Chapter 43: Honored Guests
Lincoln Street is also located in a remote area, where a large number of human residents used to live, but due to the impact of the catastrophe, human fertility is getting weaker and weaker, the once lively Lincoln Street is in a semi-deserted state, most of the houses are no longer inhabited, and the management of that area by the mechanical people is also quite lax, and the monitoring is much less.
After Chen Bing arrived near the Lincoln Street area, he did some simple cross-dressing in the unmonitored area and put on a clown mask.
While cleaning his backpack at the market, Chen Bing found a merchant who sold game information and spent some money to buy information related to the underground dance party.
For players who often enter the city of the future, the underground dance party is no secret, but it is not easy to get an invitation to the underground dance party, and it basically depends on luck.
And without an invitation, it is impossible to violently enter the underground ball.
Each underground invitation indicates a different place to enter, and even if you go to the underground dance party once, you will only have to go to the same place again.
196 Lincoln Street is an ordinary five-story residential building, and after Chen Bing confirmed that the house number was correct, he pressed the doorbell.
An old man dressed in gray opened the door, looked Chen Bing up and down, and then asked in a dumb voice, "Who are you looking for, guest?" ”
Chen Bing didn't speak, and handed over the invitation to the underground ball.
"Follow me."
The old man glanced at it, confirmed that the invitation was correct, and let Chen Bing into the room.
Chen Bing followed inside, into a corner deep in the house, the old man pressed on the wall, and a door opened on the wall, and inside was an elevator car that could only accommodate up to six people.
"Get in and the elevator will take you to the venue."
The old man said to Chen Bing, who glanced at him and walked inside.
The car door closed, Chen Bing felt slightly weightless, the elevator should be descending underground, but after a while, the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, and the elevator began to translate.
It took about three minutes for the elevator to stop with a ding.
The elevator door opened, and Chen Bing walked out, his eyes narrowing.
It looks like a subway station, but instead of a subway, there are plenty of elevator cars.
On the left and right sides of Chen Bing's position, there were twenty or thirty elevator car exits, and more than a dozen masked figures like him walked out of the elevators one after another.
In front of the elevator, there are dozens of maids of all colors, who, when they see someone coming out, will step forward and lead the guests to the underground ball venue in front of them.
When Chen Bing walked out, among the group of beautiful maids, a blonde beauty royal sister moved her eyes and walked over to Chen Bing.
"This guest, please show me your invitation."
The maid of the royal sister said respectfully to Chen Bing.
Chen Bing looked over and saw that the name of this beautiful royal sister was 'Prom Assistant No. 8', which seemed to be a kind of mechanical assistant.
"The invitation is confirmed, please come with me."
Chen Bing took out the invitation letter, and his assistant No. 8 took it, and after his eyes flashed, he handed the invitation back to Chen Bing and said with a smile.
Chen Bing followed, but he didn't go far before Chen Bing realized that something was wrong.
"Isn't the entrance to the venue just ahead, where are you taking me?"
Chen Bing stopped and asked, assistant No. 8 did not lead him into the door of the venue in front of him like other assistants.
"Of course it's a VIP room, your invitation is a VIP invitation, and I'll take you to VIP room 35 now."
Assistant No. 8 turned around and explained.
"VIP invitations? Isn't this invitation my ordinary invitation? ”
Chen Bing took out the invitation letter suspiciously, read it carefully again, and did not find any VIP words.
"Sorry, guest, this is indeed a VIP invitation, but only we can see it."
Assistant No. 8 said apologetically.
And such a setting?
VIP invitation, it seems that he is lucky, killing someone and blowing up a VIP invitation letter came out.
With VIP treatment, Chen Bing naturally would not dislike it, followed his assistant No. 8, walked into a gorgeous elevator, and came to a spacious VIP room on the second floor of the venue.
There are various fruits and equipment in the room, and the front of the room is a large piece of clear glass, so you can clearly see the lively venue below.
When Chen Bing entered the No. 35 VIP room, several people walked out of the elevator in front of the venue.
"It's finally here, this time I'm lucky to get a VIP invitation, and we can also taste what it's like to be a VIP at an underground dance party! The prom assistant over there, come and take us to VIP Room 35! ”
One of them shouted excitedly as soon as he got out of the elevator, causing many people around him to look sideways.
"Sorry guests, VIP Room 35 was destroyed last night due to a rat bite on the line, which caused a fire and is still unusable. Guests can attend the ball as a regular guest, or we will provide guests with a VIP invitation to the next ball. ”
A prom assistant walked over, she glanced at the VIP invitation, which looked much more luxurious on the outside, her eyes moved, and then she said very apologetically.
"Lounge 35 not available?"
"Rub, so unlucky!"
"What should I do?"
"What else can I do, the next underground dance party will be a month later, and I can only participate in it as an ordinary person."
When a few people heard this, they couldn't help but feel depressed.
But when this happens, they can only consider themselves unlucky.
In the No. 35 VIP room, after the prom assistant No. 8 brought Chen Bing in, he did not leave, but stayed in the VIP room.
"Number 8, do you have any privileges for the prom guests?"
After observing the surrounding environment, Chen Bing sat down on the sofa and asked his assistant No. 8, who was standing on the side.
"Absolutely. Prom guests have access to a dedicated assistant service who will be informed of a portion of the auction items in advance and will receive a 9% discount on the first item they sell. ”
Assistant No. 8 replied.
9% off the first item you photographed, this privilege is so-so.
"And what items will be auctioned tonight?"
Chen Bing touched his chin and asked.
"A variety of rare exoskeleton armor, mechs, their weapons, accessories, and some passes for special areas, and the finale is two powerful weapons that can be used in the future city. There's a partial list of items, but you'll only be able to see the list, not get their details, and the two weapons in the finale won't reveal any information until the end of the ball. ”
Assistant No. 8 said, and with a movement of her slender fingers, a virtual screen appeared in front of Chen Bing, with a list of dozens of lines of items.
Chen Bing looked over at a glance and found that they were all exoskeleton armor of various models and grades, weapons and core parts of mechas, each item only had a name, no specific purpose description, but it could appear on the item list, and the lowest was a B-level item.
In it, Chen Bing saw the multi-core computing chip, β-type thruster, advanced adaptive program core, power balancer and other parts that can be used in exoskeleton armor, which he may use in obsidian exoskeleton armor.
In addition to spare parts, Chen Bing also saw special items such as D-level regional temporary passes, C-level regional temporary passes, and even B-level regional temporary passes.
As for the two finale weapons mentioned by Assistant 8, they are only at the end of the list???? , not even the name is displayed.
"Distinguished guests, welcome to the Underground Ball!"
While Chen Bing was checking the list of items, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked out on the podium in front of the venue below, smiling and announcing.
