Douluo: The Unrivaled Evil Nightmare Devil

Chapter 64: Black Dress for a Long Time, Princess Auctioneer (First Order Request!)

Considering that it was getting dark, Ye Qing was too lazy to continue wandering outside and went straight to stay at the Xinghuang Hotel, which belonged to the royal family of the Xingluo Empire.

If you want to learn about the royal family's industry, what better place to go than another one of the royal family's industries?
So that night, Ye Qing asked the hotel waiter for the general information about the Starlight Auction House. After all, this information was public, and anyone who stayed in Xingluo City long enough would know it.

What's more, this is the Xinghuang Hotel. The guests who can stay here are either rich or noble. There are often out-of-town guests asking about the auction house. Being familiar with the information of the auction house is basically a compulsory course for the staff of the Xinghuang Hotel.

The first is the auction standards of the Starlight Auction House.

The first is the top auction, which is the one where the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone and Snow Emperor Embryo were auctioned in the original novel. This level of auction is also called a red-level auction, and it is the highest-level auction in the Starlight Auction House. The auction items can reach top standards, and the lowest transaction price can reach seven figures.

However, auctions of this level are rarely held even by the Starlight Auction House. After all, there are limited treasures, and auctions are basically only held once every one or two years.

The next level is the black-level auction. Although the specifications are not as good as the red-level auction, the treasures at the auction are still precious, and even soul bones often appear. In other words, there will be a soul bone guaranteed to appear at a black-level auction.

After all, it is a top-level auction, so the main items have to be some good ones to attract attention. Black-level auctions are usually held every three to six months.

The next level is the purple-level auction, which is the same specification as the one where the Soul-Devouring Knife appeared in the original novel. The items that appear in the auction are basically low- and medium-level soul guides and some medicines or materials that are not very precious. Of course, for individual soul masters, an auction of this level is already large enough. This level of auction is held about once a month.

Finally, there is the yellow-level auction held every day. There is nothing much to say about this. It is a channel for Starlight Auction House to clear its inventory, but in fact, the yellow-level auction is the most profitable channel for Starlight Auction House.

No matter which world, the grassroots are the majority.

Ye Qing was very lucky, or he came at a good time. During this period of time, both Shrek Academy and other academies were on holiday, and many students were on vacation from their respective academies.

Therefore, during this period of time, the flow of people in major cities has increased. After all, the students who have been stuck in the academy for almost a year, the first thing they do when they return home is to go out and play with their family members.

Therefore, the Starlight Auction House will also hold two large-scale auctions during this period of time, a purple-level auction two days later and a black-level auction seven days later.

What they need to pray for now is that the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife that Ye Qing wants will appear at these two auctions.

The items at an auction are generally kept confidential, and only certain powerful forces can obtain the list of items before the auction begins.

Ye Qing came here only on his own behalf this time. Without the identity of Moon's disciple, he would definitely not be able to get the list of auction items.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s only a week. Even if he gets nothing this time, Ye Qing still has twenty days to hunt souls, which is basically enough.

In this way, Ye Qing stayed in the Xinghuang Hotel. He ate and strolled around Xingluo City during the day, and returned to the Xinghuang Hotel to practice at night.

Ye Qing is not a robot. When he was studying at Shrek, he basically didn't give himself much leisure time. Now that he has come to Xingluo City, it won't hurt to relax a little and experience the local customs and culture.

Two days passed quickly.

On the third night, Ye Qing walked into the gate of the Starlight Auction House. After verifying that he had sufficient assets, he successfully obtained the qualification to participate in the purple-level auction.

But what disappointed Ye Qing was that the Soul Devouring Carving Knife did not appear at this purple-level auction. Perhaps because it had not been sold enough times, the Starlight Auction House still believed that this Soul Devouring Carving Knife, which was ranked 99th on the list of carving knives, could bring them more benefits, so it was not put on the purple-level auction.

Ye Qing can only pin his hopes on the black-level auction in a few days.

After the purple-level auction ended, Ye Qing left the auction venue and returned to the Xinghuang Hotel to wait for the black-level auction to begin.

And the other side.

Xu Jiujiu, who has little experience and whose professional ability is not as high as it will be in a few years, is only a black-level auctioneer now, and this black-level auction happens to be hosted by her.

Xu Jiujiu, wearing the long skirt and uniform of the black-level auctioneer of the Starlight Auction House, was in the backstage of the auction house, counting the items that would be auctioned in a few days.

Compared to the slightly revealing long skirts of other auctioneers, Xu Jiujiu's uniform was obviously different. Her long skirt was not slit, but directly covered her calves, revealing only her white ankles, and her jade feet were wearing black rhinestone high heels.

The same was true for her upper body. Only her collarbone could be vaguely seen through the conservative long skirt. Her pair of white arms were also covered by the black gauze sleeves, and only at her wrists did her fair and slender hands appear.

But even such an extremely conservative long dress cannot conceal her radiance.

Sometimes, the same dress looks completely different on different people.

Xu Jiujiu is very happy now.

Being an auctioneer was one of Xu Jiujiu's few hobbies, but she was still young before and Xu Jiawei didn't want her, a princess, to show up in public, so she had relatively little experience.

Rationality is rationality. After all, she is just a girl. Young girls are always so persistent in the things they like.

Initially, she just followed Xu Jiawei to an auction and saw that the auctioneer's few words could make the guests at the auction bid frantically, which aroused her interest in the profession of auctioneer.

She imagined what it would be like if she could be that "powerful" and make others spend money like crazy with just a few words. It must be very fun.

If she had been allowed to satisfy her desire to be an auctioneer back then, she probably wouldn't have this hobby now.

But Xu Jiawei did not satisfy her at that time, and being an auctioneer changed from an interest to a real hobby.

Have fun.

She will take every auction she will host very seriously, remember the information of each item, and make sure there will be no problems with the items that will affect her interest in being an auctioneer.

"There is still one item missing..." After completing the inventory, Xu Jiujiu bit his lips in distress.

"What's one more thing?"
