Chapter 122

It would not be an exaggeration to describe Great Divinity's auction venue as' grand '.

The venue covered an area of nearly a million square meters and could accommodate up to five hundred thousand people. There was a tower at each of the four corners of the venue for free trading. Sellers could set up stalls in the tower and only needed to pay enough rent. They could even settle the rent daily. Buyers could enter and leave for free. Moreover, the towers at the four corners were different from the main venue as they were open all year round.

When Gu Ding and the other two arrived at the main venue, the main venue was closed off as the auction had not started yet. Only one room was opened for use as a front desk.

The room was crowded and noisy. The people in the room were sellers who wanted to consign their items.

There were eighteen waiters in the room. They all looked exactly the same. They looked like seventeen or eighteen years old girls and wore the same uniform. Gu Ding was stunned when he saw the waiters, but he quickly reacted. "These waiters are robots, right?"

"That's right. They're custom-made treasure appraisal robots. Their eyes are actually special detectors that can clearly detect the era when the auction item was made. They can analyze the structure of the auction item just by touching it with their palms. Moreover, they have a lot of information related to treasure appraisal in their database. " Neptune had looked up a lot of information about auction venues before he arrived at Great Divinity. He had some understanding of these robots. "These robots aren't very popular at the moment due to their high cost. They're only used in very large auctions. They're different from human appraisers. They only need a few seconds to determine whether an item is valuable or not. They're very efficient. "

Gu Ding chose a shorter line and waited patiently as he watched people go in and out of the room.

Gu Ding saw people leaving dejectedly in less than ten seconds each time. Only a few people were taken away by the waiters, but the waiters would not leave for more than a minute each time.

The number of people in front of Gu Ding's line also decreased rapidly. No one in the line was taken away.

In front of Gu Ding was a fierce-looking man with a broken axe on his back. When it was his turn, he walked to the counter and put the axe on his back on the counter. "This is an axe that's been passed down in my family. Little girl, can you help me see how much it's worth?"

The good-looking appraising robot glanced at the axe and then reached out to touch the handle of the axe. It shook its head. "I'm sorry, your item doesn't have any value."

The man slammed the table fiercely. "Your robot must be broken. From the moment I came in to line up, there were over a hundred people in front of me, and your appraisal result was only this one sentence. I want to meet the higher-ups of your auction house and get a real appraiser to reappraise it for me! "

"I'm sorry, your item doesn't have any value," the appraisal robot replied.

"Broken robot!" The man cursed. He picked up the axe from the table and swung it at the robot's head. But the next moment, someone grabbed his wrist.

He struggled with all his might, but he couldn't move an inch.

"If you have any questions, you can talk to the management at the entrance. If you destroy the robot, the dozens of teams behind you will have lined up for nothing. "Gu Ding stared coldly at the other party.

When the man saw that the one who stopped him was a child, he didn't pay much attention to him. However, when he looked up, he saw that there was a big man standing behind Gu Ding. He immediately let go of his hand, picked up the axe, and walked away.

"Hello, it's my pleasure to serve you." The appraising robot showed a professional smile when it saw Gu Ding walk to the table.

"Help me take a look at this item." In Gu Ding's hand was a crystal ball, which Neptune had ordered the mechanical insects to steal from the Witch Tribe high priest's room.

"Your item is a product from the Middle Ages 14.6 billion years ago. It's quite well preserved." It only took a moment for the appraising robot to reply. "Please follow me!"

After it finished speaking, it led Gu Ding into another room. Lilliath and Biggie followed.

The room was a mess. Things were piled up all over the place.

Gu Ding and the other two did not know where to step and were a little worried that they would accidentally step on something.

"Take out the item you want to auction and let me have a look!" A hoarse voice came from behind the square table. Gu Ding stood on his tiptoes and tilted his head to look, but he did not see anyone.

"Take it out and put it on the table. I don't want to say it a third time!" The voice sounded a little impatient.

Only then did Gu Ding put the crystal ball on the table.

At that moment, a head popped up in front of the table. Then, a pair of hands grabbed the edge of the table, and the person climbed onto the table. Gu Ding knew why he did not see the person earlier. It was because the person was too short, only about sixty or seventy centimeters tall. However, the person's beard and hair were all white, and he looked like a miniature old man.

The little old man wore a pair of specially made glasses and carefully observed the crystal ball. After a long time, he said, "Where did you get this Middle Ages Witch Tribe crystal ball? How did you manage to preserve it so well?"

"We encountered space-time backtracking and happened to appear near a Witch Tribe community." Gu Ding did not intend to hide anything.

"You're really lucky to be alive!" The little old man said as he raised his head and looked at the three of them. "Since you came back alive, you should have more than one item in your hands, right? Do you have anything else? "

"First, ask him how much the crystal ball is worth," Neptune reminded Gu Ding. He did not want to reveal the details to the other party too quickly. Although the other party was an appraiser hired by the auction, Neptune felt that it was not wrong to be cautious.

"How much is this crystal ball worth?" Gu Ding asked.

"The crystal ball is a special item for the Witch Tribe. Other races have no use for it. Although there are rumors that there are remnants of the Witch Tribe, no one knows where they are hiding. If someone else buys this item, it can only be used as an ornament. It won't be worth more than two billion Star Credits, "the little old man explained in all seriousness." Can you take out the other items now? "

Only then did Gu Ding take out the items one by one and let the little old man appraise them one by one.

During the hour that Gu Ding was in the auction venue's appraisal room, the video of his battle with Senior had spread all over Skynet.

Calling an ambulance for his opponent and feeding him cell repair agents had become Gu Ding's trademark. This was because it was not the first time he had done something like this.

The people from the Army had also seen the video. They did not think that Gu Ding's actions were an act of arrogance. However, no matter what, the news of Gu Ding defeating an Army senior colonel had spread. This was like a slap in the face to the Army. Senior was not weak. He was one of the best among the Army senior colonels. The highest bounty on his head was 710 million Star Credits. This meant that the 160 million bounty was no longer suitable for Gu Ding's current combat effectiveness.

After a meeting and discussion, Gu Ding's bounty was finally doubled again, reaching 320 million Star Credits. In the Dark World's underground network, his ranking on the Newcomer Ranking had also jumped to second place.
