Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 152 - 151: Seeing the World at the Auction House
It was the first time young Josh’s mind had been so directly impacted.
Wicked capitalists, she finally understood why Joyce said her captain was rich.
This was more than just a golden thigh?!
Yuze led the two of them out of the park, heading southeast, and then asked her, "What kind of gemstone do you want to buy? How big?"
Josh thought for a moment: "Is there any kind that’s in big chunks? Preferably just mined from the mountain."
She made a cylindrical shape the size of a thigh.
Yuze slammed on the brakes, Rob flew to the front seat, then was disdainfully tossed back by Josh.
Rob looked at her in shock, "Turns out you’re a hidden rich second generation too?"
Yuze raised an eyebrow, "What are you buying that for?"
Josh guiltily touched her nose and made up an excuse, "I just really like gemstones, really like them. The bigger, the better, uncarved, I just like them raw and unrefined. It makes me happy to store them in the warehouse."
Rob was dumbfounded, "Your hobby... is really extravagant."
Yuze thought for a moment, then laughed, "Alright, I know where to take you."
He changed the direction of the spaceship, and the group headed in another direction.
Burn City Auction House.
It was Josh’s first time leaving the Guild and seeing the outside world of Burn City.
Burn City seemed like a city built with white marble and Roman columns, the entire city emitting a holy glow.
The architecture here was diverse, with not only Gothic castle buildings but also various large, ultra-modern structures in the shape of leaves and strange cyberpunk buildings.
The group stopped in front of a Gothic castle building.
When the doormen saw the car coming, their expressions changed. Two hurried inside, while another two quickly approached to greet them.
"Young Master Yu." The two handsome young doormen quickly nodded and bowed in greeting.
Josh thought their gazes seemed a bit strange, not just the kind of gaze given to wealthy people.
Yu whispered something into a doorman’s ear, the doorman nodded, one ran inside quickly, while the other led them inside.
Yuze touched the control panel of the spaceship with the ring on his index finger, and instantly the entire spaceship transformed into a cluster of data and flew into his ring.
Josh: "0.0 Captain is amazing!
Rob nudged her, winking, "How is it? Getting to see the world following the captain, huh?"
Josh nodded in agreement.
The group entered the auction house.
Pushing the door open revealed a hallway resembling a European mansion’s design, with the floor gleaming with reflective tiles and a plush black carpet laid out.
On both sides were dark wood wall panels lit by candlelight, giving off a vintage feel.
A gentle and elegant fragrance lingered in the air.
At the end of the corridor, pushing open the gilded door handle, there was a massive venue inside.
They stepped onto the second-floor location; the venue descended like a tier, with a huge circular display stage below, surrounded by beautifully dressed young boys and girls looking like exquisite decorations embedded in the display stage’s side wall.
The audience seats surrounded the display stage, layering upward in a tiered fashion.
Nearby the display stage sat mostly people in lavish attire, whereas further back, people dressed more low-profile.
Yuze led Josh and Rob to the front row, finding three empty seats to sit down.
People nearby saw Yuze and couldn’t help but start whispering.
"Why is Young Master Yu here?"
"Maybe the Mysterious Guild is on holiday recently?"
"Such luck! Bumping into Young Master Yu!"
"Oh my! He’s so handsome!"
"Take a sneaky photo! Hehe!"
The girl sitting in the distance had just succeeded in sneaking a photo when a staff member quickly came over, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "I’m sorry, but could you please delete the photo you just took? All guests in the front row are honored guests of the auction and photography is prohibited."
The girl was reluctant to delete it, "I promise not to post it anywhere..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
The staff member smiled slightly, "If you don’t delete it, I assure you that not only will you be banned from entering the auction from today, but you also won’t be able to stay in Burn City."
Frightened by his gaze, the girl reluctantly deleted the photo and, under the staff member’s watchful eye, removed the leftover data from the trash bin.
Ensuring the photo couldn’t be recovered, the staff member retreated.
The girl wistfully glanced at the distinguished and elegant man in the distance, a touch of regret in her eyes.
A photo of him could at least sell for several hundred gold coins!
Josh hesitated, secretly tugged at Yuze’s sleeve.
Yuze turned his head, "What is it?"
Josh lowered her voice, "This place is probably expensive, right?"
Yuze, "If you want raw minerals, the mountain is the only source. It’s controlled by the Military District, and you need permission to mine, which is very complex. The only way to buy original stones from private hands is to come here."
Guessing what Josh was about to say, he curled his lips, "Don’t worry about bidding, I’ll reimburse you."
Josh’s expression turned serious at his words, "No, I want to buy it myself. I can’t always spend your money."
Yuze pointed to the braided rope on his head, "Consider it a thank you gift."
Josh felt even guiltier. The pink rose she exchanged on Pinduoduo didn’t cost much.
What she wanted to buy was a large original stone.
The theme of today’s auction just happened to be gemstones, mostly original stones on display.
Josh was stunned seeing a massive pink-blue original on the stage slowly rising up.
The color was so rich, the purity so high, so transparent, and such a large pink-blue gem!
How much Spiritual Power would that be worth!
She involuntarily swallowed.
The host descended from above, a woman with shoulder-length short hair and an enchanting appearance.
The woman wore a short halter black dress, her full, long and slender legs wrapped in black stockings, her delicate fair fingers holding a microphone, "Today’s auction theme is original stones. Is everyone ready to welcome a wave of new beauties?"
"Wuhu! Ready!"
"Shirley is as beautiful and captivating as ever today!"
"Shirley! Shirley! Shirley!"
Hearing the cheers below, Shirley’s red lips curved slightly, mischievously and slowly blinking, "There’s no Shirley in today’s auction items~ Let’s start with a little pink-blue gem appetizer first!"
Seeing Yuze and his group in the front row, she was initially taken aback, then nodded gracefully and respectfully to this side of the audience, raising the microphone to address everyone: "It seems today’s auction items are quite attractive. Without further ado, let’s start right away!"
The first item, a nearly 50 cm long pink-blue original stone, was displayed floating on stage, showcasing its density, weight, color, purity, and so forth.
The starting bid was 100,000, with increments allowed.
Josh was dumbfounded.
She knew nothing about the prices here.
A gemstone this large, with a starting bid of 100,000 silver coins.
She could only extract 10,000 points in a month, equivalent to 100,000 silver coins.
If she wanted to extract 20,000 points, exchange it into 200,000 silver coins, of which 100,000 silver coins would automatically flow into her parents’ account.
