Old days in the box

Chapter 234 The tumultuous journey to Japan

real world.

After some simple packing, Zhou Xiao carried a small backpack and quickly left home.

Fortunately, both the box and the mini printer are small in size, only a quarter of the size of a normal case. As long as the data cable is unplugged, it can be easily carried around.

This old community also received huge attention for the first time in a long time. Within two hours, several luxury cars drove directly to the gate of the community. The people who got out of the cars were all foreign faces, wearing suits and serious faces. I thought it was some kind of diplomatic occasion.

Sotheby's auction house attaches great importance to the mysterious seller Zhou Xiao. Not only did it help him handle all the necessary procedures as quickly as possible, but it also failed to comply with any of his requests.

When Zhou Xiao walked out of the gate of the community, Mavis had already opened the car door for him, holding a cup of fragrant freshly ground coffee and waiting for him.

"Mr. Zhou, the laptop you requested has been placed in the car. I have also prepared refreshing coffee for you to facilitate your work. Our drive takes about an hour. Your visa is already being processed, so there is no need to worry. "

Zhou Xiao walked towards the luxurious motorcade. Mabius diligently stepped forward to take off his backpack for him and handed him the coffee in his hands.

"I can do it myself." Zhou Xiao declined him politely, took the coffee and got into the car.

His backpack was of great importance and he would not give it to anyone else.

Mabis nodded at Zhou Xiao from outside the car. After closing the door for Zhou Xiao, he walked back to the car in front and directed the convoy to leave in an orderly manner.

In the next trip, they will take Zhou Xiao, a super VIP, directly to the seaport of Jinghai City, and then board the luxury cruise ship Quantum of the Seas sponsored by Mitsubishi Group.

After getting on the bus, Zhou Xiao saw a brand new MacBook Pro on the other end of the seat, with receipts and accessories neatly placed in the box for Zhou Xiao to check.

Compared to fleets of luxury cars and invitations to cruise ships, laptops are nothing to Sotheby's.

With this laptop, Zhou Xiao can connect back to the box at any time and reopen the window to the atrium.

However, he was not in a hurry to connect the box in the car immediately. He just activated the laptop and confirmed how much power was left in it.

His mini-chassis is always a channel connecting the two worlds, and it can also print the divine power of the Nine Realms back to reality. It is better to avoid exposing this kind of thing to outsiders as much as possible.

Anyway, with his current VIP status as the mysterious seller, neither the auction house nor anyone else is likely to disturb him easily.

After the vehicle left the community, it quickly drove along the main road to the seaside and headed towards the harbor.

Zhou Xiao opened half of the car window, and his divine perception continued to drift into the distance with the wind outside the window. The wind and clouds in the sky, the flowers, plants and buildings on the land, and the bustling crowd in the building all returned to him like a live broadcast. , vividly remembered.

His mood also rarely became happy, and he seemed to smell the sea breeze so close to him.

Zhou Xiao holds most of the ocean power in his hands. Compared to the land, he is naturally closer to the sea. This is a natural change brought to him by elemental affinity.

As his vehicle approached the port, even the weather and waves nearby rarely calmed down.

The convoy carrying Zhou Xiao directly bypassed the busy port road and went directly to the boarding port from the special VIP channel.

There, the captain of the Quantum of the Seas and the staff of the Sotheby's auction house were already waiting for the last guest to board the ship.

After the vehicle stopped, Mabis hurriedly came over to open the door for Zhou Xiao and welcomed him to the entrance to the ship.

A huge luxury cruise ship was docked steadily in the port.

"Mr. Zhou, all your documents have been processed. You can just board the ship. Let me introduce to you that this is the captain of the Ocean Quantum. He was a former diver in the Navy..."

Mabis led Zhou Xiao to the boarding port and enthusiastically introduced several of the main managers on the ship to him.

But Zhou Xiao's mind was not on these foreign faces, but as his vast perception spread to the sea, he instantly surrounded this huge cruise ship.

The cruise ship is about [-] meters long and has a total of [-] decks. Each floor has cabins and different facilities. It can accommodate thousands of passengers and nearly [-] employees. It is almost close to the configuration of the world's top cruise ships. .

The ship was already filled with guests from all over the world. The sea breeze was filled with the aroma of mellow wine and hormones. The tall waitresses were shuttled in the bar in high heels. The theater and entertainment center were unfolding. Round after round of performances. All this information was transmitted back to Zhou Xiao's mind in an instant, and he could see it clearly.

It seems that this cruise ship has not just set off from here, but has been sailing on the sea for some time.

If Mitsubishi Group hadn't spent money behind the scenes to have Sotheby's auction house come forward to invite Zhou Xiao, this cruise ship, which was not open to the public, would not have changed its route and temporarily stayed at the port in Jinghai City.

"Mr. Zhou, if you need anything on the ship, please feel free to contact me. My team and I are very happy to serve you." The captain did not notice Zhou Xiao's absence and happily extended his hand to him.

The captain has been serving on this cruise ship for several years. It can be said that there are very few guests who can make the auction house change the route midway. Even a fool can see that the identity of this mysterious VIP is definitely not simple.

"Let's set sail. The weather tonight is not good. It's better to enter Japanese waters as soon as possible." Zhou Xiao simply shook the captain's hand and said to him.

Although the clouds on the sea are calm at the moment, there are quite a lot of rain clouds brewing in the distance, which happens to be on the passage where the cruise ship is about to sail to Japan.

The captain and Mabis looked at each other. Is this mysterious young seller still an expert in meteorology?

But Zhou Xiao smiled and didn't explain much. He just followed the reception at the boarding gate and boarded the ship.

It didn't take long before he had officially stepped onto the luxury cruise ship along the boarding gate and left the land of Jinghai City.

Mabis and the captain's team quickly followed Zhou Xiao's footsteps and boarded the deck. At this time, the ship was already full of foreign guests from all over the world, just as Zhou Xiao saw in the sensor.

"This ship departs from Japan and stops and sails around the world. It has been sailing for two months before coming here. Please don't be offended, Mr. Zhou." Mabis followed Zhou Xiao while saying, Explained softly.

"It's understandable, this ship also belongs to Japan?" Zhou Xiao asked casually.

"Yes, the major shareholder sponsoring this cruise ship is Mitsubishi Modeling. They strongly support our auction house in implementing this global sailing maritime auction format, which has benefited us a lot, so this time we are also following their request. , we urgently changed our route and made a special trip to receive you."

Mavis nodded and gave Zhou Xiao a detailed answer.

"Mitsubishi Modeling?" Zhou Xiao paused subconsciously.

"Yes, haven't you heard? The virtual business group emerged from the Mitsubishi Group two years ago. In just three months, they successively acquired the industry's top technologies such as Unreal Engine and Frostbite Engine, and quickly grew from The group became independent, which is simply a business miracle!”

Zhou Xiao, as a former employee of a game company, naturally heard about Mitsubishi modeling that Mabius mentioned.

Mitsubishi Modeling is indeed, as Mabis said, a business miracle in the game engine world.

But this glorious period of Mitsubishi modeling lasted less than ten months, and its rise and fall were equally fast. In less than a year, it quickly disappeared from the industry, and no one knows the reason yet.

Therefore, for people like Zhou Xiao who are new to the industry, this can only be regarded as a legend in the industry at best. It is okay to listen to it, but it has no real impact on the current work.

Who would have thought that Mitsubishi Modeling would now transform into a major shareholder of the auction house and even extend an invitation to Zhou Xiao.

Zhou Xiao did not continue speaking, but felt an inexplicable doubt in his heart.

Mitsubishi Modeling... is exactly related to the high-precision models that Window needs most.

Is this a coincidence?

"Mr. Zhou, let's take you to your room first..." The captain saw that this mysterious guest didn't seem to want to talk about Mitsubishi modeling, so he immediately stepped forward and said proactively.

Just as the group of them walked across the deck and walked to the luxury suite of the cruise ship.

In the captain's cabin on the cruise ship, two oriental faces in suits were staring at Zhou Xiao on the surveillance screen and communicating in Japanese.

"Is it really him?"

"Yes, we have been looking for him for a year, and he is the most qualified person."
