Chapter 86: Cheating Auctioneer
Han Zhou smiled and picked up Lin Fan's metal before he gasped with suspicion. Lin Fan's metal was only Oak Sheet Metal, but it appeared to have reached the fifth rank. Han Zhou's incredulity was followed by a sly smile, though, as he sighed and put Lin Fan's metal in his spiritual ring.
"You hammered this and turned it into 5th grade metal..." Han Zhou laughed brutally as he shook his head at Lin Fan. He patted him on the shoulder as contempt seemed to spin in his eyes. "You're a 5 star blacksmith? The limit of this competition is three star blacksmiths!"
"Are you kidding? Did the metal have a halo on it?" Lin Fan knew that 5th grade metal should shine while third grade would look similar, but would have rings around it instead of a halo. "I never did 1000 tier refining? How could it have turned to 5th grade metal..."
"The quality of this metal is only in the low grade... Since you were able to make rings appear on low grade oak... most blacksmiths consider this 5th grade metal... It's sort of like you... When a person that starts out as low as you gets strong, people tend to rate you too high..."
"Are you disqualifying me? I'm not an official 5 star blacksmith..." Lin Fan said with a tint of rage suffusing on his red skin as he looked down at the metal... "Also, so you are saying if you gave me the right metal, I would've qualified, but because I got the worst metal I'm disqualified?"
"You're already lucky enough that I don't throw you out of the competition for breaking the rules..." Han Zhou smiled and pointed over to a pack of girls that were calling for men to approach them... "Why don't you go try your hand at being an aunctioneer..."
"Father... Just punch him in the face!" Mimi Fan said as she prepared to toss her hammer at Han Zhou... "He's full of shit! Make him eat Yan Ran's cooking! It's even worse than shit!"
Lin Fan smiled and shook his head before he sighed and patted Han Zhou on the shoulder. Fine, if he wanted to play with the rule book, Lin Fan knew just how to play with the rules...
"Fine... I'll join your auctioneer competition, but since I suffered such an inconvenience maybe you'll give me something special if I win? What about a Night Queen or two?"
Lin Fan had promised Princess Mane to get her sisters and Han Zhou looked like just the type of guy to put his money where his dumb mouth was currently.
The stadium got silent as everyone, including Gin Ran, sighed and looked at Han Zhou.
Han Zhou also looked at Gin Ran as he nodded his head for Lin Fan's sake. He had no choice but to accept the deal and felt his skin boiling as he thought about how humiliating it would be to lose the bet.
He could feel the mockery of the Five Races as he took so long to accept the bet. However, Lin Fan was just a second rate individual born in a small sect. If he lost to Lin Fan as a High Elf, it would be humiliating. For this reason he wanted to scoff at Lin Fan's idea, but Lin Fan was already aware that Gin Ran was here, and was at the god stage.
Han Zhou was at the peak of the Apotheosis Realm, and had a certain duty to respect Gin Ran. He wanted to try and switch the wager as well, but Lin Fan clearly put him deliberately between a rock and a hard place.
"You... you know about the Night Queens? Then how about we make it fair... If you lose at the auctioneer tournament, why don't you give me the blueprint designs to your blaze fire generator..."
"You think I'm scared of losing a simple auctioneer competition?" Lin Fan nodded his head as Mimi Fan put her head against his shoulder and spit out her tongue... "Fine, I promise to give you a blueprint design and even make you three blaze fire generators...
Han Zhou rapidly nodded his head as Lin Fan accepted the deal. That generator was more powerful then Lin Fan realized if he used it properly. If that generator was used while Chen Low was meditating, he'd be killed without even getting a chance to blink. Their victory would be assured, and their spoils would be the entire continents hidden treasure island.
The island was something that not many people knew about, but all the experts had found it and were training to reach the Demi-God Realm to reach it. This would all change with Lin Fan's Blaze Fire Generator...
"I also want you to make me 1000 pounds of this metal if you lose..." Han Zhou said as threw a piece of metal at Lin Fan with contempt... "You're nothing but a little slave boy, remember? You should still remember how to work a fire..."
"Tell me the rules first... of being a good auctioneer..." Lin Fan sighed and took out a ascent grade pen as he looked at Han Zhou. This pen could be used to make contracts that were similar to Empyrean Oaths... The two participants had to use blood to make the contract... "What am I allowed to do to get sales? Am I allowed to use inventions..."
"You can use anything as long as no beautiful girls help you that are human beings..." Han Zhou smiled and handed Lin Fan a small ring... "Sell everything in that ring for the maximum price, and I promise you'll get the Night Queens..."
"I want your mother too..." Lin Fan nodded his head as Mimi Fan face palmed her head... "I want a good deal... I want someone from your family..."
"You want someone from my family? If you really win, I'll go and personally ask my sister to be your slave!"
"Deal..." Lin Fan smiled as he pierced his hand with a thin icicle as Han Zhou did the same... "I promise... You'll have the cutest nephews and nieces beat you up some day... You can guarantee that..."
Auctioneer Competition.
Lin Fan smiled as he set up his booth with the dozens of Blaze Rank Treasures, Horizon Grade Treasures, and the few Ascent Grade Treasures. There were women next to him wearing alluring clothing that seemed to have fallen from heaven or at least from the beds of powerful men.
One girl with black hair was even offering free massages in exchange for a 10% higher rate on buying her treasures. Lin Fan was provided the market value of all the treasures, but he'd come prepared, and summoned five hand maidens.
'Han Zhou already swore a blood oath and can't change the rules...' Lin Fan put up a sign buy an Ascent Grade Treasure and get a Hand Maiden for free!" The Hand Maidens were not disqualifying according to Han Zhou's contract, and all five of them were more alluring then the last.
He'd based each of the Hand Maidens on some of the favorite qualities of his girls, and all had An Moe's perfect butt with Jan Fan's unnatural curves. The men who were supposed to be skeptically looking at the treasures in the first round suddenly lined up in Lin Fan's stall..
"She's really good with her hands! Buy one Ascent Grade Treasure and you get a Hand Maiden for a week! Buy three and get one for two weeks!"
