My carefree life in space

Chapter 121 Auction

The middle-aged man lowered his eyes, trying hard to avoid looking into Mo Ze's eyes, lest he succumb to the pressure and say something he shouldn't.

Mo Ze's patience had clearly run out. He looked at the girl beside him, and Lin Shushu gave him an affirming look. Perfect, she didn't want to dawdle any longer either.

Mo Ze waved his hand, without making any other movements, and the middle-aged man opposite him already had a vacant look in his eyes, as if he had been hypnotized.

What's your name? What do you mainly do?

"My name is Wang Hai. I deal in arms."

"What organization do you belong to, and how many people are in it?"

"The organization I belong to is called Blazing Flame. I don't know how many people there are. I'm just a small fry."

Who is Brother Tiger?

"Tiger is my superior, and I obtained the weapon through him."

"Where did Tiger get those weapons from?"

"I don't know about that. He just handed the weapons to me and I was the one who found the buyers."

Where is Brother Tiger?

The middle-aged man, Wang Hai, did not answer the question as readily as before. He remained silent for a long time, seemingly deep in thought.

Gradually, sweat began to bead on his forehead, and his face began to tremble, as if he was about to regain consciousness.

Mo Ze quickly channeled a surge of spiritual energy into his body to temporarily calm him down, and then asked the same question again.

"At...at...auction..." Wang Hai couldn't finish his sentence before he fainted.

Looking at the unconscious Wang Hai, Mo Ze knew that even if he woke him up, the result would be the same.

He had clearly fought his will to the utmost, and without the soothing power of the spirit, he wouldn't have been able to utter the next few words.

However, it wasn't entirely without reward; at least the word "auction" at the end is worth pondering.

"Auction," Lin Shushu pondered the word. "There's an auction house here?" After saying that, she laughed sheepishly. This was Tianxuan Star, so having an auction house was perfectly normal.

Mo Ze took her hand and walked outside together, introducing her as he did so, "The most famous auction house in the empire is Jiaxing Auction House, and its headquarters are on Tianxuan Star."

As for the "auction" Wang Hai mentioned, whether it refers to the Jiaxing Auction House, they'll know once they go and see for themselves.

Coincidentally, the Jiaxing Auction House's next auction is just two days away.

The two men strolled out of Wang Hai's house and disappeared instantly at the end of the street, leaving behind the lonely house in the darkness and the unconscious person inside.

Once Wang Hai regains consciousness, he will forget that he has ever seen them, and he will not remember what he said.

The house returned to normal when they left, and no one would know what had happened there.

The reason for not taking any action against Wang Hai was to avoid alerting him. From today onward, every move Wang Hai makes will be under the watchful eye of the Fifth Legion, and they will handle the rest.

Having put the matter aside, the two returned to the hotel without any psychological pressure and had a good night's sleep.

Lin Shushu didn't enter the space this time because she felt that although it wasn't the best room in the hotel, it still cost a lot of money. If it was still untouched when she checked out, then the money would be wasted.

She's just that petty; what can she do when she's not one to suffer a loss?

When Mo Ze learned of her thoughts, he found it somewhat amusing. He didn't think Lin Shushu was petty, but rather he hadn't expected her to have such an adorable side.

It's fine if he doesn't go into the space; he'd love for others to know how good their relationship is.

Over the next two days, the couple visited many places, truly embarking on a pre-wedding trip. They made no attempt to conceal their relationship, traveling entirely by public transport.

As a prosperous planet, Tianxuan Star boasts a highly developed transportation system. Traveling between neighboring cities takes only the time it takes to eat a meal. Even if they visit several cities in a day, it doesn't prevent them from returning to the main city for the night.

After having a good two days of fun, the auction at Jiaxing Auction House was about to begin.

Mo Ze somehow obtained a VIP invitation, and they were currently sitting in a private room on the second floor.

As expected of the most famous auction house in the empire, Jiaxing Auction House has a very luxurious and grand headquarters. The place they are currently in is a place specifically used to hold auctions.

The building has five floors. The first floor is the auction venue, and it also has 1000 seats for invited guests.

The second to fourth floors are VIP rooms. The higher you go, the more distinguished the guests are. They don't need to show their faces in public. The auction will be broadcast live in their rooms. If they see something they like, they can simply move their fingers and the auctioneer on the first floor will receive the message.

The fifth floor is the auction house's own office space, where the auction items are also stored.

After entering the private room, Lin Shushu spread her divine sense outwards. Don't misunderstand, she didn't have any perverse interest in prying into other people's privacy; it was simply that she was in a new place and subconsciously wanted to explore her surroundings.

Of course, more importantly, they were looking for the man Wang Hai called "Tiger Brother." Although they didn't yet know if he would even be here.

Perhaps because the auction hasn't officially started yet, the VIP rooms on the second floor and above aren't full. After all, many people of status and position don't like to wait.

But the lobby on the first floor was already packed. Even if you could only sit in the lobby, being able to attend the auction was a symbol of status. These people were generally people of some standing, and they didn't feel that arriving early meant losing their status.

Therefore, although the auction had not yet started, the scene was already bustling with noise. People sitting next to each other or acquaintances were discussing the auction items and even betting on which guest in the upstairs private room would win the final item.

After looking around and not finding anyone suspicious, Lin Shushu temporarily focused her attention on the auction catalog on the table.

She picked it up curiously and started looking through it from beginning to end.

"Shushu, take a look and see if there's anything you like, we'll buy it."

Seeing Lin Shushu pick up the auction catalog, Mo Ze quickly tried to curry favor. He had wanted to give Shushu a gift for a long time, but everything in Shushu's space was priceless. All his possessions combined couldn't compare to even one of them.

Lin Shushu understood the expectation in Mo Ze's eyes. She smiled slightly at him, neither refusing nor rejecting him, and looked at him carefully.

To be honest, there were a few pieces of jewelry that Lin Shushu found interesting. For example, the butterfly brooch made of crystal and gemstones; the materials themselves weren't particularly valuable, but the carving was superb, making the butterfly look incredibly lifelike.

In addition, there are bracelets and earrings, which Lin Shushu doesn't usually wear, but she still really likes beautiful jewelry.

Her gaze lingered on them for a few more seconds. Mo Ze didn't miss this subtle movement. He secretly memorized those ornaments, waiting for the auction to begin so that he could buy them for Shu Shu no matter the cost.

Lin Shushu paused when she flipped to the last page. How come there were still pills here?
