Chapter 104: The Black Market Auction

Sponsored Content

 

After the Handsome Star Squad team changed more than ten ways to eat Zergs from the D-class runners to the S-level winged Zerg, they also discovered many new Zerg species. They also tasted a lot of unique alien beasts on Yilan. When having fun and eating delicious food, time flies quickly.

After four or five days of training, Ye Hui couldn't help but mutter, "Well, if my mother can eat food cooked by Sister Yaoyao, it will be fine! Maybe her illness will get better..."

This comment led to an in-depth discussion about the physical condition of Ye Xi and Ye Hui's mother, Xia Shu.

Ye Hui spoiled Ye Xi's original plan, but she had to go ahead with it. Ye Xi knew that Ye Hui said those reckless words because of Ling Yaoyao's good temper and because he was worried about his mother's body.

Ye Xi was embarrassed and asked, "Yaoyao, can you please help me make some supplementary food for my mother? It doesn't matter how much you charge me."

Of course, the money must be taken from her stingy father. Ye Xi had thought about it.

Ling Yaoyao could understand Ye Xi's feelings of seeing a loved one being sick and had to grasp all the hopes to make them feel better.

Grandma Wei also has a genetic disease. There is no pathological radiation factor, but her body is much weaker, and her life expectancy is also reduced by one-third. However, after long-term consumption of SS-grade Zerg meat supplementary food, she was much better and approaching recovery.

Ling Yaoyao feigned anger when she said, "We are all friends. Why do you have to say so much about this little thing? I don't know if the supplementary food I made could be useful for your mother's disease, but try it first anyway."

Even the foodie Qiao Mingyao echoed, "It's not a big deal. We just need to eat more ordinary meals. We don't have to eat supplementary food. Because your mother is sick, of course, we have to give her priority first."

Wei Yuan also expressed his opinion, "Money is not needed. Just use the meat of Zergs and beasts you hunted."

Therefore, Ling Yaoyao made a lot of supplementary foods, put them in the vacuum thermal regulated food box, and gave them to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi was very moved and said thank you very seriously. She silently remembered Ling Yaoyao's kindness.

After he said thank you, Ye Hui said cutely, "Sister Yaoyao, not only do you have a beautiful face, but you are also more beautiful in your heart... If you weren't the girlfriend of my idol, I really want to pry a corner!"

Ling Yaoyao's mouth twitched. "...Even if you talk sweetly, I won't give you another fried Zerg meatballs! It's not good if you eat too much!"

Ye Hui suddenly felt guilty. "...If I can't eat it now, I can also walk around first and save it as a supper."

Because Yilan is far away from the imperial capital, the number of food therapists here is also very rare, and they can't deal with Zerg meat. Most of the Zerg meat here was sold to the Gray Wolf Army. Most people only eat D-class runners and C-class crawlers that have no impurities.

When Xia Shu received the food box, she forced herself to open it because of her daughter, Ye Xi's repeated nagging during their communication.

Who knows, the Zerg meat delicacies in the food box are not terrible at all. They are also looked delicious, making Xia Shu move her index fingers.

After Xia Shu tried it, she found that the food not only looked delicious, it tasted very delicious. It was simply the best supplementary food she had ever eaten. More importantly, it also has a very good curative effect.

Among them, the S-grade winged Zerg meat has the best effect, almost ten times the effect of normal supplementary foods. The effect of other exotic alien beasts made by Ling Yaoyao is also three or four times better than that of other supplementary foods she eats!

Genetic radiation sickness is stubborn and can't be cured. The speed of treatment always fails to keep up with the speed of genetic damage in her body.

However, now she has a hope of healing!

After the black market boss, Ye Shaoqing, knew that Xia Shu had eaten Ling Yaoyao's Zerg meat supplementary food and felt much better, he was very happy. He regretted a little regretted of not having invited them home when the team first arrived at Yilan.

However, he also knew that with Ling Yaoyao's identity, she definitely doesn't care about money. They came to Yilan for experience, and it was impossible to spend all their time making food for Xia Shu.

So Ye Shaoqing began to ask the food therapist at home to use Zerg meat as supplementary food. He found that although the Zerg meat made by ordinary food therapists was not so delicious and the curative effect was not as good as that made by Ling Yaoyao, it was still better than ordinary exotic alien beasts. The effect is more than doubled.

Ye Shaoqing suddenly realized the great value of Zerg meat. He began to purchase and hoard Zerg meat, expand the training of food therapists in Yilan, and increase the introduction of Zerg meat to food therapists.

After all, on Yilan, Xia Shu was not the only one with genetic radiation sickness. There are also hundreds of millions of other patients!

Ye Xi was also very happy after she learned the news. She expressed her gratitude to Ling Yaoyao a little bit more and told her about the spring auction held by the Blue Kite Merchant League two days later. She invited Ling Yaoyao to visit and any lot she wanted. They will treat it as a thank-you gift from the Ye family.

This is what Ye Shaoqing had agreed.

Of course, he also expressed the hope that Ling Yaoyao would continue to provide Xia Shu with supplementary food when she was still in Yilan. After she leaves, it is best to leave them some supplementary food that is convenient for storage.

After all, Xia Shu's disease can't be cured by only eating one or two supplementary foods.

Ling Yaoyao recalled that during the field experience in the military training, Ye Xi used her own body to protect her from danger.

So Ling Yaoyao also wanted to help her to the end. After thinking about it carefully, she said, "SS-grade Zerg meat should be more effective. If possible, ask your father to help pay attention to any SS-grade Zerg meat in the market. After all, supplementary foods that can be stored for a long time will have a slightly reduced effect.

After we return to the Imperial Capital Star, we can ask her to come to the Imperial Capital Star to recuperate there for a while if it is convenient. Even if I can't help make supplementary food for every meal, I can at least help with supplementary food using SS-grade Zerg meat. I did this to for grandpas and grandma."

In order not to make Ye Xi feel that she owed her a lot, Ling Yaoyao agreed to her invitation to the black market auction. "I won't be so polite to you!"

This is not just a polite remark. Ling Yaoyao herself is very curious about the legendary existence of the black market auction. Even if she doesn't lack anything, she wants to see it with her own eyes.

On the day when the biggest auction of the first half of the year was held on the black market owned by the Blue Kite Merchant League, the Handsome Star Squad team returned to the Blue Iris Hotel for a good rest. Because the kitchen space in the hotel is relatively spacious, Ling Yaoyao showed her skills and cooked a sumptuous meal of Zerg meat and alien beasts meat.

 

Before eating, Qiao Mingyao deliberately asked, "Did you leave a portion for Ye Hui's mother?"

Ling Yaoyao glanced at Little Beauty Qiao very strangely and said with a smile, "Of course, I left some for her. Little Qiao, I think you have been wrong recently. You are very concerned about Commander Ye's mother."

Even the little friend, Ye Hui, looked at Qiao Mingyao and said very vigilantly, "Although my mother is very beautiful, she has my father. She won't like you, a little boy toy. Give it up!"

Even Zhao Qingyun could see that the atmosphere between Qiao Mingyao and Ye Xi was not right. He couldn't help but ridicule, "Little friends, you should be more worried about your sister."

Qiao Mingyao immediately reacted. His face was flushed when he said, "Don't talk nonsense. How could I like that manly girl!"

Wei Yuan patted his dumb head when he said, "Don't say too much. Be careful that you would smash your own foot."

Ye Xi just handed the food box to the person sent by Father Ye. When she returned, she found Qiao Mingyao glanced at her with a weird look and then began biting his lips hard. No matter how much she teased him, he wouldn't talk to her.

There is an attitude of drawing a clear line.

The Yilan's black market's auction was indeed very grand. The location was in line with Ling Yaoyao's vision. It was on the second and third floors of a luxury shopping mall, covering an area that was quite wide and could accommodate thousands of people at the same time.

Ordinary people on Yilan without big identities or avenues are not eligible to participate in this auction.

Ling Yaoyao and the others got the top white diamond VIP invitation letter. Ye Xi personally ushered them. The auction room also reserved the best box for them.

Although many commodities are sold openly in the black market auction hosted by the Blue Kite Merchant League, they are not as unrestrained and unscrupulous as the auction in the Dark Star Alliance, where slaves and battleships can be auctioned.

Although there are controlled weapons for auctions here, they are all second-hand goods eliminated by the military. The people above have acquiesced to the auction. Other regulated commodities are also rare, and there is no disclosure of any private information of buyers and sellers.

One of the items for auction is a rice-sized dream star stone with the most common color, white. It was only a rough stone, but it sold for a sky-high price of 50 million.

Ling Yaoyao was stunned. In amazement, she couldn't help but ask Ye Xi in a small voice, "If it is a red dream star stone with a diameter of about 8mm, how much will it cost..."

Ye Xi looked blank and looked at Little Ye Hui next to her, "You tell her."

Even though Ye Hui is young, he cherishes this kind of treasure that represents countless money. "Red is the rarest of the Dream Star Stone, and the price is relatively high. In addition, it depends on the purity, whether the shape is intact, etc... A rough estimate is that two to three hundred million. If the purity is high, it will cost at least four to five billion.

At the autumn auction in late August last year, our Blue Kite Merchant League sold a red dream star stone worth 520 million yuan at the public auction of the main star in Baijia... Speaking of which, the buyer is also a member of the Gray Wolf Legion!"

Didn't Ling Xuan come back to the Imperial Star at the end of August last year? When there was no battle, he was usually stationed at the main star of Baijia... The time, the place, and the buyer were all matched up...

 

In other words, Ling Xuan didn't say anything about it, but the red moonflower earrings that he casually stuffed her with... the original stone was worth five hundred and twenty million!

But except for the first day she received it when she wore it for half an hour, she kept it in her space button and left it idle...

Although he was very reluctant, Wei Yuan still had to sigh, "Your Ling Bo is a customized SS-class mecha, and the raw materials used to make it are the best. It was designed and built by Grandmaster Sophia... The price is not comparable to a few dream star stone earrings."

Even though the Wei family was kind to Ling Yaoyao and gave her many gifts generously, compared to Ling Xuan's degree of gift-giving, it was only a drop in the bucket.

Ling Yaoyao suddenly became =口=!

When Ling Yaoyao thought that the precious things in her space button were worth more than one billion credits, she felt that the treasures on the stands had lost their appeal.

However, in order not to make Ye Xi feel that she owed her a favor, Ling Yaoyao chose some precious sixth-level alien beast meat—cloud codfish, which is said to be very delicious and has high nutritional value. In addition, she also got several kinds of accessories for high-grade pet plants, with a total price of about 50 million yuan.

Ling Yaoyao will use most of this ingredient to make supplementary food for Ye Xi's mother, but she will save some for the two grandpas and grandma Wei at home. Although their health is much better, they also need to be adjusted more.

Ye Xi said helplessly, "In fact, we have five cloud codfish in total. My father left two for my mother and wanted to give two to you, so he only took one out for auction, but since you like it, I will give you all three. We will provide the ingredients for my mother."

Ye Xi insisted that they never run out of high-quality ingredients, so Ling Yaoyao accepted it.

When she realized that Ling Yaoyao likes to collect ingredients, Ye Xi asked that the high-grade exotic animal meat, exotic plant supplements, and medicinal materials be auctioned later. She set aside a portion for Ling Yaoyao and got the people in the auction house to grab the portion for Ling Yaoyao if there was only one.

In addition, a blood crystal that has a promoting effect on blood vine's mutation and can be used as a snack was given to Ling Yaoyao.

Ling Yaoyao harvested one storage space button full of ingredients at the end of the auction. According to the auction price, the total value is estimated to be nearly 200 million... Ling Yaoyao feels ashamed. She was already making a few Zerg meat delicacies and just made a little bit more for Madam Ye...

Ye Xi said, "These are nothing. I also ate all the SS-level Zerg meat delicacies you made before, and I didn't eat less of the S-level and below. I never gave you any money."

Even Ye Hui also said, "I didn't eat less these days. This is our food expenses. If you don't charge us anything, you look down on us."

The Ye family was full of sincerity, but Ling Yaoyao declined to accept it for free. She would make supplementary food for Madam Ye and put more effort into it in the future.

Their other teammates also got something for themselves. Ye Xi put herself as a host. As long as it is a product from the Blue Kite Merchant's own channel, no matter what the value is, she only charges them a slightly higher price than the cost. The official 5% auction fee will be waived for goods consigned by other guests.

After the auction ended, when the Handsome Star Squad team came out from the auction hall, they found that outside the shopping mall was completely messed up. Many civilians screamed and hid in the mall to seek refuge.

Ten minutes ago, wild Zergs in the entire Yilan rioted! Five minutes ago, even major cities were attacked by a large-scale Zerg attack! What's even more frightening is that these Zergs were like taking drugs. They run wild, and their combat power has more than doubled than usual!

An SS-class siren resounded throughout the Bui city!

The dangers on Yilan are not just those that are revealed on the surface...

Ling Yaoyao's heart chucked cruelly, with a bad premonition...

SSS-level insect queen shouldn't be here at this time, right?!

She doesn't know if Ling Xuan has received the warning message she sent before...

As the team leader, Wei Yuan immediately issued orders, "Ye Xi protects Ye Hui, and Little Qiao assists the patrol. Zhao Qingyun and I are responsible for Yaoyao's safety! As soon as we leave the mall, we have to summon our mecha immediately..."
