章 25: Grade E Skill Book and Li Qingqing's Competitiveness
編集者: Atlas Studios
The interior of the auction house was huge!
The surroundings were filled with countless private auction rooms. In the auction room, one could clearly see the items being auctioned every time through the screen in front of them.
It was not time for the auction yet. There was only a large display cabinet and an empty stage on the screen.
After Ye Tianyu and Li Qingqing entered, they sat down in one of the auction rooms.
As they chatted, they waited for the auction to begin.
Two middle-aged men in black robes were preparing to enter the auction.
Because the amount of their assets did not meet the auction standards, the guards quickly chased them out.
One of the middle-aged men cursed under his breath and turned around to complain to his companion.
"Dammit, those two fat sheep actually entered the auction. What should we do now?"
After a brief pondering, his companion helplessly said, "It will cost at least ten million to enter the auction, the two of us won't be able to enter at all. Let's go back and tell the boss about their whereabouts."
"Anyway, the auction will take at least a few hours. They probably won't leave the black market anytime soon."
The two of them exchanged glances and left the auction house.
After a while!
The two middle-aged men walked into the Treasure Pavillion and very familiarly came to a room on the second floor.
When the shop owner saw his two subordinates return, he frowned and asked.
"What happened? I asked you guys to watch over those two young people, why are you back?"
Seeing that the shop owner was a little angry, the two middle-aged men waved their hands in a panic and explained.
"They entered the auction house. The two of us couldn't enter… so we could only come back to report to you first."
"Yes! Since they are participating in the auction, they will definitely not leave the black market for the time being. Please rest assured, Boss."
When the shop owner heard this, his expression turned ugly.
"They entered the auction? Damn it, this is going to be troublesome!"
The shop owner sighed and gave his order to the two subordinates.
"Alright, I already know the situation. Go and wait at the entrance of the auction house. Report to me if there's any updates."
"Understood!"
After the two middle-aged men received the order, they left the shop.
After they left, the shop owner took out his phone and dialed a familiar number.
Previously, when he saw Ye Tianyu take out over a hundred magic crystals and those high-grade materials, he became interested in the two of them.
Even though there was a rule in the black market that forbade fighting, as long as one did it discreetly enough, who would find trouble with him?
He had done this many times in the past. It could be said that he was very experienced.
After the call went through, the shop owner said, "The prey has entered the auction house, we will temporarily stop the operation."
…
At this moment, Ye Tianyu and Li Qingqing were chatting in the auction house, unaware that they had already been targeted.
After about half an hour, an image appeared on the auction screen.
A beautiful woman with golden hair draped over her shoulders slowly walked to the center of the stage, while swaying her sexy hips side to side.
"Thank you for your support! The auction has officially begun!"
"There are a total of 188 items for auction this time, including equipment, potions, class books, attack skills, special items, and so on."
"I hope everyone will benefit from the auction!"
After the sexy lady finished speaking, she blew kisses at the screen. Her seductive voice echoed through the auction house, so everyone could hear her clearly.
"A powerful mutant!"
That sexy beauty's performance surprised Ye Tianyu.
The black market's auction was indeed not simple.
The other party was just an auctioneer, yet she was also a mutant, and her grade was definitely not low.
"Next, we shall be auctioning the first time. This item is a skill book that increases speed."
The beautiful auctioneer explained the rules of the auction. Then, she took out a skill book that was emitting a green glow and placed it on the display platform.
"A skill book that increases speed is more precious than other skill books, especially this Grade E skill book in my hand. It can increase a mutant's movement speed by 3% in a short period of time."
"This Grade E Skill Book starts at three million gold coins. The additional bid amount cannot be lower than 10,000!"
A skill book! Even a Grade E Skill Book was extremely precious to mutants.
This was because the probability of dropping Skill Books was very low when conquerring a dungeon.
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the auction house erupted into a commotion.
Many mutants started to place their bids, increasing the bid amount of the Grade E skill book.
In just a few minutes, the price had increased to five million gold coins.
One had to know that the exchange rate of gold coins to currency was close to 6:1. This meant that 5 million gold coins was equivalent to 30 million gold coins.
"I didn't expect a Grade E skill book to be so expensive?"
Ye Tianyu muttered to himself in surprise as he looked at the skill book with a green glow on the auction stage.
However, he was not interested in the skill book that could increase his movement speed.
Compared to his calmness, Li Qingqing was a little excited.
She moved closer to stare at the big screen, her gaze filled with curiosity.
However, she only watched quietly and did not make any bid.
"Li Qingqing, do you like it?" Ye Tianyu asked.
Hearing Ye Tianyu's words, Li Qingqing was stunned. She turned around and smiled at him.
"No, I'm not interested in that skill book. I just saw that the auctioneer was quite good-looking and couldn't help but take a few more glances!"
Seeing Ye Tianyu's strange expression, Li Qingqing seemed to have discovered something interesting.
As she let out a pleasant laugh, she imitated the beautiful auctioneer's actions and walked towards Ye Tianyu with sexy steps.
"How is it? Compared to the auctioneer, who looks better?"
Ye Tianyu raised his head and looked at Li Qingqing seriously before looking at the auctioneer.
Feeling the other party's gaze on her, Li Qingqing subconsciously straightened her proud chest, her delicate face revealing a hint of red.
Ye Tianyu asked, "Are you serious?"
Li Qingqing nodded.
Under her expectant gaze, Ye Tianyu gave his answer.
"Different types are difficult to compare. It can only be said that each has its own beauty, and there is no comparison to be made."
"It is like that of roses and tulips. Neither of them is better looking!"
"It depends on the flower admirer's preferences."
Li Qingqing seemed to understand a little, but she didn't seem to understand everything.
She stopped smiling and placed her hands on Ye Tianyu's shoulders, staring into his eyes.
"So, do you like roses or tulips?" she asked seriously.
