Chapter 226 (1/2)
Tang Lichuan knew how popular the shop was when he came to the location of Bailian square according to the map. There were almost thousands of people gathered at the door.
”What? It used to be free. Why do you suddenly charge money today?”
”It's OK to charge money. A person has to charge ten spirit stones! It's just the cost of entry. There's no discount for buying goods. Isn't it clear that it's cheating?”
”I paid a spirit stone when I went to the city. Now I have to pay for participating in the auction! What's the matter? They said they made such a bad decision to control the number of people at the auction. I don't participate in the auction. Why don't you let me in? The store is a big bully!”
Before he approached, he heard bursts of complaints. The group gathered at the door because of the entrance fee of ten spirit stones.
Ten spirit stones are only a drop in the bucket for Tang Lichuan, but they are a huge sum for the poor people who live frugally. This money can buy several weak cultivation pills.
The welcoming boys of Bailian workshop stood at the door, full of bitter smiles. It was the upper decision to collect money. They could only explain to the guests. They had no place to vent their grievances when they were white eyed and abused.
”Are the two guests going to participate in the auction? Ten spirit stones each.”
Seeing Tang Lichuan coming, the welcoming boy squeezed out a smile and said to Tang Lichuan again that he was about to be cursed with white eyes.
”Yes.”
Tang Lichuan readily took out twenty spirit stones and handed them to each other. After exchanging two number plates, he was welcomed in by the welcoming boy.
After admission, Tang Lichuan found that the inside of the hundred refining workshop was several times larger than what he saw from the outside, and there were many people who paid for admission, even more than those who stayed at the door because they were reluctant to give up money.
The four cities around Xuanlong city are the places where the core disciples of the clan are eligible to live. Except that the Tang family is occupied by non Wudao families, other families are powerful Wudao aristocratic families. Naturally, the rich and dignified people here account for the majority. The ten dollar spirit stone is just as painless for them.
”Didn't you say there was an auction of the chief master today? Just fool us with these things? The master!”
Walk out of a winding corridor and come to a spacious and bright hall, surrounded by crystal cabinets, which are full of all kinds of refining materials and some finished attack and defense appliances.
It's just that the quality of the goods here is really poor for the rich children. They feel ashamed to use them.
As a voice of discontent sounded, then someone complained: ”we came here in person to hear that there is a master's treasure auction. Who can see these items with your wealth? Don't waste time in circles. Take out the treasures quickly!”
”Please calm down. If you just want to participate in the auction, please move to the third floor and wait. This auction will definitely satisfy you, and your temporary waiting is also worth it.”
A steward came out and explained politely. At the same time, he sent a factotum to invite the distinguished guests to the auction hall on the third floor.
”Senior brother Niu?”
Tang Lichuan saw that the steward was Niu Dali. He thought he was dazzled. He rubbed his eyes before he dared to surprise and walked over and shouted.
The man just persuaded two complaining distinguished guests, wiped their sweat, looked back and said in the same surprise: ”brother Tang, you also come to the auction!”
”I'll just have a look. It's senior brother Niu. Why is he in charge of the hundred refining workshop? I didn't know before!”
He didn't recognize the wrong person. Tang Lichuan shook his head and smiled. He never knew Niu Dali had this identity.
”It's the blessing of brother Tang. Without you, I couldn't have joined the hundred refining workshop, and my family couldn't enter the four Dragon City to accept shelter.” Niu Dali took Tang Lichuan to an empty VIP room and said sincerely.
”I'm not joking, senior brother Niu.”
