Chapter 7: Hurry up and get born, ok?

As said earlier, Gaia Star was a famous trade planet, and on a trading planet, the most important part was of course the various auction houses.

When inquiring about it, Xie Tao made sure to not ask too many questions and played it out as an normal conversation in order to avoid showing his abnormally lacking common sense.
　　
During their conversation, Xie Tao got to know that there was a "Star Network" in this world, which was equivalent Internet on Earth, however it was more powerful.

There was an old connector in the office where Xie Tao had applied for the job. Hearing that, he came up with an excuse to borrow it and he then used the old connector, that was the size of an ostrich egg, to get a lot of the information he needed.
　　
Just browsing quickly, it didn't take long before his eyes stopped on a line-

[Qi Zhen Plant Auction][1]
　　
There were seven trade planets known in the interstellar, each with its own characteristics. The most well-known point of Gaia Star was the special auctions that the planet often held.

These special auctions, such as the "Qi Zhen Plant Auction" that Xie Tao found, were not widely available, and since there were various connoisseurs in StarCraft, the special auctions focused on Starcrafts held on Gaia Star were tantamount to a carnival. Although the other auctions didn't have as large impact, the connoisseurs in that area certainly had the same enthusiasm.
　　
Therefore it could be said that as long as it was a connoisseur who appreciated rare plants, or even just rare objects, they would never miss an plant auction held on Gaia Star.

There were countless differences between the planets, including biological species. Knowing this, Xie Tao couldn't help but want to see the auction.

If he brought with him some plants from earth to this world, maybe they could be considered rare and valuable?

Xie Tao's fingers once again tapped wildly on the screen as he looked up the most common plants in this world, he then formed a general idea.
　　
The potted plants in his backyard were all broken and even if some plants were able to survive, it would take a lot of time to clean up. It was also troublesome to go out and buy a new plant. Xie Tao therefore put his eyes on the bonanzas, that unlike most of his plants, had survived and still stood firmly on the window sill of his house.

Holding a mentality of trying not to lose, Xie Tao returned to the earth and picked his most beautiful bonanza which had a blooming flower that resembled a pink lotus. He then returned to the other world.
　　
There was only one week until the auction and Xie Tao did not know what auctions rules were in this world. So he could only ask Xia Qi for an hour off and go to see for himself.

Xia Qi did not ask what Xie Tao was going to do and hearing his request, she directly nodded, granting him permission.
　
Holding the pot that he brought from earth, Xie Tao followed the route he had found on the Star Network and successfully reached the auction house he was looking for.
　　
Before the auction was officially held, the auction house called Soma was willing to accept commissions. Of course, in order to guarantee the quality of the auction, Soma auction house invited a professional connoisseur to set the threshold for the appraisers.

The threshold was very high, and the condition of "the quantity is scarce" was not enough. The rare plants that could be in the exhibition stand were basically variants, plants specially cultivated that had a very low probability to be live.

It was now Xie Tao's turn and he gave the plant to an employee that carefully received it.
　　
The entrusted object was then sent inside to identify it and judge whether it was qualified. When the employee came out again, she went up to another staff member and said a few words in the ear of the another. Xie Tao noticed that the polite smile on the staff member who received him seemed to become a bit wider.
