Chapter 5 The poor get out of the master suite

Xinhu Restaurant is located in the east of Hongshan City. Walk along the north-south Qingshui Road in the city to the Independence Square, and then walk eastward along the east-west Changjian Street to the east, and you can see a clear lake and the shade of green trees by the lake. A round island in the lake is connected by four long bridges. In the center of the island is a magnificent palace with the main entrance facing south. Twelve white jade pillars support the dark red dome.

In Hongshan City, where every inch of land is valuable and the crowded population, this small lake island seems to be a quiet paradise. However, when Bai Xiao came outside the hotel, the entrance of the four long bridges was already crowded. A gorgeous counter blocked the surging crowd dozens of meters in front of the entrance, and did not make any progress. Behind the counter, there was a very conspicuous sign with the words: Today's housing prices.

Standard room: RMB 8912

Lake view room: 12,140 yuan

Standard Suite: RMB 18,723

...

Grandmaster Suite: Starting price: 158,888 yuan

The specific numbers are jumping and changing almost every moment, and they are constantly increasing in value. Only the price of the Grandmaster Suite is fixed, but the starting price of the three words means that its price limit is far more than that.

Bai Xiao was shocked to see this price. Thanks to Bai Wuya's tutoring before leaving, Bai Xiao knew a little about the prices in the southern continent. Ordinary families earned only about tens of thousands of silver dollars a year. This Grandmaster's suite actually costs nearly 160,000 yuan in one night!?

The sky-high price of Xinhu Restaurant has also aroused heated discussion among locals.

"The influence of this talented girl is really extraordinary. In just a few days, the housing prices have increased by almost five times."

"These wealthy families are so generous. Just to allow their children to meet the woman one day earlier and say hello to throw hundreds of thousands of silver dollars in without blinking."

"It's not just the influence of that girl. I heard that the genius master of the Lu family also moved into the Grandmaster's Suite. So if you stay in Xinhu Restaurant during the exam days, you may meet two geniuses at the same time. By doing so, it would be reasonable to increase the housing price by five times. If you were to other times, even if you had a net worth of millions, you might not be able to see you directly."

"Hey, that's strange. Isn't the Lu family just in this city? The family's mansion is no less grand than the Xinhu Restaurant. Why do you want to live here specifically?"

"What do you think? Of course it is for the Demon Princess named Qingyue! She is possessed by her peerless talent and was accepted as a closed disciple in advance by the great master Zhu Junshen. She has no background. Such a girl is a popular product in the eyes of wealthy families."

"The young master of the Lu family wants to pursue Qingyue? No wonder... But only the Lu family wants to pursue him, so the other demon families are not moved?"

"Of course I'm tempted, otherwise in how many days will this Grand Master Suite rise to this sky-high price? 160,000 yuan a day, about seven days of the exam period, and at least one million silver dollars will be added. No matter how generous the family is, they will not waste million silver dollars. It is said that a few days ago, the young masters of the Zhang family and Li family lived here specially, and the Li family even fought with the Lu family, which directly pushed the starting price of the Grand Master Suite by 50%!"

"A beauty is a disaster, but it is a disaster for beauty."

"Haha, brother, please be careful when speaking. Many of us who are watching the fun are coming here for Qingyue."

These two people are right. Bai Xiao made a special trip to come for Qingyue. After listening to their conversation, Bai Xiao's heart had a strong fighting spirit.

Everything was not as expected by Bai Wuya. Qingyue was the curse daughter in the mountains, but when she arrived in the southern continent, she immediately became shining. When Bai Xiao arrived in the southern continent, the biggest challenge was not actually how to awaken Qingyue's memory.

But how to face thousands of competitors.

If it were an ordinary person, even if he was not scared at this moment, at least the pressure would increase. However, Bai Xiao only felt that he was in high spirits and was happier than before going down the mountain.

The more competitors there are, the more dazzling his victory can be!

If there is any extra point for a woman as flawless as Qingyue... it is obviously a group of overestimating suitors around her!

For a moment, Bai Xiao even wanted to thank Zhu Junshen. If it weren't for his turmoil, Bai Xiao would never have felt the pleasure of defeating countless competitors and holding a beautiful woman back.

While thinking, Bai Xiao separated the crowd and came to the counter in front of the entrance of Changqiao, and said straight to the point: "I want the room next to Qingyue."

"ha!?"

Behind the counter, the beautiful service girl was stunned and subconsciously hiccupped.

Most of the people who come to Xinhu Restaurant to stay these days are to directly or indirectly get in touch with that Qingyue, but it is as straightforward as the young man in front of you, and it is truly unique!

Thanks to the well-trained service staff at Xinhu Restaurant, the girl immediately restrained her expression and changed into a formulaic smile: "Sir, hiccup, do you want to book a Grand Master's Suite? Unfortunately... hiccup, there are no rooms available today, hiccup, you can bid for the room tomorrow night."

During the admission examination of Hongshan College, such as Xinhu Restaurant, where there are extremely popular places among powerful families, they often face the problem of too many monks and less porridge. All the powerful gather in Hongshan City, and each one is a perfect overlord in their respective territory. How can they stay in a second-class suite? But there are only two Grandmaster suites in total, and it is impossible to become more numerous out of thin air, so an auction system eventually emerged. When the supply of rooms is in short supply, the restaurant will take out the next day's room for auction, and the price will be higher. At the same time, in order to avoid too concentrated resources, guests can only bid for one day at a time, so every day's auction will make the powerful and powerful fight for the battle, and the restaurant will make a lot of money.

"Hi, sir, you need to write down the bid amount here. After the bidding session is over at 6 pm this afternoon, we will notify the party with the highest bid as soon as possible. However, for non-VIP members, we need you to provide all funds when participating in the bidding, and the low price for the auction is no less than half of the transaction amount the previous day, which means the starting price of today is 158,888 yuan. So, are you sure you want to bid for Grandmaster Suite?"

At the end, the girl finally calmed down the spasm of the diaphragm and replied to the formulaic voice that was strictly trained. A hint of coldness was hidden in her cordial eyes. She was waiting for the young man to return in disappointment.

During the exam period every year, the ownership of the Grandmaster Suite of Xinhu Restaurant will become the focus of the whole city, so the counter will naturally be harassed by idle people, inquire, gossip, marriage, and malicious bidding. In the early days, the counter even received bids of 9.8 billion silver dollars. Therefore, unless you are certified VIP customers in the restaurant, you must invest in advance when participating in the auction. This is enough to block 99% of the people.

Of course, the young man in front of him, who was wearing animal skin and a local look, could not afford the sky-high price of room rates, so he was already classified as idle by girls. Such people have a high enthusiasm for inquiries, and their enthusiasm for investment is as empty as their wallets.

However, the next moment, a crystal clear gem fell on the table.

"I don't have cash, can I use gems to pay for the price?"

The rigorous training that the service girl had undergone in the restaurant played a role at this moment. She nodded subconsciously and replied: "Of course, we have cooperation with Hongjin Store, and we can purchase various precious ores at the market price. The identification is also under the responsibility of Hongjin Store, which can ensure justice, so... hiccup!"

The next moment, the girl's convulsion that had just calmed down occurred again. Her eyes were shining with strange light, and her eyes were firmly locked on the gem that Bai Xiao put down.

What you need to work in Xinhu Restaurant is vision. Those who come and see the top powers in the world, so you can see many gold, silver and jewelry. But the round and flawless gems in front of you, and there is a gem that wanders like a dragon in it, which is extremely rare!

The Tears of Dragons are said to be transformed from the tears of divine beasts in ancient times. They are mysterious and versatile. For ordinary people, the faint light in the gems means powerful vitality that can revive the dead, and for the demons, it means extremely clear and abundant magical energy.

No matter who it is, it is a priceless treasure. The girl once saw a master of magic who sold a dragon's tears as big as a finger in the red gold store. The light was dim and there were cracks on the surface. The price was 80,000 silver dollars.

The one in front of me is flawless, with clear and full light, and the price is...

"You, hiccup, you wait a moment, estimate the price, hiccup, it takes, it takes time."

The girl resisted the throbbing in her heart, took out an exquisite balance from under the counter, and then carried out a small screen to cover the balance, ensuring that those onlookers could not see the valuation process. Finally, she wore gloves and placed Dragon Tears on one end of the balance. At the same time, four golden weights appeared out of thin air at the other end, trying to suppress the balance.

The girl's eyelids twitched. Each of these golden weights represented 100,000 silver dollars. However, when the 400,000 silver dollars fell, the balance still deflected towards the Dragon Tears! Then, two more golden weights and three silver weights fell, and the balance was barely recovered. In the end, several bronze weights fell, and the situation was finally stabilized.

"Total, total estimated price, 780,000, hiccup, 1,000 silver dollars." The girl looked at Bai Xiao again at this time and felt that the rural temperament of this mountain boy was so friendly and his bronzed skin was so charming that the formulaic smile was full of enthusiasm and sincerity. "You can store the treasure here. As long as the auction price is not higher than the valuation, we will return the difference after the transaction, so..."

"No need to make a difference, just like that." Bai Xiao was determined, but his posture seemed calm and gentle. So the burly figure became taller in the eyes of the girl.

Although there is no exquisite and gorgeous silk and satin, nor the fair skin that the world praises, this pure and natural rough animal skin, combined with bronze skin, has a unique temperament...

The intoxication in my heart did not affect the girl's professional quality. After carefully accepting Dragon Tears, the girl said again: "I will fill in the bidding application form for you. Which family are you from?"

"Bai-clothed tribe, Bai Xiao."

"Mr. Bai? OK, please keep this key. We will announce the auction results at 6 pm. If you successfully bid, the key will automatically become a suite key. You can cross the long bridge to enter the restaurant with the key. If you unfortunately fail to bid successfully, you can come here to collect your auction gold with this item..."

"No need, I'll just wait here."

If anyone else is a newcomer, he would inevitably want to wander around Hongshan City. This city has a history of 1,800 years, witnessed the independence of the Western Continent and the fall of the first dynasty, and has a deep historical imprint. The urban population alone is more than two million in the city wall, and the population of villages and towns outside the wall is several times higher than that. The prosperity and prosperity are the most important part of the Western Continent. There is also a world-famous magic academy in the city...

However, Bai Xiao had no interest in these things, he only cared about Qingyue.

So after getting the auction certificate, he went back to the crowd behind him and looked at the island in the lake with his height advantage. As for the discussions around him, he turned a deaf ear. Bai Wuya once said that when you spend money wildly on the southern continent, people around you will worship you like a god. A person's energy is limited, so it is impossible to respond to the prayers of people around him one by one, so just pretend that they didn't hear it.

Although the prayers of southerners are a bit strange.

"Tsk tsk, he is another nouveau riche who is overestimating his abilities, 160,000 silver dollars, just to meet Qingyue? Do you really think that people will fall in love with him for that little bit of stinky money?"

"It's a joke. The 160,000 silver dollar is the lowest price for the auction. The transaction price yesterday exceeded 300,000. With his devastating behavior in his animal skin, he can afford 300,000 silver dollars?"

"No, no, no, I think this person is simply sensational. I don't know which usury borrowed the 160,000 silver dollar from the Ultimate loan company and got a certificate key. After that, as long as the auction expires, the principal will be retrieved, and then the loan will be paid back. The interest rate is only a few thousand silver dollars. Use several thousand silver dollars to attract attention. Now many traffic students like to do this kind of thing."

"It's also that Miss Qingyue's influence is too strong. As long as you have a little relationship with her, you can enjoy it endlessly. I remember that before Qingyue moved in, the Zhang family made an arrangement in advance and just grabbed her room the day before. When the key was handed over, she met Miss Qingyue, said hello, and had afternoon tea with Dean Zhu who sent her over. The room fee he paid at that time was only more than 30,000 silver dollars. Do you think this business is worth it?"

"You can have tea and chat with the Grandmaster, even if you have 100,000 silver dollars, it's a pity that there is no such good thing now. Not to mention that the price has been hyped up by several wealthy families, even if you really get a bargain and take a picture of the Grandmaster's suite, do you really dare to move in? In the past few days, even the Zhang family has stopped competing with the Lu family. Are others not afraid of the Lu family's revenge? Besides, even if you move in, will Miss Qingyue take care of you? I'm afraid it's not that you want to backfire."

"I heard that on the first day of Miss Qingyue's stay, the one who took the photo of her suite opposite her was the young master of the Li family. As a result, he was driven out after only a while after getting the key. He spent tens of thousands of silver dollars but became a laughing stock in Hongshan City. It is said that he originally planned to apply for Hongshan College, but now he has changed his mind to go to Dongli City to try his luck."

"Haha, what would happen if this barbarian really took a picture of the suite and lived in with great courage, and saw Qingyue?"

...

Amid the sour discussions of the crowd, Bai Xiao remained motionless and silently waited for the moment when the auction results were announced. At the same time, looking at the central island from afar, thinking about whether he could see Qingyue one step earlier.

The Snow Mountain Hunter has excellent eyesight. Even though the place where he is located is nearly a thousand meters away from the island's main hall, everything on the island is still visible, so Bai Xiao clearly saw the magic priests in the south.

According to the records in the book, the Demon Way has a history of 2,600 years in the southern continent. It is not the oldest power of mankind, but it is the most effective force proved to have been proven to be after the dynasty changes and civilizations rise and fall. The people in the south rely on the power of the Demon Way to defeat countless natural disasters and man-made disasters and established a prosperous civilized world. In the Ice Cave of the Holy Mountain, Zhu Junshen also demonstrated the divine power of the Demon Way to Apocalypse for him.

Bai Xiao was still a little curious about the devil's way, especially Qingyue came to the southern continent to learn the devil's way. In Bai Xiao's opinion, the so-called devil's way is indeed some tricks.

At least the magicians on the island have demonstrated the magical powers of flying in the sky, collecting objects from the sky, calling for the five elements, turning stones into gold, etc., which are of various types. From a delicate and fancy perspective, they are far better than the tribe's magic technique.

Unfortunately, I have never seen Qingyue.

I don’t know if she has been in seclusion in the room to prepare for the exam, or if she hasn’t come back at all... But since she is sure that she lives here, as long as she keeps guarding here, she can always see her.

Snow Mountain Hunter has never lacked patience.

Before he knew it, the crowd around him had changed and the sun above his head gradually sinks to the horizon. Bai Xiao did not wait for Qingyue to appear, but waited until the key in his hand changed color.

Accompanied by a crisp jingle, Bai Xiao's key changed from golden to translucent, which means his bid was successful.

With the auction amount confidential, Bai Xiao's price that was more than twice the previous transaction date was so naturally successful.

Bai Xiao didn't hesitate, picked up the key and stepped forward. The girl behind the counter warmly welcomed: "Welcome Mr. Bai to Xinhu Restaurant. Your room will be ready at noon tomorrow, but now you can rest in the restaurant VIP room first..."

Bai Xiao turned a blind eye and his pace was getting faster and faster.

No matter how good the hunter is, it is limited to the time when the hunting comes. When it is time to take action, he will be faster and more decisive than anyone else!

The scenery on the Changqiao is a magnificent spectacle that Xinhu Restaurant is proud of. When you walk across the Changqiao, you can see completely different scenery from the partitions on both sides. From 1,800 years ago to today, you can witness the Hongshan City from a wilderness to prosperity and prosperity.

Unfortunately, Bai Xiao turned a blind eye to all this. The storm and cloud changes in 1800 were instantly left behind. Bai Xiao's footsteps fell on the lake island and heard a riot sound from the gate of the palace in front of him.

"Miss Qingyue, you don't have to hurry to leave. Check out will be tomorrow... And this must be something wrong, how can you squeeze you out of the suite?"

"That's right, I don't know where the things that don't understand the rules come from are randomly bidding. Miss Qingyue, don't leave, we will definitely help you with justice..."

After that, Bai Xiao heard the girl's voice that was obsessed with.

"The rule of Xinhu Restaurant is that those with higher prices will get the best. Two suites are in the third place, so of course I should leave. Besides, the teacher arranged for me to check in here to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, not to show off my wealth and compete. The housing prices have doubled in the past few days, and my pocket money has bottomed out, and I can't read much. I really want to thank the friend who bought a suite at a sky-high price, which can finally calm me down."

Bai Xiao listened from afar, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
