Marvel Space and Time Administration Growth Log

"Let's go to our private room first." Because of the special circumstances, Stark couldn't speak in a public environment, so Lancer signaled Coco not to say anything more and go to her own box first.

Because the auction was in a corner, they found their box as soon as they entered the venue. Seeing the furnishings inside the box, Lansher frowned. A familiar sense of déjà vu came to his mind, and the memories of a certain dimension he had come into contact with re-echoed in the ocean of memory.

Although the Continental Hotel has a traditional and luxurious decoration, the auction venue is a very high-tech place. Each private room is separated by a number written on the door. The number is sent in advance on the invitation letter to customers who apply to participate. Lanser and his friends' room number is 541.

Apparently, this auction only accepts invitations, not people.

After pushing the door open, there is a small space similar to a home theater. There is a long sofa and two separate sofa chairs opposite. There is a small coffee table filled with various drinks and snacks. A special projector projects the image onto the pure white wall.

The warm-up song and dance performance is playing now, and it will probably be

Watch the auction directly here.

Lancer immediately realized the benefit of doing so, because you can only watch the video screen, you don’t know where the auction venue is, it might not even be in the hotel, so there is no way you can kill people and steal treasures.

The touch screen on the table is probably used for projection and filming, so that the identities of each person can be kept secret as much as possible and it is not easy to make enemies. Of course, there is also a service bell on the table, which can summon the waiter to deliver things, or invite some hotel management to ask questions or propose some transactions.

"No problem!" After a quick check, Chuntian nodded to Lancer and the others. As a humanoid, as long as you are a device sending out signals, it is unlikely that you can escape their sight. In addition, SOPII has hacked into the central control equipment of this hotel, so in theory there is no situation where the other party's cables cannot be detected.

"Huh... It really does feel a bit uncomfortable!" Stark, who had been silent all the way, walked to the table, took off his mask, and poured himself a glass of iced whiskey, "What a terrible taste." Then he took a look at the brand of the whiskey and curled his lips.

"So the lady sits in the middle, and the two of us unlucky guys sit in single seats, how about that, Mr. Stark?" Lancer looked around.

"Good idea. It's easier to sit alone." Stark sat down on the sofa and leaned back to make himself more comfortable. "To be honest, I really didn't expect that I could walk out of the cave easily. Thank you. I'll remember it." Stark began to look at the auction catalog on the table. "It looks like there are a few more items than what you got. I'm also curious, what are these coins used for? Ordinary antique coins are unlikely to appear here."

"I have a few of these coins too." Koko suddenly interrupted. "The composition is very strange. It cannot be cut or melted. It has no energy and its composition cannot be extracted. Someone even tried to make a suit of armor with them, but failed."

"Oh..." Stark was stunned for a moment, touched his chin, and looked at Lancer who was frowning beside him, "It seems that you are very interested?!"

"It seems like we have some kind of fate. The estimated price is just 5 per piece. Even if there is a 20% premium on 30 pieces, it would only be 130 million. If you buy them for less than 200 million, you can just buy them for fun." Lanser said with a smile. After all, with 7000 million in funds at his disposal, Lanser was not at all worried.

"Well, then I won't compete with you for it." Stark nodded. "The others... there are a few interesting things, but they are just interesting, so our goal today is the last one!" Stark quickly flipped through the pages, and the pages of MKB42H and STG45 flashed by. "So today's goal is this, Vibranium... How did they get it? The United Nations controls the outflow of this thing."

"It naturally cannot appear here through normal channels." Lanser said with a smile. This is an auction belonging to the other world. Naturally, the things that appear in this auction are never legal.

"Okay, that's exactly what happened. Ah, let's start, the meaningless paintings." Just as they were chatting, the host appeared on the projection screen. After a simple opening speech, the auction started directly.

"No, I think I've seen this series of paintings." Lanser looked at the painting in front of him, which had a familiar composition. "He didn't say who the painter was, right?"

"So you know?" Koko said curiously. She took a look at the painting. There was nothing special about it. Even the painting skills seemed a little immature. At least Koko didn't think she would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy this painting.

"I'm not sure, but the composition is very similar. It should be a series of works. When I saw the painting, it had just been fished out from the bottom of the sea several dozen meters deep." Looking at Koko and Stark who looked curious, Lancer shrugged and revealed the mystery, "From a U-boat."

"U-boat? Germany in World War II!? That mustache?" Koko frowned, then stared at the painting in silence. If we talk about the most famous painter from 1938 to 1945, then of course all the painters in the world were overshadowed by one person, the owner of the bloody swastika flag, the madman who led the German iron hoof to march all over Europe. "In this way, these few people who keep raising the price are basically people in that circle. No wonder the bearded Eric came out, it turned out to be his painting."

"It's really the underground world. How interesting. And why are you looking at me?"

"Well...your beard is much sexier than that one!"

"Thank you!"

1-94 Auction

Perhaps it was because they didn't meet each other, there was no provocation at all, only cold bidding, the first painting was quickly sold at a high price of $38, Lancer had no intention of investigating, the circle of Nacui had not been completely extinct since World War II! It would be a complete waste of effort to investigate them.

Because even the SS had a special meeting, and Heinrich Himmler's daughter made a high-profile appearance. This was the Germany that many people boasted about, where the chancellor knelt down.

Naturally, it is not surprising that this painting, which is a spiritual totem of a person, is sold for hundreds of thousands here. The only reason why this painting is not sold for a higher price is that it is auctioned here, and it all depends on personal preference and luck. No one will give you a

Paper appraisal! Although Lanser knew that these appraisals could be done by the big auction houses themselves.

"It looks like these two guns were taken out by you. Congratulations. The price is a little higher than the normal auction price." Koko tilted her head and looked at Lanser.

"Not bad, it's only about 42 or 21 more than the psychological price. After all, it's an industrial product, so it's unlikely to go sky-high." Lancer shrugged, and the MKB45H was sold for $70. The STG, which is theoretically a rare assault rifle that is the last German weapon and has very few surviving, was sold for less than $. Lancer wanted to raise his hand several times to act as a babysitter and raise it again, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. "But I have to admit that the planning of the Continental Hotel is very professional."

The first item to be auctioned was a painting that was suspected to be of the Führer, and then the two assault rifles provided by Lancer were placed behind it. They were the first and last batches of assault rifles of the Third Reich. A group of people who seemed to have come for the painting immediately became interested and were willing to pay for it.

The production of the MKB42H in front was over 45, but the STG in the back was only ! At least on the surface, there were only ! The bidding speed of these people almost never stopped, and the host's speaking speed was under great test.

"214, 19; 18, 195000; 262, 20; 18, 205000; 417, 21; 43, 209000; Oh! No. 214, 30; 18, 305000; 43, 309999; 18, 315000; 43, 319999; 214, 40, cough cough cough..." The host, who spoke too fast, choked on his own saliva and didn't know whether his salary would be deducted.

In short, the price kept rising, and finally STG45 was bought by No. 43 for 699999. In the underground auction market, this was already a high price.

"Huh... I really didn't expect that I would see something so interesting at this kind of auction." Stark stroked his beard which was praised, and chose his words.

"In a normal auction, everyone knows each other and will give each other some wiggle room. Sometimes, even if there is a certain intention, they will hold back. But it's different here. Money speaks, and it's very direct and violent." Koko propped up her chin.

Although many people think that as the eldest princess of HCLI, she should be a giant like Stark, but in fact, from Koko's personal feeling, her identity is closer to Lancer's. After all, they are both salesmen on the front line.

Stark? Stark just had to wait in his office for the US Department of Defense to sign it.

The three of them chatted idly. Anyway, they were not very interested in most of the exhibits until the auction of the 20 coins of unknown origin began.

"5 each, 20 pieces in total, starting price 100 million, please make your bids!" The host had just finished speaking when he saw a bid pop up on the electronic screen behind him, "No. 541, 200 million!"

"Are you planning to kill the competition from the beginning?" Stark watched Lancer gesture towards Springfield before the previous auction was over. Springfield had no intention of stopping him and directly pressed the price of 200 million.

"Because I don't like that kind of excitement, the plain and simple life is the real one." Lanser shrugged. The host on the screen had already dropped the hammer, announcing that No. 541 had successfully won the 20 coins.

"After deducting the auction price, you still have to pay out some money." Fei Ma glanced at Lan Se and thought, forget it, since he wanted it, then she would buy it.

"Commander, there are vehicles of unknown forces gathering near the hotel." The voice of Brother Sixteen rang out. The drone they released observed the arrival of a series of vehicles.

"Stay tuned." Lanser tapped the headset and exchanged a glance with Koko. Koko immediately realized that some of the permanent projects in the other world might be about to happen. After all, where there are people, there is the world, and where there is the world, there are grudges. Now that grudges have come, why not kill the opponent and keep it for the New Year?

"This is the common fate of those of us unlucky people in the deep inner world after our identities and positions are exposed." Lansher said helplessly. There was no need for others to talk about it. Aren't Koko and Lansher themselves being chased and blocked on a daily basis? The only difference was that in general, the two of them would lead their subordinates to kill their way through the enemy's encirclement, or just pin the enemy to death. After all, to exchange fire with an arms dealer would really mean that the other party was out of their minds. Arms dealers were very clear about this, so even if they were in a competitive relationship, they would rarely fight unless the other party crossed the line.

"Originally, I didn't quite understand." Stark took a deep breath. Although the situation might be a little different, the experience of being kidnapped this time allowed Stark to come into contact with a world that he had never been able to access before. Many thoughts burst into his mind.

"No... you still don't understand now." Lancer laughed. If Stark really figured it out, he wouldn't have simply shut down his own weapons factory. It was just like Wang the Butcher decided to put down his butcher knife and decided that the whole village would stop eating meat and follow him to be vegetarian. "If you can figure it out, the world will really change a little."

In a sense, the rise of Hammer Industries in Iron Man 2 was almost the inevitable result of Stark cutting off his own arms department. The demand was there.

The military expenditure is hundreds of billions a year, not to mention the proportion of Stark Industries in the entire NATO system. If Stark doesn't do it, naturally someone else will do it.

It should also be said that the entire military will urge all arms dealers to fill this gap. After all, the US military is the most important pillar supporting America's world hegemony. If this pillar collapses, it will really be a catastrophe. Therefore, it is necessary to find someone to replace it before Stark's equipment is consumed.

"..." Stark glanced at Lancer. He had a very strange feeling. Lancer was very familiar with him. Many of his words were just right. However, he really couldn't remember any contact with the guy in front of him. Lancer himself denied that they had met before. "Maybe it's not too late to start now."

"No... take a closer look. Really, take a closer look. The truth of the world is far more complicated than you currently understand." Lanser shook his head. "Two days ago, I was dancing the cha-cha with vampires and werewolves in an ancient castle in Ukraine."

"!" Koko looked up at Lancer. The sound of the battleship firing at full force was not just a little bit. It was a major event that directly triggered the mobilization of the Ukrainian army, and it directly disrupted the arm wrestling between the CIA and the KGB in Ukraine. Everyone was investigating this matter. Although it seemed that SHIELD had said something recently, Koko didn't know the specific information. So this is what happened...

Koko's eyes flickered, and when she turned her head again, she saw Fei's mother looking at her with a half-smile. Koko quickly showed her innocent and harmless business smile.

Fei Ma smiled noncommittally, turned slightly sideways, took the glass of wine from Lansel's hand, took a sip, it's not a bad thing to show off one's strength occasionally.

"..." Stark was about to open his mouth to laugh at Lancer and refute him, but suddenly closed his mouth again. Not long ago, he witnessed the close combat between Binjiang and Wenwu! The two of them ravaged the entire camp like a hurricane, and the scene of the sky collapsing and the earth cracking was everywhere. "Speaking of which, the lady with long hair..."

"Miss Binjiang is tired and is resting now." Chuntian interrupted Stark very directly. Although it is said that the fewer people around the commander, the better, this does not prevent her from disliking Stark. How dare you dislike my commander? Have you had enough of living?

"The battle this morning was indeed quite exhausting. It's time to take a shower and go to bed now," Lancer said with a smile.

"Ah... sneeze!" Binjiang, who was sitting there drinking a little wine, wrinkled his face with a weird expression. What the hell, can I catch a cold? "Commander, are you nagging me again? There are so many supplies here, there is no shortage of wine and water!"

"Maybe he missed you, lady~" Brother Sixteen, who was in charge of monitoring the surroundings, teased Binjiang. SOPII and RO were working hard with AR15. The commander had decided to sleep on the floor with them at night, so they were busy tidying up the place. M4 was comparing intelligence to see if there was anything missed.

"Speaking of which, can you tell me your story? How did the commander come up with such a huge fortune?" Binjiang lay on the back of the sofa, stretched out his slender and voluptuous long legs, hooked the wine gourd on the armrest of the sofa on the other side, bit open the cork, and took a sip.

"Our story? How does it begin when we inexplicably came to this world with the commander?" Sister Sixteen looked at Binjiang in front of her, and Binjiang nodded. That's right, she didn't want to miss any of Lan Se's experience.

"Well, probably after meeting Fei Ma, they fought to grab Lancer, but they didn't gain any advantage in front of Fei Ma, who let them go, and then Lancer, who woke up, called them to stop." Sixteenth Brother curled his lips, "You guys are too strong.

"The commander in the middle rubbed his eyes and thought he was dreaming!" SOPII threw himself to the other side of the sofa and said loudly, "Then he lay back down! Everyone stopped at once."

"Hahahaha...you're lying back down? Are you sure?!"

"Yes!"

1-95 Commander, please take a good rest

“3 million!”

"Pfft...cough..."

"Hahaha……"

It was the turn of the Vibranium auction, and each family began to prepare to bid for this rare good thing. At that moment, they were all dumbfounded. In front of the real rich man Stark, the people of the underground world seemed a little unpresentable!

I can only say that he is indeed a rich man. He showed Lancer what it means that I am giving you a price you can't afford. He directly raised the price of vibranium, which was originally only $6 per gram, to times the price, truly killing the game instantly.

There was just one small problem. Lancer had initially planned to purchase the product in partnership with Stark, and he planned to buy about 500 grams. According to Lancer's estimate, even if the price was 100% higher, it would only be 3000 million. But now, the price has been increased to million, which is almost half of Lancer's working capital.

This made Lancer a little nervous. After all, when Stark gave the price, it was based on

The calculation was based on his financial resources, without considering Lanser's purchasing power at all. Although it was not that he could not afford the money, Lanser felt that such a high price actually made Lanser a little speechless.

"Oh, don't worry. That's how much you told me you needed." Stark looked at the speechless Lancer with a smile on his face. Finally, the guy who just lectured him embarrassed himself in front of him. Stark felt that the 3 million... was worth it!

"500 grams." This is more than three times the demand reported by SOPII. After all, you never have too much of good things, right?

"This is for you." Stark waved his hands, "Let's go, let's go back to sleep, I'm not interested in the rest of this monkey show." Stark was in a good mood, put on the mask, and turned around to leave. All his current funds were temporarily lent to him by Koko, but considering Stark's family background, this 3 million was just an upgrade from a drop in the bucket to a handful of hair.

Lancer and Koko naturally had no objection. This auction brought them a lot of benefits. Lancer sold two assault rifles in exchange for some coins that made him excited. As for Koko, the money she lent to Stark was naturally not for free. In addition to the interest, Stark further owed her a favor. The early departure of the three did not attract many people's attention. After all, at such an auction, leaving early or later was a natural choice for safety and other considerations.

"By the way, these are earplugs. You can consider wearing them when you sleep at night." Lancer handed two noise-canceling earplugs to Stark.

"Does Mr. Lancer have to play another role besides being an arms dealer?!" Stark looked at Lancer and frowned.

"I don't deny that I like to rob other thieves, but usually the other party has to make the first move and give me the opportunity." Lancer instantly understood what Stark meant, smiled bitterly and shook his head. Being too clean and too kind is not a job for them. Since he is eating this bowl of rice, Lancer doesn't care whether he is slandered all over the world. "Besides, I am exhausted tonight, so I will definitely stay in my room and have a good rest at night."

"So what does this mean?" Stark watched SOPII walk out of Lancer's room and put a pair of noise-canceling headphones on the chair at the door of his room. Yes, it was the chair where Lancer had placed the documents before.

"I just received a notice from my subordinates that there are many unidentified vehicles outside the hotel. You heard it." Lancer glanced at Stark. Even now, Stark was in a very insecure state, so Lancer and Koko basically did not make any arrangements behind his back.

"So it will probably be very lively outside the hotel today." Lanser shrugged, "So I can sleep better if I bring it with me."

"Thank you. If you really have it, I will use it." Stark nodded, indicating that he accepted Lancer's kindness.

"Then I wish you a sweet dream. If nothing else, I will probably leave and return to the ship tomorrow morning. Koko, don't forget about the business!" Lan Se turned his head and reminded Koko. After all, this was a business worth at least tens of millions. If Koko was a little more ruthless, she might be able to get a total price of over 100 million US dollars.

"Ah... bastard, I've already made arrangements. Just remember to send your stuff to the designated warehouse." Koko took a deep breath and told herself frantically that she was a lady. Fortunately, after hearing her assurance, Lansher turned around and left without saying a word.

"Then Mr. Stark, we'll see you tomorrow morning. Oh, by the way, my men will be patrolling the streets. This is not directed at you, please don't mind." Koko said with a smile. "If something really happens, at least we have some time to react."

"Oh, so you mean I can go out and buy a plane ticket back to the United States directly?" Stark crossed his arms and looked at Koko.

"Of course." Koko agreed immediately, "That would just be a failed investment for me, but it would be embarrassing."

"A failed investment?" After hearing this answer, Stark smiled and nodded. After all, he had experienced a lot and understood very well that there was no such thing as sudden kindness. The judgment made out of interests was indeed reasonable. "Thank you for rushing in to save my life. Don't worry, this will not be a failed investment."

Then Stark closed the door, took off his mask, and fell on the bed. "Investment?" Stark murmured while looking at the ceiling. He felt a little lonely at this moment, and he missed Pepper.

In the next room, Lanser had been pushed into the bathroom by Fei's mother. After a day of tossing and turning, Lanser had not had a good rest. Fei's mother decided to turn off the lights and go to bed. She would rush Lanser into bed after he finished his shower. If anyone dared to disturb Lanser's rest, she would open the window and throw him out.

"Commander has already sold all of his shares of Stark Industries and Stark Industries-related stocks, but the price is still falling. Should we buy now while the market is low and prepare to sell?" AR15 asked quietly. This matter must be finalized as soon as possible, otherwise the money will be eaten alive in the financial market.

"Buy it. The pattern during this period is easy to guess, and we have first-hand information, so there is no need to worry about buying the wrong thing." Fei's mother thought about it and made a decision for Lancer. "The M4 surveillance is more reliable. Don't let anyone get too close.

It’s better to be careful.”

"Yes!" M4 nodded. The surveillance nearby has been going on all the time, and John and the others have arranged shifts. Even if the auction is about to end, they will not evacuate completely. Anyway, they will be on the ship tomorrow and have plenty of time to sleep.

"By the way, Aunt Fei, aren't you going to give the things to the commander?" Binjiang pointed to a small box next to SOPII. SOPII stretched out her hand and patted it to indicate that the box contained ten armbands that were stripped from Wenwu.

Lancer had actually seen it, but the girls didn't say anything, so Lancer just glanced at it and walked away without opening the box. After all, for him, it was normal for girls to do some fancy things, especially when the box was placed next to SOPII. Lancer had no interest in understanding it because there was a high probability that it would explode.

"Not for the time being. Although it looks safe here, there are too many people here and the commander will definitely want to try it out. It's better to go back to our ship first. After all, our commander will definitely want to play with it after getting it. If we give it to him and don't let him experiment, that would be a bit miserable. And for confidentiality, we have to be on our own ship. After we sail to the high seas, we can start to tossing around without restraint." Fei Ma touched her chin and expressed her thoughts, then glanced at the female hero Binjiang in Lanser's mouth, "Just drink a few sips, you'll go to sleep in the corner with the smell of alcohol."

"Okay, okay! The Iron-blooded Emperor has spoken. If you don't give the things to the Commander, I will put them away first." Maybe Fei's mother's threat was really effective. Anyway, Binjiang put away his wine gourd with a flat mouth, then stood up and put away the box containing the ten rings. Then he saw Chuntian coming out of the bathroom, "Eh? So fast?"

"The commander is already very sleepy, so just take a simple shower. It's best to get a good night's sleep for the commander's health." Haruta said softly.

"Ha! You always say that. Every time the commander does something bad, you are the first one to jump on him." SOPII on the side whispered to sabotage, obviously dissatisfied with Haruta's inconsistency.

Chuntian immediately glared at them. They hoped that the commander would have a good rest! But if the commander wanted it, could they refuse? !

"Okay, have a good rest today and don't make fun of others. This guy probably only has the strength to touch." Fei's mother put on a gentle smile. Lanser almost fell asleep in the car on the way to the Continental Hotel, which made Fei's mother feel distressed. "I'm not kidding."

"Are you kidding?" Lanser looked at Fei's mother with a strange expression, "By the way, have the things I bought today been delivered?"

"It has been delivered. Koko's subordinates have delivered the coins that you, Commander, bought. But what's the use of this thing? It cost two million. It can't be an impulse purchase." Brother Sixteen looked at Lanser curiously, and SOPII also looked at Lanser and showed the coins to Lanser.

"To be honest, after I saw the dimension that time, I had a strange feeling. I don't know what it is used for, or how to use it. Anyway, you put it away, right?" Lanser shook his head and played with it for a while. He felt nothing at all. Among the dimensions he saw, one of them was trying very hard to collect these coins. What was its specific function... well, let's not talk about it for now.

Lansher didn't know whether he could use it, but since he had encountered it, he would make sure it was used first and worry about the rest later.

"Okay! It's all ready. Do you want to take a look? If not, just go to sleep! Whose turn is it today?" Fei's mother yawned and stretched, revealing her perfect figure.

"RO! My knight princess."

"You, you, you...you rude guy! You, you, you! How can you not follow martial ethics! Let go! Ugh..."

"Oh~ Knight Princess is going to collapse again!

"SOPII, shut up!"

1-96 They set off
