# Chapter 1975: Bumper Boxes
Just as he entered the Tianyu Grand Auction House, Jiangnan was truly shocked by the scene before him.
Row after row of bowl-shaped spectator seating was already packed to capacity!
The front rows were filled with big shots from various races. Even though the auction house could hold a million people, it still seemed insufficient at the moment!
At the center of the auction house was a massive sales display stage!
The floor of the display stage sparkled with starlight, as if a galaxy had been splashed onto it!
And above the stage floated holographic ring screens!
Broadcasting the stage's visuals at all times so everyone could see clearly!
An auction in the Starry Sky, its scale was simply jaw-dropping!
As invited VIP guests, Jiangnan and his group naturally wouldn't squeeze into the audience seats below!
Instead, they were directly led to the highest-spec sky viewing platforms!
Floating above the auction house's spectator seating were individual boxes!
Over a thousand of them!
The boxes were fully equipped, with even specialized Enchanting Race young ladies serving as attendants, explaining items exclusively for VIPs!
Payment and delivery could all be completed via the particle transmission machines inside the boxes!
The boxes were surrounded by transparent crystal curtains, offering an unobstructed view!
Of course, if one wanted to hide their identity, they could simply switch to privacy mode, turning the crystal curtains into one-way mirrors!
Jiangnan, Ye Yuan, and the others flooded into Box 666. Wenge wanted to follow them in too!
But Jiangnan kicked him out, absolutely refusing to let him into his box!
Wenge ground his teeth in anger and went to open another box next door!
He even controlled his box to fly right beside Box 666, staring at Jiangnan like a hawk!
Qiu Niao didn't open a separate box but stayed with Jiangnan instead!
Just as he sat down, Jiangnan began looking around. In other boxes, he spotted Wate and waved at him from a distance!
He even saw the projection of a red dwarf star floating in the air!
That was a Celestial Star Race member. Its physical body couldn't make it here, so it could only attend in this manner!
But the few Enchanting Race young ladies in the box turned pale, staring at Xing Cheng in terror!
Xing Cheng was currently crouched in front of a small particle transmission machine, frantically pressing buttons!
With each press, pastries would be transmitted over, which she'd stuff into her mouth and swallow!
Seeming to think this was too slow, she directly opened her mouth wide and aimed at the transmission machine!
Long-pressing the transmission button, the continuously transmitted pastries fell straight into Xing Cheng's mouth!
A look of pure bliss on her face!
(｡⁼̴ᗜ⁼̴)
Could such a divine device as an automatic feeder actually exist in this world?
The Starry Sky is just too wonderful!
But the Enchanting Race young lady's face was pale:
(☍﹏⁰。) "M-Mr. Jiangnan? This young lady... aren't you going to do something about her?"
Jiangnan was stunned: (•︠～•︡◕) "What's wrong? Are the pastries charged?"
The Enchanting Race young lady swallowed: "The pastries are complimentary, but... she's eating the plates too?"
Jiangnan waved dismissively: (︶.̮︶◕)ﾉ "Ahh, just let her eat. Plates count as a hearty dish anyway. It's not good to always eat soft food!"
Enchanting Race young lady: ???
[From Qing Mei's resentment value +666!]
That's not the main point here, dammit! This is the first time I've seen someone eat complimentary pastries like this!
Qiu Niao, watching this, felt quite relieved. Finally, she's not wreaking havoc on me anymore!
Just then, a cold snort came from the side, completely out of place!
(￢～￢) "Coming to the Black Mark Assembly is one thing, but booking a box? You really don't know your place!"
"Got enough Star Source Points in your pocket to bid on items? Or are you just here for a free meal? Freeloading? Hahaha!"
Fama from the Starlight Alliance controlled his box floating over, with two Enchanting Race girls in his arms!
On the other side, Huan Lou from the Shield Guild box also floated over!
(￢৺￢ꐦ) "Tsk tsk tsk～ Probably got no goods. After all, even staying at Noah's manor relies on sponsorship from our Shield Guild!"
"Talking about not eating soft food all the time—you're the one enjoying it the most, aren't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't even have the money to open a box!"
"How about you turn yourself in, and I'll sponsor you a few billion on the spot? You're only worth that much anyway!"
Fama: "Huan Lou, you're overpraising him. A bounty on Jiangnan? What's that worth for bidding on black label items? Even selling a dozen of him wouldn't be enough!"
Jiangnan smiled without a word, giving Ai Jiang a look!
Ai Jiang hooked the corner of her mouth with a wicked grin, extending her optical signal interface!
ᥬ(ಡ↼ಡ)᭄
The next moment, Wenge's box suddenly accelerated, crashing into Fama's box with a bang, sending it flying far away!
Fama's box tumbled through the air, spilling drinks everywhere in a dizzying spin!
Wenge's box, like a mad dog, relentlessly rammed into Fama's box!
Fama quickly steadied himself:
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "Wenge! What the hell are you doing? I was talking about him, not you! What's your problem?"
Wenge frantically operated the console, but it wasn't responding at all!
(•́益•̀٥) "It's not me! I didn't do it! I..."
Fama was furious: "Isn't it because I didn't sell you the incense beads? You're playing dirty with me, aren't you?"
"Stop! Stop right now!"
But at this moment, the box was completely beyond Wenge's control!
Huan Lou on the side widened his eyes in shock. What's going on? Is the box malfunctioning?
The next second, the massage chair Huan Lou was sitting on suddenly exploded!
With a deafening "BOOM," Huan Lou was launched from his chair, slamming against the crystal curtain!
His pants split open!
You Lulu widened her eyes, quickly turning away:
(⑉￢﹏￢) "Ptooey～"
Huan Lou went berserk, turning back and blasting an energy wave, shredding the chair to bits!
(ꐦ｀益´) "What the hell kind of piece of crap is this?"
But before he could steady himself, his box started spinning at hundreds of revolutions per second, like a top, charging into the cluster of floating boxes!
Ramming into whoever was in its path!
Immediately, a chorus of curses rang out!
"Damn it! Huan Lou? What are you doing? Do you even know how to drive a box? Did you get your license?"
"Driving like that, you'll lose points in Thousand Stars City! Are you steering with your feet?"
Huan Lou panicked. The box was out of control! What the hell was going on?
Ai Jiang glanced at Jiangnan with a wicked grin!
ᥬ(｡ᵒ̶̶̷̀↼˂̶́)᭄✧
Jiangnan: ✧(≖ᴗ≖◕)
Olivia covered her face. You two are just too mischievous!
The audience below was stunned, looking up at the boxes crashing into each other, swallowing hard!
Σ(꒪ͦ△꒪ͦ|||)
What's going on? Bumper boxes?
Are these box VIPs really that bored?
The next moment, Fama roared!
"Enough!"
Infinite gravitational waves radiated from his body, binding all the frenzied boxes, then setting them straight one by one!
The scene quieted down instantly!
Jiangnan's Box 666 let out a strained creaking sound, as if it might be crushed by the gravity at any moment!
Fama's rage burned like wildfire:
(ꐦ▼皿▼) "Was that you?"
Jiangnan looked completely innocent:
╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "You flatter me. How could I possibly have that kind of ability?"
"This is a Silicon product, what does it have to do with me? Seems like Silicon products aren't always reliable!"
"What's the matter, old timer? Planning to crush me right here in the auction house? Looks like you've completely trampled on Lord Noah's face, huh?"
The nebula on Fama's body swirled, but in the end, he gave up applying pressure, the resentment value flooding like crazy!
If he said it had nothing to do with him, Fama would bet his life he didn't believe it!
But he couldn't find any evidence!
Just then, on the starlight display stage, a Fairy Sound Clan beauty appeared!
Inspirational music filled the venue!
ᕕ(♬⁰̷̴⥎⁰̷̴)ᕤ "Yo yo yo～ Hello to all our myriad race friends from the north and south of the Starry Sky～"
"The long-awaited Black Mark Assembly officially kicks off today! I, Ling Yin, will be your host!"
٩(♬≥ヮ≤)ᕤ "Are your source chips ready?"
At this moment, Ling Yin's ethereal voice spread throughout the venue, clearly reaching everyone's ears, like a spring breeze!
Jiangnan clicked his tongue. Fairy Sound Clan? This whole race works as hosts, huh? Not a waste of talent!
For some reason, Jiangnan suddenly thought of Didiwei's exclusive BGM—Heavenly Fairy Sound...
Wondering if it had any connection to the Fairy Sound Clan!
Cheers erupted from the venue, wave after wave!
Ling Yin said: "But before the Black Mark Assembly officially begins, we have the traditional opening performance!"
"I'm sure many brothers and sisters are here for this. When I say 'Yue Li,' you say 'We want'!"
٩(ᵒ̴̶̷ꇴᵒ̴̶̷♬)و "Yue Li! Yue Li!"
As she spoke, Ling Yin raised her hands high!
In the Tianyu Auction House, nearly a million spectators shouted in unison!
⁽⁽٩(๑˃̶͈̀ᗨ˂̶͈́)۶⁾⁾ "Want! Want! Want!"
The next moment, the venue's lights suddenly dimmed, beams of light converging on the stage!
Ling Yin stepped aside, a soothing, ethereal fairy melody flowing from her mouth, as if it could cleanse one's soul!
Huan Lou, who had been about to explode with rage, now calmed down, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the center of the stage, full of desire!
Jiangnan's mouth twitched as he watched. No wonder the guy switched to a younger possessed body; he's an old pervert!
Just then, above the venue, a crescent moon projection appeared!
Cold moonlight poured down, and Yue Li's figure descended from the full moon!
Clad in a light gauze feathered robe, moonlight silk fluttering, she was like a fairy descending from the celestial palace!
As flower petals scattered through the air, Yue Li's petite form radiated boundless charm, landing on the stage!
The stage swirled with a river of stars, starlight flickering, but none could outshine Yue Li!
Yue Li was clearly dressed up today, even more beautiful than before!
Gasps of admiration rose from the venue, and even Jiangnan was momentarily stunned!
