Cheng Jinyi himself never expected that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the auction would be so popular, and the price of all the items had increased by 20%. Since Dongfang Qingyu did not go to the auction, a VIP customer like him would receive a list of items sent over by the auction. As far as he was concerned, sitting inside and watching the people bidding, he might as well take a walk around Grass Market, and maybe even pick up a few useful things.
However, the facts proved that those who could set up stalls within the Grass Market were not stupid. Along the way, he did not see any good items. Occasionally, he would find some good items that were astonishingly expensive. It would be better to just buy them from the shop.
"Boss, how much is this rock?" In the end, Dongfang Qingyu stopped in front of a rock.
"Boss has good eyes, this is the only item that dropped after the death of a level 30 monster. Although it has not been appraised, just by looking at the divine light lingering around it, you would know that it is extraordinary, I originally planned not to sell it as my treasure," the trader quickly said after seeing Dongfang Qingyu's impatient eyes: "However, I saw that boss is fated to be here, so I decided to accept boss's 50,000 copper coins."
"5000 copper." Dongfang Qingyu completely ignored the hawker story. Such a story, he could tell a few stories at once, and it was filled with both beauty and fragrance. He stretched out his palm.
"You … This... "This is too cruel." The peddler stammered, "I've done business for a long time and I've seen quite a few people bargain, but I've never seen you do it like this."
If you don't sell it, you will still have a stone in your hand. At night, when you go back you will have to move it back, occupying a space, tomorrow you will have to move it back, but it is still just a stone, it has no value. Only by selling it will you be able to show your value. Dongfang Qingyu said.
"That makes sense, but I feel like I've lost." The peddler said.
"Actually, it depends on how you understand the situation. If I take 50,000 copper coins to buy this stone, after I appraise it, I will tell you that this stone is worth 100 thousand copper coins. Do you think you have made a loss or are you making a profit?" Dongfang Qingyu asked with a smile.
"This —" The peddler didn't know how to reply.
"Would you be glad if I spent 5000 copper coins to buy it and appraised it and found it to be a waste?" Dongfang Qingyu said confidently, "The items that have not been appraised are all bet, you are gambling, I am gambling too, if you win, you will earn, if you lose, you will lose out, until the result is out, what do you think?"
"You're not selling insurance, are you?" The peddler was stunned for a few seconds before replying.
"I'm not selling insurance, but I'm buying insurance." Dongfang Qingyu smiled.
"I can't argue with you. 5000 copper coins is 5000 copper coins, I'll sell it to you." The peddler had a dejected expression.
"Thank you." Dongfang Qingyu paid them and left with Stone.
"Dongfang Qingyu!" A familiar voice called out from behind him.
"It's you guys?!" Dongfang Qingyu turned his head and saw three players walking towards him. Situ Haoran, the blossoming moon is not round, looking up at the moon. It was the moon that stopped him.
"I didn't expect to meet you at Grass Market." Situ Haoran said to Dongfang Qingyu, but his gaze was fixated on the stone in his hand.
"I'm also very curious about meeting you guys here. The three of you didn't go to the auction, is it still not over yet?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"We've already bought the things we need. Boss said that he wanted to take a walk around Grass Market, so we came out." He looked up at the bright moon.
On the other hand, you, Cheng Jinyi would not be stingy about one ticket, right? He couldn't understand how many people would have the chance to enter such an auction.
"I can't afford to buy it even if I go in, so I might as well not go. I need to look for things at the Grass Market." Dongfang Qingyu explained.
"This is something you found, do you want to take a look?" Situ Haoran asked with a smile.
"I haven't had the time to take a look, I might as well ask Young Noble Situ to help me appraise it." Dongfang Qingyu was a little regretful that he did not put the thing inside the ring.
"Let's go somewhere else. There's too many people here." Took a good month to suggest.
"Sure." Situ Haoran pointed to the teahouse at the side: "My friend opened it, although it's not as good as a first class teahouse, but its taste is not much worse."
The four of them went to the teahouse. Situ Haoran had a high status, the friends who opened the teahouse fawned over him and personally brewed tea for him. In the end, it was only Situ Haoran who tactfully indicated that he had something to do, and he then left the private room.
"Ever since we parted last time, I've been wanting to ask Young Master Dongfang if I could handle this stone." Situ Haoran was a little reserved towards the owner of the teahouse, but towards Dongfang Qingyu, he maintained a rare level of equality.
"Please!" Dongfang Qingyu generously took out the stone.
Situ Haoran received the stone with both hands and observed it carefully. After five or six minutes, Flawless Moon could not help but ask: "This is a rock, what's the problem?"
"Nope." Situ Haoran raised his head.
"You're still looking at it for so long?" Good Moon rolled his eyes.
"No matter how much you see, it's all just a waste of time." Situ Haoran laughed, "But I can't help but want to take a few more glances at him." Looking at Dongfang Qingyu, "Can I appraise this stone?"
"This is Rock's honor." Dongfang Qingyu did not hesitate.
"Thank you!" Situ Haoran's expression became serious. Dongfang Qingyu's attitude showed that he trusted him, and he did not want to disappoint his, so he had to give it his all.
Situ Haoran's skill experience was not low, the Lucky Value also far exceeded the average person, but this rock was a bit strange, and after three consecutive attempts, it failed three times.
Situ Haoran's forehead was permeated with fine beads of sweat. Good Moon didn't want to help him wipe off his sweat, but when she saw his serious expression, she didn't dare to move recklessly.
The black light seeped into the stone, and after a momentary pause, a dazzling green light blossomed. It was only after a long time that the light returned to normal, gradually returning to its normal brightness.
A stone block with a length of 40 cm and a width of 18 cm appeared in front of everyone's eyes. What shocked them was the stone block's grade, a bronze grade.
A Bronze-grade stone block … This world was a little crazy.
Grindstone: Bronze item. After friction, the sharpness of the kitchen knife will increase by 10%.
Situ Haoran stared at the grindstone for a long time, then sighed, "Before appraising it, I actually had some thoughts about competing with it, but now I am convinced that your Identification Art is indeed above mine."
"It's just luck." Dongfang Qingyu did not explain too much.
"It's a bit embarrassing, but I still have to ask. Can you sell me the grindstone?" Situ Haoran was a chef. When he saw such a good grindstone, he naturally did not want to miss it.
"As long as Young Master Situ doesn't mind." Dongfang Qingyu had no objections, as long as it was something he did not need, he would always sell it. As for who he sold it to, it did not matter, as long as there was more money.
