Chapter 0010 Auction
"Feng Taizhen, things in the world are like chess, and the waves wash away the sand, and some things are indefinite." Zhou Huaijin just smiled faintly.
Feng Taizhen of Longhuai Academy touched the corner of his mouth, turned to Zhang Fang, and said, "Is your student named Ban Ming? I remember, I want to see how great he will be in the future."
"Don't bully the young man's poor." Zhang Fang's serious face was cold and he looked at Feng Taizhen without any allowance. Finally, he couldn't help but refute.
"Zhang Fang!" Wang Tao's face changed and he shouted in a low voice.
Feng Taizhen's eyes flashed coldly and she smiled: "Okay, Principal Wei, you people from Nanrong No. 3 Middle School are indeed a bit amazing, but I will wait and see how great it is."
After saying that, Feng Taizhen walked forward without looking back and got into a car.
Principal Wei looked honest and seemed not angry because of Feng Taizhen's words. He laughed and shook his head gently, and said to the remaining inspectors: "I'll make you laugh, please get in the car, I'll take it away."
There was nothing to say at the moment. Several inspectors exchanged greetings and got on the bus one after another.
As the traffic drove away silently, the school gate suddenly became clear, leaving only the leaders and teachers of Nanrong No. 3 Middle School who were welcoming and seeing off the inspectors.
"Zhang Fang, you are too brave. Do you know what you are doing? If you offend Inspector Feng, Longhuai College may reduce the number of special recruitment places in our school next year!" Wang Tao told Zhang Fang with an ugly expression: "Tomorrow you will submit a deep understanding of the examination!"
Zhang Fang frowned and said nothing.
"Forget it." Principal Wei suddenly spoke out at this time, patted Zhang Fang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you can do this level for your students, no matter what, you are a qualified teacher. Our Nanrong No. 3 Middle School needs more responsible teachers like this. But... I won't be the case."
"Yes." Zhang Fang was very grateful and breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the principal said this, Wang Tao stopped talking, but suddenly moved in his heart, and suspected that Zhang Fang was deliberately acting like this in order to show his face in front of the principal. Suddenly, his eyes looked at Zhang Fang a little unkind.
After a while, Zhang Fang, who seemed to have a little exhausted fight, returned to the teaching building, came to the classroom of Class 1, Grade 3, and nodded slightly at Xi Mengyan.
A sincere smile of joy appeared on Simonyan's face.
Seeing this, Zhang Fang smiled bitterly. He had long heard that this girl and his father had a tendency to fall in love. Now it seems that they are almost inseparable!
...
Of course, Ban Ming would not know the efforts made by Xi Mengyan and Zhang Fang for themselves. He knew that at around 7 o'clock in the evening, he finally came out of the Nanrong City Light Rail Station with a big bag on his shoulder.
"It's so miserable. The next midterm exam is over!" Ban Ming was very upset.
This trip to Mount Liegula was not as smooth as he thought, so it was delayed.
Mount Regula is an active volcano located in the 79th district of the Eastern Federation. It has been frequent over the past few hundred years. Geologists expect a major outbreak to occur within ten years, so the federal government has been carrying out population migration in nearby areas early on.
What Ban Ming is looking for is a place very close to this active volcano.
As a result, an accident occurred during the process of taking out the things. The earth's crust suddenly changed, the earth was shaken, the rocks fell into the air, and Ban Ming fell into an underground maze.
There was often burning magma in the maze. He was trapped for three days before he finally got out of trouble. He rushed back non-stop, but still missed the midterm exam.
"Hehe, there will be gains and losses. It's just a midterm exam. What's the point of caring about?" Uncle Gui laughed in the spiritual world and changed his mind: "But your luck is really good. For more than four hundred years, the formation is still there, and the fairy wine ice and fire wine stored there in Zhuang Han has already had five points of flavor. Unfortunately, if you can save it for a thousand years, you can get nine points of flavor, which is the real nectar and jade liquid."
Ban Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes. Waiting for a thousand years would definitely be a rhythm of waiting for death.
"Zhuang Han is really weird. He is willing to spend five years of life in exchange for a winemaking formation." Ban Ming sighed again.
This wine-making formation actually transformed from the basic spirit-gathering formation, and used the power of underground burning to refine wine. Even so, it took Zhuang Han five years of life.
"You are not a wine lover, so of course you don't understand the obsession of wine lovers with fine wine." Uncle Gui sneered and said, "It's a pity that he just made wedding clothes for you after all, and he didn't have the chance to drink the ice and fire wine he had created with the help of the power of rock yang."
Ban Ming's mouth was slightly raised, and he also felt that he was lucky.
The geological movements in the volcanic areas are frequent, and no one can tell whether the place where the wine is stored has been destroyed for more than 400 years. Once the formation is broken and the alcohol is discharged, the wine will naturally turn into water vapor and evaporate.
After more than four hundred years of brewing, ice and fire brewing gradually began to produce yin at the anode, and ice and yin are produced from the rock yang. Unfortunately, the years are still insufficient, and the ice and yin produced are not enough, which cannot achieve the best wonderful taste of ice and fire.
Even so, it is not too much to call it a fairy wine in this world.
However, joy leads to sadness. If you want to get wine, you will have to break the formation first. Ban Ming inherited Zhuang Han's memory and had long understood the method of breaking the formation. Unfortunately, his cultivation is still shallow and his control of the inner element cannot reach the fineness required to break the formation. A subtle deviation caused the force of the rock yang accumulated in the formation to explode outward, causing a drastic change in the earth's crust. He fell into an underground maze filled with magma.
Fortunately, the detection instruments in this era are much more advanced than they were more than four hundred years ago. When entering the station, Ban Ming did not need to open the wine jar to verify that it was wine. Otherwise, it would definitely cause a big riot, and his return to Nanrong City would be even more delayed.
Uncle Gui sighed: "But, do you really want to sell it? Ice and fire brewing is very precious. It is not only a fine wine, but also a medicinal property. It is a great tonic for warriors with fire-attribute root bones. It is also a symptomatic yang replenishment for you who have the Nine Yin Pierce. It is more useful than any supplement you have taken before. Such a good thing can be sold a little less."
Ban Ming was unmoved: "I don't sell it all, anyway, I have to first determine the existence of the Nine Octopus meridian before considering other things."
Uncle Gui was speechless. To some extent, this kid was considered a kind of firm-willed person. As long as the decision was made, it would not be changed easily.
Ban Ming ignored Uncle Gui anymore. What he had a headache now was how to turn ice and fire brewing into money?
It is impossible to take such a peerless wine to the roadside for sale. Even if it can be sold, there will definitely be no less trouble... Ban Ming still knows the truth that it is guilty of possessing a treasure.
Anyway, he had missed the exam, Ban Ming accepted this reality very barely after his initial annoyance and decided to turn the wine into money before returning to school.
To think about it in the long run, if he can't pass this level, he will only have a good life for more than ten years at most. Not to mention a midterm exam, even if he missed the college entrance examination, it would be that way.
In Ban Ming's opinion, the wine jar in his backpack was filled with gold bars. He wanted to open a room in a hotel near the light rail station and prepare to stay here for one night.
After queried online with the computer in the room, Ban Ming finally confirmed that the most suitable places for selling such rare goods as he had in his hands were black markets and auction houses.
As the name suggests, the black market is a shameful market. Without special means, you don’t know where the black market is, and it is impossible to trade in the black market.
In addition, there is a mixture of dragons and snakes in the black market, and killing and robbing people is not uncommon, so Ban Ming quickly rejected it.
In contrast, auction houses are much safer.
Auction houses are naturally the place to auction things, but with the prosperity of martial arts, many folk warriors have explored by themselves, and by chance they have found some tricks or martial arts techniques, and they have begun to take them to auction houses for money, which has made the auction house more and more prosperous.
Although the Eastern Federal Government has quite controlled and strictly supervised the spread of destructive martial arts, it does not completely prohibit the transaction of martial arts books in auction houses. As long as martial arts with an evaluation level does not exceed B, they can be auctioned freely, and only heavy taxes are imposed.
After the prosperity of martial arts, as more and more martial arts were explored and developed, martial arts were also divided into levels like the level of cultivation. The highest is S-level martial arts, and the following are A, B, C, D, and E-level martial arts.
The martial arts appraisers of each auction house are actually installed by the Eastern Federal Government. To some extent, the seller takes martial arts books to the auction house for auction, and has defaulted to the government's own martial arts owned by the government, and has a special department to register.
Only in this way can a certain martial art cause social harm, the source can be traced to the source for investigation.
What attracted Ban Ming the most was that the auction house could conduct anonymous auctions, which could hide his identity and origin well.
This is also because the things that can be auctioned in the auction house will not provoke the sensitive nerves of the Eastern Federal government, so anonymity is allowed. Otherwise, for example, martial arts or some banned drugs above the level B or above, the owner can only choose to trade in underground auction houses or black markets.
These days, there are no less than 100 auction houses of all sizes, but there are only ten auction houses with a scale and branches in various districts of the Eastern Federation. Among them, the three major auction houses, Litong, Meitong and Batong have a similar reputation and strength, and the competition between them is also quite fierce.
There was nothing difficult to choose. Ban Ming checked the online map and found that Batong among the three major auction houses was closest to him. He immediately cleaned up. In addition to the hotel, he bought a hat, sunglasses and masks in a nearby supermarket, so he took a taxi to Batong Auction House.
Get off the bus near the commercial street where Batong Auction House is located, Ban Ming had already put on a hat and other items, and walked for a while and walked into the magnificent door of Batong Auction House.
No one thinks that his outfit is strange. In fact, many sellers who want to conduct anonymous auctions are dressed up in this outfit, and people on this street are no longer surprised.
This is also a sign. When Ban Ming walked into Batong Auction House, a girl in a small suit and work clothes immediately greeted her with a kind but professional smile on her face: "Hello, what can I do to serve you?"
"I want to auction anonymously." Ban Ming said in a low voice.
"Okay, please come with me."
It was not surprising to entertain the girl. I took Ban Ming to the second floor from a staircase guarded by someone next to it, and entered a small but elegantly decorated reception room.
Ban Ming sat down on the soft and comfortable leather sofa.
"What kind of items do you want to auction for your guests? I'll notify a special appraiser to do an appraisal for you." The entertaining girl asked.
"Wine." Ban Ming cherishes his words like gold, giving people a taciturn and cold feeling.
The entertaining girl bowed slightly and left the room.
