Chapter 570 Auction
Tickets for tonight's auction.
Manager Qiu replied with a smile.
"An auction?"
Xiao Weiqing looked at Ji Sheng with a questioning gaze.
Ji Sheng explained, "After the Purple Sea closes, some treasures will be kept for personal use, some will be bartered, or used to do favors, but most will flow into the trading market."
"Among them are some rare and exquisite treasures that will be auctioned off, which is where Uncle Qiu and his team make their profits."
"You should know that the price I get from Uncle Qiu is at least as high as, if not lower than, the price the Holy Land offers for recycling."
Xiao Weiqing thought for a few seconds and then said, "If we auction it, the price of the treasure will exceed the market price, so why not exchange it in the Holy Land?"
"Let Uncle Qiu talk about that, since it involves their operating methods."
Manager Qiu laughed and said, "It's no secret."
Xiao Weiqing listened quietly, waiting for what was to come.
Manager Qiu didn't keep them in suspense and asked directly, "Xiao Weiqing, what if a member of the Fourth Heaven wants to exchange for something beyond their authority?"
"Take divine crystals for example. Only members of the fifth level of the Heavenly Realm can exchange for them, and there are also quota restrictions."
"You need to understand that the members of the Holy Land have diverse backgrounds, including people from various civilizations. If they all use low-level treasures to exchange for points and then use those points to exchange for high-level treasures, even though the Holy Land is a large and powerful organization, it cannot allow such a thing to exist."
Xiao Weiqing suddenly realized, "An auction is one way to buy treasures that are beyond one's authority."
"That's right."
Manager Qiu nodded.
Ji Sheng continued:
"That's why we came to Uncle Qiu to exchange for credits. Based on the credits we accumulate, we can upgrade our level to participate in the auction."
"This black card is the highest level, a Level 7 auction ticket, which you need to accumulate one million credits to qualify for."
"Otherwise, some things we could sell to the Holy Land would be just as good, and the price wouldn't be much lower. Why bother exchanging them for credits here, especially with the risk of being scammed?"
Uncle Qiu feigned a change in expression, "Watch your mouth, kid. I've never cheated you."
"Haha~~ Uncle Qiu, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, I meant those unscrupulous merchants outside."
"That's what you think of me too, isn't it?" Manager Qiu said with a laugh and a scolding tone. "Every time I exchange low-level treasures for you, I lose money."
Upon hearing this, Gart immediately said, "Uncle Qiu, who would believe what you're saying? Even if it's a white-quality treasure, you'd still make a fortune selling it to a first-level civilization in a remote star system."
Manager Qiu didn't mind being exposed by Gart, and just laughed and said, "No way, I'm just earning a meager living. For the development of cosmic civilization, I sell things very cheaply. You can't slander me."
"Indeed, Uncle Qiu's reputation is reliable. He never exploits newly joined low-level civilizations in his transactions, which is why I trust him," Ji Sheng emphasized.
Manager Qiu's approval earned Ji Sheng a thumbs up. "I love hearing that."
Xiao Weiqing silently made a note of it, then looked at the black card in his hand and said:
"Is my black card on the same level as theirs? I haven't even redeemed 100,000 credits yet."
Manager Qiu explained, "Saying that you've accumulated a million credits is just a figure of speech. Even for geniuses like you, accumulating a million credits would take a very long time."
"We issue invitations based more on potential. If you have that potential, why not just give it to you directly?"
"And you don't think that 70,000 credits is a small amount, do you?"
Manager Qiu pointed at Ji Sheng and said, "You can ask them, even among the sixth-level members, who has 70,000 unused credits? After tonight, 90% of them won't have any; they've all used them to improve their own strength."
"Remember, in the Holy Land, strength is always the most important thing. If I had been able to enter the Sixth Heaven back then, I wouldn't be here talking to you about this little business."
"You are all geniuses with the potential to enter the Undying Realm, so improving your strength is the top priority."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly with Manager Qiu's statement. He believed that everything he had—the Blue Star civilization's entry into the fifth cosmic civilization and the preferential treatment he was receiving from Manager Qiu—was due to his strength.
Ji Sheng said, "So you didn't think much of my potential back then, and only gave me the black card on the third try?"
"Tell me yourself, when we first collaborated, you had only just entered the fifth level of the Heavenly Realm, right? Do I think I should have given you a black invitation card?"
Ji Sheng remained silent, unable to refute the statement, because what Manager Qiu said was true, and even he would feel the same way if he were in Qiu's shoes.
At this point, Gart said sullenly, "Don't even mention it. It took me five tries to get the black invitation card, and I only got it because of Ji Sheng's connections."
"Haha~~"
Manager Qiu laughed heartily.
Ji Sheng's lips curled up, but he didn't laugh out loud, saving face for Gart.
The group chatted for a while longer.
The auction is about to begin.
"Uncle Qiu, I'll be going now."
"Well, take care. I hope you all get the items you want tonight."
Thank you for your kind words.
The three left the office.
"Are you going to an auction?"
The female secretary, who had been waiting at the door, asked respectfully.
"Yes, Sister Yu."
"Come with me."
Ji Sheng asked in confusion, "Sister Yu, where are we going?"
They usually need to take the elevator to the 99th floor and then walk up to the 100th floor, where the Level 7 auction is held.
"Take the boss's elevator, and you can go straight to the 100th floor."
"Um?"
Ji Sheng raised an eyebrow and immediately fell into deep thought, then suddenly looked at Xiao Weiqing.
This wasn't his first time here, but he had never ridden the private elevator before, and as far as he knew, neither had any of the other members of the Six Heavens.
Why is today an exception?
The only possible reason is Xiao Weiqing.
Thinking back to just now in the office, when Manager Qiu gave Xiao Weiqing the black invitation card, was it really just because he saw potential in Xiao Weiqing?
How could he judge Xiao Weiqing's strength? You have to know that there are geniuses who enter the sixth level of heaven through the battle of ascension to heaven every year.
Xiao Weiqing is not an exception.
"What's up?"
Xiao Weiqing was somewhat puzzled by Ji Sheng's gaze.
"It's alright, let's go, the auction is about to start."
The three followed the female secretary to an ordinary-looking elevator.
The elevator seemed to have been waiting for some time.
"please!"
"Thanks."
The female secretary watched the elevator close and only went back after reaching the 100th floor.
"Knock knock~~"
"Come in."
"Manager, the three of them have already gone upstairs."
"Okay, I understand. You can go now."
The female secretary hesitated for a moment, then asked curiously, "Manager, why are you letting them take the private elevator to the auction this time? You never used to let Ji Sheng..."
Before he could finish speaking...
The female secretary was stopped by a single look from Manager Qiu.
Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.
"I...I understand, Manager." The female secretary turned pale and silently left the office.
After the female secretary left.
Manager Qiu then tapped a few times, and a virtual old man appeared in front of the table.
"Manager Qiu."
"Uncle Jiang, I told you to just call me by my name."
The old man did not speak.
Manager Qiu shook his head helplessly, then said, "Let Xiao Yu go to Ansexing tomorrow."
The old man was slightly taken aback, and it took him two seconds to realize that he simply couldn't connect Xiao Yu with Anse Star.
Xiao Yu has been Manager Qiu's secretary for over two hundred years.
But the old man didn't ask any more questions, he just lowered his head and said, "I understand."
The scene quieted down.
Neither of them spoke.
half an hour.
Manager Qiu sighed softly, "I'm implying to her that she can come back in two hundred years."
"understood."
The old man still only had three words to say.
"Okay, that's settled then."
