightly to the left, "He is Kadolo, the golden finger, or a copy of Kadolo."

"Replica?"

"Kadoro is a very famous thief in the galaxy. His nickname is Goldfinger. The only thief who can be as famous as him is the 'octopus spider' Yin Ran. He used illegal means to copy multiple himself to carry out what he called Theft for art."

"You mean, he copied himself to steal?"

"Yes. There was a time when the security committee was unable to arrest Kaduoluo because of his alibi, but later the supervisory eye found out that the thief was constantly using 'himself' to create false appearances in order to achieve his goal of stealing. Purpose. No one knows whether the current Goldfinger is himself or a copy of him."

"Then his goal today is..."

"Of course." Lailo looked away. "By the way, Kadolo has never missed anything he wanted to steal."

"I think that treasure is a little dangerous now."

"Did you see that lady in the second row?"

"May I ask who she is?"

"Commander Lanxin of the Galaxy Fleet." Lailo added, looking at the confused expression on Yan An's face, "She is also known as Lanxin the Predator. The pirates who died under her hands can circle this planet for about three times. Whether it is What a daring heretic and traitor, I can't help but tremble when I hear her name."

"Her target is also that collection?"

"What do you say?"

"Then how many industry experts like these two are sitting in this auction house?"

Lailo showed a meaningful smile, "What do you think?"

"..." Yan An scratched his head and replied, "Look, this is why I don't want to participate in the auction for that collection."

"What if you say you have a chance?"

"what?"

"What if you have a chance to get this secret collection?"

"It's impossible."

"Think about it. If you have a chance to get it." Lai Luo stared at Yan An with interest, "Don't you desire a treasure that can fulfill any of your wishes?"

Yan An raised his head.The deputy captain of the Son of the Storm, a strange alien whom he had just met not long ago was watching him.At this moment, Lai Luo's amber eyes are like stars twinkling in the night, extremely bright but also extremely dazzling.His sharp eyes seemed to have pierced directly into Yan An's soul, examining him and weighing everything about him.The overwhelming oppressive force made him feel psychedelic at that moment.

A treasure that can fulfill any of your wishes, don't you desire?His voice lingered in his ears, gentle and alluring.

my wish.

The wish I most want to achieve at this moment.

I want to go back to her, I want to go back to the children.

and my parents...

I want to go home, back to Earth.

If I can get that treasure...

……

……

After a moment of trance, he heard the auctioneer announcing the next lot, and the timer clicked again.He is still on an alien planet that is not far away from the earth.Lylo was at his side, and he saw something cruel in those piercing amber eyes.

He said, "No, I don't want to."

Lailo's pupils shrank at that moment, and then a smile formed on his lips, "That is a treasure that can fulfill any of your wishes, why don't you want it?"

"If the unfulfilled cup you mentioned can really fulfill any wish, then why did that ancient civilization suddenly disappear?" Yan An replied, "This is obviously not a perfect omnipotent thing."

Lairo let out a low laugh: "Maybe the destruction is based on a certain wish of that civilization."

"Then this unfulfilled cup is even more untouchable. The result of being able to fulfill any wish is itself a very terrifying thing." Yan An returned his gaze to the auction stage again, "If you want to achieve a goal, you still have to keep your feet on the ground. It’s more reliable to do it yourself.”

"Are you afraid of this power?"

"We have a saying there, there is no free lunch in the world."

"Don't you want to make this exception?"

"I don't believe in the good thing that there are exceptions."

Lai Luo stared at Yan An, and said slowly: "I think I'm starting to like you."

"what?"

"I can probably understand that guy now."

Principal Wu patted Yan An lightly, signaling to him that a Weizla suddenly appeared in front of the auction stage, as if he was about to announce something.

A Weizla man in a gray robe, Ballitt's personal lawyer, announced the temporary suspension of the auction to read Ballitt-Driven's will.

There was a murmur of murmurs among the guests.

"Hasn't Barrett's will already been made public?"

"This is an additional secret will."

The Weizla lawyer read: "...if someone donated all the ancient books he bought with a lot of money to Tengxi's higher education institution on the spot during the auction, I don't know if such a person will appear, but if he does , then this person may have the kind of character I am expecting, this person will receive a gift I respect, and he will be the only heir to the secret collection passed down from generation to generation by the Drive family. ———Barrett Drive"

The auction venue fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone's eyes focused on Yan An like a knife.

Leno laughed wantonly.

At this moment, Yan An only felt numbness in the top of his head.
