"No, no, that's impossible …"
The manager's head was like a rattle drum. "Erm, rich young master, your suggestion is too harsh. We have a big family to feed as well … If what you've said is true, not only will we not get any scraps, we'll have to pay for firewood as well. How can there be such a logic in this world?"
"Then what do you say?"
"The Ethereal Amethysts you've offered are indeed exceptional items, but we'll make an exception and take five percent is already our limit! As for the additional compensation of a hundred upper-tier spiritual jade pieces, hehe … "The manager was implying something between the lines.
"No, no! I'll be losing too much if we make a deal like that! This is the Ethereal Amethysts we're talking about! A dream item that's rarely seen in this world! How many years has it been since it's appeared in our area? Don't you know how big of a commotion it'll cause once this thing appears? The Ethereal Amethysts that idiot took out a few days ago caused the loss of countless lives. Our piece, on the other hand, has no karmic ties and no repercussions at all. You really don't understand the pros and cons of this! "
"Rich young master, you said yourself that you're a five-thousand-year-old aristocratic family. How can you lose the bearing of an aristocratic family? Shouldn't you at least leave us some leeway? The saying that an auction house is asking for money instead of earning is unheard of in history. This is against the rules! "
"… Forget it. Who asked me to be born in a five-thousand-year-old aristocratic family? I'll take a step back. As for the specifics, you guys can discuss it among yourselves. I've already taken a step back, and I can't afford to lose out again."
"Alright, alright. We'll settle on one point. This is really the limit we can accept. If it's any lower, I'll have to ask you to look elsewhere, young master."
"One point it is. Wouldn't it have been over if you'd said that earlier? Deal!"
"…"
One point. That was … ten percent of ten percent.
One percent!
This could be said to be extremely meager.
The auctioneer immediately realized that he had been tricked. This fellow had put on an attitude that said he would not budge no matter what. He was basically lying in wait to scam him. However, a word was spoken, especially when he was the one who set the price first. There was no way to retract it.
"May I ask how many Ethereal Amethysts you have, young master? Give me an actual number so that I can decide accordingly?" The manager of the auction house was growing more and more indignant. If the other party only had one piece of Ethereal Amethyst after paying such a hefty price, then it would be a huge loss.
"The Ethereal Amethyst is a divine item. How would I dare to bring more of it with me? I only have three pieces with me now." Qian Duoduo sighed. "Of course it's not just three. There are more at home, but it's not convenient to take them out now."
"Oh …"
Immediately, the few of them began to rack their brains.
Even if there were only three pieces, it was still quite a lot.
Moreover, it wasn't just three. There were even more at home …
What kind of great family would have such a heritage? To what extent had it declined? Was he forced to trade the Ethereal Amethysts for survival resources?
However, no matter how one put it, a family that possessed more than one piece of Ethereal Amethyst, no matter how much they had declined … was still not something that ordinary people could touch. There was no doubt about that.
Moreover, from the information that had been revealed so far, it was true that this family … had squandered almost all of their wealth, but how many top-notch experts were there in the family? This was not easy to assess …
"How long do you plan to start the auction? I need an accurate time. "
"Of course, but we're preparing to prepare for the auction, release the news, and then confirm the time. No matter what, this process will take about a month to attract those who are truly capable …"
"A month's preparation is too long. I don't have that much time to linger here, idle … Forget it. Give me fifty million inferior-grade spiritual jade pieces first. When the auction is over, just deduct the fifty million spiritual jade pieces."
The little fatty spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. "What are you looking at? I'm here to trade the Ethereal Amethysts. Of course I have to bring the money back as soon as possible. Only then will I have a reason to tell the family to bring out a few more pieces for you to auction. Otherwise, it'll take up a lot more time and delay."
The people from the auction house initially disagreed, but their eyes lit up when they heard the latter part of the sentence.
The market price of three pieces of Ethereal Amethysts would at least exceed a hundred million inferior-grade spiritual jade pieces.
For him to leave with fifty million first … that would make sense …
"Alright!"
After receiving the money, the little fatty took the contract established by the Heavenly Axiom and said faintly, "Have you arranged a backdoor for me to escape? You're not planning to expose the contents of this transaction in advance, are you? "
Hmm, that did seem to be the case. It was such a big deal anyway, having an extra bodyguard would be an investment for the subsequent transaction.
The little fatty left leisurely, not taking a single cloud with him. All he took was a huge amount of inferior-grade territory, leaving three pieces of Ethereal Amethysts behind.
As the transaction came to an end, the people from the auction house looked at each other.
Looking at the three pieces of Ethereal Amethysts on the table, everyone in the meeting felt as if they were in a dream. These were Ethereal Amethysts that had not appeared in this realm for thousands of years, and now there were three of them right in front of them!
"Send them to the secret chamber at once! Watch them closely! "
"Spread the news immediately!"
"Pay close attention to this rich young master's every move. Don't act rashly, and wait for the follow-up."
"Spread the news everywhere for fifteen days. Then, on the twentieth day, we'll begin the first round of the auction with the Ethereal Amethysts as the finale item!"
"Understood!"
More than two hours later.
The person who sent Qian Duoduo out returned with a face full of fear.
"Boss, we didn't follow him."
"Hmm?"
"After the kid went out, he went straight into a brothel and found three girls to drink with him … and then he started messing around, even more of a popinjay than the most popinjays …"
"We waited outside for something like this … In the end, when the door opened, only three girls came out. We tried our best to go in and take a look, but the rich young master was nowhere to be found …"
"This …"
"This subordinate deserves to die."
The stewards of the auction house looked at each other for a long time. After a while, the leader sighed and said, "You can't be blamed for this. How could the descendants of a great clan with thousands of years of inheritance not have the ability to protect themselves? Forget it, forget it. We've already gotten a great deal in this transaction. There's no need to complicate matters further. "
"Understood."
"Boss, do you think this kid is one of the two people that day?"
"Hehe … you're thinking too much. To us, even if it's those two, they're still customers. "
"Understood."
"Now, the Ethereal Amethysts of those two … have nothing to do with us, understand? That's what a ruined family should be, understand? "
"Understood!"
…

'Today is Teacher's Day. Happy Teacher's Day to all the teachers in the world.'
In the morning, Auntie Feng drove to pay a visit to the teacher's house and delivered a few boxes of mooncakes. The teachers were very excited and gratified; we were happy too, but I was the only one who felt a little gloomy. Especially when a few teachers held my hand and said, 'What a surprise … You failed so many subjects back then and were bullied by little girls every day. Who would've thought that you could write a novel today …' I was stunned on the spot, 'When did I get bullied by little girls? Why don't I remember? ' The worst thing was that the old homeroom teacher, who was seventy-five today, patted my head and said, 'This kid used to be stupid. Back then, I hit his head with my pointer, and he must've been enlightened since then … Teacher, you read web novels often, don't you?' 'According to this, I should be reborn …'
However, looking at the neatly arranged set of World Defying Nine Heavens in the old man's study, as well as the Evil Lord and Lingtian Heavenly Domain's traditional Chinese books, he said to me proudly, 'I'll tell whoever comes, this was written by my student.' The old man looked proud.
