Chapter 308 Why Spend Money to Buy Something You Can Steal?

The auction was still going on, and a lot of things were auctioned during the period. However, perhaps because it had just started, most of the items in front were insignificant things in Leni's opinion.

For example, the personal belongings of a certain female star, the historical relics unearthed from a certain country, although Leni didn't understand them very well, she could tell at a glance that those things were basically bluffs, and there were not many really good things.

During this period, there was a ladies' watch from a well-known brand that appealed to Leni's taste. Unfortunately, the price was really inflated by the guys below with their wives and mistresses, so Leni finally gave up on quoting.

"What? This is different from the auction house I imagined?"

Skye was bored as she ate the cake that the waiter had just brought over. After looking at it for a long time, she didn't like one thing.

When Leni participated in the bidding, she took two pictures for Leni, but there was almost no sense of participation other than pressing the button, so in the end Skye returned to the sofa and continued to eat the cake.

"What you imagine is a real bidding auction similar to that on a warehouse auction show, right?"

Meister was also tasting the desserts on the plate. Some of them were beyond her expectation. The pastry chef here was very good at it, and it was particularly suitable for her appetite.

"Yes! That's it. I thought there would be a scene of competing with each other and raising prices like in the show, but I didn't expect that it would be so boring here. All you have to do is hold up the sign and press the button. Not passionate at all.”

Leni glanced at her, her eyes lingering for a moment on the other person's beautiful white legs resting on the coffee table.

"Can you let it go? Put your legs down and eat less. If you really do something later, be careful to vomit it out if you are too full."

Skye curled her lips and agreed angrily, but she showed no intention of putting down the dessert in her hand.

Leni shook her head, said nothing more, turned her head and focused her gaze back on the center of the venue.

"The appetizers are almost finished. I believe you are all eager to see today's main course. So without further ado, let's bring out today's heavyweight collection!"

On the stage, accompanied by the exciting and magnetic voice of the handsome auctioneer, a gorgeously dressed etiquette lady appeared in the audience's field of vision holding a mysterious box covered by red silk.

"Coming!"

Through the perception of the radar system, Leni clearly perceived what the hostess was holding in her hands.

Upon hearing this, Skye, who was lazily leaning on the sofa just now, couldn't help but sit up straight again. Mester, who was also beside him, silently put down the fork in his hand and looked at the stage.

Di Ling Ling~

The communicator in the box rang. Before Wesley left, he had said that this was the communicator provided by the organizer to the box guests so that they could communicate with each other between the boxes.

Leni glanced in the direction of the box next door, then pressed the button and chose to answer.

"Mr. Fisk."

"Miss Stark, this should be the obelisk you are looking for."

There were no unnecessary pleasantries, and Jin Bin's calm voice reached the ears of the girls.

Just as Leni guessed, the auction item below is exactly the goal of their trip, item 084-the obelisk!

"Miss Stark, do you need my help to take a picture of it later?"

"No need, I won't bother Mr. Fisk with this little money. I still have some savings."

Leni declined Kingpin's kindness. It didn't matter if the bidding price for this thing was relatively low, but if the price was too high, she would not spend money to get the obelisk.

In fact, she had no intention of actually spending money to take pictures of this thing. They were S.H.I.E.L.D., so they could rob it... and confiscate it, of course, they had to come directly to the door to confiscate it.

"The next piece of the collection does not have an accurate name at the moment, but its magical abilities have made many people flock to it."

The auctioneer was still trying to show off. I don't know if it was intentional or not. When introducing this collection, the guy intentionally or unintentionally kept some distance from the hostess next to him.

"So how magical is it? According to the seller who provided this collection, this is a miraculous product that can change mankind. Anyone who touches it may gain extraordinary abilities! Whether it is fire control, Controlling water, becoming invisible, flying, any super power you can imagine is possible by touching it!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the venue couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and the sound of various discussions instantly filled the entire venue.

"Are you kidding! How is this possible! This is not a movie!"

There was a young man who was the first to take the initiative to ask loudly. Obviously, like everyone else in the venue, he did not believe what the auctioneer said.

If it weren't for the fact that the organizer of this auction was relatively reliable, some people would have simply gotten up and left by now.

"This is a good question. To be honest, we didn't believe it at first, but after seeing the seller's extraordinary ability, we had to believe his words."

The auctioneer smiled and became offended by the young man's rude questioning.

"In the seller's original words, there are certain limitations in human genes, and this treasure is the key to unlocking the limitations. When someone comes into contact with this treasure, the magical substances it contains will enter the person's body. Body.

Then that person will turn into a stone statue as if he has been cursed by Medusa. During this period, the magical substance will stimulate the evolution of human genes, and then he will break out of his cocoon and be reborn as a butterfly! "

In order to sell this treasure at a higher price, the auctioneer used a little trick in language, which was insignificant, but he deliberately omitted the side effects of the obelisk.

Then the big screen behind the auctioneer began to play a series of movies about various superpowers, such as invisibility, flight, teleportation, invulnerability, indestructibility, golden gun... indestructible. In short, he wanted to use this intuitive form to attract everyone's attention to this collection.

For a moment, the people in the audience were silent for a moment, and then bursts of discussion broke out again. No one was not interested in supernatural powers, and many of them even thought of the magical power of immortality.

The auctioneer on the stage was relieved when he saw this. As long as this thing attracted attention, it would not be difficult to get a good price.

The auctioneer simply stopped keeping the secret and simply abandoned all the prepared procedures and got straight to the point.

"So, this magical treasure called 'Mysterious Obelisk' by the seller will be auctioned now! The starting price is 10 million US dollars! Each bid must not be less than 100,000 US dollars. Start bidding now! "

Accompanied by the auctioneer's order, the etiquette lady carefully removed the red silk cloth covering the treasure and showed its true appearance to everyone.

After hearing the price and looking at the things in the etiquette lady's hand, many people who were originally eager to try suddenly felt disappointed.

The so-called treasure is a peculiarly shaped metal object. It looks like an upright obelisk. From the appearance, it seems to be no different from ordinary metal ornaments.

In addition, the organizer also put a glass cover on the metal obelisk, which seems to be put up to prevent someone from accidentally touching the thing.

"10 million? Is the so-called seller crazy? Only a fool would spend money to buy such a dangerous thing, right? "

Like everyone else in the meeting, Skye was also surprised by the starting price and couldn't help but exclaimed, and the voice was also transmitted to the next room through the communicator on the coffee table.

Sure enough, before Lainie could speak, Fisk's slightly embarrassed dry cough came from the other end of the communicator.

"Ahem~ Miss Skye is right, 10 million is indeed too expensive..."
