Chapter 121: Selling the Evil Dragon's Eye
Xia Qing burst out laughing after hearing it.
"Don't laugh anymore, it's embarrassing, right?"
"What a loss of face, this is something worth being proud of. Although it can't compare with the three of us, it's still not bad."
"That was just an accident"
。”
Xia Qing didn't listen to Su Wen's explanation at all, and laughed loudly: "Let's go, go to the bar, have a drink!"
"Do Taoists also drink wine?"
"My god, I'm a fake Taoist. The old Taoist dragged me up the mountain and insisted that I become his apprentice. I'm so unlucky."
"Old Taoist?"
"My master, an unscrupulous old fellow."
Su Wen was speechless, and he and Xia Qing continued chatting like this until they reached the bar.
"Xia Qing, you really aren't clairvoyant?"
"No." Xia Qing thought for a moment, "My master said I'm Tianyan, one in hundreds of millions. I don't fully understand it myself, but basically I can see many strange and unusual things. Seeing the dice numbers is just the simplest thing among them."
"It feels really cool." Su Wen praised, he also got two not bad abilities in the system, one is primary memory technique, and the other is primary heterosexuality affinity, but these two abilities compared to Tianyan, are simply too weak.
Su Wen thought of this and took a look at the two branch tasks in the system.
Branch Task 1: Animal Lover's Recycler.
Task Description: Protect animals, everyone is responsible, the host needs to save 1000 animals.
Note: During this time, do not kill animals, otherwise Branch Task 1 will be permanently cancelled.
Task Reward: Beast Language Primary (can communicate with quadruped mammals).
Current progress: 836/1000.
Branch Task 2: Brave Recycler.
Task Description: Accumulate hitting people 1000 times.
Note: Cannot intentionally hit people. Cannot be evil.
Task Reward: Bloodline Strengthening Intermediate.
Current progress: 125/1000.
Beast language beginner is a pretty good ability. Bloodline strengthening intermediate is also good, but this shouldn't count as an ability.
"Su Wen, do you know who are the other two most unpopular people in Jiangning University?" Xia Qing thought for a moment before asking.
"I've heard of them, one's a thief and the other's a hacker." Su Wen recalled, "But I don't know their names, why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Xia Qing smiled: "Those two are very strange people. If you can see them, you will definitely find it interesting."
。”
"Is it interesting?"
"That thief is called Dongfang Yu. He's a phantom thief, not a student of Jiangning University. He used to be just a small-time hoodlum. But now he's famous, it's said that his head is worth 10 billion US dollars, at least thirty countries are offering a reward for him."
"A billion dollars, thirty countries are offering a reward for him?" Su Wen was shocked.
"Yes, he specializes in stealing people's national treasures, stealing people's privacy, and stealing other men's women. I don't know how many people grit their teeth with anger towards him. It is said that even the Queen of England has something on her that he can use against her. I met him once and asked what it was, he said it was two photographs, unfortunately he didn't show them to me, I don't know if they were nude photos."
Su Wen was so angry and amused at the same time. This is also a kind of awesome person!
"Another guy, also from Jiangning University, four years my senior. His name is Gu Tian. Since he became famous, he has been very low-key, and some people even suspected that he was dead. But I can confirm that he is still alive, as he called me on the phone a year ago. At that time, it really gave me a fright."
"Did he call you?"
"Yes, he was quite curious about me. As the second most unpopular person at Jiangning University, he politely gave a lesson to this third most unpopular person. After chatting happily, he even gave me 100 million yuan as pocket money."
"Wow, he's so rich?"
"He's the king of hackers, to him money is just a bunch of data. I'm regretting now, I should have let him transfer a few billion into my account back then, so I wouldn't be so poor now." Xia Qing said with some remorse.
Su Wen really didn't know what to say.
"By the way, that guy also made me a promise in the end, saying he could help me kill someone." Xia Qing seemed to have remembered something more interesting.
"He also works as an assassin?"
"This isn't it, seems like he's also looking for someone." Xia Qing thought for a moment, "But I told him to go kill my master, he refused even if you killed him, in the end I scolded him a few times and he hung up the phone.
。”
Su Wen heard this and couldn't help but glance at Xia Qing. What kind of people are these? One who spends a billion as pocket money, one who makes someone kill their own master, plus the previous one with questionable behavior, the four most unpopular people in Jiangning University, three of whom are freaks.
Wait a minute, isn't something wrong?
He himself seems to be a weirdo too, is this what they mean by "birds of a feather flock together"?
"Xia Qing, come out!" a loud shout came.
"Su Wen, my master is here, let's go first!" Xia Qing nodded her nose.
"Alright." Su Wen nodded.
Xia Qing hastily ran out, Su Wen looked outside and saw an old Taoist with a white beard scolding Xia Qing. However, Xia Qing still had a playful smile on his face, not taking the old Taoist's scolding seriously. In the end, the old Taoist felt tired and took Xia Qing away.
Su Wen returned to his own room and took out those three business cards.
"The Dragon's Eye is a Western treasure, and all three auction houses will definitely want it, but I can only sell it to the one who bids the highest."
"Let's start with Sauron!"
The Sun provides communication services, and mobile phones can still be used here.
"May I ask who you are?"
"I'm Su Wen, we just met at the casino, I have some business I'd like to discuss with Mr. Solren."
"Business?"
"What price would you pay if I were to sell the fabled Dragon's Eye of your Western legends to Sotheby's auction house?"
"What? The Evil Dragon's Eye has gone missing for three hundred years?"
"Yes, I will send you the picture right away."
"This matter is too important, let me discuss it with the elders of the auction house."
"Can be"
!”
After Su Wen hung up the phone, he took out the Evil Dragon's Eye and took a photo to send to Solen. Then he dialed Beck and Sayat's phones again, and the two were also extremely shocked, sending another photo over. Su Wen then turned off his phone and went to sleep.
The next morning, he saw several missed calls as soon as he turned on his phone.
"These three people are more anxious than me?"
"Bang! Bang!"
"Who is it?"
Su Wen opened the door and found that Solen's three people had come together. It seemed that the three of them had communicated with each other long ago.
"Please come in, three of you."
"Su Wen. I'm so sorry to disturb you at such an early hour. But this matter is of the utmost importance, and we can't afford to waste a single moment."
"You three have come together, so I won't hide it either. The Evil Dragon's Eye is indeed in my hands. This thing is useless to me, whoever offers a higher price, I will sell it to that person, it's that simple. Of course, whoever buys the Evil Dragon's Eye, I also hope you can agree to a small request of mine."
Su Wenbao's treasure is in his hands, and the three of them are completely finished.
Soren and the other two exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming solemn.
The Dragon's Eye is no ordinary treasure, such a sacred object would cost several hundred million dollars.
"Mr. Sorensen, don't let everyone be silent, start with you. What kind of price can Sotheby's give me compared to an auction house?"
"Mr. Su, I've discussed it with the Council of Elders and they've made two conditions. First, if you're willing to consign the Dragon's Eye to us, we'll only take a 1% commission. Second, if you plan to sell the Dragon's Eye to our auction house, we can offer a price of $500 million."
Su Wen nodded: "What about you two?"
Beck thought for a moment and said: "Our Luxembourg auction house only conducts acquisitions, at a price of 600 million US dollars."
Saunders chimed in, "We at Christie's are the opposite. There's a lot of hype around this piece, but nobody knows what it will actually sell for. We don't want to take on that risk, but we also don't want to pass up the opportunity."
"As mentioned earlier, if Mr. Su Wen is willing to put the Evil Dragon's Eye up for auction at our Christie's Auction House, we can waive all commission fees for Mr. Su Wen, which means we will help Mr. Su Wen auction off the Evil Dragon's Eye for free."
Su Wen thought for a moment after the three finished speaking, "I'm not very familiar with the Western world. If we were to auction it off, when would I be able to get the money? How many procedures would I need to go through? What kind of risks would I need to take on? There are too many variables in between, and I don't have time to wait. So from the beginning, I had planned to sell the Evil Dragon's Eye directly instead of auctioning it off. Sorry Mr. Sayarte, thank you for the kindness of the Kristy Auction House. If there's anything else that needs to be auctioned off in the future, I will definitely consider your auction house first."
Saiyate smiled and didn't mind.
"As for Beike and Suoleng, your acquisition prices are 500 million US dollars and 600 million US dollars respectively. If there's no change, I can only sell it to the one who bids the highest." Su Wen was very straightforward, he wasn't particularly concerned about the Evil Dragon's Eye, so when it came to a deal involving hundreds of millions of dollars, he appeared very calm.
"Su Wen, wait for a moment, I'll ask the Council of Elders again."
"Alright."
A few minutes later, Soren hung up the phone: "The final decision of the Yuan Lao Hui is that Su's Auction House can also bid 600 million US dollars. I don't know if Mr. Su can sell the Evil Dragon's Eye to our auction house?"
Su Wen shook his head upon hearing this: "Sorry, if it's just 600 million US dollars, I can only sell to the Luxembourg auction house. After all, they were the first to offer this price."
Soren nodded: "Understandable, congratulations Beike, this time you acquired the Evil Dragon's Eye, your status in the family has risen."
Beck smiled and looked at Su Wen: "Nice doing business with you!"
Su Wen smiled back: "Nice doing business with you, remember that little request I made just now?"
"Hmm, I don't know what's required?"
"In the future, if someone asks or when you hold an auction at your Luxembourg auction house, be sure to say that this Evil Dragon's Eye was purchased from Jibaozhai."
Baek was taken aback, he had no idea what Jibao Pawnshop was.
