Chapter 154 The auction ends
Qi Yu looked at the ever-changing prices helplessly, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness due to poverty. As expected, even in this world, having no money is still a deep pain.
Then Qi Yu consoled himself, "It's okay. It's OK if I can't afford it. Even if I take the picture, I don't have the ability to protect it. I might even be hunted down by a powerful force."
Although it may sound a bit like sour grapes, it is indeed the truth.
After a series of bids, the auction price has soared to a terrifying 40 platinums, and is even still growing steadily.
For this reason, Qi Yu no longer had any plans to participate in the bidding. He was just curious about how much this piece of slime could be sold for.
After another half-hour of bidding, the golden slime was finally bought at a high price of 60 platinum coins.
60 platinum coins. I only spent 8 gold coins to buy a life crystal. This money is enough to buy more than 600 life crystals. Not to mention whether I have so many or whether I can absorb so many, just this number is terrifying enough.
As the finale of the auction was completed, the entire auction ended with the auctioneer's announcement. As the screen went out, Qi Yu slowly stood up. Seeing this, a staff member asked, "Do you need to exchange your remaining chips for gold coins?"
Qi Yu glanced at the remaining chips in the tray on the table, then nodded. After all, there was no point in keeping these chips, and he didn't know if he would have another chance to come to the next auction. So instead of keeping these chips that were useless outside, it would be better to exchange them for money, even though he would be charged a handling fee.
After receiving a positive answer, the staff member picked up the tray and motioned Qi Yu to follow. The latter followed the staff's guidance and left the single room.
The two of them walked back along the same route they came from. As they walked in the corridor, Qi Yu silently calculated in his heart: I just roughly counted it, and the chips left in the tray should be worth 24 platinums and 20 gold coins. After deducting the 20% handling fee charged by the weapon shop when exchanging them, the estimated number of gold coins to be obtained should be: 19 platinums and 36 gold coins.
After doing the math, Qi Yu curled his lips slightly, with only one thought in his mind - "Too shady!" This was like going to a weapon shop and earning 5 platinum for nothing without doing anything.
But there is no way around it. After all, these are the rules set by others. If you come to the auction yourself, you have to abide by the rules here. But overall, it is still profitable to come to the auction.
As Qi Yu followed the staff member into the hall again and stood in front of the front desk, there were still two staff members standing at the front desk. Qi Yu watched them communicate with each other, and then began to count the chips on the tray. After a series of operations, one of them handed a purse to Qi Yu.
As Qi Yu finished the calculation, he heard the other party say, "Sir, according to the rules of the weapon shop, we need to charge a 20% handling fee. In the end, the total exchange for you is 19 platinum and 36 gold coins. Please count them."
Qi Yu opened the purse and counted it roughly. After finding that the amount was correct, he nodded slightly and then casually put the purse into the ring.
Then, under the guidance of the staff, he walked out of the underground auction hall. As soon as he arrived at the hall, Qi Yu saw Zhang Xu standing at the door waiting for him.
Qi Yu hurried forward and greeted Zhang Xu: "Teacher, I'm here."
Zhang Xu nodded slightly and asked casually: "Did you take pictures of what you needed?"
Qi Yu nodded and said in surprise, "Yes, teacher. I learned a lot from this auction and saw many interesting things, especially the golden slime at the end. It's so amazing that there are such creatures in the world."
Zhang Xu smiled slightly: "The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. There are many strange creatures like this. You still have a long way to go in life, and you will meet more in the future."
Then she took Qi Yu outside and said as they walked: "After you go back this time, you should go to the seed class to study. When you get there, you must work hard and don't slack off. Don't forget the teacher's expectations of you. Become a teacher-level student and trample those so-called geniuses under your feet!"
When Qi Yu heard this, he couldn't help thinking, "This is the third time she has told me about this. She wants me to become a teacher so much. Adding to the previous discoveries, she must have some intention."
Although he thought so, he couldn't really say these words in front of her, so Qi Yu could only nod and answer: "I understand, teacher! I will definitely work hard."
At this moment, Qi Yu found that Zhang Xu had stopped. Just when he was about to speak in confusion, he saw a little emerald green bird flying quickly in front of Zhang Xu.
Qi Yu was slightly stunned. Isn't this the bird on Wu Yi's shoulder? How did it fly over here? Is it recruiting him? How can that be possible? The teacher is still next to him. If the teacher sees it, won't he be in trouble?
Qi Yu turned his head away and pretended not to know the bird, but he was soon stunned, because the bird was not looking for him, but for Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu was slightly stunned, then snorted coldly and grabbed the emerald green bird hovering in the air. The bird quickly turned into a wisp of white smoke and turned into a piece of letter paper, falling into her hand.
Seeing this, Zhang Xu looked around, then pulled Qi Yu towards a quiet and deserted alley nearby.
Qi Yu followed behind without knowing why, but looking at Zhang Xu's nervous and serious expression, as well as his lack of surprise at the emerald green bird, he suddenly felt that this matter was not simple.
After the two of them entered an alley, Zhang Xu gently opened the closed letter and slowly began to read it. As her gaze moved down, her brows slightly frowned.
Qi Yu stood aside, silent, looking around from time to time, planning his escape route in case of an emergency.
………………
On the other side, in a private house, the Moon Worshiper priest wearing the bird-beak mask and several Moon Worshipers were sitting around a table.
There were several pieces of paper on the table, with various small characters densely written on them, and they were being carefully observed by several Moon Worshipers.
The leading moon-worshipping priest was holding a photo in his hand, and the person in the photo was Zhang Xu.
"She was the one who stole what we wanted?" The Moon Worshiper stroked the photo with his fingers. "A teacher at the Wood Element Academy?"
A believer nearby answered, "Yes, Master Priest, according to the information provided by the Central Weapon Shop, she was the one who stole the flesh and blood of the master."
"Humph! You dare to snatch something that our Moon Worship Sect has set its eyes on. You don't want to live anymore." The Moon Worship Priest slammed the photo heavily on the table, then looked to the side and said:
"Pass the message on, send out all the believers in the city, and make sure to find her. The master's flesh and blood must not be lost. Report to me immediately if you see her!"
"Yes!" After hearing the order, the believers next to them responded and walked out of the hut.
The Moon Worshiper was the only one left in the room, sitting there, sneering from time to time.
