Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Zero

"Ma’am we can’t let you in. You either need to buy a ticket or be someone’s companion before we can let you in!" The Guard said to the girl in front of him.

The Auction House was huge and to ensure that no one other than those with auction tickets entered, there were two huge doors.

One was open to all where the ticket is checked and only after the guard on the first gate signals to the guards on the second gate, which is a few 100 meters away, will the second gate’s guard let the person in.

"You don’t know me! I am backed by the Chu Family! And didn’t I tell you? I am Miss Chu’s companion!" A frustrated girl’s voice sounded and Gu Jin instantly knew who the girl was.

Huang Li.

The guard said coldly,

"Just turn around and look behind you. Many people just like you claim to be from the Chu Family. Until and unless you are the inner disciple of Chu Family we can’t let you in."

"You!" Huang Li was choked with anger.

She looked around and indeed saw many people who were asking others to let them be their companions.

Disdain appeared in her eyes.

How could she, Huang Li, beg others?

"Now move aside if you don’t want us to throw you away. God knows from where people like you come!" The guard said

Huang Li saw that the guard wasn’t just threatening and would really throw her away and hence she reluctantly moved on one side.

Gu Jin ignored her and showed her ticket to the guards.

The guard checked her ticket and nodded at the guard stationed at the inner gate.

After reaching the signal, the guard at the inner gate nodded at Gu Jin.

Huang Li saw their interaction and instantly stood in front of Gu Jin with a shy smile.

"Hello, handsome! What is your name? I am Huang Li, I am backed by the Chu Family but due to some miscommunication, I am not able to enter the auction house for the time being, could you please let me..."

However even before she could finish her words Gu Jin ignored her and directly said,

"No."

Gu Jin entered the auction house and went to her designated seat.

The seat beside her was empty since two seats were allotted to each person.

Time passed and only 10 minutes were remaining for the auction to be started. Gu Jin had been sitting in a cold atmosphere for the past 20 minutes and now her bladder was asking her to visit the washroom.

So she did and came back but to her surprise when she returned to her seat, there was someone who was sitting on the seat beside her seat.

Gu Jin sat on her seat,

"That is my companion’s seat please leave."

The middle-aged man sitting on the seat was surprised and asked,

"What?"

"Leave that seat." Gu Jin said coldly.

People around Gu Jin looked at her in confusion.

The middle-aged man came out of his surprise,

"Let me sit here and I will give you 10 million. Also, pretend as if I don’t exist and prevent others from sitting here."

"Hm?" Gu Jin was about to scold him for being a scammer, but a ring was tossed to her.

Gu Jin instantly recognized it.

Storage Ring!

With a dubious look, Gu Jin looked inside and was delighted.

There were 1000 magic stones!

1000 magic stones!

Gu Jin smiled happily and ignored the middle-aged man.

God is great! She said in her mind.

She lost 1 million and earned 10 million! What a great scheme.

The auction started and Gu Jin focused her attention on the stage.

One by one various items were auctioned and Gu Jin was surprised by the price for which they were sold.

Spirit Grade Magic tools sold for 150 million!

So the Magic Shield, Yun Jing gave her was worth 150 million?

Gu Jin’s eyes brightened.

Earth Rank potions were sold for 1 million.

Various beast cores were sold too.

There were also a few Mystic Seeds too.

What made Gu Jin bitter was the top family’s financial power.

Even after spending 300 million, they still have the same vigor!

"Next up we have Twin Frost Drake Core. Twin Frost Drake is one of the important ingredients to make Mana restoration pills..."

Gu Jin instantly became attentive.

Forst Drake Core though rare and costly, only appears in auction houses.

Even though she didn’t know the meaning of Twin Frost Drake Core, since it had Frost Drake then it would be helpful for Little Kai!

She has to get it!

"The bid will start from 15 million." The host said.

"16 million!"

"16.5 million!"

"17 million!"

"17.5 million!"

"19 million!"

After 19 million, almost no one continued to bid.

Gu Jin kept a stone on her heart and said,

"19.5 million!"

Many people were stunned.

After all a beast core though valuable wasn’t of much use to a Mage.

Only armament masters or alchemy master needs such ingredients.

"Does no one want to bid further?

19.5 million, one!

19.5 million, two!

19.5 million, three!

The Twin Frost Drake Core goes to the handsome young man sitting at seat no. 26! Now next up we have..."

Gu Jin heaved a sigh of relief.

Now she has to focus on buying Mystic Seed.

Two plants Mystic Seed was going to be auctioned today.

She compared the pros and cons and concluded that the Plant Mystic Seed that was going to be sold later was much more profitable for her.

Originally it would have been difficult for her to get her hands on a High-level Mystic Seeds, but thanks to the guy sitting beside her, she was now rich enough to buy one.

As for why he did that?

Gu Jin later noticed that only she was the one who could see, if not for the storage ring, she might have thought that the middle-aged man was a ghost.
