175 Emperors Shop (2/2)
Jin Rou noticed this, however, as he did not know what to say, he just kept quiet and would help Zin Shi if needed.
”Merchant Hao! You've finally returned!” Just all of sudden, a matured man in a black robe came over to them. He looked at Jin Rou and Zin Shi as if he was sizing them up, ”So these two are newbies?”
”Staff Li, yes that's right. These two are new customers of La Estance Market.” Merchant Hao, the bald merchant, nodded and added, ”And looks like I was fortunate, as this young lady here possesses a golden card!”
”Golden card?” Staff Li almost wanted to take a step back from being stupefied. As a staff of this shop, where only golden card users had the privilege to purchase something here, he knew the importance of this card itself. After calming himself down, he asked Zin Shi, ”Young lady, may I see your golden card?”
The moment the golden card was mentioned, everyone stopped talking and set their eyes upon the newcomers, as if they did not dare to believe what they heard.
”Ah... yes!” Being the center of attraction now, Zin Shi found it very uncomfortable and immediately showed the golden card.
”It's true!” Staff Li was surprised again. To think that such a young lady had this card. Did she steal it from her parents? or grandparents? Possible normal scenarios played right in his mind. Unfortunately, none of them had hit the spot.
After a short while, he regained his calm and said ”Welcome to Emperor's Shop! I am Staff Li. I believe you guys came here to participate, right?”
As someone who worked here for thousands of years, he knew how to talk professionally and effectively. After all, the owner of this place was very strict and a perfectionist when it comes to business.
”Is it possible to just watch?” Jin Rou asked.
Staff Li was a bit annoyed by this question. However, when he thought that this young man's companion was a golden card user, he knew he needed to stay calm as the water, ”This friend here, it is possible. However, the rewards waiting for you is not a joke and you might think it through if you really just want to watch.”
”Then we will participate, then.” Actually, Jin Rou really wanted to join the fray, as this was a new experience for him outside his realm. After all, even in Rou Celestial Realm, the celestial appraisers there were also popular and held a high status in the society.
Staff Li smiled and talked to them for a while to make them feel comfortable. After which, the appraising competition officially had started.
