The last five sets were sold for nine thousand gold coins, but not by the Eternal Duke, because Uncle An, that old geezer, said something provocative again.
"Don't worry, everyone! We still have three groups of ten left. It's not the last moment yet!"
Those below, who had been fighting with bloodlust, all stopped.
"Anyone want to team up and fight them head-on?"
"How so?"
"Five people, each person takes five thousand gold coins first, that's twenty-five thousand. Once we get the goods, we'll split into two groups!"
“This method is feasible! But the fifth group has already raised 9,000 gold, and it looks like it will increase. Ten groups may not be able to get it for 25,000 gold. How about this, we each contribute 7,000 gold to raise 35,000 gold. It's still financially difficult for everyone to contribute over 10,000 gold each, since we're not like those people in the private room who can contribute 20,000 or 30,000 gold without batting an eye!”
This is a subtle dig at the Eternal Duke. He had already put up 10,000 gold, and was even prepared to follow up with 9,000 gold. However, he was forced to save the money for the ten sets of content since he couldn't make money right now. Otherwise, he really wanted to take them all.
The Eternal Duke sighed in his private room.
"What a waste of such good stuff!"
The maid Afu refilled the Duke's tea, then said softly, "Duke, there's no need to worry. Your token has been passed on to the master. To express his gratitude, the master will hold another auction before winter. Miss Lilith means it will be held at the Black Rose Auction House in the Eternal City, which is your home turf."
What!
The Duke of Eternity's eyes lit up, and the disappointment of not being able to snag the goods vanished instantly.
Before winter, that means there will be another auction in the next month!
He would have more time to prepare if he received the news in advance. He glanced at Afu and said, "Tell your master that I have remembered this kindness!"
Afu was very well-behaved; her two rabbit ears twitched.
"The Black Rose Auction House is willing to maintain a friendly relationship with the Eternal City forever, and hopes that the Eternal Duke will not find it objectionable!"
The Eternal Duke laughed heartily: "How could that be? I think your Black Rose Auction House's space is too small. Auctioning the food of a culinary master in such a small venue would be an insult to the master! I'll go back and get you a bigger place! Don't worry, we can even lend you the central square of the Eternal City for your publicity!"
The Duke of Eternity was clearly very satisfied.
Afu, being quite clever, teased, "Your Grace is so generous, you're not afraid of others taking it from you!"
Within the Eternal City, there are many powerful noble families, not only those with special bloodlines like elves, but also other orc nobles. Furthermore, the four pillar cities of the empire frequently maintain various connections. Although there is a certain distance, the technological advancement of these four cities is so advanced that it could be described as futuristic.
If one side of the world is a wasteland, then the other side's empire's four pillars are a sci-fi future.
The establishment of the space station will allow them to quickly locate their position and travel to and from it without any pressure.
You could spend your morning watching the sea in Atlantis, have lunch at the rotating tower in Sky City, watch the gladiator matches in Titan City in the afternoon, and see the aurora borealis in the Eternal City in the evening.
This is the life of the elite.
"No, no, no, then I won't lend you the square!" After Afu said that, the Eternal Duke suddenly remembered that his city was well-connected and had many nobles, not only long-term residents but also those who came temporarily for fun.
If this gets out, it will probably spread wider and wider, and more and more people will try to grab it. This won't do, it absolutely won't do!
Afu smiled and left. This Eternal Duke was just as Miss Lilith had said: he had a fun personality, was kind, and was easy to talk to.
However, if it's like encountering the Duke of Titan, then you need to be extremely careful.
Otherwise, a single slap could send an ordinary orc flying.
The competition inside was fierce, and the price quickly soared to 20,000.
Apart from the Duke of Eternity, the nobles in the other boxes were also holding on tightly, refusing to let up at all.
In the end, the Eternal Duke only managed to take one of the three groups of ten, while the other two groups were taken by a combination of forces from other private rooms and the main hall.
The frenzy eventually subsided, and countless people wiped the sweat from their brows. Just now, everyone was raising prices recklessly, without any regard for the consequences.
Each of the three groups bid around 30,000 yuan.
At an auction, Qin Yiyi made a fortune of 100,000 gold coins.
Even though she didn't show it, she was overjoyed, especially since she was a little money-grubber.
With her feet propped up on a footstool, she was already fantasizing about money raining down from the sky.
Qin Yiyi was lecturing the tentacle monster next to her who was picking and choosing what to eat from the fruit platter.
"You know what? The most important thing for a person isn't physical strength, but intelligence! The great Lord Yiyi possesses an exceptionally clever mind, as well as cooking skills that others envy and are jealous of. These two things combined already make her far superior to everyone else!"
"You, this little tentacle, can you understand?"
The tentacle monster let out a burp. It had eaten thirty plates of fruit, each costing one gold coin. Actually, it was difficult for it to fill its stomach, but because the fruit was so watery, it had a bit of acid reflux.
but.....
"Another plate of watermelon, please!"
[You can still eat your hands!]
[They could fight for another three hundred rounds!]
[Hands love eating fruit! This is the place where they can eat to their heart's content!]
[Exactly! The Black Rose Auction House is much grander than the Black Rose Giant Wood Inn! The manager of the Giant Wood Inn turned a deep liver color after eating just a small fruit platter last time!]
[Exactly! I could see his face change color! He's so stingy; we only ate twenty or thirty plates of fruit from him!]
[Please, have you been eating 20-30 fruit platters at every meal these past few days? Think about it, you only eat 1-2 meals a day at a hotel. The hotel provides meals, but they didn't know you could eat so much!]
Lilith only earned 1% commission from Qin Yiyi, which is 1,000 gold. She also provided them with free hotel accommodations and free food. In the two days that the tentacle monster ate, there were two or three hundred fruit platters alone, each fruit platter costing 1 gold!
Qin Yiyi: "..."
Sure enough, bringing the tentacle monster out to do business was pretty good, except for being a little embarrassing sometimes. Take this matter for example, she didn't lose out at all. She only received a thousand yuan commission for his hard work in promoting it, and she almost got that thousand yuan back.
Knock knock~
A waiter at the door was pushing a food cart full of fruit platters when the tentacle monster stretched out its tentacles and snatched the cart away.
Qin Yiyi glanced at the tentacle monster with disdain.
Tsk tsk~
However, Qin Yiyi's face quickly darkened.
"Eat it! But don't spill watermelon juice on my Lolita shoes! You wretched, leggy octopus!"
!!
Someone has insulted fish!
