My carefree life in space

Chapter 122 Bo Qing 1 laughs

Mo Ze, who had been watching her closely, noticed something was off about her expression. He leaned over to take a look and was slightly surprised.

The two exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.

"Could it have been sold from a pill shop?" This was the only reason Mo Ze could think of.

"We'll find out soon enough." Lin Shushu's expression returned to calm. She could tell the difference between pills that came out of her hand just by looking at them from a distance.

Turning her attention to the lobby on the first floor, she noticed a conversation between two people.

She would have ignored other topics, but since they were talking about pills, Lin Shushu couldn't help but listen carefully.

"I heard that there are elixirs among the items being auctioned this time."

"You mean the pills from the pill shop?"

"They only say it's a pill, but whether it's actually from a pill shop is still hard to say."

"It should be true, right? Besides the pills from the pill shop, who else has them?"

"Nothing is absolute. Perhaps someone has cracked the code and created it themselves?"

"I think it's unlikely. Before the existence of pill shops, who knew about pills? If it were that easy to crack, it wouldn't be so hard to find even now."

"That makes sense. Could it really be from a pill shop? Or is it something the shop owner is consigning?"

"No wonder the shops have been listing them much less often. This makes it even more difficult for us to buy the pills."

Hearing this, Lin Shushu began to reflect on whether she and Mo Ze had been too lazy. They had indeed rarely managed the shop recently, no wonder some people thought they were consigning their pills to an auction house!

At this moment, the lights around the lobby on the first floor went out, leaving only the central area, and all the light sources focused on one person—the auctioneer.

He placed his hand in front of him and gently pressed it down, and the scene immediately fell silent.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to today's auction. I am your old friend Jerry."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene became noisy again. Someone rushed to the front of the crowd and asked loudly, "Jerry, I heard there's an auction of pills today, is that true?"

Jerry wasn't annoyed by being interrupted. He readily admitted, "This gentleman is right. Our final item for today's auction is indeed a pill."

A buzz of discussion immediately broke out below, and Jerry regained control of the situation.

"Everyone, don't get excited. The pills are right there and won't disappear. The auction is now officially starting."

After speaking, he gestured to the ushers next to him to present the first item for auction.

"This is a defensive battle suit that can withstand attacks from level six alien beasts. The starting bid is 5 star coins, and each bid must be at least 1000 star coins."

Without waiting, people started bidding one after another.

"I'll offer 6 Star Coins."

"I'll offer 65,000 Star Coins."

"I'll offer 7 Star Coins."

"I'll offer 10 Star Coins."

Space Marines rarely reach Level 6, so possessing this suit is like having an extra life when facing alien beasts, which is why everyone values ​​it highly.

"I'll offer 15 Star Coins."

After the bid was made, the room fell silent.

"Is there anyone offering a higher bid?" Jerry looked around the room. "15 Star Coins, first time."

No one spoke up again, so Jerry had to speak again, "15 Star Coins for the second time... 15 Star Coins for the third time... Sold! Congratulations to customer number 6 for winning the first item of the day."

Jerry glanced at the somewhat subdued atmosphere and brought out the second item for the day's auction.

"Many distinguished ladies are here today. The next item is perfect for ladies to wear, so don't miss it if you like it."

At the opportune moment, a staff member opened the exquisite gift box containing the auction item, and the lights instantly focused on it.

"This is a brooch carved from crystal and gemstones. It's very exquisite and beautiful. Look at the butterfly's antennae; they seem to move. Anyone interested? The starting bid is still 5 Star Coins."

The desire for beauty is universal, and this item certainly attracted the attention of many women at the auction, with those around them starting to bid.

"I'll offer 8 Star Coins."

"I'll offer 10 Star Coins."

"I'll offer 12 Star Coins."

"I'll offer 15 Star Coins."

In just a few seconds, the price had increased several times. Jerry's eyes crinkled with laughter. "Anyone else bidding? Gentlemen, don't you want to give this to your wives or girlfriends? Crystal symbolizes purity and romance. It's a wonderful gift that represents your feelings."

Immediately after these words, someone else made another bid.

"I'll offer 20 Star Coins."

"I'll offer 25 Star Coins."

"I'll offer 30 Star Coins."

At this point, no one offered a higher price. Although the host made it sound nice, the current price was already inflated, and no one wanted to be taken advantage of.

Jerry knew the price had reached its limit, so he followed the leaked offers: "30 Star Coins for the first time... 30 Star Coins for the second time..."

Before he could call out the third time, the bidding signal in front of him went off, indicating it was from the VIP room upstairs.

"My goodness, the guest in room 201 on the second floor has bid 50. Is there anyone bidding higher? If not, the item will go to this distinguished guest."

Upstairs, Lin Shushu watched Mo Ze press the bidding button speechlessly. Although she was somewhat interested in the brooch, the price was too high, especially since Mo Ze had added a full 20 yuan at the end.

Jerry's voice came from downstairs, "Congratulations to the guest in room 201 for winning the brooch. Our staff will bring it up to you in a bit."

Soon, the staff delivered the brooch. After inspecting it, Mo Ze took out his personal computer, swiped it on the machine provided by the staff, and completed the payment.

Mo Ze put the brooch on Lin Shushu's finger, saying, "Shushu, this brooch suits you very well."

Lin Shushu wore a light blue dress today, and the crystal gemstone brooch complemented it perfectly, which she liked very much.

"It's beautiful, but it's too expensive. You're such a sucker." Lin Shushu glared at Mo Ze, complaining, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

Mo Ze took her hand and kissed it, saying, "What does it matter if I give away all my wealth just to make you smile?"

Lin Shushu smiled and nudged him, "I never thought you had the potential to be a tyrant."

"It's not impossible to do it for the sake of easing things up," Mo Ze shamelessly accepted the offer.

Neither of them were interested in the next items, so they cuddled together until other jewelry that Lin Shushu had been eyeing appeared, at which point Mo Ze finally bid a high price for it.

As a result, everyone guessed that the person in room 201 was a man who doted on his wife; otherwise, who would spend so much money on these flashy but impractical ornaments?

The women present all looked on with envy, wondering what kind of woman could receive such love from her husband.

Lin Shushu had already accepted Mo Ze's subsequent act of being taken advantage of. After all, it was all money spent on her, and besides, they weren't short of money. The fact that both of them were happy was more valuable than anything else.

Finally, the auction came to an end, and the final item was brought out.

Lin Shushu turned her attention to Jerry, to see how he would explain the origin of the elixir.
