On the way back, Hong Dali asked Fang Han, “Big Brother Fang Han, is this Sauron Auction Center good?”

“En, it’s not bad, indeed.” Fang Han nodded and said, “Sauron Auction Center is the biggest auction center in Shenluo City. At the same time, it belongs to the Sauron Family, who is the richest besides the five giants.

“In Shenluo City, other than the five giants, the richest has got to be the Sauron Family. This family has a long history. It has been around for tens of thousands of years. Their relationship can be said to be quite complicated. According to the grapevine, the Sauron Family is inextricably connected with the five giants.

“With such a strong backing, in addition to the fact that the items of the Sauron Auction Center always being authentic, their credibility is very good. Hence, things auctioned at their auction center can often sell at a higher price than other auction centers. People like to send their items there and there are many, many customers.”

After Fang Han explained, Hong Dali understood.

Reputation was very important for businessmen, as well as stability.

Sauron Auction Center had a history of tens of thousands of years, it had a good reputation with a strong foundation. It was no wonder it was so popular.

“Oh, so that’s why,” Hong Dali nodded. “In that case, Big Brother Fang Han, when will this auction be held?”

“In five days’ time.” Fang Han smiled. “If Brother Dali is interested, I can bring you along. You can buy or sell as you wish. I’m a VIP member there, and you are also a Level-Five VIP yourself. There won’t be any problem.”

“En, okay.” Hong Dali thought for a while. “I will go take a look then. Another chance for me to squander, hehe.”

Speaking of which, the last time Hong Dali went to an auction, it was when he was pretending to be a prodigal on Earth. Now that he had another chance to participate in an auction, it was as if a lifetime had passed—he was on Earth then, now he was in the Universe. The world was really unpredictable.

He bought quite a few things then, he wondered what he would encounter this time.

…

Everyone went home.

After Fang Han sent Hong Dali back to his villa, in the spaceship, Fang Han touched his chin and smiled at Xue Ji, who was sitting beside him. “Xue Ji, what do you think of Hong Dali?”

“En, I’m not sure what to say,” Speaking of Hong Dali, Xue Ji was always tickled. This kid was too interesting. “He doesn’t look stupid, but the things he does are not smart either. I can’t figure out why he does what he does. So…”

“En, I find this person very peculiar.” Fang Wei nodded and slowly said, “When we met Fang Wei in the virtual world, what he did was really smart. But today, he seemed a little muddleheaded. I can’t understand him. Hehe. I’ve always been quite good at judging people. But this Hong Dali, I can’t quite figure him out.”

“Everyone is different.” Xue Ji smiled. “Don’t think too much. Anyway, I’m certain about one thing. Hong Dali doesn’t have any evil intentions!”

“Haha, that’s true. I’m confident of that as well.”

…

Back in the villa, Hong Dali and the others had been out the whole day. They went to Fang Han’s company’s warehouse, to watch battles at Thunder Battle Arena, took over two shops… It was considered quite a feat. Everyone returned to their room to rest.

“Ah, I’m so tired. I’ll sleep first.” Hong Dali returned to his room to rest.

Once Hong Dali walked away, Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and Ling Xiaoyi sat on the sofa in the living room. Tang Muxin supported her chin with her small hand and said with a sad face, “We can’t continue like that. Hong Dali is too much of a prodigal. We don’t have much money left. If we don’t think of something, we’ll starve to death!”

“That’s right.” Ling Xiaoyi was quite worried as well. The most important thing was, Hong Dali didn’t say what he thought. Everyone could not figure out what was on his mind. Besides, this place was very different from Earth. That worried everyone. Ling Xiaoyi thought carefully, then her eyes suddenly lit up. “Speaking of which, although Young Master has always been unfeeling, he’s never ambiguous when it comes to important matters. We have been here for quite some time, but all we’ve seen is his squandering. We’ve not seen him earn money. This is quite unusual.”

“That’s true!” Hearing that, Tang Muxin nodded her head instantly.

When Hong Dali was on Earth, he had strong backing and his family was rich. It was still okay to squander unfeelingly. But here, this rascal still only knew how to squander without earning. That was weird. Especially that piece of Noah Metal they saw previously. He could have earned a few thousand Galaxy Dollars, but he refused to buy it on purpose!

“I think that the Young Master must have something planned.” Li Nianwei thought carefully and said, “Young Master is actually very smart. There must be something he can’t tell us. What we need to do now, is to think of a way to earn money. Speaking of which, the Bright Silver Armor that Young Master bought today reminded me of something.”

“Aye? The prodigal armor?” Tang Muxin simply replace the words “Bright Silver” with “prodigal”. That made it easier to say. “What about the prodigal armor? It’s just a valuable broken piece of rock. But it’s not exactly valuable as well. Something that could be taken with five or six thousand, he spent fifteen thousand—aye? wait a minute, this is strange! Broken rock? Attribute rock?!”

This time, she finally understood. “Sister Nianwei, do you mean we can pawn the jade that Dali gave us when we were on Earth?” In the beginning, Tang Muxin and the rest didn’t understand the value of the jade and thought they were just accessories for show. But the health stones took effect and they understood that those were attribute stones.

If according to the price of attribute stones in this world… that could amount to quite a big sum!

“Gather! Quick, ask everyone to gather!” Tang Muxin smiled. “Those jade looked quite nice, so I brought quite a few along. Ask the rest if they brought any.”

Soon, the lackeys gathered.

Lucifer, who was virtually non-existent, finally came to without Hong Dali by his side. He looked at everyone and said softly, “According to my observation, the warriors in this world have to take part in battles often. Hence, Alien Cores that add attributes are costly. The prices of Alien Cores that we saw in the virtual world are almost the same as the prices in the real world. Which means, the jades that we brought are quite valuable.”

“En, en.” Tang Muxin nodded. “Please continue.”

“Since they’re valuable, then comes a very important question—” Lucifer looked around and smiled. “Will there be any problem if we sell these items? Will Young Master agree to it?”

“I don’t think so,” Li Yang said, slightly embarrassed. “I sold some of those that Young Master gave us previously as my family needed money. About ten thousand. Most of the others were sold when we were on Earth, and the money was deposited into Young Master’s bank card. After all, Young Master needed money in order to squander. What was left were some better-looking ones. We kept them for fun. Actually,” Li Yang laughed. “Young Master is only in charge of squandering. Miss Xiaoyi has been taking care of everything back-end. As lackeys, we just need to make sure that Young Master has enough money to spend. Moreover, these jades are mostly just for show. They’re not of much use. If they could be exchanged for money for Young Master, that is proper business.”

“Since you sold them on Earth and Young Master Dali didn’t mind, that’s much easier,” Lucifer said slowly. “Let’s prepare to pawn these attribute stones. But how can we get a better price for them? Needless to say, it’s definitely through auctions! Where can we auction them? Naturally, Sauron Auction Center!”

“Haha, good! That’s decided, then.” Tang Muxin giggled. “Anyway, we have more of such jades on Earth. They are not of much use currently, we might as well sell them. Speaking of which, these jades are not small. I carried them around for fun previously. They’re fist-size. Aye, this rascal Dali, gifting such valuable things away like rubbish…”

Li Nianwei smiled. “It’s not a bad thing. Because Young Master gave it away so easily, everyone brought some along. Otherwise, income would be a problem. In that case, Xinxin, next…”

“Next, we will bring them to the auction center for a price estimate and wait for the auction to happen,” Tang Muxin said excitedly. “Sister Nianwei, shall we set off now?”

Li Nianwei smiled. “Sure, no problem. Wherever you say we go, we’ll go.”

Li Yang said excitedly, “I’ll be the driver!”

“En, en. We can take the chance to walk around. Sister Xiaoyi can go too.” Tang Muxin finally found a chance to go shopping. “We have not shopped properly since we arrived here. That won’t do.”

It was women’s nature, after all. Shopping on Earth, shopping in the universe. Life went on, the shopping doesn’t end!

“Alright.” With a goal, everyone set off.

Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and Ling Xiaoyi prepared three big scarves and loose-fitting clothes to hide their identity—In Lucifer’s words, they were going as attribute stones wholesalers. These items were relatively rare goods. They were the best in terms of attributes. Warriors from any family or union who were interested to progress would be very interested.

To prevent attracting unwanted troubles, they had to be discreet. Otherwise, if families or unions came every day to ask if they had stones, it would be quite troublesome.

With preparations done, next was to select the stones.

Those with the Strength attribute were the most valuable. That was a priority. But Lucifer’s suggestion was that there would be people who want stones of different attributes. Besides, it would be quite scary if all the stones had the Strength attribute. Hence, they decided to have a mixture.

In the end, Tang Muxin and the others chose five attribute stones which were slightly bigger. Three with the Strength attribute, the bigger one being about two pounds in weight. One with the Agility attribute, 1.5 pounds. One with the Reflexes attribute, one pound.

Others sold stones according to quantity, they sold them by the weight. It was really different!

The size was sufficient. As for the specific attributes—Hong Dali didn’t say anything when he gave them the stones. But with Hong Dali’s extravagant character, they should not be too bad. Hence, they just had to get a more reliable appraiser to appraise the stones at the auction center.

And they set off.
