Versatile Mage: The Road to Invincibility

Chapter 45 Zhao’s Auction House

Of course, after entering the auction house, he deliberately wore a black mask in order to hide his identity.

If we talk about the top aristocratic families in the country, the Zhao family definitely occupies a place. In terms of magic assets alone, the Zhao family is undoubtedly the number one in the family.

Not to mention the Magic City, Zhao's influence even affects foreign countries, and Zhao's auctions enjoy a high reputation in many prosperous foreign cities.

The Guomao Building is one of the landmark buildings in Shanghai. The top floor is where Zhao's auction house is located.

Those who can enter and leave this place are basically either rich or noble. They are basically children of aristocratic families and high-level hunters...

High-level mages who are rarely seen on ordinary days can be said to be everywhere here.

Even ordinary people with some property can only hang out on the lower floors at best, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to enter the auction house on the top floor.

No, the moment Ling Tianyu stepped into the door of the auction house, he was stopped by a young and beautiful reception lady.

Those who can be responsible for receiving customers here will definitely have good looks. They are basically in the upper 80s. When placed outside, they will definitely be one of the best beauties.

"Hello, sir, this is an auction house. Do you have a document that can prove your identity or a membership card from our bank?"

The welcoming lady couldn't help but be surprised when she looked at Ling Tianyu's handsome and slightly childish face. But her professionalism still made her say to Ling Tianyu.

"I have something for auction, please contact your appraiser here."

Ling Tianyu replied politely.

"What kind of things can be auctioned at such a young age?" Miss Yingbin actually didn't believe that he could bring out anything precious. She just thought that he was a high school student who was not familiar with the world and was just having fun.

I have to say that Ling Tianyu's appearance played a big role. Normally, she would have started chasing people away.

The receptionist patiently explained, "The starting prices for our items here are all over five million. Can you come up with items of sufficient value?"

Ling Tianyu is not a fool. He probably won't call the appraiser unless he exposes something.

Speaking of it, Mo Fan was really lucky to be able to enter the auction house in the original novel. Without the Second Young Master of the Zhao family, he probably wouldn't even be able to get through the door of the auction house.

After all, no one will listen to the nonsense of a mere [Rookie Hunter], and even an [Advanced Hunter] is a bit uninteresting. Only the title of [Hunter Elite] is convincing enough here.

"This is my hunter's certificate, and what I want to send this time is a warrior-level spirit."

Slave-level souls are somewhat unpopular in auction houses of this level, so Ling Tianyu directly threw the highlight.

He didn't believe that the appraiser could endure the temptation of a warrior-level spirit.

"Dear Mr. Hunter Elite, forgive me for being rude, I'm going to call the appraiser now!" Miss Yingbin's heart trembled when she saw the four gilded characters "Hunter Elite" shining brightly on Ling Tianyu's ID.

Such a young [Hunter Elite]?

Now the welcoming lady no longer has any doubts. [Hunter Elite] is indeed capable of hunting down warriors and monsters, and his warrior essence is most likely real.

It seems that my commission is promising!

The appraiser of Zhao's Auction House is a fat old man with a semi-bald head and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses hanging from the bridge of his nose. He looks very professional.

"Sir, could you please show me the items you want to sell? I can also price them."

Ling Tianyu nodded, took out six magic storage devices from his backpack (actually taken from the portable space), and placed them on the table in front of him in turn.

"This is the spirit of the warrior, and the other five are the spirits of the slaves. If you look at the quality, I hope the price will satisfy me!"

…………

In fact, it stands to reason that the auction list will not be changed after it is confirmed, but the essence is more fiercely snatched than the spirit seed. Which mage bidding does not want this thing to appear?

The bald man felt it carefully, with a smile in his eyes, and said to Ling Tianyu with satisfaction, "Sir, these six essences are all perfectly preserved. I plan to package the five slave essences together for auction, and also the general If Jingsu is proposed separately, the base price is 1200 million, what do you think?"

"1200 million, is it a little less?" Ling Tianyu frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Sir, our reserve price here is indeed not high, but according to past experience, the transaction price of these things of yours will not be less than 45 million!"

"Okay, that's it!" Ling Tianyu nodded, and then said to the welcoming lady on the side, "Then I am qualified to go in now!"

"Yes, yes, of course!" The welcoming lady was almost stunned by the sudden surprise. Forty-five million, the auction house takes 10% of the commission fee, even if it is only given to herself one thousandth, it is equivalent to I have half a month’s salary! "By the way, our auction house has regulations. All mages who have sold items here will receive membership for free!" the auctioneer reminded.

"Sir, the membership card will be delivered to you after the auction ends!"

"Oh? I didn't expect this unexpected surprise!"

In this way, you won’t have to go through the trouble of entering Zhao’s auction house in the future like today!

The receptionist led him into the auction venue, admiring the magnificence along the way. In my previous life, I was just an ordinary student. I had never seen such a rich and wealthy decoration.

Is this the world of rich people?

In his previous life, Ling Tianyu had a deep hatred for the rich and privileged people. Unexpectedly, the dragon slayer would eventually turn into a dragon, and he would become what he hated most in his previous life.

Compared with that corridor, the auction hall is more luxurious, with gorgeous lights scattered around, decorating the hall extremely beautifully, and just looking at it is a pleasure.

Not to mention leather seats, etc., they are just standard equipment.

Without the halo of the protagonist like Mo Fan, no one came to trouble Ling Tianyu along the way.

He is also happy to be stable. Pretending to be slapped in the face is too troublesome. Wouldn't it be good for him to grow up if he just keeps quiet?

Ling Tianyu found a place to sit down and waited for the auction to begin.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Zhao's auction house!"

A middle-aged man in a black suit slowly walked up to the auction platform in the center of the hall.

"Let me introduce myself. I am the gold medal auctioneer of the Zhao family, Zhao Benshan. This auction is sponsored by..."

The auctioneer didn't waste any time and quickly got to the point.

"This is our first auction item, a magic tool, the Wind Boots!"

…………

Nothing at the auction was sold for less than five million.

There are a variety of auction items, including magic tools that increase the magician's attributes, as well as high-bloodline summoned beast cubs in their infancy...

"The fifth lot, five slave-level spirits, has a starting price of twelve million!"

"How many?"

"Five slave spirits! This is no small feat!"

The extremely low explosion rate of the spirit and the expensive collection vessels make it rare.

As the saying goes, rare things are valuable, and this also applies to spirits.

Even in a magical city with abundant magic resources, spirits are undoubtedly a hot commodity.

"Fifteen million!" A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes took the lead in making an offer, directly increasing the price by three million from the original price, showing that he was bound to win.

"Old Mu, fifteen million, you are sending the beggar away! I will pay twenty million!"

The children of these aristocratic families in the Demon City, as well as the senior family officials, have too many entanglements. They fight openly and secretly on weekdays, often stumbling upon each other.

Even if they are not interested in the auction item, they may want to get involved. For no other reason than to win publicity.

Ling Tianyu had discovered this situation during the previous bidding process, and was secretly happy.

"The harder you fight, the better. Anyway, it's me who wins in the end!"
