Let Me Name a Number!

Although Shen Hui couldn't see the appraiser's expression, he could tell from the other person's actions and tone of voice.

Shen Hui could tell that the other party was in a complete panic.

Although Shen Hui was also a little unsure of the situation, he was prepared to run away at any time.

But at least for now, it seems there are no problems at all.

"OK."

"Please sit here for a moment, I'll be right back."

The appraiser finished speaking and immediately walked out.

Shen Hui sat on the sofa, and a puff of smoke rose from his arm, transforming into a Raven.

The Raven then transformed into a wisp of smoke and followed the departing appraiser.

Shen Hui was worried that the other party would just leave like that. If they were to harm him, he wouldn't even know how he died.

The appraiser went to another room nearby. It was empty, but there was a communication device inside.

"Hey, manager, someone here has entrusted us to auction some extraordinary items, and we need your approval."

"Yes, it includes a set of cultivation technique templates for Immortal Cultivation System world ranging from levels 1 to 9."

"Yes, that's right, it's very likely related to that person who died in the World Association before."

"Manager, do you think the person who commissioned us... could be a member of the Giant God Cult?"

"Impossible? That makes sense. The Giant God Cult has always been very secretive; they certainly wouldn't do something like self-destruction. Then I'm relieved."

"Manager, do you think we should find out where they came from? After all, they're related to the World Association."

"Okay, then we'll wait for you to come and handle it."

After the appraiser finished speaking, he hung up the phone and let out a heavy sigh of relief, feeling as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

Shen Hui overheard their conversation through the Raven, though he didn't know what the manager on the other end of the communication channel was saying.

However, based on the appraiser's words, it can be inferred that there is no immediate danger and no need to run away.

The appraiser began to walk outside, but Shen Hui had already sent the Raven back, which had transformed into black smoke.

A short while later, the appraiser returned from outside.

"You've been waiting. Our auction house manager will be here shortly; he will make the decision."

Shen Hui nodded, and after a while, a person dressed in a smart gray fitted outfit walked in from outside.

"Manager, this is the one. The things are here."

Upon seeing the other party's appearance, the appraiser quickly stood up and respectfully spoke.

The manager ignored him, glanced at Shen Hui, and then fixed his gaze on the prop.

He quickly picked it up to examine it, and his body involuntarily trembled slightly, though the movement was very small, it was still accurately caught by Shen Hui.

"Sir, I am the manager of the auction house."

Everyone knows how precious this item is; your decision to entrust it to us shows your trust in us.

"Rest assured, our auction house will not inquire into the origin or provenance of this item."

"However, given how special this item is for this period, the commission fee may increase if the customer entrusts us with the auction."

Shen Hui frowned as he listened to the steward's words.

I thought that good quality items would result in lower fees, but I didn't expect the manager to actually raise the price.

Could it be that this manager actually thinks he can control me because of the special nature of this item?

Shen Hui sneered inwardly; the manager and the appraiser's slightly excited gestures had given them away.

As the auction house, they were also very keen to auction this item.

Once a property is sold through their auction house, it undoubtedly demonstrates their capabilities and greatly enhances their reputation.

Shen Hui, "Since the manager says so, then allow me to consider it. I will not participate in today's auction."

As Shen Hui finished speaking, he packed up his things and walked outside without pausing.

The manager, not expecting Shen Hui to be so decisive, quickly stepped forward, grabbed Shen Hui, and said with a fawning smile:

"Wait a minute, guest. We can discuss this, we can discuss this. How about this: if you entrust it to us for auction, we'll maintain the original handling fee?"

Shen Hui stopped and pushed his hand away.

"Doesn't the manager have any sincerity at all? I think I'd be better off finding a seller myself."

When the manager heard Shen Hui say this, he realized that he was being manipulated by the other party.

"Okay, since the customer has said so, how about I only charge a 4% commission?"

Upon hearing the manager's words, the appraiser immediately exclaimed in a tone of surprise and panic:

"Manager, this won't do! We'll lose money!"

"Taking on this item carries a huge risk for us. If the owner finds out, we're doomed."

The manager waved his hand, took a deep breath, as if he had made a major decision.

"There's no other way. To repay this customer's trust, I've made the decision to reduce the handling fee by half!"

"If there's any trouble later, I'll take the blame."

"How is this guest?"

Beneath the mask, Shen Hui stared at them expressionlessly, still pretending to be himself.

If these two hadn't gone into live-streaming e-commerce in their previous lives, they would have been wasting their talents.

Shen Hui didn't reply, but instead held up one finger.

"I'll name a price, a fixed price, and a 1% commission!"

"If it's okay, I'll entrust it to you; if not, I'll leave."

Seeing that Shen Hui hadn't fallen for it yet, the manager could only grit his teeth and kick the appraiser.

"Stop acting, it's just 1%, go and deal with these things quickly."

Shen Hui felt that if he said he wouldn't charge a handling fee, the other party might agree.

All the items to be auctioned were brought out, and the appraiser took them and began preparations for the auction.

The steward continued the handover with Shen Hui.

"Sir, this is your points card. After the item is auctioned off, the transaction fee will be deducted and deposited directly into your card."

Shen Hui took a black card and a platinum gold card with writing on it.

The black one is a points card, while the platinum one is a card similar to a business card.

"Thank you for your trust. If you find anything good in the future, please feel free to contact us. This is our auction membership card; my phone number is on it."

I took a look, and the card had the two big characters "All Things all things) written on it.

That should be the name of the auction house; the contact number is in the bottom right corner.

Shen Hui nodded and put the things away.

"Then the guests may proceed and take their seats. The auction will begin shortly."

As Shen Hui prepared to leave, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What items are up for auction this time?"
