The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?
Chapter 822 - 557: Liu Zheng: You Two Bastards Set Me Up! (2)
CHAPTER 822: CHAPTER 557: LIU ZHENG: YOU TWO BASTARDS SET ME UP! (2)
It revealed the purpose of this item.
"How terrifying is it?"
That acquaintance of the Penguin Captain’s rear, Eber, chimed in.
"Scarier than your wife’s time of the month."
The Penguin Captain chuckled.
"Wow!"
Friends of Eber immediately stirred up a commotion.
Usually, the fearsome level of Mrs. Eber is already comparable to the Abyss Lord, and during her time of the month, even the Demon Lord has to retreat quite a distance.
Yet after the shock, no one bid for it.
"Why is no one bidding, isn’t Mrs. Eber impressive enough?"
Liu Zheng asked in confusion.
"I don’t know Eber, how would I know if his wife is impressive."
The French Plane Tree rolled his eyes.
"However, for the Captain to give such a comment, her strength must not be lacking."
"Then why is no one bidding?"
He asked.
"Anyone who can attend this auction, none of their strength would be lacking. Even if they’re not strong, they have a bunch of bodyguards and attendants; they surely don’t lack this kind of thing."
"Collectors aren’t very interested in offensive items, we pursue rarity and intrigue."
The French Plane Tree replied.
"Well, I think this trash can is actually quite interesting."
Liu Zheng smiled.
This trash can reminded him of a gag in reality regarding Ultraman.
In the Ultraman series Aix and Zeta, a monster named Void Monster Gliza appeared.
Not only is it powerful, but also unselectable. It only hits you, not the other way around, and a group of Ultramen labor under its attacks with great difficulty, getting wiped out without cheating.
And a monster named Four-dimensional Monster Bruton defeats it, then may summon a Gliza.
Therefore, some life-experienced Ultraman fans compare Bruton to a cosmic trash can.
When you knock over Bruton, the cosmic trash can, your mom, the universe, will collect you with a broom, aka Gliza.
"It indeed has some meaning, there should be someone bidding soon."
The French Plane Tree surprisingly agreed with his view.
Indeed, after waiting for about half a minute, the first collector raised their sign.
"I offer a pair of underwear."
Looking like some kind of mollusk, the collector took out a pair of crumpled underwear with mysterious yellow stains.
"Huh?"
Liu Zheng’s attention instantly focused.
Could this be the Legendary delivery man’s underwear?
If it is, then he has another must-have item.
"Do you need the identification service?"
As he pondered, the projector asked.
"Eh, you can identify items not your own bidding piece?"
Liu Zheng was a bit surprised.
"The identification service charged per time is not allowed, this is a special benefit for members."
The projector explained.
"Then that million spent was worth it. Tell me the identification result."
"Alright. Duke’s dirty underwear, when worn, makes others perceive you as a highly prestigious person, and you can designate someone to become your maid, unable to resist your lewd actions. But after the effect ends, their attack on you gains a bonus."
The projector introduced.
"Assistance plus control item, huh."
After hearing the effect, Liu Zheng was somewhat tempted.
The control effect is already very good, prestige in a place like the Metropolis where ranks are strict is also very useful.
With his connections plus the prestigious status, disguising himself as the Supreme Councilman’s father might be unrealistic, but posing as Star Fury could be doable.
If this item comes up for auction later, he could try to bid on it.
With the first bidder, others followed and raised their signs.
However, compared to the previous round, the competition cooled significantly.
Among the subsequent auction items, there was nothing that tempted Liu Zheng.
"Looking at this situation, I might as well try to bid."
His heart stirred slightly.
Collectors are uninterested in trash bins that aren’t very amusing, but Liu Zheng valued the trash bin’s practicality.
But what to use to bid?
Liu Zheng fell into thought.
"Forget it, let’s just take out something to delay some time, so it won’t be closed later."
He thought for a moment, then took out that pack of Mysterious Cigarette.
"I want to use this to bid."
He told the projector.
"Alright."
The projector took the cigarette and put it in the box.
Soon, the projection of the cigarette appeared in front of the Penguin Captain.
"Oh? It’s actually this."
The Captain’s eyes brightened.
"The Tobacco Master Li Tang Pearl made the last batch of cigarettes before his death, named the ’Humorous Life’ series. And this pack of Mysterious Cigarette, belongs to mid-to-high quality in the series, with only ten packs in total. Two packs have been buried with the owner, three packs have been damaged for various reasons, two packs entered the Ocean Empire, and one pack is in the hands of a Travel Mage, currently unknown in which space-time."
"There are two remaining packs, one is in the belly of my brother Rick. Rick, would you be willing to take out your pack for auction?"
The Captain asked.
Rick said nothing, just made a cross with his fin.
"Everyone saw it, now the collection value of this Mysterious Cigarette has increased again."
The Captain smirked.
"I have a question."
A collector raised a sign, but not for bidding, rather to ask.
"Go ahead."
"Isn’t the ’Humorous Life’ series of cigarettes all paired with lighters? Where’s the lighter?"
The collector asked.
"The bidder only took out the cigarettes; however, I can ask for you."
The Captain said.
"Mr. Liu, the host asks if you have the matching lighter."
The projector immediately conveyed.
"I do."
Liu Zheng replied.
"The bidder says he indeed has the matching lighter in his hand."
The Captain told everyone present.
"Then take them out together, already swapped the cigarettes, what’s he going to do with the lighter in hand?"
The collector said carelessly.
"People take out what they want to bid with, how is it any of your business? Without matching, it’s useless, yet you haven’t skimped on collecting those leftover parts."
The Captain rolled his eyes and said.
"Hahaha."
Everyone erupted in laughter once again.
"What leftover parts, those are collections that haven’t reunited yet. How could you call them leftover parts for collectors..."
The collector mumbled gibberish, reluctantly sitting down.
"Mr. Liu, I suggest you now add the Cunning Lighter as a bidding piece. Just the Mysterious Cigarette might not get the trash bin, this round might be a failure."
The projector suddenly said.
"Did your boss ask you to convey that to me?"
Hearing the last sentence, Liu Zheng raised his eyebrow.
The projector smiled lightly, saying nothing further.
"Alright, let’s add it."
He took out the Cunning Lighter and handed it to the projector.
Soon, the projection of the lighter appeared next to the cigarette.
"Alright, the bidder has added the Cunning Lighter as a bidding piece, now it’s matched. Anymore bids?"
The Captain asked.
Asked repeatedly, but no one responded.
After the countdown, it entered the final stage once again.
"The seller agreed to the bid, congratulations to both parties for a successful exchange."
The penguin was delighted, with two consecutive auction rounds not ending in failure, and both the auction and bidding pieces having considerable collection value, it seems this would be a successful auction.
The second round of auction ended, the cigarette and lighter were sent to the auction, while the trash can was transported to Liu Zheng.
He pinched his nose hole and picked up the trash can, and the item description popped up immediately.
"Name: Your Mom’s Trash Can (Disposable)"
"Type: Prop"
"Quality: Excellent"
"Effect: When knocked over or damaged, summons a powerful resentful spirit, continuously pursuing the culprit and imposing terrifying punishment. Culprit’s death or after three minutes, the resentment targets the player themselves."
"Note: Look at the foolish thing you’ve done, you idiotic madman! It’s over, my mom found us!"
"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"
"Not? How can it change targets, you didn’t mention this just now?"
Looking at the item effect, Liu Zheng exclaimed he was duped.
Moreover, there’s no duration limit, meaning if the enemy isn’t dealt with in three minutes, he ends up with an additional enemy.
No wonder others had little interest in bidding.
"You two bastards manipulated me!"
Liu Zheng cursed the Penguin Captain and French Plane Tree in his heart.
