Chapter 81: Auction
Chapter 81: Auction
Liu Yang and Xinyue were in the room deciding what they would do next if they would go to the battlefield to gain some levels or stay inside the city and wait to get to the third stage of the tide of shadow beasts.
According to Xiao Xi's words the tide has a total of four stages, at each stage following, there would be a drastic reduction in the number of shadow beasts, but its power increased dramatically.
Liu Yang wanted to go to the battlefield to train his battle instincts, but it was useless at that time, because there was one shadow beast for every ten thousand participants, there would be no way he would fight directly against these shadow beasts alone, and in the end he still could be killed by some participant of the ten thousand participants.
What they decided was to go for a walk in the city, Liu Yang and Xinyue went on a date in the city.
Unlike the bloody scene and heavy weather on the battlefield, the city was more cheerful, people coming and going, people and mounts flying, cries of vendors announcing their items, despite the rather heavy weather, the city was full of life.
In order not to show her face, Xinyue was wearing black clothes that totally covered her body, but could not hide her sensual body, many looked at her when she was walking.
Liu Yang and Xinyue were holding hands as they walked through the Blood Wall City, the two were curious to know about the items being sold in stores.
But as they strolled through the city, the two discovered that a great auction at the Commerce Hall, Liu Yang and Xiao Xi decided to go to the auction to see what kind of items would be sold.
The Commerce Hall was a place that belonged to the Mercantile Alliance, the place had basically three functions, evaluate the items, buy, and auction. It was possible to exchange items for cash or other items in the Commerce Hall item catalog.
The size of the Commerce Hall was extremely large, it seemed to be the size of ten football fields combined, in the entrance there was a large plaque with golden letters written "Commerce Hall", at each end of the phrase there was an open hand drawing with a coin with a phoenix drawing drawn on it, this was the Mercantile Alliance symbol, the Phoenix coin in the hand.
The entrance was full of people wanting to get in, there were large rows ordered. Looking at this scene, Liu Yang knew it would be too long before he and Xinyue entered.
Liu Yang wanted to pick up the communication device to send a message to Xiao Xi and ask for help from her so they could get in faster, but this would attract unnecessary attention, so he chose to wait in line.
It took some time before Liu Yang could see the entrance, sometime later, Liu Yang came near the entrance, there were only three people in front of him. There was no confusion during the queue because the alliance did not like problems at their door during their events, everyone knew this, and no one would like to have problems with the alliance. This attitude receives praise from the smaller and medium powers.
The interior was extremely wide with several glass boxes containing items inside, each of these items was for sale and was extremely expensive and precious. The scene was akin to a museum.
There were beautiful and elegant women in tight uniforms attending some people, some of them making gestures and sensual postures to attract these rich young men in an attempt to win some extra.
There were still some hours before the auction began, so Liu Yang activated the Phantom Vision while holding Xinyue's hand, the two were looking at the items to see if there was anything that caught their eye.
There were many people in the place, but it was not difficult to walk, pacing from side to side, Liu Yang and Xinyue saw various types of weapons, armor, accessories, pills, elixirs, herbs, forge materials, each item was extremely rare. The minimum level of equipment was level 100.
Walking for some more time, Liu Yang came across an interesting item called Ring of the Frost, it was a fairly handsome light blue ring with a few small shiny bright stones around.
Name: Frost Ring - A ring forged inside an ice volcano.
Rank 3 ring
Effect: + 30% on water element powers
Weight: 50 grams
Prerequisite: Level 100
Price: 1,000,000 or equivalent exchange
"My little Xinyue, do you like it?" Liu Yang decided to ask Xinyue if she would like that ring since she did not currently have any accessories.
"I like it, but right now it's not what I need, I'm looking for some kind of defensive accessory." Xinyue wanted this ring, but for the shadow beasts tide, it was not necessary to have a strong attack, but a strong defense because the purpose of this tide is survival.
"I see, we'll keep looking to see we can find some defensive accessory"
Before Liu Yang and Xinyue could leave, a voice is heard next to them.
"Beauty, if your lover cannot buy a ring for you, this young master here can, it's only a million gold coins, for this young master this little amount of money is nothing!" These words were spoken aloud, many people looked in his direction.
This young master had seen Xinyue before during the fights against the shadow beasts, he was astonished by her abilities and beautiful body, but there was one thing that bothered her, was that she already had a lover. This young master had sent some spies to follow Liu Yang and Xinyue, he discovered that the couple always fought together and then returned to Aunt Mei's Hosting, the two were in the same room.
The young master began to imagine the scenes in which Liu Yang and Xinyue were doing nocturnal activities, that left him with envy and jealousy. He wanted to know why someone like him, who came from an influential background, did not have a skillful and beautiful woman like Xinyue by his side, while someone who was poor who could not afford a better lodging had a wonderful woman like Xinyue.
People understood a few things as they looked at the scene, they saw Liu Yang and Xinyue hand in hand, through the phrases of this young master, he would be interested in Liu Yang's woman.
Everyone thought Liu Yang would say something to defend himself, but contrary to everyone's expectations, Liu Yang and Xinyue just went to another area to see the items, they did not even pay attention to the words of this young master, it was like if he did not even exist.
That was a great humiliation, if Liu Yang answered the young master's words, he would still be giving the face, but ignoring the words of the young master, that was equivalent to slapping his face because it was as if he did not even exist. There was no greater humiliation than this for those who liked the attention.
Because this type of person always received attention from a young age, but at the moment the other party did not pay attention, it was as if that person did not exist in that place, so it was a great humiliation. At that point, Liu Yang and Xinyue were doing just that.
The people around who were watching this scene began to laugh at the young master, this made his face go dark and fists were tightly closed were looking at the backs of Liu Yang and Xinyue with anger and hatred. With a wave of hands, the young master and his group left the place and went to where the auction was to be held.
Liu Yang did not care about this young master, for he was just another idiot wanting to draw attention. Xinyue was a little worried about this because she knew that this kind of person was difficult to hard handle.
After some time walking back and forth, the two got tired and headed for the auction site.
The auction was to take place in the central hall of the Commerce Hall, this hall occupied half of this place. The Commerce Hall was set up to support a great number of people because the alliance knew that there would be an immense throng in the Blood Wall City during the shadow beasts tide. This was a great business opportunity for the alliance.
The central hall was extremely large, capable of supporting hundreds of thousands of people in common seats, and had only a few dozen VIP rooms. The hall was extremely elegant and exquisite, there was a large stage that was covered by a red curtain. The vision was magnificent.
Liu Yang and Xinyue sat in the middle row because the chairs in the front row were already occupied. Xinyue was lying on the shoulder of Liu Yang, many cast glances at the figure of Xinyue who lay.
Time went by quickly, all the chairs were occupied, the VIP room and the normal ones. The lights go out and the curtain opens.
The auction was starting.
