Chapter 953 Liu Xiaoxiao's One Day
Chapter 953 Liu Xiaoxiao's One Day
On the morning of the nineteenth day, Liu Xiaoxiao arrived at the Shrek Auction House before the auction began.
Relatively speaking, today's auction is not so valued because today is an auction of luxury goods and artworks.
Despite this, there are still many excellent items, such as Yu Tianming's paintings.
At present, the only thing preventing his paintings from becoming world-famous may be the fact that he is still alive.
Of course, the price of a painting is often not linked to the quality of the painting itself. A very bad painting may be a rare work of art in the eyes of some people.
Liu Xiaoxiao flipped through the auctioned items. Although there were some gold and jewelry on them, the quantity was not large, and most of them were made of very precious gems. After all, even for luxury items, only a few could cost over 100 million yuan. Even luxury yachts mostly cost only tens of millions of federal coins.
Even for those so-called upper-class people, having such a thing is enough to serve as a symbol of their wealth. After all, even among the upper-class people, only a few have assets worth over 100 million federal currencies.
It is not realistic to expect such a thing to be sold at a sky-high price like a divine artifact.
Relatively speaking, artworks are more valuable. It is not surprising that some famous paintings and stone sculptures passed down from ancient times are sold at prices comparable to those of sacred artifacts. In history, there are more than a hundred artworks worth over 10 billion yuan.
The price of a work of art often does not depend on the quality and reputation of the work itself. The identity of the collector and the status of the auction house will affect the price of the work itself.
However, the auction of artworks will be held in the evening, which is something of a tradition.
While this clone was participating in the auction, another clone of Liu Xiaoxiao was participating in the rematch of the Fighting Spirit Cards.
Compared to chess, cards are more interesting and require more luck.
Martial Soul Cards, Soul Ring Cards, Soul Spirit Cards, Soul Guide Cards, Soul Skill Cards, Element Cards, Domain Cards, each card has its own function, and it is not easy to play Fighting Soul Cards well, but because of its low entry difficulty and greater fun, there are quite a lot of people in the entire Douluo Federation and even in the other two continents who like to play Fighting Soul Cards.
This time, the number of people participating in the Fighting Spirit Card Federation Challenge reached 35,000, setting a historical record in thousands of years.
Liu Xiaoxiao's opponent this time is Han Ming of Golden Dawn. Han Ming also likes this kind of game that requires brainpower. This kind of game is also of great benefit to the training of spiritual soul masters.
However, even Han Ming could not defeat Liu Xiaoxiao in this fighting spirit card competition.
Liu Xiaoxiao naturally would not cheat by looking at his opponent's cards. When the chess and card game reaches a certain level, the competition is about calculation ability, and the level of spiritual awareness determines this to a large extent.
However, there is still an element of luck in fighting spirit cards. Up to now, Liu Xiaoxiao has not had a perfect record. Fortunately, he did not advance to the next round with a perfect record either, so there is always room for mediation.
While thinking, Liu Xiaoxiao played a soul card - the Centaur of Good and Evil.
On the other side, at the God of Cooking competition, sixty-four of the world's top chefs gathered together and started a two-on-two rematch.
In the field of chefs, only those who reach level ten or above can be called God Chefs. And in the history of the Chefs Association, there are only two God Chefs at level 12. One is the head chef who has been in charge of the time-honored Yuhao Grilled Fish for many years, and the other is a gourmet who has just emerged in recent years.
——As for a certain main body leader, he himself does not belong to the Chefs Association.
There were five judges in total for the competition, including Liu Xiaoxiao, a certain leader of the Sea God Pavilion who had previously won the big eater challenge, and the fattest of the Shrek Seven Devils.
As for the big foodie from the Body Sect, what he needs is enough meat. He doesn’t care too much about the taste, and he also has to avoid suspicion.
The reason why we chose these guys who can eat a lot as judges is very simple. Even if the first round of the preliminary competition is held over eight days, the sixty-four chefs will have to eat eight meals. How can they be judges without some digestive ability?
Liu Xiaoxiao looked forward. The first match of the rematch was a heavyweight showdown between a level ten chef and the Demon Chef.
The topic of the competition is the dragon lizard, which is a kind of earth dragon animal, not a soul beast, but it takes ten years to breed it before its tendons and marrow can be extracted. Its meat is delicious and is a great tonic.
Cooking with rare ingredients is a special test of the chef's skills.
At this moment, the venue was filled with fragrance, and many spectators' eyes widened, including those watching online, their stomachs growling.
——Although the online ordering function has been opened in Star Wars Network, in order to reduce the impact on prices related to the catering industry in the real world, and to recover research and development costs, even virtual meals require federal coins, but the prices are slightly lower than those in the real world.
However, in order to promote Star Battle Network, they specially opened the catering synchronization function for this Chef God Contest. Once the dishes in the Chef God Contest are completed, people in the simulated world can spend a lot of federal coins to buy this priceless food, and they can even get a buffet of drinks for free. Anyway, they are all virtual and there is no cost.
At noon, Liu Xiaoxiao's real body came to the main building of the villa and met Chen Long and Yi Li who were watching the soul guide TV animation there.
"The game is in the afternoon, and you're still so leisurely." Liu Xiaoxiao sat down on the sofa and said casually.
Chen Long glanced at him and did not pick up his topic. He said, "How are the arrangements at the Spirit Pagoda going?"
"I've already convinced them to advance the selection of the Nine Heavenly Spirits. The selection will be held after the youth group competition is over. Currently, eight teams are planned to compete, and related publicity work will begin tomorrow." Liu Xiaoxiao said, lying on the sofa.
"How is your apprentices' team doing?" Chen Long looked at Liu Xiaoxiao, "I think He Qiang seems to be very confident."
"Let them be confident. At least I am sure that they will not suffer a crushing defeat." Liu Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes.
"..." Chen Long was a little speechless.
In the afternoon, Liu Xiaoxiao entered the box through his distraction in the Star Battle Network and watched the game.
Chen Long's Sage Team and the Tiandou Empire's Swan Knights Team had a not-so-intense competition. To be honest, there was nothing to watch in this game.
The so-called Swan Knights are actually named after the Tiandou Royal Knights. The Tiandou Royal Knights are also known as the Swan Knights. It is said that they were named to commemorate the former royal martial spirit, the Swan. However, over the past ten thousand years, the royal martial spirits have basically been the Black Tortoise, and the Swan martial spirit has only appeared a few times. In a sense, that was already a previous dynasty.
There are only three god-level teams from the Tiandou Empire this time. One is composed of royal officials, including Ling Lixuan, the leader of the Knights, and Yu Haoqiong, the Grand Duke of Lan Dian, as well as some new god-level powerhouses who were once royal servants.
The other two branches are composed of the great families, nobles and civilian forces of the Tiandou Empire. The former includes powerful families like Long Yuan, and the latter includes human legends like Epiphyllum Douluo and Scarlet Sky Douluo.
Of course, there are still some powerful people in the Tiandou Empire who did not join these teams, such as some who joined the Golden Dawn team.
However, no matter which team it is, they will have no chance of winning against the Sages' League.
The only teams that can compete with them are probably the Rong family and the Zhou family.
During the forty-day competition, there is a game in both the winner group and the loser group every day. Of course, the god-level group game is displayed as a hot spot, and in addition to these two games, there are naturally many other games to fill the gap, such as the god-level group's individual competition, doubles competition, mecha competition, and other groups' competitions.
Among the many competitions, Liu Xiaoxiao was most concerned about the junior group competition.
Unlike the Federation Competition, the Ten Sages Competition was participated by students from Shrek Academy, including his eight new disciples, who took turns to compete.
With the strength of the Shrek Academy students, they overcame all obstacles in the preliminary round and entered the round-robin tournament smoothly.
When it came to the round-robin stage, even they had to be cautious, because their opponent today was also a student from Shrek Academy.
In the youth category, another group of his students also participated in the competition, but there was no competition for them today.
Liu Xiaoxiao was watching the game while licking his ice cream.
Even though they were all students of Shrek Academy and their strengths when they entered school were not much different, after his teaching over the past few days and the supply of some medicinal pills, his disciples had already opened up a certain gap with other students. Although it would still be difficult to win, they would definitely be the winner.
At night, Liu Xiaoxiao came to the Shrek Stadium. During the Ten Sages Soul Master Forum, a music festival was held here in the evening. It was mainly led by the Tianyin Group and major music associations. There were instrumental performances, band performances, and personal concerts. In short, the popularity was high. The seats here were full every night, and there were even some bigwigs with high status.
"Tianyin Valley is indeed a sect that specializes in music. They are truly amazing in the art of music." Liu Xiaoxiao exclaimed.
The way of music is closely related to emotional changes. Music is something that can touch people's emotions. If the two are combined, it will definitely produce miraculous effects.
In other dimensions, there is the power to achieve god-kinghood and create the divine world through music.
As the night deepened, Liu Xiaoxiao returned to the Shrek Auction House again.
The night always has a certain charm, mysterious, unknown, and addictive, which also makes the works of artists seem more attractive.
The art auction is also completely different from previous auctions. The auction venue has been specially adjusted to allow all bidders to see the artworks in person, rather than just seeing introductions as in previous auctions.
The value of works of art is often higher than that of luxury goods. Even the most expensive pocket watch cannot cost more than 100 million federal coins. However, billions or even tens of billions seem to be commonplace in the field of art.
However, Liu Xiaoxiao had no interest in buying. They were only responsible for providing the auction items today, such as antique artworks from ten thousand or even twenty thousand years ago.
Bidders at night are more excited than during the day. Even some paintings that look no better than children's doodles mixed in with high-end artworks are marked with extremely high prices and even sold successfully just because of the so-called expert appraisal and analysis, the reputation guarantee of the auction house and the fame of the painter.
Sometimes, Liu Xiaoxiao felt that he could just paint two paintings and sell them for billions with some manipulation.
The final main item was Li Hong's jade carving of the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King. This giant jade carving, weighing hundreds of tons, vividly restored the spirit of the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian. The raw jade used was also quite expensive. In the end, it was sold at a sky-high price of 60 billion federal coins, which made people speechless.
After the auction, Liu Xiaoxiao strolled through Shrek City late at night, feeling the quaint buildings and seeing the tall buildings in the distance. He couldn't help feeling like he was in a dream.
Such a world was an ideal for him in the past, but now he understands that this is far from enough.
The situation of foreign enemies spying and lingering conspiracies has not yet collapsed, and longer-term worries hang over his mind, that is the curse of a hundred-year limit and ten thousand years of reincarnation.
——We must exist forever in this world, and we must protect this world.
He made up his mind silently.
