Now, Yu Xiaogang was splendidly dressed, and his walk had become arrogant. He even specifically brought Tang San a set of luxurious noble clothes, solely to show off in front of the other Shrek members.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang return, Flender was stunned. What kind of getup was this? He thought. How did Yu Xiaogang seem to have suddenly become rich? Flender was very confused. Half a month ago, Yu Xiaogang was still begging him for food, but now he had transformed like this. However, for the sake of face, Flender didn't ask.
Tang San was even more astonished after seeing Yu Xiaogang. He truly couldn't understand how, in just half a month, his teacher had transformed into a rich person. Especially the clothes his teacher brought him; Tang San simply couldn't put them down.
Early the next morning, Yu Xiaogang took Tang San and left Heaven Dou Royal Academy, heading straight for Heaven Dou City. The two first leisurely strolled around Heaven Dou City for a morning. Then, they finally had a lavish meal. They also found a luxurious foot massage parlor for a full foot bath and massage service. They rested for an entire afternoon. Especially the hidden benefits after the foot wash almost made Tang San overjoyed.
It wasn't until evening that they set off for the Heaven Dou Grand Auction House.
From a distance, Tang San saw the four young women he had met a few days ago. The four young women obviously didn't recognize that these two distinguished-looking people were the two beggars who had been asking for food two days prior.
Seeing the two walk straight towards them, one of the four young women stepped forward three paces, bowed slightly, and said, "Sirs, do you need any assistance?"
Having changed into new clothes, Tang San's confidence soared. "This is the Auction House, right? We want to participate in tonight's auction."
The young woman smiled and nodded. "Excuse me, sirs, may I ask if you have auction qualification certification?"
Hearing the young woman's question, Tang San was momentarily stunned. "Auction qualification certification? What is that?"
The young woman smiled slightly. "Only guests with auction qualification certification can enter the Auction House to bid. Qualification certification is divided into several different levels, with the entry threshold being ten thousand gold coins. That is to say, you need proof of assets of ten thousand gold coins to participate in the bidding. This is set to prevent malicious bidding, and we ask for your understanding."
Hearing the young woman's words, Yu Xiaogang, who was behind Tang San, slightly curled his lips, revealing a somewhat disdainful smile. Ten thousand gold coins? A joke! For him, it wasn't even worth mentioning. However, he didn't interrupt the young woman's words but waited quietly for her to finish.
"There is another situation as well; if you are selling items, you can also enter the Auction House," she continued. "But the items to be sold need to be appraised by our Heaven Dou Grand Auction House's specialized appraisers. If the value exceeds one thousand gold coins, then you are qualified to participate in the auction. If the auction is successful, we will deduct ten percent of the transaction price as a handling fee."
After speaking, the young woman still looked at Tang San and Yu Xiaogang with a smile. These two were dressed splendidly, so they must not be poor. But because she hadn't seen them before, she was confirming.
Just then, Yu Xiaogang, who was standing behind, stepped forward. Then he directly pulled out a luxurious Supreme Black Card.
Seeing this black card, the young woman's expression immediately changed to one of surprise. This kind of black card was unified across the continent, and its minimum recharge amount started at one hundred thousand gold coins.
"Then, sirs, please follow me."
Yu Xiaogang showed a slight smile. "Lead the way!"
Led by the young woman, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San entered the Heaven Dou Grand Auction House. Tang San was very curious about everything inside.
Inside the Auction House, there was no feeling of ostentatious splendor. The floor was milky white marble, and the surrounding walls were decorated with various bas-reliefs. The bas-reliefs had few colors, appearing simple, bright, and extremely elegant. Besides the bas-reliefs, there were also some display windows built into the walls. Inside were display items such as porcelain and armor.
The young woman leading the way was very professional. She would stop every ten steps or so, make a gesture of invitation, and accurately indicate the direction. Led by the young woman, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San finally got what they wished for. They entered the true core of the Heaven Dou Grand Auction House.
Upon reaching here, the guiding young woman stopped and returned the way she came. Another young woman received Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
The auction center was located on the second floor of the Auction House. There were eight staircases from the main hall leading up to it. Before entering the auction center, the reception young woman gave each of them a mask. She also told them that they would need to wear masks when participating in future auctions, which was for the safety of the clients. The young woman escorted the two all the way to the entrance of the auction center before turning to leave; there were other attendants in the auction center.
Compared to the previous reception young woman, the attire of the attendants here made Tang San blush slightly. They were also in white clothing, and still dresses, but the feeling they gave off was completely different.
All the attendants in the auction center were female, and their height was similar to that of the previous guiding young woman. However, their figures were more curvaceous. Their white dresses had deep V-necks. The short skirts barely covered seven inches below the waist, revealing smooth, radiant thighs. Coupled with white high heels, they were even more alluring. The deep cleavage and the rounded hips beneath the short skirts all invited reverie.
Tang San initially kept stealing glances from time to time. When he noticed that Yu Xiaogang was already staring without any concealment, he stopped pretending. His gaze roamed freely over her body. Both Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had not had contact with women for a very long time. When they were poor and begging for food, they naturally wouldn't think about such things. But now, no matter what, Yu Xiaogang had a lot of money. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel restless again.
Only after he had looked enough did Tang San turn his attention back to the auction center. The auction center felt more like a grand auditorium, similar in layout to the main Soul Arena in the Great Spirit Arena. In the center was a circular stage, surrounded by concentric circles of seats arranged radially. It was divided into five main sections.
The three rows of seats closest to the stage were red, radiating outwards. Then, in order, were black, purple, yellow, and white. Clearly, they were set up according to different levels of bidders.
The previous reception young woman had told them that the innermost red seats were accessed through a special passage and protected by dedicated security personnel. That was the so-called million-level VIP area, and only people with status could obtain red VIP qualifications.
The black seats in the next circle outwards were the ordinary million-level VIP area; anyone with money could enter. These belonged to the next level of black VIPs. Further out, the purple seats were for five-hundred-thousand-level purple VIPs. Yellow was for hundred-thousand-level ordinary VIPs. The outermost white seats, which were also the largest area, were for the most ordinary VIPs.
