low-key is king

Chapter 49
"Everyone, this large-scale auction is now underway, and it's over!"

A familiar voice came from below, it was from Zheng Qian, the steward. Seeing him pause, he said again: "The next free auction, if you are willing to stay and join in the fun, our alliance welcomes you!"

"Hey, the main show is coming!"

Zhou Haigui seemed a little excited, and at the same time glanced at Lu Xun. This was the real reason why they gathered here today.

Although this is just a game, the stakes are not too big, nor are they too small.

If he really wins the first place, he can let the other people do one thing for him, that's something to say.

Regardless of whether Zhou and Liu are fans of Young City Lord Yang He or not, they also have ambitions. What if they are the ones who win the bet this time?

At that time, they will not let the young city lord do anything difficult, but they will not have any scruples about the others, especially Xiao Ziliang and Zhendong Wangfu.

Although the Zhendong Prince's Mansion has been in poverty for more than a year, the emaciated camels are bigger than horses. There must be some treasures in the palace's treasury. If you take out any one, they may be able to benefit them endlessly.

This is also the reason why the City Lord's Mansion has always wanted to seize the Zhendong Prince's Mansion. Now that the second son Lu Xun is participating in this gambling game, it gives them a chance.

"Let's go down too!"

Yang He had put away the bad mood just now, and he didn't seem to be able to see the slightest bit of anger. Hearing a soft voice from his mouth, he was already walking towards the door first.

Lu Xun stood up and could see several large tables had already been set up on the auction stage in the auction hall below, and the maids were moving trays one after another onto the tables.

This seems to be the second auction in the recreational mode. The things brought out by the International Chamber of Commerce are not necessarily genuine. The test is everyone's eyesight, which is the real one.

For such an auction method, it is naturally impossible for them to appraise it from such a distance. They have to get closer and observe carefully, or use their own cultivation to sense it, so that they can be sure that nothing will go wrong.

Lu Xun followed the crowd, and when he reached the door, he nodded to Asha, stroked the black cat in his arms, and then came to the auction hall downstairs, only to feel that the atmosphere was much more noisy.

Just now Zheng Qian said that those who are not interested can leave, but because of the well-known gambling game of young city lord Yang He, most people still choose to stay and watch the fun.

"Huh? There seems to be a newcomer, who is that boy?"

For Yang He and the others, including Lu Dai from Zhendong Prince's Mansion, many people are naturally very familiar with them, but except for a few people who were at the door before, they are still quite unfamiliar with Lu Xun, a newcomer.

But being able to sneak into the circle of young city lord Yang He, although these people don't know the origin of the boy in black, they dare not show too much disrespect, and they have guessed the identity of the boy in their hearts.

"Let me introduce to everyone, this is the second son Lu Xun of Zhendong Prince's Mansion!"

Yang He could naturally hear everyone's discussion. Since he was the leader, he introduced Lu Xun's identity without hesitation, which immediately caused an uproar in the audience.

"The second son of Zhendong Prince's Mansion, hasn't he been missing for ten years?"

"It seems that there is no cultivation base, it can't be fake?"

"Today's Zhendong Prince's Mansion is not as good as before, come back at this time, hehe..."

"Shut up, didn't you see General Dongqi is here?"

"..."

All of a sudden, high or low voices of discussion sounded everywhere, but just as some unrestrained words came out, they were scolded and stopped by the companions next to them.

They were still a little apprehensive about Lu Dai, who was named General Dongqi in Zhendong Palace.

Not to mention anything else, just the cultivation of those three perfect martial artists is not something they can afford to provoke.

Fortunately, at this moment, Lu Dai didn't care about those words, and even wanted to hear more. They were just mocking the second son, Lu Xun. What does it have to do with him, Lu Dai?
Lu Dai thought to himself, the current Zhendong Prince's Mansion is indeed in decline, but as long as he can conquer the Zhendong Prince and become the real Zhendong Prince, the Zhendong Prince's Mansion will naturally rise again one day.

"Tsk tsk, what a bunch of blind people!"

Zheng Qian on the auction stage watched coldly, and couldn't help but sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that the second son of the Zhendong Prince's Mansion is so low-key and terribly low-key, is this being regarded as a dude by everyone?
With Zheng Qian's cultivation level, every sound around him couldn't escape his ears. Most of these voices were disdainful and mocking, but he didn't dare to be too blatant.

The fact is indeed the case, the Zhendong Palace is now in Pingyang, and the return of the second son of the Palace who has been missing for ten years and has no cultivation level, how much waves can it cause?
But what you don't know is that the two first-grade perfect pills just now were actually made by the second son of the palace, so what right do you have to look down on him?

Zheng Qian withdrew his gaze from Lu Xun. Naturally, he would not find out about Lu Xun's details. By this time, the maid had already placed all the auction items on the table.

"Quiet!"

A soft shout came out, and everyone's eyes in the field turned away from Lu Xun, and then turned to Zheng Qian who made the sound, with different expressions on their faces.

At this time, on the long table put together in front of Zheng Qian, there were ten strangely shaped items from left to right.

Before these items, there are ten numbers from one to ten, each representing a lot.

At the heart of the long table, there is a big black box. Lu Xun doesn't know what it is used for yet. He believes that Zheng Qian will explain the rules of the second auction in detail.

"Everyone, there are a total of ten items in today's mixed auction. Except that you can't touch them, you can feel them at will, but let me tell you in advance that these things are real or fake. If you don't have good eyesight and buy fakes, it's no wonder To the head of our alliance!"

In a few words, it is to put aside the relationship between the International Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and they did not ask you to buy it. If you really bought a fake product by eyeballing, the International Chamber of Commerce and Industry is irresponsible.

"Ten lots, there are ten numbers in total. If the VIP takes a fancy to one, he/she will write his name and bid and put it in the black box. If two or more people take a fancy to the same thing, the price will be Higher wins!"

Zheng Qian talked eloquently, which made many people a little impatient. This is not the first time that he has mixed filming. Is it necessary to go into such details?

There should not be many people who don't know this rule.

The words of this steward Zheng were naturally intended for Lu Xun. He knew that this second son of the palace was participating in an auction for the first time, so it would be better to clarify some rules.

This method really made Lu Xun feel novel, and put the bidding in a black box, so that no one knew what he was looking for and how much he paid.

This is indeed a game of eyesight and courage. Even if you fancy a certain item, if someone else also likes it, and the bid is higher than yours, then this item still does not belong to you.

"Open the box in an hour, everyone, let's get started!"

Zheng Guan didn't drag his feet. After taking his gaze away from Lu Xun, he took his right hand and retreated to the side.

But after his words fell, not many people went to the stage to respond, and they seemed to have considerable scruples.

In fact, when Lu Xun went down to the hall on this floor, he had already seen the ten items on the long table, which were not covered by the red cloth, and they were just presented in front of everyone.

Each of these ten objects has its own characteristics. Lot No. [-] on the left looks like an inconspicuous stone without any special aura on the surface.

The other item in the auction is a tattered piece of clothing. It is unknown who threw it outside and was picked up by the International Chamber of Commerce.

There was another lot that looked more like a charred charcoal.

Not to mention preventing people from getting their hands on it, even without this rule, no one would be willing to touch such a dirty thing, as it would dirty their hands.

Of course, apart from these unremarkable or even eye-catching things, there are a few of them that look good, such as a gold ingot that exudes a golden color.

But looking at the starting price of "One Hundred Top-Grade Gold Beads" written on the gold ingot, many people curled their lips, secretly thinking that it is not so dark to exchange gold for gold.

All ten items have a starting price. The IWC must also want to make money. Some of them are real and some are fake, but everyone understands that the genuine ones must be less than the fake ones, and the IWC is not a philanthropist.
But among the mixed auctions in the past, there must have been one or two items whose value was much higher than the starting price, which is why Yang He and others enjoyed it so much.

But this game is a game for the rich. If you spend hundreds of high-grade gold beads and get a piece of useless trash, then they may really vomit blood.

So at the next moment, apart from Yang He and the rich and powerful young masters, there were only a few people who, with curiosity, walked up to the stage to observe the ten lots.

"Brother, which one is the most valuable?"

Lu Xun also pretended to read it from left to right, and finally stopped at the tenth lot, but in his mind, he asked directly.

Although he has gone through hundreds of reincarnations, this world is his real life. Now that he returns here, it can be said that everything starts from scratch.

With the eyesight of a martial artist and a cultivator at this level alone, Lu Xun might not be able to compete with Yang He, the young city lord, but this is a gamble, he will not give up easily, and he will not give the opportunity to Yang He.

Now that there is an omniscient senior in his body, Lu Xun doesn't want to do those useless efforts anymore. He believes that with the senior's vision, he will definitely be able to beat the crowd.

"A pile of rubbish stuff, how dare you call it a treasure hunt?"

Unexpectedly, just after Lu Xun's questioning, the senior brother's disdainful voice came after him, which made him slightly stunned, and then helplessly helped his forehead.

It seems that this brother's vision is too high, even the first-class pills are rubbish in his eyes, not to mention the things produced by the branch of the Watanabe City International Business Alliance.
