Chapter 1171 - Auction Part 2 (1/2)

He had to admit, even with the weariness on her face, it didn’t hinder her beauty.

However, what made Jiang Chen even more surprised was her Muscle Strength and Reflex.

Good lord, it’s a superhuman with stats higher than him. Why are lone travelers so OP?

If it weren’t for the eyes fiercer than the murderous Death Claw as well as the murderous vibe, he almost wanted to purchase her to be his bodyguard.

With the exhibition of this “item”, the atmosphere of the entire auction was pushed to a peak.

In order to compete for this “item”, several rich people bid fiercely against each other. With many competing bids, the beautiful lone traveler was won by a buyer who almost couldn’t squeeze into his suit with a price of a kinetic skeleton and 7,000 crystals.

She was pushed back with the cart, and the unfortunate Miss Zhao Qiuran disappeared from everyone’s eyes. Items worth more than 1,000 crystals must be settled through special channels. It was meant to protect the privacy of buyers.

Jiang Chen noticed that in the corner of the hall, a chubby man with fat squeezing out from the buttons of his suit stood up in excitement as he rubbed his hands. He followed the hotel waiter and then went backstage.

He was eager to inspect his “item”.

Perhaps it was his illusion, but Jiang Chen read a hint of disdain on Miss Zhao Qiuran’s face when she was pushed back. She didn’t look nervous at all. Either she was prepared to die, or she prepared backup plans.

The chubby man probably wouldn’t be able to enjoy his item.

He shook his head, then Jiang Chen left the thought behind and continued to read through the catalog.

Even if he bought her, she was likely to be used as a sex toy. He was not a philanthropist, and he didn’t need something as disdainful as a sex toy. It just didn’t make sense to take on the risk while spending 7,000 crystals.

What’s more, he couldn’t help everyone.

In less than half an hour, the auction sold more than 20 slaves at an incredible speed.

Among them were mature women who were graceful and little lolis in cute skirts. The age range served people with all different tastes.

In addition, Jiang Chen also found a very interesting thing.

Often the female lone travelers with only above average beauty could be sold at a higher price than the pre-war celebrities with perfect figures and beauty. For example, a former actress who had produced a lot of albums and starred in two movies was only sold for 4,000 crystals, which was just half the price of Zhao Qiuran.

Is it because the capturing process is more difficult?

Or because of a deformed desire to conquer, or some other psychological needs…

The children of the former Pan-Asia Cooperation officials, especially the non-clone ones with complete ID information, were also highly sought after by the rich.

…

On the other side of the auction hall, Wan Peng was also in a VIP booth. He looked at the auction venue leisurely as he enjoyed the pair of hands perfect like jade massaging him.

Next to him stood a middle-aged man in a suit.

Judging from his respectful look, he should be Wan Peng’s butler.

“Is the investigation done?”

“Not yet,” said the middle-aged man. “The hotel is not willing to cooperate with our investigation. They said that if they disclosed the information of the buyer, the reputation of the Dorsett Hotel would be completely ruined.”

After listening to the middle-aged man, Wan Peng’s expression didn’t change. His eyes half-narrowed, enjoying the massage while he ordered.

“It’s okay. If this is the case, we’ll do Mr. Ma a favor and purchase it.”

As he spoke, the slave auction came to an end.

Now, half of the entire auction was over.

Jiang Chen crossed his legs, looked at the catalog, and used one ear to listen to the auctioneer praising each item. However, as everything was irrelevant to him, he didn’t show any interest.

As the beautiful host examined the VIP who just flipped through the same catalog, she was anxious, but she could not say anything.

Just then, in the center of the auction hall, a black trolley was pushed up.

From the tray on the trolley, the auctioneer picked up a card.

“It is said that there is a mysterious subway line buried deep under the more than 40 subway lines in Shangjing that serves as the passage to the Pan-Asia Cooperation’s strategic reserve. It is not within the urban transportation system and is not open to the public. This special ‘subway line’ is called Line 0!”

People began exchanging information and whispering.

In VIP booth 076, Jiang Chen put down the catalog in his hand, looked at the auctioneer on the platform, and waited quietly for him to continue. In VIP booth 001 directly opposite of him, Wan Peng also slightly opened his eyes.

“It is rumored that Subway Line 0 is not an ordinary subway line. It is buried with a large amount of war storage materials and industrial equipment. It is the treasure of Pan-Asia Cooperation. If anyone possesses the treasure, this person will undoubtedly become the richest individual in the entire Shangjing area and even the whole wasteland!”

“And this card in my hand is the ticket to Subway Line 0. It is rumored that even if the location is found, a special ID card is required to pass the security at Subway Line 0… ID card of Subway Line 0, starting price, 1,000 crystals!”

Whoever possessed the treasure of Pan-Asia Cooperation would become the richest person on the wasteland.

It was tempting, but the survivors were not stupid.

Disregarding the location of the treasure, the first issue would be its existence. Even with the key to the treasure chest, so what?

But that being said, this ID card must possess some value, at least it could be valued as a collection item.
