Chapter 167 Auction House
Next, Jian Chen inquired all the way and came to a store that specializes in selling magic cores. The store that sells magic cores is quite large. It is a three-story building completely made of bluestone. A plaque with the words "Tianxing Magic Core Monopoly Store" is hung high above the gate.
Although many mercenaries on Tianyuan Continent are setting up stalls to sell magic cores, they are almost all low-level magic cores. High-level magic cores are almost rare in street stalls. If you want to buy high-level magic cores, you must go to some stores. The larger the store, the higher the level of magic cores sold.
Moreover, the number of magic cores that can be supplied by regular stores is also very large. Unlike some mercenaries who sell three or five first-level second-level magic cores, if some powerful families want to buy a large number of magic cores, they will almost go to some magic core stores to buy them in batches.
As soon as he entered the store of the Magic Core Store, Jian Chen found that there were surprisingly not many people in a huge store, and there were no magic cores inside. There were only a dozen young female waiters working at the counter. It didn't look like a place for selling Magic Cores.
With some doubts, Jian Chen came to a counter and asked, "Is this place for sale of magic cores?"
After hearing this, the female waiter sitting at the counter gave Jian Chen a blank look. However, when she saw Jian Chen's handsome and tender face, a strange light appeared in her eyes, and her eyes were also stuck on Jian Chen's handsome and handsome face for a while. Then she said angrily: "Didn't you see the sign on the door? Our Tianxing Magic Core Store is not a place where the magic core is sold."
Jian Chen smiled awkwardly, glanced in the empty lobby and said, "Then why don't you even place a magic core here?"
Perhaps it is because Jian Chen's appearance has an irresistible attraction to most young girls. The female waiter smiled and stared at Jian Chen with a pair of eyes blankly. She explained patiently: "Our Tianxing Magic Core Store only has some high-level magic cores to display, and the high-level magic cores are on the second and third levels. As for this first level, only first-level magic cores are for sale, and first-level magic cores are very common, so there is no need to display them at all."
Upon hearing this, Jian Chen suddenly realized that this was his first time entering a store selling magic cores. He did not know this before.
This is, the female waiter continued to ask: "Do you want to buy magic cores? If you want to buy first-level magic cores, just tell me the quantity. If you want to buy second-level magic cores, you can only go up the second floor."
After hearing this, Jian Chen hesitated for a while, then asked, "I don't buy magic cores, may I ask if you buy magic cores here?"
The female waiter stared at Jian Chen with a surprised face and asked in surprise: "What? Are you here to sell magic cores?"
"Not bad!" Jian Chen nodded slightly.
The female waiter looked at Jian Chen with a strange expression. It seemed that she could not have imagined that a handsome young man was not here to buy magic cores, but to sell magic cores. This is the first time she has met this year because almost all the people who came here to sell magic cores were big and thick and burly men.
However, the female waiter did not look down on Jian Chen at all because of this, and still smiled sweetly: "We are also buying magic cores here. Please give me the magic cores you want to sell!"
Immediately, Jian Chen handed the two space belts to the female waiter, and the two space belts contained first-level and second-level magic cores.
The female waiter took the space belt and started to check it out. However, when she found the number of magic cores contained in the space belt, she couldn't help but look shocked on her face, because the total number of first and second-level magic cores in these two space belts was nearly two thousand. This was the first time she had seen so many magic cores.
Taking a deep breath, the female waiter stared at Jian Chen's handsome face with some complex eyes and said, "Please wait for a while, I have to go and find our shopkeeper."
Then, the female waiter handed the space belt back to Jian Chen, then turned around and went up the second floor. Not long after, a middle-aged man in a blue brocade robe followed the female waiter down from the second floor.
"Shopkeeper Bai, this gentleman wants to sell magic cores." When he came to Jian Chen, the female waiter spoke to the middle-aged man in brocade robe.
The middle-aged man who was named Bai Shuaizhu nodded slightly, stared at Jian Chen with a soft look, and smiled: "Little brother, can you show me the magic core you want to sell?"
Jian Chen did not hesitate at all and handed the two space belts in his hand to the shopkeeper Bai in a brocade robe. The shopkeeper Bai reached out to take the two space belts and began to check it. However, when he found the number of magic cores in the two space belts, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"It's rare to sell so many magic cores at one time in Fengyang City." The middle-aged man sighed in a low voice, then looked at Jian Chen deeply and smiled, "Little brother, you won't mind if I call you like this."
Jian Chen smiled slightly and said, "Shopkeeper, you should tell me how much these magic cores can be sold in total."
"Okay, please allow me to count it." The middle-aged man smiled slightly and stopped talking nonsense. After invited Jian Chen to a secret room specially for guests, he began to order people to count the magic cores.
When the number of magic cores was counted, the middle-aged man paid Jian Chen a total of more than 5,000 amethyst coins. Jian Chen walked out of the Tianxing Magic Core Store with more than 5,000 amethyst coins.
Jian Chen rode his horse to the market where the crowd gathered to purchase some essential supplies and clothing for survival in the wild, so as to prepare for future needs.
At this time, a few comments in the noisy crowd attracted Jian Chen's attention.
"It is said that the annual auction will be held in ten days, but this time there are many precious items auctions..."
"Well, I must go to this auction. Maybe I can find some other treasures..."
"The Tianfeng Auction House in Fengyang City is very famous in this nearby region. Every annual auction, many people who come from other cities will attend, which is very lively..."
.....
"Auction house!" Listening to the conversation of those people, Jian Chen's expression moved slightly, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart. Then, Jian Chen had no intention of continuing to wander here, rode his horse and inquired all the way, and soon arrived at the center of Fengyang City. Finally, he listened to a huge two-story building.
The building in front of me is very large. Although it only has two floors, its height has reached more than ten meters, which is even higher than some four-story restaurants and covers a very large area, even compared with the mercenary union. Above the gates of these two-story buildings, a large bluestone slab with three meters high is hung high on it, with the five words "Tianfeng Auction House" written on it.
On a side door next to the auction house, many people were entering and exiting. Jian Chen hesitated for a moment, then rode his horse away, then went to a restaurant not far from Tianfeng Auction House to ask for a room, tied up the horse and left.
Jian Chen wandered around the neighborhood for a few times, and finally found a remote place, then immediately took out some relevant materials and started to disguise.
After a cup of tea, when Jian Chen stood up again, his appearance had completely changed. At this moment, he looked like a middle-aged man with dark skin, with a very ordinary appearance, and he was a type of person who could grab a lot of people in the crowd. The only unique thing was that he had a scar on his left face.
After disguising himself, Jian Chen changed into a set of clothes, then walked to Tianfeng Auction House and walked in through the side door. There were still many people entering and leaving this side door one after another. Now the annual auction is about to begin, and many people have begun to take some of the more precious and diluted items in their hands to register for auction.
"Sir, do you need to register what items?"
As soon as he arrived at the counter where the auction items were registered, a woman immediately asked in a sweet voice.
"Can you call out the person in charge here? I have something to discuss with him?" A thick voice was spit out of Jian Chen's mouth, and the sound was changed by his deliberately.
"Okay, please wait!" The woman looked at Jian Chen, hesitated for a while, then left her post and disappeared into a door behind her.
Soon, an old man wearing a luxurious robe and a white-haired man walked out with the woman. The woman led the old man to Jian Chen with a respectful look on his face and said, "Mr. Huang, this gentleman is looking for you!" Then he introduced to Jian Chen: "Sir, this is the senior appraiser of our Tianfeng Auction House, Mr. Huang."
Jian Chen bowed slightly to the old man, saying hello.
However, his actions were directly ignored by the old man. The old man looked at Jian Chen and asked directly: "I don't know what you have to do with me."
Jian Chen glanced at the people around who were registering for auction items and said, "Mr. Huang, I have a valuable item that needs to be auctioned by your bank. I wonder if the old man can borrow a step to talk."
After hearing Jian Chen's words, the old man's eyes flashed, and then he invited Jian Chen to a quiet small room without any hesitation.
In a quiet small room, Jian Chen and the old man sat opposite each other. The room was not big, but the sound insulation was not good and completely sealed. There was no need to worry that anyone would see the scene inside from outside.
"Sir, you should take out the things you want to auction for me to take a look." As soon as the two of them sat down, the old man couldn't help but speak.
"Haha, Mr. Huang, the items I want to auction are here, but please keep them confidential for me." Jian Chen laughed and threw a space belt directly on the table in front of him.
"You can rest assured that our Tianfeng Auction House is still a bit famous in several surrounding cities, and will never reveal any information about the employer." The old man chuckled, then picked up the space belt that Jian Chen placed on the table and started to check it.
