53. Ability to grow

In the display cabinet next to it is an old porcelain bowl. Li Du noticed earlier that this bowl came from the RB Warring States Period and has been around for more than 400 years. It is one of the highlights of this auction.

The little bug walked through the tempered glass display cabinet without any obstacles, flew in, and stopped on the bowl, then placed its mouth on the mouth of the bowl and greedily sucked something.

Li Du stood by and watched strangely, and soon his feelings changed.

It seemed that something was pouring into his body, making him feel a little refreshed. In addition, he clenched his fists and felt that his strength seemed to be getting stronger.

After pausing on the bowl for a few seconds, the worm flew again and swung its wings to another showcase.

In this showcase is an 18th-century nautical clock with bronze texture and ancient style. The little bug also put his mouth on the clock and greedily sucked something again.

Li Du could only vaguely feel what it was sucking, but he didn't know what it was.

Leaving the clock, the little insect flew to a silver statue again, and Li Du followed him. Needless to say, the little insect flew up and sucked again.

A few seconds later, it flew to a medieval English longbow. After sucking this time, it did not look for auction items, but flew in the air as if stretching, and then flew to Li Du's shoulders.

At this moment, the yewed bow of the English longbow suddenly broke into two pieces, and fell from the stand, and after falling onto the display cabinet, it broke into several pieces like glass.

A couple who were watching the longbow in front of the display cabinet was startled, and the woman opened her mouth and shouted, "Ah! Ah! What's going on?!"

Li Du subconsciously retreated, and everyone around him was crowded, so he retreated to the side without hesitation.

The wind was light on his face, but the wind was surging in his heart. He knew very well that the change of the longbow must be related to the little insect!

There were many people from auction companies at the scene. The security supervisor and manager walked quickly, and then they saw the changes in the Changbow. They were stunned at the same time.

The couple waved their hands together and left themselves: "We don't know what's going on, but suddenly the bow and arrow broke and broke into several pieces.

After hearing this, the manager smiled and comforted the couple, and then ordered the security supervisor: "Hurry up, go to the monitoring room and see what's going on!"

Each display cabinet has a camera for monitoring, with the purpose of accidents.

Li Du felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't get rid of this matter, but no one knew this.

Those who participated in the auction were collectors, and there were experts. An old man with silver hair looked carefully and frowned and said, "It seems that the bow and arrow are aging and broken wood caused by natural weathering."

Li Du looked at the porcelain bowl and the navigation clock. He felt that the porcelain bowl was no longer as smooth and beautiful as when he first saw it, and the navigation clock was no longer simple, but shabby.

He suddenly had a thought in his mind, was the little insect absorbing the vitality of these items just now?

In front of the Longbow Showcase, the security supervisor quickly returned with an IPAD and gave the surveillance video to the manager and the old man to watch.

The old man looked and said, "It starts from here, in five seconds, it suddenly and quickly becomes, becomes, and becomes aging?"

The manager said blankly: "Yes, it seems that the time in the display cabinet has not passed five seconds but five hundred years, but how could this happen?"

"Is someone releasing peroxidized gas into the display cabinet? The rapid oxidation will cause the wood to age rapidly." The security supervisor said with a serious expression.

The manager's face changed and he said, "Go and check other exhibits!"

The other auction items were not broken, which made the manager and others feel relieved.

Someone discovered the changes in the porcelain bowl, navigation clock and silver statue, saying, "They seem to be aging a little bit earlier."

The security personnel immediately dispatched all the people who were watching the fun around them one by one. Obviously they suspected that someone was scrambling to do damage.

However, because the people present were either rich or noble, and there was no definite evidence that someone was slapping, the auction company did not dare to imprison them and could only send them away first to prevent the auction items from being further damaged.

Li Du walked out, and he was still recalling the manager and the old man's words in his heart. They said that these things had aging problems in a short period of time.

So, will the insects suck away not some vitality, but the time for these things?

This guess scared him, but it was the most reliable guess.

Playboy and Hans then walked out, and they were taken to another hall in the hotel to rest, and the auction company prepared drinks and snacks.

Drinking the juice casually, Li Du saw the manager walking in, first bowed, and then apologized that the auction would be suspended due to an accident.

Everyone immediately made complaining voices, and the manager kept apologizing, and people began to leave in groups of three or three.

Li Du got up and wanted to leave, and then he turned his head and was stunned to see the little insect lying dormant on his shoulder!

Subconsciously, he asked Hans, "How long have we been out?"

Hans said: "Who knows, I didn't look at the time."

The playboy smiled and said, "22 minutes, it was ten:25 when we came out, and now it was forty-seven."

Li Du found a reason casually, and he was very surprised. From this point of view, it would take a total of twenty-five and six minutes for Xiao Chong to appear in the exhibition hall.

And he is just a little tired now and is not very tired. You know, just yesterday when he was practicing controlling the insect, he could only let it come out for eighteen minutes!

The little insect absorbed the auction items and enhanced his ability to control the little insect.

Or, it increased his energy.

After leaving the hotel, the playboy invited them to lunch. Because Li Du was Chinese, he invited the two to a Chinese restaurant for dinner.

Flagstaff City's catering industry is very developed, after all, there are several universities supporting the consumer market.

The Chinese restaurant is called Yuchen. When Li Du saw this name, he took a breath. The boss is so brave that he dared to give his own restaurant such a domineering name.

The restaurant decoration uses Chinese style, porcelain, landscape paintings, pictures of ladies from the Tang and Song dynasties, as well as festive red lanterns and Chinese knots, which is indeed very good at fooling Americans.

They sat down without ordering the meal first, and the playboy asked, "Did that bastard Andrew lose to you a valuable piece of news? Did he give it to you?"

Hans shrugged, "Not yet, but we are not in a hurry."

The playboy took out his cell phone and called, saying, "We must urge him, this guy is a famous deadbeat!"

He deliberately disgusted Andrew, but Andrew had a tough temper. He refused to lose face in front of the playboy. He immediately asked Hans to answer the phone and said something.
