Reaching an Agreement and Using the Gold Card
Du Bai originally intended to intimidate President Zhuge and the three senior appraisers in red robes within this cramped room.
Tell them not to try anything with you and to trade honestly.
Unexpectedly, this attracted the attention of Titled Douluo powerhouse at the auction house.
This left Du Bai feeling both amused and exasperated.
In this confrontation, Du Bai and the auction house reached a draw, with neither side gaining an advantage.
"It seems that the Titled Douluo powerhouse in this auction house is no ordinary person, and he is keeping a close eye on what's happening here!"
Du Bai thought to himself.
At this moment, Du Bai had already withdrawn the Soul Douluo's Soul Power pressure.
The three red-robed senior appraisers also withdrew the Soul Power pressure they had been resisting.
However, the brief exchange had taken a toll on their aged bodies, and they all looked rather pale at the moment.
Although their expressions weren't very good, they looked at Du Bai with even more respect.
This man in black is not someone to mess with.
Not only can he produce a set of Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set, but his own strength is also considerable. Below the Titled Douluo, he can completely roam freely!
"Mr. Du, I think we can sit down and have a good talk!"
President Zhuge regained his composure and spoke, but his words were clearly filled with respect.
The domineering attitude displayed by Du Bai, and the impact of the Soul Bone he brought, caused President Zhuge to change his previous arrogant attitude.
Moreover, the auction of the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set is a big deal.
Once this huge deal is completed, it will be an unparalleled honor, recorded in history, and mentioned by future generations—a truly glorious achievement!
Not only President Zhuge, but also the resumes of the three senior appraisers in red robes will be filled with this glorious achievement.
More importantly, if the auction is successfully completed, the commission fee charged by the auction house is quite substantial!
"Can."
Du Bai said calmly.
Afterwards, Du Bai and President Zhuge chatted for a while longer.
Du Bai insisted on taking 30% of the deposit and demanded that the auction house only take 10% of the auction price as commission.
Finally, after continuous negotiations by President Zhuge and the three red-robed elders, the matter was resolved.
Du Bai and the auction house each took a step back.
Du Bai can take 25% of the deposit first, while the auction house will take 20% of the auction price as a commission.
However, Du Bai's retreat came at the cost of other conditions.
First, Du Bai arranged for the auction at the Heaven Dou City Auction House to be held five days earlier.
Secondly, Du Bai instructed the auction house to heavily promote the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set auction, ensuring the promotional effect was effective.
In a short period of time, not only did all forces in the Heaven Dou Empire know about the emergence of the Spirit Bone Set, but even the neighboring Star Luo Empire had to make sure to spread the word.
They don't even spare newborn children; they want to know about the sale of the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set.
Finally, Du Bai asked President Zhuge and the three senior appraisers in red robes to wait outside for a quarter of an hour, while he also gave himself time to think things over.
On the surface, Du Bai needed to think things through for a while, but in reality, Du Bai was about to use the Shocking Gold Card to start accumulating Shock Points.
Du Bai's three conditions were not excessive, and the auction house agreed to them, thus reaching an agreement between Du Bai and the auction house.
Of course, all of this is on the premise that Du Bai can actually produce a complete set of Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set.
"Mr. Du, please think it over carefully. We'll wait outside."
President Zhuge spoke to Du Bai in a very polite manner.
"OK."
Beneath the mask of a smiling man with Green-faced Fanged fangs, Du Bai responded calmly.
And so, President Zhuge and the three senior appraisers in red robes were "driven" out of the advanced appraisal room by Du Bai.
Fortunately, the VIP appraisal room is located in a relatively luxurious area of the auction house, and there are usually very few people around.
Otherwise, they would have been greatly shocked to see the distinguished President Zhuge and three senior appraisers in red robes standing outside the appraisal room.
Furthermore, it's highly likely that this will become a topic of conversation after dinner.
They might even joke that President Zhuge and the three senior appraisers forgot their keys and locked the door.
Inside the VIP appraisal room, Du Bai sat comfortably on his soft mahogany sofa.
"Fifteen minutes is enough for me to use my Shocking Gold Card!"
Du Bai thought to himself.
Then, Du Bai stopped hesitating and began to act.
"System, please retrieve the Shocking Gold Card for me!"
"I'm going to use the Shocking Gold Card now!"
Du Bai transmitted the command to the system.
As soon as Du Bai issued the command, the system immediately began to execute it.
In an instant, a gold card, entirely made of gold and covered with various mysterious patterns, appeared in Du Bai's hand.
"Ding! Please confirm again whether to use the Shocking Gold Card?"
The system asked Du Bai.
"Confirmed!"
Du Bai sent the command back to the system without hesitation.
"Ding! Shocking Gold Card successfully used!"
"Ding! Please describe the shocking event that needs to be completed."
The system notification indicated that the gold card usage was complete.
Suddenly, Du Bai felt a lightness in his hand, and the Shocking Gold Card disappeared.
The next step is to describe the shocking event that needs to be completed to the system.
"System, the shocking event I need to perform is:"
"By auctioning off the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set under the identity of Du Changxiao, the appearance of the Spirit Bone Set shocked the entire Douluo Continent!"
Du Bai described the shocking event to the system.
"Ding! This shocking event meets the requirements for using the Shocking Gold Card!"
"Ding! Please auction off the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set as Du Changxiao, causing a sensation and shocking everyone. You will gain Shock Points!"
"Ding! Note: The higher the shock value, the higher the age of the Soul Beast sacrificed will be!"
"Ding! Limited time offer: one month."
"Ding! Countdown: 29 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes."
As Du Bai finished describing the shocking events that needed to be completed, the system emitted a series of notification sounds.
Hearing the system notification, Du Bai knew that the shock mission had begun.
At the same time, Du Bai could see the current shock level through his mental focus.
Du Bai's current shock value: 11.
And after 11, +1, +2, +3, +1, +2 and so on appear from time to time.
Soon, Du Bai's shock level reached 34 points.
According to Du Bai's guess, it must have been when the President Zhuge and the three old men outside the door were talking that they were shocked because of Du Bai's Spirit Bone Set.
"Not bad, not bad, the Shock Points is increasing quite quickly!"
Du Bai was very satisfied to see that the Shock Points was starting to increase.
Du Bai has not yet taken out the remaining torso bones, the two arm bones, and the last right leg bone.
Du Bai believed that these four Soul Bones would be useful.
President Zhuge and the three old men will definitely be shocked and startled.
Du Bai will also gain a Shock Points as a result.
Even a small mosquito is still meat!
Very soon.
Fifteen minutes passed.
There was a knocking sound at the door.
"Mr. Du, your fifteen minutes are up. Have you made up your mind?"
"May we come in and proceed with the next steps of the discussion?"
Outside the door, the voice of "Elder Wang," a senior appraiser in a red robe, could be heard.
"Come in."
Du Bai said calmly, still sitting on the soft mahogany sofa.
Soon, President Zhuge and three red-robed elders entered the advanced appraisal room one after another.
Seeing the three old men and President Zhuge enter, Du Bai was already prepared to take out the remaining Soul Bone and obtain Shock Points.
Good morning, dear readers!! Good afternoon~~ Good evening~~ Love you all~~ Wishing you all happiness, joy, and beauty every day!! By the way, please give me your votes~~~ I hope you won't get tired of the auction and gold card plot. A little spoiler: we'll definitely need Soul Beast over 100,000 years old to sacrifice so we can live better with Xiao Dong Dong and have more money!!! In the original novel, Tang San and his group were stingy and didn't enjoy themselves when they had money, which I didn't like. So in this book, with money, they'll naturally live a good life with Xiao Dong Dong, and with strength, they'll naturally crush Qian Xunji Yu Xiaogang, Tang San.
