Chapter 254: Chapter 167: Attention Caused by Opening a Store_2

"I wonder if Peggy Little Jie could add me as a friend? It would be easier to contact you if there’s an antique I want in the future."

"..."

Seeing these high-profile characters she would never qualify to meet in the real world, each appearing incredibly congenial, Peggy’s nervousness dissipated, replaced only by excitement.

The status brought by her proud identity as "Clan Leader" is nowhere near the identity of being Mr. Ze Ren’s employee.

This is the Holy Land!

A place full of countless opportunities and benefits!

Of course, Peggy is well aware that the true opportunity she possesses is Mr. Ze Ren himself; everything in front of her is because of Mr. Ze Ren, so she needs to firmly grasp this opportunity.

"Yes, Mr. Li, I’m honored you remember me."

"Thank you, I will wholeheartedly serve Mr. Ze Ren."

"Thank you for understanding."

"Of course, this is indeed my job."

"..."

Quickly adjusting her mindset, Peggy started engaging effortlessly with these high-profile figures who were once out of reach, answering each of their questions.

Suddenly, her eyes brightened.

She saw a petite lady approaching.

"Miss Yunxi, you came too?"

The visitor was the representative for the Collector at the last auction, and it was she who relayed the on-site information to the Collector, allowing him to arrive promptly.

Just like Peggy herself suddenly gained a different status due to Mr. Ze Ren, this Miss Yunxi, even if unknown before, is enough to become the focus of attention simply for representing the Collector.

A lot of people nearby came over, greeting her with even more friendliness, and some respectful undertones compared to earlier with Peggy.

However, Yunxi did not respond to the others.

She merely glanced at Peggy, then said indifferently:

"Have you become Mr. Ze Ren’s employee?"

Her obviously modified pupils showed clear indifference, only changing momentarily when uttering the words "Mr. Ze Ren."

"Yes." Peggy slightly straightened her back.

Though her attitude remained polite and friendly, she didn’t want to show too much weakness.

Even if Mr. Ze Ren’s current status cannot compare to the Collector’s, Mr. Ze Ren is her solid backer, at least, he should not be inferior to anyone here.

"This time, I’m still here on behalf of the Collector, and I also want to extend my personal gratitude to Mr. Ze Ren," Yunxi’s tone softened noticeably but then shifted to obvious pride, "After promptly notifying the Collector last time, I formally became the Collector’s representative, looking for collectibles in the market that might catch the Collector’s eye."

Upon hearing this, some of the surrounding people, especially those antique dealers, had their expressions change immediately.

Initially respectful, they now concealed none of their reverence.

Some even tried to ingratiate themselves.

After all, all human civilization knows that a rare antique can bring unparalleled profits from the Collector, but not everyone can contact the Collector.

Now, with a representative like the one before them, isn’t there a channel to trade items with the Collector?

This means more than just gold coins; it also opens the trading channel to Gus Land!

Even Peggy, at this moment, looked at her with undeniable envy.

But she quickly gathered herself, merely smiling:

"Congratulations, Miss Yunxi."

"Same to you," Miss Yunxi also glanced at her, "Being able to work for Mr. Ze Ren, Peggy’s luck is quite good."

"Indeed, I think so too." Peggy responded with a smile.

Although it seems that the luck of the person before her is even better, Peggy is already very satisfied.

Besides... what if Mr. Ze Ren really becomes the "Antique Dealer" someday?

Peggy couldn’t help but laugh internally, putting aside such unrealistic thoughts.

At this moment, Yunxi glanced at the still-closed shop entrance, then at the increasing crowd outside, slightly furrowing her brows and asking: "Can I go straight inside? The Collector has little interest in ordinary antiques; I just need to see the high-quality ones."

"This..." Peggy felt somewhat troubled.

"No, I’ll wait," Yunxi shook her head again, "Mr. Ze Ren has the Collector’s friend slot; maybe my representation isn’t needed. I’ll continue to queue here."

"..."

Peggy felt a faint sense of relief.

However, at this moment, many onlookers who dared not interject were inwardly amazed.

The shop owner even has the Collector’s friend slot?

Even the Collector’s representative patiently queues outside?

Several people who initially intended to leave stopped again.

The surge of anticipation for the shop intensified, but none dared act out, including numerous high-status antique dealers who began queuing, not daring to assume they had more status or qualifications than the Collector’s representative.

Thus, an unusual sight appeared on the market street—a long queue in front of a shop with its doors closed!

Gradually, even people from other sections learned of this rare occurrence and made a special trip to see it.

Seeing more and more people, Peggy vaguely understood Yunxi’s intention behind those words.

A self-answered question, using the prestige of the Collector to promote Mr. Ze Ren’s shop.

Surely, someone representing the Collector won’t be simple, and perhaps even her apparent indifference was staged deliberately.

She herself must learn well—to be Mr. Ze Ren’s best employee.

As the countdown approached, the two hours swiftly went by, and now, the shop entrance had a line of hundreds!

Drawing numerous onlookers.

This is considered a rare scene in the market.

Finally—!

The countdown ended, the shop entrance slowly opened, and amidst the orderly line, slight commotion began to surface.

The bigger the spectacle, the greater the anticipation!

Someone even bluntly remarked: "I hope this shop truly deserves its name, worthy of our queue."

"Please rest assured, dear customer," Peggy heard these words and raised her head, speaking with utter confidence, "Our shop is absolutely legitimate! Everyone, you may start entering."

With these words, the first in line, a hooded figure, eagerly entered.

The shop’s interior clearly underwent expansion.

But upon stepping in, the hooded figure paused, staring blankly at the scene before him, slightly bewildered.

The people coming in afterward unabashedly burst into shock!

"Are all these antiques?"

Not just one or two people exclaimed thus; as more entered, the excitement pervading the shop grew increasingly tangible.

For before them, grid shelves resembling a library filled the space, each one showcasing antique projections!

Looking over it, there are at least a thousand items!

In this era, even established forces rarely own that many antiques! Since the quantity of antiques keeps decreasing, let alone over these three millennia with humanity’s population having grown to a terrifying trillion scale, the collections of these established forces continuously get dispersed over time, making their numbers ever more scarce!
