Chapter 62 Are those members of the Sea Abyss Clan?
Pei Hening secretly observed [get rich, get rich, get rich].
I want to see how he reacts when he discovers that the [time fluctuation] is missing!
A little while later, [Get Rich, Get Rich, Get Rich] raised his wrist to check the time—[Fluctuating Time] was gone!
The color drained from his handsome face, his lips were tightly pursed, and he looked at his wrists in disbelief several times, only to find them empty!
He suddenly looked up, his expression anxious! He scrutinized the players present with obvious suspicion in his eyes! He felt that no one was right!
Before [Get Rich, Get Rich, Get Rich] could even look over, Pei Hening had already looked away and continued sipping her champagne.
Some players noticed that [发财发财发财] looked off and asked, "Brother 发财, what's wrong?"
His expression was grim, and his voice was low: "My watch is missing. It was a keepsake my father left me before he passed away. Has anyone seen it? I'm willing to pay to get it back."
"Brother Fortune, what are the distinctive features of your watch?"
"It's a watch with a snake pattern, very unique!"
[Get Rich, Get Rich, Get Rich] wanted to ask other players for help in finding [Fluctuating Time], but didn't want to reveal that it was an item, so he made up a lie.
He was on edge, silently reviewing the series of events that had occurred since he stepped into the VIP room. He had met more than a hundred people, added thirty-seven players as friends, and borrowed the luck points from four players to raise his own luck points to twenty...
He suspected that [the fluctuating time] was stolen by one of the more than one hundred players he had contacted!
[Get rich, get rich, get rich] He never doubted the dessert from beginning to end, after all, his luck stat was so high that receiving gifts was commonplace for him!
At this moment, the NPC who had been attacked by Li Pangui earlier walked in with Ryan and headed straight for the injured female player.
The female player's hand injury has been treated, and she is now sitting next to the aunt who bandaged her hand.
The NPC spoke up: "Manager Ryan, this is the guest who is injured."
Ryan greeted the female player, took out his tools, and began inspecting the damaged rest chair.
—His test results showed that the rest chair itself was not the problem; the rest chair broke because the player accidentally scratched the magic runes engraved on the bottom of the chair while sitting on it.
Ryan was prepared to pay compensation for the losses, and when he saw the result, he had mixed feelings.
"Guest, you have seen the reason for your injury—we can only offer you 50 copper coins as humanitarian compensation."
Li Pangui took a sip of basic healing potion, walked up to Ryan, and questioned, "Isn't 50 copper coins a bit too little?"
Ryan, with a sullen face, picked up a perfectly good lounge chair and turned it over in front of them, showing them the location of the engraved magic runes: "I can completely suspect that this guest is trying to scam me."
Everyone fell silent—the location of the engraved magic pattern was indeed very tricky.
Even the injured female player was speechless, because she suddenly realized that the scratch was accidentally left by the ring on her hand when she was checking the structure of the rest chair.
Li Pangui noticed the female player's guilty conscience, pressed his temples in annoyance, and said, "50 copper coins it is."
Pei Hening silently watched the commotion over there, then turned her gaze to Li Pangui, whose sister seemed to be constantly losing blood.
She had only been back in the VIP room for a short time when she saw that she had drunk three bottles of basic healing potion!
Treatment potions aren't easy to prescribe, so the fact that she can drink them like water shows she's quite capable!

9:50
A group of male and female NPCs in uniforms walked in and offered to take them aboard the cruise ship to see the auction preview.
The NPC accompanying Pei Hening is a female undead named Abe.
Abe took her to the preview hall on the cruise ship.
When Pei Hening stepped into the preview hall, she noticed a small blessing in her status: a two-hour countdown.
Abe explained, "The big boss set up a blessing in the exhibition hall, which can relieve fatigue and refresh the mind."
Pei Hening nodded. "Your boss is quite thoughtful; he even thought of this."
The preview hall was softly lit, with luminescent stones embedded in the walls that directed the light from the stones onto each item in the auction.
Looking at the auction items separated by the magic crystal, Pei Hening couldn't help but exclaim, "Abe, can you tell me about the auction items here?"
She pointed to a pink necklace through the magic crystal: "Let's start with this necklace."
Abe stepped forward and introduced it to her: "This is the [Mutual Destruction] that Wendy consigned for auction. It is made from top-grade fire ore. When wearing [Mutual Destruction], if your own health drops to 1 during battle, you will deal 20 times the damage to your opponent. It can only be used once. The starting bid is 50 gold coins."
Pei Hening shared this message on the Highway School channel.
The two walked up to a purple earring. Abe said, "This is the epic weapon [Sacrifice], which was made by Master Galakh in his early years. [Sacrifice] has two forms. In earring form, the recovery speed of health and mana is increased by 20%. In longsword form, strength is increased by 20, agility by 15, and intelligence by 10. It is an upgradeable weapon. The starting bid is 300 gold coins."
Pei Hening had just shared the message when she looked up and saw Pingyuan, who was accompanied by a staff member who was introducing the auction items to her.
When Pingyuan saw her, her eyes lit up. She quickly walked over and asked in a low voice, "Dibi Dibi, you're here too? Do you still have that kind of power potion you gave me last time?"
Pei Hening suddenly felt strange being called by her online name. She felt so embarrassed that she wanted to grovel. Luckily, Ping Yuan's voice was soft, otherwise it would have been even more awkward!
She replied in a low voice, "Also, let's talk about it at school tomorrow. We need to focus on our important business first."
After dismissing Pingyuan, she saw two blonde, blue-eyed female players talking quietly not far away—they were Westerners.
Pei Hening suddenly thought of the two female players from the highway school who were also participating in the auction: [Find Me Just to Learn English] and [Barbara].
She took Abe away from the two of them before continuing to learn about the auction items.
Abe pointed to a thick book: "This is the logbook of the former monarch of the Abyss Clan. It has no special effects. The starting bid is one thousand gold coins."
Abe lowered his voice and continued, "These are auction items specifically chosen for the Abyss Clan, used to swindle money from them."
Pei Hening observed her surroundings and spotted a tall, beautiful woman of a different race with long, deep blue hair that flowed like the sea. She was dressed in a formal gown. She whispered to Abe, "Is that a member of the Sea Abyss Clan?"
Abe nodded and subconsciously said, "Yes, the Abyss Clan has just gone through a war, and it's a sensitive time. You shouldn't go against them."
Seeing that Pei Hening was about to press for more information, Abe quickly changed the subject: "Let me continue introducing the auction items to you."
