Chapter 839: Chapter 612: Two Quiet Buyers
As they got closer and closer to the entrance, Nuonuo’s heart was in her throat.
She didn’t actually have an invitation to the West Cold Auction House, and those “Star Capital Guards” with guns in hand were sweeping the area with eagle-like eyes.
All the girl could do now was trust the adult and follow in his footsteps.
Today, Mu Fan casually bought a suit.
With the bounty obtained from eliminating the Night Teeth Team, he wasn’t strapped for cash.
Nuonuo, on the other hand, changed into a blue ocean series dress that made her look elegant and tall.
When Mu Fan looked at her gently and said, “I’ll buy you this today,” Nuonuo felt a sweet shyness spark in her heart.
It was the first time the adult had bought her clothes.
Now the person she had been thinking of day and night stood by her side, what more could she want?
Thinking of this, the girl’s big eyes curved like crescent moons, naturally exuding the magnanimous style of the little princess from Loki Heavy Industry.
As this perfect pair appeared at the entrance of the West Cold Auction House, attendees couldn’t help but glance over and then feel admiration.
“What a match they are, I wonder which great family they’re from?”
“Such a rare aura, yet a bit unfamiliar.”
“Look at their eyes, the young man indulgent, the girl sweet, it’s truly enviable.”
Hearing the murmurs around her, Nuonuo’s bright little face was filled with smiles, marking her happiest time since arriving in the Barnard Star System.
She sneaked a glance at the side profile of Mu Fan, a sweetness was about to melt her crystalline heart.
“Hello, sir, please verify your identity first.”
A bow-tied attendant approached respectfully, then stopped the two.
Only then did Nuonuo’s gaze drift back; she couldn’t help feeling nervous.
Because at the identity verification entrance, four mechas were watching intently.
She didn’t believe that Nigel Gale would do nothing upon learning of her departure.
And now they were stopped at the entrance of the West Cold Auction House…
Perhaps sensing the girl’s slight tension, Mu Fan turned to look at Nuonuo warmly, then pulled two brown cards from his pocket and handed them over casually.
“Beep, Buyer No. 335, Mr. Hei Fan.”
“Beep, Buyer No. 336, Miss Luo.”
The recognition device simultaneously displayed the results for the card and iris recognition.
Matched!
“Please, esteemed guests, enter the West Cold Auction House. May you have a pleasant time here,” the young attendant bowed and said.
After hearing the respectful voice, Nuonuo behind Mu Fan was stunned.
When did he get the invitation?
“Adult, we…”
“We’re going in.”
Mu Fan interrupted her, winking slowly.
Nuonuo nodded and obediently followed behind Mu Fan.
Since meeting him, the haze around Mu Fan had grown denser.
But what did that matter?
The adult was her strongest support, and that was enough.
Their figures finally disappeared through the entrance of the auction house.
In the virtual cyber space, the electronic eye on a metal sphere swept back and forth over countless light screens, and the surveillance images of Mu Fan and Nuonuo had already been replaced with completely unfamiliar faces.
It muttered to itself, “Technological advancement to a certain extent only causes human regression; this kind of low-level network intrusion is simpler than conversation.”
“Besides, whether this lousy place still stands in a while is uncertain; what you should be praying for is… that the totally illogical terror of Shura doesn’t show up…”
With Black’s voice trailing off, a complete 3D electronic parameter calibration diagram of the castle was displayed.
In the underground warehouse below the rotating platform, the 3D outline of a mecha was marked in red.
“Feels like there’ll be a great show. Should I consider streaming it live?”
Black muttered to itself.
Who knows what it would be like here in an hour.
…
Nigel Gale, with his charming blue eyes, was currently seated leisurely on a sofa in a simple luxury room, sipping red wine.
Nigel, a noble by birth, had an extraordinary love for red wine.
Across from him sat Sun Ruo, Young Master Sun, the high authority at West Cold Auction House.
At this moment, Young Master Sun looked at this tall, handsome man with a smile: “Nigel, I think you’ve been overly cautious. I was wondering who it might be~”
“Not to mention a small captain, even a colonel wouldn’t dare cause trouble here. You’ve seen, all the entrance surveillance indicates that there’s nothing unusual.”
“This auction is invitation-only; those without an invitation can’t get in at all.”
Hearing the other’s words, Nigel also smiled and said, “I’ll remember this favor. Twenty mechas compose the Star Capital Guard, and it’s our Young Master Sun’s boldness.”
Sun Ruo chuckled at the words, waving his hand, “Can’t compare to Lord Nigel’s guts. The auction starts in just five minutes.”
“Let’s go, take a look at your new toys.”
Supporting himself with both hands, Young Master Sun smiled at Nigel.
“I like that phrase.”
“Haha!”
In a harmonious gathering, the two’s figures vanished at the room’s doorway.
…
“Nuonuo, lower the veil.”
As the soft music started and the onsite chatter gradually quieted down, Mu Fan said softly to the person beside him.
The girl responded softly, then lowered the exclusive accessory of a noble girl—a veil, instantly shrouding her beautiful face in a hazy silk.
Then Mu Fan quietly raised his head to look forward.
On the central auction platform, a handsome and dashing young man stepped onto the stage to give a speech.
“The owner of the West Cold Auction House, Sun Ruo.”
Mu Fan said flatly.
The man in a bow tie next to him gave Mu Fan a baffled look, secretly sneering in his heart.
Crazy!
Who doesn’t know this is Young Master Sun?
Anyone who receives the invitation is familiar with Young Master Sun.
After saying this, Mu Fan fell silent, as did Nuonuo next to him.
“I wonder what this couple is here to buy? This auction doesn’t seem to have anything suited for presenting to a lover.” thought the man in the bow-tie silently. After a glance at Nuonuo’s gentle and hazy profile with the corner of his eye, he returned his gaze to the center of the stage.
Because the intense West Cold Monthly Auction was finally starting.
“The first item, a highly accurate fourth-generation Thunderbird mold from String Wave Laboratory, capable of producing ten batches of Thunderbird Igniters. Starting price 10 million Star Coins…”
“The second item, a complete 8th generation mecha engine from the Gardot Empire, recovered from the space station at the Outer Domain Galaxy, featuring an X-type four-circuit structure, a difficult challenge we’ve yet to overcome. I believe with this, it can aid in your scientific research endeavors. Of course, you can also install it in your mecha… Starting price 50 million Star Coins.”
“The third item…”
“The fourth item…”
The rare, excellent industrial products from the Blue Capital Star continued to appear on the massive central auction platform.
The technological foundation of the Barnard Star System is not just a name, and there wasn’t that lavish pursuit among the attendees.
There was more of a need among business associations for research purposes.
And a few wealthy individuals’ personal modification needs.
Nuonuo quietly accompanied Mu Fan, watching as the items were fiercely contested and taken.
Sweat was quietly forming in the girl’s palm, because as the auction progressed, the time for the mecha [Taigu] to appear was drawing closer.
Meanwhile, beside her, Mu Fan seemed to be…
Taking a nap with his eyes closed.
