Chapter 293: Yun Feng’s Decision (4)

The waiter was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Yun Feng wasn’t easy to deal with, he could only move aside and squint at her, while mumbling to himself, “Damn you. Do you have to be so pretentious?”
Yun Feng walked to the counter in the Auction House, and the receptionist asked with a sweet smile, “Dear guest, do you have a VIP card?”
Yun Feng was confused, so the receptionist explained to her patiently, “The VIP card allows you to examine the items to be auctioned in advance and make bids ahead of others. There are special rooms for the VIPs too, to ensure you’re comfortable here. Naturally, you’ll enjoy a discount too.”
Yun Feng nodded. The receptionist smiled and said again, “Do you want to sign up for a VIP card, miss? If you don’t need one, please go to the channel over there. The next auction will start soon.”
Yun Feng glanced at the receptionist. “What’s the price of the VIP card?” All the Auction Houses on this continent were in a chain. So, Yun Feng would be a VIP in all of them if she applied for a VIP card here. Of course, her privileges in those houses might be different, but it could make her life easier in general. Yun Feng believed that she needed one.
“As long as you pay more than a thousand mid-level ores for an item in the Auction House, you will get a VIP card,” said the receptionist with a smile. Yun Feng chuckled. A thousand mid-level ores? That was a high price. Few people could afford it except for the bigshots in the Mercenary Union.
“Got it.” Yun Feng nodded. “If I pay that number of ores in advance, can I have a VIP card?”
The receptionist was stunned for a moment, and then put on a professional smile. “Yes, it’s possible, madam.”
Yun Feng took out two high-level ores and presented them to the receptionist, making her eyes glitter and widening her mouth. One high-level ore could be exchanged for five hundred mid-level ores. Such an exchange rate suggested the rarity of high-level ores. Even the five-star groups in the Mercenary Union could only excavate no more than a hundred high-level ores in a year, and the number varied every year.
The receptionist finally regained control of herself. She looked at Yun Feng with glittering eyes. “Honorable guest, please wait a moment!” She quickly rushed to the rear of the Auction House, and Yun Feng stood there and waited. Very soon, a man hurried from the rear. The man wore a pair of glasses, which made him look rather scholarly. The receptionist pointed at Yun Feng and said something. The man immediately walked to her with an obsequious smile, “Madam, I’m Li Jiefu, director of this Auction House. What can I do for you?”
Yun Feng smiled. “I need storage containers. Do you have any?”
Li Jiefu said with a big smile on his face. “Dear guest, please come with me. We have exactly what you need!”
Yun Feng nodded and followed the man. Hardly had they disappeared from the lobby, when another man walked inside. The receptionist put on a professional smile, but when she saw the man’s face, her tongue was twisted. The visitor smiled and raised the receptionist’s chin with his finger with charming eyes. “What did the previous girl say?”
The receptionist was completely befuddled. She looked at the handsome young man, and could see nothing but peach blossoms. Without any resistance, she repeated exactly what Yun Feng said earlier. The young man put on a smile and retreated his hands. Then, he left the Auction House. Standing at the door, he mumbled, “She’s here to buy things? I thought she was here to sell stuff…”
Yun Feng followed the Auction House’s director to a room on the second floor. She realized that it was one of the special VIP rooms. It was rather comfortable, with a soft, spacious couch where one could sleep. The room was quiet too. The most eye-catching feature of the room was the transparent glass on its side, which allowed the people in the room to see everything in the auction field. The director rubbed his hands and asked, “Madam, what do you think of this room?”
Yun Feng nodded. This place was indeed satisfactory. She could see what was being auctioned clearly, and if she was interested and made a bid, her identity wouldn’t be exposed. The buyers in the lobby, on the other hand, might be vulnerable to malicious robbers. If they paid for a big or famous item, they might even get killed because of it.
Yun Feng examined the environment and was quite satisfied. Her privacy was well protected. She liked that. Seeing the satisfaction on Yun Feng’s face, the director of the Auction House took out a glittering card that said “VIP”, and gave it to Yun Feng. Yun Feng nodded, and the director prudently left. Yun Feng sat down on the couch and pressed a button that had a voice sign on it. Immediately, she heard the sounds from the auction area.
“Next, we’re going to auction…” The auctioneer was trying to elaborate on the items that weren’t really special. Yun Feng sat there lazily. The storage containers were treasures. They weren’t too precious, but weren’t affordable to everyone. They wouldn’t be auctioned just yet. Yun Feng waited patiently and observed the people in the seats through the transparent glass. Those people couldn’t see her, but she could see them clearly.
Glancing around the room., Yun Feng discovered a few familiar people, including Murong Shuli and Murong Ze. They must’ve come to this auction because they wanted something. Yun Feng smiled. Some good items were exhibited during the auction, but neither Murong Shuli nor Murong Ze raised their sign. Both of them seemed calm and confident, as if they were determined to get something here.
