Xinhu Restaurant is located in the east of Hongshan City, along the city's north-south clear water road to the Independence Square, and then east along the east-west Changjian Street to the east for a short distance, you can see a clear lake, as well as the green trees by the lake, a round island in the lake, connected by four long bridges inside and outside, the center of the island is a splendid palace, the main gate to the south, twelve white jade pillars support the dark red dome.

In the crowded Hongshan City, this lake island seems to be a quiet paradise, but when Bai Xiao came to the outside of the hotel, the entrances of the four long bridges were already crowded. A gorgeous counter blocks the surging crowd dozens of meters in front of the entrance, and it is not allowed to enter. And behind the counter, there is a very conspicuous signboard that reads: Today's house price.

Standard room: 8912 yuan

Lake view room: 12140 yuan

Standard Suite: 18,723 RMB

......

Grandmaster Suite: The starting price is 158888 yuan

The specific number is beating and changing almost every moment, and it is constantly increasing in value, only the price of the Grandmaster Suite is fixed, but the three words of the starting price mean that its price ceiling is far more than that.

Bai Xiao couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this price, thanks to Bai Wuya's make-up class before leaving, Bai Xiao knew a little about the prices in the Southern Continent, and the annual income of ordinary people was only around tens of thousands of silver dollars, and this grandmaster suite actually charged nearly 160,000 yuan a night!?

The sky-high price of Xinhu Restaurant has also aroused heated discussions among locals.

"The influence of this genius girl is really extraordinary, in just a few days, the house price has increased almost fivefold. ”

"These wealthy families are really generous, just in order to let their children meet that woman a day earlier, and say hello more, they can throw hundreds of thousands of silver dollars into it without blinking. ”

"It's not just the influence of that girl alone, I heard that the genius young master of the Lu family also stayed in the grandmaster suite, so if you live in Xinhu Restaurant in the next few days of the exam, you may get to know two geniuses at the same time, so it is reasonable to increase the house price by five times. At other times, even if you have a net worth of millions, you may not be able to let those two look at you. ”

"Hey, that's weird, isn't the Lu family in this city, and the grandeur of the family mansion is not much better than the Xinhu Restaurant, why do you want to live here?"

"What do you say? Of course, it's for the princess of the Demon Dao named Qingyue! With a peerless talent, she was accepted as a closed disciple by the great master Zhu Junshen in advance, and she has no background fetters, such a girl is a sought-after item in the eyes of a wealthy family. ”

"Young Master Lu wants to pursue Qingyue? No wonder...... But only the Lu family wants to chase it, and the other demon families are not moved?"

"Of course I'm tempting, otherwise this grandmaster suite can rise to this sky-high price in a few days? 160,000 yuan a day, the examination period is about seven days, and the total is at least one million silver dollars, no matter how generous the big family is, it will not take millions of silver dollars to go to waste." It is said that a few days ago, the young masters of the Zhang family and the Li family all came over on purpose, and the Li family even had a fight with the Lu family, which directly pushed the starting price of the grandmaster suite by 5%!"

"The red face is really a red face. ”

"Haha, brother, be careful when you speak, many of our people who watch the excitement are here for Qingyue. ”

These two people are right, Bai Xiao came specially for Qingyue, and after listening to their conversation, Bai Xiao has a strong fighting spirit in his heart.

Everything was as Bai Wuya expected, Qingyue was a cursed daughter in the mountains, but when she arrived in the southern continent, she immediately became shining. When Bai Xiao arrived in the Southern Continent, the biggest challenge was not how to awaken Qingyue's memory.

It's about how to face thousands of competitors.

If he was an ordinary person, even if he was not frightened at this moment, at least the pressure was doubled, but Bai Xiao only felt that the interest was high, and he was even happier than before he went down the mountain.

The more competitors there are, the more dazzling his victory will be!

If a woman as flawless as Qingyue is, what other points can there be...... That's obviously a group of self-defeating suitors around her!

For a while, Bai Xiao even wanted to thank Zhu Junshen, if he didn't make waves, Bai Xiao would never have experienced the thrill of defeating countless competitors and hugging the beauty.

While thinking, Bai Xiao separated the crowd and came to the counter in front of the entrance of the long bridge, and said straight to the point: "I want the room next door to Qingyue." ”

"Huh!?"

Behind the counter, the splendid service girl was stunned and subconsciously burped.

These days, more than half of the people who come to stay in Xinhu Restaurant are indeed directly or indirectly related to that Qingyue, but they are as straightforward as the mountain boy in front of them, and they are really unique!

Thanks to the well-trained service staff at Xinhu Restaurant, the girl immediately restrained her expression and replaced it with a formulaic smile: "This gentleman, hiccup, do you want to book the Grandmaster Suite......? Hiccup, there are no more rooms available today, Hiccup, you can bid for tomorrow night's room. ”

During the admissions examination of Hongshan College, such as Xinhu Restaurant, which has a super popularity among the powerful people, often faces the problem of more monks and less porridge, and all the powerful people gather in Hongshan City, each of them is a well-known overlord in their respective territories, where is they willing to live in a second-class suite? But there are only two sets of grandmaster suites in total, and it is impossible to increase them out of thin air, so in the end, there is a bidding system. When the supply of rooms exceeds demand, the restaurant will put the next day's room up for auction, and the highest bidder will win. At the same time, in order to avoid too much concentration of resources, residents can only bid for one day at a time, so every day's bidding will make the heads of the powerful people from all walks of life bloody, and the restaurant will make a lot of money.

"Hiccup, sir, to participate in the auction, you need to write down the bid amount here, and we will notify the highest bidder as soon as the auction ends at 6 o'clock this afternoon. However, for non-VIP members, we need you to provide all the funds when you participate in the auction, and the low price of the auction is not less than half of the previous day's transaction price, that is, today's starting price is 158888 yuan. So, are you sure you want to bid for the Grandmaster Suite?"

In the end, the girl finally calmed the spasm of the diaphragm, and returned to the formulaic voice that had been rigorously trained, and there was a trace of coldness hidden in her kind gaze, and she was waiting for the young man to return in defeat.

Every year during the examination period, the ownership of the grandmaster suite of Xinhu Restaurant will become the focus of the whole city, so the counter is inevitably harassed by idle people from all walks of life, inquiry, gossip, marriage, malicious bidding, and the early counter even received a bid of 9.8 billion silver dollars, so now unless it is a VIP customer who has been certified in the restaurant, it is required to participate in the auction in advance. And in this way, it is enough to keep nine out of ten people.

The young man in front of him, dressed in animal skins and with a rustic face, of course, could not afford the sky-high room price, so he had long been classified as an idle person by the girl.

The next moment, however, a crystal clear gemstone landed on the table.

"I don't have any cash, can I use the gems for the price?"

The strict training that the service girl underwent in the restaurant played an effective role at this moment, and she subconsciously nodded in response: "Of course, we have cooperation with Hongjin Bank, and we can purchase all kinds of precious ores at market prices, and the identification is also responsible for Hongjin Bank, which can ensure fairness, so ...... Hiccup!"

The next moment, the spasms that the girl had just subsided had flared up again, her eyes flashed with strange brilliance, and her gaze was firmly locked on the gem that Bai Xiao had put down.

Working in Xinhu Restaurant, the most important thing is vision, and the people who are ushered in are the top elites in the world, so there are many gold, silver and jewelry, but the gem in front of me is flawless, and there is a trace of ghost light in it like a swimming dragon, which is extremely rare!

Dragon's tears, legend has it that the tears of the beasts in ancient times were transformed, mysterious and spiritual, for ordinary people, the ghost light in the gem means a strong vitality that can bring the dead back to life, and for the demon Taoist, it means extremely clear and abundant magic energy.

And for anyone, this is a priceless treasure, the girl once saw a demon master with her own eyes, in the red gold shop, sold a finger-sized, dim light, cracked dragon tears, sold for 80,000 silver dollars.

The one in front of me is flawless, the light is clear and full, and the price is ......

"You, Hiccup, you wait a minute, estimate, Hiccup, need, need time. ”

The girl resisted the throbbing in her heart, took out a delicate balance from under the counter, and then lifted a small screen to cover the scale, so that the onlookers could not see the process of valuation, and finally, she put the dragon's tears on one end of the scale with gloves on. At the same time, four golden weights appeared out of thin air at the other end, trying to hold the balance down.

The girl's eyelids jumped, each of these golden weights represented 100,000 silver dollars, but 400,000 silver dollars fell, and the balance was still deflected in the direction of the dragon's tears! Then, two more golden weights and three silver weights fell, and it was only then that the balance was restored, and finally, several bronze weights fell, and finally the situation was completely stabilized.

"Total, total estimate, seven hundred and eighty thousand, hiccup, one thousand silver dollars. The girl looked at Bai Xiao again at this time, and only felt that the local temperament of this mountain boy was so amiable, and his bronzed skin was so charming that the formulaic smile was full of enthusiasm and sincerity, "You can store the treasure here, as long as the bidding price is not higher than the valuation, we will return the difference after the transaction, so ......"

"There's no difference, so be it. Bai Xiao was categorical, but his posture seemed calm and light. So the burly figure became even taller in the girl's eyes.

Although there is no delicate and gorgeous silk satin, and there is no fair skin that is admired by the world, this pure natural rough animal skin, with bronzed skin, has a unique temperament......

The intoxication in her heart did not affect the girl's professional quality, and after carefully accepting the dragon's tears, the girl said: "I will help you fill out the bidding application form, may I ask which family you are the son of?"

"The tribe in white, Bai Xiao. ”

"Okay, please put away this key, we will announce the auction results at 6 p.m., if you are successful in the bidding, the key will automatically become the suite key, and you can cross the long bridge to enter the restaurant with the key. If you are unfortunate enough to not be successful in the auction, you can come here with this item to claim your bidding money......"

"No need, I'll just wait here. ”

For anyone else, it's inevitable to wander around Red Hill City, a city with a history of 1,800 years that has witnessed the independence of the Western Continent and the fall of the first dynasty, with a deep historical imprint. The population of the city alone is more than two million within the city walls, and the population of the villages and towns outside the walls is several times that......

However, Bai Xiao had no interest in these things, he only cared about Qingyue.

So after getting the bidding voucher, he went directly back to the crowd behind him and overlooked the island in the lake with his height advantage. As for the discussion around him, he turned a deaf ear. Bai Wuya said that when you throw money wildly in the Southern Continent, the people around you will worship you as a god, and a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to respond to the prayers of the people around him one by one, so it's good to just not hear it.

Although there is something strange about the prayers of the southerners.

"Tsk, he's a nouveau riche who can't help himself, 160,000 silver dollars, just to see Qingyue?

"Joke, 160,000 silver dollars is the reserve price of the auction, and yesterday's transaction price exceeded 300,000, just with his broken behavior as a beast skin, he can afford 300,000 silver dollars?"

"No, no, no, I think this person is grandstanding at all, I don't know which loan shark borrowed the 160,000 silver dollars, took a voucher key, and then as long as the auction fails, get back the principal, and then repay the loan, the interest is as low as a few thousand silver dollars. Use a few thousand silver dollars to grab people's attention once, and now many traffic niches like to do this kind of thing. ”

"It's also that Miss Qingyue's influence is too strong, as long as you have a little relationship with her, you can be of infinite use, remember that before Qingyue moved in, the Zhang family deployed in advance, just grabbed her room the day before, when the key was handed over, I met with Miss Qingyue, said hello once, and drank afternoon tea with Dean Zhu who sent her over, and the room fee he paid at that time was only more than 30,000 silver dollars, do you say this business is worth it?"

"Being able to drink tea and chat with the current grandmaster, even if it is 100,000 silver dollars, it is a pity that there is no such good thing now, not to mention that the price has been fried to the sky by several wealthy families, even if you really miss the photograph and get the grandmaster's suite, do you really dare to live in it? In the past few days, even the Zhang family has stopped the idea of competing with the Lu family, and the others are not afraid of the Lu family's retaliation, not to mention that even if you live in, will Miss Qingyue take care of you? I'm afraid it's not self-defeating. ”

"I heard that on the first day of Qingyue's stay, it was the son of the Li family who took pictures of her opposite suite, but she was kicked out not long after getting the key, and spent tens of thousands of silver dollars but became the laughing stock of Hongshan City. ”

"Haha, you said that if this barbarian really took pictures of the suite, and he was really bold enough to live in it and see Qingyue, what would happen?"

......

In the midst of everyone's sour discussions, Bai Xiao remained motionless, silently waiting for the moment when the auction results were announced. At the same time, I looked at the central island from afar, thinking if I could see the moon earlier.

The eyesight of the Snow Mountain Hunter is excellent, even if the place where he is standing is nearly a thousand meters away from the main hall on the island, everything on the island is still meticulous, so Bai Xiao clearly saw the demon Taoist in the south.

According to the book, the Demon Dao has a history of 2,600 years in the Southern Continent, and it is not the oldest power of mankind, but it is the most effective force that has been proven after the change of dynasties and the rise and fall of civilizations. The southerners relied on the power of the Demon Dao to defeat countless natural and man-made disasters and establish a prosperous civilized world. In the Ice Cave of the Holy Mountain, Zhu Junshen also demonstrated to him the divine power of the Apocalypse Demon Dao.

Bai Xiao was still a little curious about the Demon Dao, especially since Qing Yue came to the Southern Continent to learn the Demon Dao. In Bai Xiao's opinion, the so-called Demon Dao is indeed some doorways.

At least the demon Taoists on the island alone have demonstrated the magic powers of flying into the air, taking things from the air, calling the five elements, turning stones into gold, etc., and there are many types, and from the perspective of exquisite and fancy, they are far superior to the tribal witchcraft.

It's a pity that I haven't seen Qingyue all the time.

I don't know if she's been in retreat in her room to prepare for the exam, or if she hasn't come back at all...... But since she is sure that she lives here, as long as she keeps guarding here, she can always see her.

Snow mountain hunters are never short of patience.

Unconsciously, the crowd around him had changed and changed, and the sun above his head was gradually sinking towards the horizon, Bai Xiao didn't wait for Qingyue to appear, but waited until the key in his hand changed color.

With a crisp jingle of bells, Bai Xiao's key turned from golden to translucent, which meant that his bid was successful.

Under the condition that the bidding amount is kept secret, Bai Xiao's price, which is more than double the previous transaction day, is simply a matter of course that the bid will be successful.

Bai Xiao did not hesitate, picked up the key and stepped forward, the girl behind the counter warmly welcomed: "Welcome Bai Gongzi to stay in Xinhu Restaurant, your room will be prepared at noon tomorrow, but now you can rest in the VIP room of the restaurant first......

Bai Xiao turned a deaf ear, and his pace became faster and faster.

No matter how good a hunter's patience is, it is only until the time comes to hunt, and when it is time to strike, he will be faster and decisive than anyone else!

The scenery on the long bridge is a spectacle that Xinhu Restaurant is proud of, when you walk across the long bridge, every time you cross a square brick, you can see a completely different scenery from the fence on both sides, from 1800 years ago to today, you can witness the Hongshan City from a wilderness to prosperity and wealth.

It's a pity that Bai Xiao turned a blind eye to all this, the changes in 1800 were left behind him in an instant, Bai Xiao's footsteps fell on the island in the lake, and he happened to hear a commotion at the gate of the palace in front of him.

"Miss Qingyue, you don't have to leave in a hurry, the check-out will be tomorrow...... And there must be something wrong with that, how can there be any reason to squeeze you out of the suite?"

"That's right, I don't know where it came from, things that don't understand the rules bid indiscriminately, Miss Qingyue, don't go, we will definitely help you administer justice......"

After that, Bai Xiao heard the voice of the girl who was haunted by her dreams.

"The rule of Xinhu Restaurant is that the highest price wins, there are two suites, and I bid third, of course I should go. What's more, the teacher arranged for me to stay here to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, not to show off my wealth, these days the house price has doubled day by day, my zero flowers have bottomed out, and the book has not read much, I really want to thank the friend who took the suite at a sky-high price, and finally let me calm down. ”

Bai Xiao listened from afar, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

Between us, what else are you polite about?
