Chapter 1095

~6 min read 1,197 words

Zhao Chi's two kinds of fertilizer are irreplaceable.

So they're just as dangerous as fashion items.

Moreover, selling this kind of fertilizer would definitely be done by the ton, which is also very inconvenient.

Since they're both dangerous, why not sell fashion items instead?

Fashion items are clean and convenient.

Especially stockings—their sales aren't low either, and a storage ring can carry tens of thousands of pairs.

Then forget it, these two kinds of fertilizer will just be used by ourselves.

Coming back to his senses.

Gu Qing and the others had already purchased a batch of cosmetics, spending a total of 33 gold coins.

All were exquisite little boxes.

They were gifts bought for all the women in the entire territory.

This time the expense was a bit high, so Gu Qing specifically gave Zhao Chi a heads-up.

Although 33 gold coins looked like a lot, averaged out, each woman only got a few hundred copper coins.

Zhao Chi naturally agreed.

And gave them another 50 gold coins.

This time Gu Qing refused the money.

The biggest reason was, there was no time left.

Gu Qing smiled and waved her hand: "My lord, it's already past ten o'clock, we should head to the auction house. We've finished browsing too, we won't need this money, please put it away."

"Oh, should we buy some food on the way?"

Gu Qing smiled and said: "We still have a few gold coins left, food is very cheap, this is more than enough."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Alright, the place we're going to this time is the Nice Auction House, in the southwest direction."

Gu Qing said: "Mm, I've already mapped out the route. My lord, when you attend the auction, will you need to come out?"

If going out...

There's no need.

Moreover, at this kind of large-scale auction, everything being auctioned inside is premium goods.

Absolutely worth a fortune.

There are still 5,148 gold coins now, which is definitely a huge sum.

If participating in the auction, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.

Continuing to stay inside Tang Ruan's body can also serve the purpose of concealing his identity.

"No, my spiritual power can still sustain quite a bit, I can last a long time inside Tang Ruan, I won't come out."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Can still last a long time? That line sounds really familiar."

Zhuang Ya didn't quite understand.

But Tang Ruan and Qi Yue exchanged a knowing smile.

They could also hear it often.

Zhao Chi laughed and said: "What's wrong? What I said isn't false, which of you hasn't experienced it? And I'm much stronger than before now, when the time comes I'll let you see it properly."

Gu Qingjiao laughed and said: "Alright then, we'll be waiting to see you display your mighty prowess. Let's set off now, to the Nice Auction House, I'll lead the way."

Zhao Chi actually didn't quite understand why the auction had to be held at such a late hour.

But since he was attending someone else's auction, he had to abide by their schedule.

It didn't matter anyway.

The few of them quickly arrived outside the auction house.

This Good Auction House was very large.

It was a 5-story squat stone building.

It was also built using black stone, looking somewhat oppressive.

However, the area of this auction house was quite large, it was unknown just how big the auction hall inside actually was.

Worthy of a large-scale auction, the outside was packed with people.

Various races mingled together, slowly moving inward.

Some children were very excited, as if they were about to visit a museum.

The road was already jammed.

Horse carriages and spirit-powered vehicles couldn't get in at all, and the horse carriages and spirit-powered vehicles inside couldn't get out either—completely gridlocked.

It was Zhao Chi's first time seeing spirit-powered vehicles in Black Crystal Town; he had originally thought there weren't any here.

The road was impassable.

The sky was passable.

Winged bats kept appearing in the sky, continuously ferrying people down.

Besides the winged bats, some large red birds had actually appeared as well—this was also Zhao Chi's first time seeing them.

And those large red birds were clearly a more advanced mode of transport.

Each bird's back had seats, seating at most 4 people.

These birds flew very steadily, and landed very steadily too.

Completely unlike those winged bats that nearly threw people off.

The people getting off the large birds and spirit-powered vehicles should all have a certain status.

Most of them were dressed in splendid clothes.

His expression was haughty.

He walked calmly and confidently through the VIP corridor straight into the auction house.

Ordinary people, meanwhile, could only enter slowly through the main gate.

Zhao Chi and his group also queued up.

They soon entered the Gude Trading House.

The interior was very spacious.

The floor and walls were all pale yellow stone bricks.

There were many Spirit Energy lamps.

The cool light shone on those yellow bricks, refracting into a warm yellow glow.

The illumination made everywhere look brilliantly lit.

The crowd split into several streams in the entrance hall.

It turned out the auction house held not just one auction, but several running at the same time.

Many children headed to the east side of the second floor, where the pet and high-end toy auction was held.

Slave owners and slave merchants headed to the west side of the second floor, where the slaves and captives were.

Quite a few women headed to the east side of the third floor, where the ladies' fashion auction was held.

Zhao Chi also wanted to go take a look.

There would only be ordinary super-modified fashion there, nothing really worth seeing.

The west side of the third floor was the men's fashion auction — also worth seeing or skipping.

The fourth floor was the equipment auction, divided into a weapons session and an armor session.

And the fifth floor was the VIP auction.

The VIP auction was a real mishmash, with all kinds of items.

Zhao Chi's purpose this time was to go up to the fifth floor and take a look.

However, Tang Ruan and the others were all wearing cloaks plus face masks — fine out on the street, but here they drew far too much attention.

Just as they were about to go up to the fifth floor, before even setting foot on the stairs, they were stopped by a staff member.

"Good day, guests. The fifth floor is the VIP-exclusive auction. Please show your ID card or VIP card."

Zhao Chi's group had no such card.

"We don't have one. We just came to have a look around."

The staff member politely refused: "I'm sorry, but if you're only here to observe the auction, you can't enter."

Zhao Chi said: "I'm not here to observe. I want to take part in the bidding."

The staff member smiled: "Oh, I see, miss. If you're not a VIP, you need to verify your assets before entering, and you need to purchase a temporary ID card for 1 gold coin, plus 10 silver coins per accompanying person."
