Frenzied bidding! No upper limit

The hotel lobby was completely silent at this moment, and many people unconsciously took a few steps back.

Although they have their own country backing them.

But if they were shot dead by armed forces in the Golden Triangle, then their deaths would have been in vain.

Some reporters quickly moved their cameras away, as this scene was not suitable for filming.

But what just happened was still seen by many people online.

Wow, that's awesome! They deserve what they got!

"That black guy with the AK must be the owner of Jack Security Company, right? He's totally my type!"

"Hurry up and kill him! He actually dared to try and get close to our female CEO, he deserves to die."

"Didn't you see what 'baka' that little brat just said? How dare he swear?"

Dragon Country netizens applauded this scene.

Cherry Blossom Country netizens, however, were not buying it.

"We condemn this! We strongly condemn this! How dare they treat employees of our Cherry Blossom Country like this!"

"They're completely outrageous! What about the cabinet and the Self-Defense Forces? Are they just going to let them bully our people like this?"

Why should we be treated differently?!

The condemnation from netizens in Cherry Blossom Country continues unabated; they are genuinely angry.

This auction is generating so much buzz; countless people around the world are watching.

Now, people from their country are having guns pointed at their heads; this is a direct slap in the face to Cherry Blossom Country.

Nobuo Kida, with a gun pointed at his head by Jack, was already trembling.

The agents from the Investigation Bureau around him didn't dare to move an inch.

Their weapons were confiscated upon entering the hotel lobby.

No one expected things to turn out this way so suddenly.

Sakata Ichiro, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward with a beaming smile:

"You must be Mr. Jack. This is a misunderstanding. Kimura simply wanted to get to know Mr. Li."

Jack glanced at Chen Feng, Chen Feng shook his head slightly.

For Chen Feng, this auction was just the beginning.

If someone were to commit murder here, who would want to participate in the future?

His grand scheme to amass wealth would then be affected.

Seeing his boss shake his head, Jack immediately said:

"Apologize!"

Upon hearing this, Kimura Nobuo's face flushed red; he felt utterly humiliated.

But faced with the dark, gaping muzzle of a gun, he had no choice but to obey. He turned to Li Xiaorou and the others, bowed ninety degrees, and said:

"Mr. Li, I apologize for disturbing you!"

Nobuo Kimura then bowed three more times before Jack finally moved the gun away.

Jack immediately waved his hand, and the surrounding militiamen put away their AKs.

Jack surveyed the crowd and said;

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jack Security Company is not a terrorist organization. Our goal is to transform the Golden Triangle into a peaceful, stable, and prosperous region. The security at this auction is the responsibility of Jack Security Company, and we hope everyone will maintain order."

After making a lot of polite remarks, Jack left with his men.

However, the people present clearly did not believe Jack's words. He immediately pointed an AK at someone's head. Is this how you build the Golden Triangle into a peaceful and prosperous region?

But everyone only thought about it in their hearts and dared not say it out loud.

Nobuo Kida and his men slunk back to their positions.

He was trembling with rage.

"Sakata-kun, are you just going to stand by and watch me be humiliated? I must report this to the Cabinet!"

Kida Nobukuro glared at Sakata Ichiro beside him.

Ichiro Sakata said seriously:

"Vice President Kida, let me remind you, this is the Golden Triangle, a chaotic region. If you don't apologize now, I'm sure that Jack will kill you. We'll talk about this after the auction!"

Sakata Ichiro was actually angry inside, but he could only suppress it.

He only brought a little over 500 people with him this time, and if he were to have a direct conflict with the people from the Golden Triangle, he would not gain any advantage.

At the same time, he couldn't understand where Jack got the audacity to treat the people of their Cherry Blossom Country like that.

Aren't they afraid of retaliation from Cherry Blossom Country? After all, they're just an armed group from the Golden Triangle, insignificant compared to Cherry Blossom Country's military strength.

Li Xiaorou was startled by what she had just witnessed.

She had never experienced anything like seeing so many people simultaneously brandishing AKs.

However, because she represented Xingfeng Group, she had been trying her best to remain calm, but her hand had been gripping Chen Feng the whole time.

"Boss, Jack and his gang are terrifying."

Li Xiaorou had previously thought that Jack and his group were very polite and easy to get along with.

But now her mind has changed.

"They're here to protect us, don't be afraid," Chen Feng reassured Li Xiaorou.

For someone like Li Xiaorou, who is used to a peaceful life in China, seeing such a scene would indeed be frightening.

The special forces captain then leaned close to Chen Feng and said:

"Academician Chen, Cherry Blossom Country might not give up so easily. Should we request reinforcements from higher authorities?"

The special forces captain had already sensed that the people around Nobuo Kida earlier were not ordinary; they were clearly professional agents.

Chen Feng shook his head and said:

"No need, we'll be back soon, there's no need to send someone over now."

Chen Feng wasn't worried about anything; this was the Golden Triangle, his territory.

He promised he wouldn't let these people from the Cherry Blossom Country leave alive if they came looking for trouble.

Just then, two female auctioneers entered the hall, and the first item to be auctioned was brought in, covered with a red cloth.

As the auction items appeared, the previously subdued atmosphere in the room became lively again.

The female auctioneer looked at the entire audience and said loudly:

"Welcome everyone to our company's auction. We have cordially invited an internationally renowned third-party testing agency to conduct on-site testing and authentication of the items to be auctioned."

After the female photographer finished speaking...

Several staff members carrying toolboxes and wearing white coats came to the stands.

Many people at tech companies recognized these individuals.

"It's actually one of Dao Er and An Biao's men!"

"They even invited them here, could this alien debris incident be real?"

I'm already looking forward to it.

Everyone in the room was somewhat excited.

DOR and ANSI are the most renowned third-party testing organizations internationally, holding a very high position in the field of elemental analysis.

The test results provided by both institutions are highly accurate.

"Enough with the unnecessary words, let's move on to the auction of the first item. This is a piece of metal obtained from the wreckage of an alien spacecraft, which we'll tentatively name Cold Stone!"

The female auctioneer lifted the red cloth.

A fist-sized, entirely white stone appeared on the tray.

The large screen in the stands also magnified the image of the stone.

Upon seeing the snow-white stone, the expressions of everyone present instantly changed.

Because just by looking at its appearance, this stone doesn't seem to exist on Earth.

"What beautiful stones!" someone exclaimed.

The female auctioneer's voice came again:

"This metallic stone has a special property; it can emit a cold aura like ice."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed once again.

The female auctioneer's words left everyone in disbelief.

The idea that a stone can emit cold air like an ice cube seems a bit like science fiction.

At this moment, people from several nearby testing agencies also came up and began to test the stones.

These people also wore expressions of excitement and anticipation.

If this stone is indeed a product of extraterrestrial civilization, then their testing agency can also gain fame because of this stone.

Everyone in the room held their breath, waiting for the test results.

About five minutes later, the testing agency personnel completed the simple testing and identification.

The expressions of the people from the testing agency were filled with astonishment and disbelief.

A staff member from the testing agency took a deep breath and said to the crowd:

"Based on our initial testing of this metal, we found that its temperature remained at -3 degrees Celsius. I want to emphasize that in the past five minutes, its temperature has not changed at all!"

"Furthermore, we also found traces of non-terrestrial elements in this metal, and its elemental composition and proportions are completely different from any terrestrial material we know of."

Upon hearing this, everyone from the major technology companies in the room stood up.

At this moment, everyone's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

As we all know, any object in Earth's natural environment will be affected by the ambient temperature, which will cause its own temperature to fluctuate.

But this piece of metal not only remained at sub-zero temperatures, but its temperature also remained completely unchanged, which is astonishing in itself.

What shocked everyone even more was that the elemental composition and proportions of this metal were unlike anything found on Earth.

This is just a temporary on-site test; it's not possible to use large-scale instruments for detailed testing.

These two points alone are enough to prove that this thing is definitely a product of extraterrestrial civilization.

Unknown elemental substance!

There may be unknown elements in the universe that humans have not yet discovered, but they are extremely rare.

Scientists have only deduced a few unknown substances, such as dark matter, which exist only in science fiction concepts.

But now, this unknown substance from science fiction has actually appeared.

At that moment, everyone became excited.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments, all expressing shock at the result.

"Holy crap, it's actually true!"

"Is this really a product of extraterrestrial civilization? Have UFO wreckage really been discovered in the Golden Triangle?"

"My God, am I really going to meet aliens?"

The internet was filled with exclamations of surprise.

Representatives from the tech companies present also started making phone calls and contacting people to report this to their company headquarters.

The female auctioneer was also moved and shocked by the test results; this was the first time in her career that she had auctioned something from an extraterrestrial civilization.

Suppressing her excitement, she cleared her throat and said loudly:

"Cold Stone, starting bid one hundred million US dollars, minimum increment ten million dollars. Auction begins now!"

As the female auctioneer's voice rang out...

An Apple representative was the first to shout, "Two hundred million!"

They met with representatives from Apple and immediately offered $200 million.

Everyone in the room was somewhat surprised.

Two hundred million US dollars is no small sum; only a company with a market value of trillions could be so generous.

A few seconds later, another voice came:

Three hundred million!

The representative from Samsung Group, which made the statement, is also the second-largest smartphone manufacturer in the world.

But these two bids were just the beginning.

Other tech companies then began to make offers.

Three hundred and fifty million!

"Four hundred million!"

Five hundred million!

Six hundred and fifty million!

"."

The price dropped to $700 million before the number of bidders decreased.

Only a few companies specializing in materials and cutting-edge technology are bidding.

Just then, a sudden voice rang out:

"One billion. Our SpaceX company has always been committed to sending humans to Mars. If we obtain this metal from extraterrestrial civilizations, it will definitely advance the process of human colonization of Mars."

After the SpaceX representative made his offer, he specifically brought up the idea of sending humans to Mars.

This kind of explanation might fool ordinary people, but others might not buy it.

Samsung Group has struck again. "1.1 billion!"

Now only three companies remain in the competition.

After all, this stone from extraterrestrial civilization has not yet undergone professional identification and testing; it's only a temporary test. What we can discover or what technologies we can obtain from it is all unknown.

If it can be proven that the unknown element in this metal can drive breakthroughs in research in certain fields, then they may continue to bid.

But this is just a simple test, and it doesn't prove anything.

Moreover, a sum of over a billion US dollars is not a small amount.

"Two billion!" SpaceX raised the price directly to two billion.

At this point, the Samsung representative stopped making any bids.

After all, this is only the first item to be auctioned. According to the information provided by the auction organizers, there will be a total of five items up for auction.

Chen Feng quietly observed the bidding crowd, a smile appearing on his face.

He originally thought these five items would sell for about 10 billion Dragon Country.

Unexpectedly, the first piece of metal fetched this price.

Just then, Chen Feng's phone rang. He took it out and saw that Liu Mu was the one who answered.

When I answered the phone, Liu Mu's voice came through:

"Little Chen, make a bid and buy this piece of metal!"

Chen Feng was surprised that Liu Mu called him at this time; it seemed that the metal had attracted the attention of the government.

"What's the highest bid?" Chen Feng asked.

Liu Mu said with utmost seriousness:

"No limit, bid on it no matter the price!"
