As if due to the more chaotic situation in the city at this time, the number of people coming and going from the auction house seemed much less than what Duan Qing had imagined. Fortunately, more and more players have attracted attention due to their growth in strength and assets. With the increase in the number of people, they began to frequent such high-end consumption venues, which brought some vitality to the auction house that seemed to have been in a lot of depression. The group of players walking in this building has also changed from the previous large guilds to more idle people. No matter their weapons, equipment, or conversation, they look no different from the ordinary people who hang out in the supermarkets on weekdays. , who seemed to have accumulated a lot of connections and reputations, were now distributed in every corner of the auction house, chatting familiarly with the auctioneers and salespeople here.
Of course, these emerging players and the auctioneers who still exist here seem to have forgotten the original name of this guild and what it represents.
"Oxon? Who is he?"
Smiling and looking at the Duan Qing duo who appeared in front of them, an auction house attendant standing near the door then answered the question Duan Qing just raised: "The boss of our auction house is Mr. Ted Voy , if you two have anything and want to meet with the boss——"
"No, no, no, we don't mean that." Waving his hands as a signal of rejection, Duan Qing hurriedly replied: "I just want to find out about Oxon... Well, how long have you been working in this place? ?”
"Sir?" The smile gradually disappeared, and the waiter looked Duan Qing up and down with incomprehensible eyes: "Please forgive me for not being able to recognize your mister, but if you want an experienced staff member to come and contact you, you can Just say it directly.”
"I don't have as much inner drama as you imagined." So Duan Qing rubbed his eyebrows vigorously: "I just want - uh, forget it."
"There's probably no hope."
Recalling the guy who once entered a different world of energy storms with him and then disappeared in a trick of fate, Duan Qing finally put away his sigh. He looked around and looked around, which were also completely renovated. The interior of the auction house looked brand new, and then he looked towards the depths of the passage where Xue Ling Huan Bing had been watching and said: "Since the boss has changed so smoothly, let's not continue to pursue this meaningless issue."
"If you two have any objections to our auction house, just mention it to us." The waiter still followed Duan Qing perseveringly: "Of course, if you insist on meeting the boss -"
"Is your boss so easy to see?" Blocking Duan Qing's side, Xueling Huanbing's voice also blocked the waiter's words from Duan Qing's body: "That one is called Terry It’s still Ted’s… Isn’t he afraid that we are gangsters or bad guys?”
"Bad guy? You may have some misunderstanding about us, madam." His eyes turned to the direction of Xue Ling Huan Bing, and the waiter's smile also had a deep meaning in his voice: "There has always been no one in the City of Freedom. There is no shortage of 'bad guys', and complete vigilance and vigilance are completely inconsistent with the business style. We have enough strength and generosity to show our enthusiasm to every guest who comes -"
"That's why we can have a foothold in this city."
Following his direction, Duan Qing returned his gaze to the depths of the auction house in front of the corridor. The familiar stairs and wide hall slowly appeared in front of the two people as they went deeper. Accompanying them are countless figures of famous players sitting beside them. Ruoyouruowu's eyes also flashed over their heads as the man and woman entered. Some of them also stayed on the name representing the player ID for a few seconds, and they were obviously aware of the attention. Xue Ling Huan Bing then pulled her hood and frowned, and then Duan Qing's voice came to her ears: "Is this your first time in this place?"
"...Not really."
"There is no way to hide the name ID from those people, so it is inevitable to expose the target."
Pointing in a certain direction to the side of the hall, Duan Qing took the lead and walked towards an inconspicuous seat in the corner: "Fortunately, the beast like No. 2 in the world is not here, otherwise today's trip would have been in vain. .”
"It's as if we have money now." Taking a deep breath, Xue Ling Huan Bing finally responded with the corner of his mouth that he couldn't help but raise: "I tell you, Qing Ling Adventure Group can give you We only have 10,000 gold coins at our disposal, and we don’t want to be impoverished again because of you.”
"Ten thousand."
The bitter smile on his face became more obvious, and Duan Qing slowly sat down in the seat in the corner of the hall he had chosen: "Ten thousand yuan is a lot in other places, but it is really too much in a place like this." If there is less, if any rare treasures really appear, we may not even be able to compare with someone else’s leg hair.”
"There shouldn't be many people who want something like Dragon Splendor Grass." Once again, he used his cold gaze to push back the hidden gazes surrounding him. Xueling Huanbing then slowly sat down next to Duan. Qing's side: "As long as no one is trying to snatch it from us, can't we just let it take its own course and get this medicinal material?"
"How is it possible that no one wants it?" Pointing to the countless players around him who were discussing and eyeing each other, Duan Qing replied in a low voice with an annoyed look on his face: "Look at the greedy expressions of these guys - I feel sorry for them at this time. The situation is all too familiar, even if it is something that seems to have no purpose, it must be snatched first."
"Okay, then it all depends on your own ability." So Xue Ling Huan Bing had no choice but to put her hands on her back: "Didn't you prepare some alchemy potions? Can you exchange things for things then? It all depends on your mouth."
"No, those things of mine are not worth that much--"
"Alchemical potion?"
The gaze then flashed across the back of Duan Qing's head, and then a low voice drew the attention of both him and Xue Ling Huan Bing. The two people who had been interrupted in the conversation spoke together. After turning their wary eyes, what came into view was a mysterious figure also wearing a cloak and hood, whose appearance and appearance were completely indistinguishable: "What kind of alchemical potion?"
Without the player-like ID that kept flashing in front of him, the figure also sitting in the corner seat seemed to be an aborigine of the free world. The female voice and tone also gradually followed the figure in front of him. The body that turned sideways echoed gently in the ears of Duan Qing, who was gradually leaning back: "I'm sorry to disturb your conversation, but I'm very interested in the alchemy potion you two mentioned. Can you give me a little insight? Take a look?"
"Are you also an alchemist?" After calming down for a moment, Duan Qing quietly exchanged glances with Xue Ling Huan Bing behind him: "It's okay for you to take a look, but generally I won't be around strangers. Take it out in front of me, unless this stranger is my customer..."
"Of course, of course."
The smile in her words became more and more obvious, and the mysterious woman sitting next to Duan Qing nodded skillfully: "If it weren't for trading, who would come to a place like the auction house? After all, we are not just He’s an alchemist, and he’s also a businessman.”
"Shang, businessman?" After looking up and down the dress of the woman who appeared in front of him, Duan Qing's voice became even more surprised: "What are you doing in this auction house? Is there anyone in the next auction?" What products and materials do you need?”
"Even as a businessman, when you encounter good goods, you will take action immediately!" She said this declaration with some dissatisfaction, and the atmosphere surrounding the mysterious woman seemed to become more relaxed with her actions. A little confused: "Can we only be sellers and not buyers?"
"Okay, okay, we understand." Pushing his hands in front of him again, Duan Qing couldn't help but smile a little dryly: "You are also here to participate in the auction, and you want to get some of the usual things from this place. It’s something you can’t get, right? Is it some kind of alchemy potion? Or is it a precious material?”
"If possible, I hope to get the finished product." The voice became a little lower, and the relaxed aura that the mysterious woman originally displayed around her seemed to have subsided a little: "My alchemy level is not good. Gao, it would be a pity if it was really wasted."
"Uh, it's also an alchemy material?" Duan Qing felt an unknown feeling in his heart, and cautiously asked, "What materials do you need?"
"Dragon glow grass."
Without any hesitation or shirk as expected, the mysterious woman spoke her answer without any precautions: "It's a herb that grows in the dragon curtain. I heard it's a special medicine that can be used to treat dragon wounds."
"What?"
Duan Qing shouted in shock, and then shrank his neck under Xue Ling Huan Bing's reminder and the surrounding eyes again: "You, you also want Longhui Grass? It can't be such a coincidence. Bar?
"Why, the two adventurers also know about this herb?" She tilted her head, and the mysterious woman's chin, which was covered by the hood, also showed a little in this movement: "I have been asking about it in the city for a long time. I just found out that this herb will be auctioned today."
"Oh, that's really lucky, hahahaha." Duan Qing let out two awkward laughs with a cold sweat on his face, and then glanced again in the direction of Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was leaning over. : "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence..."
"What did you say?"
"Ah, no, it's nothing." After returning to his normal sitting posture, Duan Qing then sat up straight again after coughing a few times: "Um... uh, you, um... can you tell me a little bit about the price you are prepared to pay? ?"
"Well, I don't have any plans." He withdrew his gaze from the direction of Duan Qing, and the mysterious woman's answering voice also regained the unique female tangled feeling: "I am really busy with my schedule this time. I was in a hurry, so I didn’t make any preparations, and I didn’t bring much money with me... Ah, that’s right.”
"Do you know the value of that medicinal herb?" She suddenly leaned a little closer, and the soft hair tips unique to women also showed a little in front of Duan Qing's more embarrassed face: "We, both of us can pool the money together. Together--"
"I'm sorry, we also want such herbs." Pulling Duan Qing's backward movement into his arms, Xue Ling Huan Bing's indifferent eyes then appeared between the flying long white hair: "We We are considered competitors, so there is no need to talk about cooperation.”
"Well, this is really regrettable." Tilting her head, the mysterious woman then retracted her sitting posture: "I thought there would be no competitors in this auction, but it looks like there will be no competitors at all. It’s impossible.”
"Wish ya'll good luck."
With these last words left, the mysterious figure in the cloak no longer had his own voice. The noise from the front and the announcement of the opening of the auction also occupied the hearings of Duan Qing and others, along with the others. Their collective attention echoed around the hall, which was gradually dimming. Silently watching an auctioneer bring several beautiful beauties to the stage with the items for sale, the gray-robed magician's expression changed from helpless to calm, and he calmed down and then Just watching all kinds of auction items passing by in front of him, the topics he quietly discussed with Xue Ling Huan Bing were far less enthusiastic than the atmosphere gradually building around him: "Then let's see if there are any good items. Well - well, this two-handed sword is very good, the power bonus is so high, and it also has a charged burst effect..."
"A helmet made of silver armor—hum, if they ask for 10,000 gold coins, about 80% of the gold coins will be in the appearance."
"So players' money is really easy to make. Look at the people who are bidding for this Feiyu helmet. Which one of them is not spending a lot of money for the friends hugging them... What do you think? I am a pragmatist. , I can accept no matter how ugly the equipment is!”
"That's why you never understand women's hearts - wait, this long sword seems to be very good, with three strength and three agility. It also has an automatic recovery effect of physical strength when attacking? Do you want to consider it?"
"Who is the pragmatist?"
Glancing at the thing that looked like a fire stick being displayed on the stage, Duan Qing, who pulled Xue Ling Huan Bing back to his seat, stroked his forehead and sighed: "Don't do this, it will make us look very ignorant."
"There's nothing to do anyway, so just think of it as shopping." Xue Ling Huan Bing curled her lips nonchalantly: "Maybe I can pick up something."
"Then what? Do you use it or do I use it?" Watching the hustle and bustle after the next product was put on the table, Duan Qing looked back from the rising wooden signs representing the numbers: "Let's even connect our own Those things haven’t been divided yet, let alone these second-rate goods in front of me——"
"One hundred thousand gold coins."
The low and gentle voice sounded in his ears again, instantly covering up his sigh. The mysterious woman who had communicated with the two people before also put away the hand that held up the number plate. , then tilted her head towards Duan Qing and Duan Qing who were looking at her with a smile.
