Chapter 104 Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty
To be able to pretend successfully, luck is not the key.
When you walk into a luxury store, the salesgirl looks down on you, and then calls to bring in several trucks of cash, forcing them to count the money on the spot...
This kind of thing is naturally unlikely to happen in reality.
As a clerk who has worked in a luxury store for a long time, you can naturally judge whether the customer has the spending power.
Besides, with the increasingly developed service industry today, even if the customer looks shabby, the staff will give basic respect in most cases.
So if you still want to pretend, what should you do?
Let's abstract the whole process of "pretending to be slapped in the face".
In short, there are two links:
"others' contempt" and "show of one's own strength".
As a person who suddenly appeared in the auction hall, Gao Yi was timid in bidding in the previous auction and showed all kinds of discomfort during the intermission.
Using the [actor] label, he successfully implanted an impression in the other guests present - this person wearing the Zhu Bajie mask does not belong to our circle.
In fact, choosing the Zhu Bajie mask is also to some extent to consolidate this impression.
How to show your strength?
It's not impossible to take out the game coins directly.
But financial resources alone are obviously not enough to scare the rich people at the auction.
When communicating with Zhao Qian yesterday, Gao Yi had already made preparations.
Since the other party said that he was familiar with the "moderator" of the forum, he should do more for him.
So, the notice of the completion of the bounty, which was very obvious in the forum, appeared on time this morning.
The last thing left was to find an unlucky person who was "slapped in the face".
This Ultraman man just shouted out, and there were no less than five people who had the same idea as him.
In order to let the other party take the initiative to mention the source of his game coins, Gao Yi also used a little simple guidance.
[What? I just earned a thousand game coins in the forum recently, is it not okay? ]
"Forum", "one thousand game coins", as keywords, let the other party mention the wanted order himself, adding another brilliance to his own stage of pretending.
Of course, if the other party didn't expect it, it doesn't matter. At most, Gao Yi can mention it himself.
In extreme cases, he could also take out the [Scarlet Raven Coat], but it would be a bit troublesome later.
In the end, with sufficient preparation and on-the-spot performance, Gao Yi completed a successful "pretending to be slapped in the face".
Of course, he did this because he wanted to "feel good".
After all, he spent so much effort and cost to kill a famous wanted criminal, it would be a pity that he didn't even have someone to talk to.
But there are two more important purposes.
First, it is to promote the popularity of his vest.
The news that Zhang Tu was killed will definitely spread. Instead of letting other players guess randomly and worrying about someone impersonating him, it is better to take the vest and take it.
[Investigator-Snake] is not famous yet, but it is obviously wanted by the Investigation Bureau.
With this [Investigator-Pig], it should be easier to conceal the truth and spread the fact that [Investigator] is an organization.
In the future, vests will be needed to appear, and transactions will appear more deterrent.
The second is to target this "Jiujiang Rock Music Society".
Even though he had already obtained a lot of information after entering the auction, Gao Yi still remembered his purpose.
[Investigate the background, organizational structure and name of the player group that held the "Super Treasure Appraisal Conference"]
[Confirm whether there is a person wearing a "moon necklace" at the auction site]
The first goal has been basically completed. At least Gao Yi can confirm the name of the other party's organization.
The second goal has also been preliminarily confirmed. With the observation bonus of [Armchair Detective], Gao Yi checked the accessories around the necks of the people present.
There are indeed a few ladies wearing necklaces, but the styles have nothing to do with "moon".
In theory, it is enough to report to Zhao Qian, after all, the other party's requirements have been basically met.
If the task is scored, it is now 70 points.
But Gao Yi still decided to explore it at the end.
This is of course not related to "professionalism" or "professionalism". He is not a professional detective, and the reward provided by Zhao Qian is not generous.
On the one hand, Gao Yi wanted to satisfy his curiosity and was going to find out what kind of organization this "Jiujiang Rock Music Society" was.
On the other hand, he also wanted to establish contact with these players from Jiujiang.
Even if we can't be friends, we should not be enemies.
An organization that can cross such a long distance, mobilize resources, and organize an auction, and the level of its members is not low.
Being able to reach a certain degree of cooperation with them should be beneficial to subsequent actions.
After settling the account, Gao Yi lay on the single sofa, ignoring the curious or vigilant eyes around him, and enjoyed the orange juice alone.
When the other guests in the auction gradually dispersed, the staff in cheongsam also packed up and left.
Gao Yi was invited to another room by the host Xian'er.
Walking on the road, Gao Yi chatted with the other party:
"By the way, did you choose these names yourself or did someone help you choose them?"
"It depends on the situation. Mine was chosen by Sister Tang anyway... I don't really like rock music."
Xian'er combed the hair beside her ears and took off the headset, with a hint of laziness in her posture.
She had obviously left that "working state", and her words were no longer passionate, becoming more "ordinary".
"Sister Tang?"
Gao Yi chewed on the title, judging from the other party's expression, it was a name, not a "cousin" of kinship.
"It's her... She wants to see you."
During the conversation, the two had walked to the end of this "VIP lounge area", outside a huge conference room.
Xian'er knocked on the door gently, waited for five seconds, and then slowly pushed it open.
Gao Yi's face was normal, but he had further focused his attention.
Following the other party into the conference room, the player called "Sister Tang" appeared in front of Gao Yi.
On the swivel chair in the office, bathed in the sun, was a woman.
About 25 years old, dressed gorgeously and fashionably, with a variety of shining accessories.
But what instantly attracted Gao Yi's attention was not these ordinary things.
The woman's face was covered with a paper mask with elaborate floral decorations and bright colors.
It seemed to be a fox?
What made Gao Yi even more sure that he had found the right person was that there was a necklace hanging around her neck.
A moon necklace.
Undoubtedly, it was the kind that Zhao Qian asked him to pay attention to.
Although covered by the mask, Gao Yi could still feel the other party's eyes wandering around him.
After thinking for a moment, he took off the Zhu Bajie mask on his face, slowly stood beside the conference table, and broke the silence:
"Do you... know Zhao Qian?"
The air suddenly sank, and Gao Yi felt that the temperature in the room had dropped by several degrees.
"What is your relationship with that bastard?"
The woman's voice was quite pleasant, but at this moment there was a hint of surprise.
As expected, he guessed right again this time.
Gao Yi smiled, pulled out an office chair, and sat down opposite "Sister Tang":
"I think we should have a lot of common topics."
.....................
The score has risen to 7.5 points, which is worth celebrating.
Thank you all for your support!
