CHAPTER 142: CHAPTER 113: IMMORTAL BEAST RELIC MAP (2)

Although Qin Shaoshao has a generation gap with this era, he knows that money is precious in any era.

"..." Lin Chen felt embarrassed.

This method does save money indeed, even Lee Zhen had considered it.

But they were afraid Qin Shaoshao would become addicted to killing, and in that case, wouldn’t be able to suppress the "Negative Energy" inside him, turning into a killing god.

Isn’t this why the Celestial Spirit Body in history became famous?

So, Lin Chen quickly said, "It’s okay, Chairman Lee has money, no need to have a psychological burden, the descendants of this city all owe you."

Qin Shaoshao didn’t say much.

In these two days, Lin Chen also noticed that Qin Shaoshao has become more fond of reading books, such as the basics of Spirit Beast care, etc.

He guessed that Qin Shaoshao is probably not starting to like life again but is trying to make some changes.

The monthly auction is five days later, so Lin Chen stayed at home for five days, went nowhere, but went once to deliver barbecue ingredients to the barbecue shop, and was caught by Jiang Dadong who chatted a lot, mainly confirming the matter about the Cow King Competition he heard about, and whether it was Lin Chen.

Upon learning it was indeed Lin Chen, he got extremely excited, saying that he always thought Lin Chen was not ordinary.

On the fifth day, Lin Chen took Qin Shaoshao to the guild, at least to see if the contracted Spirit Beast suited their taste.

When Lee Zhen saw Lin Chen arrive, he stood up and said, "Let’s go."

Lin Chen looked around and asked, "Just us?"

"Who else?"

"Aren’t we going to be in danger?" Lin Chen said, "This auction isn’t safe, if we buy something good, we might get robbed shortly after leaving, it’s better to bring more people."

While Qin Shaoshao’s combat power is strong, if she can avoid fighting, it’s best not to let her.

Just afraid she will get addicted to killing.

"Are you having a persecution complex?" Lee Zhen said helplessly, "That auction is in the most prosperous area in the city center, those who can participate are all from big families of the city, you can run into them even while walking, who dares to make a move?"

"Uh..." Lin Chen felt embarrassed, thinking all those novels he read before were lies?

He thought for a moment, then asked, "Does the chairman have any enemies or people you don’t get along with in the city? Tell us in advance so we can prepare strategies and prevent being priced up."

"..."

Lee Zhen was speechless again and said, "Of course, there are people I don’t get along with, but if they dare to raise the price, just give it to them. Flying pigs are rare to find, and grass-running Spiritual System Spirit Beasts are abundant, just catch another in this city or go to another city to buy if it comes to that."

"Seems right." Lin Chen pondered, thinking those novel authors were indeed making things up.

Just attending an auction, where would all those dangers and schemes come from?

Then he suddenly remembered something and quietly said, "Wonder if we can get lucky..."

"Don’t think about it." Lee Zhen said, "Getting lucky surely happens, but in this small city, it’s basically impossible. The items for sale are just a few, and there are more Treasure Appraisers than auction items, they are professionals, and you think of getting lucky?"

"..." Lin Chen wiped the sweat off with a bitter smile, "Seems a bit reasonable."

...

The auction house is named Shifang Pavilion, a government-run auction house under Cangling Ancient Country, available in cities large and small across the country, and managed under the Beast Tamer Guild.

This is also one of the major income sources of the Beast Tamer Guild, as the transactions within generate taxes, with a tax rate of 11.2%.

Every year, thanks to the auction, the Beast Tamer Guild earns a lot of income.

So, Lin Chen’s previous worries were a bit unnecessary, robbery does happen but basically not in small cities unless you really bought something invaluable.

In a small city like Jiuxing City, throughout a year, 12 auctions don’t attract participation from major forces from other cities.

Lee Zhen took them outside the auction house and saw the person in charge of the auction, Shi Xing.

The other party seemed somewhat surprised to see Lee Zhen and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Chairman Lee, how come you have time to come over today?"

"Does Pavilion Master Shi not welcome?"

"How dare I?" Shi Xing chuckled bitterly and said, "I just told my servants two days ago that it must be our poor management that Chairman Lee doesn’t want to come to our auction."

"Pavilion Master Shi is joking, the reason I didn’t come before was simply that I was short on money."

After some polite exchanges, Shi Xing looked at Lin Chen and said, "This one should be the champion of the Cow King Competition."

Lin Chen cupped his hands.

Xiaobai was put into the Beast Taming Space, but Shi Xing still recognized it from the Little Fox on Lin Chen’s shoulder.

After Lee Zhen introduced him, Shi Xing smiled and said, "Indeed a talent."

Lin Chen cupped his hands again, just smiled and responded politely, didn’t say much.

Shi Xing looked at Qin Shaoshao, asked, "Who is she..."

Lin Chen just wanted to explain, but Lee Zhen said, "She’s Lin Chen’s distant cousin."

Lin Chen immediately smiled bitterly upon hearing this, wasn’t this the excuse he came up with before? Didn’t expect Lee Zhen to remember.

Qin Shaoshao kept silent the entire time, just stood aside.

Shi Xing didn’t ask much either, although Qin Shaoshao’s temperament and beauty were stunning, Shi Xing could see all kinds of beauties sitting in this kind of position.

"Do we need to verify our funds?" Lee Zhen changed the topic.

"Chairman Lee, are you admonishing me..." Shi Xing chuckled bitterly and quickly gestured, "Come, please come in, honored guests."

....

Shifang Pavilion isn’t large, and there aren’t many private rooms, but with Lee Zhen there, naturally, they were granted one.

As soon as Lee Zhen sat down, people started coming in one after another, a variety of forces, large and small, gathered.

Although some forces wouldn’t make moves if they didn’t have their desired items, they must still give Shifang Pavilion face, or they wouldn’t invite you in the future.
