"Of course, there are two levels of boxes, one is ordinary boxes and the other is VIP boxes, but the price of VIP boxes is three times that of ordinary boxes!" the female conductor explained patiently and politely.
"Xiao Chen, we can't afford the VIP tickets, don't be ridiculous!" Di Lin didn't know what Xiao Chen was going to do. Could it be that the conductor was pretty and wanted to attract attention in this way?
If that's the case, then I have to say it's really stupid.
If an auction could be held on a spiritual boat, how terrifying would the background be?
They still have to do business as normal, and if you tease their staff here, if you anger them, you don't know how they will die.
"Don't worry, I just like a quieter environment!" Xiao Chen said to the conductor, "Give me two tickets to the VIP box!"
"Sir, the price of the VIP box is 20,000 immortal stones!" The female conductor seemed to be reminding Xiao Chen.
"Two...twenty thousand fairy stones?" Di Lin opened his mouth in shock.
The civilian tickets they purchased for taking the spirit boat only cost one thousand immortal stones, and they could stay on the spirit boat for more than two months.
An auction will only last for two or three hours at most, and the fee will be 20,000 immortal stones. How big is the difference?
At this moment, Dilin deeply realized the six words "poverty limits imagination".
"Xiao Chen, stop making trouble, let's leave quickly!" Di Lin pulled Xiao Chen's sleeve.
However, Xiao Chen ignored him and asked the conductor with a normal expression: "I only have the best spiritual stones with me. Can I pay with the best spiritual stones?"
Spiritual stones are the currency used in the world of cultivation, while fairy stones are usually used in the immortal world.
Of course, there is an exchange rate conversion relationship between these, just like the denominations of earth's currencies are different, with denominations of ten yuan, fifty yuan, and one hundred yuan.
Generally speaking, one top-grade spiritual stone is equal to one hundred high-grade spiritual stones, which is equal to ten thousand medium-grade spiritual stones, which is equal to one million low-grade spiritual stones.
In the fairy world, fairy stones are also converted in this way.
In other words, one immortal stone is equivalent to one hundred top-quality spiritual stones.
"Sir, you can pay with top-grade spiritual stones, but twenty thousand fairy stones equals two million top-grade spiritual stones!" the female conductor reminded again.
"Yes!" Xiao Chen nodded calmly, then waved his hand and took out a storage bag, handed it to the female conductor and said, "There are two million top-quality spiritual stones here. I want a VIP ticket!"
In the hall, tickets are based on seats, one seat per person.
But if it is a private room, Xiao Chen and Di Lin must be in the same private room, so only one ticket is needed.
"ah!"
"ah!"
The same exclamation came from the mouths of the female conductor and Di Lin respectively. It seemed that Xiao Chen would take out two million top-quality spiritual stones without even blinking.
This is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
"Your work efficiency is too poor. Hurry up, the auction is about to begin!" Xiao Chen urged, knocking on the table.
The female conductor reacted and said hurriedly: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will count the number and handle it for you right away!"
The reason why she was so slow was because she always thought that Xiao Chen couldn't afford VIP tickets.
But since Xiao Chen can spend so much money, he is a distinguished guest. Of course, she cannot neglect him and must treat him with the highest service attitude.
Immortal cultivators have spiritual consciousness, and counting the numbers is of course much faster than the earth's money printing machine. You can know the exact number with just a few scans.
Soon, the female conductor finished counting and helped Xiao Chen complete the procedures.
"Sir, this is your VIP card, please keep it safe!"
"Well!" Xiao Chen took the VIP card, looked at the number on it, and said to Di Lin, "Let's go to the second floor!"
…
"Oh my god, Xiao Chen, how could you come up with so many top-quality spiritual stones at once? Do you have a mine at home?" Di Lin still didn't seem to have recovered from Xiao Chen's generous handwriting.
"What you said makes me a little nostalgic!" Xiao Chen remembered that "I have a mine at home" is a very popular Internet slang on Earth. I didn't expect to hear it from Di Lin today.
Of course, when Di Lin said there was a mine at home, he was referring to the top-quality spiritual stone mine.
Top-quality spiritual stones are very rare in the world of cultivation, but not commonly used in the fairy world. Few people can produce millions of top-quality spiritual stones at once.
But if Xiao Chen gave away all his wealth, he would probably scare Di Lin to death.
During the time when he was chasing Bu Yunyan into the unknown universe, Xiao Chen traveled almost all of the starry sky and accidentally discovered three top-quality spiritual veins.
Because there are no cultivators in the nearby starry sky, those three top-quality spiritual veins have not been mined for a long time and have been accumulated for countless years. The richness astonished even Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was not polite and directly took away all three top-grade spiritual veins, thinking that even if he couldn't use them, he could give them to Ye Yufei, Xiao Yingxue and others to practice.
But now that we are in the fairy world, it is difficult to get down, and we won’t see them for a while.
"Xiao Chen, since you are so rich, why do you still buy civilian tickets?" Di Lin asked.
"I bought the tickets temporarily when I was boarding the spirit boat, and the high-class and noble tickets are gone!" Xiao Chen said casually.
"So that's it!" Di Lin suddenly realized.
The two of them entered the private room and found that it was indeed very luxurious, with complete facilities, including spiritual fruits, fairy tea, fairy brew, etc.
"Although it is indeed luxurious, it probably doesn't cost 20,000 immortal stones. It's too expensive!" Di Lin thought it was not worth it.
Xiao Chen smiled lightly and said: "Actually, the VIP box is just a symbol of status. Many people don't want to enjoy it, but just want to save face!"
Those children of aristocratic families or heirs of great forces like to show off themselves in this way, and they are willing to spend any amount of money.
Of course, Xiao Chen is different from them. He really wants comfort and enjoyment. After all, the spirit stone doesn't mean much to him.
Soon, the auction officially began.
Just like a normal auction, the host came on stage and said a bunch of worthless opening remarks in order to stir up the atmosphere, but no matter how you listen to them, you will feel drowsy.
At least, that's what Xiao Chen thinks.
It wasn't until the auction officially started that Xiao Chen felt a little more energetic.
"The first auction item is an ancient sword. According to the expert of our auction, this sword is a medium-grade immortal weapon. The starting price is 10,000 immortal stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 500 immortal stones!"
Following the host's impassioned introduction, a sword contained in an exquisite rectangular box was carried out and displayed in front of everyone.
"Eleven thousand!" Someone seemed to like the knife very much and made a bid directly.
"Twelve thousand!" Someone immediately increased the price.
"thirteen thousands!"
"Fourteen thousand!"
…
After a final round of bidding, the price of the sword was settled, and it was sold to the first bidder for eighteen thousand immortal stones.
"Congratulations to this friend for buying the sword. A staff member will hand it over to you later. Please pay attention. Next, today's second auction item is a fairy-level herb 'Soul Pregnancy Grass'!"
