Chapter 383: An Auction House Full of Opportunities and Dirtiness

The woman wanted to say that they were bad friends, but the string of reason in her mind stopped her.

Don't think that the three colleagues can complain together just because they are crying miserably. If they really leave a handle, they will not hesitate to tell their boss.

Plastic sisterhood is not as good as real benefits.

From Gu You's action of protecting her just now, she felt that the guests he had received before were different. The little conscience left prompted her to lower her voice and say: "Guest, please go back today."

"They are here, inside the auction house."

The words were not finished, but the girl believed that Gu You could understand what she meant.

"Thank you, take us in."

Gu You smiled: "We are at the door, how can we not go in and find out."

"But inside"

"Shh~" Gu You extended his index finger, signaling the girl not to continue talking.

"The only guy who was not injured because he entertained guests, if the guests turned around and left, I guess others would gossip about him."

"So, lead the way. Let me take a good look at the Seaside City Auction House."

The girl understood, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, and she made a gesture of invitation: "Guest, please follow me."

Walking into the auction house, it was a mess.

The milky white marble floor was full of traces left by the raging of horse hooves, and the relief decorations carved by various famous artists on the walls were covered with black marks left by whips. The porcelain and armor and other decorations that should have been placed on both sides of the passage were now all broken and fell to the ground.

Every few steps, a person sitting on the ground against the wall and groaning would appear on the side of the passage. Judging from the uniform uniforms, they were all staff hired by the auction house, and they suddenly suffered an unexpected disaster while working.

This hellish scene made Ma Hongjun and Oscar cover their hearts.

It's not that they feel sorry for people, but they feel sorry for the broken decorations.

People don't matter. If all the things are given to Flanders, the academy can at least last another 20 years.

Oscar approached Ma Hongjun secretly and whispered, "Should we secretly take a few pieces back?"

The porcelain and calligraphy and paintings were probably hopeless, but armor and other weapons were different. Even if they were broken into pieces, they could be burned again.

If we burn some gold bricks and take them back, Flanders will probably laugh his ass off.

"I don't think it's a good idea."

Ma Hongjun was a little moved at first. Oscar could think of it, and he, as Flanders's direct disciple, could also think of it.

Thinking of Flanders' teachings to him after Yu Xiaogang left, Ma Hongjun shook his head firmly: "The auction house is not an enemy."

Shrek's school motto is "Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre", but causing trouble is not the same as kicking someone when they are down. Kicking someone when they are down is what Shrek will do in 10,000 years, but Shrek now can't do it.

You can be a thief at any time, but the only time you can't is now.

On the other hand, Gu You just felt that his eyes were opened.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes just now, Gu You couldn't imagine that there was a freak like Qi Tao who rode a horse and beat people indoors just by looking at the traces.

I thought that Xiao Chenyu, who was twelve years old and dated a six-year-old girl, was already the limit of being a playboy in Douluo Continent, but I didn't expect that there would be a higher mountain.

"Ah~ sneeze--!"

"Chenyu, have a cold?"

In the Lord's Mansion of Notting City, Xiao Chenyu rubbed his nose, scratched his head, and replied: "I'm fine, father."

He didn't know that his ranking in Gu You's heart had risen.

Keep going forward, turn right in front of the hall door, and then walk past two corners. The girl brought the three people to a minimalist door.

Objectively speaking, this door is actually not very minimalist. But compared with other places in the auction house, the door with only two goose egg-sized rubies on it is indeed qualified to be minimalist.

There was a fully armed guard standing on each side of the door. When the two saw the girl coming with three strangers, they moved sideways to block the door, stared at her, stuck their spears on the ground, and shouted, "Who are you?"

The girl bowed and said, "I am Wu Juanjuan, who is responsible for welcoming guests. Take the three guests behind to find Supervisor Qi to handle the bidding qualification certification."

After that, she handed over Gu You's martial arts card with both hands.

'Qi? '

The familiar surname made Ma Hongjun and Oscar frown and realize that something was wrong.

"Oh?"

One guard picked up the martial arts card and checked it, while the other guard looked at the three people from top to bottom. Seeing that the three people looked young, there was a trace of contempt in his eyes.

"Okay."

After confirming the authenticity of the martial arts card, the guard put the card back in Wu Juanjuan's hand, put away his spear and said, "Go in."

After the two guards made way, Wu Juanjuan knocked on the door. After hearing the words "come in" from inside, she pushed the door open carefully and entered.

The office was very large, with an area of ​​200 square meters. The specially made golden soul guide lamp hung on the ceiling, making the whole room seem to be surrounded by golden light.

There are precious oil paintings hanging on the walls, any one of which is enough for Shrek Academy to spend a whole year luxuriously. The floor is covered with soft cashmere carpets, and the soft touch makes people feel like walking on clouds.

The most noteworthy thing is that a whole piece of transparent crystal is installed on the wall on the left side of the room. Through special treatment, people in the room can see outside through the crystal window, while people outside can never see what is happening inside the room.

And outside the crystal window is the auction center, the core and key auction center of the auction house.

"What's going on?"

Behind the huge dark brown desk, sat a man with a strong presence. He was quite burly, with broad shoulders and thick hands, which inexplicably gave people the feeling of a 45-year-old weight-loss version of Gu You.

It's a pity that his face completely destroyed his strong temperament.

Small and sparse eyebrows, coupled with deep triangular eyes, are the so-called rat eyes. Even though he has a strong body that can compete with Gu You, his first impression is that of a thief in a high position.

He seems to have a lot on his mind.

Wu Juanjuan said: "Director Qi, these three guests want to apply for bidding qualification certification."

The supervisor named Qi raised his eyes and stayed on Gu You for a while. Then he waved to Wu Juanjuan and motioned for her to quickly take what she was holding.

Wu Juanjuan didn't dare to delay and trotted over to hand the martial soul card into his hand. Manager Qi looked back and forth and said contemptuously: "The lowest level thing."

As he said that, he threw the card on the table. He leaned back and said in a condescending tone: "Take out another twenty thousand."

"Huh?" Ma Hongjun was shocked: "Isn't the deposit only 10,000 gold soul coins?"

Director Qi replied: "It is true that it only costs 10,000 gold soul coins, but that is the price for one person. Now that there are three of you coming in, it is reasonable to increase the deposit to 30,000 gold soul coins."

Manager Qi took a matter-of-fact tone and immediately silenced Ma Hongjun, Oscar and Wu Juanjuan.

"Isn't that right?" Gu You narrowed his eyes: "One voucher can enter three people at the Tiandou City auction house, but if it is changed to the Haibin City auction house, one voucher can only enter one person?"

"Forget it, I won't go in. Give me the spirit card back."

There was no provocation in Gu You's tone, but Manager Qi jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on. The muscles all over his body were tense, and the aura belonging to the Soul King poured out mercilessly towards Gu You and the four others.

"So what about Tiandou City? This is a coastal city, and my Qi family is the sky here."

"Anyone who comes in has to pay, and quickly hand over 20,000 gold soul coins, or else he will keep his belongings as collateral."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Gu You's wrist and Ma Hongjun's right hand intentionally or unintentionally, and he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips greedily.

Storage Soul Guidance Device, his intuition told him that these people must have storage soul guidance devices. The gold soul coin is not important at all, his goal is only the storage soul guide.

The storage soul guide has a price but no market, so as long as he gets it, it is his. Even if these people save enough money and want to redeem it in the future, it will be fine if it is stolen by a thief.

If it really doesn't work, just bow and kneel down, there will always be a solution.

After all, I apologized, what else do you want from me?

Gu You took a step sideways to protect Wu Juanjuan, who was obviously not a soul master, behind him.

Ignoring the Soul King's aura, he went upstream, walked to the desk with a smile, and said to the slightly shocked Manager Qi, "I'm sorry, I don't have any gold soul coins with me anymore."

Manager Qi was overjoyed and said eagerly: "Then take the valuable things with you."

"But I have this, let's see how much it's worth."

Gu You took out a token from the soul guide and placed it on the table, then gently pushed it towards Director Qi.

"What a waste!!!"

The huge word "snow" on the token, as well as the white swan spreading its wings behind it, made Manager Qi swallow the words he almost blurted out.

"break?"

Gu You tilted his head pretending to be confused, and was so frightened that Manager Qi grabbed the token and kicked the desk away.

"This broken table has actually defiled His Highness the Crown Prince's token."

Wiping the token with a silk cloth that was conjured up from nowhere, Manager Qi bent down and said respectfully: "Sir, your token."

"Oh, Director Qi, what do you mean?"

Gu You's eyes widened in surprise, and he stretched out his hand to help Manager Qi up: "I just want you to estimate how much the token is worth."

With just one sentence, Gu You made Director Qi's face turn pale, his forehead was sweating, his muscles were tense all over, and he wouldn't even let Gu You lift him up even if he died.

Because he knew that if he was helped up by Gu You now, even if he could successfully fool him, his body would be found on the sea the next day.

After investigation, the cause of death was that he was attacked by a sea spirit beast while swimming at night.

No joke, based on his understanding of his eldest brother, in order to calm the anger of His Royal Highness, his eldest brother would definitely throw him out to block the knife.

Seeing that Supervisor Qi couldn't get up, Gu You took back his token and shouted with a cold face: "Get out of here."

"yes!"

Feeling a light touch in his hand, Manager Qi's face was filled with joy. Faced with Gu You's order, he rolled on the ground without saying a word.

It doesn't matter if he's embarrassed, as long as he can survive, it's okay to let him eat from the toilet.

"Hmph~"

Glancing contemptuously at the dusty Director Qi, Gu You sat on the sofa swaggering and complained: "Idiot, you're wasting my precious time."

With that said, Gu You pointed at Wu Juanjuan and said, "Come here."

Wu Juanjuan was dumbfounded: "Me?"

"Yes, come here and give me a squeeze on your shoulders."

Gu You's tone was completely different from before. Wu Juanjuan glanced at Manager Qi who was still rolling on the ground, trotted all the way behind Gu You, stretched out her delicate little hands and put them on Gu You's shoulders.

'so hard. ’

The strange touch on her fingertips made Wu Juanjuan wonder whether the existence in front of her was human or steel. However, she didn't dare to think too much and started massaging directly according to the auction house's instructions.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar were stunned in place, completely unable to understand what had just happened.

Isn't it just a token? Why is Manager Qi acting like a ghost?

Snapped!

Gu You clapped his hands vigorously, pointed at the crystal wall and said to the two stunned people: "If you are curious about the auction house, go and see it."

"yes, Sir!"

They were both moved when they discovered that Gu You still remembered that they wanted to visit the auction house. I walked to the crystal window and looked outside, and found that the window was located at the highest point of the auction center.

Not only can you see the circular podium in the center, but you can also clearly see the circles of seats arranged in a ring around the podium.

At the first moment, the two of them found the valuables they had just met from the red seat closest to the ceremony table.

"The son of the city lord, Qi Tao"

Manager Qi, who was rolling on the ground, heard the name and his heart skipped a beat.

Gu You, who was always paying attention to Manager Qi, touched his chin thoughtfully and said, "Get up."

"yes."

Manager Qi got up from the ground and heard Gu You ask a question that he didn't want to answer at all: "What's your name, Qi Tao, who are you?"

Manager Qi rolled his eyes, knelt down on the ground with a weak foot, and replied with a sad face: "Sir, the name of the younger one is Qi Langhai, and Qi Tao is my eldest brother's child."

Qi Langhai played a trick. He could have simply said that Qi Tao was his nephew. Because he didn't know whether Qitao had any holiday with the prince's envoy in front of him, he could only prioritize self-protection.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a ruthless figure who forced the palace to ascend to power. Now he is in the limelight. It is said that he has even won the allegiance of Imperial Marshal Ge Long from Emperor Xueye.

His Qi family has deep roots in the coastal city. Faced with the prince who is about to ascend the throne, he must now avoid the spotlight and try his best to please his envoy.

"I see."

Gu You's body sank into the sofa, with one hand on his head and the other tapping on his thigh. His eyes were so deep that Qi Langhai lowered his head in fear and did not dare to breathe.

‘Oh~, I wouldn’t be greedy if I had known better. ’

Qi Langhai secretly regretted it in his heart.

The rules of the Seaside City Auction House are the same as those of the Tiandou City Auction House. Three people can enter with one voucher. But the eldest brother's son had just lost a lot of money at the auction house, and he wanted to make it back from a few stupid young people.

The constant smooth sailing made Qi Langhai lose his judgment. It's fine now. I haven't made any money, and I've also offended the prince's messenger. Now I guess I'll have to pay a lot more money.

As time passed, Ma Hongjun and Oscar stood by the window, watching the auction items on the stage find their owners one after another.

Yes, it's the owner, not the user. Everything is just as Gu You said, slaves are an important commodity in the auction house and it is impossible not to appear.

Ma Hongjun felt numb as he watched the beautiful women go up and down one after another.

The slave trade was obviously prohibited in both empires, but now such a dirty transaction was happening openly in front of his eyes.

"How about it? It's interesting."

Gu You showed an extremely evil smile. When he got up from the sofa, he pointed at Wu Juanjuan behind him and said to Qi Langhai, "I'll take her away. Go back and tell Brother You that I will visit you tomorrow."
