340: Golden Rooster Museum
That evening.
Xiao Yun and Liu Shihhan first followed Lu Xueqing to a popular hot pot restaurant she had been following for a long time, where they tasted the distinctive copper pot shabu-shabu of the north.
Afterward, Xiao Yun planned to visit other Restricted Areas in Jinghai City to see how they differed from those in other places.
Liu Shihhan and Lu Xueqing went shopping together at the mall, saying they planned to buy Lu Xueqing several more outfits.
Just as Xiao Yun hailed a taxi, preparing to head to a Bakshesh Restricted Area, his phone suddenly rang.
He opened it and saw that although it was an unknown number, the caller ID showed that the number's origin was from Lighthouse Country.
"Hello?"
"Xiao Yun, it's me, General Examiner George."
The voice of the old man from Lighthouse Country came from the other end of the phone. Although his Chinese pronunciation was clear, his accent sounded somewhat comical.
However, Xiao Yun was a bit puzzled.
It was just past six in the evening. Why was George calling him at this time?
"What's wrong?"
"Xiao Yun, there's a great opportunity tonight. The top-tier materials you obtained from the Restricted Area are at the Golden Rooster Museum. I hope you can attend."
"You mean there's going to be an auction of Restricted Area materials at the Golden Rooster Museum tonight?"
Hearing George's words, Xiao Yun took a moment to understand what he was trying to say.
It had to be said that even though this foreigner could speak Chinese, his way of expressing himself was different from ordinary people, making it difficult to understand his meaning.
"Yes, yes, that's right."
"But for an auction house of this level, you can't just put things up for auction, can you? You probably need to register as a member or something, and pay a deposit, right?"
"You don't have to worry about that; we will take care of it for you. This auction will have top business figures from various countries, so you must not miss this opportunity!"
"Alright, then what time does the auction start?"
"At seven in the evening."
"What? Seven?"
Hearing this time, Xiao Yun suddenly felt a bit anxious.
It was already half past six. The auction was going to start at seven. Would he even make it in time?
"We just got the news ourselves, but it's okay, even if you're late, it's fine. This auction will only end at 10 PM, so it's fine if you arrive before 8 PM."
"Alright."
Xiao Yun sighed helplessly and agreed to it.
He hadn't expected that George from Lighthouse Country would tell him about such a good opportunity.
Today, he had indeed brought out a pile of big red quality materials from the Restricted Area, and to quickly process these items into cash, this auction was the best opportunity.
As for George, Xiao Yun didn't exactly have a good impression of him, but he didn't dislike him either.
After all, when He Yan was apprehending the two spies from South Korea and Sakura Country, George merely stood by and watched the show, not saying a word, leaving the conflicts between countries for them to handle themselves. He seemed relatively reasonable.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yun directly asked the taxi driver to change the destination.
......
Jinghai City, Golden Rooster Museum.
This is one of the seven special-grade Restricted Area Museums in Long Nation. It is usually closed for maintenance most of the time, only opening to the public on rare occasions.
As a Restricted Area Museum, it primarily displays valuable big red quality materials from within the Restricted Area, and each of the seven special-grade Museums has different treasures of the Museum.
It is said that the treasure of this Golden Rooster Museum is a blade server that a team acquired from Dam No. 0 about a hundred years ago, when the Restricted Area first appeared in the real world.
One must know that even with the current global technological development, this blade server, if placed in reality, is a product that surpasses the current level of technology.
And with Long Nation's technological level over a hundred years ago, the shock it brought to people when they obtained this material from the Restricted Area was simply inexpressible!
However, the specific scene from back then is now unknown to anyone.
Now, one can only infer the scene of scientists researching it from the rusty blade server.
"Oh! Xiao Yun, you're finally here."
As soon as Xiao Yun arrived at the Museum entrance, he saw George and three other people, also from Lighthouse Country, standing at the door.
And seeing one of them, Xiao Yun immediately felt a sense of familiarity.
After a while, he remembered that he seemed to have seen this person on the Forbes Rich List.
Vanderbilt, reportedly the current heir to the Morgan Group, controls over forty percent of Lighthouse Country's transportation industry, and their group even has transportation projects globally.
As for the other two, although Xiao Yun couldn't tell their identities, seeing them chatting and laughing with Vanderbilt, he estimated they were also big shots from some group in Lighthouse Country.
Besides that.
Xiao Yun turned his head to look inside the Museum, and there were even many familiar domestic entrepreneurs, some of whom were household names, the kind most people would recognize.
Xiao Yun never expected that by being invited to an auction, he would get to meet so many business magnates.
"Oh! This is Xiao, Yun, a pleasure to meet you."
Upon seeing Xiao Yun, Vanderbilt also smiled at him.
"Who is he?"
"He is the future star of GTI, the guy who can bring out tens of millions of dragon country currency worth of materials from a single Restricted Area."
"He's actually that young? Truly young and promising."
"So it's him! I've heard of him, heard of him."
"Isn't he the important guest we've been waiting for!"
After Vanderbilt's introduction, the two people who had initially seemed indifferent immediately started to get friendly with Xiao Yun.
And the friendliness of the three also dispelled Xiao Yun's doubts.
He had originally wondered if these particularly rich entrepreneurs would be even more abnormal than each other, but now it seemed they were very amiable and no different from ordinary people.
"Xiao Yun, as you can see, there's a lot of money in this auction tonight, so you must cherish this opportunity."
"Okay, anyway, just sell the big red."
Xiao Yun said with a faint smile.
For this auction, he had also specially prepared two big red envelopes.
In addition to the big red materials he acquired today, Xiao Yun also secretly stuffed some materials he had previously acquired into them.
Since this auction was a rare opportunity, he also planned to sell as much as possible there.
"So, when do we enter?"
Seeing that the few of them had been standing at the entrance for a long time without any intention of going in, Xiao Yun urged them.
"No rush, no rush, Xiao Yun, actually we have a small request."
George said, looking at Xiao Yun and the two big red envelopes he was carrying with an ingratiating smile.
"My friends here are also very interested in the big red materials from the Restricted Area. How about you all chat a bit later?"
