Chapter 490: Chapter 239: I Have an Idea for Getting Rich (6k)

The appraiser obviously didn’t expect that the guest this time was just a young girl. He assumed she was some sort of spoiled young lady out for a leisure trip.

He intended to use the usual rhetoric to impose pressure, thus gaining an advantage in the subsequent appraisal, bringing more profit margins for the auction house and himself.

This had been his habitual tactic all along.

Yet, faced with this customary rhetoric, Bai Yi had an unexpectedly strong reaction. Instead of countering with words, she overturned the table to express her discontent through action.

Even more surprising to him was that Bai Yi would play such a hand.

Even though he had the capability to arrive at this Star Sky Transfer Zone, which in itself wasn’t weak, he, as a Tier Five, could erupt with Tier Six strength, ranking him among the elite in the starry sky.

But at this moment, he still sensed a threat from those weapons, proving they had at least reached Tier Five!

There was even certain uniqueness to them!

However, what would usually delight him now plunged him into trouble, and almost instinctively, when faced with danger, he wanted to use his capabilities to defend himself.

But here, no "attack" behavior is allowed!

Attacking with weapons also counts as an "attack"!

Even for him, as an auction house staff member, it was the same. This was a crucial reason why many starry sky visitors felt secure here!

And now, this rule forcibly suppressed his resistance.

Even though he realized this quickly, having his move interrupted left him no chance to pivot to a gentler approach!

The sharp point was already close!

However, just as these sharp weapons were about to touch him, they vanished like illusions, leaving only the cold sweat flowing from him as evidence of their existence.

"Terribly sorry for scaring you.

As you can see, these are the items I plan to sell."

Bai Yi apologized with sincerity, yet he couldn’t hear that meaning within her words.

Moreover, this interruption had entirely dissipated the momentum he had built at the beginning.

Due to Bai Yi’s inherent strong presence, he couldn’t muster any anger and could only smile wryly:

"I ask this young lady not to toy with me any further, let’s begin with the main topic."

The appraiser knew well that he was already at a disadvantage in this pre-appraisal communication.

Yet his professional integrity held, denying Bai Yi any opportunity to exploit the situation, quickly commencing the appraisal to interrupt her potential to further seize the advantage.

With the start of the appraisal, silence fell over the room once more, leaving only the sounds of the appraiser picking up and setting down the weapons and Bai Yi enjoying the food Miss Maid somehow sourced.

Unbeknownst to Bai Yi, her mere act of passing the time placed immense pressure on the appraiser.

Internally, the appraiser had raised Bai Yi’s rank evaluation, tier by tier.

If at first, her table-flipping move seemed like a child having a tantrum, now it showcased the sheer "strength" of this seemingly young girl.

This person was definitely not as simple as she appeared!

The appraiser’s mind raced with a storm of thoughts, yet he was soon captivated by the weapons in his hands, losing himself in them.

Checking them one by one, he even took them up for a test after asking for permission, his estimation of Bai Yi continuing to rise.

Yet...

Did the creator of these weapons have some peculiar habit?

Those items that clearly appeared to be weapons didn’t have exceptional combat functionality; at least, calling them average regarding weapon utility was generous.

However, they possessed incredibly potent special effects, even carrying a hint of compulsion, essentially unique magic items disguised as weapons!

While these wouldn’t serve well purely as weapons, the unknown magic metal composing them was remarkably good.

Even without any deeper use, the superior material alone allowed them to function as Tier Five weapons, evoking a sense of wasted extravagance.

Conversely, the biologically crafted items resembling magical artifacts were brimming with combat capabilities, living almost purely for battle.

Appearing just as biomass spheres, yet upon usage became fully enveloping biological armor, even capable of granting various combat superpowers, the defense wasn’t weak either.

The entire design was riddled with contradictions, embodying rebellion.

Yet one had to admit, even among the starry sky, these items were powerful within the same tier!

It’s only a shame they were all just Tier Five...

After the appraiser finished examining the last item, he sighed softly, but he quickly composed himself, flashing a smile again.

After all, no matter how it was said, these weapons were top-quality, with potent effects and a slight compulsion, and their quantity was their best advertisement.

At least his commission wouldn’t suffer.

"Miss, the items have been appraised, though all at Tier Five, the quality is extremely high.

May I ask if you wish to sell them directly to the auction house or arrange for a direct auction?

For the former, I can offer a purchase price of 1000 per item; for the latter, the auction house will arrange for the earliest auction by tomorrow, and a 15% commission will be taken from the final sale price.

And if I may ask, do you happen to have anything of a higher tier?"

Naturally, he couldn’t voice his internal critiques of these items, and of course, their strengths would also stay hidden within him.
