The morning sun shines through the branches and leaves of the forest, and a little bit of cold is not over, and a little mist gathers.

A young man slowly walked out of the mist, he raised his head and looked in the direction a little, and walked towards Utan City.

Utan City is very prosperous in terms of trade and commerce, and the most lively place is the Temir auction hall in the south of the city.

It was the largest auction venue in Utan City, and it was also home to the richest family in the Gamma Empire: the Temirs.

Not long after dawn, the vendors along the street were still setting up their stalls, and the doors of the auction hall were already open.

It's said it's open, but it's hardly closed here.

Chen Jue's gaze swept across the spacious hall and walked towards the room on the side, and on the door of the room, the three big characters "Treasure Appreciation Room" were printed with gold lacquer.

It's such an early morning, naturally no one comes here to appraise the treasures, even the wandering mercenaries in the city are too lazy to get up, let alone others.

However, after all, this place belongs to the Temir family, one of the three major families of the Gama Empire, and even on such a boring morning, the middle-aged appraiser in charge of identifying the treasure still sat behind the counter honestly, although it was a little listless.

Seeing Chen Jue walk in, the middle-aged appraiser just wanted to say hello habitually, but the next second categorically denied this idea.

"What kind of bastard is this lucky bastard? Why are the people of Utan City so whimsical, are I, the appraiser, a vegetarian? ”

Although this thought flashed in his heart, the middle-aged appraiser's face did not show it at all, after all, he only knew these things, and the most important thing in doing business was to make money with harmony.

He didn't say a word of greeting silently, but Chen Jue stepped forward, took out the silver scale breastplate without thinking, and said.

"I sell a cuirass."

"Cuirassa? Hmph, the style is good, where did you find the blacksmith? ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged treasure master symbolically pulled the silver scale breastplate twice and said lazily.

"A silver coin, if you want to put something here, don't take this rag away."

“……”

Chen Jue frowned slightly when he heard this, although he didn't know the value of the silver scale breastplate, but he knew the price of this Utan City.

How much is this silver coin worth?

Perhaps because Chen Jue stood silent, the middle-aged treasure master raised his head and glanced at him, pointed at his eyes playfully, gestured at him again, and sneered.

"What do you see? Not convinced? There's a small door behind me, and across the aisle is the money vault, so you can grab it! Stunned Qing still pretended to be Wang Ba garlic, go back and practice for a few years. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jue finally reacted.

In the end, this auction is similar to a pawn shop, where the strong dragon rises and looks at the wrist.

He is in this state now, and no one who sees it will give him a good look. Thinking about it this way, it really saved a lot of trouble when Xiao Yan had medicine to cover up.

Thinking about it, Chen Jue shook his head helplessly, and stretched out his hand to hand over the silver-scale breastplate.

Unexpectedly, he just stretched out his hand, but was pressed down by a person on the side.

"I bought this cuirass."

"You?"

Chen Jue looked back and saw a person wearing a black cloak robe, the wide hood completely blocked his face, and the robe was already wide, so he couldn't even distinguish between men and women.

The man in the black robe seemed to see Chen Jue's hesitation, and directly put a bag of gold coins on the table.

"Here are a hundred gold coins, and I will give them the rest."

"Master! You're here! ”

While the two were talking, two people from the corridor on the side walked briskly, breaking the atmosphere in the room.

Among the people who came, on the left was an old man in Tsing Yi with some gray hair.

Although the style of clothing was ordinary, on the chest of his green coat was painted something somewhat similar to a medicine stove, and on the surface of the medicine stove, two silver ripples shimmered with a slight light.

Second-grade alchemist - Gu Ni!

Beside him, a beautiful woman/person in a red dress swayed gently, and every step seemed to be stepping on the hearts of everyone.

She is the pillar of this auction hall, the auctioneer - Yafei.

The two of them walked over from the aisle, and simply glanced at Chen Jue, who was stunned on the side, and didn't say a word, but directly surrounded the black-robed man, shushing and asking for warmth.

"Master, why are you here so early?"

"There is still ...... left on the books of the Tsukiki spiritual liquid that was auctioned last time."

"The rest of the money is for this little brother."

Before he could finish speaking, the black-robed man greeted him lightly, and by the way, he pulled Chen Jue into the circle of the three.

It was only at this time that Gu Ni and Concubine Ya looked at Chen Jue a little.

In fact, compared to the black-robed man in a black robe and an unidentified person, Chen Jue is standing here in a daze now, with a slightly pale face, adding a little cramped and uneasy, plus the mediocre aura on his body, he doesn't look like a person with status.

Those who may not even have a little brain, and dare to show their faces at the auction are either famous or powerful. A stunned young man who doesn't understand anything just ran over with such a big grin, is it from the restaurant at the moment?

Out of professional politeness, Concubine Ya asked casually.

"What are you going to auction up, sir?"

"A cuirass, I want cash."

As soon as the word "cash" came out, she was completely poor and sour, and even the always polite Concubine Ya couldn't help but laugh jokingly.

Gu Ni on the side still has a little eyesight.

"Huh? This cuirass ......"

"A silver-scaled breastplate that adds stamina and strength."

"Strength? You mean vindictiveness amplification? ”

Gu Ni subconsciously asked, in his impression, strength and endurance are not quantitative values, but some high-level equipment can indeed increase the fighting spirit and improve the strength of the fighter.

It's just that that kind of equipment, in this small Utan City, I am afraid that it is rare to see in a hundred years.

"This?!"

As soon as this thought flashed in his heart, Gu Ni subconsciously touched the silver-scaled breastplate, and under the sharp shock in his heart, he was stunned and lost his voice.

"It's really a vindictive increase?!"

The change in the aura of this fingertip was really clear to Gu Ni, who was already a two-star alchemist!

Seeing that his face was different, Concubine Ya asked curiously.

"Master Guni?"

"The thing that can make a fighter's strength increase quickly in today's world, except for the elixir, is this special equipment with an increase in fighting spirit! It's just that most of those equipment are sword weapons, but I didn't expect that this thin chain mail also has this effect. ”

"What's the Dou Qi Amp?"

"It's a special effect, a magical method that only a very small number of forgers can have!"

As he spoke, Gu Ni couldn't hide his excitement in his heart, and even his words trembled a little.

If there is a profession in this world that can stand side by side with an alchemist, it may only be a forger.

Compared to the gradual progress of the alchemist's elixir, to a certain extent, it is the forger's weapon that can bring about a rapid improvement.

This kind of equipment with the effect of increasing the Fighting Qi can be said to be ten million times more precious than the elixir that generally helps in cultivation!

Concubine Ya, who originally looked down on Chen Jue, was indeed a seasoned businessman, and soon noticed something from Gu Ni's words, and when she turned her head, she saw that Chen Jue's face had returned to her former kindness and charm.

"Excuse me......"

"My surname is Chen, Chen Jue."

"Chen Jue?"

The smile on Concubine Ya's face froze slightly, she just wanted to ask how to sell the silver scale breastplate, but she didn't expect Chen Jue to directly report her name.

It would be good if he was really a character, but the word "Chen Jue" had never been heard of by either Concubine Ya or Gu Ni.

"That's it? Are you still proud of the heavens? Do you think you're the emperor of the empire? ”

Somehow, Concubine Ya felt uncomfortable when she looked at Chen Jue's cold face.

These words flashed in her mind, but the habitual smiling face did not change in the slightest, and no one could see that this beautiful person with bewitching eyebrows and eyes still had such thoughts in her heart.

Just as Concubine Ya was still thinking about how to continue to set Chen Jue's words, Chen Jue picked up a hundred gold coins on the counter, showed it to the black-robed man who was a little snubbed, and said.

"I'll take the money, and this cuirass is yours."

“……”

Under the black robe, the stranger seemed to raise his head and glance at Chen Jue.

Master Gu Ni was so surprised before, it was obvious that the value of this piece of chain mail was far from being measured by this small hundred gold coins.

Chen Jue opened the gold coin bag in front of everyone, counted them one by one, and then divided them into several small piles, and then put them into the cloth bag.

Although he hadn't looked at the black-robed man, he seemed to see what the black-robed man was thinking, and said lightly.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm a loser."

"Interesting."

Under the black robe, the corners of the man's mouth raised slightly, and his gaze at Chen Jue was kinder.

Whenever this word shows the slightest hint of proximity, it will arouse the vigilance of the black-robed man, but Chen Jue just preached it extremely self-consciously, but it made the black-robed man feel a sense of sympathy.

It's a pity that the two didn't have time to say a few more words, and Concubine Ya on the side couldn't help but interrupt.

"Young Master Chen, your breastplate with a doughnut increase is far more than this hundred gold coins, if we don't let our auction house help you auction it, we will definitely be able to give you a more satisfactory price."

"Satisfied? You can't please me, what else do I have to be satisfied with. ”

"You?!"

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Ya's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and her pretty face was thin and angry, obviously she was a courtesan who had always been moody, but she seemed to be a little angry at this time.

Gu Ni, who was still on the side, saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly and secretly pulled the corner of Concubine Laya's clothes and secretly gave her a look.

Now the two people in this treasure room can't afford to offend any of them.

Thinking of this, Gu Ni glanced at Chen Jue, who was counting the gold coins, and then looked back at the black-robed man in a black robe, and secretly raised his eyebrows in his heart.

"What's going on with this little Utan City this year?"
