It turns out that Baihe Island will hold a spring event on a specific day in early spring, and when spring comes, the ocean current will bring a large number of fish, shrimp and crabs, and the harvest will start soon, so this spring event is generally held in a special grand event.

The auction is an add-on to the event, but it's also the main show, and most people come to this small town on the edge of the island to wait for the day.

"Three days, three days of daylight activities, at the Treasure Building, where the auction is held. ”

Xu Qian told Chu Jing and the others the news she had inquired about.

"Is the auction of mankind a collection of rare treasures from all over the world in one place, and the highest bidder can get it? ”

The mermaid princess Sophia is very enthusiastic about the auction, she has seen a lot of treasures of the sea clan, but she has not seen many human treasures, and the decorations in the cabin of Chu Jing are all kinds of pearls and gems.

"I'm going to go to the auction to buy some alchemy materials, the Sword Masters outside are worthless. Lian also said that she was going.

Bai Lan and Xu Qian also looked hopeful.

"Why not, it's not bad money anyway. Chu Jing said with a smile.

Xu Qian said: "But the ticket to enter the auction requires fifty shells per person, and you need to prove that you have the ability to exceed three thousand shells to enter the auction." ”

This is the normal process of the auction, the guests must have the ability to buy, there are only so many seats in the auction, if there are too many people who enter to just see but not buy, then the real rich people will be excluded, resulting in the auction items are not ranked at a high price.

"Do we have so much money?" Even though the pearls and gems in Chu Jing's cabin that did not belong overseas were worth a lot of money, how much did Chu Jing carry on him.

Before Chu Jing could answer, Sophia angrily pulled down a decorative bead from her clothes, "Take this, this is a vortex bead that only exists in the deep sea, and it should be a priceless thing in the human world." ”

Don't look at it as just a decorative bead on Sophia's clothes, she is the princess of the Sea Clan, and everything on her body is worth a lot.

Moreover, the items under the 10,000-meter sea are not accessible to ordinary humans, not to mention that the vortex beads are also very rare among the sea tribes.

Chu Jing took it and looked at the vortex bead, this appearance looks similar to a pearl, but it is very weird, as if there is a rotating vortex rotating in the pearl, and the appearance is also smooth and round, even if Chu Jing is an ignorant person, he can see the value of this vortex bead.

"Maybe that's enough. "There are also a lot of gold bricks in the Chu Jing Mustard Seed Bag, in addition to using shell currency in an auction place, it is also possible to mortgage equivalent items, but the valuation may be lower than the outside.

The four of them decided to participate in the auction in the Treasure Building three days later, but the tickets had to be bought first.

After that, Chu Jing and Xu Qian went to the so-called Treasure Building, and the auction would be held in three days, but there was no need to go there to buy tickets.

Jubaolou is in the north of the city, it is a relatively large building, the appearance is mediocre, but it is very large, and the ground floor is also a restaurant business, and there are many guests who come and go.

Coming to the counter on the first floor, Xu Qian stepped forward and asked, "Is your shopkeeper here?"

The gentleman who was keeping accounts at the counter raised his eyes and looked at Xu Qian and Chu Jing, and found that he didn't know each other, so he continued to bury his head in the abacus and keep accounts.

"Hey!" Xu Qian slapped the table angrily, "Is this the hospitality of your Treasure Tower?"

"What's the noise, is the shopkeeper the one you see when you meet?" and Mr. Zhang raised his head unceremoniously and pointed to the guests sitting on the first floor eating, "They are all here to participate in the auction, if everyone wants to see the shopkeeper, then our shopkeeper doesn't have to do anything else, just stand and show you!"

The store is a big bully, and there is no shortage of customers at the auction, so these people are no longer polite to guests, and they will come if they want to come, not to get out.

"You ......" Xu Qian was angry, the first time she encountered such a situation when she bought something, she didn't say that the customer was God, but if she did business, not to mention that there would be no more customers coming to the door, and there would also be a place to complain.

The island is very hierarchical, and the law is relatively sound, and acts like this can be directly filed and dealt with.

Even if this is not the case, hiring a few splashes to cause trouble inside and outside the store is enough to make the business of the store unsustainable.

Chu Jing glanced at the people eating on the first floor, they were only dressed normally, and the food on the table was not all delicacies from the mountains and seas, it seemed that they just wanted to enter the auction to watch the excitement, so they would not be entertained.

This bookkeeper obviously looked down on Chu Jing and Xu Qian, as long as the two showed enough financial resources, it was not too difficult to even get a place to enter the auction directly.

It's just that Chu Jing is the one who will do this?

"Let's go. ”

Chu Jing said a word coldly, and Xu Qian angrily followed to the Treasure Tower.

"Hmph, a bunch of bastards, it's a big deal if you don't go, it's them who can't make money anyway!"

"No, follow me. ”

Chu Jing walked to the west of the city, where the buildings were more dilapidated, according to Chu Jing's experience in Tiannan Mansion, it should be the "Black Water Street" of this small city, which belonged to the lawless land of the poor.

Of course, this place is near the sea, and you will not starve to death if you catch some fish in the sea, but the rich and the poor are relative, and when you have less money than others, it is possible to hate from jealousy, and it is not surprising that you will do no matter how bad things are.

On the way, Chu Jing changed a half-catty gold brick in a pawnshop by the way, the metal output of Baihe Island is not high, and gold, a hard currency, just half a catty can be exchanged for two thousand shells here, which is already a lot.

"You still carry this with you, isn't it heavy?" Xu Qian knew that Chu Jing was not short of money, look at the Klick who was covered in gold armor, he was just at the behest of Chu Jing, Chu Jing must have more gold than the guy who likes to show off his wealth, just carrying it with him is a little strange.

Chu Jing smiled, "It's just prepared." ”

Mustard bags are such things, it doesn't matter if they are exposed or not, it's not necessary, it's better not to be exposed.

Two thousand shells, which are already two big bags of shells, and no silver tickets, is indeed a more troublesome thing, but fortunately, the denomination of shellfish coins is very high, and it is generally enough to spend a few.

After walking for another half an hour, Chu Jing and Xu Qian came to a dilapidated alley, where most of the doors were closed and sewage flowed sideways outside, but there were many similarities with Heishui Street.

When filling your stomach becomes a problem, people will become lazy, and it will become normal not to clean up the life around them.

"It's so dirty here, why do you want to come here?" Xu Qian doesn't like here, Luolie Island is all villages and towns, and it is mainly farming, and the work of cleaning up the streets is the task of low-level adventurers, and it doesn't cost too much, so it's still clean.

Even when Xu Qian had no money, she never thought that she would come to such a dirty place.

"Wait and you'll know. ”

Chu Jing suddenly opened his throat and shouted loudly: "If you have money, you can get two shell coins only by completing a simple small task, and you can get five shell coins by completing a complex task, and those who come first can get one shell coin, and those who want money should come over quickly." ”

Chu Jing shouted, mainly because he mentioned that he would receive a shell coin for free, which was equal to the price of five sea fish, and immediately many doors and windows opened to look out.

A bald man came over first, "Boy, is what you just said true?" Lao Tzu is here, give me a shell coin first. ”

Chu Jing didn't mind the attitude of the bald man at all, and opened the bag containing a thousand shells with a smile, and a beautiful little shell fell to the ground with a clatter.

Chu Jing tiptoed a little, and a small shell was kicked under the bald man's feet.

The bald man didn't pick up the small shell, but stared at the shell coins with bright eyes.

Anger rises from the heart, evil grows to the side of the gall, and the eyebrows are opened. Clench your teeth. The bald man's hatred of the rich is extremely distorted, and when he sees so much money, even if he trades his life for it, it is worth it.

However, a person who is just relatively strong cannot get close to Chu Jing, and this bald and strong man can find an adventurer's profession outside, and he doesn't have to live in such a dilapidated alley.

"Get out!"

Xu Qian was already angry with the bookkeeper of Jubaolou, but now she met an upright robber and still came to rob herself.

Immediately kicked out, even if he didn't use half of his internal force, with the strength of the warrior, the bald strong man was kicked out three meters and hit the wall behind him, spitting out a lot of blood.

The weak are the weak, and there is no place for resistance in front of the strong.

More and more people were attracted by the coins all over the ground, but with the experience of a bald strong man falling in the corner, no one dared to treat Chu Jing and Xu Qian as good stubble, they all stood honestly on the periphery and surrounded them.

Chu Jing looked at the forty or fifty people in front of him, and felt that it was enough, so he said: "I have always been good at talking, now everyone can get a shell coin, if you are willing to help me complete a small thing, then you can also get two, if you are willing to do a difficult thing, you can get five." ”

A little under Chu Jing's feet, more than forty small shells were shaken up and fell into the hands of these people.

This shocked everyone present again and completely shocked them.

Someone weakly asked, "My lord, what is the easy task and what is the difficult task?"

Chu Jing smiled slightly, and said lightly: "The simple task is naturally very simple, I just got a little angry from the outside, and I want you to disgust them." All you have to do is stand on the street and shout a few words. ”

"What are you shouting? It can't be to offend some big person. ”

"Shouting funny things, as for whether it will offend people, you don't need to name names, you don't even need to stand in front of the door, you just need to stand on the corner of the street nearby, so it's always okay. ”

After thinking about it, everyone was still tempted by the two shell coins, and immediately agreed.

Someone else asked, "What about the difficult task?"

Chu Jing said with a smile: "The difficult task is naturally to make them more disgusting, deliberately find fault, cause trouble, and pee in front of the door, splash feces and the like, spitting is also counted, and you can also drag your relatives and friends to go, you see I have so many shellfish coins here, but you can't finish it, why not bring everyone you know." ”

Sure enough, these people immediately went to call friends, and although those who came again could not get a shell coin, two shell coins were still easier to get.

Soon, more than a hundred people gathered, and Chu Jing himself took these people to the Treasure Tower, while Xu Qian stayed to look at the coins, which also made these people feel at ease.

"What?!

Seeing the treasure building, many people retreated, and were able to open the largest auction in the city, Jubao

Lou's power is still very large.

Chu Jing said indifferently: "Don't you want money?" I said, you don't need to go to the door of the treasure building, you just need to shout loudly for the people in the building to hear, and you don't need to shout if it has anything to do with the treasure building, as long as it is noisy enough, it will not be loud enough on the street, they dare to take care of it." ”

Money can make ghosts grind, and under Chu Jing's bewitchment of using money and reasoning, most of them have taken on simple tasks, but as for difficult tasks, they don't dare for the time being.

Chu Jing waited for two or three minutes, and these people began to gather and shout on the street of more than ten meters of the treasure building.

"Wenzhou, Zhejiang, the largest tannery in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, Jiangnan Tannery has closed down, and the bastard boss, Huang He, eating, drinking, prostituting, and gambling, owes 350 million yuan, and ran away with his sister-in-law. ”

"We have no way, take the wallet to pay the salary, the original price is more than 100, more than 200, more than 300 wallets, all of them are only sold for 20 yuan, and all of them are only sold for 20 yuan!"

"Yellow Crane Bastard, you are not human, we have worked hard for you for more than half a year, you don't pay your salary, you pay me back my hard-earned money, pay me back my hard-earned money!"

Outside the treasure building, suddenly there were many people shouting strange words, what tannery, what Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and Yellow Crane, these are all unheard, but they attracted a lot of guests to eat, and even the bookkeeper couldn't help but be curious to go out and take a look.

When those people saw that they would not offend people by shouting like this, they shouted even more vigorously, after all, they had to make some effort to work for nothing.

"It's strange, what are these people shouting here, saying that they are selling wallets, but they don't have wallets. ”

The bookkeeper ignored the shouting outside, and there was nothing strange about the shouting of the trader, even if the advertising words they made up were a little strange and funny, it was not worth going out to pick people up.

However, when the people outside shouted loudly for most of the hour, and got closer and closer to the treasure building, these people finally couldn't sit still.

The guests in the store have gone out to see the excitement, and some rich people have stopped eating in the treasure building because of the noisy environment, and there are not many people left on the first floor, which was originally full.

"Quick, get those guys out, they're disturbing the business in the store. The bookkeeper shouted to the shopkeeper who was looking out at the door.

The shopkeeper looked aggrieved, "I went to drive them away, they said that they were reasonably shouting, and it was not at the door of our treasure building, so we had no reason to drive them away." ”

"Hmph, what about the other shops, they just allow those people to shout all over the street?" said the bookkeeper in disbelief.

"This ......," the shopkeeper said helplessly, "I asked the guy at the corner rice shop, and he said that their boss got a large sum of money, and those people shouted at their door that they were allowed." ”

"What? I went to see it just now, and those are a large group of people called Hanako, where did they get a lot of money?"

The bookkeeper was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be that the surrounding shops were red when they saw them holding an auction, and deliberately came to engage in them?

No, you have to tell the shopkeeper quickly.

The bookkeeper hurriedly ran upstairs, there were only three days left for the auction, and there must be no accidents in these three days, even if it was just his own guess, he had to make a decision by the shopkeeper.

The owner of the treasure building is a middle-aged man with no features, and in order to hold this auction, he also relied on a lot of connections to make the owners of some treasures willing to sell their items at this auction.

Of course, the main reason why he has this face is because his brother-in-law is the tribune of the city.

The tribune is not a big official, his power is very limited, he is mainly responsible for maintaining law and order, and collecting taxes in the city, and the supervision of the tribune is relatively strict, the alliance is reluctant to meddle in the affairs of Baihe Island in order to avoid suspicion, but he is even more reluctant to entrust non-people, and the interests are taken by the little people below, so there is not only a fair election, but also strict supervision.

This is not the main thing, the main thing is that the tribune and those with high taxes are known, and it is easy to build a strong network of contacts.

A secluded room on the third floor.

"Shopkeeper ......"

Jubaolou waved his hand and said, "I heard it all, say something I don't know." ”

"Yes. The bookkeeper bowed his head and said, "According to the guy at the rice shop, someone gave their boss a large sum of money and rented a place for those people to shout. ”

"Rice shop, then other stores must have compensation, but without our treasure building, who could it be, there are a lot of people who offended by holding an auction, but it's all done, did I forget something?"

The owner of the treasure house couldn't think of a reason.

He sighed, stood up and stretched, "No matter which way the immortal comes, you should go out and see it first." ”

The noise in the treasure tower grew louder and louder, and the first group of people got two besos after shouting for half an hour, and then went to earn the second two shells in a hoarse voice.

There are more and more people joining in, and even some people really ran to the door of the treasure building, and when Xiao Er didn't pay attention, he spit out a mouthful of phlegm and ran back to receive a reward of five shell coins.

"Hehe, are you the mastermind behind the scenes, or are you just an errand runner?" An ordinary-looking middle-aged man appeared behind Chu Jing.

Chu Jing had already noticed him, but he didn't care.

"Mastermind?" Chu Jing curled the corners of his mouth, "I just want a ticket to the auction." ”
