Chapter 1190: Chapter 1189: Four-dimensional Mirror
"Ladies and gentlemen, hello. I am delighted to welcome you here for this auction. Please sit in your designated seats; our auction is about to begin. Today, we have four items up for auction. Please adhere to the auction rules. If you see an item you want, bid on it. We will conduct the auction with fairness, justice, and transparency."
A tall female host spoke on the auction stage.
"It’s starting, it’s starting," Zhao Shuai said excitedly, "First, please look at the first item."
The host spoke as she lifted the red cloth off the first auction item, revealing a transparent glass box on the auction stage. Inside the glass box was a spherical object resembling a black marble. Lin couldn’t understand what this unimpressive ’marble’ was.
"Look, the marble is glowing!" Wu said excitedly. "The light looks very much like the Glazed Light Lin saw when he first entered the tunnel. Lin even wondered how such precious Glazed Cups could be placed all along the sides of the tunnel." The first auction item, ’Black Pupil,’ a source that can create a thousand Glazed Cups, everyone here knows how rare it is. Alright, the auction begins."
The host briefly introduced Black Pupil, "If this Black Pupil is placed in a spaceship’s front scan system, it can detect all incoming space debris and immediately feedback to the central control personnel. It’s quite nice," Lin thought, but he didn’t need it, as his spaceship was equipped with the most advanced anti-particle monitoring equipment, so he didn’t need Black Pupil. "Fifty thousand, someone has started bidding."
"One hundred thousand!" Zhao Shuai suddenly shouted, "Zhao, do you need this?" Qi Rongfeng asked, "Of course, to install it at home to prevent burglary!" Zhao Shuai replied with a serious face. Well, it was clear Zhao was creating a fuss here. Unknowingly, the price for just one Black Pupil had risen to five hundred thousand. And the bidding continued to escalate.
"Oh, how boring, I’m out, you guys fight over it," Zhao might not want to play anymore and stopped bidding. He took out his phone to check the time, "How long has it been, what’s the plan for this auction item?" Wu Shan was also getting impatient, "Eight hundred thousand once, eight hundred thousand twice, eight hundred thousand thrice!"
Alright, sold." Lin actually didn’t expect this auction item to fetch such a high price. Even though Black Pupil was precious, scientists on a planet like Kai Ao Star with such technological levels should be able to produce items with the same function. So it’s not entirely unique. But soon, Lin started looking forward to the second auction item.
"The second auction item, ’Four-dimensional Mirror,’ as the name suggests, through a Four-dimensional Mirror, you can see a different four-dimensional world. Auction begins." Four-dimensional Mirror?
This is interesting; what does the four-dimensional world look like?" Qi Rongfeng muttered, "Lin, do you know? Maybe you’ve seen it before?" "Yes, I’m curious too," Wu Fen said, "The world we live in is a four-dimensional space. The usual so-called three-dimensional refers to length, width, and height. With these three dimensions, they constitute a three-dimensional world. The so-called four-dimensional adds a time axis to make the three-dimensional world dynamic. Like the wormholes in the universe," Lin explained to them, "I really want to see the four-dimensional world!" Zhao Shuai said,
"Yeah, I really want to see it too, but Lin, have you seen it before?" Qi Rongfeng felt as if Lin had seen the four-dimensional world before. "Not really, I’ve only heard about it," Lin had entered the four-dimensional world at a space station before and thought there was nothing special, so he wasn’t looking forward to the Four-dimensional Mirror, "Five hundred thousand!" The auction had started, "Six hundred thousand!" Zhao Shuai shouted, "Why so much increase, Zhao, don’t keep making blind calls, okay?" Wu Fen said, "Haha, sorry, Miss Wu, Zhao is like this, you’ll get used to it.
Qi Feng said with a laugh, "Oh, I really want the Four-dimensional Mirror."
Zhao Shuai said with a grievance expression, "Do you actually understand auctions? If you really like this auction item, you should wait for others to slowly increase the price, then bid yourself at a suitable time, that’s the way to possibly win it," Wu Shan said, "Haha, these two are really amusing," Qi Rongfeng laughed and said to Lin, "Fifteen hundred thousand!" "Two million!" Zhao Shuai said. It seemed Zhao was truly attracted to the Four-dimensional Mirror. Lin thought, Zhao, don’t get so carried away with bids, remember your father hasn’t given you much pocket money, what if you bid and can’t afford it?
Qi Rongfeng reminded Zhao, "Yeah, my dad is still mad at me; my credit card is still frozen, ugh, forget it, forget it," Zhao Shuai sighed with regret, "Two million five hundred thousand!" At this time, Wu Shi bid, "Alright, two million five hundred thousand! Sold!" Zhao Shuai looked at Wu Shi with surprise, "Can you let me play with this Four-dimensional Mirror now that you have it?" Zhao Shuai asked Wu Shi, "Do you think everyone spends this much money on something just to play? I have a serious use for it, alright," Wu Fen glanced at Zhao Shuai,
But what serious use do you have, Miss Wu?"
Qi Rongfeng asked, "That’s a secret for now, hehe," Wu Fen said mysteriously. "Oh, really, I wish I could see the four-dimensional world," Zhao Shuai still felt regretful, "I need to go to the bathroom," Zhao Shuai said, then got up and headed to the restroom. Lin had seen the cosmic four-dimensional world, "If Zhao Shuai really sees the four-dimensional world, he’ll probably be very disappointed," Lin Shuai thought. When he saw the wormhole, he was truly startled. He hadn’t expected so much cosmic debris now in space; the order inside the wormhole was chaotic, and he spun around in the four-dimensional world before coming out.
Okay, the first two auction items are all sold now, we’ll take a short break before auctioning the remaining items," the host said. The first two auction items seemed very ordinary to Lin; at least for now, they had no benefit for him. "Hey, Zhao Shuai, how come it takes so long to go to the bathroom?" Qi Rongfeng said, Lin also noticed that Zhao Shuai had been in the bathroom for quite some time, "Hey, how scary, guess what I saw in the bathroom?"
Zhao Shuai ran over, breathlessly saying in panic. Lin and Qi Rongfeng hastily asked what was wrong, "I just went into the bathroom, but when I entered, it was still the same as before, as if I found myself still outside the bathroom. So I went in again but felt like I was still outside. It was scary, what’s going on?" You mean it’s like being stuck in a game? Thinking you went in, but you’re still in the same place?
Qi Rongfeng asked, "Yes, just like that. It scared me," Zhao Shuai said, patting his chest, "You aren’t pretending to be a ghost, are you? How could such a thing happen?" Wu Shan glared at Zhao Shuai and said, "No, if you don’t believe it, see for yourself."
"Let’s go check it out," Lin said.
