Chapter 211: The Auction
“Oh, what brings the king of blacksmiths here? It’s truly an honor for our auction tonight!”
“Lanxi, don’t make fun of me. I came here today to buy something.”
“What on earth could make Lord Tegpus personally come to my small place?”
“Alien meteorite!” Tegpus said.
“Aiya, I thought it was something good, so it’s just this thing.”
“This is the fourth time this week that this alien meteorite has been put up for auction, but it will also be the last time!”
Tegpus looked at Lanxi and said to her, “I’m not joking with you. Actually, this time, I’m here to sell something as well.”
Lanxi looked at Mike with interest.
“Yes.”
“With your personality, I don’t believe that you would want to sell the equipment that you have personally made. Could it be the little brother beside you?”
Lanxi walked to Mike’s side and held his hand.
Mike felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his heart started to beat faster.
“Handsome, strong body, and tall as well? As for here…”
Mike suddenly shivered, a numbing feeling spread from his toes to his brain.
“His manly part is also very energetic, hahaha!”
“It would be a pity for such a high-quality little brother to go to the auction market. If he meets a rich woman, it would be fine, he would at least be able to protect his backdoor.”
“However, if he meets a perverted uncle… I’m afraid his backdoor would be destroyed.”
Lanxi held Mike’s hand and said to Tegpus, “Lord Tegpus, why don’t you just sell this little brother to me? I’ll give you a price that you can’t refuse. How about it?”
Tegpus looked at Mike with a smirk and clarified to Lanxi.
“I can’t decide for him. If you like, ask him yourself. However, you’ll definitely like what I’m selling today!”
Lanxi looked at Mike with disappointment, but she did not let go of his hand.
Mike also allowed Lanxi to hold his hand. He seemed to enjoy the feeling of being touched by such a beautiful woman.
Lanxi continued.
“What would make Lord Tegpus say something like that? You have to let me see it!”
Tegpus smiled and replied, “This thing of mine is a good treasure!”
As he said this, Tegpus took a mysterious item out from his backpack.
“So, I see that this little brother’s name is Mike. He’s really cute!”
Lanxi continued to speak to Mike.
Suddenly, Lanxi whispered into Mike’s ear, “Little brother, would you like to be eaten by me?”
How could Mike endure Lanxi’s teasing?
He staggered and almost fell down.
Mike considered himself in helplessness and admonished himself.
‘Look at your useless self! Sigh…’
Tegpus spoke to Lanxi again.
“Okay, okay, come and see my baby!”
Then, the fang of a Sub-Demon King Fierce Beast appeared in front of Lanxi.
Lanxi immediately lost interest in teasing Mike after seeing the fang of the Sub-Demon King Fierce Beast.
“This quality, this color, this is top quality. Where did you get such a good thing?”
Lanxi suddenly said.
“Lanxi, have you forgotten the rules here?”
Tegpus admonished her.
Lanxi smiled in embarrassment at hearing Tegpus’ reminder.
“I’m sorry, I was just too excited. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an item of this quality!”
Tegpus then said to Lanxi.
“This is the fang of a Sub-Demon King Fierce Beast! What price do you think is suitable?”
Lanxi suddenly raised her left hand and gestured for him to wait.
She took out a piece of paper and a pen and quickly made some calculations.
After a few seconds, Lanxi said, “After some calculations, how about…”
Mike held his breath and waited for Lanxi to reveal the figure.
“How about two billion?”
When Mike heard this number, he was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off.
Two billion! What kind of concept was that?
Tegpus merely replied.
“Lanxi girl, your price is not very generous! I’ll give you another chance. Please think carefully.”
When Lanxi heard Tegpus’ words, she picked up the pen and paper, and began to calculate again.
Finally, Lanxi spoke again.
“2.8 billion. That’s all that we have at Romon Auction now.”
When Mike heard the figure of 2.8 billion, his heart was once again shocked.
However, Tegpus still shook his head.
“Your price is still too low. For materials of this quality, we can’t negotiate without at least 3 billion!”
Lanxi smiled awkwardly and said, “Business has been slow recently. How about this? This material of yours can be the final item for tonight’s auction. Would that be okay with you?”
Tegpus thought for a moment and nodded at Mike.
Mike then said to Lanxi.
“Deal!”
Lanxi spoke again.
“But, once this thing is sold, our Romon Auction will take a 10% cut!”
“10%? How much would that be?”
Mike said in surprise.
Tegpus assured Mike.
“Mike, trust me. Even if it’s 10%, you won’t lose anything!”
Hearing Tegpus’ firm words, Mike had no choice but to agree.
“10%?” Tegpus asked Lanxi.
“I can allow you to take 10%, but you’ll have to agree to one condition.”
Lanxi said, “Please go ahead and state it.”
“You’ll have to open the warehouse of your unsold items and let us choose one to take away.”
“That won’t do, Lord Tegpus. It’s not like you don’t know that this is just a small business. We can’t afford to lose this kind of money.”
Hearing Lanxi’s words, Tegpus smiled and continued.
“How about this then? We each take a step back and you open the warehouse of your unsold items. Let us choose one to take away and give us a 100 million advance purchase quota. Do you think this will work?”
Lanxi picked up the pen and paper again and began to calculate.
Finally, she spoke.
“Deal. It’s settled then! I’ll take you to the VIP room of the auction now. The auction is about to begin!”
Mike and Tegpus followed Lanxi up to the third floor and came to a luxurious private room with a wide view.
After the two had sat down, Lanxi did not forget to tease Mike again before she left.
“Mike,” Lanxi whispered into Mike’s ear.
“If you want to come and play with me in the future, you’re welcome anytime. I promise I’ll let you have fun, the kind of fun that makes you want to die happy!”
After Lanxi said that, she kissed Mike on the cheek.
Mike felt his body tremble and felt as if his soul had left his body.
