54: Luxury Auction House
When Brother Wu Ying heard it was a Supreme VIP Card, his mouth hung open wide, his eyes went blank, and he couldn't utter a single word.
How could this be possible?
Only the big shots among Treasure Hunters have VIP Cards.
Even though he had made quite a name for himself in the treasure hunting world over the past few years, he was still far from qualifying to apply for a VIP Card.
Brother Wu Ying really wanted to say something, but he just couldn't bring himself to speak.
The VIP Card came with considerable privileges. If Qin Yun were to kick him out...
Missing such a great opportunity would leave him with nowhere to cry!
He could only watch Qin Yun leave with unwillingness.
When Qin Yun heard it was a VIP Card, he was also stunned at first.
When that gentleman suddenly gave him the business card, he found it strange and didn't even want it at the time.
He never expected the VIP Card to be so precious and hold such great power.
Julia witnessed the entire process and was somewhat worried about being kicked out.
She never expected that what Qin Yun held was actually a VIP Card, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.
The reactions of the people around them showed just how precious the VIP Card was.
She thought to herself, 'As expected of Qin Yun, he even has a VIP Card.'
"We have a special VIP Lounge. Guests, this way, please."
Led by the guards, Qin Yun and Julia walked into the Auction House together.
Only after watching Qin Yun and Julia's backs disappear did Brother Wu Ying dare to speak.
"How could this be possible, how could it be? How does that Eastern Kid have a VIP Card?"
"What should I do? Can I beat Eastern Kid this time?"
"I definitely can! That kid is just lucky. His eyesight and experience can't possibly be better than mine. This time, I'll use this auction to get my revenge!"
Brother Wu Ying stood in place for a long time, gritted his teeth, and also walked into the auction.
Upon entering the Auction House, Qin Yun found the environment quite nice.
Compared to the usual messy warehouses, this place was much cleaner and tidier, like a small, luxurious sports arena.
In the center was a very large stage with many spotlights and a huge screen.
Surrounding it were rows of gradually ascending spectator seats.
On the second floor, there was another level of private boxes that looked quite high-end.
Arriving at Box Number Six, Qin Yun discovered that the gentleman who had given him the business card was actually sitting inside.
"Thank you for the VIP business card. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to attend such a grand auction. As a Treasure Hunter, if I missed such an important event, I'd regret it for a lifetime."
Qin Yun was very grateful to this person and spoke highly of the auction.
He was already starting to look forward to what good things might be found in such a luxurious Warehouse Auction.
The man laughed a few times, quickly stood up, and invited Qin Yun and Julia to sit down.
"Qin, you're too kind. With your skills, you'd definitely qualify for the auction's VIP status. I just moved the process forward a little."
"I'm the Operations Manager of the Storage Company, March Arnold. Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand."
Arnold was quite pleased with Qin Yun's flattery. He was betting on Qin Yun's potential and investing early.
He had been waiting here for Qin Yun for a while, wanting to see for himself what kind of person Qin Yun was.
Seeing that Qin Yun remained humble and polite even after suddenly gaining wealth, he felt much more at ease.
No matter how high Qin Yun's potential was, Arnold didn't want to invest in an ungrateful person.
Eating fruit and drinking red wine, the two chatted happily.
Through Arnold, Qin Yun learned a lot about the auction.
These were high-value warehouses collected by the Storage Company and auctioned off together.
This way, they could fetch high prices, which also served as a benefit for veteran Treasure Hunters.
The process of finding the warehouses was all recorded, and the Storage Company guaranteed that nothing inside had been touched.
If evidence of tampering was found, the Storage Company would compensate tenfold!
In the box, there was a thick catalog with information on all the warehouses.
"This... this is truly amazing. The person who came up with this method must be a genius!"
Qin Yun was very impressed by the Storage Company's methods.
With such high-standard Warehouse Auctions, Treasure Hunters would surely flock to this path.
"Of course, this was the Company President's idea. The Storage Company's scale is largely thanks to him!"
When speaking of the Company President, even the usually calm Arnold showed a look of admiration.
It was clear the president held a very high position in his heart.
Just as Qin Yun was about to ask some questions about the company, with a burst ofPassionate music, the auction officially began.
A large Gantry Crane placed a small Container steadily on the built stage.
The large screen began playing information about the warehouse.
Where the warehouse came from and where it was discovered.
A few photos of the warehouse beforehand, including a few blurry photos of the interior.
From the video, it seemed a flexible Probe had been used to enter the warehouse through a gap to take the photos.
Seeing such detailed information, along with the signatures of relevant Storage Company personnel, Qin Yun was quite shocked.
Using such high-standard methods to auction warehouses was indeed impressive, far more advanced than any he had attended before.
The quality and safety of the warehouses were guaranteed. As long as one was discerning, Treasure Hunters had a great chance of getting what they wanted.
Qin Yun picked up the materials on the table and examined them carefully.
From the blurry photos inside the warehouse, many Fishing Supplies could be seen.
"All warehouses here have been appraised by Experts. They all contain valuable items, so they're definitely worth money."
"Whether you profit or lose depends on your eyesight. If you secure it at the right price, you can definitely make a lot of money."
Seeing Qin Yun staring blankly at the photos in his hand, Arnold quietly reminded him.
"Thank you, I'll be careful."
Qin Yun didn't know much about Fishing Gear, and the blurry photos in his hand didn't reveal much, but he was still very grateful for Arnold's reminder.
"The starting bid for the first warehouse is Three Thousand Dollars, with each increase no less than five hundred. The auction officially begins."
As soon as the Auctioneer finished speaking, the hall immediately became lively.
Bidding calls rose and fell throughout the hall, and the screen displayed the highest bid and its number.
The auction price climbed very quickly, reaching Ten Thousand Dollars in less than three seconds.
And people kept bidding, the competition was fierce. Money seemed like paper in this place.
Qin Yun was dumbfounded by the speed and range of the bidding.
In ordinary Warehouse Auctions, few people bid above a thousand dollars, and only a handful compete at the end.
The prices here were so exaggerated, and so many people were bidding. It was truly unbelievable!
When the price reached Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars, Qin Yun was completely stunned.
Just a pile of Fishing Supplies—what brand could possibly be worth so much?
Qin Yun grew curious and directly used his Profound Vision Treasure Eye.
He discovered a cluster of brilliant green nebula inside the warehouse.
