Chapter 5 Unknown Red Scale
After a long fierce battle with Old Tang, Lu Mingfei stretched out his waist and was about to withdraw from the network when a big-faced cat avatar suddenly jumped out and invited him to fight.
Let’s just fight again. The name ‘Nono’ sounds like a girl when you hear it, and the people who fight well in the channel are all uncle-level figures. Let’s just treat it as the last entertainment for today.
However, the more I fought, the more frightened I became. It was as if the opponent was cheating on me, and every move I made was anticipated.
The originally undisciplined spirit was suddenly stimulated, and I followed every step of the order in a cold sweat. In the end, I had no choice but to take the risk of upgrading to a third-level base and plan to give it a try.
"You are upgrading your base to level three."
A line of words popped up at the bottom of the screen. Lu Mingfei was stunned, and then typed GG directly.
Returning to the QQ page, Lu Mingfei sent a message.
"sharp."
Nuonuo just responded with a grinning expression and logged off.
"I didn't expect there to be girls who are so good at playing StarCraft."
After paying the Internet fee, Lu Mingfei walked on the road late at night and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Sure enough, it is better to live in your own world. Looking at these flashing lights, although they are dazzling, they illuminate the world.
While walking slowly, I unknowingly wandered into the dark shadow of the city. This is the shadow under the light, where evil lies.
In addition to the interview today, he originally planned to take a good tour of the world and see the gatherings of the so-called big guys. In the previous time, it was really boring between school and family.
The world is so big, but he hasn't taken a good look at it. There are three mountains, five lakes and four seas, and how people in this world survive.
After buying a few skewers of barbecue, Lu Mingfei looked around and continued walking. There was only a small fuss around him. Unfortunately, there was no interesting person like Chen Motong this time, which made him less interesting.
When we arrived at the pier, compared to other places, this pier was much quieter. There was only a little starlight at the end point. With a clear goal, Lu Mingfei walked towards the night view.
"Stop ahead."
This is the end of the pier, and the sound of the waves covers up much of it.
Lu Mingfei looked at the person who appeared in front of him with great interest. He was wearing a mask and holding his hands, standing in the shadow of the corner, as if waiting for something.
"Why stop?"
"Kid, this is not the place you should be. I'm going to advise you this time."
The masked man didn't seem to be specifically here to stop people, but more like a gatekeeper. While guarding the gate, he suddenly saw a somewhat pitiful guy and kindly offered a warning.
"Thank you, uncle."
Lu Mingfei smiled and continued to eat the barbecue in his hand. It seemed that the news about the big flowery arms was accurate.
Passing where the masked man was, at the end of the pier, there was a dim ship moored.
"Ferry ticket."
This is the second gatekeeper. He stands in front of the ladder that must be used to board the ship, stopping those who are not qualified.
Lu Mingfei picked up the bamboo stick that had been barbecued, and with a surge of strength in his hand, he inserted it straight into the concrete floor with a 'whoosh' sound, leaving only the tail exposed.
The gatekeeper's attitude immediately changed, he bowed and said in a flattering tone.
"Please, please."
The auction on the ship had already begun, and Lu Mingfei quietly blended into the group of local bosses and admired their auction.
"The seventh lot, a box of cigars from Brazil, has a base price of 100,000."
As soon as the name of the item was announced, it aroused countless big shots competing for it. They had no worries about selling such high-end luxury goods.
The next items to be auctioned were nothing more than some materials of unknown origin that were smuggled out of the country and eaten indiscriminately. The drugs and guns he imagined did not appear.
This auction gave Lu Mingfei a lot of experience. It turned out that there was also serious business in the shadows.
Near the end, the auctioneer rolled out a box covered with red cloth, making it extremely mysterious.
"The next auction item is a mysterious item that was accidentally salvaged from the Three Gorges."
The auctioneer didn't show any concern. All the people present were rough and tumble, so they just opened the red cloth.
It was an extremely delicate scale, fiery red in color like burning flames, but it was half the size of a human body. This was impossible.
The largest known scaly fish in the world is the arapaima from the Amazon, but its scales are only as big as a palm.
It is really hard to imagine who the owner of this scale is, or simply say that this is a handicraft.
"Please be quiet, we absolutely guarantee that this is not an artificial handicraft, it is purely natural scales.
I believe everyone is very interested in this, so his salvage location will be given to everyone for free. We salvaged it near Baidi City in the Three Gorges."
The auctioneer looked at the noisy crowd and smiled knowingly. This was the result he wanted.
"You can imagine how huge the owner of this scale is. It is most likely a dragon in Chinese legend. Even if you don't capture it, you can still make money by taking it back as a decoration or selling it to others.
However, in view of the special nature of this item, we decided that its starting price is one yuan."
This caused quite a commotion, but bidding soon began.
Lu Mingfei in the crowd opened his elemental vision and observed the scale carefully. Unexpectedly, he would gain something special from wandering out this time.
This is a piece of dead scale, which was automatically shed by the owner of the scale. The surface is as smooth as new, and it feels like it can be used as a mirror.
As for the inner part, it is a manic flame, with the rushing fire element roaring in it, as if it is fighting against the heaven and the earth.
Lu Mingfei withdrew his elemental vision. This elemental power was not weak. If I had to say it, it could almost match Xiao Keli in her normal state.
Three Gorges? Baidi City? Let’s go and see it in a few days.
Lu Mingfei subconsciously ignored the money. After hanging out with Morax and Wendy for so long, he had long been accustomed to not having money.
The reason why he is rich today is because he robbed Lu Mingze and Dahuaji yesterday, otherwise he would have saved the time of going to the Internet cafe.
This scale was finally auctioned off for 3.2 million, which also marked the end of the auction.
Lu Mingfei sneaked away before the crowd dispersed, glanced at a group of security guards by the boat ladder, and used the wind element to fly away.
Today I saw scenery that I had never seen before, and I felt good, so I didn’t care about these people anymore.
Flying to a dark corner, Lu Mingfei straightened his clothes and continued to wander slowly.
How could a good student still be out strolling around early in the morning? These night views were also what he wanted to see.
When I returned to the community where I lived, it was already dawn. I opened the door gently, and what I saw was not an empty living room, but my uncle who was half lying on the sofa, and my aunt who was sitting next to him and fell asleep.
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Although his uncle and aunt were usually a bit mean to him, they didn't expect that he had been missing all night and they had been waiting in the living room.
Gently covering them with quilts, Lu Mingfei returned to his room and fell asleep with warmth and comfort.
A new book for newcomers, recommended by everyone, start collecting it.
