The fragile lord was unwilling to be looked down upon like this, but she couldn't reveal her identity as a fragile little thing.
So she cursed these counterfeiters viciously in her heart!
hateful!
Putting aside the counterfeiters, the basics are always reliable. The low-pollution grain was actually two taels of silver for one coin, which was half the price in Chaos City. Many merchants came to buy it to resell in Chaos City, but the risks involved were quite high...
Bang~
A commotion arose in the market ahead, and a little boy stood in front of Qin Yiyi.
"Don't worry, it must be that someone broke the rules and was dealt with by the market guards."
The consequences of your actions in the wasteland depend on whether you can handle them; you'll either lose an arm or a leg, or you'll lose your life.
As you walk forward, you'll find densely packed stalls selling all sorts of things, with countless people haggling over prices; you might easily get ripped off if you're not careful.
Qin Yiyi quickened her pace to keep up with the little boy, and silently took out another silver coin.
"Here, this is a reward for your hard work in showing me the way!"
The lord remained aloof and disdainful of the crowd, but unlike the others, she acted gently and instead of throwing the silver coins on the ground and watching the little boy bend down to pick them up, she placed the silver coins in the boy's dirty hands.
At this point, the lord no longer cared that he was dirty.
The little boy clutched the silver coin tightly; this was the first person, a distinguished guest, to hand it to him.
He thanked him quietly and led the way with even more enthusiasm.
Qin Yiyi, wearing her little leather boots, stood behind her with her head held high, maintaining her disdainful expression. She would occasionally glance at the food stalls around her, all of which had pollution levels, just varying in degree.
There is no food with zero pollution increase.
However, this was a legitimate market; she hadn't yet looked at the black market.
Once inside the market, there were fewer stalls than outside, but the people in front of the stalls all looked like wealthy or noble people of a higher social class.
In that case, the goods at these stalls seem to be more reliable.
After all, the people they were dealing with were different. No one would dare to cheat a nobleman, otherwise they would be forced to wander the outskirts of the city for the rest of their lives, and no city would accept such a person.
Qin Yiyi glanced over discreetly and exclaimed, "Wow, there's quite a lot of stuff! Household appliances, commercial grain hulling and grinding machines, flour mills, and cotton quilt making machines—she wanted them all, but she followed the little boy into the shop inside."
Outside were street stalls, inside were shops. Hans Auction House and Black Rose Auction House were on the left and right sides, facing each other. However, Hans Auction House was obviously larger, and there were some burly men in front of the entrance.
In the eyes of others, it is a symbol of grandeur and unapproachability, attracting countless people to come because of its entrance.
In Qin Yiyi's eyes, it was...
What an ugly nouveau riche facade! What an ugly bunch of muscular men! That upside-down bat is probably the ugliest type in her territory, but here it's a display of strength.
Of course, the lord isn't all about looks. She'll make good use of strength too. For example, she arranged for the little bats in her territory to be nightclub security guards, and they're quite formidable with a flock of bird-like creatures!
Oh right! She used to think the bats in her territory were ugly, but now that she sees them, she really needs to go back and apologize. She shouldn't have said that about them because she saw some that were even uglier.
They're definitely not as strong as the little bats in their own territory!
Tsk tsk, she was full of contempt.
"Honored guest, please come this way."
Qin Yiyi followed the little boy inside.
Unlike the Hans Auction House across the street, which is filled with nouveau riche muscle men, the Black Rose Auction House exudes elegance and blends the beauty of East and West. The carved railings and intricate designs are surprisingly found within an auction house.
A man in his early thirties, wearing a tuxedo and gold-rimmed glasses, appeared in front of Qin Yiyi.
Even though Miss Yiyi had seen countless beauties, she couldn't help but be amazed by this face. Of course, if it weren't for the even more stunningly beautiful but silly tentacle monster beside her, she would definitely have been captivated by this face.
What's going on? This guy's looks are way better than the muscular guy over there! Who could resist looking at that face?
How can we allow Black Rose Auction House to have no sales figures?
She patted the tentacle monster.
"Stop eating! Don't think I don't know you're secretly eating!"
Mmm~
The tentacle monster quickly swallowed the food in its mouth and raised its head.
Qin Yiyi saw the tentacle monster's stunning beauty, which surpassed even the most beautiful creatures by a third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh grade. She took a deep breath and fell back into reality.
An excellent woman will never be put at a disadvantage because of a man's looks.
Look at that silly tentacle, still secretly wiping its mouth.
Is he handsome? Is he stunningly beautiful? He traded his intelligence for it.
The little boy looked at the man, paused for a moment, and then said respectfully, "I didn't know it was Lord Xichuan. I'm here to see Elder An. This distinguished guest has something to auction."
"Since you are a distinguished guest who has come to auction your items, please come this way. Xi Chuan is also a senior appraiser and can appraise them for you."
A man named Xichuan invited Qin Yiyi into the room. Qin Yiyi sat down, took out her spatial key, and waved her hand, revealing a table full of food with zero pollution amplification.
Nishikawa's mouth was bigger than a goose egg. He quickly went over and closed the door. The little boy next to him reacted very quickly and cleverly closed the doors and windows as well.
"This... these are the items you auctioned off?" Xi Chuan touched his chest, which was heaving, truly afraid of accidentally offending the distinguished guest in front of him.
Qin Yiyi tilted her head and looked around; there really wasn't a table to set up.
“No…” Xi Chuan felt a mix of disappointment and relief upon hearing this. Yes, who would put so much pollution-free food up for auction? This food…
"That's not all of them. You don't have enough table to fit them all. You should appraise these first, and bring them in batches!"
Qin Yiyi was a little unhappy. The appraisal room was so small. Actually, it wasn't that it was small, but the table was just not big enough.
She was unhappy and slapped Kraken, who was stealing food.
"Alright, these are the items we're going to appraise and auction. Stop eating!"
She threw ten seaweed rice rolls to Kraken.
"This is all the food you can eat today. You can't eat what's on the table!"
The little boy swallowed hard. If a 0% pollution-boosting food item costs 20 gold coins, then the guard next to him gets 200 gold coins a day.
He clutched his chest, unable to breathe.
Meanwhile, Nishikawa, the appraiser, used all his skills to steady his trembling hands and used a magnifying glass and professional appraisal tools to conduct the examination.
He took a deep breath and put on his mask.
Beep beep beep~
"Food with 0% contamination detected, Health +5".
Clang~
