Chapter 551: Offline, In-Person Auction

Recluse Study kept waiting for others to ask about his gossip so that he could spill everything.

However, his uncle had just entered the group. Not only did Recluse Study not dare to share his gossip happily, but he also felt that he had closed up completely.

Yun Xi did not bother with this issue but started speaking to Lin Yuan in the chat.

Stream in the Cloud: “@Deep Mountain Elder Lin, group admin, your group welfare this time was so good. Why don’t we stop auctioning in the group chat?”

Stream in the Cloud: “We could go to the Purchase With No Loss store to hold a heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl auction.”

Lin Yuan was just about to stop the constantly refreshing group notifications and conduct the group welfare auction on heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

However, upon seeing Stream in the Cloud’s words, he only felt annoyed.

The 12 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were to be auctioned as a bundle in the group welfare auction.

Hence, they could only be considered one auction good.

Auctioning one good was already enough to throw the entire Purchase With No Loss store into a state of restlessness.

Moreover, the Purchase With No Loss store was a one-star store. Although the store had long accumulated enough points, Lin Yuan had still not upgraded it all this time.

If everyone congregated in the small area of the Purchase With No Loss store, wouldn’t it become a ‘primary school class gathering’?

Lin Yuan was about to say that the auction would be carried out in the group chat when he realized that.

Almost everyone in the group agreed with Stream in the Cloud’s—in other words, the braised egg head’s—opinion.

Amongst those who entered the Purchase With No Loss store first, Buddha-Tempered Person, Violent-Tempered Woman, and Zhou Jiaxin all @ Lin Yuan.

They hoped that he could regard this group welfare auction as a networking activity for members of the Purchase With No Loss store’s fan group.

Lin Yuan was fine with it as he didn’t have anything urgent to attend to at the moment.

Since the members had been chatting for so long in the group and were so eager to take this as an opportunity to get to know each other, Lin Yuan was naturally willing to grant and create this opportunity.

Deep Mountain Elder Lin: “Everyone, come to the Purchase With No Loss store then. I’ll open the entry access.”

After issuing this news, Lin Yuan hurriedly visited a Star Web furniture store near his Purchase With No Loss store and bought 100 common wooden chairs.

These chairs cost 200 Federation dollars each and could only be used within Star Web. They could be considered the most common piece of furniture on Star Web.

When Lin Yuan had first opened the Purchase With No Loss store, he had come to this same furniture store to see furniture.

Back then, he had been itching to spend a penny as 100 dollars, so he had been really reluctant to buy such useless furniture.

Now, Lin Yuan wanted to buy so many useless wooden chairs in one go because he thought that there was nothing inside his store. He couldn’t possibly make all the group members coming to the store to participate in the group welfare auction stand, could he?

After Lin Yuan had bought the chairs and returned to his store, there were already 20 to 30 group members waiting inside.

He quickly began arranging his newly bought chairs.

Upon seeing this, Listen immediately walked to Lin Yuan’s side.

Because Lin Yuan was wearing the mask engraved with the majestic sky city on his face, Listen could not clearly see the former’s expression.

However, just by looking at Lin Yuan’s eyes, Listen knew that he was in a good mood.

While Listen was helping Lin Yuan arrange the chairs, Zhou Jiaxin and Violent-Tempered Woman entered.

They joined Lin Yuan and Listen in arranging the chairs neatly in the Purchase With No Loss store.

As others saw Lin Yuan wearing his strange mask, they could not help but think that he was a strange person.

This was especially true for the newly-joined group members, who really couldn’t understand how someone who could easily produce 9.9 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls would use the tables that Star Web gave for free upon opening one’s own store and Star Web’s 200-Federation dollar wooden chairs.

Was this what it meant to hide one’s wealth from others?

However, no matter how one looked at it, the store’s shabby decoration did not appear to match what the truly rich did to conceal their wealth.

In contrast, it looked like it was deliberately pretending to be poor.

Recluse Study did not directly enter the Purchase With No Loss store. Instead, he stood at its entrance with his head lowered, waiting for Duan He to arrive.

At that moment, Recluse Study heard a familiar cough in his ear.

“Li Xiaotiao! You eavesdropped on what I said and even told it to others! Are you waiting for me to tell your mother to give you a beating?”

Recluse Study smacked his lips and replied upon hearing this, “Uncle, I must formally inform you that although you are my uncle and like a father to me... I still have my own father! He’s called Li Benggao!”

Duan He had originally been rather upset.

However, Duan He felt so furious that he felt like fainting upon hearing Li Xiaotiao’s mocking words.

Even though Duan He was an emperor-class expert, he felt so angry that he couldn’t control his rage.

Duan He replied angrily, “Let’s go in to participate in the auction first. I must snatch up those 12 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. Stop wasting time.

“About your eavesdropping, wait till I get home and let your mother teach you a lesson!”

Although Duan He often got angry at Li Xiaotiao, he never could bring himself to give the latter a beating himself.

Nevertheless, Duan He still had his ways of dealing with Li Xiaotiao. As long as he got home and spoke to his sister about Li Xiaotiao’s trouble-making behavior, Li Xiaotiao wouldn’t be able to escape from a half-an-hour beating from her.

Maybe they would even give Li Xiaotiao a ‘mixed doubles’ beating.

Li Xiaotiao smacked his lips and knew that he was in for it when he got home later.

Anyway, he was used to it by now.

Recalling that his uncle was about to auction for the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, Li Xiaotiao quickly said, “Uncle, let me help you bid for you during the group welfare auction later! Anyway, there’s no difference between my bid and yours.”

During the duo’s conversation, they had already stepped into the Purchase With No Loss store.

However, Li Xiaotiao noticed that his uncle had not spoken for a long time.

He couldn’t help but reach out to scratch his head.

It couldn’t be! Even if his uncle was angry, he couldn’t possibly refuse his own nephew a request like this!

Li Xiaotiao tugged at Duan He’s sleeves, but his uncle still didn’t respond. He raised his head in puzzlement, only to realize that his uncle was staring straight ahead.

Li Xiaotiao followed Duan He’s gaze. His uncle was looking at a young man wearing a strange mask with an unreadable expression on his face.
