Chapter 782

~9 min read 1,677 words

If he wanted something, he naturally had to fight for it himself!

If he wanted resources, if he wanted money, he must go to the auction house! Only in this way could he give himself a better future.

Thinking of this, Song Jing couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Someone like me, if I didn't have Big Brother and Second Brother by my side, I'm afraid the auction house wouldn't even let me in..."

Song Jing looked at Chen Ang and Wan Wan Shitong and said in a low voice.

Song Jing was telling the truth!

Before, the first time he went to the auction house, Song Jing hadn't forgotten the scene at that time!

When entering the auction house, the security personnel looked Song Jing up and down, but just because he was standing by Chen Ang's side and carrying a big bag, those people didn't say much.

"You don't need to worry about this."

Chen Ang smiled calmly and patted Song Jing's shoulder. "The auction house is indeed not a place where just anyone can enter; the things you said did indeed happen, but these are all small problems."

Hearing this, Song Jing was slightly stunned.

He saw Wan Wan Shitong, standing to the side, continue: "The kind you mentioned, I estimate those people were cheated by others! The auction house generally doesn't do such things; what kind of place is the auction house? The boss doesn't lack money at all!"

Saying this, Wan Wan Shitong added thoughtfully: "However, it's also possible that the kind you mentioned, Little Jing, were cheated by security personnel or others."

Such things were not impossible.

After all, most ordinary people didn't know the rules of the auction house!

They might just think that as long as they handed the items to the people inside the auction house, it would be safe!

But actually, it wasn't!

Security personnel were only responsible for security and were not responsible for appraising treasures or other things!

To take the items in their hands to auction...

Chapter 833: Just a Plate

Trading items must be handed over to the receptionist, or the appraiser, or the high-level management.

Of course, if the auction house knew that their own people had done such things as cheating people out of items, the high-level management of the auction house would directly execute them in public!

This was an agreement that every person entering the auction house would sign.

If they did things that were devoid of conscience, such as deception or theft, they would be executed in public to serve as a warning.

This wasn't to scare those personnel, but it was true!

Public execution, the auction house hadn't done it just once!

They did this without violating the law; after all, those people had signed the agreement.

Precisely because of this, even if things like what Song Jing said truly happened, most people would still believe the people of the auction house more.

Because those people had all signed the agreement, unless their guts were truly big and they weren't afraid of death, no one would dare to cheat others out of their items.

And the onlookers weren't willing to let the words they said cause innocent people to die!

Thinking of this, Wan Wan Shitong couldn't help but let out a long breath and added: "The rules set by this auction house truly have both benefits and drawbacks."

Chen Ang, standing to the side, said calmly: "Actually, it's better for ordinary people not to go to such places."

"If they go, they are easily eyed by others, and most of them don't have the ability to protect themselves; if they go once, it's possible that after leaving the auction house, their lives will be gone."

Wan Wan Shitong nodded and said: "Indeed."

Hearing Chen Ang and Wan Wan Shitong say this, Song Jing became even more afraid.

He did have a little ability to protect himself, but he didn't want to add trouble to his family!

Seeing Song Jing looking worried, Chen Ang couldn't help but smile and said: "What are you afraid of? We are here! It's just entering an auction house, right? I'll just give you my plate."

People entering the auction house all had to hold a plate to enter.

And those plates of the auction house were also graded!

There were black copper, yellow copper, bronze, silver plates divided into five tiers, gold plates divided into five tiers, and above gold plates were platinum, and then the highest level, black gold!

These plates, besides being given by the auction house based on the other party's status.

They were also slowly upgraded!

The amount of money spent buying or selling at the auction house slowly accumulated.

This meant that even if you were just a black copper novice at the beginning, as long as you had strength, the number of times you came to the auction house was enough, or the amount sold here or the money spent was enough, your status in the auction house would rise accordingly!

The personnel of the auction house only looked at the plate and not the person!

They didn't care what status you had outside, whether you were a young master of some family or the head of a family; if the plate level wasn't high enough, everyone was treated the same.

As long as your plate level was high enough, even if you had no status, you were the master they would kneel and coax!

And Chen Ang's plate was the highest level, black gold!

Black gold plates, not many people had them!

Those were the ones that even high-level management had to speak politely to!

So this was also why every time Chen Ang went to the auction house, those people at the auction house, as long as they weren't newcomers, would revolve around Chen Ang, fearing that they would make Chen Ang unhappy!

Even if Chen Ang brought ten people without plates inside, the treatment of those people brought inside was even better than those holding silver or gold plates!

Those waiters were just afraid that the people Chen Ang brought were also hidden big shots!

If they pleased them and left a good impression, the benefits to them in the future would be quite a lot!

Seeing Chen Ang directly take out the black gold plate and throw it to Song Jing, Wan Wan Shitong, standing to the side, couldn't help but be startled.

"Boss, you..."

Wan Wan Shitong said with a surprised expression, carrying a trace of envy. "You just gave your plate to Little Jing like that? Actually, we could have gotten a plate for Little Jing, there was no need to..."

Before Wan Wan Shitong could finish, Chen Ang interrupted: "Just a plate, I don't care."

Regarding this matter, Chen Ang had never cared much; only those people at the auction house treated him as a god.

This plate of Chen Ang's was slowly upgraded from black copper to the highest level!

For him, black copper and black gold were the same!

Besides, he had been to that auction house so many times; without a plate, those people would let him in just by seeing Chen Ang's face!

"Okay!"

Wan Wan Shitong took a deep breath and said. 【782-

Afterward, he turned his head to look at Song Jing, patted his shoulder, and said, "Xiao Jing, you must keep this safe!"

The trace of envy in Wan Wan Shitong's eyes was simply because the glory he and Chen Ang had slowly fought for until now was being given away by Chen Ang just like that.

He only felt that if he and Chen Ang could have obtained this black gold token directly in the past, their path would have been much smoother.

After all, when Chen Ang and Wan Wan Shitong first wanted to enter the auction house, the people at the auction house wouldn't let them in at all!

And Wan Wan Shitong didn't dare to steal his father's token, nor did he dare to expose his identity!

Later, it was Chen Ang who took out a few magic cores, and only then were they welcomed in, and they were each given a black copper token.

Thinking back, Wan Wan Shitong felt as if those things had happened just yesterday.

"This, this is..."

Song Jing widened his eyes and caught the token Chen Ang gave him, saying.

Seeing Song Jing's surprised expression, Wan Wan Shitong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said, "How about it, aren't your Big Brother and Second Brother amazing?"

Just after saying this, he heard Song Jing say, "This is the entry token for the auction house? Black copper! And it's not a temporary one!"

Once these words were spoken, Wan Wan Shitong was stunned on the spot.

Where was that black copper?

Could black copper be that exquisite?

Moreover, the material used to craft that token looked highly valuable at a glance! It was also inlaid with a circle of gold trim, and on top, it even had a wing design crafted from a rare, hard material.

Anyone who wasn't blind could tell that this was definitely a good item!

However, being told this by Song Jing, Wan Wan Shitong was instead a bit curious—could this thing even have a temporary version?

"What is a temporary one?"

Wan Wan Shitong looked at Song Jing and said helplessly, "Can there even be temporary ones?"

Song Jing widened his eyes, blinked, and nodded.

Looking at Song Jing's dazed appearance, Wan Wan Shitong said helplessly, "Take a good look at the one in your hand; with that kind of material, could it be black copper?"

Once these words were spoken, Song Jing was startled again.

"Not black copper?"

Song Jing muttered softly, "If it's not black copper, what is it? I remember them saying that among the tokens, the black ones are called black copper."

As he spoke, Song Jing was still carefully recalling the gossip he had once heard.
