Chapter 136: Strange Sounds and Sensitivity to Intelligent Plants
West District of the Empire, Rose Entertainment Hall on a Winter Night.
As a high-end entertainment club owned by the Kula family, it used to be just a place to quietly entertain distinguished guests.
However, before seven o'clock in the evening, the lights were already on and cars were coming and going.
The underground garage seemed like a bottomless abyss, with VIP cars driving into it one after another. On the ground, attendants in uniform came and went, ushering the VIPs into the club in an orderly manner.
blah blah blah!
In the corridor, a beautiful woman with black hair and blue eyes and a cold-blooded man holding a child walked in front. Behind them, several tall plainclothes guards followed closely.
The attendant escorted the person to the VIP room on the third floor, said a few words as instructed by Chief Kula, and then respectfully left the box.
Hearing the sound of people leaving, the little girl who was covered tightly in a black cloak finally asked, "Great-grandmother, Tangtang, can you take off your cloak? I feel a little stuffy."
As she spoke, she twisted her body uncomfortably.
"Of course you can!"
Mrs. Dales said as she reached out and untied the cloak on her cub, exposing her head so she could get some fresh air.
It was not until the cloak left her body that Wen Chang let out a long sigh, "I was so suffocated along the way."
Mrs. Dales smiled and patted her head. "It's hard for my Tangtang, but this is also for Tangtang's safety."
"I know, great-grandma is doing this for Tangtang's own good."
Although it was the first time for Wen Shang to be a princess, after living in the royal family for so long, she had long understood that being a member of the royal family was not easy.
So, she just went out in plain clothes, but she had to bring her own guards and the Royal Guard to escort her.
The purpose of this is only one, to prevent enemy countries or people within the royal family who are dissatisfied with the royal family from carrying out assassinations for no reason.
What a hassle! It's like being a thief when I come out.
Wen Shang silently complained in her heart, but she didn't stop talking.
"But great-grandma, can we bring Aichi and the others over next time? They want to come out and play, too?"
People in the royal family have a lot to learn when they are young, not to mention that Aiqi and others, as companions of the Crown Princess, are confidants specially trained by the royal family for Wen Shang.
What they want to learn is even more diverse than Wen Chang, so they have never been to such a place before.
When they heard that Wen Chang could come, they all clung to her and wanted her to beg His Majesty and Mrs. Dales to bring them along next time they came out to open their eyes.
Studying every day is really going to tire me out.
Hum!
"Sure, as long as you can finish your homework early next time, you can come to your great-grandmother's house anytime you want."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Dales successfully saw the smile on the cub's face freeze for a moment.
She chuckled and covered her mouth.
Thinking of her never-ending homework, Wen Chang felt sad, but she still assured him positively, "...Tangtang will work hard."
She tried her best to finish the homework, but she couldn't guarantee the quality.
o (╥﹏╥) o
"Um"
Mrs. Dales smiled and touched her head again.
Wen Chang's hair has grown very fast since it started growing out, and is now almost above her shoulders.
"Your hair is growing a little too fast. Do you want me to go out and give you a princess hairstyle after we finish watching the auction?"
Seeing Wen Chang's eyes suddenly light up, Mrs. Dales knew that what she said hit the nail on the head. She looked at Mu Quan with a smile and said, "It just so happens that the Kula family has a small crown on the auction list this time. If we take it down, it will be perfect for Tangtang to wear."
Mu Quan sat at the edge of the sofa. Outside the armrest was a small round table with the remote control on it.
He adjusted the large screen in the box to show the two of them the list of auction items. This was the information that every VIP room had, the only difference was the level of detail.
The VIP Room No. 1 where Mrs. Dales and Wen Shang are located is naturally the most detailed.
Wen Chang spent the waiting time reading the introduction materials of the auction items one by one. With the last crisp knock on the plate, the auction held by the Kula family officially kicked off.
"Without further ado, the highest bidder wins. I hope all the guests will return with a full load."
The auctioneer was old but very imposing. As soon as he came on stage, he ended the opening neatly and started the auction.
"The first item to be auctioned today is a splash-ink landscape painting by Master Wen, a famous painter from Blue Star. The starting price is 100 million star coins."
"Add five million!" "Add eight million"
"Twenty million!"
"Two hundred million once, two hundred million twice, two hundred million three times! Congratulations to the Sfenti family for acquiring Master Wen's work..."
“So expensive!”
Wen Chang looked at the ink-splashed landscape painting that couldn't even tell what was painted on it, and felt like she was blind. This thing could actually be sold for 200 million, so wouldn't the painting she casually picked out be able to sell for hundreds of millions or even billions?
"Tangtang, do you think this painting is not worth it?"
Mrs. Dales did not criticize her for what she said, because in her eyes, no matter how powerful Master Wen was, he was not as useful as a mechanical manufacturer or mecha manufacturer.
"Yeah, because Tangtang couldn't understand what he was drawing."
If it is a modern ink-splashed landscape painting, no matter how abstract it is, you can still see the landscape in the painting.
But the works of that Master Wen really look like casual doodles, with strange shapes and look nothing like anything.
Wen Chang was very confused. Are all the paintings in the interstellar space so abstract?
But the teacher who taught her to paint was able to paint normally, and could paint both realistically and abstractly.
"Because he is from the Blue Star. To be more precise, he is a native of the oldest Blue Star."
Mrs. Dales explained to her why Master Wen's paintings sold for such high prices.
In fact, the reason is not complicated. Because Blue Star culture is popular in the interstellar space, there are always nobles who want to find the things left by Blue Star culture in order to pursue a high quality of life.
Master Wen is an indigenous inhabitant of the ancient Blue Star, an identity that gives him a "noble status". Similarly, because the culture of the Blue Star has been inherited and lost for hundreds of millions of years, that culture has already undergone earth-shaking changes.
Even if some things are still preserved, they may not still be in the hands of the humans of the Alliance of All Nations.
Therefore, in order to revitalize their culture, the people of Blue Star often use the "leftovers" that are still in their hands to innovate. This is why the ink-splashed landscape paintings circulating in the interstellar space are actually "strange and unrecognizable".
Wen Chang: Uh, uh, uh, although there is a reason, if those modern masters saw that painting, they would be so scared that they would vomit blood!
If there is no landscape in a splash-ink landscape painting, can it still be called a landscape painting?
cough!
Far away.
At the auction, in addition to the paintings that came from the Alliance of All Nations, there were also some specialties from other countries, such as seeds that can grow natural inhibitor fruits, enhanced gene modification fluid, rectangular coffins (actually a small space station that can be temporarily settled and rested in the mecha space), Mosasaur eggs... and so on.
By around nine o'clock in the evening, the auction had reached its climax.
The auctioneer standing on the auction table clapped his hands at this time, and a big hole immediately appeared under his feet, and then Changkong Yuanguan rose up.
This time they are auctioning off some of the rare intelligent plants in the universe.
The auctioneer was talking about the origin of the intelligent plant, but Wen Chang discovered something was wrong.
"Great-grandmother, did you hear any strange noises?"
Not sure if it was her illusion, Wen Chang looked at the intelligent plant pretending to be dead in the round tube in the sky, and she seemed to hear a small cry.
woohoo~
Going home~
woohoo~
So hungry!
Wen Chang felt very strange. It was ok to just hear a cry in her ear, but why did these two emotions that did not belong to her suddenly flash through her heart?
Strange! How strange!
