Novel Full Chapter 931: Offer
Chapter 931: Offer
After seeing the value of what Kent was selling, Lady Wu transformed from a nonchalant, arrogant lady into one who wanted to cosy up to Kent and ensure she got what she wanted.
Naturally, Kent didn’t have any issue making her feel happy. He knew how having connections could help him in the long run.
Especially if he managed to form a good relationship with someone from the past, he might reap the benefits in the future. One of the many perks of having the means to visit the past.
Kent already had that in mind, so he wasn’t about to take everything personally and frown when he should smile.
A short while later, they entered Lady Wu’s office. She immediately served Kent a cup of tea with a smile on her face.
Kent took a sip and smiled. “Good tea.”
“Thank you, little brother.”
“You can just call me Kent.”
Lady Wu nodded and unfurled a scroll. “Kent, if you don’t mind me asking, are you already affiliated with any auction house in this city?”
“No.”
“Wonderful.” Lady Wu took out a platinum badge from a drawer in her desk and presented it to Kent.
“This is the highest grade of badge our Brown Maple Auction House has. All individuals with this badge are considered VIP customers. Now you are one of them, and if you want, I can make you a VIP seller in this auction house.
Becoming a VIP seller means your goods will receive top priority among the thousands of goods we auction every week.
Also, as a VIP seller, you will have a 20% discount on all things you buy, and depending on your selling value, we might even cut you in for a share of our auction house in this world and all other worlds out there.”
Kent took a sip of the wine again and set the cup down. “That sounds like a good thing.”
“It’s indeed a good thing. With even 1% share of our auction house, you will earn millions every single week. Trust me, this is a good thing.”
“In that case, I am ready to join your humble auction house. However, why don’t we talk about the commodity I want to sell today?”
Lady Wu was overjoyed. If this deal went through, her stock would skyrocket like a moving bus. In a way, she would be earning even more than Kent.
Aside from that, with her new status after this sale went through, she would not only manage more than one auction house belonging to Brown Maple Auction House, but also oversee the management of more than 30 other auction houses.
But that would only be if she sold a Tier 18 Soul Spirit from a Forsaken Race. If she were to sell a second one, her role in Brown Maple Auction House would skyrocket even further.
“There are still three things left to auction. However, since I promised to make your item the last, I still stand by that promise.
However, I must ask, do you really plan to sell this today? Our annual auction is just three months away. If this were to be sold there, you would become a rich man.”
Kent shook his head. “I need it sold today. You can sell the second one during that period.”
“Very well. In that case, the auction house will take 10% of the amount the item is sold for. The rest will be given to you.
However, since you have chosen to join our humble establishment, I will open an account in your name, and any proceeds you earn will be deposited there, which you can easily withdraw with a thought.
I will prepare everything by the time the auction closes today.”
“That will be great then. Also, if you don’t mind me asking, what will be the opening price for the soul spirit?”
“The opening bid will be priced at 200 million High-Grade Spirit Stones.”
Kent smiled weakly, knowing he would soon be walking away with some cash on him. “Then I will wait for good news.” He leaned back in his chair and started sipping his tea.
“You can observe the auction if you want. Now that you are a VIP customer, you can come and go as you please.”
Kent nodded. He gave the soul spirit to Lady Wu, who used a device Kent had never seen before to collect it. She then led Kent to a private room before leaving to attend to her business.
When Kent arrived in the room, a Tier 14 pill was being auctioned. The bidding war was heated.
“120 million,” a voice came from the middle rooms. However, it was quickly overshadowed by another voice coming from yet another middle room.
Kent noticed the auction hall had been divided into three segments. The ground level was an open space, occupied by those who weren’t of much class or important enough to make a difference in the auction house.
The middle level comprised middle-class families and influential individuals, such as those in the lower ranks of the Pill Alliance or sects.
As for the top floor, where Kent was, that place was reserved for the VIPs.
At the moment, a bidding war was raging between the various rooms on the middle floor, showing that the Tier 14 pill was something they would benefit from. The top floor, however, remained silent.
Kent used the soul map to see if he could see through the formation inside the rooms. He failed to see their faces, but he didn’t come out empty-handed. He managed to determine their cultivation bases.
All ten Heavenly Ascension stage experts he sensed were in the top-floor rooms, indicating they were dignitaries. But then again, who would be dumb enough not to make Heavenly Ascensions stage cultivators VIPs?
“Looks like I must increase my soul strength some more if I want to be able to see through formations in High Worlds,” Kent said to himself.
A few minutes later, the pill was auctioned for 240 million spirit stones. Naturally, if these 240 million spirit stones were sent to a Medium World, they would be equivalent to 24 billion spirit stones.
The reason was that in the High Worlds, they used High-Grade Spirit Stones instead of the low-grade ones used in Medium Worlds. One High-Grade Spirit Stone was equivalent to 100 low-grade spirit stones.
This showed that life in the High World was much more expensive than in the Medium World.
The next item was brought in, but Kent showed no interest in it, despite it being a core ingredient in the concoction of most pills.
He wouldn’t want to make an offer he couldn’t pay for. To him, if he had enough money, he could always buy the Omega Spirit Fruit any day.
After the Omega Spirit Fruit was sold, another item went for a staggering 300 million spirit stones. Then the next item, meant to be the last, was brought out.
It was an old armour that could no longer be worn and was discarded because it was beyond repair. However, the reason it was placed at a starting bid of 90 million spirit stones was because of the immortal aura emanating from it.
According to the auctioneer, the armour contained a trace of Immortal Aura.
Naturally, mortals had no business playing around with items meant for immortals. However, if one were to cultivate this aura, not only would their body be tempered with immortal energy, but it would also enrich their Spirit Energy and make breaking through to the Empyrean stage much safer.
“So that was what they came here for.” The moment the armour was brought out, the ten Heavenly Ascension stage experts leaned forward.
Kent felt the air grow thick with tension.
“This will be a good show… though in the end, I will be stealing it from the one who ends up buying it.” An evil smile appeared on Kent’s face as he began to watch the bidding war.
