Chapter 98: A Specialized Accountant Who Defrauds People
A magic weapon worth two hundred spiritual stones was priced ten times as soon as the auction started. Even the monk who took out the sinking water lamp was stunned.
The Qingfu Building auction has never seen an increase of ten times.
Simply unheard of!
No one expected that the fastest rising item in today's auction was not the Earth Escape Talisman, the Qixia Sword, or the Mysterious Scale Armor, but a simple water-proof magic weapon.
When he saw the smile on Yun Que's lips, Chu Hu immediately knew that he had been fooled.
He was tricked.
And it’s such a trap!
He doesn't care about hundreds of spirit stones, he can actually get even thousands of spirit stones, but two thousand spirit stones is really more than his net worth.
Moreover, in this transaction, he lost a net loss of 1,800 spiritual stones. If he wanted to let his family know, he would be beaten to death if he told the least.
Chu Hu was so angry that his face turned blue and he was furious.
In fact, he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. Many people are paralyzed by his burly stature and think Chu Hu is a reckless person.
Chu Hu never explained, and often even took advantage of this to make himself appear stupid and honest, thus causing many people to suffer.
Especially in the sword fight last year, Chu Hu took his advantage to the extreme and defeated opponents of the same level three times in a row, gaining a lot of benefits.
This time, he thought that this little Hanshui Hou would be crushed to death in his hands sooner or later, but he ended up capsized in the gutter.
There are auction rules for auctions.
Whoever quotes the price must be held responsible to the end. If you only quote the price without taking any money, the lightest result is to be expelled from the auction and permanently lose the qualification to participate in the auction here, which is equivalent to being on someone's blacklist.
Chu Hu gritted his teeth and stared, yelling at Yun Que: "You bastard, you are hurting me!"
"Is there any?" Yun Que spread his hands and said innocently: "I'm sitting here without even moving, how could I hurt you?"
Yun Que did not move, he just relied on his habit of thinking logically.
The first few quotes were to cultivate a fixed mindset in Chu Hu and make him accustomed to doubling the price immediately after Yun Que said it.
Of course, relying solely on thinking habits is not enough to fool Chu Hu.
Yun Que had been waiting, and finally waited for a good opportunity, which was the last water-proof magic weapon that appeared.
Because Chu Hu had already snatched away a water-proof magic weapon before, he subconsciously decided that Yun Que was most interested in the water-proof magic weapon, so he had to prevent the other party from obtaining it.
Coupled with the moment when the water-avoiding magic weapon appeared, Yun Que made a slight forward body movement, which further deepened Chu Hu's judgment and made him mistakenly believe that Yun Que was bound to get this object.
The three aspects of thinking habits, water-avoiding instruments, and vivid body movements were superimposed to form a bottomless pit, and Chu Hu jumped into it without any surprise.
Now it was Yun Que's turn to watch the fun.
As a professional deceiver, the guy who falls into the hands of Hanshui Hou will basically not end well.
The shop owner Yu Qingfu coughed and asked if anyone would increase the price.
Definitely no more.
A magic weapon worth two hundred and three hundred spirit stones jumps directly to two thousand spirit stones. Unless you are a fool, no one would dare to raise the price.
"Two thousand spirit stones, deal!"
Yu Qingfu set his eyes on Chu Hu and waited for the other party to pay.
Chu Hu's eyelids twitched, and he pointed at Yun Que and said, "He broke the rules first! He maliciously increased the price first, and I am the victim!"
"An evil person complains first again?" Yun Que chuckled and said, "You still haven't learned the lesson. How could I increase the price maliciously? I only paid the price because I planned to buy the magic weapon."
"The starting price is two hundred spirit stones. You open your mouth and ask for a thousand spirit stones? Only a ghost can believe it! You can't even get a thousand spirit stones, and you still say it's not a malicious increase in price!" Chu Hu thought he had found a counterattack point and identified Yun Que.
I can't get thousands of spiritual stones.
"Who says I can't bring out a thousand spiritual stones? Dog eyes look down on people." Yun Que said and laughed, and with a flick of his finger, a black stone flew onto the wooden platform.
Yu Qingfu raised his hand to grab the stone, only glanced at it, and his expression changed slightly.
"Start shooting with a thousand spirit stones." Yun Que said casually.
Chu Hu laughed loudly and cursed: "You dare to ask for a thousand for a broken stone? I think you are crazy about spiritual stones! This is an auction, not a joke convention! Cats and dogs better not come here to embarrass themselves!"
Not only Chu Hu wanted to watch the joke, but hundreds of monks present also felt that Yun Que was too powerful to be able to obtain a treasure worth thousands of spirit stones.
One thousand spirit stones is by no means a small amount.
Ordinary foundation-building monks may not be able to get it, let alone a disciple of the Sword Palace.
Although everyone present could not tell whether Yun Que had any cultivation level, they still recognized the clothes of the Sword Palace disciples.
Luo Xiaoyu on the side didn't think anything, but Han Jiao sweated for Yun Que.
If there is fraud at an auction, you are an enemy of the auction house!
The shopkeeper in the Foundation Establishment Realm was obviously not easy to deal with. If he really wanted to annoy him, the three of them would come in vertically and might have to go out sideways.
While Han Jiao was worried and Chu Hu was waiting to see the joke, Yu Qingfu raised the black stone in his hand and said:
"A piece of soul stone that is over a hundred years old. It is of high quality. It is an excellent material for refining the best soul-based magic weapon. It is worth at least thousands of spirit stones. This item is regarded as the final competition item of this auction. Guests who want it can ask for it.
Be well prepared."
Wow!!!
Following Yu Qingfu's explanation, the venue became noisy.
"It's actually the real thing! What a rich net worth!"
"I remember that a mid-grade soul stone appeared half a year ago, and was finally bought by Eight Hundred Spirit Stones. This time, the quality is better, and its value is definitely more than a thousand spirit stones!"
"Soul-based magic weapon? That's not a top-quality magic weapon that can inhabit demon souls! The finished product must be at least two thousand spiritual stones!"
"Two thousand spirit stones to buy a top-quality soul-based magic weapon? Dream on! If it's this price, I'll take it all!"
"I finally got a soul stone. If any of you fellow disciples have extra soul stones, please lend them to me immediately. I will definitely return them in full in one month!"
Han Jiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and was surprised when Yun Que took out thousands of soul stones.
As neighbors in Yanmen Town, Han Jiao knew about 80% of Yun Que's net worth, if not very clear.
With the financial resources of the Hou family, they can't even keep up with the Han family.
As the second young lady of the Han family, she, Han Jiao, was able to get a middle-grade magic weapon during the sword trial. Yun Que tried swords for five years before he could get a low-grade magic weapon.
There is no need to compare the financial resources of the two families. You can tell who is higher and who is lower at a glance.
However, it has only been more than a month since I came to the Sword Palace, and I can easily pick up thousands of soul stones, which shows that I am bound to have an adventure.
"Looking for opportunities..."
Han Jiao repeated the advice Yun Que gave her. Although she was shocked, she became more confident in cracking the Longling Root.
Luo Xiaoyu's mind was not on the soul stone. She stared with big eyes, waiting to see how embarrassed Chu Hu would be in the end.
If you offend Senior Brother Yun, there will definitely be no good consequences. This is the deep-rooted thought in Luo Xiaoyu's heart.
Chu Hu was immediately stunned.
Staring straight at the soul stone on the stage.
He never dreamed that a mere sword servant could easily pick up treasures worth thousands of spiritual stones.
And it seems that the price of this soul stone will definitely exceed one thousand spirit stones.
How can it be!
Chu Hu couldn't believe how the down-and-out Hanshui Hou became so rich!
Not to mention his sword, even the elders couldn't swing thousands of spirit stones without blinking!
When the noise gradually died down, Yu Qingfu looked down at Chu Hu from a high position on the wooden platform and said coldly:
"They can get thousands of spirit stones, and there is no malicious increase in price. So, now it's your turn to pay."
