“Dear Mr. Joey, please have a seat!”
The female goblin pointed to the sofa in the room and gestured for Joey to sit down.
Joey didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly. Just like Phil had done when he met Joey, the female goblin got up and went outside to bring in a cup of coffee.
"I have synced your information to the auction house, and you can now purchase everything you need!"
The female goblin held the iPad in front of Joey, tapped it a few times, and a purchase window popped up.
"Materials, weapons, enchantments, inscriptions, mounts..."
Furthermore, each item has other sub-options, which is quite similar to the Taobao platform in my previous life.
"Um, I need to buy a bow and arrow, preferably one with high lethality!"
Joey stated his request, and the female goblin tapped the iPad a few times, immediately displaying a row of pictures of bows and arrows.
"That bow and arrow at the very top of the row, the Sun Chaser Bow, is so cool!"
Joey spotted the first longbow in the row at a glance. Its golden bow and captivating curves were remarkably similar to the curves of a beautiful woman.
As Joey was congratulating himself on having made the right career choice, his gaze drifted toward the back of the Sunbow.
His face fell instantly when he saw the price section.
"How much? In gold? Is there a mistake in the price label? Did they add an extra zero?"
Joey swallowed hard and began to question the displayed price.
He thought a good bow could be bought for a few hundred gold coins at most, which was really too high a price. He estimated that it could be bought for a little over a thousand gold coins, but the four zeros that suddenly appeared really surprised him.
Although he considered himself a wealthy man, the gold-plated longbow made him realize the reality: he was just an ordinary person with a little money, and he was still very, very far from being a rich man.
"Uh...this..."
The female goblin was somewhat surprised that Joey would ask such a question. He was already an SVIP customer, but as an auction house employee, she really didn't know how much money he had deposited with Phil.
Perhaps thinking of the goblin's service principles, her slightly embarrassed expression vanished for a moment, replaced by her professional smile.
"Um, Mr. Joey, why don't you take a look at other options? Expensive doesn't necessarily mean the best; the best is what suits you best!"
Joey was already very familiar with this common sales pitch, which meant that he was poor and couldn't afford expensive things. However, considering that the female goblin was still giving him face, he thought it was quite nice.
"Then let's look at the others!"
Joey picked up the coffee in front of him and took a tactical sip.
This coffee is really bitter today!
How about this round?
"It looks quite ordinary!"
Joey glanced at the price—gold—and used it to save face.
"What about this one?"
"It looks alright, but I don't like green. Let's leave the green for someone else!"
"Then take a look at this one. Like the Sun Chaser Bow, it's also gold!"
"The color is alright, but the design is a bit lacking!"
Since he couldn't afford the most expensive one, Joey thought he'd just get any old one. Once he actually married Catherine, the Sunbow would be a piece of cake.
However, although his wishful thinking was good, the smile on the female goblin's face gradually faded. It can't be blamed on her. Anyone who had to deal with what Joey did today would have their temper worn down. It was already quite good that she hadn't lost her temper by now.
"That……"
"Well then, I still don't know how to address you?"
"Uh... my name is Anna!"
"Oh, Anna, here's what you do. Give me this, and I'll take a look at it myself. I'll tell you what I think it is!"
"Alright!"
After Anna the goblin finished speaking, she happily handed the iPad to Joey, letting him look at it at his own pace.
Joey took the iPad and skillfully selected the price from lowest to highest in the price section.
"Whoosh—"
A row of pale white arrows immediately appeared.
"Ten copper coins?"
Joey stared at the wooden short bow at the front, which looked somewhat similar to the bow that little Cupid played with.
However, these things didn't really catch Joey's eye. Although he couldn't afford the Sunbow, he wasn't interested in such children's toys either.
He re-examined the prices, and a longbow, entirely blue, came into view.
He tapped the photo, and Chang Gong's detailed information appeared.
Forged from meteorite iron, its overall color resembles deep blue seawater. The longbow has two shark-shaped ends and is named the Sea Shark Bow. The person who forged it is unknown.
The affordable price delighted Joey even more: 99 gold.
You can't go wrong with 99 gold; at least for now, it seems like a good deal.
"You're the one!"
Joey handed the iPad to Anna, who was about to leave.
"Have you made your choice?"
Anna thought Joey would struggle with the decision for a long time, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"I've made my choice!"
Anna took the iPad, glanced at it, and whispered, "Sea Shark Bow."
The smile on her face vanished instantly. After hesitating for a moment, she said cautiously to Joey, "Dear Mr. Joey, I suggest you choose a different one. This bow is probably not suitable for you!"
"Huh? There's such a saying?"
Joey was puzzled. After spending so much time choosing, he ended up with a defective product?
He looked at Anna with a puzzled expression, expecting her to give a reasonable explanation.
"Normally, we wouldn't say anything about what our customers have chosen, but since you are our SVIP customer, I'd like to kindly remind you that this Sea Shark Bow isn't very clean!"
