Although Gu Xi had already learned some of the details from Hai Youling, it was her first time attending an auction, so she remained very cautious when entering the venue.
The moment the sea ghost opened the door, she thought she would appear at the entrance of the hall, but she had simply moved from one space to another.
As soon as she entered the new space, she heard the voice of the new Sea Ghost waiter.
Sea Ghost: "Welcome to the auction, but please remain in your room for your safety."
The change in location signifies a change in the work of the Sea Ghosts. Here, the Sea Ghost waiters primarily assist buyers in participating in the auction.
Gu Xi thanked it for the reminder. For safety's sake, although she couldn't go outside, looking out the window from inside shouldn't be a problem, right?
Gu Xi walked towards the window, expecting Hai Youling to stop her, but Hai Youling didn't, not even a glance of curiosity.
The auction wasn't scheduled to begin for several minutes, and although the hall was right outside, not a single deep-sea creature was moving about, which disappointed Gu Xi. She had originally hoped to see other deep-sea creatures and broaden her horizons, but she couldn't see anything.
Sea Ghost: "Is there anything you need, guest?"
Sea Ghost is very sensitive to the needs of its customers. When Gu Xi was somewhat disappointed, it immediately noticed and took the initiative to ask.
Gu Xi: "This is my first time at an auction. I don't think the bracelet and necklace you suggested I buy are really necessary." As she spoke, she deliberately showed the bracelet and necklace to the sea ghost, looking just like a buyer who had been cheated.
For SeaGhost, nothing could be questioned more than their business services, so it immediately explained: "You're overthinking it, esteemed customer. We're doing this to ensure the safety of your shopping..."
Then a loud "bang" came from the hall outside, abruptly interrupting Hai Youling's words.
Gu Xi didn't bother listening to its continued chattering anymore; she quickly ran to the window, leaned over, and looked outside.
Immediately afterwards, the Sea Ghost's announcement rang out in the hall.
[Urgent reminder! Urgent reminder! Attention all guests, please refrain from moving around. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the auction will be delayed by 30 minutes. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.]
The announcement was repeated three times, and coupled with the commotion in the hall, it was clear that the auction was postponed because of an unexpected incident in the hall.
Although the Sea Ghost had taken emergency measures, the situation in the hall clearly did not improve at all.
At this moment, two distinctly different deep-sea creatures were facing off in the hall.
Then the sea ghost waiter in her room floated over and said, "The one on the left is the manatee tribe, and the one on the right is the seahorse tribe. The two tribes don't get along well, and it just so happens that they bumped into each other at the auction today."
Gu Xi turned to look at Hai Youling. She hadn't expected Hai Youling to offer live commentary, so she subconsciously asked, "You're not charging for this commentary, are you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hai Youling pulled out a service price list and handed it to her. "Honored guest, this is our service price list."
At this moment, Gu Xi wanted to slap herself. She felt that she had said something terrible, and why she had to talk about money with Hai Youling.
Seeing that the two deep-sea creatures outside were about to fight, the Sea Ghost pressed on with its sales pitch, completely unlike its previous taciturn self.
Sea Ghost: "Honored guest, they are about to start fighting. You must make a quick decision."
Gu Xi gave the Sea Ghost a deep look before picking up the board to examine it. He found that the service list included, but was not limited to, assessing danger, providing on-site security, and avoiding hostile races. It also included combat commentary services, and these commentary services were priced according to the strength of the deep-sea creatures fighting – truly a case of one price for one service.
