Chapter 2217: High Clouds Auction (2)
After listening to the explanation of Pipi Ka, Shen Yanxiao had a general understanding of the High Clouds Auction House.
This was basically a luxury auction, and it specialized in auctioning things, the prices of which were beyond the reach of the average dwarf.
But…
Shen Yanxiao looked at Gege Lu, who looked very excited, and could not help but wonder.
Gege Lu could be said to be poor and close to selling himself into slavery. So why was he so interested in such an expensive and outrageous auction?
“At the beginning of every High Clouds Auction, as long as we are in the capital city, he will always go.” As if he had guessed Shen Yanxiao’s doubts, Pipi Ka told her carefully.
“But he never bought anything…”
Reason, one word— poor!
Shen Yanxiao nodded her head in understanding.
“Go! Why not go! I’m going to get ready then go together with everyone.” Sure enough, Gege Lu became extremely excited as soon as he heard the High Clouds Auction.
At Gege Lu’s call, many alchemists had no choice but to go with him to watch the hustle and bustle.
In fact, the alchemists in Storm Continent were not rich. It was because alchemists were so common among dwarves that it was difficult for alchemists to sell their products at high prices; moreover, alchemists spent a lot of money on their daily research. It was already pretty good to be able to make ends meet; there was basically little hope of making money.
In short, in this Storm Continent, the alchemist was a profession that was always struggling on the poverty line.
Even if Shen Yanxiao used her toes to think, she could tell that even if all the alchemists present here used all their wealth, it was estimated that it would still be difficult for them to buy any item at the High Clouds Auction House.
Even so…
They were still very excited!
“Momo Xiao, since you, little girl, are rich, if you see a good metal rod, you should buy it back.” While Gege Lu was being excited, he did not forget that the new member of their guild was also a suspected local tycoon.
The metal rod in Gege Lu’s mouth was an auxiliary thing for alchemists. It could increase the success rate of alchemy and stimulate the activity in a metal.
It was just that the price of a metal rod was as blinding as its name; of course, very few poor alchemists could afford one, if any could at all.
The Dwarf King would always give the presidents of the major Alchemist Guilds a metal rod on the day they became president, but the one in Gege Lu’s hands had long ago been secretly sold when the guild was in trouble.
Shen Yanxiao was silent. Gege Lu did not know that there were only five gold coins left on her. She had used all the money she had earned from selling potions in buying metal, and she had not made any extra money since then. Right now, she was also a poor fella.
“What is this? Momo Xiao, you’re rich? Ao! Please take care of me!” As soon as a group of alchemists heard that Little Xiao was rich enough to buy some metal rod, they immediately started to boil at once.
“You don’t know, but Momo Xiao is really great. Soon after she joined our guild, she sent more than a dozen wagons of metal to our guild.” Pipi Ka could be regarded as the dwarf that Shen Yanxiao was most familiar with in the guild. At this time, Pipi Ka immediately jumped out to sing praises for Shen Yanxiao’s once just deeds.
In a moment, the image of the new member Shen Yanxiao in the eyes of all the alchemists present immediately became extremely lofty.
She was so sincere, she had the spirit of loyalty and self-sacrifice!
And most important of all!
They couldn’t believe she was so rich!
The eyes of a group of alchemists, who had been poor all their lives, began to glow green as they looked at Shen Yanxiao.
