Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Do a Small Favor
Yang Yu stood with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for the result.
About ten minutes later, a receptionist came out with a middle-aged man wearing a monocle.
The receptionist respectfully said something to the middle-aged man, and then pointed at Yang Yu.
This middle-aged man, named Kela, was the appraiser in charge of the auction house.
When the Revive Elixir appeared in his hands, he incredulously widened his eyes; such a potion had not been seen on the market for a long time.
The affairs of the Silver Orchid Commerce were almost common knowledge within the circles.
The Silver Orchid Commerce had been caught in a scandal by the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce; the two major corporations had torn each other apart publically in the congress of the Tren Republic, revealing each other’s dark histories.
In the end, the Giant Umbrella Chamber had gained a small advantage, and though it cost them dearly, they also forced the Silver Orchid Commerce to shut down all their markets and flee to the Serti Kingdom with their tails between their legs.
It was said that the method and ingredients for making the Revive Elixir were lost in the chaos, causing them to be unable to produce the Revive Elixir ever again.
Consequently, the market price of the Revive Elixir skyrocketed overnight.
But essentially no one was willing to sell it; it was a life-saving medicine, and no one would easily share it with others, let alone sell it.
Now, this unknown young man pulling out such an object from his pocket, how could Kela not feel astonished and curious?
Hence, Kela immediately left the appraisal room, wanting to see what sort of important figure had brought this particular potion.
But when Kela saw Yang Yu’s disheveled appearance, he felt as if he had been deceived.
Generally, those who possessed such potions were billionaires to begin with; they were definitely not ordinary people.
Yang Yu taking out the potion was akin to a pauper, who had nothing but his underwear, suddenly pulling out a villa from his underpants — utterly astonishing.
Hearing Kela inquire about the origin of the potion, Yang Yu just repeated what he had told the receptionist a moment ago.
Kela tilted his head skeptically. This man seemed vaguely familiar, yet he suddenly couldn’t recall where he might have seen him.
Ordinary people simply could not own such a potion; his attire definitely did not look like that of a billionaire.
Being able to casually produce this potion indicated he knew exactly where it came from; it definitely hadn’t been acquired through petty theft.
...Even if it had been acquired through petty theft, what of it?
Their task at the auction house was to auction items to appropriate buyers and make high commission fees.
Even if some items had dubious origins, that wasn’t their concern; earning money steadily was most important.
Since this auction house was located far from the center of the royal capital, they often did not have good items to auction or fetch high prices.
Therefore, those who worked there were often mocked by people from other auction houses as idlers.
Now, with such a plump sheep before them, it was time to hold their heads high and feast to their heart’s content. Why wouldn’t they take a bite?
Having made up his mind, Appraiser Kela summoned the auction house manager, who shared his interests, and informed him about the potion. The manager immediately grinned at Yang Yu and said,
"Honored VIP, we welcome your presence. I apologize for the receptionist’s rudeness earlier. We will definitely auction this potion for a reasonable price."
Yang Yu smiled lightly, pretending to be indifferent, "I’ll leave it to you then. As long as I can buy a slave with the money, don’t forget to tell me the place and time of the slave sale after the auction ends."
"Before that, let me first tell you the type of slaves I need, you should remember it well."
The manager smiled and said to Yang Yu, "I heard everything you just said, you need people suitable for working on a plantation.
I will find strong races for you and inform you of the locations where those slaves will be auctioned.
By that time, all you have to do is bring your auction house’s high-level VIP card, and you can enter and participate in the auction, making them your slaves.
Normally, you would need to spend a certain amount at the auction house to be issued a high-level VIP card.
But because the things you’re auctioning are very special and you want to spend the money on slaves, I’ll make an exception for you today. As long as the auction is successful, you will be immediately issued a high-level VIP card.
If you have more interesting items in the future, I hope you’ll come here and let us handle them."
Yang Yu chuckled and said carelessly, "That’s certainly possible, but I have to clarify something with you about the plantation I mentioned, which might be different from what you have in mind.
My godfather doesn’t want all big, burly types.
He prefers those races that are voluptuous, he and his friends all like women from other races.
Especially elves, they just can’t get enough of them.
It’s just that getting one is really difficult. He previously got a second-hand one, and he’s been obsessed with it, wanting to possess his own elf.
He can’t come forward himself, so he sent me here. Just as he said, as long as we bring out a bottle full of potions, you all are willing to help us."
The manager’s smile was a mix of serious and humorous, "So the plantation you’re talking about is that kind of plantation, your godfather really knows how to enjoy life.
But that’s none of our concern, what we should consider is how to sell this potion.
After the auction, I’ll check for you, saving you a few trips.
Don’t worry, although elves are becoming scarce, we can still find some.
I believe your godfather will quickly find the elf slave he desires with you handling things."
Yang Yu laughed, leaned over to the manager stealthily,
"I say, although this isn’t my godfather’s preference, do you have those elf boys... those that look as cute as girls... how about it? Are they expensive? If this potion sells well, I might want to buy one."
The manager almost laughed out loud, "As for that, since male and female elves don’t look much different, there are occasionally situations where males are mistaken for females.
You could say, it’s rare, but not unheard of.
Since they are mistaken for females, they are generally cheaper.
Sir, don’t worry."
"That’s really great."
Yang Yu nodded in satisfaction, then whispered in the manager’s ear,
"There’s another thing I want to discuss with you... that is, could you possibly lower the invoice after the auction?
After all, the bills still need to be shown to my godfather and it’s absolutely crucial that he doesn’t notice anything fishy, I’ll ensure you receive a gratifying tip."
The manager smiled and said, "Since the gentleman has requested it, we are certainly willing to help out with this little favor."
