Chapter 225 Chapter 225

Mi Li had a smile on her face. Looking at such a butler, she actually felt that he was both lively and interesting.

And at this moment, the beautiful robot on the platform started speaking!

"Gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to our auction. Now let me introduce the items in this auction to you..." said the beautiful robot with a smile.

Everyone had their own private room, so Mi Li naturally couldn't hear other people's discussions. However, each private room in their auction this time had a display screen.

The lighted ones mean someone is bidding.

Mi Li lay steadily in the butler's arms, looking at the lit screen.

The robot beauty introduced a lot of things, and after five minutes, the first item was put up for auction.

The lights on the platform suddenly lit up, and a small ball slowly rose from the bottom. When the small ball was opened, it turned out to be an energy stone emitting charming purple light.

An energy stone the size of an adult's fist, lavender in color, was suspended above the platform, and Mi Li couldn't help but gasp when he saw it.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a beautiful and large energy stone!

The robot beauty was not polite. When the energy stone was fully displayed in front of everyone, she spoke.

"This is the first item in our auction. This is the first sample. There are nine energy stones of similar quality left. We are going to auction them all off. The highest bidder wins!"

As she spoke, the robot beauty waved her hand, and the remaining nine energy stones appeared around the platform in the form of virtual images.

Such a large piece of energy stone is enough to provide enough energy for a civilian spacecraft to fly for thirty years!

Besides, it is rare to see energy stones of such a large size.

When the robot beauty started bidding, Mi Li saw on the screen that several private rooms were participating in the auction.

Starting from the lowest price of one million, it soared all the way to eight million star coins.

Mi Li looked at it with envy. If she could get these ten energy stones, her spatial ability would probably be able to be further improved. Although they were not as big as the energy stones she got from the Zerg mining star before, they were still good for practicing.

"Butler! We took a picture of it!" Mi Li said in a baby voice.

If she had seen so many star coins before, she would definitely not be able to take them out, but things are different now. Now millions are no big deal for her.

The housekeeper held the rice grains in one hand and pressed down the bidding price with the other hand.

The price was raised by five hundred thousand and five hundred thousand, and soon the price of the ten energy stones reached nine million star coins. At this price, only one private room was still bidding with Mi Li.

"My young master, this price is beyond the value range of these energy stones! We can add up to 500,000!!!"

The butler's eyes flickered, and he also helped estimate the price at the beginning. It was at most 9.5 million. If it exceeded the value, his program would not recommend buying it.

"Then increase it to 9.45 million if the other party raises the price!" Mi Li had already gotten down from the butler's arms, and with a light move of her little hands, the nuts in her hands were peeled open.

However, the other party was also testing the price, raising it to 9.1 million. The butler kept moving his hands, and this time he directly lowered the price to 9.45 million.

Sure enough, the last person who bid with them has stopped following them!

"It seems that the other party also has an analysis robot!" Mi Li exclaimed.

"Nine million four hundred and fifty thousand once, nine million four hundred and fifty thousand twice, nine million four hundred and fifty thousand three times! Congratulations to room 305 for getting ten purple energy stones!!!" The robot beauty was particularly enthusiastic when she shouted out the price this time.

The first wave of pre-auction items sold at good prices, which at least proved that there were still some valuable items in this auction.

When the second lot came up, Mi Li couldn't help but gasp, this... this is too big!!!

There were three more mermaids on the platform, both male and female, posing and flirting. They had very little clothing on their bodies, but they seemed to be bewitched and put on a very flattering look.

The housekeeper quickly covered Mi Li's eyes and said

"This is not something a little cub should see!"

"Isn't this illegal?" Mi Li said in a muffled voice.

This is the first time I've encountered such a beautiful mermaid. This should be their animal form!

I had always thought about visiting the mermaid planet when I grew up, but now seeing this scene, Mi Li really didn’t expect it.

"Young master, this is a common thing in underground auctions. Don't be afraid, they have been completely brainwashed. Now they are just bodies without souls! Don't be afraid!" the butler comforted him repeatedly.

If he had known that such a small auction would include humans in mermaid form, he would never have brought the little cub in.

"I'm fine! I'm not afraid! Butler!" Mi Li pulled the butler's hand and said in a low voice.

She had already prepared for this underground auction! As long as she had a clear goal and didn't cause any trouble, she would be able to get out safely.

The auction started soon. Mi Li looked at the rising numbers on the screen. Just for these three mermaids, the number of star coins soared to more than 10 million.

Mi Li looked at the soaring numbers and couldn't help but gasp. What were these people doing? Was this the fun of the rich?

"These humans in mermaid form have basically been completely brainwashed. Many of them are given as gifts to powerful people in need. So if you want to save them, it is almost impossible..." said the butler while searching for information.

Beautiful mermaids often get lost on the Mermaid Planet and are taken to underground auction houses by human traffickers for training and brainwashing. After the auction, the mermaids who are bought back rarely run away.

Moreover, even if they are rescued by their own people, they will still return to their masters!

The housekeeper explained to Mi Li the materials he had found one by one.

"Isn't there any measure taken on the Mermaid Planet?" Mi Li looked up at the butler and asked.

"Yes! Their planet is not open to anyone to play at will now, and the Empire has also given them planetary autonomy. In other words, in order to prevent these mermaid traders, it is extremely difficult to enter the mermaid planet. In addition, their combat effectiveness is extremely high, so it is also difficult to tame them!"

This explains why these humans in mermaid form can be auctioned for such high prices.

"Hasn't anyone figured out how to solve this brainwashing problem?" Mi Li continued to ask.

"Not at the moment!" the butler replied in a deep voice.

“However, I estimate that there are also mermaids among the bidders below!” The butler narrowed his eyes.

Mi Li paused while holding the fruit in her hand, and suddenly thought of something, so she asked directly,

"Butler, isn't this place signal-blocked? How did you know?"

The butler turned his gaze back from the platform, looked at Mi Li, and suddenly smiled.

"Because the signal blocking authority here is not as high as mine!"

Mi Li: ...

There's nothing to brag about!

"Wow! Are all baby robots so powerful? Butler, you are so awesome!" Mi Li "praised" expressionlessly.

But this is also good, the housekeeper can also analyze the real price of the black mine planet for her later! Then we can see whether it is worth buying it.

The three humans in mermaid form were quickly auctioned off, followed by several different items, each one more valuable than the last.

This also includes the experimental machine that Godfrey Freeman once mentioned to Li Xian.

It was sold for 25 million star coins. Mi Li looked at the only screen that was still lit and knew that this must have been auctioned by Godfrey Freeman!

……

Half an hour later, it was finally time to get to the black mineral planet that Mi Li had always wanted to buy.

The robot beauty still showed the items to be auctioned with a smile on her face. A beam of light slowly rose in the middle of the platform, and the virtual forms of the five planets were slowly and completely revealed to everyone.

Mi Li thought it was put in the wrong place!

We agreed to only take one photo! He didn't follow the rules and took five photos!!!

Five! It would cost at least 2.5 billion!!!

"This is the thirteenth lot, five mining stars!!!" the robot beauty introduced enthusiastically.

"Our boss said, and I'm not lying, that these five mining stars have all their energy stones mined out, and our people have now completely evacuated. There aren't many resources and scraps left, but the mining equipment is still there. The size of each mining star is approximately..."

The robot beauty explained the situation one by one. On a planet like this, the energy stones should have been mined out! No one should want them.

But as the saying goes, there is always a loophole in a perfect plan. Although most of these planets have been mined, there is still a high possibility that they can produce high-energy stones.

An energy stone as big as the first lot, with just ten pieces, can be sold for a high price of over nine million. If there are bigger and more of them, wouldn’t it sell for even more?

"The boss said, in order to thank everyone for taking the time out of their busy schedule to come to our auction, this is just a prize. There is no minimum price. You'll make a profit if you can get it! Even if it's only one star coin, we will resell it directly!" Seeing that there was no movement, the robot beauty spoke again.

Sure enough, someone really offered a high price of one star coin, and then, as if people's desire to win was completely aroused, people soon started bidding.

Li Xian spent about 500 million to buy a barren planet, but this time, the five mining planets estimated by the housekeeper for Mi Li were less than 2 billion.

"Are you serious? This is so cheap?" Mi Li's big almond eyes were full of shock.

There are so many planets, it seems like they are on sale!!!

"Assuming that all the energy stones have been mined, this is indeed the case. In addition, most planets that can produce energy stones cannot continue to generate other economic benefits. After buying them back, they will just be left idle.

Of course, if there are still some marginal energy stones, we can continue to dig, but there are not many that exceed 2 billion!"

What I mean is that you have to gamble! If you gamble right, you can make money, but if you gamble wrong, you can't even get your money back.

"Uh! I still want to try bidding, butler, please help me!" Mi Li looked at the butler and said seriously.

It seems that the star coins in her account should be able to absorb so many planets. Moreover, after the housekeeper's analysis, she is even more confident!

What can you feel when each mining star needs manual mining inspections by people like Godfrey Freeman?

She has a human-shaped plug-in, so it is a simple matter for her to check the source of minerals.

This is simply like picking up money anywhere!

For the first time, I felt that this space ability was really good!

Once the passion for the auction was aroused, some people who had never bid before also participated. I have to say! This wave of reverse sales at this auction was really powerful!

500 million, 600 million, 700 million, 800 million...

The numbers are constantly rising, and the butler is also in a wait-and-see state. The real big guys always appear last. Now that the prices are rising, he only needs to compete in the last step.

Sure enough, after reaching 1.5 billion, the number of bidders began to slowly decrease, with only a few people still persisting.

"Let's start! Butler! 1.8 billion!!!" Mi Li took a bite of the fruit and said casually.

As soon as these words were spoken and the number came up, the remaining bidders couldn't help but gasp when they saw the price being directly raised to 1.8 billion.

"Myers, can we continue now?" One bidder's eyes turned red and he turned to ask the analyst who came with him.

"Boss, my advice is not to follow. These five empty mining planets are not worth it and will cause a lot of trouble later!" Miles analyzed.

At the same time, people in other private rooms were also questioning the analysts they brought with them, and they all felt that this person was very likely to have more star coins than they brought, and that anything over 2 billion was simply not a price they could afford.

Some people also believe in conspiracy theories, thinking that this is most likely a false bid made by the auctioneer, and they will be the ones who lose money in this case.

So, when Mi Li shouted out the number 1.8 billion, no one was willing to follow.

Xing Renxing, who had just arrived, looked a little anxious in a private room.

These five mining stars were auctioned for only 1.8 billion, which was totally different from the price he expected.

"Boss, how about I go follow him?" the assistant beside him couldn't help but ask.

Xing Renxing raised his left hand slightly and said,

"Check the reported amount for this private room!"

"Boss, a little over 100 million, and they have already bought the first lot for 9.45 million!" the assistant replied, bending over.

"No need to follow!" Xing Renxing said in a deep voice.

It seems that if they go ahead, these five planets will most likely fall into their own hands.

Besides, although the expected price was not reached, the five mining stars had already been mined by them, so it was useless.

At Xing Renxing's signal, the robot beauty's counting voice became much more normal.

"Eighteen billion...once...times, eighteen...billion...twice...times, eighteen billion three times, congratulations to room 305 for winning five mining star planets!" The robot beauty's voice was enthusiastic and sincere.

Mi Li was a little nervous when he heard the count.

"What's going on with this robot beauty? I didn't see her getting so stuck just now!" Mi Li said.

"Maybe the auctioneer wants to raise the price a little more! But they don't want to follow!" the butler replied with a smile.
