Chapter 289: Next Auction (1/2)

”Sorry?” Han Jing was caught off guard a little and immediately started running his little minds regarding the different scenarios that might come true.

'Does he have more pills to sell? I got a 3% commission from everything I sold today. Since he was the highest, I got above 2 True spirit stones from his alone. If he is willing to sell more of those pills then..' His mind started running wild.

”Um… fellow Daoist?” Alex called.

”Uh. Uh… yes?” Han Jing answered.

”About the next auction, can you tell me a little about it,” Alex asked.

”Um… Fellow Daoist, do you have more pills to sell?” Han Jing asked.

”Sorry? No, I don't. I was just thinking of taking part in the next auction. So I was wondering, is it still taking place every day? When will it take place tomorrow?” Alex asked.

”Oh, fellow Daoist, you meant to ask that,” Han Jing said in a dejected voice. He could practically hear his wild daydreams shatter around him. Still, he was professional and answered professionally.

”No, we do not have any auctions planned for tomorrow. Since Thursday is a break from the competition, the auction house is organizing an auction as big as the bi-annual auctions it has every 6 months. That will be the final auction for a few days,” Han Jing said.

”Thus, if you wish to take part in the auction, I suggest you either take part in Thursday's auction at 10 am, or the one that takes place right after the competition ends,” Han Jing said.

”After the competition ends? When is that?” Alex asked.

”Umm… we have no idea fellow Daoist. You must know too that the final competitions can sometimes last for days. So, the very next day after the end of the competition will be another auction held by the auction house. However, that is too far away, so I suggest you join the auction for the day after tomorrow,” Han Jing replied.

Alex thought for a second and said, ”Very well. Thank you for the information. I will take my leave now.”

”Umm… Fellow Daoist, Should I save a VIP room for you?” Han Jing asked.

Alex thought for a bit and agreed. He knew there were VVIP rooms as well, but since he was a single person a VIP room alone would suffice him.

Alex thanked Han Jing and left the auction house. He looked at the time and realized that it was around 5 pm, so he didn't dilly dally and went straight back to the hotel.

He reached the hotel 15 minutes later and returned back to his room.

”Oh, brother Yu, you are back,” Wan Li said, while constantly writing on a new book. He had probably learned a lot of new things and he was trying to write them down before he would forget them.

Alex really wanted to give him a flower right away but was still a little hesitant. It was going to take him a while to trust anyone on the same level in the game again.
