Auction House
Quan Yi brought Huo Wu to the Saus City Auction House.
In response to Huo Wu's question, Quan Yi smiled and nodded, "That's right. What, have you been here before?"
Huo Wu shook her head. "I haven't. My parents never agreed to me coming to the Auction House."
She was curiously observing the inverted dome-shaped building. The Auction House was slightly smaller in volume than the Soul Fight Arena.
However, the Auction House didn't need to accommodate tens of thousands of spectators.
From this, it could be seen that the Auction House's financial resources were in no way inferior to the Soul Fight Arena.
Moreover, to enter, one needed to complete an auction qualification verification.
The lowest threshold was 10,000 Gold Soul Coins.
When Huo Wu was young, although she didn't lack pocket money, she didn't have that much savings.
Otherwise, with Huo Wu's personality, she would have already gone inside to take a look.
"Xiao Yi, do you have 10,000 Gold Soul Coins on you?"
Knowing Quan Yi's personal financial situation, Huo Wu asked with some surprise.
Quan Yi smiled and shook his head. His food, drink, accommodation, and transportation were all provided by others. In addition, Quan Yi rarely went shopping, so he carried even less cash. "However, doesn't the Auction House have another rule?"
Huo Wu hurriedly said, "You mean, selling things."
"That's right." Quan Yi nodded affirmatively.
To enter the Auction House and participate in auctions, besides proof of qualification, one could also obtain the qualification to participate in the auction by appraising the items they wanted to sell.
The appraisers in the Auction House would appraise the items and set a price.
Only if the appraised price of the item exceeded 1,000 Gold Soul Coins would one be eligible to enter the auction.
Today, Quan Yi's main purpose in coming to the Auction House was to sell something.
Quan Yi took Huo Wu's hand and walked directly to the entrance of the Auction House.
The two strode towards the entrance. At this moment, two young girls standing at the door bowed with smiles on their faces.
After bowing, one of them stepped forward and asked softly, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
The girl was not as tall as Huo Wu, but she was also about 1.75 meters tall, and she had a beautiful appearance and a well-proportioned figure. Her close-fitting long dress showed off her graceful curves to the fullest.
This made Huo Wu's eyebrows twitch slightly, and a great sense of vigilance arose in her heart. Her eyes quietly glanced at Quan Yi.
However, when she saw that Quan Yi's expression was normal and his eyes were not wandering around, she felt greatly relieved.
Pleased, Huo Wu happily said, "We are here to sell something. Can you take us to the appraisal area?"
After hearing this, the girl smiled slightly and said, "Of course, please follow me."
Quan Yi and Huo Wu followed the girl and walked into the Auction House.
Although it was called an Auction House, it felt more like a museum.
The interior decoration was simple and clear, with various exhibits placed everywhere.
After walking through the hall, the girl led the two to a room with the word "Appraisal" written on it.
Inside the room, there was a row of appraisers of different ages, appraising many items.
The girl explained to the two, "This is the ordinary item appraisal room. You can show the appraisers the items you want to auction."
Quan Yi nodded lightly, and then, from the Blazing Sun Heart, he took out his bone bicycle that emitted a faint golden light.
Quan Yi's action immediately attracted all the attention in the room to himself.
Huo Wu was also seeing a bicycle for the first time today.
For a moment, she couldn't even determine the specific function of the item through its shape.
Not only Huo Wu, but probably everyone who saw the bicycle felt the same way.
At this moment, the eldest appraiser among the eight stood up in surprise upon seeing the bicycle.
He hastily put down the item he was appraising and walked towards Quan Yi.
Although the young woman was also seeing such a peculiar object for the first time, she upheld her professional ethics and diligently introduced, "Appraiser Number One, please appraise this item for these two distinguished guests."
The elderly appraiser, dressed in a uniform black robe, quickly approached Quan Yi and cautiously inquired, "May I touch it?"
Quan Yi nodded faintly.
Only after receiving permission did the appraiser dare to bend down for a closer look.
The young woman beside Quan Yi had never seen the appraiser so cautious.
In an instant, she realized that the guests she had brought were likely of extraordinary origin.
After carefully examining it, Appraiser Number One trembled as he cautiously touched the bicycle's frame and seat.
The appraiser only touched it for a few seconds before quickly removing his hand from the bicycle.
With a respectful expression, he bowed to Quan Yi and said, "I apologize, this item of the distinguished guest is of great importance, and we are not capable of appraising it. However, please do not worry, please wait here for a moment, and I will immediately invite an appraiser who can appraise this item."
After speaking, the appraiser actually rushed out of the room. The old man with gray hair was still able to run swiftly, his speed not inferior to that of a young man.
This broadened Quan Yi's horizons.
Seeing this situation, Huo Wu also knew that the item Quan Yi had taken out was no ordinary object.
She turned her head and asked, "What exactly is the origin of this thing that it has made that appraiser so anxious?"
Quan Yi replied, "It's nothing, he probably recognized the material of this thing, so he rushed off."
"Material?"
Huo Wu looked closely again, and immediately, she felt a familiar aura from the frame.
She quickly covered her mouth.
The words 'Fire Spirit Holy Beast' almost slipped out.
Before long, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
The first to enter the room was not Appraiser Number One, but a refined middle-aged man.
Appraiser Number One followed obediently behind the middle-aged man.
After the middle-aged man entered the room, all the staff members in the room quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to him, "Manager!"
The middle-aged man didn't even glance at them, but walked quickly to Quan Yi and said respectfully, "Distinguished guests, my name is Zheng Xiao, and I am the manager of the Auction House. May I invite you two to my office for a detailed discussion?"
Quan Yi knew that there were many people here and it was not a suitable place to talk, so he agreed to Zheng Xiao's request.
With a wave of his hand, he returned the bicycle to the Blazing Sun Heart, and then followed Zheng Xiao out of the room.
Inside the manager's office of the Auction House.
Zheng Xiao directly shielded outsiders and began to appraise Quan Yi's bicycle alone.
He first looked at it carefully, then gently stroked it with his hand, and then stood up.
"Distinguished guest, if I am not mistaken, the main material of this item is the bone of a Fire Spirit Holy Beast, and judging by its age, it is at least about fifty thousand years old."
Zheng Xiao was indeed worthy of being a person who could serve as the manager of the Auction House, his eyesight was so sharp.
He could even see the approximate age, which greatly surprised Quan Yi.
"Manager Zheng is right, the frame of this bicycle is indeed made of the bones of a fifty-thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Holy Beast."
"Bicycle? This object is named 'car', does that mean it is a tool for workers to ride?
But, with only two vertical wheels in the front and back, does that mean one has to straddle the seat and use their legs to support themselves forward?"
