Chapter 1759 1759: Rare Flying Riding Skills

"No need to go through all that trouble!"

In response to Old Nine's enthusiastic invitation, Fearless and the others did not directly enter the venue. Instead, they waved their hands and said, "We came here just to look for something. If you have it, we'll go in; if not, we don't need to waste time here."

"Oh, I see..."

An auction house is not a store; according to the auction house's rules, to maintain the mystery of the items, you must enter the auction house to buy something. Generally, information about auction items is not disclosed before the auction.

Fearless's current request clearly put Old Nine in a bit of a dilemma. However, since Old Nine had collaborated with Wang Yu and the others before, he knew that they were not easy to deal with and might be big clients, so he patiently asked, "What is it that you gentlemen are looking for?"

"The Sacred Stone and the Dark Demon Frost. Do you have them here, Boss Nine?" Fearless asked calmly.

"Dark Demon Frost?!"

Upon hearing the term "Dark Demon Frost", Old Nine's expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed, "Boss Fearless, you indeed have a wide range of knowledge to even know about such things."

"Oh?" Wang Yu and the others felt a surge of joy upon hearing Old Nine's words.

The Dark Demon Frost was a material that even the most monstrous players might not know about; it seemed from Old Nine's words that he had heard of it.

"Does Boss Nine indeed have such a thing?" Crotch Lord leaned in excitedly to ask.

"Yes!"

Old Nine nodded and said, "But you arrived too late; it was just sold to someone else a moment ago..."

"Who bought it?" Wang Yu asked upon hearing this.

"This…"

Old Nine hesitated and said, "That's a secret… I'm sorry, but I can't disclose that to Boss Iron Bull."

The items sold by the auction house are all priceless. As the operator of the auction house, Old Nine naturally had the obligation to keep buyers' secrets, especially regarding a big client like the Quan Zhen Sect.

Otherwise, what if these bandits steal from others? Wouldn't the auction house's reputation be ruined?

Wang Yu understood this situation as well and did not press further.

At this moment, Vainglory then asked, "What about the Illusion Demon Crystal and Black Crystal? Do you have those?"

"The Illusion Demon Crystal and Black Crystal?" Old Nine chuckled and said, "Little brother, you can go in and take a look for yourself…"

"Tch!" Vainglory scoffed and said, "You old man are being overly solicitous; you must have ulterior motives."

"Alright, enough nonsense!"

Fearless pressed Vainglory's face down and pushed him behind, then asked Old Nine again, "Since Boss Nine has seen the Dark Demon Frost, you should know its origins, right?"

In games, the way to estimate the value of an item is usually by looking at its attributes. However, ores like this are not like equipment or skill books, which have direct attribute displays. To estimate the value of such items, one needs to investigate their origins.

The origin determines the value; even a pile of dung dropped by a god-level boss would still have considerable value in a certain sense.

Therefore, Old Nine must be clear about the origins of the Dark Demon Frost.

"Hehe!"

Old Nine chuckled, "Since Boss Fearless is so knowledgeable about our line of work, I assume you also know our rules, right? This is a commercial secret."

"Is that so?" Fearless smiled and said, "It's just an ore; its origins can't be that secretive."

"It's not that secretive", Old Nine replied, "but the rules cannot be broken."

"Alright then." Fearless sighed and said, "I originally had some rare good items I wanted to consign with you, but since you say that, then forget it."

At this point, Fearless turned to Wang Yu and said, "Let's go offline and post to find clues; I refuse to believe that no one else knows about this broken ore besides your auction house."

"Rare good items? What are they?"

Old Nine, who had no particular hobbies, had an inexplicable fondness for rare items. Hearing Fearless say this, he immediately became a bit anxious.

Fearless was right; the origins of this ore were not particularly secretive. With so many people on the forum, they could certainly find clues. Offending a big client like the Quan Zhen Sect over a not-so-secret secret would indeed be more trouble than it's worth.

"Hehe!" Fearless sneered, "What does that have to do with you?"

"Haha!"

Old Nine laughed and said, "You can't say that; perhaps your items are indeed rare, and I might accidentally let something slip? Boss Fearless, quickly show me."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Wang Yu and the others felt like they were covered in black lines...

Businessmen are indeed businessmen; this Old Nine is just as cunning as Fearless, a crafty old fox.

"Hehe, Boss Nine is a sensible man." Fearless smiled with satisfaction and said, "Old Bull, you have something to sell, right? Show it to Boss Nine and see if it's rare enough."

"Okay!"

Wang Yu nodded and pulled out the book "Flying Riding Skills", displaying its attributes.

"What the hell, this is…"

Seeing the skill book in Wang Yu's hands, Old Nine's eyes nearly popped out.

Putting everything else aside, this "Flying Riding Skills" in Wang Yu's hands was absolutely one-of-a-kind in the game, incredibly rare. Ignoring its rarity, its value was certainly on par with any ancient equipment.

After all, riding a flying mount is not only a demonstration of strength but also a symbol of status.

You have to know, most players today are still riding on the mounts given by system quests. Those who can ride top-notch mounts are either experts or wealthy individuals; as for flying mounts, there aren't any at all.

Imagine, in an era where everyone is still riding bicycles and cars haven't become common, if you were to pull out a private jet, how impressive would that be?

Playing games is largely about vanity, and for people in the Quan Zhen Sect, a flying mount might not be as convenient as a cloak, but for those overflowing with vanity, the significance of a flying mount far exceeds that of a cloak.

Especially for those who are not short on money, finding a way to stand out in the game is no longer limited to merely throwing money around; it's about who can spend money in a more unique way, making a more impressive sound.

The value of this one-of-a-kind "Flying Riding Skills" is evident.

Ordinary people without client resources might sell the book for a limited price, but Old Nine has plenty of client resources and knows many wealthy people. With just a bit of hype, this book could fetch an astronomical price.

So when Old Nine saw the skill book in Wang Yu's hands, even this crafty old fox couldn't help but lose his composure; this wasn't just a book; it was a pile of cash!

"Hehe!"

Seeing Old Nine's expression, Fearless chuckled and said, "So, is it rare enough?"

"Rare, rare, absolutely rare!" Old Nine nodded vigorously and asked, "Boss Iron Bull, do you want to consign this book with our auction house? I'll only take a five percent commission from you!"

Old Nine, being a crafty fox, knew that this book would definitely attract countless wealthy individuals. Compared to the attention this book could bring, Old Nine did not care much about the commission.
