The guide didn't exit the elevator. He watched as Ling Yun and company walked out of the elevator before following the elevator down. This was the busiest time for them to receive guests.
If Ling Yun wasn't holding a VIP invitation, he would only be able to send them to the elevator on the first floor.
"Hello, Sir. May I know if you are VIP Number 9?"
Indeed, there was someone to receive them. Furthermore, it was a woman in her mid-twenties. She was well-dressed and had a curvaceous figure. Her face was clean and beautiful, and she had a gentle smile on her face. Overall, she looked pleasing to the eye.
At the Ye Family's auction, all the attendants in charge of receiving guests were equipped with special communication devices. They could communicate with each other in real time to save time and improve the efficiency of receiving guests.
It seemed like the guide had informed her when he was registering Ling Yun. Hence, she was already waiting at the elevator door. Once Ling Yun and company exited the elevator, she welcomed them warmly.
Ling Yun nodded and handed the invitation over. At the same time, he scanned her with his divine sense and sized her up. He was shocked to discover that she was an early-stage Xiantian expert.
Ling Yun was shocked. Of course, it wasn't because of Ye Xiaoqing's realm, but because of the Ye Family's terrifying heritage.
The attendants at the hotel entrance were all Xiantian experts. Now that they were at the auction, no one would dare to cause trouble. However, the attendants here were also Xiantian experts. That was shocking.
"Hello, Sir. My name is Ye Xiaoqing."
Although Ye Xiaoqing's badge clearly displayed her name, she still took the initiative to report her name out of courtesy. Then, she said with a smile, "Tonight, I will be in charge of all the service work in VIP Room 9. I'm very happy to serve you."
Ye Xiaoqing was very enthusiastic, but she was neither servile nor overbearing. She didn't fawn over Ling Yun just because he was a VIP. It was obvious that she had been specially trained by the Ye Family. Furthermore, she had been in this job for many years and was used to seeing all sorts of important people and occasions.
Ling Yun smiled lightly. "Thank you."
"No need. Sir, you are too polite. You are the first VIPs to come to the auction. It's my honor. "
Ling Yun's politeness had obviously won the other party's favor. Her tone was much more sincere than before. She said with a smile, "Please follow me."
With that said, Ye Xiaoqing extended her hand and made an inviting gesture. Then, she led Ling Yun and company straight to VIP Room 9.
As Ling Yun walked, he sized up the entire auction venue. At the same time, he couldn't help but admire the Ye Family's professionalism and extravagance.
This luxurious hotel was obviously built by the Ye Family for the purpose of holding the auction. It was said to have 36 floors, but in fact, the entire floor was 10 meters high. This floor was equivalent to the height of the three floors below.
The hall was very large. Other than a few necessary rooms, elevators, and the surrounding load-bearing pillars, it was almost the size of the entire building.
The venue was divided into two levels. Ling Yun was currently on the lower level, which was seven meters high. At the lowest point of the venue, there was a fifty-square-meter stage, which was naturally used to host the auction.
Around the auction stage, other than the necessary rooms and passageways, there were seats in all directions. They were arranged in a funnel shape, from low to high, in rows. It looked similar to a basketball stadium used for formal competitions. No matter which corner one sat in, it wouldn't affect the view of the auction stage. This was obviously to not affect the bidding.
Ling Yun used his divine sense to scan and roughly estimated that there were at least eight hundred seats on this level, but it wasn't crowded. This was because there was a certain gap between the seats, and every seat was spacious and comfortable. It was equivalent to a first-class seat on a plane. In front of every seat, there was a high-end computer.
This level was obviously for ordinary guests because at this moment, Ling Yun and company had already followed Ye Xiaoqing into a dedicated elevator and arrived at the upper level.
After exiting the elevator, Ye Xiaoqing quickly led Ling Yun and company to VIP Room 9.
"All the rooms on the second floor are provided to bidders with VIP invitations. Sir, this is your VIP room number 9. Please come in."
The door was naturally open, and Ling Yun walked in directly. He glanced at the facilities in the room and nodded in satisfaction. He teased, "Woah, the decorations in this room really make me feel more comfortable than at home!"
The entire VIP room was huge. It was more than a hundred square meters and was spacious and bright.
There was an expensive carpet, a high-end leather sofa, a tea table in front of the sofa, a huge LCD TV on the wall facing the sofa, and a few comfortable chairs. There were also three widescreen computers lined up in the room … There were even a few paintings of famous people hanging on the wall. Everything was here, everything was here.
"With all of this, I don't even know if I'm here to participate in the auction or to enjoy myself …"
Ling Yun sighed.
"Pfft!"
Ye Xiaoqing couldn't help but laugh at Ling Yun's teasing. She immediately knew that it was his first time participating in the Ye Family's auction. She hurriedly said, "Make yourself at home. This is what we should do."
She observed his expression and quickly explained in detail, "Actually, all of these things are useful. Let me explain it to you."
"When the auction begins, this LCD TV will broadcast the auction live. It will display all the items being auctioned, as well as a detailed introduction of most of the items. Everything will be clear at a glance."
"As for these three computers, they will be used for the auction. When an item that you like appears, you can use them to bid for it. Of course … you don't have to worry about the operation at all. You just need to name a price, and I can do everything else for you …"
"If there isn't an item that you like for the time being, you can sit on the sofa and rest. I'll be waiting outside at any time. Call me if there's anything."
"Of course, if you're willing to experience the atmosphere of the auction …" Ye Xiaoqing came to the lounging chairs and placed them at the entrance of the VIP room. Then, she turned back and said with a smile, "You just have to sit here and look down. The view is very good. Everything on the first floor will be clear at a glance."
There was a huge empty space between the second and first floor. It was like a patio. The location of VIP room 9 was not bad. There was no need to stand. As long as one sat at the entrance and looked down, they would be able to see the auction stage. It was less than twenty meters away. To people like Ling Yun, it was no different from having it placed right in front of them.
Ling Yun had already noticed this when he was at the entrance, so there was no need for Ye Xiaoqing to explain.
It was perfect.
At this moment, Ling Yun, who was already sitting on the sofa, thought to himself, This is really perfect. The LCD TV broadcast the entire process, displaying and introducing the items in all directions, and the computer bidding. There was no need to shout or raise a paddle to bid. When there was an item that they wanted, all they had to do was tap their fingers and the auction would be completed.
Moreover, Ling Yun didn't even need to tap his fingers. All he had to do was open his mouth and Ye Xiaoqing would do it for him.
At this moment, he saw Ye Xiaoqing put down the lounge chair. She pointed to the ceiling above her head and said, "Sir, our Ye family's auction house has installed a holographic projection facility in the VIP lounge three years ago. All the auction items that are on display can be displayed in the VIP lounge through holographic projection. Other than being unable to touch or sense its spiritual energy, everything else is identical to the real thing."
"Uh …"
After hearing this, Ling Yun was slightly surprised. Was this still an ancient martial arts auction? Not only was there a live broadcast, but there was also a computer bidding. Even holographic projection technology was used!
This was too high-tech!
Ling Yun wasn't the only one who was surprised. Tie Xiaohu and Mo Wudao, who were beside him, were dumbfounded.
"In short, everything is for the convenience of our customers. This is the purpose of our Ye Family Auction House."
After Ye Xiaoqing finished her introduction, she smiled and summarized. Finally, she asked, "Sir, do you have any other questions?"
Ling Yun shook his head and smiled. "No. Now that you mention it, it seems like I only need to wait patiently for the auction to begin."
Such comprehensive and thoughtful service had widened Ling Yun's horizons. There was really no need for him to ask any more questions.
"Sir, it's less than an hour before the auction begins. The TV has already begun broadcasting the various introductions of the basic auction items. Do you need me to switch on the TV for you?"
Ling Yun had long wanted to know what auction items the Ye Family Auction House had. Hence, he immediately nodded and got Ye Xiaoqing to switch on the TV.
"May I know what drinks the few of you would like? Tea, coffee, or any snacks you need, we have it all here. "
After Ye Xiaoqing finished the basic introductions, she immediately began her service.
In the end, Ling Yun and the other three naturally ordered tea. Only Mo Wudao shamelessly ordered coffee.
The VIP room indeed had everything. Ye Xiaoqing didn't even leave the room to brew tea and coffee. She was very efficient and finished quickly. Then, she waited respectfully at the side.
Ling Yun glanced at Ye Xiaoqing and said with a smile, "Miss Ye, since the auction will only begin after a while, we still need to discuss some matters. What do you think …"
Ye Xiaoqing instantly understood. She immediately smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll go out first. The few of you, please make yourselves at home … If you need anything, just press the service button on the table and I'll come over immediately."
With that, Ye Xiaoqing smiled politely at Ling Yun and the rest before leaving VIP room nine.
"Phew …"
Once Ye Xiaoqing left, Mo Wudao immediately laid down on the spacious sofa. He let out a long sigh and said, "The Ye Family is amazing. An ancient martial arts auction is so heaven-defying. Even I'm a little nervous …"
At this moment, Ling Yun was staring intently at the auction items displayed on the TV. His eyes were burning as he carefully looked at the detailed introductions of the various auction items. He casually said, "How useless. We're here to enjoy the service. What's there to be nervous about? It's just a small event."
With that said, Ling Yun moved his mind. Dozens of goose egg-sized spirit stones instantly flew out of the Universe Ring. Under the control of Ling Yun's divine will, they formed a formation in the air.
"Drop!"
Ling Yun moved his mind again. Dozens of spirit stones fell straight to the ground and formed a formation with a wave of his hand.
This was the Small Divine Defense Formation. It could isolate divine senses!
