Summon the defense tower at the beginning

Chapter 67 Utan City Auction
The morning sun shines through the branches and leaves in the forest, a little bit of mist gathers in the remaining cold.

A young man slowly walked out of the mist. He raised his head and looked at the direction, and walked towards Wutan City.

The business and trade in Wutan City is very prosperous, and the most lively place is the Temir Auction Hall in the south of the city.

It is the largest auction place in Utan City, and it also belongs to the richest family in the Gama Empire: the Temir family.

Not long after dawn, the vendors along the street were still setting up their stalls, and the door to the auction venue was already open.

Although it is said to be open, in fact it is almost not closed here.

Chen Jue's eyes swept across the spacious hall and walked towards the room on the side. On the door of the room, there were three big characters "Treasure Appraisal Room" printed in shining gold paint.

It was so early in the morning, so naturally not many people came here to appraise and auction the treasures. Even the wandering mercenaries in the city were too lazy to get up, let alone other people.

But after all, this place belongs to the Temir family, one of the three major families in the Gama Empire. Even on such a boring morning, the middle-aged appraiser responsible for appraising treasures is still sitting behind the counter, although he is a little listless.

Seeing Chen Jue walking in, the middle-aged appraiser just wanted to say hello habitually, but the next second he categorically denied the idea.

"Where is this bastard who came to try his luck? Why are the people in Wutan City so whimsical? Do you consider me a vegetarian as an appraiser?"

Although this thought flashed in his mind, the middle-aged appraiser didn't show it at all. After all, it's enough for him to know these things. The most important thing in business is to make money with peace.

He didn't say a word and didn't say hello. Instead, Chen Jue stepped forward, took out the silver scale breastplate without thinking, and said.

"I sell a breastplate."

"Chest armor? Huh, the style is not bad, where can I find the blacksmith?"

While speaking, the middle-aged treasure appraiser symbolically pulled at the silver scale breastplate twice and said lazily.

"A silver coin, if you want to put the thing here, don't take this junk away."

"..."

Chen Jue frowned slightly when he heard this. Although he didn't know the value of the silver-scale breastplate, he did know the price of Wutan City.

How much is this silver coin worth?

Perhaps it was because Chen Jue stood silently, the middle-aged almanac master looked up at him, pointed to his eyes jokingly, gestured to him again, and said with a sneer.

"What are you looking at? Are you not convinced? There is a small door behind me, and there is the money bank across the aisle. Go and grab it! The stupid young man is still pretending to be a bastard. Let's go back and practice for a few years."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jue finally came to his senses.

In the final analysis, this auction is similar to a pawn shop. It is a place where strong dragons rise up and watch their wrists.

In his current state, no one would give him a good face if he saw it.Thinking about it this way, Xiao Yan saved a lot of trouble when he had Yao Lao as a cover.

After thinking about it, Chen Jue shook his head helplessly and reached out to hand over the silver scale breastplate.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was pressed down by someone beside him.

"This breastplate, I bought it."

"you?"

Chen Jue looked back and saw a man wearing a black cloak and robe. The wide hood completely blocked his face. In addition, the robe was already wide, so it was difficult to tell the difference between male and female.

The man in the black robe seemed to see Chen Jue's hesitation, and put a bag of gold coins on the table.

"Here is one hundred gold coins. I will give you the rest."

"Master! You are here!"

While the two were talking, two people walked over quickly from the corridor beside them, breaking the atmosphere in the room.

Among the people who came, the one on the left was an old man in Tsing Yi with graying hair.

Although the style of clothing is ordinary, there is something like a medicine stove painted on the chest of his blue robe. On the surface of the medicine stove, there are two silver ripples, shining with a ray of light.

The second rank pharmacist - Gu Ni!
Beside him, a beautiful woman in a red dress swayed with lotus steps, every step seemed to be stepping on the hearts of everyone.

She is the pillar of this auction venue, the auctioneer - Ya Fei.

The two came over from the aisle, and they simply glanced at Chen Jue, who was stunned aside, without saying a word of greeting, and surrounded the man in black, asking warmly.

"Master, why are you here so early?"

"The foundation-building spiritual liquid from the last auction is still on the books..."

"Give the remaining money to this little brother."

Before he finished speaking, the man in black greeted him lightly, and by the way, he also pulled Chen Jue into the circle of the three of them.

Until then, Gu Ni and Ya Fei looked at Chen Jue for a while.

In fact, compared to the unidentified man in black robe, Chen Jue is standing here blankly, with a slightly pale face, adding a bit of embarrassment, and the aura on his body Ping Ping, he doesn't look like a person with any status.

They may even have no brains, and those who dare to show their faces at the auction are either famous or powerful.A stunned young man who doesn't understand anything, just ran over carelessly, is he from the current restaurant?
Out of professional courtesy, Yafei asked casually.

"Sir, what are you going to auction?"

"A breastplate, I want cash."

As soon as the word "cash money" came out, he looked very poor, even Ya Fei, who was always polite, couldn't help laughing jokingly.

Still, Gu Ni, who was at the side, had a little sharp eyesight.

"Eh? This breastplate..."

"Silver scale breastplate, which can increase endurance and strength."

"Strength? You mean the increase in fighting spirit?"

Gu Ni asked subconsciously. In his impression, strength and endurance are not quantifiable values, but some advanced equipment can indeed increase fighting spirit and enhance the strength of fighters.

It's just that that kind of equipment is probably rare to see in this small city of Wutan in a hundred years.

"This?!"

As soon as this thought flashed across his mind, Gu Ni subconsciously touched the silver-scale breastplate, his heart was shocked, and he lost his voice in astonishment.

"It's really an increase in fighting spirit?!"

The changes in the breath of the fingertips couldn't be more clear to Gu Ni, who is already a [-]-star alchemist!
Seeing his expression changed, Yafei asked curiously.

"Master Gunny?"

"The only thing in the world today that can quickly improve a fighter's strength, apart from elixirs, is this kind of special equipment that increases fighting spirit! But most of those equipment are swords and weapons. I didn't expect this thin chain armor. It also has this effect.”

"What is the increase in fighting spirit?"

"It's a special effect, a magical method that only a very small number of blacksmiths can possess!"

As he spoke, Gu Ni couldn't hide his excitement, and even his words trembled a little.

If there is a profession in this world that can stand side by side with the alchemist, then perhaps the only one is the blacksmith.

Compared with the step-by-step improvement of the alchemist's elixir, to some extent, the blacksmith's weapon can bring about rapid improvement.

This kind of equipment with the effect of increasing battle energy can be said to be thousands of times more precious than the general pills that help in cultivation!
Ya Fei, who had looked down on Chen Jue at first, was indeed worthy of being a seasoned businessman. She soon noticed something from Gu Ni's words, and when she turned her head, she saw that Chen Jue's face had returned to the friendly and charming face of the past./ raucous.

"Excuse me……"

"My surname is Chen, Chen Jue."

"Chen Jue?"

The smile on Ya Fei's face faltered slightly. She originally just wanted to ask how to sell the Silver Scale Breastplate, but she didn't expect Chen Jue to directly tell her her name.

It would be fine if he was really a character, but neither Ya Fei nor Gu Ni had ever heard of the word "Chen Jue".

"That's it? Are you so proud of yourself? Do you think you are the emperor of the empire?"

For some reason, Ya Fei felt unhappy looking at Chen Jue's cold face.

These words flashed through her mind, but her habitual smiling face did not change at all, even though no one could see that this beautiful person with enchanting eyebrows/eyes, still had such thoughts in her heart.

Just as Ya Fei was still thinking about how to continue to talk to Chen Jue, Chen Jue picked up the one hundred gold coins on the counter, pointed at the black-robed man who was somewhat neglected, and said.

"I'll take the money, and this breastplate is yours."

"..."

Under the black robe, the stranger seemed to look up at Chen Jue.

Master Gu Ni was so overwhelmed by surprise before, obviously the value of this piece of chain armor is far beyond what can be measured by this small hundred gold coins.

Chen Jue opened the bag of gold coins in front of everyone, counted them one by one, and then divided them into several small piles and put them into cloth bags.

Although he never met the eyes of the black-robed man, he seemed to see what the black-robed man was thinking, and said calmly.

"Don't get me wrong, I am a loser but not a loser."

"interesting."

Under the black robe, the corner of the man's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Chen Jue with a kinder gaze.

Anyone who showed the slightest approach to these words would arouse the vigilance of the black-robed people, but Chen Jue just made a very self-proclaimed sentence, which made the black-robed people feel a sense of sympathy.

It's a pity that the two of them hadn't had time to say a few more words, but Ya Fei couldn't help but interrupted.

"Master Chen, your breastplate with increased fighting spirit is far more than this hundred gold coins. If you let our auction house help you auction it, we will definitely give you a more satisfactory price."

"Satisfied? Even if you can't satisfy me, what else can I be satisfied with?"

"you?!"

As soon as these words came out, Ya Fei Liu's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, her pretty face was full of anger and frost, she was obviously a social butterfly who was always calm, but now she seemed a little angry.

Still on the side, Gu Ni saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly and secretly pulled the corner of Yafei's clothes, and secretly winked at her.

Now there are two people in the treasure appraisal room, but neither one of them can afford to offend.

Thinking of this, Gu Ni glanced at Chen Jue, who was counting the gold coins, and then looked back at the man in black robe, secretly raised his brows.

"What happened to this little city of Wutan this year?"
