[Verification of the security deposit is now in progress.]

Gu Xi heard this sentence, but did not receive any verification notification. Just as she was wondering, suddenly, the light formed by the small cube gathered towards the top of her head.

Immediately afterwards, the light above her head shone on her like a spotlight, and about three seconds later, the voice from the void rang out again.

[Deposit verification passed.]

[We are about to proceed to Auction House No. 56. Please prepare accordingly.]

Although she didn't know how these little cubes detected the money on her, now was not the time to think about that. Gu Xi pulled herself together and focused her attention on the teleportation.

The Sea Ghost's teleportation method was similar to that of the game system. After a blinding white light, she opened her eyes and found herself in another special space.

In the space she was currently in, besides herself, there was only a sea ghost in front of her.

Gu Xi spared a sliver of attention, cautiously surveying the unfamiliar surroundings. The Sea Ghost, seemingly sensing her unease, politely greeted her, "This distinguished guest must be attending an auction for the first time. I am the Sea Ghost, responsible for reception. I will now guide you. Please present your invitation to me for verification."

Gu Xi nodded and calmly handed over her invitation. Then she saw a faint light shoot out from the Sea Ghost's eyes, scanning the invitation.

About half a minute later, the sea ghost stopped scanning, then turned around and went to the platform behind it to do something. When it turned back, it handed her a card.

Sea Ghost hadn't encountered such a distinguished guest in a long time. It was only its first time participating in an auction, yet it had already reached level 3 purchasing privileges.

When it scanned Gu Xi's invitation and saw her purchasing privileges, the Sea Ghost immediately realized that this was a wealthy customer, so its attitude became even more sincere.

Sea Ghost: "Dear esteemed guest, this is your Hisense Card. It is a special product designed specifically for storing currency. You can entrust your assets to it with complete peace of mind. With the Hisense Card, your asset information can be directly accessed when you participate in auctions, without having to verify your assets every time."

This Hisense card sounds like a money locker. Gu Xi took the card from Hai Youling, looked at it, and found that the number on it matched the one on the invitation. Then, she heard Hai Youling continue speaking.

"If you store gold coins in it in advance, you can simply swipe your card to complete the payment when you need to use it."

Gu Xi hadn't expected these deep-sea creatures to be so advanced, even having things like bank cards and card readers. But since this world possessed mental power, the security of personal property was much higher than in the previous world, so there was no need to worry about the misappropriation of assets.

Under the guidance of the Sea Ghost, Gu Xi quickly learned the basic usage of the Hisense Card, and then she deposited all the gold coins she had brought into it.

Having witnessed Gu Xi deposit the gold coins in their entirety, Hai Youling's opinion of this new customer rose significantly.

Such a wealthy customer must have considerable spending power. Therefore, this presents an opportunity for them to make a sales pitch.

The sea ghosts carry with them a trading board, on which they record the items they trade.

If you encounter sea ghosts at sea, their goods are varied, and what you find is purely a matter of luck. But the sea ghosts on duty here are different; the items on their boards are all the same, and there are no restrictions based on customer level.

The auction wasn't starting for another half hour, so Hai Youling let Gu Xi rest in this space. During this time, Hai Youling used a board to introduce the essential items for the auction to Gu Xi.

Sea Ghost: "This is your first time attending an auction, esteemed guest. There are some items that are essential for you."

As the sea ghost spoke, it took out its board and handed it to Gu Xi. Gu Xi was also curious about what they would sell, so she readily took the board and began to examine the "essential items" it mentioned.
