Chapter 208: #208 - Auction House

Quan and Huowu had arrived at the auction house in Sa'uth City.

In response to Huowu's question, Quan nodded with a smile and said, "That's right. What's wrong? Have you been here before?"

Huowu shook her head. "I've never been here before. My parents wouldn't let me come to auction houses."

She curiously looked at the inverted dome-shaped building. The auction house was slightly smaller than the Battle Arena in terms of volume.

However, the auction house didn't need to accommodate tens of thousands of spectators.

This shows that the financial strength of the auction house is not weaker than the Battle Arena.

Moreover, to enter, one must complete the auction qualification certification.

The minimum requirement is 10,000 gold spirit coins.

When Huowu was young, although she didn't lack pocket money, she didn't have that much savings either.

Otherwise, with Huowu's personality, she would have already gone in for a browse.

"Xiaoyi, do you have 10,000 gold spirit coins on you?"

Knowing Quan's financial situation, Huowu asked with some surprise.

Quan shook his head with a smile. His food, drink, accommodation, and transportation were all provided by others. In addition, Quan rarely went shopping, so he carried even less cash.

"However, doesn't the auction house have another rule?"

Huowu quickly said, "Are you talking about selling things?"

"That's right," Quan affirmed with a nod.

To enter the auction house and participate in the auction.

In addition to proof of qualification, one can also obtain the qualification to participate in the auction by appraising the items they want to sell.

The appraisers in the auction house will appraise the items and set a price.

Only if the appraised price of the item exceeds 1,000 gold spirit coins will one be eligible to enter the auction.

Today, Quan's main purpose in coming to the auction house was to sell something.

Quan took Huowu'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 entrance 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 Huowu, but she was about meters tall. Moreover, she had a beautiful appearance and a well-proportioned figure. Coupled with a close-fitting long dress, she showed off her graceful curves to the fullest.

This made Huowu's eyebrows twitch slightly, and a strong sense of vigilance arose in her heart. Her eyes quietly glanced at Quan.

However, when she saw that Quan's expression was normal and his eyes didn't scan around, she felt relieved.

Delighted, Huowu happily said, "We're here to sell something. Can you take us to get it appraised?"

After hearing this, the girl smiled slightly and said, "Of course, please follow me."

Quan and Huowu followed the girl into the auction house.

Although it's called an auction house, it felt more like a museum.

The interior decoration was simple and clear, with various exhibits placed everywhere.

After passing 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."

And, he hurriedly put down the item he was appraising and walked towards Quan's location.

Although the girl had also never seen such a peculiar object, she upheld her professional ethics and introduced diligently, "Appraiser No. 1, please appraise this item for these two distinguished guests."

The old appraiser, wearing a uniform black robe, ran quickly to Quan and asked cautiously, "May I touch it?"

Quan nodded faintly.

Only after receiving permission did the appraiser dare to bend down and take a closer look.

The girl beside Quan had never seen the appraiser so cautious.

In the next moment, she realized that the guests she had brought were likely of extraordinary origin.

After carefully examining it, Appraiser No. 1 trembled and carefully touched the bicycle's frame and seat.

The appraiser only touched it for a few seconds before hurriedly removing his hand from the bicycle.

He respectfully bowed to Quan and said, "I'm sorry, this item of yours is of great origin and cannot be appraised by us. However, please don't worry, please wait here for a moment, I will invite the appraiser who can appraise this item."

After speaking, the appraiser actually rushed out of the room. The old man with white hair could still run as fast as flying, his speed not inferior to that of a young man.

This made Quan's eyes widen.

Seeing this situation, Huowu also knew that the item Quan had taken out was no ordinary thing.

She turned her head and asked, "What exactly is this thing? It actually forced that appraiser to be so anxious."

Quan replied, "It's nothing, he probably recognized the material of this thing, so he ran away in a hurry."

"Material?"

Huowu looked closely again, and suddenly, she felt a familiar aura from the frame.

She quickly covered her mouth.

The words "Fire Spirit Sacred Beast" almost slipped out.

Before long, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

The first to step into the room was not Appraiser No. 1, but a gentle and refined middle-aged man.

And Appraiser No. 1 obediently followed behind the middle-aged man.

After the middle-aged man entered the room, all the staff in the room quickly stood up and respectfully bowed to him, saying, "Manager!"

The middle-aged man didn't even look at them, he directly strode to Quan and said respectfully, "Distinguished guests, my name is Zheng Xiao, I am the manager of the auction house. May I invite you to my office for a detailed discussion?"

Quan knew that there were too many people here, so he agreed to Zheng Xiao's request.

He raised his hand and waved, putting the bicycle back into 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 blocked out outsiders and began to appraise Quan's bicycle alone.

He first took a close look, then gently stroked it with his hand, and then stood up.

"Distinguished guest, if I'm not mistaken, the main material of this item is the bone of a Fire Spirit Sacred Beast, and judging from its age, it's at least about 50,000 years old."

Zheng Xiao deserves to be the person who can serve as the manager of the auction house, his eyesight is so sharp.

He could even see the approximate age, which greatly surprised Quan.

"Manager Zheng is right, the frame of this bicycle is indeed made of the bones of a 50,000-year-old Fire Spirit Sacred Beast."

"Bicycle? This object is named 'bicycle', could it be a tool for workers to ride?

But, relying only on two vertical wheels in the front and back, is it necessary to straddle the seat and use both legs to support forward movement?"
