Pray and become a magical girl

Chapter 101: 100 ~ Auction
The woman had elegant manners, and although she only wore light makeup, she was even more stunning than the young man's female companion.
-
Look, this is professionalism.

Cheng Haoran muttered to himself, then moved his gaze to the woman.

The lights converged on her body, and she spoke with a smile, her voice so soft, as if she was hugging a piece of cotton.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am Huiqi, the auctioneer of this auction. Your presence really makes our hotel shine."

"Ms. Huiqi, can you start quickly? Or are you the first item to be auctioned? Haha~" Well, even people in the upper class can use foul language like this.

Huiqi kept smiling and said calmly, "Sir, please be patient. I am not a commodity. In comparison, the next commodity is more valuable than me."

After saying that, she made room for the cart behind her.

After pulling off the white cloth covering it, a green porcelain vase was revealed, with a green coiled dragon on it. It looked domineering, with four claws stretched forward. In other words, it could tear apart all evil spirits.

"Everyone, please look, this is the first lot of today's auction, a blue and white porcelain that can ward off evil spirits and bless family harmony."

Someone noticed that the green dragon only had four claws, so they asked, "Is this a four-clawed dragon?"

Huiqi nodded and replied, "Yes, Miss. In ancient times, the hierarchy was strict. The emperor could use a five-clawed dragon, ministers could use a four-clawed dragon, and commoners could only use a three-clawed dragon. This blue and white porcelain was a burial object of a minister.

"However, although there was only a four-clawed dragon painted on it, it was very effective in deterring evil spirits in the house. It is said that the minister was promoted all the way to prime minister."

If Cheng Haoran had not heard of the origins of these items, he might have believed it, but now he simply cannot believe it.

They don't even know who the original owner of the previous generation was, so it's strange that they can have such a detailed introduction.

Someone else raised a question, but because of the time it was produced, "Miss, do you have the inspection certificate for this item? Could these things be fakes?"

Huiqi looked at the man who asked the question, then casually picked up the certificate he wanted and said, "Please rest assured, sir. Our hotel is absolutely sure of the quality of these items. Of course, you can also find a more professional appraisal expert. If it is a fake, our hotel will refund the full amount and pay 500,000 yuan as compensation."

After waiting for a few seconds, no one asked any more questions, so Huiqi said, "The starting price of this blue and white porcelain is 500,000 yuan, and each bid increase must be no less than 10,000 yuan. Now please start bidding."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone raised a sign in his hand. It came from the young man next to Cheng Haoran.

"Six hundred thousand!"

The age of this item was not specified, so many people were hesitant to judge its value. Now someone has managed to avoid the outcome of it failing to sell.

The reason why the young man would do this is very simple. The first person to shout out the bid can always leave a special impression on people, and he does it for the two poor guys around him and his female companion Xiaoli to see.
-
See? This is the strength of Jiangcheng Yuan Shao!

If Cheng Haoran knew what he was thinking, he would definitely applaud him.

"This gentleman bids 600,000. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?" Huiqi's smile brightened. It seemed that because this was the first item to be auctioned, she paused for a little less time than expected.

“Six hundred thousand for the first time.

“Six hundred thousand the second time.

"Six hundred thousand for the third time!"

"Bang!" The auction hammer hit the solid wood with a crisp sound. Huiqi continued, "Congratulations to this gentleman for winning this blue and white porcelain at a price of 600,000. A staff member will deliver this item directly to your room later."

Many bigwigs in this field laughed at this newbie. They thought that after the photo was taken, they would be able to tell the production age of this blue and white porcelain, but they didn't. Even though it was a long time since the last time they participated, they would never forget the thrilling stay.

What is the situation now? The auctioneer found a loophole. The quality inspection book shows the production date, but Huiqi didn't say it, so it is most likely just a "porcelain baby" that was born only a hundred years ago.

Of course, the young man who was the focus of this event did not realize this. He was feeling complacent because he had picked up this bargain. This was the largest auction in the southwest, so how bad could the items on display be?
Moreover, the money he brought from home was only 800,000 yuan. He originally thought that he was just coming to join in the fun, but now he can show off his prowess.

Holding his companion's hand again, Xiaoli did not resist this time. It seemed that six hundred thousand yuan could perfectly solve the misunderstanding between them.

The young man glanced at Cheng Haoran and the others with a smug look in his eyes, but Zhou Changqing had a question: what was he doing? Was he really suffering from kidney deficiency?

The auction continued, and Huiqi's introduction to the items became much more detailed. As a result, more and more bidders came, and the bidding prices became higher and higher.

Mr. Programmer suddenly felt bored. The items were either porcelain or metal products, and the bidders were either increasing the bids in the same old way or gritting their teeth and giving up. There was nothing new about them.

"Then please bring out our last item." Huiqi said, and then covered it with a white cloth, but you can clearly see that it is in the shape of a sword.

When the white cloth was removed, a long sword covered entirely in black appeared. Perhaps some people did not recognize what it was, but Cheng Haoran was quite familiar with it.

"Standard weapons." He uttered these words softly.

Zhou Changqing frowned and asked, "Is it produced on the assembly line in a standard weapons factory?"

Cheng Haoran rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you think it would be allowed to be included in this auction if that's the case? The standard weapons I'm talking about are weapons made using tunnel technology and specially made for exotic beasts. They're called standard weapons in short."

After hearing the explanation of the name, Zhou Changqing subconsciously asked, "Who gave this name?"

"King Arthur."

"..."

The police officer fell silent. Perhaps he had understood what kind of person the legendary first S-class King Arthur was.

"It uses tunnel technology. What's the difference between it and ordinary weapons?"

"It can easily cut open the body of a Disruption-level alien beast."

Zhou Changqing widened his eyes and raised his voice, "Fuck! Why didn't you tell me about this earlier!"

Cheng Haoran shrugged and explained, "Even if I tell you, you won't be able to use it. The so-called tunnel technology is basically to use tunnel energy to enchant metal. And what good things can there be where tunnel energy appears? Now that I've told you, will you be able to use it?"

"No." Zhou Changqing answered seriously and firmly.

"Haha~ That's right." Cheng Haoran smiled and then straightened up.

"What are you doing?"

"What else can I do? Of course I come to the auction to bid."
