Sitting on the sofa in the appraisal room, Li Guanqi, who was a little drowsy, was finally cheered up by this voice.
"What?!"
Li Guanqi stood up from the sofa in astonishment, looked at the seventh-level appraiser Matsushima An behind the desk, and said in shock: "115 million? Are you saying that the sum of all my miscellaneous things can be sold for 115 million gold coins?!
"
He knew that Takagi Kento, the weapon refiner, must be rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich!
"Ha, Mr. Jincheng, these are not miscellaneous."
Songdao An pushed up the special sacrificial glasses on his face and chuckled: "There are a large number of high-level cursed beast cultivation materials here, and there are several types of them, such as Martha's Hulu grass. Only one plant of this kind of grass can be used to cultivate monsters."
Being able to unconditionally upgrade a fourth-level Southern Xinjiang Masha beast to fifth level, for example... ha, forget it, that's not the end of the story.
There are also refining materials. Your refining materials are the most expensive, with a total value of more than 80 million.
In short.
These materials of yours are valuable, including many materials for cultivating cursed beasts, as well as a large number of sacrificial weapons, magic weapons, weapon refining materials, etc., etc., etc., etc., together, the estimated value is 115 million.
But if you want to sell them, I'm afraid few merchants will buy them all at once. After all, these things are too complicated and they are not the same type of materials.
If you find channels to sell by yourself, I think it will be difficult for you to get the price you want.
Let me put it this way, if you trust Miyamoto Auction House, then I will give you one word.
If you take these out and sell them yourself, you can only sell these resources worth 115 million for 90 million at most, or even less.
However, if you are willing to sell all of these to our Miyamoto Auction House, we are even willing to increase the price and give it to you..."
Having said this, Songdao An looked at Li Guanqi and stretched out an index finger on his left hand and two fingers on his right hand.
"120 million."
"oh?"
Li Guanqi suddenly thought like lightning and thought of a lot, "Miyamoto Auction House, when did it start doing large-scale recycling business? Is it... war?"
His eyes narrowed, "Is the Miyamoto Auction House purchasing supplies in preparation for war?"
"Ha ha."
Song Daoan smiled and said, "Mr. Jincheng, I am just a working appraiser. Let's not talk about politics and war, but business. The rules set by the superiors, and I, who is working below, should follow them."
Li Guanqi crossed his arms over his chest and frowned slightly.
The current strange world has not completely broken out into a world war, but it is obvious that all countries in the world know that a storm is coming and have begun to prepare for war in advance.
"Mr. Jincheng, actually there is no need for you to decide whether to sell or not so quickly."
Matsushima An smiled again at this time: "The August auction of our Miyamoto Auction House will be held in three days. You may wish to participate then. If you don't have enough money, the recycling price I gave will still count. That is to say
, you will be able to have a maximum bidding quota of 120 million in the auction."
"I still have gold coins."
With that said, Li Guanqi showed his space necklace to the appraiser again.
"Oh, 82.76 million gold coins."
Songdao An nodded, "Okay, then I will raise the bidding limit for you to 200 million. You can bid up to 200 million in the auction."
"This amount can only be decided in advance?"
Li Guanqi frowned slightly, "In other words, if I spend all 200 million in the auction, I won't be able to temporarily provide you with a gold coin budget for other things, and I won't be able to continue bidding?"
"Our Miyamoto Auction House adopts a virtual trade fair."
Songdao An smiled, "So I'm sorry, as you said, it's like this. Before you participated in the auction, you provided us with proof of your gold coin budget. When the time comes, you can only shout
The price you pay is also to avoid the behavior of some people who have no money and maliciously raise the price."
"I still have this."
Li Guanqi took out a round gemstone that shone with holy white light from the space necklace.
"Eye of Light?!"
Songdao An looked shocked, and quickly took the golden gem with both hands, carefully observed it, and occasionally turned the sacrificial glasses on his face.
"Genuine...this is top quality."
Songdao An put down the Eye of Light and marveled, "I didn't expect that I could see a genuine Eye of Light these days. I thought all the Eyes of Light in the world had been taken back by the Tulip Palace at a high price."
"Including it, how much bidding quota can you give me?"
Li Guanqi said calmly.
"400 million!"
Song Daoan raised his left hand towards Li Guanqi and stretched out four fingers.
"A price of 200 million for an Eye of Light?"
Li Guanqi was slightly stunned.
The Eye of Light is a luxury product that was speculated, but even so, the market value fluctuates between 100 million and 150 million, so Songdao An directly gave 50 million more.
"It's bound to go up."
Matsushima An grinned, "Everything in the world may fall, but as long as the royal family of the Tulip Empire is still named Isabel, the Eye of Light will never fall."
"Okay."
Li Guanqi stepped forward and put away all his things, "Then it will be 400 million. I will come to the auction then."
“Our auction house provides resting areas!”
Seeing that he was about to leave, Matsushima An quickly stood up and said: "Mr. Jincheng, if you don't mind, you can have a good rest in our auction house during these three days."
"That's fine."
Li Guanqi nodded lightly.
…
…
dusk.
The dark red sunset hangs high in the sky and the sun sets in the west.
Behind the venue of the Miyamoto Auction House, there is an extremely high-end small castle, full of Western style, and the entire building is made of white building materials, giving people a relaxed and happy look.
The top floor of the castle.
The sparkling waves reflect the afterglow of dusk by the swimming pool.
Li Guanqi was lying on a bamboo and rattan rocking chair, with his upper body bare and wearing light blue shorts, drinking lemon juice prepared by the auction house and quietly watching the setting sun in the distance.
He even put on a pair of sunglasses at the right time.
This small castle is the high-end guest house of Miyamoto Auction House.
Even though Wangye City is just a small town, since Miyamoto Auction House has opened a branch here, the cards are naturally indispensable, and all the necessary configurations are available.
It's just that Li Guanqi is the only one in this castle now.
Come to think of it, Wangye City is not that big after all.
For this August auction, due to the quality of the auction items, the admission qualifications have been increased, and the minimum bidding amount required is... 80 million!
In other words, if you don't show a worth of 80 million to the appraiser, you won't be able to participate in the August auction, and you won't even be eligible to enter.
And people with such a net worth would not come to a small town like Wangyecheng.
After all, some people attend auctions for social purposes in addition to buying things.
Choose an auction house in a large city. Even if you enter the auction virtually anonymously, at least you can chat with acquaintances in the guest house, and build relationships with strangers and dignitaries.
And... they can actually choose to cancel their anonymity.
This is not required, but optional.
After all, the social nature of auctions is very huge, so Miyamoto Auction House will naturally not choose one size fits all.
The little guy was afraid of being robbed after buying something, so he chose to do the transaction anonymously, and then left via the teleportation array.
But who is afraid of the big shot?
When a member of the rich family of Sakura Kyuubi buys something, who would be afraid of being robbed?
Of course not.
"Jin, Lord Jincheng..."
Suddenly, a timid female voice interrupted Li Guanqi's thinking.
But it’s not actually an interruption.
After all, from the moment the Catwoman stepped into the castle gate, Li Guanqi's extraordinary senses sensed her aura.
"Why are you here...uh..."
Li Guanqi turned his head slightly, took off his sunglasses, and looked at the Catwoman who appeared in front of him, a little stunned.
This Catwoman with short white hair and pink cat ears and tail was the Catwoman receptionist who just welcomed him into Miyamoto's auction house.
But at this time, the Catwoman is no longer wearing a pink ceremonial skirt.
Instead, she was wearing a white three-point bikini that matched the height of the swimming pool next to her. Her pink and white skin, illuminated by the afterglow of dusk, looked even more fragile.
"S-Sir..."
Catwoman seemed very shy, with her face flushed, her head lowered, and her left hand clutching her right arm tightly.
"Oh."
Li Guanqi shook his head and laughed.
He didn't bother to think about whether this Catwoman was pretending to be green tea, or whether she was really shy.
He didn't care, he wasn't interested in this woman anyway.
"Sit down."
Li Guanqi put on his sunglasses again and lay on the bamboo and rattan rocking chair to bask in the sun. While looking at the sunset in the sky, he pointed to another rocking chair a few meters away and said calmly.
"Yes, sir."
Seeing this, Catwoman seemed relieved and sat obediently a few meters away.
"Your boss asked you to come sleep with me?"
Li Guanqi's tone was calm, but his words were direct.
"Um?!"
When Catwoman heard this, her delicate body suddenly trembled.
"Um……"
But she finally lowered her head and nodded slightly, but the shyness on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by... despair.
"Get used to it."
Li Guanqi took a sip of lemon juice, then gently shook the glass, watching the ice cubes and orange lemon juice in the glass collide, "I'm not interested in you, so you can treat it as a vacation here for these three days, but
This doesn't make sense.
Because as long as you work at Miyamoto Auction House, sooner or later you will meet a customer who really needs you to sleep with him, so you have to adapt."
"..."
Catwoman lowered her head, squeezing her fair and plump thighs with both hands, and her eyes filled with tears.
Li Guanqi didn't say anything more.
This is the sorrow of the people at the bottom.
Many times it’s not about what you want to do or what you don’t want to do, but what you can only do.
Li Guanqi looked at Catwoman a few meters away. There was no sense of superiority in his heart, only a desire - a desire for power.
Faced with the demands of her boss, this Catwoman can only come to the castle to sleep with guests even if she is unwilling to do so.
That day, facing the Wang family ancestor's verbal insult to his senior sister, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only kneel beside him, not daring to move.
How similar is this?
Exactly the same!
Even if one is extremely weak, not even at the Yuan level, even if one is somewhat powerful and can kill Liuhe, there is no difference between them.
In the face of stronger power, everyone can only choose to surrender.
So, there is no point in becoming stronger.
Because you are stronger, there will always be someone stronger than you.
What Li Guanqi wants... is to be the strongest!
The strongest one who is invincible to all living beings!
The only difference between Li Guanqi and Catwoman is that Catwoman may never have a chance to turn over in this life, but he does.
And this opportunity is both visible and tangible.
But maybe...he can also let others have it.
"Every orc is a creature of different blood, right?"
Li Guanqi suddenly said this.
"Um?"
Catwoman seemed a little confused. She didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, but she still nodded lightly, "Well, yes."
"Then you were born with the ability to swallow strange blood?"
Li Guanqi asked again.
"certainly."
Catwoman nodded slightly again, "It's just that the efficiency is very low. Compared to humans, we usually need 2-3 times more alien blood to get the same improvement as humans."
"By the way, how did you come to Sakura Shogunate?"
Li Guanqi took a sip of lemon juice.
"I was born here."
Catwoman lowered her head and whispered: "My parents are both slaves bought by Ms. Miyamoto Miyamoto, the person in charge of this auction house, but she is a very nice person. She did not make me a slave, but taught me how to read."
Writing, after I became an adult, she also gave me the opportunity to work at Miyamoto Auction House."
"He is indeed a kind person."
Li Guanqi nodded lightly.
Being kind actually depends on the situation.
As the child of a slave, becoming a slave is common and even a matter of course, but that Miyamoto Muya did not do this, which can certainly be called kind.
As for sleeping with someone... In the weird world, this is really not a sinful thing.
It was too common in the Sakura Shogunate and in all the countries of this era.
"What's your name?"
Li Guanqi looked at the sunset and asked softly.
"Yueyue."
Catwoman lowered her head and whispered.
"That's not the name I asked about."
Li Guanqi took off his sunglasses and looked at her seriously, "I'm asking about your name as a tiger man. Your parents should have given you a clan name, right?"
"ah?"
Catwoman suddenly looked up.
What she saw was an ordinary face and extraordinary, shining black eyes.
"Zachura Moriames."
Catwoman looked into these eyes and unconsciously slowly said her real name and clan name.
"Bang."
Li Guanqi drank up the lemon juice in the glass and placed the glass gently on the table next to him. The glass made a soft sound when it came into contact with the glass table.
The ice cubes collided, and some residual orange lemon juice slowly flowed through the cracks in the ice cubes and settled at the bottom of the cup.
"The green ones are the first-level alien blood, the blue ones are the second-level alien blood, and the purple ones are the third-level alien blood."
Li Guanqi passed by Catwoman, put down a dozen bottles of exotic blood on the table next to her, and then left without stopping.
"Zachura Moriames."
"Send you a message."
"Life starts from a humble beginning, but it does not mean that it can only be at a humble end for the rest of its life."
"Look up and see that the sun has gone down, but it will always rise tomorrow, and so will you."
"This sentence is for you, and also for myself."
…
…
3 days later.
Miyamoto Auction House, August auction begins!
The method of entering the virtual auction venue is exactly the same as when Li Guanqi entered the free trade fair at the Koga Auction House.
That time, he had a fight with Miyamoto Shogo, so it was the person in charge of the Koga Auction House who came to help him enter the virtual transaction with a special sacrificial weapon.
This time, although he didn't cause any trouble, after all, he held a bidding quota of 400 million. In addition, the Wangye City auction house was not big, and he was the only visitor to the auction house, so it also attracted a lot of attention.
Came to look at the person in charge of Yecheng Auction House.
That is Ms. Miyamoto Miyamoto.
After all, if Li Guanqi completes a transaction at the auction house, Wangye City Auction House will also receive a corresponding commission, which will be deducted from the handling fee of the transaction.
The handling fee is generally 5%-10% of the transaction price.
As for this August auction, the entry qualification is 80 million gold coins.
Therefore, according to Li Guanqi's guess, the cheapest lot in this auction should be priced around 60 million to 70 million.
No matter what.
You can tell at a glance.
…
…
"Um?"
Li Guanqi's vision slowly recovered.
What appeared in front of him was a mirror, reflecting a figure in black robes without a face.
Soul power projection, virtual transaction.
Li Guanqi turned around and opened the door.
What comes into view is a huge auction venue.
Those of them who participated in the auction came here through virtual projection.
But the auction venue is not virtual.
The venue of this August auction is real, and the auction items that will be taken out later, as well as the staff of the Miyamoto family, all appear in their true form.
The entire auction stage is paved with red carpet.
Under the auction table, many exquisite seats were laid out in rows. Li Guanqi counted them roughly and estimated that they could accommodate at least tens of thousands of people.
Of course, the number of people participating in the auction at this time was far less than that.
The black-robed figures shuttled between the venues, numbering about 5,600, were scattered on various seats, keeping a distance from the people around them.
In stark contrast to these, there are figures with "humanoid" shapes.
They are also soul projections, but they all have real appearances, luxurious clothes, and their faces may represent the top figures in the Sakura Shogunate... Of course, it is not just the Sakura Shogunate.
Li Guanqi saw many Western faces.
"Everyone, the auction will start in 3 minutes. Please take your seats!"
At this time, a man's voice sounded.
Li Guanqi looked around casually, picked a corner and sat down, waiting for the auction to officially begin.
Hundreds of figures in black robes took their seats one after another.
Those top dignitaries who showed their true appearance continued to communicate with each other and joked endlessly, until finally, they sat at the front of the venue.
“Welcome everyone to the August auction at Miyamoto Auction House!”
A female figure slowly appeared above the auction table, gradually turning from virtual to real.
She was wearing a red short skirt, had a beautiful appearance, and had an infectious smile on her face.
"Oh, it's Misako Miyamoto. It's okay. She's a master who doesn't like nonsense. I like it."
At this time, a dark figure sitting in front of Li Guanqi suddenly muttered a few words.
Li Guanqi was ignorant and had never heard of this name.
"Now, let's officially start the auction and invite our first auction item!"
Misako Miyamoto on the auction stage chuckled loudly and turned to look at the red curtain behind her.
