Mecha Star Wars.

Chapter 1471 Auction
This wasn't Lin Fan's first time attending an auction.

But this is the first time it has stood on the stage as an auction item.

"I'll pay 50 million!"

As soon as he stood still, someone in the audience started bidding.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" the host on stage interrupted with a smile, "It seems that everyone is eager to learn more about these 'original products.' But please allow me a little time to introduce them."

A burst of relaxed laughter came from the audience.

"The three people before you are all superhumans from a distant, level-four civilization planet—Lanxing."

"Wow! Lanxing has actually become a Level 4 civilization. If Vice Cen heard this, he'd probably laugh himself to death."

After an overly flamboyant display of resistance, Antonio noticed that Chitose had closed her eyes again and, too lazy to waste his energy, suddenly calmed down.

Herman did not unlock the chains binding him, but speaking without moving his mouth was not difficult for him.

While the audience treated them like commodities, Antonio and Lin Fan on stage treated the audience as a spectacle.

The restless man took advantage of the chains to mutter complaints to Lin Fan. He said things like some people looked like sprouted potatoes, and others quoted prices like squeezing toothpaste, which was completely unbecoming of their status.

Lan Bingru almost laughed several times as she listened, which unconsciously eased her awkwardness.

"Do any of you who follow the Star Pivot tournament find them familiar?" the host asked with a smile. "That's right! They are the dark horse players who have been the hottest contenders in the Star Pivot tournament recently!"

The stage suddenly went dark, and a spotlight shone on Lin Fan.

"Combat power, reaction speed, agility... she excels in every ability you can think of, and has no weaknesses—Lin Fan!"

On the large screen behind them, clips of Lin Fan's matches were playing.

"Wow~" Antonio turned around and watched with great interest. "Who edited this movie? Who wouldn't be captivated by you after watching it?"

Lin Fan's nimble figure, decisive reactions, and dashing movements frequently drew gasps from the audience.

“Brother An…” Lan Bingru said in a low voice, “In this kind of situation, being infatuated with Lin Jian is not a good thing.”

Sure enough, the sounds of debate from the audience rose up.

"This one looked so docile, but it's actually quite wild! I want it, and none of you can take it from me!"

"Dream on! Who wouldn't want high-quality, original products? Highest bidder wins!"

"You guys calm down! Judging by this, the starting price won't be low, so don't raise the price yourselves..."

"This one!"

The searchlight was switched to Antonio's head, and slices of him were placed behind him.

Antonio wanted to turn around, smile, and wave to the crowd below, like he was participating in a beauty pageant. However, the chains were tightly binding him. He struggled a couple of times, but Hermann on the side of the stage only tightened the chains further, so he had to give up.

"Antonio, the humanoid warrior with S-class strength," the host said, giving Antonio a hard slap on the butt, making the "silkworm" who was twisting his body to look at his own slice jump up and turn back to face the camera.

"Listen to that voice, those solid muscles!" The host tugged at Antonio's shirt.

The chains that had been tightly binding him suddenly loosened, then changed shape, tearing Antonio's coat off.

Antonio thought they had untied him, but the chains changed shape again, pulling his hands behind his back and wrapping around his body in an unconventional way.

The semi-transparent gauze shirt was stretched taut by his muscular chest, and the beautiful lines, wrapped in chains, took on a different meaning.

Lin Fan saw that many people below, especially the female orcs, were staring intently without blinking.

“Look! These red marks from the abuse, this beautiful body,” the host said, reaching out and pressing down on Antonio’s abs from his cheek to his chest muscles, “I’ve touched it for you, it feels amazing. A rare find, a natural product that combines strength and beauty.”

Antonio's smile, which had just burst open because of the liberation of his mouth, immediately collapsed.

"Did he sell me as a gigolo?" he asked Lin Fan.

“Those people wouldn’t have bought you back just to mine.” Lin Fan didn’t believe Antonio really didn’t know.

Knowing it is one thing, but being forced into a bondage play and then openly groped by the host... it's understandable that Antonio would have difficulty accepting it.

The murmurs from the audience grew louder, and the spotlights turned to Lan Bingru.

"This one is Lan Bingru, who also performed brilliantly in the competition!"

Slices of Lan Bingru began playing on the large screen.

Lan Bingru has actually participated in very few competitions, and her rankings have always been quite low, so she can hardly be considered outstanding.

But the woman in the picture was almost as good as Lin Fan… Lan Bingru herself was stunned. “Why do I feel like I’ve seen her before?” Antonio frowned.

"It's a composite video of the two of us," Lin Fan said casually, arms crossed.

"Tch~" Antonio scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"...More importantly, she has a gentle personality..." The host continued speaking, then reached out to Lan Bingru.

Antonio caught a glimpse of him trying to do the same thing, and before his body had fully turned, he raised his foot to kick.

"careful!"

Unfortunately, Herman kept his eyes on Antonio, and the chains on his legs tightened instantly, binding both of his legs tightly.

Antonio lost his balance and fell forward.

Upon seeing this, the host's eyes widened, and he instinctively turned around to help, but unexpectedly, Lan Bingru kicked him over.

Lin Fan grabbed Antonio's chain, preventing him from falling flat on his face in front of everyone.

The audience was in an uproar.

Lan Bingru's legs weren't very strong, and the host reacted quickly, using one hand to support himself as he spun up. He quickly recovered and laughed.

"Look at them, aren't they all amazing? And so unique? Wouldn't you like to recruit them to your own?!"

After a flurry of lively interaction, the host gave the price.

"The starting bid is 90 million, and each bid must be at least 1 million higher..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone below shouted impatiently.

"Ninety-one million." The man holding the sign was a middle-aged man with a sinister expression. He ran his fingertips over the family crest on his collar. "I want the man."

"Damn it!" Antonio's face fell. "I forgot about that possibility!"

"It seems you all really can't wait," the host interjected with a smile. "Alright, since someone's already raised their paddle, let's start with Antonio, the S-class humanoid warrior. Ninety-one million, nine thousand..."

"Ninety-five million!" An old man held up a sign, his arrogant gaze sweeping across the room.

"Ninety-six million!"

"Nine thousand eight hundred and fifty!"...

Bidding was incessant, creating a lively atmosphere.

Antonio glanced at the rotten sweet potato and smiled at the noblewoman as she called out her bid. Immediately, the women bidding intensified their efforts.

"Brother An is really something..." Lan Bingru looked at Antonio driving up the bid for her, the price instantly breaking 100 million and climbing all the way up, and she didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry," Lin Fan was also impressed by Antonio's performance regardless of the occasion. He glanced at the side of the stage, where Qian Sui was being held in Bonnie's arms, "Your brother Antonio is in good health, he can handle whatever he does."

Antonio suddenly paused, then turned to Lin Fan and gave him a bright smile.

"Honey, my heart..."

"Alright, stop talking," Lin Fan interrupted his mushy talk, "Go do your thing."

Once Antonio got permission, he became even more carried away, flirting and swaying his hips. If he weren't still chained up, Lan Bingru suspected he could have gone straight into the audience to show off.

So, who would believe he doesn't want to be a gigolo?

anyway……

"Lin Jian," Lan Bingru whispered to Lin Fan while Antonio had everyone's attention focused on him, "They're paying such a high price to buy someone back, even if it's for... you know, isn't the premium a bit too high?"

It's just flesh and blood. Even if these people are morally corrupt and rolling in money, they wouldn't spend such a high price to buy a piece of flesh they've just met and don't even particularly like, would they?

“Hmm,” Lin Fan nodded, “Their eyes were blatant, greedy, and mercenary, but not overly lustful. Original product… judging from the name, the people being sold probably had other uses for it…”

Lin Fan turned his head and glanced at Qian Sui, who was staring intently at the auction... Suddenly, the auction hall doors were pushed open.

The lively atmosphere suddenly froze as everyone looked toward the gate that had rebounded.

A familiar figure appeared in the doorway. He leaned forward slightly, removed his top hat, and gave a noble bow.

"I apologize for being late. Adrian Finch extends his sincere greetings to you all."
