Chapter VII Auction I
readx;
Red Sleeves thought for a while, and said embarrassedly: "Young Master Ke, it's not impossible to awaken the perception of the source power immediately, but it requires a lot of money......"
"Money?" Cao Ke was stunned: "What do you say?"
Red Sleeves said: "The perception of awakening source power is originally a cultivator's sudden perception, and this perception is closely related to the cultivator's own cultivation talent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIf a person wants to bypass these and forcibly open the perception of the source force, then there is only one way to go, and that is medicine. ā
"Medicine?" Cao Ke said suspiciously, "Will there be any side effects from using medicine to open the source force perception?" ā
Red Sleeves shook his head: "There are no side effects, there is no difference between people who use drugs to perceive the source force and those who rely on their own comprehension to feel the source force." As for the level of cultivation that can be achieved in the future, it depends on the cultivation talent, and it has nothing to do with whether or not to use medicine. ā
Cao Ke nodded excitedly when he heard this: "It's good that there is a shortcut to take! If you really let me feel any source power now, then I won't have time to participate in the big competition in five days." ā
Red Sleeves said with a sad face: "But, Young Master Ke, this medicine is not so easy to obtain. ā
"En?" Cao Ke's heart sank in excitement: "Didn't you say that these drugs can be bought with money? Why is it not easy?"
"You may not have heard what the slave maid said clearly...... "Red Sleeves whispered, "This medicine can be purchased through money, but it requires a lot of money. ā
"How much is a large amount? Could it be that our Cao family can't afford a mere pill?" Cao Ke said coldly with squinted eyes.
Red Sleeves smiled awkwardly: "It's not that our Cao family can't afford it, it's you...... Can't afford it. ā
"What do you mean by this?" Listening to Red Sleeves' words, Cao Ke was even more confused: "Could it be that I, the third young master of the Cao family, awakened such a big thing as the perception of the source force, and I can't ask the family for money?"
"No......" Red Sleeves leaned her lips close to Cao Ke's ear and said softly: "Have you forgotten?" on the fifteenth day of last month, after the old lady checked the cultivation of the young masters, he was furious that you had not yet perceived the source power, and afterwards, you asked the old lady for a large sum of money in the name of buying medicine to open the perception. The old lady saw that you were studious and generous, but you didn't buy the medicine at all, but you lost all the money you gambled with Bai Dashao and them......"
Cao Ke was shocked when he heard this: "Walt, that kid is such a bastard?" In a hurry, Cao Ke not only spoke English, but even the original Young Master Ke also scolded.
After scolding, Cao Ke realized that he was quick to speak, and hurriedly explained to the red sleeves with a puzzled face: "I mean, why was I such a bastard at that time......"
Red Sleeves shook his head helplessly: "So, if you ask the old lady for money to buy medicine now, then the old lady won't just tear you up?"
Thinking of the old lady's roaring appearance, Cao Ke suddenly stirred: "It seems that I really can't care about the old lady asking for money...... By the way, how much does that pill sell?"
Red Sleeves thought for a while: "According to my estimate, how can you get about 50,000 gold coins, this is still a conservative estimate, when you asked the old lady for money last month, the old lady gave you 80,000 gold coins for the sake of insurance." ā
"Eighty thousand ?......" For the value represented by the money in this world, Cao Ke, a traverser, really has no idea: "How much is eighty thousand?"
"How can I explain this to you?" Red Sleeves looked left and right, hoping to find something to illustrate what the concept of 80,000 gold coins was, but she searched for a long time, but she couldn't find a suitable thing, so she had to do her best to try to use words to describe it to make Cao Ke understand:" Let's put it this way, an ordinary family of three, the monthly living expenses are five gold coins, the slave maid works as a maid in Cao Mansion, and the monthly salary is also five gold coins, and you, as the third young master of Cao Mansion, have a hundred gold coins per month...... In this way, can you have a more intuitive understanding of the value of 80,000 gold coins?"
Cao Ke nodded clearly: "It seems that these 80,000 gold coins are really an astronomical amount of wealth......
Seeing that Cao Ke was deep in thought, Red Sleeves stood up and said softly: "Young Master Ke, it's not too early this time, can the slave maid go and prepare dinner for you first?"
Cao Ke waved his hand casually, and Red Sleeves walked out of the room lightly to prepare dinner.
Cao Ke was the only one left in the room. Standing up and pacing back and forth in the room, Cao Ke frowned, he didn't have the money to buy the medicine that awakened his perception now, did he really have to participate in the big competition like this?
Isn't this a joke? Isn't it a joke? Isn't it a shame to say that your own little arms and legs are enough for those cultivators to toss? When the time comes, if you lose your own life, won't you become the saddest traverser in history?
In any case, life is still the most important thing. However, where did he go to get these 80,000 gold coins? It is obviously not possible to talk to the old lady, the eldest brother Cao Hong has just become the city lord, and he may not have so much money, let alone the second brother Cao Chuan, that goods, it seems that he just wants to see his own jokes.
After thinking about it, Cao Ke couldn't think of a way, so he had to lie down on the bed and look at the ceiling intently.
After a while, Red Sleeves came back with a large tray, a large bowl of rice, three dishes and one soup on the tray, which made people have a great appetite when they looked at it.
Placing the food on the table, Red Sleeves called, "Young Master Ke, it's time to eat." ā
"Let's put it there first, I don't have an appetite. Cao Ke didn't even look at the red sleeves, but waved his hand at her, signaling that she could go down first.
Red Sleeves knew that Cao Ke was worried about money, so he didn't say anything, just picked up the outfit that Cao Ke had taken off at the base of the wall, and asked Cao Ke, "Young Master Ke, this is your set...... Clothes, if you don't want them, the slaves and maids will take them and throw them away, in other words, these clothes are indeed too old. ā
"Clothes?" Hearing Red Sleeves talk about his outfit, Cao Ke seemed to think of something, jumped up from the bed with a grunt, snatched the set of clothes from Red Sleeves' hand, and hurriedly sat on the bed and turned it over.
Seeing that Cao Ke was suddenly so nervous, Red Sleeves curiously approached Cao Ke's side, blinking with big eyes, watching Cao Ke flip through his clothes in a panic.
Cheap cigarettes for five dollars, a lighter, sixty-two dollars, plus a miscellaneous brand of smartphone. Cao Ke rummaged through the old days and found these things in his pocket.
Looking at these things on the bed, Red Sleeves looked puzzled: "Young Master Ke, what are these things in your pocket?
With a long laugh, Cao Ke didn't answer Red Sleeves' question, but just shouted to himself: "It's really heaven and earth! Eighty thousand gold coins have fallen!"
Putting his arm around the shoulders of the red sleeves, Cao Ke asked softly, "What is there like an auction house in our Wanghai City?"
Looking at Cao Ke's close face, feeling the warm breath he spit out when he spoke, Red Sleeves couldn't help but blush, and replied shyly: "Let's look at Haicheng, which is the capital of the East China Sea Province of the Tongtian Empire, and naturally there is an auction house, but Young Master Ke asks what the auction house is for? We don't have much money, so we go to the auction to buy things." ā
Cao Ke let go of the arm holding the red sleeves, pointed to these things on his bed, and said happily: "Who said we were going to the auction house to buy things?
"Could it be that Young Master Ke wants to sell these strange things......? Can it work?" Red Sleeves looked at Cao Ke and then at those things, thinking in his heart and feeling unreliable.
Early the next morning, Cao Ke, with the help of Red Sleeves, cleaned up, and then Shi Shiran took Red Sleeves' little hand, walked out of Cao's mansion, and went straight to the auction house in Wanghai City.
Being held by Cao Ke like this, Red Sleeves felt very embarrassed, but Cao Ke was his master after all, let alone shaking hands, that is, he pushed Red Sleeves directly to the bed, and corrected the Dharma on the spot, and Red Sleeves didn't dare to say half a word. Therefore, Red Sleeves had no choice but to let Cao Ke hold hands with himself and swagger through the market.
Under the guidance of Red Sleeves, they walked through the streets and alleys, and only after about half an hour did they come to the door of the Wanghai City Auction House. It's still early, the auction house has not yet started business, and the official auction will not start until the afternoon.
Red Sleeves took a step forward and said to the two big men: "Two big brothers, my son-in-law has something to auction here for you, please inform your owner." ā
The two big men first glanced at the red sleeves, and then looked up at Cao Ke behind the red sleeves, and one of the big men waved his hand and said, "It's so early, our owner hasn't gotten up yet, you have to come to the auction, and come back in an hour." ā
Before Red Sleeves could reply, Cao Ke came to the front of the two big men with his hands crossed his hips, squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Open the door to do business, how can you drive customers out like this?" Don't you know the phrase 'customers are God'?"
The two big men sneered when they heard this: "God, boy, did you run out early in the morning before you woke up?
As he spoke, one of the big men raised his huge palm the size of a fan, rounded it, and slapped it fiercely towards Cao Ke.
Where could Cao Ke have thought that these two big men would do it when they said that they would do it, and he didn't react until the moment when the big man's slap was about to hit him in the face, but at this time, it was too late for him to dodge......
