Chapter 366
There was a powerful organization from Division2 that was there to back the Mystery Auction up . After all, it was attended by all the royal members as well as the high-class royal families, so basically, nobody would dare to create trouble at the auction .
Everyone knew very well that creating trouble at such an auction would be pitting oneself against the royal members . It would even offend one of the powerful organizations in Division2 . Even the underworld organizations that were normally the enemies of the royal family dared not do such a thing at the auction .
Also, the Mystery Auction was heavily guarded every year . There would be two guards on immortal-level . One of them would be stationed on-site while another would guard the warehouse where the items were kept .
The auctioneer, the guards, and even the ceremony presenter girls were on holy fire-level . There were about 30 of them . The rest of the staff assistants were on complete gold-level .
Aside from that, half of the royal members who participated in the auction were on holy fire-level . They brought along their bodyguards, so the number of people on holy fire-level was definitely in the hundreds .
This was also the reason why the difficulty level of attacking such an auction would be comparable to that of infiltrating an A-grade foothold . They had no idea why Purple Crow had chosen to accept such a difficult task . Nevertheless, nobody knew about the Purple Crow's plan .
After leaving the ruins, Lin Huang had finally learned all the remaining mid-level gunfighting techniques from Lin Xuan over the past 40 days . He began learning gunfighting techniques of higher level since the last two days .
In the Gun Master game, the consumption of Life Power was real since it was one of the high-grade VR games . This was unlike the Hunter arena where it required only the insertion of will for a virtual character to then be created .
These days, the practicing of Lin Huang's gunfighting techniques had drained a large amount of his Life Power . The number of times when the Army Attack Tactics was activated was almost the same as when he had practiced it alone previously . His Life Power had been subconsciously compressed during the practice .
Despite one and a half month not being sufficient enough for Lin Huang to level up to complete gold-level, the concentration of his Life Power was, nevertheless, twice as higher as before . He noticed that as well .
These days, the consumption of Life Power for the learning of high-level gunfighting techniques got more intense for him . He was confident that he could achieve complete gold-level within two months .
A few days before the auction began, it was very crowded at the stalls around the exhibition hall . Many of the traders took the opportunity to earn a living as they knew that those who attended the auction would be the rich from the royal families . Regardless of its worthiness, as long as they displayed newfangled gadgets, they could still sell it at a good price . A minority of them had the courage to sell counterfeit products too . They immediately ran away after they had earned enough credit points .
Lin Huang and Leng Yuexin walked around those stalls on the first day . They bought nothing and were not interested in the stalls after checking them out .
Two days later, Leng Yuexin knocked on Lin Huang's door during lunch hour . She asked him to look for a restaurant for her . The rest of the time would be their free time during which Lin Huang had been practicing high-level gunfighting techniques in the hotel room while Leng Yuexin attended two social events .
Nobody actually knew that she was going to the auction . However, when she walked around with Lin Huang on the first day, she bumped into her friends . All the royal families then knew that she was going to attend the auction . Over hundreds of people had invited her . She felt that it was rude to reject them and managed to accept only two of her close friends’ invitations .
Three days had passed and soon, it was the day for the auction to officially begin .
Lin Huang and Leng Yuexin had their breakfast early in the morning . They then left the hotel, heading towards the auction house . The distance from the hotel to the auction house was less than 300 meters, so the both of them as well as Tyrant arrived in a few minutes on foot .
The auction began at 9 a . m . sharp and the auction house would be opened at 8 . 30 a . m . When the three of them arrived, it was not even 8 a . m yet .
Outside the hall, there were thousands of people waiting . Of course, not all of them were royalty . Aside from the royal members and guards, there were many reporters .
As soon as Leng Yuexin appeared, an uproar broke among the crowd .
The members of six of the royal families were unapproachable to many of the people who came from smaller royal families .
The reporters were familiar with Leng Yuexin as she was one of the best hunters among the young generation in Division7 . She was only 19 years old and had already achieved crimson flame-level . Also, she was the idol of many teenage girls . Not only that, many of the young men from the royal families in Division7 admired her .
Many of them noticed that Lin Huang walking with her . As for Tyrant, the people ignored him despite the fact that he was a hulking, muscular guy . Be it his appearance or attire, he somehow looked like a bodyguard .
Some of the reporters immediately came up to interview her .
"Miss Leng, who's the young man standing next to you?"
Lin Huang originally thought that Leng Yuexin would answer, "He’s just a follower . " Unexpectedly, she said, "He is my friend . "
The reporters then continued asking, "Is he your boyfriend?"
Right at the moment when the reporters asked that question, many of the royal members shifted their gaze towards Lin Huang .
"I'm just a follower," Seeing that Leng Yuexin had become the reporters’ focus, Lin Huang then explained and took a glance a Tyrant . Tyrant immediately made his way through the crowd, leading the both of them and they ditched the reporters .
Arriving at the entrance of the auction house, the security guard scanned Leng Yuexin's Emperor's Heart Ring . The small door then opened and she was allowed to enter .
It was a privilege granted to the six royal families . Even all other high-class royal members that were invited had to wait until 8 . 30 a . m sharp before they could enter .
The people felt envious, seeing that Leng Yuexin had brought along the two of them into the auction house . Some started checking Lin Huang's background . They were astonished . "He's definitely Mr . Fu’s disciple . He managed to hook up with Miss Leng!"
Lin Huang and Leng Yuexin did not care about their chatter . They were guided by one of the staffs and entered VIP room 3 .
"Miss Leng, let me know if you need anything else . " The holy fire-level staff bowed respectfully and left .
The VIP room was not big as it only spanned 100 square meters . There was a layer of specially-built bioglass between them and the auction room . Looking outside from the room, it was transparent, but if one was to look in from the outside, only a layer of a silver mirror surface could be seen . It stopped anyone from spying on them .
The decoration in the room was fairly simple . In front of the glass window, there was a luxury sofa and a small tea table in front of it . There were some fresh fruits being served as well . In addition to that, there was a refrigerator with a variety of drinks and desserts like ice cream in it .
"The auction will begin at 9 a . m . It's still early . Tyrant, do you want to eat anything? It seems like he wasn’t full during breakfast . We can order food here," Leng Yuxin told Lin Huang .
"He likes dessert . I’ll just get him an ice cream . " As soon as Lin Huang finished his sentence, he took out a large ice cream from the refrigerator and gave it to Tyrant who accepted it happily . Other than meat, dessert was his favorite, especially ice cream .
"I've almost forgotten that most monsters like dessert . " Leng Yuexin glanced at Tyrant who was carefully eating his ice cream, feeling amused . "Please get me an ice cream too . "
Lin Huang passed her an ice cream . He thought for a while and decided to get one for himself as well . "It has been almost a year since I last ate an ice cream…"
Three of them then waited for the auction to begin while eating their ice cream…
