Start with full cooking skills, make money and become a lord

Cheng Yu and Mina had a hearty meal at Marcus's Fried Egg Restaurant, and then went to a hotel near Michael's Auction House to stay.

"Friend, do you know where I can buy magic materials?"

At the hotel front desk, Cheng Yu asked the young waiter for directions.

The wind and thunder fruit mentioned in the black pancake recipe is a magic material. Alchemists often use this material as a neutralizer when refining potions. It can only be bought in magic material stores.

The young man smiled politely, "There are many magic material stores on the street where the Magic Association is located. You can go right after leaving the hotel, walk to the end of this street, and then turn left to see it."

The two left the hotel.

The Magic Association is a professional organization that assesses the professional level of magicians.

Magic assessment tests are held every once in a while.

If you pass the magic assessment test, you can be promoted to the next stage of magicians.

Standing at the entrance of this street, looking around, there are many magicians wearing black magic robes, holding magic wands, and wearing pointed magic hats on the street.

In a prominent position on the body, there is a badge symbolizing the magician's rank.

There are few magicians, and this thing can be hung on the body to show off.

The first-level magician badge is made of meteorite black iron, black and shiny, palm-sized, in the shape of a ring, and the inside of the ring presents a hexagram pattern.

The second-level magician badge has the same shape as the first-level magician badge, but the material for making the badge is dark night blue copper, the color is dark blue.

Walking on the street, Cheng Yu's eyes swept over these magicians. Most of them are first-level magicians, and very few are second-level magicians.

In addition, there are a few magicians who are relatively low-key and do not hang their rank badges in a prominent position.

Once upon a time, Cheng Yu also wanted to get a magician badge, hang it on his chest, and become a high-quality human male.

However, he has no magic talent and it is impossible for him to get a magic badge.

Walking into a magic material store, the middle-aged boss was sitting at the counter counting accounts.

"Do you have any wind-thunder fruit here?"

"Yes, how many do you want?"

"Ten, please."

"80 silver coins each, 10 is 800 silver coins, or 8 gold coins."

Magic materials are very expensive, Cheng Yu did not bargain with the boss, and readily took out 8 gold coins to pay.

After collecting the money, the boss went to the warehouse to take out a wooden box.

Opening the box, there were ten round blue fruits inside, a bit like blue tomatoes.

"The wind-thunder fruit has a long shelf life, use within three months." The boss reminded.

"I know."

Cheng Yu studied "The Encyclopedia of Plants and Animals on the Celsis Continent", so he naturally knew the characteristics of the wind-thunder fruit.

"By the way, boss, do you have any black pine nuts here?" Cheng Yu asked again.

"Yes, how many do you want?"

"Ten kilograms."

"Sure, ten copper coins per kilogram."

Black pine nuts are not magic materials, and the price is cheap.

"Give me ten kilograms."

The boss took out a sack of black pine nuts from under the cabinet and put ten kilograms of it in a small cloth bag for Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu put away the ten kilograms of black pine nuts and ten wind-thunder fruits, and went back to make the special food called black pancakes.

...

Two days passed quickly, and it was the third night.

Today is the day when the Mikael Auction House holds an auction. Cheng Yu and Mina go out at seven o'clock in the evening.

The Mikael Auction House is brightly lit, and a number of luxurious carriages are parked at the door. Many dignitaries from Snow City come to participate in the auction, one to see if there are any items they like, and the other to join in the fun and see something new.

The dignitaries are wearing gorgeous dresses and a pile of chicken feathers on their chests, as if they were going to a banquet alone. They walk into the Mikael Auction House accompanied by servants or housekeepers.

Compared with those dignitaries, Cheng Yu is like a passerby NPC.

However, Mina followed Cheng Yu.

Those who could own beautiful slave girls of the Orc tribe were basically rich people, and the auction guard did not stop Cheng Yu.

After successfully entering the Michael Auction House, a beautiful and dignified etiquette lady guided Cheng Yu into the main venue of the auction.

The staircase hall, with staircase seats one by one, could accommodate hundreds of people.

At the front of the staircase hall was a large exhibition stand with magic props lighting on the top, making the entire main venue bright.

The dignitaries sat down casually.

Cheng Yu and Mina found a corner to sit down.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the auction officially began.

A middle-aged auctioneer was responsible for the hammer of this auction.

The first auction item was a ruby ​​necklace, with a starting price of 10 gold coins.

After a brief introduction by the auctioneer, people in the hall began to bid.

In the end, the ruby ​​necklace was sold for 33 gold coins.

The second auction item is a silver long sword, which has a certain armor-breaking effect.To restrain the warrior with strong physical defense, the starting price is 15 gold coins.

After a round of bidding, the long sword was finally sold for 60 gold coins.

The third auction item is a second-level magic crystal, oval, yellow, crystal clear, with a starting price of 30 gold coins.

The second-level magic crystal is an energy crystal born in some large monsters, which contains powerful magic power and can be used to make magic props or to refine high-level potions.

Generally, magicians and alchemists are more interested in this thing.

After several rounds of bidding, the second-level magic crystal was finally sold for 70 gold coins.

Time passed by.

A petite elf girl walked to the booth, standing barefoot, with skin as white as snow and long green hair draped behind her like a waterfall.

Her ears are long and pointed, showing the unique characteristics of the elves, her eyes are bright and clear, as bright as stars, and her nose is straight and small, adding a sense of refinement and elegance to her profile.

Perhaps because of fear, the elf girl trembled unconsciously.

"The twelfth auction item, a girl from the forest elves, perfect body, first-level magician, starting price 200 gold coins."

The voice of the middle-aged auctioneer echoed in the hall.

Many people in the venue came for this elf girl.

As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately made an offer.

"I offer 220 gold coins."

"I offer 230 gold coins."

"I offer 250 gold coins."

"I offer 255 gold coins."

...

Everyone bid, and the bids came one after another.

There was no point in bidding now, Cheng Yu planned to wait until the end to bid.

"I offer 300 gold coins."

"I offer 400 gold coins."

The price was quickly raised to 400 gold coins.

The bids were significantly reduced.

An ordinary orc girl only costs 70 or 80 gold coins. It is not worth spending 400 gold coins to buy an elf girl.

A fat rich businessman bid loudly, with a faint sense of oppression in his voice, "I bid 450 gold coins."

As soon as this was said, the whole audience was silent.

The price of 450 gold coins was too high, and no one was willing to bid again.

The middle-aged auctioneer looked at the fat businessman and recognized him as a famous rich businessman in Snow City. "Master Devitt bid 450 gold coins. Is there any higher price?"

Under normal circumstances, there should be no higher price than this.

"I am old, and I have not tasted the taste of elf beauties." The rich businessman smiled as if he had won.

On the booth, the elf girl looked at the rich businessman who was as big as Bajie, and her fear was even greater. How could her fragile body withstand such fatness?

She lowered her head and cried silently.

"My young master bids 500 gold coins."

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the southeast corner of the hall.

Is there anyone else bidding? !

All the dignitaries followed the voice and looked towards the southeast corner of the hall, and saw a girl from the Silver Wolf Clan standing there, with a handsome young man sitting next to her.

The upper class of Snow City all knew each other, and none of them knew the young man, guessing that he might be from outside Snow City.

Dewitt looked at Cheng Yu, with a bit of hostility in his old eyes, and continued to raise the price, "I bid 530 gold coins."

"My young master bids 590 gold coins."

Mina continued to bid.

The fat on his face trembled slightly, and Dewitt said angrily, "I bid 650 gold coins."

"My young master bids 700 gold coins."

Anyway, this money was robbed from the robbers, and Cheng Yu didn't feel bad at all when he spent it.

The whole audience was shocked. This young man must be crazy, spending 700 gold coins to buy a slave.

Merchants are good at weighing the pros and cons. 700 gold coins are already far more than the price of a slave, so the wealthy businessman named Dewitt did not raise the price any further.
