Chapter 45 Auction House
"Hunter's license?" When Yuji Itadori heard these four words, he subconsciously said, "Do we still need to learn how to hunt?"
After speaking, the brain responds for two seconds.
"Oh! It's the hunter whose license can be used as a bus pass, right?"
Kuroro held his forehead with his hand and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, it's the hunter who can use public facilities for free with a license."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Not only us, Chrollo wants to take everyone in the brigade with him. It would be even better if we can get it together."
"Oh my god." Tsushima Shuji was about to wilt. "How can someone use an exam as a team building activity?"
Stretching out his slender fingers and poking Tsushima Shuji's forehead, Sawada Tsunayoshi said speechlessly: "Who told you it was a team building?"
Tsushima Shuji hummed twice and said, "It's all the same."
Kuroko Tetsuya raised his hand: "No objection."
"Tetsuya..." Tsushima Shuji turned his head, "Wouldn't it seem like I'm the only one who's dissatisfied with the captain's decision?"
Kuroko Tetsuya picked up Tsushima Shuji's right hand, helped him raise it high, and then imitated Tsushima Shuji's voice and said, "No objection."
Tsushima Shuji: “…”
Kuroro: "The Hunter Exam is held on January 7th every year. I'm not sure if there will be a written exam, but according to past practice, there should be more other types of exams, such as those testing emergency response and survival skills."
"I'll add a few more courses for everyone in the next few days, and try to get them through. It doesn't matter if you can't get the license. Generally speaking, we don't need it anyway." Sawada Tsunayoshi added the matter to the schedule.
"If we take the hunter exam, what type of professional hunter will we be? Idol hunter?" Yuji Itadori was curious.
The Hunter Association does not have a rigid division of what hunters should do. As long as you get a hunter license, you are a professional hunter. Typical examples include gourmet hunters and fantasy beast hunters.
"But no matter what kind of hunter they are, the common characteristic is that they pursue precious and hard-to-get items. If they are called idol hunters, then they want to capture the hearts of fans, right?" Shuji Tsushima touched his chin.
Kuroko Tetsuya was about to say something, but stopped himself. Finally, he couldn't help but comment: "How greasy, Zhijun."
Kuroro said happily: "Who knows, if a new direction is opened up among hunters, we can be considered the ancestors. Anyway, the Hunter Association will not restrict the development of hunters, and will not care even if the hunter license is sold."
"However, we have to wait until we actually get a hunter's license before we can implement it."
"Before that, we have other things to do. Your watches have their own schedules." Sawada Tsunayoshi called up his own watch and enlarged the virtual screen.
"The busiest thing is probably this handshake event. It's okay for one world, but we have to prepare for handshake events in several worlds, and we need to run back and forth." Sawada Tsunayoshi pinched the bridge of his nose, "This is still the result of Fu Fu's restrictions. If all world consciousnesses are to participate, the skin on our hands will be thin after we finish all the handshake events."
The world consciousness is usually in a state of boredom, but now they finally have something to do and can get together to play. Of course they are extremely enthusiastic and have already lined up their turns for the next handshake meeting.
"The disadvantages of synchronizing data from too many worlds." Shuji Tsushima slumped over the desk in the system space.
"It's not that bad actually." Sawada Tsunayoshi consoled, "We are all sitting down, but fans have to stand in line, which is even more tiring."
"That makes sense." Tsushima Shuji pricked up his teeth, "There's nothing else to do in this world except this play, right?"
Kuroko Tetsuya reminded: "I remember we still have to stage a play ourselves."
"Yes, we also have to rehearse a nonsensical short drama, very short, and the theme is falling into the Mother Drowning Spring after an adventure. But there's no rush for this." said Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Kuroro took the opportunity to say, "How about going to the Youkexin Auction House tomorrow night? There might be some interesting items for sale."
Everyone agreed.
Now that you are here, you can’t just work, you have to have fun too.
They had no shortage of nuns, so they took a private airship directly to Youke Xin.
Youkexin is a prosperous city with tall buildings and bright lights even at night.
They had fun for most of the day and were lucky enough to find a delicious restaurant. As a member of the Gan party, Kuroro had a super delicious caramel pudding that he would never forget in his life.
In fact, the almond tofu in this restaurant is also delicious, but he still prefers pudding.
"The boss can totally open a dessert branch." Kuroko Tetsuya happily took a big sip of the vanilla milkshake.
There were no milkshakes in the store originally, and when Kuroko Tetsuya expressed his regret, the boss heard it. The boss, who never gave up, went back to the kitchen and made a cup for Kuroko Tetsuya.
"Hamburger meat is delicious too." Sawada Tsunayoshi's cheeks puffed up, and he glanced at Tsushima Shuji who was drinking crab meat porridge and said with a smile: "If we stay here for two more days, we might gain a few pounds."
Tsushima Shuji looked up: "Damn it, you want to tie up the boss and take him back."
Yuji Itadori doesn't have a particular preference for food. He likes every dish he orders and eats until he's full. "I support it both mentally and physically."
When we went to the auction house in the evening, a group of guys with full bellies were still thinking about it.
Kuroro sighed: "What a pity, that boss is a gourmet hunter and has no shortage of money."
"Sigh..." The other four people looked disappointed.
The auction items of Youkexin Auction House are diverse, ranging from various incomprehensible artworks to some strange weapons. There is nothing they don't have, only things you can't imagine.
After listening to the waiter's introduction, Tsushima Shuji waved his hand and asked people to leave.
Looking at the people standing outside, Kuroko Tetsuya said: "What a boast! Is this the strength of a big auction house?"
If I didn't have the ability, I wouldn't dare to brag so much. I can only say that the auction items of Youkexin Auction House are indeed of better quality and more abundant in quantity than those of its peers.
Yuji Itadori: "If I ask them for the sword Ame Murasaki, they will definitely not give it to me." There's no way, people in the other world will just have bugs.
Sawada Tsunayoshi laughed and said, "Let him go."
Before the auction started, a list of what items were on sale had been sent to the guests, but they were just thinking about it on a whim, and the tickets they had bought were from other people, so they didn't know what items were being auctioned.
Fortunately, there was a list of auction items in the box, and Tsushima Shuji took it and looked through it when he came in. From the lack of interest on his face, it was clear that nothing caught his eye.
Kuroro saw something that he liked, "That purple gem is pretty good. It can be used to make a headpiece."
This performance was very successful, but it also put pressure on everyone in the Phantom Troupe, so now we are practicing hard for the next performance.
Kuroro, the real leader, was embarrassed. The members were all working hard in training, so how could the leader go out to play? However, he was still pushed out by Sarasa and her group. Kuroro was also very busy during the preparations, so it was a good time to take a break and spend some time with the other group of teammates to bond.
Everyone in the caravan asked Kuroro to just bring them something back, and Kuroro thought about buying something suitable at the auction to bring back.
Gemstones are a gift that is hard to go wrong with.
"But they would probably prefer weapons and the like." Kuroro was a little conflicted.
Kuroko Tetsuya leaned over and pointed, "Here, there's meteorite iron found in a valley. It's said to be suitable for making weapons."
“This one is OK.”
"Is there nothing Tsunayoshi likes?" Tsushima Shuji stretched out his arm and poked Sawada Tsunayoshi who was sitting on the single sofa.
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Me? Well, I'm quite interested in the fifth auction item."
Tsushima Shuji quickly recalled: "A fragmentary sheet of music?"
"Well, it's said to be the work of the famous music master Leila Yune. When she died, there was a fire in her house and almost all the music that was salvaged was burned. The one being auctioned today has not been published yet. Those who would buy this music are probably her fans."
Tsushima Shuji: "Then buy it. The system will surely find a way to make up for it."
"That's true."
"Aren't you curious about the finale of the auction?" Yuji Itadori shook the list of auction items. The last page was pitch black, without even a silhouette.
Kuroro had collected some information before coming here. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It is said that it is a person."
Youkexin Auction House is not a serious place. It is different from the auction houses on the surface in the peaceful world. It can even be said to be synonymous with blood. Just like what the messenger introduced at the beginning, everything is sold here, antiques, arms, medicines, and even slaves. If you can afford the money, it can find it for you.
The final auction item is definitely not an ordinary person. There are some magical races in this world. Once they are caught by someone with ulterior motives and put in the auction, the best fate is to be bought and raised as a pet, or directly made into specimens for collection. The worse fate is to be abused and then disassembled and placed in different formalin jars for viewing.
It is called an auction house, but in fact it is a black market.
The others were not shocked. After all, they had been to many worlds. If they were to talk about cruel worldviews, wasn't the world occupied by the gods cruel? Besides, they had seen people's necks torn apart by ghosts.
The world of Kuroro itself has distorted rules. They have been here many times since they were young, and they can see it clearly at Meteor Street.
Sawada Tsunayoshi closed the auction list and sighed, "Then buy it. It must be very special to be the first one to appear on the stage. Maybe it can be used for something in the company when the time comes."
No one had any objection.
There is no shortage of nuns anyway.
The auction has begun.
"Dear ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Youkexin auction." The high heels made a steady sound on the smooth ground.
The auctioneer standing in the center of the auction table had a gentle smile on his face. His sharp eyes swept across the packed hall. He raised his eyelids slightly and checked the information of each box in his mind.
"I'm Nika, the auctioneer of this auction. It's my honor to host this auction." The auctioneer bowed slightly, her slim dress outlining her tall and slender figure. She was respectful enough without appearing humble.
"I believe that the distinguished guests present are all familiar with the rules of the auction. It is simple, the highest bidder wins. Whoever controls the money controls the power here."
"Now, I declare this auction officially open."
As the auctioneer's voice fell, the grandfather clock in the corner of the hall chimed exactly the hour.
The VIPs' eyes turned to the first auction item that was brought out.
