Chapter 224: Purple Gold Card
According to the rules of large-scale auctions, the "entrance fee" of one hundred taels only indicates the qualification to enter the auction. It's like a flat-headed commoner, powerless and powerless, who wants to enter a party in high society, and has to spend money to buy a temporary invitation.
For those who are really powerful and powerful, naturally there is no need to be so troublesome, a small card can represent their identity.
The card in the hands of Lin Ling's three women is the proof of their qualifications, this kind of card is made and sold by the auction itself, and it is a symbol of status, so it is commonly known as a VIP card in the outside world.
Those who don't know about it are called VIP cards, but those who really hold this kind of card know that this kind of card should be called a "money card".
If you want a VIP card, you also have to buy it with money. And the price of different VIP cards is different. The lowest level of the Black Gold Card requires a payment of 50,000 taels of silver. The platinum card of the previous level needs to pay 200,000 taels, and the red card of the next level needs to pay 500,000 taels.
As for the highest-level Zijin card, you need to pay one million taels of silver.
Of course, the money was not swallowed up by the auction house directly. With the current status of the auction house, if he dared to do this, he would have to be demolished by the angry students in a few days.
The real purpose of this money is to serve as a credit limit that you pre-deposit to your VIP card. When you are bidding at an auction, if you don't have enough money on hand, you can use the money deposited into your VIP card. Once the money in the VIP card is used up, the VIP card will be withdrawn, and you will also be knocked out of the original form of the VIP and become an ordinary person who needs to pay a "entrance fee" of one hundred taels.
If you want to get a VIP card again, not only will the procedures be stricter, but you will also have to pay twice the price.
So, unless it's a last resort, very few people will use the money in the VIP card.
It is precisely because of the preciousness of the VIP card that when the three VIP cards appeared in front of him, Feng Xiu, who was in charge of the reception of the auction, immediately had a big reversal.
Those who can get VIP cards are either rich or expensive. Even if Feng Xiu has the backing of the auction house, he does not dare to easily offend the owners of the two platinum cards and one red gold card.
Lin Ling didn't go in directly after taking back the VIP card, he pointed to Lin Zhan behind him and said, "This is my brother, can you go in with me?"
"Of course, the lady has a platinum card, and according to the regulations, you can bring two people into the venue for free. ”
Feng Xiu said this, but when he turned his head to look at Lin Zhan, his eyes immediately changed from the respect just now to the original arrogance.
"Once you're in the auction, follow this young lady. Don't walk around, let alone trespass, if something happens, not only will you be punished by the auction, but this young lady will also be affected. ”
These unkind words were clearly said by Chong Lin Zhan.
The people in the auction have always recognized the card but not the person. Moreover, the perception formed in the past is that people with real status will never enter the auction through the light of others. Since the guy in front of him needs to follow others to get in, it naturally can't be a big shot.
As for the young lady in front of him who said that he was his brother, he probably wanted to take care of this guy's face.
Feng Xiu thought so in his heart, and his face naturally showed a proud expression, and the tone of his speech became quite unpolite.
The change in Feng Xiu's attitude is so obvious that it is not disguised at all, and anyone can see it.
When Lin Ling saw Lin Zhan being humiliated, his face immediately became unkind. If it weren't for the unfathomable background of the auction house, it wasn't something that Lin Ling could provoke. She couldn't help it for a long time.
Lin Ling glared at Feng Xiu angrily, and was about to pull Lin Zhan in.
However, Lin Zhan didn't move at this time, just looked at Feng Xiu indifferently.
"Don't bother. ”
After speaking, Lin Zhan flicked his fingers, and a purple shadow flew out of Lin Zhan's sleeve and shot directly at Feng Xiu.
Feng Xiu has been in charge of receiving people here for a while, and he has never seen anyone dare to make trouble here. Seeing this scene, his expression immediately changed, and he was surprised and immediately reached out with his right hand and grabbed the purple shadow.
Although the distance between the two sides was close, the speed of the purple shadow was not too fast. So Feng Xiu easily caught the trajectory of the purple shadow and grabbed it as soon as he could.
As soon as Feng Xiu's right hand grabbed the purple shadow, he immediately felt a strong force coming from him, which shook Feng Xiu's right hand numb. Caught off guard, he couldn't hold the purple shadow anymore.
Just as the purple shadow was about to fly out of his hand, the strong force from the purple shadow suddenly disappeared, and the purple shadow lay smoothly in Feng Xiu's almost paralyzed hand.
Feng Xiu's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes looking at Lin Zhan were immediately full of fear.
Suddenly shot but can send and receive freely, based on this alone, the strength of the person in front of him surpasses himself by more than a notch.
However, Feng Xiu was jealous and secretly sneered in his heart.
The strength of the person in front of him is indeed good, if it were any other time, Feng Xiu would never be able to retreat under his hands.
But today, he is dead.
You must know that this is the entrance to the college auction, and today is a large-scale auction once every six months. In order to maintain law and order, the auction even invited the Imperial Army and the Academy's Law Enforcement Department to take action.
As a peripheral member of the academy auction, with the academy auction as a backing, Feng Xiu is simply fearless.
Anyone who dares to make trouble in this place at this time is no different from looking for death in Feng Xiu's eyes.
"Good boy, dare to make trouble here. ”
Feng Xiu looked at Lin Zhan with a sneer, and shook his right hand, which was a little numb, by the way. was about to greet someone, wanting to repair the guy in front of him, but there was an exclamation at the right time.
Feng Xiu turned his head strangely and found that everyone's eyes were focused on his right hand, so he lowered his head in hindsight.
It didn't matter if he saw this, Feng Xiu was so frightened that his hands shook and he almost threw the things in his hand.
In Feng Xiu's right hand, there was a purple card.
At the same time as Feng Xiu shook his hand just now, this card reflected a purple light, which made the people around it see its face clearly, causing bursts of exclamations.
"Purple ...... Purple Card. ”
Although everyone in power advocates equality for all, the truth is that people are hierarchical.
If those who pay the entrance fee of one hundred taels can make Feng Xiu look down proudly, those who hold the black gold card need to make Feng Xiu look at each other, those who hold the platinum card need to make Feng Xiu pay attention to it, and those who hold the red and gold card need to make Feng Xiu respectful.
Those who can take out the Zijin card need to kneel down to greet each other.
The Zijin card not only represents status, but also represents a kind of dignity.
The people in the academy who can take out the Zijin card can be counted in one slap.
These people are either the descendants of the major families, the eldest sons and grandsons, and the future heads of the families, or they are the royal family with status and influence, and the influence is not ordinary princes and grandchildren.
To put it clearly, nine out of ten people who can take out the Zijin card now are the Taishan Beidou and the mainstay of the future empire.
To apply for a Zijin card, you need not only money, but also identity.
As for the others, it's not that they don't have money in their hands and don't have enough to apply for a Zijin card, but that their identity is not enough, and they can't do it and don't dare to do it.
Each additional Purple Gold Card in the Academy is a challenge to those recognized future imperial giants. Unless you have the means to get these future giants to recognize your identity. Otherwise, a purple card will not only not be a privilege, but will become a disaster.
If it's more serious, it will even affect the family.
It's like a dragon robe, although as long as you can afford it, many people can make one themselves. But there are always only emperors of a few empires who are qualified to wear them in the world.
