Chapter 84: Auction House Deal

After leaving the Class Changing Temple, Lucien prepared to head to the Chunfeng Restaurant for supplies.

Ever since he had eaten at the Chunfeng Restaurant, he had grown fond of the taste of the dishes made there.

He often went out to level up, so naturally, he needed to buy food.

In any case, the food at the Chunfeng Restaurant was not very expensive for Lucien; as long as he did not buy high-end ingredients, the prices of some ordinary ingredients were affordable.

Looking at the bustling streets, they were incredibly lively.

Just then, Lucien suddenly stopped in front of a shop.

Yizhou Auction House.

It was one of the few auction houses in the entire Wing Province City.

However, the Yizhou Auction House was definitely the largest auction house in the entire Wing Province.

Every year, the Yizhou Auction House had quite a few high-quality items and had even auctioned off divine artifacts.

However, this Yizhou Auction House was run by the Native Residents in Battle Online.

There were many requirements to enter the auction house.

To sell items, they had to be at least dark gold or above.

Of course, some extremely rare items were also acceptable.

As for participating in the auction, one could attend for free if they had five thousand reputation points.

Otherwise, one needed to purchase an admission ticket; a single ordinary admission ticket cost 100 gold coins.

For the grand annual auction, a single admission ticket cost as much as tens of thousands of gold coins.

However, among the players, it was estimated that only the guild leaders of the Nine Great Guilds had enough reputation.

As for using admission tickets, very few people were willing to spend money to buy them.

The admission tickets were simply too expensive.

Therefore, very few people knew what kind of treasures were actually sold inside this auction house.

Lucien checked his reputation; he already had over twenty thousand points.

Furthermore, he happened to have some items on him that needed to be taken care of, so he might as well handle them here.

It would also be a good opportunity to pad his wallet.

However, the auction house charged a ten percent commission on auctioned items.

Of course, this was because the Yizhou Auction House was famous, and both security and confidentiality were well handled, which justified such a high commission.

If one wanted a lower commission, they could go to the auction house jointly owned by the Nine Great Guilds or other auction houses in the city.

To open an auction house, many things were required: a large amount of gold coins, reputation, paying a security deposit, and hiring security personnel.

This was simply not something players could open at the moment.

Even if the Nine Great Guilds joined forces, it was absolutely impossible for them to afford to open an auction house.

This auction house was a reward obtained by a player who had inadvertently completed a hidden quest.

At first, it was booming, business was very good, and they were making a fortune.

But shortly after, it was suddenly announced that for the sake of human development, they voluntarily transferred it to the Nine Great Guilds for the price of one gold coin.

This was how the Nine Great Guilds came to jointly own such an auction house in Battle Online.

However, after the Nine Great Guilds took ownership of the auction house, business there became increasingly poor.

Security and confidentiality measures were not up to par; if you had any good items, as soon as they appeared in the auction house, they would quickly be targeted.

Many good items were even directly demanded to be handed over by the Nine Great Guilds.

Over time, very few people went to the auction house run by the Nine Great Guilds.

Most players went to shops opened by other players or went to the trading area to set up their own stalls and sell their goods.

Compared to the Nine Great Guilds’ auction house, these shops or selling items oneself were more reassuring.

The auctions that used to be held once a week were now held only once a month.

No one wanted to see the items they had spent a high price to buy end up becoming someone else’s before they even got to use them.

Just as he entered the auction house, a beautiful attendant immediately walked over.

"Hello, are you here to participate in today’s auction?"

There were many people patronizing the auction house, but there were also many reception staff here.

They could take care of every customer who came here, so there would be no situation where a customer came in and no one paid attention to them.

"I would like to sell some things."

"Alright, please come with me!"

As she spoke, she led Lucien to a reception room.

"Please wait a moment, our appraiser will be here shortly."

As soon as she finished speaking, an old man in his sixties or seventies walked in.

When this old man saw Lucien, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately revealed a smile.

"It is actually Falling into the Human World, welcome, welcome!"

"I am the appraiser here, Yin Tong."

"Xiao Lan, brew a pot of good tea for this gentleman."

It seemed that this person also had a scouting technique similar to the Insight Skill.

Scouting skills were very precious, and very few people possessed them.

Just like seeing a stranger and being able to call out their name for no reason; this was almost impossible.

Therefore, those who possessed a scouting technique were not simple people.

It was just unclear why the other party was so enthusiastic.

He was just a newcomer who had just entered Battle Online not long ago; these Native Residents would not be so enthusiastic toward him.

Lucien used the Insight Skill to look at the other party.

"Ding, identification failed, please increase the level of the Insight Skill."

In just an instant, Lucien could roughly guess that the other party should be above level 70.

The Yizhou Auction House had such a grand scale; an expert above level 70 was actually just a small appraiser here.

"Tea is unnecessary; I want to entrust you to help me sell a few things."

Hearing that Lucien wanted to entrust them to sell items, Yin Tong’s eyes lit up.

"Easy to say, easy to say, but our Yizhou Auction House has its rules."

"First, items entrusted to us for auction generally must be at least dark gold level or above."

"Second, we will charge a ten percent commission fee."

Lucien nodded and said, "Hmm, I know about this!"

"These are the items I want to auction!"

After speaking, he took out a few items from his backpack.

The first item was the thousand-year peach wood sword.

The weapon’s bonuses were very good, but unfortunately, it was only a level 1 dark gold weapon.

He was already level 30, so this weapon was no longer suitable for him.

Moreover, there was no way to sell it to players; before level 10, if one had not left the Novice Village, they could not trade; they could only trade gold coins.

Therefore, wanting to use this weapon to train newcomers was almost impossible.

"Oh, it is actually a dark gold weapon!"

Yin Tong looked at Lucien, then took the thousand-year peach wood sword and began to check its attributes.

But when he saw that the peach wood sword was only level 1, Yin Tong was a bit disappointed.

He had thought that Falling into the Human World would take out something dropped by a celestial beast!

It turned out to be just a level 1 dark gold equipment!

Dark gold equipment was indeed very rare, but after all, it was only level 1 and could only be used as a transitional item.

Therefore, it was of little use and difficult to sell for a high price.

Moreover, their Native Residents’ descendants were all made to cultivate to level 10 before they were allowed to go out for training.

This made the level 1 thousand-year peach wood sword even more of a useless item, so this weapon was destined not to sell for a very high price.

At most, someone would take it for collection.

But as Yin Tong finished reading the attributes of the thousand-year peach wood sword, he could not help but widen his eyes, as if something incredible had happened.

"It actually adds Luck! And it adds two points of Luck; are you really willing to sell this?"

He looked at Lucien, who was sitting in front of him, in disbelief.
