Chapter 98 Black Market Auction
On this day, Bai Fei accompanied Mr. Mao into a black market.
At this time, Mr. Mao naturally already knew Bai Fei's cultivation level. He did not tell Bai Fei that he had actually contributed a lot to the result of such grouping. Seeing that Bai Fei was not as busy practicing as others, he pulled him along to attend a black market auction held by a friend.
In the central imperial capital, especially in the imperial city, there are few public auctions. Therefore, the auction in the black market has attracted many people to participate. However, you can't participate in such an auction if you want to. Without an invitation from someone you know, you won't even know where the event is held, let alone participate.
When it comes to the black market, the first thing that comes to mind is the dark underground, but that is not the case here. In the Imperial City, since there is no public auction, this so-called black market auction has long been tacitly approved by the powerful people in the Holy Palace. Therefore, there is no need to hide in the dark underground for this black market. No, the black market auction that Bai Fei accompanied Mr. Mao to attend was located in a splendid mansion.
"Hello, Mr. Mao, welcome. The master has been waiting inside for a long time."
When he arrived at the door, an old man greeted him respectfully.
Before entering the door, a hearty voice came out: "Brother Mao, thank you for coming, I am really flattered!"
"Brother Chen, don't say any polite words. I'm still waiting to see what treasures you have collected? By the way, I brought a little friend here. Brother Chen, you won't mind, right?" Mr. Mao greeted him. Go up and say.
"I don't dare. Since I am Brother Mao's friend, I am naturally also my friend. I wonder what I call this little friend?" The old man surnamed Chen looked at Bai Fei and said.
"His name is Bai Fei, and he is a contestant in this Fair of Immortals." Before Bai Fei could speak, Mr. Mao took over the conversation.
"Okay, okay, Brother Mao, let's go in now." The old man surnamed Chen glanced at Bai Fei. Although he was a little confused about why Bai Fei didn't seize the time to practice, it seemed that Mr. Mao didn't want to say more about him. Something happened, he hurriedly recovered his thoughts.
Soon, the old man surnamed Chen ushered Mr. Mao and Bai Fei into a VIP room, then apologized and left. I guess there were still many things for him to do. After a while, a pretty girl walked in. The girl saluted them and introduced herself as the contact person for this VIP room. Mr. Mao and Bai Fei didn't take it seriously and waited for the auction to start.
Bai Fei saw that there were many VIP rooms here. It was not like there were so many rules in Santong City before. Looking at the venue in front of the stage, people were already taking their seats one after another. This kind of black market auction looks like a private store, but its scale is quite spectacular.
After about an hour, the auction finally started.
The old man surnamed Chen walked up to the stage and said some polite words. He basically said that he had collected some valuable treasures and held this auction specifically in the hope of attracting the attention of his friends. After a brief speech, he sat quietly aside while someone else came to preside over the auction. This person was obviously the auctioneer he hired from outside.
The auctioneer first introduced some rules, saying that friends who are interested in the auction items must use crystal stones for delivery on the spot, and barter for items is not accepted. This is obviously because the owner of an auction like this does not have the ability to hire some masters who specialize in appraising treasures. Even if others can get the treasures, he has no way to conduct appraisals and exchanges.
Soon, a graceful girl came up carrying the first auction item. In a place like this, hiring some beautiful girls to appear on the stage will not only enliven the atmosphere of the venue, but also impress everyone. Everyone has a love for beauty, and no one is immune from falling into clichés when it comes to the measures taken for such activities.
When this first auction item appeared, Bai Fei couldn't help but be disappointed. As soon as the auctioneer introduced it, the box contained 10 Variety Pills. Bai Fei is naturally very familiar with this Variety Pill, but he doesn't like this kind of pill at all now and has no need for it, but others don't, not to mention there are 10 pills in total. Soon, everyone was bidding enthusiastically, and finally this box of Variety Pills also had an owner.
Bai Fei didn't believe that there would be no treasures he liked in such an auction. This was just the first auction item, so he waited patiently.
Unfortunately, after more than a dozen auction items were unveiled, there was nothing he liked. Not to mention that his vision has naturally become higher than before. Even Mr. Mao, who has seen many priceless treasures, looks a little disappointed like Bai Fei.
"Girl, you can also bid, otherwise, others will think we are just here to join in the fun!" Mr. Mao suddenly said.
The girl he was talking about was naturally the contact person for this VIP room. She just introduced herself as Tang Dan and her last name was Ying. At this time, the auction was coming to an end, but the two guests in this VIP room didn't even bother to bid. It didn't mean anything, she was already numb. When I heard what Mr. Mao said, my heart moved, but how could I dare to make any unauthorized claims?
"Xiao Fei, it seems I brought you to the wrong place." Mr. Mao naturally knew Bai Fei's vision, and sighed and continued, "Xiao Fei, how about we leave now?"
"Mr. Mao, wait..." Bai Fei suddenly trembled all over.
"What?" Mr. Mao was very confused when he saw that he suddenly became excited. He couldn't help but look at the auction table, but he didn't know why Bai Fei's mood fluctuated so much.
At this moment, Bai Fei was really excited, so excited that he even got carried away. After the auction item came on stage, as soon as the auctioneer opened the box, Bai Fei's whole body was shaken. For him, that thing was really too familiar. He was a little skeptical at first, but after the auctioneer's explanation, he finally confirmed that he was right. Yes, the box on the stage contained nutrients that Bai Fei had been searching for day and night, and there were three small bags at once. Although he didn't know why it was divided into three small bags, he no longer had the time to think about it. question. Now the tree of life is in bud and will bloom and bear fruit one day sooner or later, but he still has no way of knowing what that unknown plant is. Without the continuous supply of these mysterious nutrients, he doesn’t know when and where it will be. Yue can find out the truth.
Regarding this nutrient, it is obvious that the seller does not know its use, so the base price is not high. But everyone is not immune to these rare things. Although the base price is not high, it was soon sold to the price of 500 yuan for high-quality crystal stones.
"Miss Tang, I am determined to get this thing, so bid boldly." Bai Fei hurriedly ordered.
Tang Ying was stunned for a moment when she heard it. Although she didn't understand why he was so fond of this thing, she was already a little impatient and quickly got involved.
After a while, these three bags of nutrients were quickly priced at a high price of 50 pieces of special crystal stones. Tang Ying glanced at Bai Fei hesitantly, as if asking if the price should be increased.
Before Bai Fei could say anything, Mr. Mao stretched out a finger towards her.
"100 pieces of special crystal stones?" Tang Ying asked.
When the special crystal stone was auctioned, everyone had already added ten yuan to the price. He added 50 special crystal stones this time. No wonder she was a little confused.
"No..." Mr. Mao shook his head and continued to say lightly, "A piece of holy crystal."
"Holy... holy crystal!" Tang Ying took a breath. She had never seen what this holy crystal looked like. He was willing to pay such a high price for such an inconspicuous thing. He was immediately stunned on the spot.
"Mr. Mao, thank you!" Bai Fei trembled. He was not reluctant to part with this piece of holy crystal. No matter how high the price was, he would not frown. You must know that crystal is easy to get, and this nourishment is really good. It's something you can't find. He secretly blamed himself for being so excited that he didn't raise the price to a point that would scare others early, resulting in repeated speculation. As the saying goes, Mr. Mao has rich experience and made sure that Bai Fei was determined to get this thing, so he made this move, which made Bai Fei very grateful.
"Miss Tang, just call her!" Seeing Tang Ying's hesitation, he urged.
"good……"
Tang Ying composed herself and finally shouted loudly: "In VIP room No. 1, Mr. Mao is offering a piece of holy crystal!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the venue. Not only that such a high price deterred them, but the key was Mr. Mao, who didn't know? Even if he doesn't offer such a price, who would have the nerve to snatch something he likes from him? Even the face of the old man surnamed Chen couldn't help but change. Originally, the price of this item had far exceeded his expected price, and he thought he could make a big profit. When Mr. Mao made a move, his dream was immediately shattered. How could he? It's easy to take action once, so he can't be shameless and accept this piece of holy crystal, right? When I was feeling depressed, an idea suddenly occurred to me and I signaled the auctioneer to make the final decision. Yes, he no longer worries about the gains and losses, just think of it as a favor. People like him know deep down that sometimes, favors always come first before anything else.
"Miss Tang, this is a reward for you."
After getting these three bags of nutrients, Bai Fei felt very happy and took out a special crystal stone and handed it to Tang Yingdao.
"Sir, I don't dare accept this..." Tang Ying said excitedly.
"Girl, feel free to accept the things I've given you." Mr. Mao interjected.
"Take it." Bai Fei grabbed her hand and put the special crystal stone into her palm.
"Thank you, sir." Tang Ying's face turned red for no reason. She didn't know whether it was because of shyness or excitement. Based on her reward for doing such work, this special crystal stone is worth her twenty years of hard work.
"Mr. Mao, please don't snatch it from me!"
When the three bags of nutrients were delivered, Bai Fei saw that Mr. Mao was about to deliver the goods and hurriedly spoke.
"All right."
After hearing this, Mr. Mao did not insist. Originally, he wanted to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha. Anyway, he could conclude that his friend did not dare to accept this piece of holy crystal. Now Bai Fei took action. He thought that not long after he came, this piece of holy crystal would be used. The first-grade crystal will be returned to his own house, but he should think carefully about how to return this holy-grade crystal to Bai Fei in the future.
After getting these three bags of nutrients, Bai Fei didn't want to stay any longer. Soon, he and Mr. Mao left.
Watching their leaving figures, Tang Ying gently touched the special crystal stone in her hand, her heart pounding like a deer.
