Not A Cultivator

The second item was not as good, it"s clearly intended to be sold towards the lower cla.s.s.

"The second item is a jade token. Made from Green Snow Rock, it is smooth but st.u.r.dy. It will bring you good luck and also a nice decoration for your home. The price is 30 silver taels and at least an increase of 2 silver taels in every bid."

Just from looking at it, anyone could guess this item was made by a rookie craftsman. Although they didn"t know anything about the craftsmanship, the name of the maker was not even mentioned. It can"t be great, no one wants it.

This situation was nothing out of the ordinary. It"s not rare that low-level items would not be sold well in such an extraordinary auction, what the people want was the items in the later stage.

"Did anyone want to bid on this item?"

"..."

From backstage, the manager sighed. They were not able to successfully sell this item and the next two items for the past few months. It looks like they will only become trash.

The auctioneer began counting, "Three seconds before the bid close..."

"Two..."

"O..."

Just before the auctioneer could finish, someone shouted.

"100 silver taels!"

What! 100 silver taels for that lousy jade token!?

n.o.body could believe it, who would make such a high bid for this jade token. The auctioneer happily said, "100 silver taels for Fake Feng Ao Xiu in seat number 294!"

Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number One happily jumps, "Hahaha... I can"t believe I found the legendary jade token made by Gang Xuan here!"

"Ah...", Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number One immediately realized he just made a big mistake and sat down in panic.

The other customers saw what"s going on. It is too suspicious! They don"t know who"s Gang Xuan, but he must be famous enough to make someone bet 100 silver taels on his jade token.

Did the Radiant Treasure Hall make a mistake somewhere? How could they give such a low price for such a precious jade token?

"110 silver taels!" shouts a man in the front seat. He actually did not need the jade token, but he"s testing the water. He wanted to see what Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number One would do before making a higher bid.

Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number One hurriedly said, "150 silver taels!"

His reaction confirms everything. Gang Xuan must be quite famous craftsman. The others couldn"t keep quiet anymore, they might miss a chance on getting their hands on a legendary jade token.

"170 silver taels!"

"180"

"200"

"230"

The bid continued for quite some time.

The auctioneer happily said, "Sold for 880 silver taels to the gentleman in seat number 43!"

Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number One whispered to the other Feng Ao Xiu, "How"s my skill? It"s almost thirty times the original price!"

"Wait! All of that is an act!"

"Gang Xuan must be a fake name as well. You are a really great scammer!"

"Hahaa... Of course. I did this once in a while. It"s quite fun seeing these people chasing after stupid things!"

"Not bad! Look at me next!" Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two said.

"The next item is a..."

"Ah! That is!" Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two suddenly shouted.

Because of his loud scream, he became the centre of the attention of the others. Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two acted fl.u.s.tered after being stared by so many people, "Oh... Umm... I"m sorry, never mind!"

The customers were confused. What"s wrong with this guy? First was the Fake Feng Ao Xiu besides him, and now him. To suddenly shouts like that, is something going on?

The auctioneer continued, "This item is a ceramic bowl. It is fragile, but its exquisite design is high-grade. By using this bowl, rice would not get cold easily. Recommended for use in the winter. The price is 40 silver taels with an increase of 2 silver taels in every bid."

As expected, no one wants it.

The manager sighed again, miracle won"t be happening two times in a row.

Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two did not bid, but he asked, "Excuse me, could you show us the underside of the bowl?"

It"s an ordinary request, a lady employee took the bowl and showed the underside to the customers. However, there was nothing special.

Although it was nothing, Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two acted surprised. It seems he saw something good, but he stays quiet.

The other customers become suspicious. Is that man acting? Why is he so surprised?

"No one wants to bid? Then, three seconds before the bid close..."

"Two..."

"40 silver taels." Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two calmly said.

The others become even more suspicious, he actually bid on it! And, that face, he acts like he doesn"t want, but he actually really wants it.

Then, Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two said something even more suspicious, "Haha... My bowl broke last night, luckily I find a replacement here..."

Anyone that heard his words could tell that it was only an excuse, there"s something else he"s hiding.

"42 silver taels!" someone said. This man was also testing the water.

"44", Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two replied.

"50"

"60", Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two frowned.

"70"

Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two cursed, "F*ck this! 100 silver taels!"

The auctioneer said, "100 silver taels to the Fake Feng Ao Xiu in seat number 295! Does anyone else wants to bid higher?"

Wants to bid higher? Yes, we want to bid higher! This man is bad at acting, do you think we"re fools!? There must be something valuable within this bowl!

"120 silver taels!"

"150"

"200"

"Sold for 1280 silver taels to the young man in seat number 112!"

Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two laughed, "Haha... Did you see that!? It"s past thirty times the base price!"

"I never thought you were this good and using such a high-level technique. I admit defeat", said Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number One.

The Real Feng Ao Xiu was shocked.

[These two men are really great scammer! You two must be so bored to scam other people in your free time!]

Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two said to him, "C"mon, It"s your turn!"

"My turn?"

"Yeah, we have to see who"s the best scammer!"

[I"m not a scammer!!!]
