Chapter 615: Unspeakably Expensive
As an important trading city in Middle-earth Tianzhou, Wanhe City gathers a lot of monks, with a permanent population of about 30,000 or 40,000, and now it is a once-in-a-century auction, and monks from all over the world gather here, and the number of monks in the city definitely exceeds 100,000.
That's a terrifying number.
If Li Zhen can control this force, Huaguo can become the first power in Dongsheng Shenzhou.
The auction will be held for seven days, and the auctioned goods will become more and more valuable day by day according to the order, and at the same time, there will be a finale every day, which is considered a gimmick and has attracted the attention of countless people.
The main auction hall cannot accommodate everyone, only 3,000 seats, and these places will be given to those who have cooperated with the WHEL League for many years, as well as celebrities and people with deep backgrounds.
To put it bluntly, the people who can participate in the auction are all characters with heads and faces.
Li Zhen is the most inconspicuous existence among these people.
After the three of them left the residence, they already knew where the main auction venue was, and while feeling the lively atmosphere, they strolled away, and at the gate of the main venue, they met the six monsters of Dongzhou who had come together before.
Since coming to Wanhe City, Li Zhen and the six monsters of Dongzhou have not met, and they happened to meet today, and the two sides saw each other and stepped forward to say hello.
"I don't want to meet today, but it's a happy event?"
Li Zhen said.
The six monsters of Dongzhou are also very good to Li Zhen's senses, and greet him politely.
Li Zhen said with a smile: "The six brothers are also here to see the auction?" ”
"Haha! Brother Zhou laughed, where are we qualified to go in, it's just to come and see the excitement, and there will be a lot of small auctions around to see if we can get something. ”
Zhu Cong opened his mouth to explain.
Li Zhen used his former pseudonym Zhou Zhen.
Li Zhen nodded, expressing his understanding, according to the regulations, the six people are definitely not qualified to enter the main venue. Li Zhen also had no intention of inviting six people into the main venue, if he wanted to, with his honorable status in the Wanhe Alliance, there was no problem in inviting six people in, but he didn't want to do so.
The two sides were about to separate again, and they didn't want a steward in the Wanhe Alliance to see Li Zhen, so they hurriedly ran over to serve.
"Zhou Gongzi! You're already here, and the hospitality is not good, so please Haihan. ”
The one who spoke was the middle-aged steward who took Li Zhen and the three of them to see Situ Jing at the beginning, named Duan De. In order to cover up the identities of Li Zhen and the others, Situ Jing claimed that he was Zhou Zhen according to Li Zhen's requirements.
Duan De stretched out his hand to invite, and the six monsters of Dongzhou were all surprised, obviously the other party invited Li Zhen and the three of them to the main venue, originally Li Zhen didn't plan to invite the six people in, but in this case, if he was not invited, it would look a little unsightly, so Li Zhen said to Duan Steward: "Duan Steward, these six are my friends, I don't know if I can make it convenient for them to also see the auction and have a long insight?" ”
Steward Duan said without hesitation: "Where is Zhou Gongzi, your friend is a friend of our Wanhe Alliance, but it is just a matter of a few more tables and chairs, there is no problem at all." ”
When the six monsters of Dongzhou heard this, they were shocked, and it was hard to imagine that Zhou Gongzi's identity was so open in the Wanhe League.
"Why don't you go in and watch the excitement together?"
Li Zhen opened his mouth to invite.
The six monsters of Dongzhou felt that they had caused trouble to Li Zhen and didn't want to go in, but they might not have the opportunity to participate in this venue in their lifetime, and they really wanted to see it, so the six of them made a simple eye contact, and Zhu Cong said as a representative: "We really want to open our eyes, so let's borrow the light of Brother Zhou." ”
"You're welcome, they're all friends."
Li Zhen waved his hand, not caring.
Li Zhen and the six monsters of Dongzhou entered the auction hall under the guidance of the steward Duan De, and the venue was already crowded at this time, and the noise was endless, which showed how much importance the monks of Middle-earth Tianzhou attached to the auction.
It's just that Li Zhen couldn't help frowning when he looked at the messy scene, he didn't like this noisy environment, and it was easy to expose people with many eyes.
Duan De on the side noticed Li Zhen's strange appearance, seemed to know what he was thinking, smiled slightly, and explained: "Zhou Gongzi, the conference hall is a little chaotic, and there is no way, there are too many people, but don't worry, I have prepared a VIP room on the second floor for you, which is quiet." ”
Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction, if he was really in the hall, he would not be interested in seeing, but the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional, and the six monsters of Dongzhou on the side were shocked again. Although it was the first time for them to see this auction, they learned in the past few days that the people who could sit in the VIP room were not only rich or noble, but also had an extraordinary status, and they were even more curious about the identity of Zhou Zhen's brothers.
In fact, not only the six monsters of Dongzhou were curious about Zhou Zhen's identity, but even the steward Duan De didn't know his true identity, but he was only instructed by Situ Jing to serve with the highest treatment, respond to requests, and not be sloppy in the slightest.
Coming to the VIP room on the second floor, the room was clean and luxurious, the sight was very good, and he could see the entire auction hall, Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction.
"Zhou Gongzi is still satisfied? If you are not satisfied, you can change it again. ”
Duan Dedao.
"Master Duan is too polite, it's very good here."
Li Zhen nodded.
Duan De saw that Li Zhen was satisfied, his heart was relieved, and he said a few polite words, and then found a reason to leave first, after all, as a steward, there is a lot of work to do, and it is impossible to serve Li Zhen and his party alone.
After Duan De left, the subordinates served melon and fruit snacks, everyone sat down, Li Zhen undoubtedly sat on the main seat, Han Bao looked left and right, with a curious look, and then his eyes fell on Li Zhen, hesitated slightly, and said curiously: "Brother Zhou, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
"Oh? What does Brother Han want to ask? ”
Li Zhen took a sip of tea, was very satisfied with the tea, and said with a smile.
"I'm just curious about the relationship between Brother Zhou and Wanhe Alliance, and why they can be so grandly entertained by each other."
Han Bao said: "Of course, I didn't inquire about privacy, purely out of curiosity, if there was any inconvenience, I didn't ask." ”
Han Bao's doubts were also those of the other five monsters, and they all set their eyes on Li Zhen, waiting for an answer.
Although Li Zhen has a good impression of the Six Monsters of Dongzhou, he can't tell the truth, and said perfunctorily: "The family has deep business contacts with the Wanhe League, and if you account for the light of the family, you can also become a guest." ”
The Six Monsters of Dongzhou will definitely not believe it completely, but they will not continue to ask, but as Li Zhen said, their family must have a great relationship with the Wanhe League, otherwise, how can a small realm cultivation be served by the Heavenly Realm?
Duan De is a true immortal cultivator, a middle-level manager in the Chamber of Commerce, and his status is not low.
At this time, the auction had not yet started, Li Zhen remembered something and asked: "When Brother Deng came, he said that he wanted to buy some Immortal Yuan Pill or alchemy materials to speed up the promotion to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. ”
When Brother Deng heard this, he showed embarrassment, and the other five monsters also sighed, obviously things were not going well.
"I'm not afraid of Brother Zhou's jokes, although the six of my brothers are loose cultivators, but they also have some belongings for so many years, I thought that I could buy Xianyuan Dan smoothly, but I didn't want the Xianyuan Pill here to be five or six times more expensive than Dongsheng Shenzhou, so I was really shy in my pocket, so I broke my thoughts."
"That is, the prices here are five or six times more expensive, which is quite light, and some are even more than ten times more expensive, which is simply a robbery."
Han Bao was very unscrupulous.
The price of goods in Wanhe City is expensive, Li Zhen has seen it these days, but since he moved into the Wanhe League, all the expenses are paid by the Wanhe League, Li Zhen doesn't care much, and the things here are expensive, which is understandable, not for no reason.
Middle-earth Tianzhou is short of materials, and ninety percent of the materials have to be transported from Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the price must be high.
Since the words are here, Li Zhen plans to help the other party, and he will do it with his hands. Although there is no intention to solicit the other party, but when you are out of the house, it is far better to make more friends than to have multiple enemies, and it happened that at this time, the knock on the door sounded, and everyone looked at the door.
"Gongzi Zhou, Situ Jing asks to see you."
Situ Jing's voice sounded outside the door.
Situ Jing?
The six monsters of Dongzhou glanced at each other, revealing expressions of surprise and confusion.
In addition to the city lord in Wanhe City, there are four major supervisors under the seat, Situ Jing is one of them, the current city lord leads the other three supervisors to go out, the management of Wanhe City and Wanhe League in recent years is handled by Situ Jing, Situ Jing's name, it is difficult to know.
Situ Jing, one of the four directors of the dignified Wanhe City, actually used the word 'ask to see', how big is Zhou Zhen's origin?
Obviously, the relationship between Zhou Zhen's family and Wanhe Alliance is definitely not a simple cooperative relationship, because the word 'seeking to see' can be used to represent a relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Director Situ, please come in." ”
The door opened, and Situ Jing's formal suit came into view.
"I heard Duan De say just now that Zhou Gongzi invited a few friends to participate in the auction together, so I thought about coming over and asking if there was anything that needed to be served, so as not to be lazy."
Situ Jing said politely.
Situ Jing is a dignified Taiyi Xuan Immortal, and after the six monsters of Dongzhou entered the room, they unconsciously stood up to show respect.
"What a coincidence, I just want to ask Director Situ for help."
Li Zhen said.
"Haha, it's a great honor."
Situ Jing said: "I don't know where to use it?" ”
Li Zhen looked at Deng Xie and said, "It's not a secret, these friends want to buy some pills and medicinal materials that are helpful for cultivating and entering the realm, but the price is too expensive, so I thought about asking Director Situ to make it convenient and give a certain discount." ”
"Forget about the discount or something, the director is in charge, and give some gifts to the six."
Situ Jing was very generous.
Zhu Congqiang calmed down, hugged his fists and said: "I can't help it, being able to give some preferential treatment is already gone." ”
Situ Jing smiled: "Since you are a friend of Zhou Gongzi, you are a guest of Wanhe League, so you don't need to be polite." ”
Seeing this, Zhu Cong didn't dare to say anything, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
Situ Jing also came out of politeness, came over to say hello, she also went down to preside over the opening ceremony of the auction, and left after a short stay.
After Director Situ left, Han Bao asked in a shocked tone, "Brother Zhou, shouldn't your family be the behind-the-scenes boss of Wanhe Alliance?" ”
The boss behind the scenes?
When Li Zhen heard this, he looked puzzled and said, "Why does Brother Han think so?" ”
Han Bao pointed to the door, Situ Jing had just left, and there was still her body fragrance in the room, and said, "That is one of the four directors of Wanhe City, Taiyi Xuanxian-like existence, but when I see you, I want to use honorifics, this is not the treatment that partners should have." ”
Li Zhen didn't expect Han Bao's observation to be quite careful, in his impression, Han Bao was a very big person. However, Li Zhen was reluctant to explain too much about this, the more he learned about his situation, it was not a good thing for the six monsters of Dongzhou.
"My situation is a bit special, and you don't have to guess my real identity."
Li Zhen reminded.
Deng Xie and Zhu Cong and other old rivers and lakes agree with Li Zhen's words very much, as long as they are sure that Li Zhen has no ill will towards them, and at present, Li Zhen's status is unimaginable, for the six monsters, they must be heavenly figures, and it is not a good thing that these 'ordinary people' are too close.
When you meet in Pingshui, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, which is the best way to get along.
After Situ Jing left the VIP room, he came to the auction table below for the opening ceremony of the auction, and after the concise opening speech, the auction officially began, and the treasures were taken out for auction, and the exclamations, shouts and excitement of getting the treasure were endless in the auction hall. Li Zhen is not interested in the auction items below, because the things are too inferior, and with his net worth and identity, the treasure that can make him feel excited must be at least the emperor's magic weapon.
Li Zhen accidentally found that many of the VIP rooms on the second floor were empty and there were no guests, but these rooms were all booked, and he seemed to know more about the process of the auction, and knew that the things of the first day were not good, and he was waiting for the time to really auction good things.
Because Li Zhen had to wait for news from Li Yushi, he had nothing to do, so he came here to participate in the auction purely to kill time.
The auction on the first day was very successful, and near the end, Situ Jing kept his promise and sent Duan De to send six gifts to the six monsters of Dongzhou, which were not too valuable, but just right, which showed that he was very experienced in handling human affairs.
Situ Jing had only seen one side of the six monsters, but he took out six pills that were very useful for their current realm.
Deng Xie received the Immortal Yuan Pill and some medicinal materials to consolidate the Heavenly Immortal Realm, which could be regarded as giving him a long time to practice without worries.
The six monsters of Dongzhou solemnly thanked Li Zhen, if there was no Li Zhen, they would not have gotten a gift, even if they couldn't enter this auction.
"This kindness is unforgettable, please wait for me."
Deng Wei took the lead, and was about to salute Li Zhen, but Li Zhen hurriedly stopped him and said: "Don't be like this, they are all friends, if you have to do this, it will be too angry." ”
"Brother Zhou is not informal, but we are ashamed of it, although the six of my brothers are soft-spoken, but they also have brute strength, if they are useful to the six of my brothers in the future, they will go all out."
Zhu Cong was very good at talking and promised Li Zhen.
"Not bad! If there is a dispatch in the future, it will be fine. ”
Deng Wei nodded.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"
Li Zhen smiled slightly, and then everyone left the auction hall happily.
