Chapter 400 Auction House

Today, there are 398 large and small fortresses in the hinterland of China from south to north and from east to west. Among them, small fortresses account for the majority, with medium and large fortresses like Jiangcheng accounting for a small half, and fortresses like Shangjing. There are only ten super fortresses like Hemodu in the whole of China.

The remaining population in China is less than one-third of what it was before the great change. But even so, China is still the country with the most survivors in the world. The situation in the entire world is now very bad. North America relies on its rich experience in actual combat and its heavy military situation. Slightly better.

Over in Europe, alien gods have risen, the land has been bloody for thousands of miles, and all kinds of weird things are rampant. The remaining population of the entire continent is less than one-tenth of what it was before the great change. What these guys do every day is to use the few remaining satellites to attack China. and North America asked for help, hoping that China and North America could form an expedition team to rescue them.

China's old neighbors in the north did not fully anticipate the drastic changes after the great changes in the world. In addition, the troops were extremely poorly prepared for war. Now they are trapped in less than one-tenth of their original territory. They claim to have seven major fortresses. I am afraid that only they themselves know the actual situation. .

It is almost impossible to form effective resistance in other places and has almost completely fallen. Various creatures that can only appear in ancient myths and legends have become the new rulers. The entire earth can now be said to be in chaos.

Although there are still a lot of fortresses in China, fortresses are breached every year. Last year, about twenty-seven fortresses were breached throughout China. The number was slightly less than the previous year, but not much less.

Once a full-scale war breaks out between the survivors and the monsters again, the number of breached fortresses will immediately increase dramatically.

The current situation in China is also very bad, but the overall situation can be maintained. Moreover, after the resurgence of spiritual energy and the rise of Gao Wu, the internal power of mankind is also rapidly accumulating. It is not that there is no chance for mankind to make a comeback in the future.

The Chaos City that Li Mu is going to is the closest and largest Chaos City to Jiangcheng. The Chaos City accepts people, intelligent demons, half-demon people, evil cultivators, demons, monsters and other races of any kind, as long as they do not destroy the Chaos City. According to the city's rules, they are allowed to enter anything.

It is also because they are not hostile to humans or monsters and have no obvious position preference, so it is easier for them to exist than the Survivor Fortress.

The chaotic city that Li Mu was going to was about five hundred kilometers away from Jiangcheng. According to the geographical divisions before the great change, Li Mu had actually left the province. It took him about a month to arrive.

This city of chaos was built deep in the Dabie Mountains. It was once a fortress, but something happened later and it became a city of chaos without a position. To the human survivors, this was a betrayal, but in fact there were still a large number of people living here. of human survivors.

Li Mu glanced at the huge rock city wall cut from the mountain wall and watched all kinds of races entering the huge city gate under surveillance. He also walked in among the crowd.

According to the information collected by Wuhan University, the permanent population of this chaotic city exceeds 500,000, but there are almost no ordinary people among these 500,000. There are martial monks and monks here, felons wanted by major fortresses, and traitors from the martial arts academy and the monastic academy. , evil cultivator, half-demon, offended the big enemy, people hiding here.

Most ordinary people here can only work as slaves, maids, or food. The city of chaos has never been a place where ordinary people can easily survive.

The rules of the City of Chaos also do not include protecting ordinary people.

"Compared with Yuan Tiangang, the difference in realm between me and Yuan Tiangang is actually not a big problem. I have spiritual spring water and often experience wars. My realm will definitely improve faster than Yuan Tiangang. Two years is enough for me to catch up with him. Even if I can't catch up, It won’t be too far off!”

"The difference between Yuan Tiangang and me is mainly in martial arts. I only acquired Zhenwu Shenquan and Holy Spirit Sword Technique in more than half a year, while Yuan Tiangang has been practicing the Heaven-Destroying Hand for six or seven years. He has already perfected the Heaven-Destroying Hand. Dzogchen, I have to catch up in this regard!”

"I can practice Zhenwu Shenquan and Holy Spirit Sword Technique slowly, but not the Immortal Vajra Body. If you want to practice the twelfth level of the Immortal Vajra Body, you need some external help, such as using the Buddhist golden body or relics. Son, before the great change of heaven and earth, the Buddhist golden bodies and relics left by the great monks had no special power, but after the great change of heaven and earth, it was different. They already had the power to restrain ghosts and monsters. However, after so many years of great change of heaven and earth, Most of these things have been destroyed or hidden, so it’s not easy to find them!”

"The City of Chaos communicates between the north and the south and trades with various races. Maybe there is news, so you can come here to find it!"

Li Mu calmed down his aura and entered the city of chaos directly. He found a hotel on the street in the city and walked in. The name of this hotel was the Yangtze River Hotel. It was actually just a five-story small house. There was a large handwritten advertisement on it. It said that eating was expensive, but on the contrary, the prices for finding women were shockingly low.

When the drastic changes in the world cause human beings to shift from inheritance and reproduction to survival as the first purpose, the status of women can be imagined.

"Get a better room!" Li Mu walked into the hotel and threw a piece of gold over and said.

Gold is one of the hard currencies in the City of Chaos. Alliance coins are useless here. Other elixirs and herbs can also be used as currency. The most popular thing here is bartering.

"Okay, boss, please, there is a presidential suite on the fifth floor. I will take you upstairs!" The boss weighed the gold, then put it in his mouth and bit it. He felt that the gold was real and led Li Mu with a smile on his face.

The so-called presidential suite is actually a large single room, but the environment is relatively clean, and the entire street can be overlooked from the window.

"Boss, do you want a little girl? I have girls of eighteen, mature women of twenty-eight, and mature women of thirty-eight, the price is cheap, and they are innocent!"

The boss opened the door and said with a smile on his face.

"You don't seem to be suitable to introduce to Tongsou!" Li Mu glanced at him and said casually, "Is there a big trading house near you that has more goods and is well-informed?"

"Yes, yes, there is a trading house called 'Golden Country' near us. It is one of the five major trading houses in our city of chaos. You can basically get information about goods going north and south there. After three days, the gold The country is about to hold an auction. This auction is only held twice a year in the Golden Kingdom. At that time, all kinds of rare treasures will gather. If the boss is interested, you can go and take a look!"

The hotel owner said quickly.

"Well, boss, please help me make a trip to the Kingdom of Gold and let me know that I want to buy the remains of eminent monks or relics. I only want genuine goods, and I have the means to check the authenticity of the things. The fake ones are No need to bring it!”

Li Mu threw over a small piece of gold and said.

"No problem, boss, I'll be there right away!" The boss's face was overjoyed. He hadn't met such a cheerful high-roller for a long time. He turned around and took two steps, then quickly turned back and asked, "Boss, you really don't want a little girl?" ?”

"No, go and let me know the news!" Li Mu said impatiently. Cui Xuanlong and Yuan Tiangang were two big mountains that were weighing on his head. How could he be in the mood to do this? He had to fight all the way from Jiangcheng. I didn't travel more than five hundred kilometers just to find my little sister.

In today's world, what kind of perverted and hungry ghost would risk his life and travel 500 kilometers to find his little sister.

Seeing that Li Mu was impatient, the hotel owner hurriedly ran all the way to the Golden Kingdom to inform Li Mu.

In the past three days, there was no news about the remains of the eminent monk and the relics. Li Mu asked everywhere to no avail. In the past three days, Li Mu even noticed someone snooping. These snoopers may have been called by the owner of the Yangtze River Hotel. , or maybe someone else.

There may be good people in the City of Chaos, but there are definitely not as many good people as there are bad people. Seeing Li Mu spend a lot of money, it is normal for him to want to kill people and buy goods. No one cares about this matter in the City of Chaos.

However, Li Mu deliberately suppressed his aura, and kept his aura at the master level. He couldn't figure out the way, and he didn't know if he had any good stuff. There was no need to take risks to deal with a grandmaster. The master was considered a master in the city of chaos. .

On the fourth day, dark clouds filled the sky, silver snakes flashed and disappeared in the clouds, and heavy rain was brewing over the city.

Li Mu followed the flow of people into this magnificently decorated large trading house. The hall of this large trading house had been decorated and prepared for an auction.

A luxurious crystal lamp hangs high in the center of the hall, and the marble floor on the ground shines brightly. Beautiful maids in cheongsam greet the guests with smiles on their faces.

However, it is not that easy to officially participate in the auction. Before entering the auction venue, capital verification is required, and at least one thing of value must be on you.

The more valuable the things you carry, the more they are taken seriously. If the things are not valuable enough, they will be kicked out directly. The auction house in the city of chaos is all about bartering. You don’t even have anything valuable on you, so why go to an auction? Watching the fun?

"Sir, please check your qualifications!" A beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam with looming thighs walked up to Li Mu carrying a tray and said.

"Snapped!"

Li Mu reached out and touched it casually in the storage bag, grabbed a dark long sword and put it on the tray. The beauty who was holding the tray was still smiling, but when she saw the dark long sword, her face suddenly changed. Suddenly, he showed a shocked expression.

"Is this a golden jade and black sword?" The beauty in cheongsam exclaimed, carefully brought the tray to her eyes, looked at it carefully and immediately called the manager not far away. The manager in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses trotted away quickly. Come over.

This black sword was the sword used by Li Zhenjiang for the assassination. Li Mu had the Moon-Zhancing Sword in his hand, so he didn't pay much attention to the black sword. However, since this black sword was used by the true disciple of Wuhan University, it naturally had an extraordinary origin.

It is actually made from a piece of black jade. Special techniques and Taoism are used to add star steel to the black jade. The star steel is used as the bone and the black jade is used as the flesh to create this assassination sword. This sword Not only are the materials rare, but the grade is as high as prefecture-level.

If you can easily take out such a sword, you will naturally be a high-profile guest.

"Sir, please come this way. The box upstairs has been prepared for you!" The manager carefully inspected the black sword, then showed a smile, bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Mu nodded and followed the manager upstairs.

Auction houses are open for business to make money. In order to make money, customers naturally differentiate themselves. Those sitting at the back of the hall are ordinary customers. They have few valuable things and can only auction a few small things of little value. They Mainly used to gather people and liven up the atmosphere.

The farther forward the auction hall is, the higher the net worth of the guests sitting there. They are usually high-rollers who have come to the City of Chaos, or some prominent figures.

The real big shots and high-rollers all sit in the private rooms on the second floor. Those who can sit in the private rooms are either children of aristocratic families in the City of Chaos or powerful figures. These people do not need to verify capital at all, and their seats have been arranged long ago. , and some of the remaining private rooms are reserved for wealthy wealthy guests.

Li Mu wielded a black jade gold sword as soon as he made his move. Naturally, he was considered a big luxury customer, so he was directly assigned a box by the manager. However, the location of the box was average. If he wanted to get the best box, he not only had to be rich, but also You must have strength and status.

Li Mu didn't care whether he could sit in the box or not, but since it was arranged, it would be useless if he didn't sit.

"Sir, this is your Dongju Hall. If you need anything, you can ring the bell and call me. I'll be at the door!" The beauty in cheongsam, whose appearance is obviously a higher level and her body is much hotter, said respectfully. .

There are such waitresses outside every private room, and they can also provide any service. Of course, there will inevitably be extra money, which is called service charge.

"Okay, go out!" Li Mu nodded and said casually.

"Okay, sir!" A trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the beauty in cheongsam who deliberately puffed up her chest to make her figure look fuller. Li Mu had a strong aura, a master level, and a gold, jade and black sword. He was obviously rich. In addition, He is a young hero, and it would be great luck to be noticed by such a young hero.

Maybe he could be taken away from the city of chaos soon, settle in a certain fortress, and live a life of fine clothes and fine food. It would be much better than becoming the plaything of some bad old man.

The beauty in the cheongsam looked disappointed. She closed the door carefully and stood at the door of the private room. Even if she wasn't noticed, she still had to serve her carefully. After all, she could still get commission.

This box is equipped with tea tables, leather sofas, cigarettes, wine, rare fruits, and even delicious food if needed. There is also a high-end water dispenser in the corner of the box, which looks almost as big as the world. It's the same as before, nothing has changed.

But there is a world inside the box, and there is another world outside the box. In that world, there are all kinds of weird-looking people, and there are even people with a lizard-like tail trailing behind their buttocks, sitting swaggering in the auction hall.

Li Mu sat on the leather sofa, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes. From the moment the spiritual energy was revived, nothing could go back.
