Chapter 1189: Chapter 1188: New Choices

”Lin Zai answered truthfully. The girl smiled, ”Yes, I see that you didn’t know, this flower can float towards the place where the purple gold stone is, Mr. Purple Gold Stone always knows, doesn’t he?” ”Of course Purple Gold Stone knows, but...” Lin Zai suddenly remembered that just now the flower was heading towards him, and if so many people saw the flower heading towards him, wouldn’t that mean telling everyone he had purple gold stone? Lin Zai suddenly felt that it was a mistake to place a lot of purple gold stones in the Jiezhi Bracelet in a place where purple gold stones were so precious.

”Thank you, I don’t know what would have happened if you hadn’t called out to me earlier.” Lin Zai felt that this girl was really beautiful and kind-hearted.

No problem. So, sir, what do you have that you could exchange for my flower?” The girl smiled playfully. Lin Zai was stunned; he thought the girl mentioned exchanging was just to brush off those people, but it turned out she really wanted to exchange? But he wasn’t even showing something he wanted to exchange, and he didn’t want to exchange for that flower either.

Alright, sir, just kidding, what I said earlier was to protect you. I know you probably don’t need this flower. I wasn’t intending to sell it.” The girl said as she saw Lin Zai’s hesitant expression.

Lin Zai reached into his pocket, took out a Brain Needle, and handed it to the girl, saying, ”Here, it has a hundred square meters of space inside, you can place whatever you want in it, and take it out with a thought.”

Lin Zai wanted to give this kind girl a gift.

”This? Is it called a Jiezhi...” The girl furrowed her brow, recalling the name of the Jiezhi Needle.

”Yes, it’s a Jiezhi Needle. You know it?” Lin Zai thought that this planet hadn’t developed Jiezhi materials yet.

No, no, I heard yesterday that someone at the hotel ahead used a Jiezhi Ring as a pawn for room fees, I went to see that Jiezhi Ring. I thought this was similar in material and function, so I guessed.” The girl said.

Alright, how did everyone know about pawning the Jiezhi Ring for room fees and make it such a big deal?” Lin Zai thought, slightly blushing. ”It’s probably something like that.” Lin Zai didn’t want to admit that it was he who used the Jiezhi Ring for room fees.

Hey! Lin, you’re here,” Zhao Shuai approached Lin Zai with a man, ”Oh, who is this? Wow, haven’t seen such a pretty girl in a while.” Zhao Shuai went directly to the girl in red, ”I’m Zhao Shuai, may I know your name?” Zhao Shuai extended his hand, ”Wu.” The girl in red nodded symbolically, not shaking hands with Zhao Shuai, ”Ah, haha, Miss Wu.” Zhao Shuai awkwardly retracted his hand. ”Zhao Shuai, you haven’t introduced the amazing friend you mentioned to me,” said the man beside Zhao Shuai, and only then did Lin Zai look at him. The man was tall, handsome, and his constant smile made people feel good about him. ”Oh, right, see, I forgot right away. This is Lin Zai, Lin!” Zhao Shuai introduced Lin Zai to the man, ”So it’s Lin Zai, I’m Qi Rongfeng, nice to meet you.” The man extended his hand, ”I’m Lin Zai.” Lin Zai shook hands with Qi Rongfeng. ”Alright, alright, Lin, Rongfeng, no need to be polite. From now on, you’re friends, okay.” Zhao Shuai said with a laugh, ”I say, Lin, are you here because of this beautiful lady, haha.” Zhao Shuai winked, ”No, just passing by.” Lin Zai said.

”But this is an Arctic Flower, right? The flower that allegedly floats to where the purple gold stone is.” Qi Rongfeng looked at the flower in Wu’s hand, ”Yes,” Wu Shan said, ”Are you thinking of getting the flower, Lin?” Zhao Shuai said, ”No, Mr. Lin is just here to look at the flower,” Wu Fen smiled at Lin Zai and said. ”Alright, then, I feel like you guys are hiding something from me.”

”Zhao Shuai said with a mysterious smile on his face looking at Wu, ”But, Lin, I just saw something over there that’s really good, no wonder Rongfeng is here as well. Let’s go, I’ll show you, you’ll definitely be interested.” Zhao Shuai was about to drag Lin Zai away, but Wu Shan said, ”Mr. Lin, you’ve given me such a precious gift, how can I accept it for free?

But I don’t have anything else of equal value, so I’ll give you this Arctic Flower as an exchange, hopefully letting me make you my friend.” Lin Zai paused for a moment, thought a little and agreed, after all, Wu Fen gave a pretty good impression of herself.

Wu Shan smiled happily seeing Lin Zai agree. Lin Zai took out his Jiezhi to store the flower, and at this moment Qi Rongfeng was extremely surprised, saying, ”So Lin is the owner of that Jiezhi Ring, today being able to befriend Lin is truly an honor for me.”

Just so happens, today is the once-every-three-years high-tech auction, why don’t we go and have a look together?” Lin Zai heard Qi Rongfeng’s words and was immediately excited, thinking, ”Even though the research products here can’t yet match what I’ve developed myself, I might find something here I’ve never seen before.”

With these thoughts, Lin Zai agreed. Meanwhile, Wu Shi said, ”I’m also here mainly for this auction, why don’t the four of us go together.” ”Sure, beautiful lady, no problem, you can sit next to me later, I’m familiar here, and I can explain things for you,” Zhao Shuai said eagerly, grinning. Wu Mu furrowed her brows, and at this moment Lin Zai said, ”Alright, enough trouble, let’s get going, don’t be late.”

The four of them headed to the hallway staircase, went up to the second floor, where a large door came into view along with a bar next to it, where a skinny old man was leaning against the bar; only his upper body was visible. He wore glasses; his eyebrows, hair, and beard were all white. He asked, addressing the four of them, ”Are the four of you little ones here for the auction too? Then show me your ’certificates’.” At this, Zhao Shuai took out the black pen again, and the old man’s expression immediately changed from lazy to surprised. He quickly took out a small metal box, placed the pen inside, and a few seconds later, the box emitted a soft blue light. The old man returned the pen and respectfully said, ”Dear guests, your seats are in rows abcd, here are your number plates, please keep them well.” While speaking, the old man took out four small number tags, each labeled abcd. As they were about to take their seats, Zhao Shuai quickly took the spot next to Wu Shan, with Qi Rongfeng beside Zhao Shuai, and Lin Zai sitting on the far end. ”Do the auction items on the second floor differ from the items on the first floor in any way?” Lin Zai asked, ”The first floor shows the most common aspects of the Dark Cosmos, where many researchers, like Miss Wu Shan, come to trade certain items. However, the second floor is the place where auctions are held, with many rare raw materials up for auction, making it very lively and attracting many scientists to come and buy materials for research.” Qi Rongfeng explained to Lin Zai in detail. ”I see.”

Lin Zai felt that although Kai Ao Star hadn’t discovered the technology he wanted, buying some raw materials to take back and conduct his own research was also a good choice.
