Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

Looking at Zhou Nanbei's expression, Sheng Shengman said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"I believe in you."

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly, and at that moment a voice suddenly came out.

"The auction will begin in five minutes."

Please keep quiet.

As the sound rang out, the auction hall gradually quieted down.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

Slowly, Sheng Sheng Man said this.

Before long, a servant came in carrying a display tray.

I saw Sheng Sheng Man and Zhou Nanbei.

"Young Master Zhou, Manager,"

"These are the juice and snacks the young lady asked me to bring up."

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly.

"Hmm, put it there."

After listening to the servant put it down, he turned and left, finally leaving Zhou Nanbei.

He stood up at this moment.

Arriving at the edge of the corridor, looking at the raised wooden platform,

Zhou Nanbei couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

Although Yin Nanfeng meant well, Zhou Nanbei still had an urge to punch her, just like the saying goes.

"You're being too nice to me, I'm going to punch you too."

……

Sheng Shengman walked over at this moment, looking at the stunned Zhou Nanbei.

Then look at that glaring little wooden table.

Sheng Shengman couldn't help but chuckle.

The laughter pulled Zhou Nanbei back to reality.

Looking at Sheng Sheng Man, Zhou Nanbei shook his head helplessly, then stood up. After standing up...

You can hold onto the railing with both hands.

He first looked around at the other people on the same floor and found that, besides him, only three other private rooms were occupied.

However, at this time...

Seeing no one coming out, Zhou Nanbei looked down. The fourth floor was empty except for a few scattered private rooms.

There are people almost everywhere.

Below, the hall was packed with people. Yin Nanfeng stood on one side of the auction hall, waiting for something.

Suddenly, she looked up at Zhou Nanbei, revealing a bright smile, her eyes full of amusement that she couldn't hide.

It seems like they're saying something.

Do you like the surprise your sister prepared for you?

Zhou Nanbei looked at the smile on Yin Nanfeng's face and was speechless.

Pointing downwards with the little hand

Then he made a gesture as if to grab Yin Nanfeng, while his other hand was waving rapidly.

Looking at Zhou Nanbei in this state,

The smile in Yin Nanfeng's eyes deepened.

And this time,

Those who came out early watched the interaction between Zhou Nanbei and Yin Nanfeng.

The sound gradually rose.

"Who is this?"

"Yes, whose child is this? He's with Boss Yin!"

"Are you that close?"

…………

suddenly,

Sheng Sheng Man patted Zhou Nanbei, and Zhou Nanbei looked at Sheng Sheng Man.

"Sister Man, what's wrong?"

Sheng Sheng Man pointed to the opposite side, and Zhou Nanbei looked in the direction Sheng Sheng Man was pointing. He saw the private room opposite.

I don't know when,

Zhao Xuan was already standing there, smiling at Zhou Nanbei, with a woman and a man standing beside him.

The woman was indeed beautiful, but... well... she was incredibly tall, at least 1.8 meters if I had to guess.

The man next to him,

He is two meters tall, with a broad back and thick waist, and his presence alone gives people a sense of oppression.

.........

After glancing at it briefly, Zhou Nanbei looked at Zhao Xuan.

He vanished from the spot in a flash.

When it appears,

He had already sat down on the railing in front of Zhao Xuan.

The two were face to face.

Zhou Nanbei couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Zhao, aren't you very busy?"

"What brings you to the Crescent Moon Hotel?"

The two people beside Zhao Xuan looked at Zhou Nanbei, who had suddenly appeared, and a hint of envy flashed in their eyes.

Zhao Xuan, however, looked surprised.

"Little guy, you're becoming more and more proficient in using spatial power."

After giving a compliment,

He then joked, "Why do I have time to come? It's to clean up the mess left by some little monkey who's been burrowing into the mountains."

Zhou Nanbei gave an awkward smile.

Of course I know who this little monkey is talking about.

"Grandpa Zhao, you knew all along?"

Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "They've even brought out the Toad Style Kung Fu."

How could I not know?

He then waved his hand, saying, "But it's not a big problem."

You've got the Toad Style Kung Fu.

Just make a copy for Grandpa Zhao.

Zhou Nanbei was taken aback: "Grandpa Zhao, copying a Toad Kung Fu manual isn't a big problem."

Shouldn't you criticize me?

Why are you so calm?

Zhao Xuan chuckled lightly: "This matter is a bit complicated."

Okay then.

"Grandpa Zhao will tell you more after the auction, okay?"

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly:

"Okay, Grandpa Zhao." He glanced at the auction about to begin below and left with a single sentence.

"Grandpa Zhao, I'll head back now," and then disappeared from the spot.

Wait until Zhou Nanbei disappears.

The tall woman beside him finally spoke: "Grandpa,"

this,

"Is he Grandpa Zhou's grandson?"

Zhao Xuan nodded slightly: "Yes, isn't it interesting?"

And Old Man Zhou,

They looked as if they were carved from the same mold.

The tall woman nodded slightly, but didn't reply. Instead, she turned her gaze to Zhou Nanbei and stared at him curiously.

…………

A moment later,

The auction officially began, with Yin Nanfeng personally presiding.

Zhou Nanbei leaned against the railing.

Yin Nanfeng watched the auction with great interest, because apart from the very beginning, Zhou Nanbei, who had never seen an auction before, was also present.

Besides feeling novelty,

I didn't have any particular feelings, um...

Zhou Nanbei felt that she wasn't as good-looking as Yin Nanfeng.

.........

Until the announcement of the auction of his Ru ware was made.

Zhou Nanbei finally perked up.

Ladies and gentlemen, this piece is a "Song Dynasty Ru ware".

Named: Sky Blue Glazed Sunflower-Shaped Wash Basin

The quality is top-notch, starting bid is 200 million, with increments of 100 million.

It must be no less than one million.

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of voices followed.

"Two hundred and ten million."

"Two hundred and thirty million."

.........

Zhou Nanbei watched as bids were raised one after another.

It was quite astonishing.

Damn, there were so many rich people in 1996.

Sheng Sheng Man observed Zhou Nanbei's expression. After knowing him for so long, how could she not guess...?

Hmm... no,

There's no need to guess; with such a blatant expression, anyone could tell at a glance what Zhou Nanbei was thinking.

So he explained softly, "Little Nanbei, are you thinking..."

Why are there so many rich people?

Zhou Nanbei looked at Sheng Shengman and nodded slightly.

"I am indeed curious."

"It's only been a few years since the reform and opening up."

Sheng Sheng Man smiled gently and explained in a low voice, "Little Nanbei,

Don't just focus on ordinary people. Every era has wealthy people, and the wealthy people here...

There are three main categories.

The first category consists of those with a rich history and wealth, also known as "old money," who were wealthy before the founding of the People's Republic of China, or even earlier.

Although we lived through that special era.

But these people don't know how many subordinates they have in secret, and the wealth they hide is only much greater.

As for the second category

These are the people who got rich during the reform and opening up, like the business owners on the first and second floors below, but most of them have some shady dealings involved.

Smuggling, antiques, and other illegal activities were all part of the schemes people used, as foreign exchange was in high demand at the time.

As for the third category

"That's about power... This little Nanbei needs to look at the Lan family's situation not long ago; I believe the little Nanbei understands."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly.

"I see."

To be honest, Sheng Sheng Man's words really woke him up. He had previously looked at the New Moon Hotel...

So generous!

I thought it was because the Crescent Moon Hotel had accumulated a rich history and profound cultural heritage over the years that I had such a good impression of it.

It has always been perceived as having few isolated cases.

In retrospect, he was somewhat narrow-minded.
