Chapter 1 The Wine-Stained Nose Expert

This expert was called Dongshanyang, a burly man with a wine-stained nose and a flushed face. Ironically, he had a goatee and emanated the scent of whiskey. His eyes were usually bleary. When he made an appearance to appraise treasures, he would hold his nose up high. However, he possessed genuine skill and rarely made mistakes.

What was excessive was that if the item he appraised wasn't fake, but simply of lower value, he would act as if he had lost face and prestige. He would often smash it on the spot and stomp on it. Of course, the auction house had to clean up the resulting mess. His arrogance was infuriating.

However, at this moment, the Dongshanyang expert, who loved to put on airs, saw the light and solemnly accepted the stinky sock bag as if receiving a crown. He took out a grain and carefully examined it with a magnifying glass, his expression one of sacred reference and learning.

One minute passed.

Two minutes passed.

Five minutes passed...

The expert remained motionless, maintaining his original posture.

The portly auctioneer's forehead dripped with cold sweat again. What if he had misjudged again? If this thing was fake, the joke would be on him, and his lifelong reputation would be ruined! He quietly leaned closer, hoping to add some certainty to his uneasy heart. Unexpectedly, Dongshanyang said impatiently,

"What's the rush! Let me look at it for a few more minutes. I can't miss this opportunity to broaden my knowledge!"

Hearing this, the portly auctioneer was immediately relieved. He immediately showed no respect to the master and waved for someone to drag the exasperated master away. He was now eager to finalize this deal!

Although half a year ago, after the news that the Epsilon planet was confirmed to contain abundant high-purity pi element ore spread, the stock prices of pi element-related companies on the Galactic Financial Exchange once plummeted.

However, as soon as these companies reduced their shipments, the price of pi element immediately rose sharply. Even the stocks of these companies recovered as before, and even intensified.

Yes, having reserves is one thing, but developing them into one's own resources is another!

It's like everyone knows there's money in the bank, but how many people can turn the banknotes in the bank into their own? Therefore, the auctioneer was very certain how much profit this deal would bring to the boss, and how much benefit he would get. It was a number he couldn't even dream of.

At this time, old Charlie, whom no one dared to underestimate again, took out another stinky sock, oh, no, a bag, and twisted out a small piece of pi element particle the size of a grain of rice from it, and walked towards a one-eyed dragon with a stubble face opposite him.

This guy was the head of a merchant ship alliance, called Zabori, who did transportation in space. However, when encountering merchant fleets that could be defeated, they often turned into pirates. When encountering large fleets and the military, they were loyal taxpayers of the Empire.

He was the guy who had already withdrawn from the competition. However, Zabori had previously taken out a cage. Inside the cage was a selenium-based creature, a selenium snake, that could swim and survive in space!

Selenium-based creatures had always existed only in the theories of biologists and had never appeared alive. There was no doubt that once this thing appeared, the Empire's biologists would go crazy for it.

Unfortunately, the Empire was currently busy dealing with the rebels of the alliance, so investment in biology was very limited. To put it bluntly, those biologists could not come up with any money at all.

Unfortunately, Zabori was only interested in alcohol, women, and weapons. As for things like fame and fortune, he regarded them as foul-smelling dung. So this is the reason why this selenium snake was not sliced and studied, but appeared at the auction.

Old Charlie said coldly to Zabori:

"This grain, exchange for your selenium snake."

Zabori stared at the stinky sock in old Charlie's hand, with a greedy look in his eyes, and said:

"I want everything inside!"

Old Charlie said indifferently:

"No."

Then he turned to another person, who had a large mass of Yellow Nebula Stone matrix in his hand, which had also been put up for auction before. This matrix was a great tonic for G-spot. The person who owned the matrix was not greedy and nodded directly to agree to the exchange.

His Yellow Nebula Stone matrix was also very expensive and rare, but compared to the hard currency of pi element, it was far inferior. It can be said that he made a big profit. Zabori was dumbfounded, and found that old Charlie didn't mean to turn back, and hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Hey, hey, we can talk about it, I only want half! A little less, three, how about three?"

This person was originally an interstellar pirate and was used to robbing. He also knew old Charlie inside and out. When he was anxious, he suddenly reached out and grabbed old Charlie's shoulder. Old Charlie, who seemed to be blown down by the wind, turned his hand and held his big hand. Then, the originally old and thin body shrunk, and he hooked and kicked his feet, and immediately threw Zabori down! Two or three of his front teeth were knocked out!

It turned out that old Charlie had the seed of the demon Freddy parasitizing his brain, so Fang Senyan specially strengthened his physical fitness when he left, which was about twice the basic attributes of a normal person. This avoided the embarrassing scene of old Charlie being weak and falling when touched. And in the Nightmare World, basic attributes that are twice that of a normal person are not considered anything at all, so the cost is the least.

The key is that Fang Senyan's standard of "normal human quality" is based on the ordinary Earthlings of his era. However, because of the need to adapt to the low-gravity life in space, and the full automation of technology, the physical fitness of human beings has declined comprehensively. That Zabori may have been pretty good among ordinary future humans, but when he met the old Charlie who was growing and shrinking, then he was really not enough to watch.

After Old Charlie skillfully knocked down Zabori, he pushed him, causing him to stagger and fall into the crowd. Then he took out half a piece of pi element ore and asked him lightly:

"Sell the selenium snake?"

Zabori's face was really earthy at this time. He didn't expect that the profit would be reduced by half in a blink of an eye. He must have been cursing wildly in his heart, but even half a piece of pi element ore is definitely more expensive than the price offered by those poor zoologists. Ten times higher, oh no, it should be a hundred times!

He could only accept it with a smile. Fang Senyan was also determined to get this selenium snake, because it was also classified as an unknown oddity, worth a full seven merit points.

At this time, Old Charlie looked at the fat man auctioneer and said lightly:

"Have you finished checking? We're in a hurry."

The auctioneer smiled so hard that the fat on his face was shaking desperately, and he nodded quickly and said:

"It'll be ready soon... The inventory is complete. There are five pi element grains in total, weighing a total of 18.9 grams. Here it comes, it's already being prepared in accordance with your instructions, a blue suitcase."

As he was saying with a smile, someone brought the suitcase over, then turned off the energy output system of the single-soldier mecha, and then began to fold it, and it seemed that there was no problem at all in placing it in the suitcase.

At this time, the guy who took the commission, Ge Lang, said in a hoarse voice again, gloomily:

"Very good, I want both of these things, send them to the box for me."

The fat man auctioneer immediately became impatient. It's okay to let you be arrogant at ordinary times, but today I've made such a big deal, and you're still arrogant here, wouldn't that be deliberately messing with me? So he immediately put on a stern face and roared:

"Ge Lang, shut up, otherwise I don't mind having someone shut your mouth for you, the boss has been tolerating you for a long time..."

His words were only halfway through, when a terrifying steel cable suddenly flew out from Ge Lang's box, with dazzling electric lights lingering on it. With a snap, it hit the fat man auctioneer, the electric light gathered, and then exploded.

Like hitting tofu, the fat man, estimated to weigh more than 150 kilograms, was torn apart, and a rain of flesh and blood seemed to fall in the wide space of the entire auction house! !

Then a cube-like monster stepped out of the box. This guy was humanoid, but his two hands were like great apes, almost touching the ground, and his head seemed to be directly attached to his body, so his neck was almost short and thick. His whole body was also wearing a specially made single-soldier combat armor, and you could still feel the bulging muscles inside the armor.

The building materials of the box could not stop this guy from advancing at all, and they were torn apart with a crackling sound. The guy dragged the shiny steel cable with his left hand and strode towards the center of the auction house. Many sharp barbs were deliberately cast on the steel cable, which was already covered with flesh and blood. It looked particularly ferocious, rattling on the ground.

It had been a long time since such a tragedy had happened in the black market, and it was still a black market staff member who was attacked and killed! !

You must know that the most important thing in opening such a black market is stability and order. If you bid for something here and get robbed and killed as soon as you go out!

The people attending the meeting are all local snakes. If you do it a few more times, idiots will know that there is something wrong with you here. If you don't respect and stay away, do you still come here to die?

Therefore, although this place is opened in the most chaotic and dirty civilian area, the order and cleanliness in it far exceeds that of the rich area. The boss behind the scenes also knows why his place is so popular, so he is also careful to maintain order, and does not hesitate to give up some benefits. Welcome you to your support, is my biggest motivation. m
