Chapter 34: What Happened in Youkexin City
Germain did not stay in the Opera Hotel for long. The day after March left, he checked out under the reluctant gaze of the receptionist.
He transferred the money to Machi and received a reply from Machi confirming that the 20 million yuan had been received.
That evening, he left the city on an airship. After several hours of sailing, he arrived at the famous city of Youkexin in the early morning.
Every September, Youkexin City holds the world's largest auction. At that time, the whole city will be bustling with people from both the black and white worlds.
In particular, the underground auctions organized by the world's mafia leaders, the "Ten Old Men", release a large number of rare treasures every year, attracting high-ranking gangsters and celebrities.
There are many auction items, including human organs, Warcraft corpses, technological products, etc.
This also brought disaster to the underground auction. Although the gang security was very tight, it still could not stop the bloody killing and looting that the Phantom Troupe would carry out next year.
In other months, the overt and covert auctions in Youkexin City never stopped, but the scale was not as grand as that in September.
German arrived in Youxin City on January 1. After a short rest, he did not go to any auction house, but instead found the largest church in the city.
The old priest was amazed to see the young man in a black hunter's robe meditating in the cloister, praying in the transept, and being whipped in the penitential hall.
"I have never seen anyone confess so many times at one time... He must have sinned deeply, but because of the Heavenly Father he turned from his evil ways and is now a believer full of faith!"
The old priest hurried forward, holding the Bible in his hand, and stopped German.
"Sir, may I have a moment of your time? I would like to tell you about our Heavenly Father and Savior..."
"Ah, no, thank you."
However, to the old priest's great disappointment, Germain decisively rejected his kindness and left the church.
The old priest stared at his back in confusion and surprise as he disappeared around the corner of the gate, not understanding what had gone wrong.
German walked on the streets of Youksin City, stroking the remaining whipping scars on his body with his fingers, and sighed softly with regret.
"Is it really not working? Is it because I don't have true faith in God and pray sincerely? The 'pressure' has not been reduced at all. Instead, the wounds that were almost healed have been bruised a few more times."
This was the first "stress relief method" he tried, but it ended in complete failure.
However, this was the beginning, and German did not give up easily.
So, German tried the second "stress relief method".
Soon after, the old-fashioned bar in Youkexin City was filled with the clinking of glasses and the bustling noise of people.
German sat at the long bar, drank the drink in one gulp, then put it on the table and pushed it to the bald bartender.
"Sir, would you like another drink?" the bald bartender asked tentatively.
"No thanks," Germain replied sullenly; he had drunk enough.
At this moment, the woman who had been posing for a long time couldn't help but come over, licked her lips, and scratched the back of German's hand teasingly with her long nails painted with red nail polish.
"Don't be unhappy... If you have any troubles, you can talk to me... How about this, I'll buy you another drink, but we have to go to a different place, how about that?"
The woman stared at Germain's profile with a seductive look, waiting for his reaction.
Germain did have troubles.
He had tried gambling in the casino and drinking at the bar, but the "pressure" of 60 points did not change even to a single digit.
Germain turned his head to look at the fragrant woman who was about to stick to him, and couldn't help thinking in his mind:
"Do I have these two "qualities" of being "passionate" and "lecherous"? Do I have to go this far?"
When the woman's fingers were already touching his body, he finally resisted it both physically and mentally at the last moment and pushed the woman away.
"You..." The woman looked at him in surprise.
German stood up and looked the woman in the eye calmly. "Forget it. If I get syphilis or gonorrhea, it will be very troublesome. Right now I need a healthier body."
The bald bartender was originally mixing cocktails, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned dark.
She immediately pointed at German and started cursing.
No matter how handsome Germain was, no matter how he said such words, she could not easily forgive Germain unless Germain begged her humbly with actions.
However, German had no intention of apologizing. Amid the surprised and amused gazes of everyone in the bar, he left the place, abandoning the furious woman.
As soon as he walked out of the bar, German could feel that the inside and outside of the door were like two different worlds.
The noise inside the bar was so loud that it seemed like the roof was about to blow off, but it was much quieter outside the bar.
Germain began to walk and came to a large square.
He tried all the simplest "stress relief methods" he could think of, except the last one, but to no avail.
In this case, German has to try the third possibility.
He sat on the edge of a fountain in the center of the square, took out his cell phone, found the contact "Little Mother-in-law", and sent a text message.
"Have you received the "Color-changing Stone of the Red Bug"? "
"I need your 'Magic Beautician Miss Cookie'."
German waited by the fountain for about ten minutes, and kept eye contact with the pigeons on the ground for a while before he received a reply from Biscuit.
"I've already told you that your regards and concern are too perfunctory (angry face)! However, I've received the 'gem' and I like it very much (smiling face)."
"You actually know my "psychic ability". It seems that you have investigated my information a lot. How scary! Are you planning something bad to me? (scared face)?"
"I asked you to get a hunter's license and gave you a hunter-only website, but I didn't ask you to do something like exploring girls' secrets (sighing face)."
Biscuit's trademark mischievous teasing. At least German was sure that it was Biscuit on the other end of the phone.
"I want to try out the abilities of 'Magic Beautician Miss Cookie'." Germain typed a line of words, thought for a moment, and added, "I will give you a corresponding reward."
"Really? My price is very high (greedy face)."
"How many?"
"Well... since we're acquaintances, I'll give you 20,000 for each time."
Twenty thousand yuan for a nun?
The total cost of Machi's "Through Suture" was 20 million yuan. In comparison, Biscuit's offer was very cheap.
German didn't complain. He didn't have much money left in his bank account, but it was enough to pay the twenty thousand dollars.
Besides, he came to Youksin City specifically to find the underground auction house here, intending to sell the "One-Eyed Lord of Crows" to the gang and make a lot of money.
So, German agreed.
"Sure. I'm in Youkexin City. When can you expect to arrive?"
Thanks for the reward from Anxishi
