Bone King's Universal Grocery

Chapter 47 Opening of the Auction

Just as the Kingdom of God was worrying about how to appease the capitalists behind the slave traders, preparations for the City of Liberty Auction also came to an end.

As an official of Liberty City, Mingyue is also very busy these days. After sending Misha to school every morning, she has to rush to the City Lord's Mansion to start a day's work, and she can't come back until late at night.

In comparison, Li Hong was much more relaxed. The grocery store was busy all morning, and occasionally customers came during the day, but they just walked around and didn't buy anything.

But today the grocery store is much more lively than before, because a group of former regular customers came to visit, they are members of the Cheshire Cat mercenary group.

There were five people who came to Li Hong's shop. The first two were the swordsman Rose and the mage Linda who exchanged the 7th-level wood-type magic crystal with Li Hong before, and the three behind them were Li Hong. acknoledged.

Li Hong released his mental power to scan the three unknown people, and found that their soul levels, like Ross and Linda, were all yellow.

'Five swordsmen and magicians above level six? ’ Li Hongru thought.

"Boss, long time no see!"

Rose's greeting interrupted Li Hong's thoughts, and Li Hong stepped forward and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Rose, Miss Linda."

"I've already said hello, let's get straight to the point! Xiaojing, come here."

A black-haired girl behind Ross immediately stepped forward upon hearing this.

"Boss, this is the girl rescued by your wood-type magic crystal. Her name is Chen Jing, and she is from the Fairy Continent. Xiao Jing, please thank the boss!"

Chen Jing nodded, then suddenly knelt down on one knee and said very seriously: "Chen Jing will never forget the boss's life-saving grace. If the boss needs any help, please ask."

From speaking to thanking Chen Jing, it was very similar to a scene in a TV series, which made Li Hong feel extremely embarrassed. He used his mental strength to help Chen Jing up, and then said: "I said this before, Everyone gets what they need, no one owes anyone else, you don’t need to do this.”

However, Rose was more stubborn than Li Hong thought, and did not listen to Li Hong's words, but Li Hong had no choice but to agree first, and promised that he would go to the Cheshire Cat Mercenary Group if he needed anything.

Seeing that Li Hong agreed to come down, Ross immediately offered to leave, claiming that they still had things to do, and Li Hong didn't hold back and watched them leave.

But what Li Hong didn't expect was that the next day, everyone from the Cheshire Cat Adventure Group came again, but this time there were three people.

"Mr. Ross, what's the matter with you?" Li Hong asked.

"It's nothing, just to tell you, we have found a place nearby, and the boss can come and sit if he is free."

Li Hong's face was a little strange when he heard this: "Why do you think you want to live here? It can't be because of me, right?"

"Of course not, boss, you misunderstood. There are two main reasons for us to live here. One is because the auction will be held in two days. We want to participate in the auction, and it is more convenient to live in the city.

The second is that two of my companions fell under some kind of strange curse while carrying out the task. Now one has lost hearing and the other has lost sight. We asked for a long time before we found out that there is a senior from the Association of Magicians in the north of the city who is good at breaking curses , That's why I live nearby so I can find him easily. "

"Oh, so that's the case, then I wish your companion a speedy recovery."

"Well, thanks to the boss's auspicious words, let's take our leave first." After speaking, Ross took Linda and Chen Jing and left the grocery store.

In the evening, Li Hong went out to Liberty College to pick up Mi Xia from school. When he returned to the grocery store, Li Hong saw that the door was open.

He used his energy to scan the small building, and found that Mingyue had returned, and he was preparing dinner for Misha in the kitchen!

"Brother, is there someone at our house?" Misha also noticed that the door of the grocery store was open, and asked curiously.

"It's your aunt. She doesn't know why she came back so early today."

"So it's my aunt! I'll go find her." After speaking, Misha pushed open the door of the grocery store and jumped up to the second floor.

Looking at Mi Xia's back, Li Hong felt a sense of relief. Recently, with Ming Yue by Mi Xia's side, Li Hong could clearly feel Mi Xia's change. His smile was much brighter than before, and his personality was more lively. It should have come out of the pain of losing his mother.

During dinner, Li Hong and Mingyue talked about the Cheshire cat mercenary group.

"You said the Cheshire Cat Mercenary Group, I know them, they are one of the few second-level mercenary groups in Liberty City, and they have a good reputation.

The leader Ross is a level 7 great swordsman, the deputy leader Linda is a level 7 water magician, and the three captains under him also have level 6 strength. "

"Level [-] mercenary regiment? Do mercenary regiments still have levels?" Li Hong asked.

"Well, the lowest level of the mercenary group is five, and the highest is level one. I have to ask the Adventurer's Association about the specific evaluation method, and I can't remember."

"Um, that"

Before Li Hong could say anything, Ming Yue interrupted: "Okay, okay, Li Hong, don't ask, I'm not an encyclopedia, if you want to know, please go to the library and look it up."

Li Hong was speechless for a while when he heard the words: "Please, miss, you should listen to what I'm asking! I just wanted to ask you, why did you come back so early today? Work is over?"

Hearing Li Hong's words, Mingyue's expression was a little weird. She cast a glance at Li Hong and asked back: "Why do you care about me so much? Are you trying to plot something wrong?"

"Sorry, I'm not interested in women in their 40s." Li Hong replied disdainfully.

"Hehe! You really want to be interested, you are a broken bone, you can only watch as I lie naked in front of you."

Mingyue's words hit Li Hong's sore spot. Mingyue's words were correct. For Li Hong, talking about anything now was nothing but nonsense, so this verbal battle that hadn't started ended with Mingyue's complete victory.

Mingyue still told Li Hong and Mi Xia about her recent situation after Naogui made trouble.

Li Hong learned from Mingyue that all the preparations for the Liberty City Auction have been completed, and the opening will now be the day after tomorrow.

Li Hong has great hopes for this auction. He has been planning to buy a few more materials he needs in the auction, so as to reshape his body as soon as possible and retrieve his lost little brother.

After learning that Li Hong was going to participate in the auction, Mingyue became interested in Li Hong's assets. She was very curious about how much Li Hong wanted and whether she could afford the materials he wanted.

On the other hand, Li Hong chose to ignore Mingyue's curiosity. Anyway, a lot of assets in his storage ring belonged to Liberty City. is about to be deported.

In this way, the time passed quickly. Two days later, under the eyes of everyone, the auction in Liberty City officially opened.
