In Soto City, Barak Kingdom, the air is filled with the smell of dust mixed with the sweat of pedestrians.
The city gate is bustling with people, the shouts of hawkers are coming and going, and the architectural style is rough, with an exotic style that is different from the exquisite and gorgeous Qibao Glazed Sect.
The "D" level auction house of the Qibao Glazed Sect has a small facade. The glazed tiles on the plaque have the two characters "Qibao" written on them, but they are a little faded. There are only a few people standing at the door.
The leader is a middle-aged man about forty years old, slightly chubby, wearing decent steward clothes. He is the manager of the auction house here, Li An.
He was followed by two or three young people, all of whom looked a little depressed.
"Uncle Li."
A younger subordinate couldn't help but speak, his voice was very low.
“What kind of person did the headquarters send this time?”
“Have our auction house really been completely abandoned?” , Either they are dawdling and waiting to die, or they are here to make a transition, and then use their connections to transfer them from here..."
"Shut up!"
Lee An frowned and scolded in a low voice.
"How can you speculate on the arrangements of the sect at will?"
"Stand up straight!"
"We are eating the food of the Qibao Glazed Sect, so we must guard the pot of the sect, and no matter who is sent from above, we must do our best to assist!"
The young man's neck shrank, and he quickly straightened his back.
After Li An finished speaking, his expression remained unchanged, but his heart was also filled with bitterness.
Why doesn’t he know the embarrassing situation he is in now?
D-level auction houses have few resources, a remote location, and almost no oil or water.
Most of the people sent down from above are disciples who have lost power in the sect or are not talented enough. They come here to basically provide for their old age or wait to be completely eliminated.
He has stayed here for almost twenty years, watching every owner come and go, and the situation of the auction house getting worse and worse.
I don’t know how long I can last this time.
Could it be that he is another piece of trash just waiting to die?
At this moment, a regular sound of horse hooves came from far to near.
A carriage that did not look luxurious, but had the Qibao Glazed Sect logo clearly printed on the side of the carriage, passed through the flow of people on the street and drove slowly towards it.
Lee An was refreshed.
"Here it comes!"
He shouted low and straightened his clothes.
The carriage stopped at the door of the auction house.
The car curtain opened, and a young man with a slightly thin figure stepped out of the car.
The young man has a handsome face, with a hint of youthfulness between his brows that has not completely faded away, but his eyes are unusually calm, his back is straight, and he has a unique bearing.
Li An was slightly startled.
This new owner...
It doesn’t look like he’s giving up on himself.
Moreover, he is indeed very handsome!
He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and bowed to salute.
"My subordinate, Li An, is the manager of the auction house here. I am here to greet the owner!"
Then, several young people behind him also saluted.
Ning Liu's eyes swept over Li An, and then at the listless subordinates behind him.
Is this his team for the future?
Although the number of people is small, Li An seems to be quite calm.
He didn't say much, just nodded.
Hmm.
Then, he walked directly towards the door of the auction house.
Li An and several others quickly followed.
The interior space of the auction house is not large, the light is a bit dim, there is a faint smell of dust in the air, and the buildings seen also look a bit old.
As soon as he stepped into the gate, Li An took two quick steps and came to the back of Ning Liu, bowing slightly.
"Owner, you've had a hard journey."
"My subordinates have prepared some wine in the backyard to help you with the wind and dust, so why not go ahead..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
Ning Liu's figure suddenly paused.
He seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, standing frozen in place, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Because, just now, a cold, emotionless mechanical voice sounded directly in the depths of his mind.
since youdie . 】
【Auction return system, officially activated. 】
【System loading...10%...50%...100%. 】
【The system is loaded. 】
Ningliu’s pupils shrank.
System?
What?
Hallucination?
【This system is the "Auction Return System", which has been successfully bound to the host Ningliu and to the Soto City Qibao Auction House. 】
【The core rules of the system are as follows:】
【1. Auction cycle: An auction can be held every three days, and the maximum number of items in a single auction is ten. 】
【2. Auction Return: After the auction item is successfully sold, the host will receive a random amount/item return of 1 to 10,000 times the transaction price of the auction item. 】
【3. Forced auction: At each auction, the system will randomly select an item that is strongly associated with a "specific person" and force it to be put on the auction block. 】
IV. Extra critical hits: If the buyer of the auction item experiences severe emotional fluctuations (such as anger, shame, pain, etc.) during the transaction process, the return multiplier will be randomly increased by critical hits. 】
5. Additional rewards: After each auction, the system will issue additional host rewards based on the overall performance of the auction (transaction volume, return multiples, special events, etc.). 】
A series of information poured into my mind, it was extremely clear and definitely not an auditory hallucination.
Ning Liu was in a daze.
Auction return?
Ten thousand times?
Compulsory auction?
Can mood swings be doubled?
This...
He stood there blankly, his brain running rapidly, trying to understand this sudden change.
Before he could fully digest it, the sound of the system sounded again.
【It is detected that the host is bound to the system for the first time, and a gift package for newbies is issued. 】
【Reward 1: The host’s soul power level increases by ten levels! 】
【Reward 2: One Soul Saint-level guardian (can be summoned by the host at any time). 】
The moment the words fell, a gentle energy appeared out of thin air in Ningli fluid, flowing rapidly through his limbs and bones, nourishing his meridians and martial soul.
He could clearly "see" that the Dantian in his body was instantly fuller, reaching an unprecedented saturation state!
Although the invisible barrier that prevented him from breaking through the Soul Master still existed, the total amount and quality of the soul power under the barrier had undergone earth-shaking changes!
This is a real improvement!
It’s not false!
Ning Liu felt the surging power in his body, and thought about the various incredible functions described in the system, as well as the seemingly desperate assessment tasks...
Soto City, D-level auction house, one million gold soul coins a month, was originally a mountain that weighed on his heart, almost suffocating him.
But now...
It seems that it is not so far away?
Soul power reward! And the Guardian of the Soul Saint! What else will there be after that? !
Perhaps you still have a chance to become a truly strong person? !
Suddenly, the reluctance that had been suppressed for several years, the bitterness of being abandoned by the sect, and the confusion about the future found an outlet to vent at this moment.
He couldn't hold it back any longer.
"Haha..."
The hearty laughter suddenly rang out in the slightly empty and silent auction house, echoing endlessly.
And Li An, who was standing behind him, and his subordinates all looked astonished.
Lee An opened his mouth, looked at the old furnishings around him, and then at the new owner who suddenly laughed loudly.
This new owner of the venue...
Could it be that he was too stimulated and his brain was a little abnormal?
