What Is a Fortuitous Opportunity? This Is a Fortuitous Opportunity!
The woodshed was deserted early in the morning.
Last night's awkwardness was just too much.
Although the audience was laughing, the so-called main characters couldn't laugh at all.
Auction house.
The auction house was packed with people, with at least five or six layers of people surrounding it, making it impossible to squeeze in.
"I want to enter the auction house! I want to go in and buy magical treasures!"
"I want to go in too. I have money; I brought several thousand taels of silver."
"Why aren't you letting us in yet? Hurry up!"
"We've been standing outside for an hour, why hasn't the door been opened yet?"
In fact, in cultivation worlds like this, Spirit Stone are used more often.
However, the production team couldn't actually pull it off, so they simply made up a story about the depletion of spirit mines and used a lot of gold and silver, which didn't raise any suspicions.
So many people?
Lin Hao stood on the outside, looking inside.
They couldn't detect any Spiritual Qi fluctuations from these people, nor could they tell whether they were mortals or accomplished seniors.
If they're seniors, there are way too many of them.
"Please be quiet, everyone."
A woman walked out of the auction house.
The woman was dressed rather lightly, and she looked at the crowded people below with a smile on her face.
The noisy crowd immediately fell silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, due to the large number of people wishing to participate, the auction house has limited capacity."
"Therefore, after discussion, we decided that a threshold fee of ten thousand taels would be required for this auction."
The woman's eyes swept over the crowd, her smile unchanged.
Ten thousand?
The entry fee is ten thousand taels?
The man who had previously boasted about bringing several thousand taels of silver shrank back, and the others who had planned to join in the fun fell silent.
What should we do?
I can't get in.
A moment later, only a few dozen people remained of the original five or six layers of people.
Lin Hao gritted his teeth and handed over a silver note.
The same applies to the remaining main characters.
Inside the auction house.
There were quite a few people sitting in the hall.
Lin Hao looked up at the second floor and was surprised to find that there were still private rooms available.
"Sir, the private room costs 100,000 yuan. Would you like that?"
A waiter saw Lin Hao look up and immediately made a recommendation.
"I···"
"Alright! Upgrade to a private room!"
Lin Hao: "..."
For no apparent reason, Lin Hao ended up sitting in a private room on the second floor.
Throughout the entire process, he was completely bewildered.
He really wanted to get angry.
Suddenly a man jumped out from the side, shouting that the auction house should pay the price.
It finally exploded into a bloody mist.
That's terrible.
Let's just pay.
When it came time to hand over the silver notes, he discovered that he only had less than ten thousand taels of silver left.
What happened to buying things?
What happened to the promised fortuitous opportunity?
Gu Yuan sat to the side, almost wanting to laugh.
The production team also went to great lengths to recoup the funds held by the main actors.
Zhang Yun was in the next private room.
Zhao Ting was in the opposite compartment.
Those with names and surnames were all on the second floor; not a single one was spared.
"The first item up for auction, obtained from a secret realm, is a pill for breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, increasing the success rate by fifty percent!"
On the auction stage, a pill engraved with unknown patterns was placed in the center, and the woman holding the small hammer introduced it.
Moment.
The entire auction house was in an uproar.
Nascent Soul Realm!
That's a realm that's unattainable for most people.
Starting bid: 100,000!
Two hundred thousand!
"Five hundred thousand!"
"One million! Don't even try to take it from me, the City Lord's Mansion is ours!"
A powerful voice came from inside a private room. "One million."
"One million, sold!"
That's outrageous!
The first thing I needed was a pill to break through to the Nascent Soul stage; how could I possibly afford anything else after that?
At this moment, all the main characters were thinking the same thing.
If the private rooms weren't so expensive, I probably would have turned around and left.
"That item we just auctioned was merely a warm-up."
"The second item up for auction is a tattered map!"
"This map is said to have been passed down from a cultivator's family. We don't know its specific function. Starting bid: one hundred."
The woman in front of the auction table displayed the tattered map and explained.
Map?
It's still broken and tattered, what use is it?
Lin Hao's gaze fell on the map, his brows furrowing slightly, but he didn't find anything unusual.
"So that's how it's done."
He didn't notice, Gu Yuan did.
"I'll offer five hundred!"
Inside Mo Yuan's private room, shouts of bids rang out.
Five hundred?
This thing isn't even worth a hundred.
Interesting.
Gu Yuan appeared in Mo Yuan's private room, then in Zhang Yun's, then in Zhao Ting's...
After walking around, I finally understood the program team's intentions.
The production team really went to great lengths to make the protagonist's experience of finding a bargain at the auction house more engaging.
Each private room has a different glass panel in front of it.
From other perspectives, this map looks ordinary and unoriginal.
From Mo Yuan's perspective, one can directly see a faint light shimmering in the center of the map.
It's like feeding him directly.
What is it if others can't see it, but you can? If not fortuitous opportunity, then what is it?
Destiny is in my hands!
The auction is still ongoing.
Occasionally, a few valuable items would be bought by the so-called powerful cultivators, while the remaining smaller items would all end up in the protagonist's hands.
Zhang Yun bid on a bronze bottle, and Lin Hao bid on a small gourd.
Without a doubt, they all saw the unusual things through the private room.
What is fortuitous opportunity? This is fortuitous opportunity!
The group, their faces beaming with excitement, were forcibly suppressing their emotions, afraid that others would find out they had gotten a bargain.
It's clear they're genuinely excited, but also very cautious.
After all, this is fortuitous opportunity.
If you bought something casually and found it full of gold inside, wouldn't you be Gao Xing and excited?
The auction will last for three days.
The fact that he was able to obtain fortuitous opportunity on just the first day filled Lin Hao with excitement.
But the thought of having to sleep in the woodshed that night made him hesitate.
No, we need to find a safe place.
I'll be sleeping in the stable tonight.
It wasn't that Lin Hao didn't want to sleep in a single room, it's just that he really didn't have enough money.
As long as you don't associate with those other sect's prodigies, you can keep your fortuitous opportunity a secret.
Inn.
Lin Hao stood in front of the waiter, staring into his eyes.
Is anyone else in the stable?
"No!"
"Really no one else?"
"Real."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Lin Hao was satisfied.
"Twenty taels for you."
He tossed out twenty taels of silver and turned to head to the backyard to find the stables.
Backyard.
A foul odor wafted over, but Lin Hao paid no attention and walked straight towards the stables.
Push open the fence.
Then I saw...
Zhang Yun covered his head with straw, Mo Yuan faced the wall, seemingly engrossed in something, and Zhao Ting lay quietly with a cloth draped over his face...
Lin Hao: "..."
Wasn't there supposed to be no one else in the stable?
So, just because we slept in the woodshed together last night means we're not strangers, right?
"Hello everyone."
In an instant, Lin Hao felt as if he had traveled through time and returned to yesterday.
The atmosphere became awkward again.
He found an empty spot, used some straw to cover himself.
A moment later.
The stables are full again.
