The reason why Zheng Xiao attaches so much importance to Quan Yi is very simple. He has deduced from various signs that there is a Contra behind Quan Yi.
Only for this reason could an auction director attach so much importance to two young men.
After thinking this through, Quan Yi readily agreed to Zheng Xiao's request.
After all, when you are able to participate in the auction of top-quality items, you can not only broaden your horizons, but also increase the auction price of your bicycle.
There was no reason for Quan Yi to refuse such a good offer.
"Then I'll make the arrangements right away. You two can take advantage of the rest of the time to go wandering around. I'll send someone to lead the way for you two."
Chapter 210: The Time of the Top Auction
Quan Yi and Huo Wu arrived at the auction house in the afternoon.
There is still a long time before the evening's top-quality auction.
Quan Yi and Huo Wu took advantage of this time to have a good look around.
The auction house has a two-tier atmosphere.
There are various rooms on the first floor, each with different functions, including identification rooms, weapons laboratories, etc.
The auction center, where the formal auction is held, is located on the second floor of the auction venue.
The two first walked around the first floor and then went up to the auction center on the second floor.
The girl who had been leading the two men here said goodbye to them.
At the entrance of the auction center, there were waiters serving the customers.
The waiter on the second floor was obviously different from the girl who led the way.
Wearing a long skirt of the same color, but more revealing.
Her chest was wide open, and her short skirt barely covered her perky buttocks, exposing her snow-white skin. Her hot body exuded an aura of temptation.
If the auction house was somewhat restrained at the initial entrance, by the second level, they completely unconcealed their true nature.
Huo Wu was shocked when she saw this.
He quickly covered Quan Yi's eyes with his hands.
Even though she moved quickly, she was still a step slow, and Quan had already seen everything.
However, even after seeing it, Quan Yi didn't feel much. Although such clothes were sexy, they didn't cause much shock to the knowledgeable Quan Yi.
On the contrary, he had a deeper understanding of the auction house.
This building is built of money and desire.
At this moment, he finally understood why his parents stopped them from entering the auction.
Quan Yi gently held Huo Wu's raised hand, turned his head and looked straight into her eyes, and said:
"Don't worry, I didn't look at it too much."
Through contact and eye contact, Quan Yi's burning love for Huo Wu flowed unimpeded into Huo Wu's heart.
A bright smile broke out on her face.
Huo Wu held Quan Yi's hand tightly and walked into the auction center generously.
Entering the auction hall, the service staff led them to a large auditorium.
In the center of the auditorium, there is a circular stage, and around the stage are circles of seats.
The seats are divided into five colors according to the distance from the stage.
From inside to outside, they are divided into red, black, purple, yellow and white.
Red and black are million-level VIP areas. The difference between the two is that VIPs in the red zone not only need to be rich, but also must have a certain status.
However, black only needs to have money.
Purple is the 500,000 level, yellow is the 100,000 level, and white is the 10,000 level VIP area. In addition, those who come to sell things will be invited to the white area if they have no savings.
However, Huo Wu and Quan Yi showed the qualification certificates prepared by Zheng Xiao for them, and were taken directly to the black million-level VIP area.
The two sat in the vacant seats, attracting the attention of the bidders.
However, Quan Yi and Huo Wu wore masks when they entered. The bidders just glanced at them and then refocused their attention on the podium.
At this time, a wristband soul guide device was being auctioned on the stage.
According to the introduction, this soul guide device can release an energy shield covering two people by simply inputting a little soul power.
The strength of the shield is enough to withstand the attacks of hundred-year-old soul beasts and can last up to thirty minutes.
The effect seems ordinary, but the ability of the wristband is very valuable to many low-level soul masters.
Especially for those soul masters who have no combat power, this is simply a life-saving artifact.
Even so, it can only be used once a day, and after use, it requires a three-day cooldown period.
The auction officially began, and bidders appeared one after another from the four areas: black, purple, yellow and white.
The price also soared from the starting price of 8,000 gold soul coins to 10,000 gold soul coins.
In the end, the wristband was taken away by a bidder in the yellow area for 20,000 gold soul coins.
A simple soul guide device can be auctioned for 20,000 gold soul coins.
From this we can see how rare it is that Quan Yi’s bicycle can be priced at 40,000.
Most of the bidders here are experienced veterans, and ordinary items are not even worth their attention.
If you want to attract the attention of these bidders, you have to put in some effort.
For this purpose, Quan Yi specially took out the bones of the sacred fire beast and used them to add color to the bicycle.
Time passed slowly, and the sky outside was gradually getting darker.
However, the closed auction center was still brightly lit, making it impossible to detect changes in the outside world.
As the items are displayed one by one, bidders will gradually buy them.
Since the minimum starting price is one thousand gold soul coins, the transaction price of the auction items has never been lower than one thousand.
From one thousand gold soul coins to one hundred thousand gold soul coins, all kinds of exaggerated amounts of money appeared in the small auditorium.
You know, in this world, you only need two copper soul coins to buy a lunch box with vegetables and minced meat.
As night approaches, the time for the top-quality auction is about to come.
Just as Quan Yi was looking at all kinds of rare treasures with curiosity, Huo Wu beside him shook Quan Yi's shoulder and pointed to the front and said, "Xiao Yi, pay attention to the two people coming now."
Quan Yi looked in the direction he was looking and saw two tall men in gorgeous clothes walking towards him.
They went directly from the exclusive VIP channel of the red area to the front and sat down.
The place where they sat was just diagonally opposite to them. Although the distance was not close, they could just see the front.
Quan Yi, who had strong mental power, caught some aura from the two people.
According to Quan Yi's judgment, one of them should be a Soul Emperor-level expert, and the other should be a Soul Sage-level expert.
However, both of them were wearing masks, so their appearances could not be seen. Quan Yi also asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Huo Wu put her head close to Quan Yi's ear and whispered, "These two people, one is the prince of the Kingdom of Saus, and the other is the cardinal of the Spirit Hall."
Quan Yi was surprised and asked, "You can recognize him even with a mask on."
Huo Wu said: "I have attended the kingdom's banquet, so I have an impression of these two people."
Just when Huo Wu recognized the two people, the two men opposite seemed to notice them as well.
It seems that they have also discovered Huo Wu's existence.
The two men were surprised at first, then nodded gently towards Huo Wu.
Judging from the time, these two people should have come here specifically to participate in the top-quality auction that will start later.
As the start time arrived, the bidders who were originally sitting in the area behind them began to leave one after another.
The originally empty red and black areas were gradually filled up.
This is because, during the two hours of the auction of top-quality items, only those with million-level VIP qualifications can participate in the auction.
After the irrelevant crowd had completely left the venue, a woman in a fiery red dress took over the auctioneer's position and walked towards the center of the stage.
The moment the beautiful woman appeared, she attracted the attention of all the men in the venue.
With her hot body, gorgeous looks and a fiery red dress, she looks like a beautiful red rose.
After the woman saluted to the audience, she picked up the megaphone and announced, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I declare that the auction night of the finest items at the Saus Auction House has officially begun."
Chapter 211 The Decline of the Empire
The host, dressed in his best attire, clapped his hands.
From the other side of the stage, a staff member strode over, dragging an exquisite tray.
On the tray sat a rolled-up scroll.
The beautiful host began to introduce: "Now, please allow me to introduce the first item of this top-quality auction.
This is the certificate of appointment of the mayor of Mocheng, a city located on the edge of the Tiandou Empire.
As the city is close to the desert area and the previous owner did not manage the city well, the city's finances were on the verge of bankruptcy.
Out of desperation, the former city lord commissioned our auction house to select a suitable replacement for him.
The starting price for this item is 10,000 gold soul coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 1,000 gold soul coins. "
As soon as the beautiful host finished speaking, several bidders in the black area raised their prices one after another.
In an instant, the bidding price soared from 10,000 gold soul coins to 20,000 gold soul coins.
When bidding, people can use the price increase button next to their seats to conduct the bidding activity simply and conveniently.
However, these buttons are directly linked to personal savings accounts. If the amount you withdraw exceeds the savings in the account, you will not be able to continue.
The accounts of Quan Yi and Huo Wu were able to reach the million-level only because Zheng Xiao temporarily granted them permission. In fact, there was not a penny in their accounts.
The best auction is worthy of its reputation.
Starting from the first item, the starting price was no less than 10,000 gold soul coins. What surprised Quan Yi even more was that the auction house actually openly auctioned the management rights of the city.
Selling titles and official positions, these corruption phenomena that usually only occur at the end of a dynasty, were actually displayed vividly before Quan Yi's eyes.
The darkness in the auction hall was deeper than Quan Yi had imagined.
Huo Wu, who was standing aside, also had a look of surprise in her eyes.
She whispered to Quan: "This auction house is too bold. Don't they know that buying and selling official titles is illegal?"
Quan didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only say: "The law cannot punish these people."
Huo Wu is still young, and the passion in her heart has not yet died down. She felt indignant when she saw such a scene.
Quan Yi touched Huo Wu's head and comforted her.
However, at this time, Quan Yi had a deeper understanding of the overall situation on the mainland.
The Tiandou Empire has been in a rare period of peace in recent years.
The Tiandou Empire, which had temporarily avoided foreign invasion, was now facing another crisis.
That is the internal trouble.
The corruption of the nobles has made the empire, kingdoms and principalities increasingly alienated from each other.
The vast empire showed signs of decline long ago.
However, selling official positions and titles is nothing but a sign of decline.
Most of the bidders in the black area are people with money but no power.
They are very wealthy, but they do not have much power. Therefore, even if it is just the position of mayor of a small frontier town, they will try their best to take it.
"Fifty thousand. Okay, a black VIP has bid fifty thousand. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
Seeing that no one was bidding any more, the beautiful host decisively lowered the auction hammer and said, "Fifty thousand gold soul coins for the second time, fifty thousand gold soul coins for the third time.
