Auction houses
The demon went out of the gate of the county casting and forging association, and took off the clothes issued by the association on behalf of the identity of the second-level casting and forging master, and hung it on his arm, not that the demon didn't want to wear it, this is a proof of identity, the demon is still very proud of it, mainly because the clothes are too big, they don't fit, and they look funny, and the demon still pays attention to the image.
On the way, the demon calculates how much money he has left. The demon is born in a poor child, and the poor child is in charge early, and every strip of money is eager to be used as a second strip of money. From an early age, I developed the habit of planning to use money, and every day I had to calculate how much money I used today and how much money I had left. Sometimes, though, plans can't keep up with changes, resulting in large deficits. I have been in the school for nearly 50 days, which is counted as 2 months:
The tuition fee is 5 taels multiplied by 2, a total of 10 taels, the accommodation fee is 10 taels, and the number of 22 taels for 50 days is a bit amazing, because the demon is a forger and forger, it is a heavy physical work, and it is necessary to add meals, plus it is the time to increase the body, and you must eat a lot of meat at each meal, otherwise there is no energy, and the demon feels that this can not be saved. Miscellaneous miscellaneous used two taels, a total of 44 taels.
Rent a casting and forging room for 2 months, a total of 6 taels, and the fuel cost is 89 taels. The cost of alloy materials is 652 taels. The demon is already very provincial, and the practice is made of cheap alloys, and some materials are practiced repeatedly. Break three hammers for a total of 3 taels. This one is a bit not worth it. "Get an alloy hammer in the future, and see if you're still broken. "The demon chopped his feet viciously.
"Now I have more than 20 taels left on my body, and I can only survive for 1 month, and I have to find a way to make money, otherwise the tuition, the accommodation fee, and the damn thirty-two kinds of alloy production left... "The demon doesn't want to. All that is left in my head is money, money. "I need to make money. The demon shouted.
The demon thought to himself: "Since you have left the school, you will walk around the county town and get familiar with the lower county town." I have been busy working day and night for 2 months, so I can relax for a few days. "Pay attention, the demon asked for the location of the bazaar and the auction house. The bazaar should be closer, visit the bazaar first, and then go to the auction house.
The demon entered the bazaar. The bazaar is full of people and quite lively. The bazaar has almost everything. Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, rice, noodles, bowls and chopsticks, all kinds of groceries, as well as the sale of alloy products, mainly some daily necessities and daily necessities, swords, guns, swords, shields and armor can not be traded in the bazaar, can only be bought and sold in the blacksmith shop. But there are daggers, short swords, short knives, and even throwing knives, flying swords.
The demon is a second-level caster, and he naturally has the eye to evaluate alloy products, and he knows the quality of alloy products at a glance.
Without seeing anything that caught his eye, the demon came to the bird and beast market.
The Bird and Animal Market is a place where wild birds and animals are sold, which are bought by traders from hunters in the mountains and transported to the county town to be sold. The first time the demon came to the bird and beast market, he didn't know the situation, so he followed a middle-aged man who seemed to be a regular customer to observe. After following along the way, the demon learned a lot of things, and he didn't find out what he needed and went back to school.
The demon gets hungry and goes to the food stall to eat noodles.
After eating and checking out, the stall owner said: "A pound of cooked meat costs 50 Wen, a bowl of noodles is 9 Wen, and you ate 3 bowls before and after." So it's a total of 77 Wen, and if you are charged 2 Wen, you can pay 75 Wen. ”
While cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, the stall owner said to himself: "This customer is not big, but he can eat it." ”
After paying, the demon went directly to the auction house. At the entrance of the auction house, the guards blocked the demons.
The guard thought to himself: "A hairy child, dressed very shabby, not even a fake brand, better than a beggar." The auction house is a place for the rich, so don't come in for the poor. ”
The demon didn't know what the guard was thinking, so he took out his second-level forging certificate and handed it to the guard. The guard, who was illiterate, shook his head and said, "Wait." ”
The guard took the demon certificate and entered the hall of the auction house and found a beautiful customer service. The customer service of the auction house is all beautiful women, and the auction house is a place where rich people gather, and everyone understands it. This beauty is wearing a serpentine dress, which looks convex and concave up and down, revealing half of her breasts, which is reminiscent. The guard explained the situation, and the beauty opened the certificate and looked, "Cai Demon Demon, second-level casting and forging master." The customer service of the auction house is naturally well-informed, and of course understands the value of a second-level caster. The second-level casting and forging master can be said to be one in a million, and only one second-level casting and forging master can be produced out of 3,000 people. Even if there is no money now, this is temporary, and the social status is high.
The beautiful customer service followed the guard, walked to the door in a slender manner, and after seeing the demon, although she had been trained for a long time, her words and deeds had already been standardized, and she also asked in a tone of disbelief, "Your name is Cai Demon Demon, a second-level casting and forging master? ”
The demon smiled, picked up the clothes of the second-level forger on his arm, unfolded them, and rolled up the sleeves of the clothes on his arms, revealing his bulging muscles, and replied, "Yes." ”
The beautiful customer service's face calmed down, turned around, let go of the doorway, made a gesture of please with her left hand, and said, "Sir, please." ”
The beautiful customer service waited for the demon to come to the front, turned her head and whispered to a guard: "You immediately go to the Forge and Forge Association to ask if there is a second-level forging master who is more than ten years old, what it looks like." The guard nodded, and immediately went to inquire about the news.
The beautiful customer service took the demon into a reception room, poured a cup of tea, put it next to the demon sitting, and asked, "Mr. demon, what service do you want?"
"Look at today's auction. The demon replied.
"Tonight's auction hasn't started yet. Here's the situation with today's auction items, you can take a look first. The beautiful customer service handed the demon an item introduction form. "I have something to do, get out first. You're at your own convenience. After saying that, the beautiful customer service went out and closed the door casually.
The idea of the beautiful customer service: "First circle this child who claims to be a second-level forger in the room, and wait for the information to come back, and then decide what to do." If the child is really a second-class forger, he should serve him well, and if he is not a second-class forger, then the certificate and clothes are stolen, so he will beat the child and send him to the yamen. ”
After 25 minutes of effort, the guard who inquired about the news of the demon came back and verified that the Forge and Forge Association had a fifteen-year-old second-level caster, and the certificate, name, and appearance issued today matched the demon demon. When the beautiful customer service listened, her face immediately became excited, a potential big customer. Part of the revenue of customer service is based on the customer's trading volume, and this customer must be wooed.
The beautiful customer service put on makeup, smeared some powder on her face, drew her eyebrows, took a few more watches, and walked to the door of the demon's reception room. knocked lightly on the door and asked very politely, "VIP, are you there?"
"Please come in. The demon replied.
The beautiful customer service pushed the door in, "Do you want water?"
"The gist. "The demon is thirsty after eating three bowls of noodles.
The beautiful customer service picked up a kettle, walked lightly to the demon's side, and gave the demon's water cup to the water. The beauty put back the kettle and said to the demon with a smile: "VIP, my name is Sun Yangyang, you can call me Yangyang." Let me give you an explanation of the items that our auction house is auctioning today. The beautiful woman took out a watch and put it on the table in front of the demon, and her head was almost attached to the demon's head, pointing to the contents of the watch and explaining it to the demon.
"Our auction house will explain the details of the items to be auctioned at the time of auction, explaining the origin of the items, who made them, what materials they made, what their functions are, how to use them, restrictions on the use of the occasion, what defects there are, whether there are defects, and uncertain places. If you find an item that is significantly different from what we have been shown, you can return it or claim compensation. What we do at auction house is credibility. Since our auction house provides appraisal, sale, and guarantee services, we charge a 5% handling fee on the final sale price of the seller's item, and the buyer does not charge it. It is the selling price of the item, not the starting price.
The demon thought to himself: "Uncle gave me three books of luck books, it must have been stolen or robbed, otherwise how could there be three? If it is a transaction, just trade the one I need, why bother to get three books of luck books." "I can't ask, "What happens if you put the stolen items up for auction at the auction house?" ”
The demon asked: "What if the item I auctioned was stolen or stolen by the seller, and the original owner finds me to chase it?" ”
Sun Yangyang replied: "Our auction house will require the seller to make a guarantee of the proper origin of the item. At the same time, we try to keep the confidentiality of our customers as much as possible. ”
The demon thought to himself: "The money has been taken, and it is guaranteed to be useful." As long as the price is high enough or strong enough, you can't afford to provoke it, and the devil believes that you will keep the customer's secret. "But you can't say that. The demon only nodded.
"VIP, you can get a VIP card. After getting this VIP card, you can tell us if you need anything, we can help you pay attention to the items you want, and we can notify you in time and free of charge. Sun Yangyang tried his best to recommend VIP cards to the demons. Because of the VIP card of the customer service, the customer service can get a commission from the transaction volume of the VIP customer.
"What's the downside?" the demon asked.
"It doesn't hurt. There are no fees. When you enter the gate, you can come in as long as the sign is displayed, and the doorman will not block you. If you trade a certain amount, you can also enjoy a fee reduction. Some items can also be identified for free, and some items are identified for a fee, but they can be discounted. Sun Yangyang said the various benefits of VIP cards.
The demon looked at Sun Yangyang's longing eyes and thought, "Anyway, there is no harm. I couldn't bear to refuse, so I nodded and agreed.
Sun Yangyang smiled happily, took out a table, and said to the demon: "VIP, I'll fill in a form to fill in some of your information." ”
Sun Yangyang filled in the form: "
Name: "Cai Demon Demon"
Occupation: "County School Student"
Social Class: "Second Class Forger"
Loved one: "None"
Sun Yangyang filled in the middle of nowhere, and paused meaningfully, thinking that he was still a high-quality unmarried phoenix man.
After filling out the form, Sun Yangyang smiled and said to the demon: "VIP, you wait." I'm going to apply for a VIP license right away. ”
After a while, Sun Yangyang applied for the VIP card and sent it to the demon. I've been chatting with the demon and chatting about the auction house. Until the evening when the auction begins. Sun Yangyang sent the demon to the auction venue, found a seat and sat down, and sat next to the demon casually.
The demon is still a chick for the auction, and he doesn't understand anything. If the demon didn't understand, he asked Sun Yangyang on the side, Sister Yangyang shouted, listening to Sun Yangyang's heart, answering all questions, and quietly telling the demon a lot of anecdotes and unspoken rules of the auction. How to use momentum and power to overwhelm competitors when bidding, and how to coax the items they are auctioning when auctioning their own items.
The first item in the auction is a medicinal herb, a century-old ginseng, and the demon doesn't understand it, so he just looks at it. The second auction item is leather armor, and the demon is not an expert in this industry, but only knows a little fur. This armor is a high-quality one, lightweight, ninety percent new, suitable for everyone to wear, and women can too. Shot 300 taels of silver. The demon only knows that the alloy armor is more than ten times more expensive than the weapon of the same level, and the leather armor does not understand. The third piece is a three-handled high-quality alloy long sword, which is not a famous work, and sells for a total of 30 taels. The demon estimated. To build this grade long sword according to your own level, the cost of one is 6 taels. The auction fee is 1.5 taels. 3 can earn 11.5 taels. That's a good profit.
The fourth piece is a dagger with a level 3 aura. The work of a fourth-level forger, brand new. The demon thought that it was probably the product of the fourth-level forging master practicing, and finally took 1,000 taels. The demon knows that the items are divided into five grades: general, high-quality, spiritual objects, treasures, and immortal things. A spiritual object is an item with aura, but how to classify this spiritual object, the demon didn't understand, and asked Sun Yangyang.
Sun Yangyang has been in the auction house for a few years, and he still has this common sense, and replied: "There are 3 attributes to evaluate spiritual objects. Aura strength: How much aura is carried by the spiritual object. Reiki activity, some Reiki work actively, and some Reiki do not want to be called. The affinity of Reiki is the adaptability of Reiki, which can be affinity and coordination with most users, and most people can use it. For users, the affinity of spiritual objects ranks first, the activity ranks second, and the strength of aura ranks third. The classification is 5 levels, which is the five-point rule. For example, the very low strength of the aura is level 1, the low strength of the aura is level 2, the average strength of the aura is level 3, the high strength of the aura is level 4, and the strength is extremely high is level 5. Because these three attributes are not independent of each other, but affect each other; senior technicians want to make spiritual objects, dislike this division is too general, not accurate, so they use the five-five division, that is, each major level is divided into 5 small levels, a total of 25 levels, and to explain the relationship between the strength of a spiritual object's aura, the activity of aura, and the adaptability of aura.
"However, because the auction house has to make an introduction table of items, it must accurately express the level of the aura, but also cannot make the customer dim, so it does not use the five-point method or the five-five method, but adopts the three-point method. The three-point rule is divided into 3 major levels, and each major level is divided into 3 small levels, for a total of 9 levels. ”
The demon understood: "My own culture likes to use the words "three" and "five" to express the meaning. The five-point method is too simple to accurately express the attributes of Reiki. The five-five division is too delicate and too professional, and the average person can't understand it, but it's not popular enough. The trichotomy of Reiki is more suitable for the public to understand, accept and use. ”
The fifth is a pet, a falcon, which has been domesticated, and a rich man's plaything, which is used to catch rabbits and birds. Fifty taels were sold.
This pet makes the demon smart, doesn't the school ask for a pet. Raising a bird is a good choice, I don't raise a big bird, I eat more than me, and smelly, I can't afford to raise it. The bird can't eat much, and it doesn't cost money to buy food; the bird can be locked in a cage and won't run around; the bird is also a fine call, not noisy, and it won't affect one's sleep or something; there is not much, it doesn't smell, it's easy to clean. But it's too expensive to buy birds in the auction house, and there is not a bird and beast market next to the bazaar, so go there and take a look, anyway, it's not very good, and if you can't raise it to death, you can pass it. In this way, the credits for my pet class have been dropped.
The demon solves a big thing, and his heart is a lot more relaxed.
Looking at a few more lots, the demon felt that the time was a little late, so he said goodbye to Sun Yangyang: "Sister Yangyang, there is still class tomorrow, I'll go back first." ”
Although Sun Yangyang was reluctant to give up, he knew that it was very important for students to go to class, so he said goodbye: "Brother demon, come when you are free." "It's more intimate.
