Chapter 1153 The Grand Auction Officially Begins
As the huge red cloth above the building was torn down, the auction venue finally revealed its true appearance to the public, causing every living being near and far to fall into expressions of shock and temporary speechlessness.
“Can this be accomplished in a short period of time?”
"How many craftsmen worked together on this project?"
Standing in front of this venue named Pandora and looking up at the magnificent building with over ten floors, a feeling of shock arises spontaneously.
The entire venue is a perfect circle, as if it were a modern replica of the ancient Colosseum that came from the long river of history.
Its outline is smooth and majestic, and under the illumination of gorgeous lights, it exudes a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.
The staff who maintained order notified the guests participating in the auction to enter the venue one after another. In order to prevent poor people from taking advantage of the situation from entering, each ticket sold was coded.
Ticket holders must enter the venue in concert with their ticket holders. Those without tickets will not be allowed in. If anyone dares to make a scene and try to force their way in, the giant security guards at the door will throw them into the sea.
If you are lucky enough to pick up a ticket, you are the lucky one for today and can enter with the ticket. Those who spend a lot of money to buy tickets are the suckers and can only spend money to appeal and buy the ticket back.
Wave after wave of guests entered the venue. Luo looked at the large number of Tianlong people entering through a special channel. He felt that they could not wait any longer, "Let's go in and witness tonight's auction items."
Mirajane readily nodded in agreement, and took the man's arm like a lady, giving Trafalgar Law enough face. She was very experienced in being a beautiful vase.
Everyone behind him envied the death surgeon. How could he find a partner who was so beautiful and sexy? The partner next to him looked ugly and old, which made some lustful men very jealous.
As you approach slowly, you will find the thick and solid walls of the venue exuding a majestic aura. The edges of each layer are exquisitely decorated, as if telling the venue's unique story. This is indeed a miracle of architecture.
Luo took out two tickets from his pocket and handed them to the Long-Handed ticket inspector. After a brief verification by a special machine, the Giant security guards wearing special suits made way for the pirates.
A man and a woman slowly walked into the venue, and the huge transparent glass cover in the middle was the first thing that caught Mirajane and Luo's eyes.
It is like a huge crystal ball, isolating the interior of the venue from the outside world. Through the glass cover, you can see the various facilities carefully arranged inside.
The colorful lights interweave together to create a dreamlike atmosphere. The glass cover is crystal clear, reflecting the surrounding light, as if it is an invisible barrier guarding the secrets within the venue.
Walking in the circular corridor of the venue, you can feel a unique sense of space. With the guidance of the staff in the venue, each guest can find the corresponding place to go with the ticket in his hand.
The ten-story scale gives the place rich layers and diverse perspectives, and each floor has different functional areas.
Guests walked around in it, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. This Pandora venue was like a magic box full of unknowns, waiting for people to uncover more of its mysteries.
Luo, accompanied by his female companion Mirajane, walked lightly towards their seats under the guidance of the staff.
The surrounding environment is like a mysterious art palace, filled with a unique atmosphere. Each ticket corresponds to a seat, and there are no standing tickets in this Pandora venue.
I found my seat and sat down slowly, then looked around. There was a spectacular circular seating area surrounding the open space in the middle like layers of waves.
The seats in each ring are arranged at different heights, like a carefully composed piece of music with a unique rhythm.
The open space in the middle is the core of the entire venue - the auction item display area, although no items are displayed at the moment.
The empty area was like a huge magnet, attracting everyone's attention and making people imagine the rare treasures that were about to appear.
People in the seats around were dressed differently and of different races, talking in low voices and occasionally laughing softly. The atmosphere was lively yet elegant.
The light shone softly, casting a warm glow on everyone's face. "I really underestimated them for making such a big scene," Luo said after observing his surroundings and looking up to a higher place.
At the highest point of the exhibition hall, there are exquisite private rooms scattered around, like stars inlaid in the night sky, mysterious and alluring.
As the band in the middle area took the stage, soft music started playing and the lights began to flash rhythmically.
The soft light shining through the private room is like a dreamy bubble, creating an atmosphere that is both real and illusory.
At first, only a few private rooms had lights on, like lonely fireflies flickering in the darkness. Soon, more and more private rooms were lit up, as if stars were shining one by one in the night sky.
Every time the lights came on, there was a slight cheer and exclamation, and people's eyes were cast towards the lit private rooms, wondering who would successfully move into one of them.
People who don't want their identities to be known too much by the outside world, or those who are rich and powerful, will spend a lot of money to bid for the right to use the private room.
At the door of every private room at the highest point, there is a pair of man and woman standing. They are carefully selected waiters who will provide any service to the owner of the private room.
These waiters will introduce the rules of the auction to the owner of the private room, and will provide a comprehensive explanation to the distinguished guests when each auction item is displayed.
The main force of this auction is the VIPs in the private rooms on the top floor. They can look down on everything from above, while the guests below are mostly spectators who are wasting their time.
If we really have to choose a competition of financial strength, among the thousand guests below, none of the VIP guests in the private room are as rich as them. The wealth accumulated by several generations will not be surpassed by a generation of peasants.
The scenes inside the Pandora venue have been broadcast to the outside world in real time through the camera telephone bugs in every corner of the venue to ensure that the outside world knows the first-hand information.
Looking at the images projected by the camera bugs, those creatures who had no money or time to go to the auction felt more or less regretful that they did not participate in this event and had less to talk about with outsiders.
The top naval officials in the conference room stared intently at the images projected by the cameras, afraid of missing a single detail, and their hearts were filled with anticipation for the items to be auctioned.
As another song and dance show was staged inside the venue, the warm-up atmosphere was pushed to its climax, whetting the appetite of everyone inside and outside the venue, and the venue organizer finally began to get to the main topic of the day.
A beautiful waitress was holding a tray respectfully in her hands. The items on the tray were covered with a red cloth. Judging from the outline and size, it should be some kind of devil fruit.
The first item to be auctioned is a devil fruit, but no one knows what kind it is, whether it is a natural type or a mythical beast type, which leaves the audience with endless reverie.
