As soon as she heard that there was still an exhibition and she could go shopping, Youlan immediately became energetic. She quickly rubbed her chest against Gallo's arm and whispered in his ear:
"Anyway, the auction won't start until a while later. Let's go to the exhibition, okay?"
“Just strolling around, not buying anything!”
Gallo hesitated and looked at the other people around him.
As a result, the reactions of the other girls were similar, and they all looked enthusiastic, including Lilian Luo and Amiya.
Maybe this is some kind of instinct engraved into DNA?
"Uh... let's go shopping then..."
Gallo could only say helplessly.
The enthusiastic receptionist immediately transformed into a professional shopping guide and quickly led Gallo and others towards the nearby display cabinets.
Then a wicked smile appeared on Youlan's face, as if her plot had succeeded...
He said he was just strolling around and not buying anything, but after a while he started acting coquettishly, being cute, and flirting with the neighbor, and Gallo would probably still dig into his pocket in a daze.
She didn't want to take advantage of Gallo. She was not short of money, let alone jewelry. The important thing was that Gallo bought it for her, which had a completely different nature.
Should I choose a ring? Or a necklace? Or a hairpin? Or be more bold, an anklet?
It's best to choose something good-looking and cheap. Gallo's recent expenses are not small, so you can't increase the burden on him...
After buying it, I will find a way to let him bring it to me personally, and then guide him to pick the flower of my destiny...
In this way, we have exchanged tokens and completed the preliminary ceremony...
Youlan secretly made a small calculation in her heart, and a happy smile appeared on her face, as if she had foreseen the scene of her final victory.
And Miseran, who was only one person away from her, was also making silent calculations in his mind at this time.
Gallo promised to buy me a bracelet before...
Then should I buy something for him?
The book says that girls should be more generous and stop being stingy. When receiving gifts, they should return gifts in time, so that the relationship between the two can become closer...
But, what would be a better gift for Gallo?
He likes my furs very much. Why don't you give him one as well?
But there seems to be no fur for sale here?
Gallo also likes to stare at my legs, or...
Youlan and Miseran each have their own plans, and Undini, who is lagging behind, is no exception, and her heart is full of fantasies and extravagant hopes.
If I like something, will Gallo buy it for me?
But the things here are so expensive. If word gets out, people will misunderstand me and say I am a shameless bad woman...
forget it?
But I really want it. I haven’t bought new jewelry for a long time...
Undine thought glumly, and suddenly an idea flashed through her, and she came up with a brilliant idea:
correct!
I lied that I didn’t have any money with me and asked Gallo to buy it for me first, and I would return the money to him later...
In this way, even if he gave me jewelry, it didn’t cost him anything!
When the time comes, ask Gallo to help me bring it, and I can take the opportunity...
Bah, bah, bah! How could I have such shameless thoughts?
Ugh...I'm such a lustful bad woman...
The more she thought about it, the more shy she became. Her pretty face turned red and she looked charming.
It's a pity that I only dare to think, not to act, and I don't even dare to think too boldly...
As for Lilian Luo, she has no interest in jewelry, she just wants to watch the fun.
These human accessories are not in line with the aesthetics of dragons, and they are too small to carry...
And the remaining Amiya has no desires or desires.
However, everyone shopped for a while but never paid.
The jewelry displayed on the first floor is of average quality and not attractive enough.
The receptionist was also experienced and did not continue to take them to the jewelry exhibition area, but instead took them to the collection exhibition area next to it.
Most of the furnishings here were armors, paintings, sculptures, etc. The girls were not very interested, but Gallo showed great interest.
He has always felt that the relevant furnishings in his church are lacking and the overall look is a bit empty.
In the past, he didn't have the money or the heart to bother with these things. Now that he has both free time and money, he can think about it carefully.
So after wandering around for a while, he first bought a shiny decorative armor.
Then the receptionist enthusiastically sold him those decorative swords.
"Sword? No, no, it doesn't suit my style."
Gallo shook his head and said.
The receptionist knew that she had said something wrong and apologized quickly, while also reflecting on herself:
Although this rich man is dressed very tackily and is accompanied by many women, his face is very frail and quite handsome...
He probably wants to take the route of a gentle gentleman, right? The limit is to accept armor. How can I recommend weapons like swords?
Mistake, mistake...
But she didn't even think about how to save the embarrassment in front of her, but she heard Gallo continue to ask:
"Is there any decorative flail or bolas here?"
"ah?!"
The receptionist was dumbfounded and thought she had heard wrongly.
"Sorry, I didn't hear clearly..."
Gallo had no choice but to reiterate his needs.
Only then did the receptionist realize that she had overestimated this guy. It was not that he was not interested in weapons, nor did he want to take an elegant route. He just simply disliked the sword as too thin and ineffective...
She could only explain with an embarrassed look:
"Sorry sir, we don't have similar products ready..."
"No? What about the two-handed hammer, skull-crushing hammer, etc.?"
Gallo continued to ask.
Why can't you get along with Hammer?!
The receptionist cursed silently, shook her head, and apologized again and again.
Gallo looked disappointed and sighed:
"Hey, why don't you even have a hammer? How do you do business..."
I'll make a deal with you like a hammer!
The receptionist screamed in her heart, but she relied on her superb professionalism to maintain her expression and kept smiling.
In the end, Gallo could only lower his demands again and asked:
"If you don't have a hammer, you should have a two-handed axe, a two-handed heavy sword, etc., right?"
The receptionist thought she was going crazy...
Are you kidding me? You must be kidding me, right?
Our main auction here is jewelry, and the decorations of various armors and weapons are simply an addition and accompaniment!
You like weapons so much, why don’t you go to a weapons store?!
This guy has really wasted his wealth and skin for nothing...
I originally planned to leave him an address...
Unfortunately, Gallo couldn't hear her voice and continued shopping elsewhere.
In the end, he bought a lot of things in a mess. In addition to the suit of armor, he also bought several exquisite candlesticks, two twisted rockeries, several abstract wood carvings, and several carved paintings.
Gorgeous textured picture frame.
These things are simply in line with his own aesthetics, and he has not considered the matching effect when placed in the church.
It's not expensive anyway, a lot of things cost just over 100 gold in total, so the price/performance ratio is quite high.
The receptionist will arrange carriages and horses to send the things to the church, so there is no need for Gallo to worry.
As for the empty picture frames, he plans to hire a powerful painter to help him draw some beautiful pictures. The theme is to praise the goddess and the doctrine, and then use the pictures to record the current living conditions of the church, and then frame them and hang them up.
This matter cannot be done by ordinary painters, but by experts in the industry. The painting style should preferably be cute, childish, and good at drawing legs.
Before leaving the collection exhibition area, Gallo wandered to a book display cabinet and was attracted by an old yellowing book.
The book was very old, as if it would break if touched. The cover was still written in ancient common language, which was in sharp contrast with the various famous books of this world next to it.
You shouldn't be interested in these cultural things, right?
The receptionist was cursing in her heart, but she still introduced her enthusiastically:
"Sir, this book is an old book with a long history. It is written in ancient common language. It describes a poignant love story..."
"nonsense!"
Youlan on the side retorted unkindly:
"Isn't it written "Battlefield Record" on the cover? How could it be a romance novel?"
The receptionist immediately blushed and explained quickly:
"I'm sorry, Miss, I remembered it wrong..."
As a result, Jialuo helped Youlan answer:
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm a little interested in this book. How much does it cost?"
He is always interested in old books, especially those that record history.
Because although there are many old books in the underground library, they all record magical arts and have nothing to do with history.
Old books on this subject are hard to find outside...
The receptionist glanced at the small piece of paper in her hand and replied:
"This is a product that was deposited in our chamber of commerce by a collector of historical artifacts. It is said to be an authentic book from a long time ago, not a handwritten copy..."
"You only need to pay 500 gold to get this precious historical relic."
"A book, 500 gold?!"
After hearing this, Gallo couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Even with his current net worth, spending 500 gold to buy such an old book with no idea what it actually contains is too extravagant.
It's not just him, even the girls around him think the price is too exaggerated.
Even the waitress herself showed a wry smile and explained:
"This price was forcibly specified by the consignment collector, and he insisted on refusing to lower the price..."
"He said, 'History should be priceless'"
Gallo shook his head. He couldn't afford such an expensive book, and he still had to save the money he had to buy the purple diamond.
But Mitherland next to him suddenly took a step forward and said:
"I'll buy it."
After saying that, she took out a card from under her skirt and handed it to the receptionist.
The other party took the card, his expression suddenly became much more serious, and he said quickly:
"Dear guest, please wait a moment..."
After that, he trotted away.
Gallo wanted to stop her and stop Daidai's irrational behavior.
But Misseran stood in front of him, looked into his eyes, and said seriously:
"Since you like Gallo, I also like it, so I will buy it and give it to you."
Gallo's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, feeling touched and happy at the same time.
Sure enough, it’s best to just stay still!
Next to you, Youlan's expression condensed, realizing that she had made a mistake and allowed her opponent to seize the opportunity...
Really, I don’t lack these five hundred gold, why would I suddenly hesitate?
No...it was Bishop Miseran who acted too quickly...
What a cunning and difficult opponent!
As for Undine, her thoughts at this time were relatively similar.
Wow, Bishop Misserland is too rich and too smart...
How can I defeat such a powerful opponent?
Can't think of a way...
What can I do?
After a while, the receptionist came back and brought out a beautiful black wooden box. She took out the book from the display cabinet, put it into the wooden box, and handed it to Misseran along with the card.
Mitherland handed it over to Gallo.
The two then looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of the smell of dog food.
"The collector also left a letter, saying that if anyone bought the book, he would give this letter to the guest."
As the receptionist spoke, she took out another letter that was affixed with wax and presented it to Misseran with both hands.
The book was bought by Miseran, so of course the letter was given to her, not to Gallo.
Since Misseran took out the card, the receptionist's attitude has changed slightly, her tone has become a little weaker, and she no longer dares to look at Gallo secretly, let alone leave her address.
Even Gallo noticed this change and whispered in Mitherland's ear:
"That card seems very special, doesn't it?"
"That was a birthday gift from Uncle Artanis. It seems to be the VIP card of this chamber of commerce?"
Miseran replied softly.
From this point of view, the change in attitude of the receptionist is understandable.
Everyone then left the collection area and continued to hang out in the jewelry area, waiting for the auction to start.
This time, the receptionist took them directly to a relatively high-end area. The jewelry on display was much better than the previous ones. Although it was not as good as the items at the auction later, it was not much different.
According to the receptionist, these jewelry were originally auction grade, but this time the overall quality of the auction was extremely high, so this part was scrapped.
Youlan originally wanted to pick out a piece of jewelry here, but she noticed that these items were not cheap, usually costing one or two hundred gold each. She couldn't help but feel sorry for Gallo about the money. After thinking about it, she finally gave up.
Although she lost to Miseran temporarily, she still has many opportunities in the future.
Gallo got the book written entirely in ancient common language, so he always needs himself as a teacher and translator, right?
If you don't eat him up by then, you will really be sorry for the Witch Sect's careful teachings.
Instead, Gallo took the initiative and said:
"Miss Youlan, what do you think of this brooch?"
As he spoke, he pointed to a beautiful brooch inlaid with a large sapphire in the display case.
He didn't know whether Youlan liked her or not, but he liked her quite a bit.
Because the sapphires on it are very beautiful, just like dull eyes.
And Youlan didn't expect that Jialuo would be so proactive, so she didn't think too much and nodded in excitement:
"Yeah! It looks good! Pretty! I like it!"
