The First Interstellar Energy Gambler

Chapter 60: Hidden Bidding

As there were many people around, Lin Luo lowered his head to hide his expression, then secretly wrote down his bid for the piece of carbonized jadeite before he pulled Xing Mo towards the other side.

The quality of the jadeite in the hidden bid area was indeed very good. Later, Lin Luo found a few more pieces of jadeite that would win a big increase, but there began to be more and more people in the hidden bid area. Some people gradually begun to notice Lin Luo as he had become very popular recently. Some people even started to follow them, not to talk but to simply stalk them and watch their every move from a distance. When followed, Lin Luo would only glance at the different jadeite evenly, and would only step forward to observe the pieces more closely or fill out his bid sheet when they left.

Lin Luo quickly became overwhelmed, so he could only hastily end his bidding.

On the way back to the hotel though, it was still not very peaceful. There were constantly people trying to talk to Lin Luo, and he had to continuously avoid them. Lin Luo was really annoyed by those people.

“You can always become a beast. If I carry you away they won’t find you.” Xing Mo said to Lin Luo with a light smile.

Lin Luo’s eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he nodded like smashing garlic and agreed, “Okay, okay!”

The two found an alley, and Lin Luo surreptitiously transformed back into his beast shape.

A little fluffy head emerged from the clothes that fell on the ground, and gave a soft cry at Xing Mo.

Xing Mo squatted down, and Lin Luo hastily jumped up from the ground, climbed onto Xing Mo’s body, and got into his neckline. Once there he held himself in place with two small claws so that only his small head was left poking out.

Xing Mo bemusedly nudged his soft head with his chin, “You’re still too conspicuous like this. Why don’t you just sit in my pocket?”

He was already very conspicuous when he walked down the road as a big man with a height of 1.9 meters [1]. Wouldn’t it be even more conspicuous that an ocelot’s head was drilled out of his chest? Moreover, Lin Luo’s animal form had already once been exposed to people during the live broadcast of the Seven-Stars Gambling Gathering. It would be bad if they were recognized.

The coat that Xing Mo wore today just happened to have two large pockets with one on each side. Lin Luo’s animal shape was small, so it would be able to fit inside.

“Wao…” Lin Luo whimpered in frustration, then released his claws obediently, and slid down his clothes.

Worried that he would fall, Xing Mo deliberately supported his soft butt with his hands, transferred him to his pocket, and put the clothes scattered on the floor into the space button.

“Don’t make a sound for a while, let’s go back quietly.”

Lin Luo nodded vigorously, and obediently shrank back into Xing Mo’s pocket.

Xing Mo kept his hands in his pockets. While using one hand to smooth the fur of the little guy in his pocket, he casually strode towards the hotel. No one noticed a thing.

Halfway there though, Lin Luo suddenly smelled something nice. He didn’t know where it came from, but it was really tempting.

Lin Luo couldn’t help but pat Xing Mo’s leg twice with his paw, and made a low whimper.

Xing Mo also smelled the scent and found that it led to a few newly opened stalls, which seemed to sell delicious snacks.

Due to the opening of the open auction, the neighborhood around the open auctions was crowded with people. Those businessmen in the area selling food and drinks also found business opportunities. They rented stalls and sold snacks around the public market, so if people were hungry, thirsty or tired, they would be able to rest and buy something to eat and drink. The items for sale were all made of natural ingredients, otherwise they wouldn’t be so fragrant. The price of such food was certainly not cheap, but for the people who had come to participate in the open auction such prices are not very high. As such it could be said that these businesses were doing very well.

Xing Mo was naturally aware of the gluttony problem of his little lover. He tapped on his little head with a finger in amusement, and said in a low voice, “There are too many people, and it’s not easy to squeeze through the crowd with you. I’ll send you back first, then I’ll come back and buy it for you later.”

“Woo…” Lin Luo slumped back contentedly.

After Xing Mo sent Lin Luo back to the hotel, he went out to buy some delicious food for Lin Luo. As a lover, he naturally had to unconditionally satisfy his little lover’s cute little hobby.

After returning to the hotel so early, Lin Luo had nothing to do after turning back into human form and felt it was too stupid to just sit around and wait for food to come. After thinking about it for a while Lin Luo simply took out the Heart of the Sea and prepared to extract the water element liquid.

The Heart of the Sea was worthy of being a glass type jade with its extremely pure and strong energy. After Lin Luo extracted a full 100 milliliters of water element liquid, not only did he not experience any mental overdraft, but he could even vaguely feel an increase in his mental power. No wonder energy teachers wanted to buy high-quality jade. That way not only could high-quality energy liquid be extracted, but it was also very good for the improvement of their mental power.

Soon after he finished extracting the vial of water element liquid he heard the sound of the door opening. Lin Luo jumped off the bed happily and gave Xing Mo the vial of water element liquid. “Brother Xing! You’ve worked hard! This is for you!”

“Thank you.” Xing Mo smiled and took the blue element liquid, lowered his head and kissed Lin Luo’s forehead, then dragged him back into the room, taking the hot snacks he just bought from the space button.
