Why not?
Regarding the manager's kind reminder, Su Ce smiled and nodded at her. He was about to say that he would leave the weapon to the auction house to auction. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Zhiling, who was standing at the side, spoke excitedly.
"Don't auction Su Ce's crossbow. I happen to lack a decent weapon. Why don't you sell it to me?" Looking at the hand crossbow in the manager's hands, Zhang Zhiling couldn't help coveting it.
Although using bows and arrows wasn't bad, there were quite a few restrictions.
Archery with a bow required a lot of physical and mental effort.
But hand crossbows were different. People could fire them with just a gentle push of the trigger.
Coupled with the fact that it weighed less than a kilogram, it could completely liberate the archer's flexibility.
It could be said to be the best choice for kiting monsters and PVP.
Looking at Zhang Zhiling's fiery eyes, Su Ce smiled. "No problem. As long as you can afford the price of three hundred thousand dollars, everything is negotiable."
He welcomed such a buyer who came knocking on his door.
After all, without the auction process, Su Ce only needed to pay 1% of the fee to sell the hand crossbow.
At the same time, he wouldn't have to wait for the auction, allowing him to buy the master-level appraisal scroll immediately, which was simply great.
In the sales area, when Zhang Zhiling heard Su Ce's price, his originally excited face instantly turned bitter.
Although it was true that he was a descendant of an aristocratic family, most of the family's finances were in the hands of the family head and elders.
Zhang Zhiling was only a branch descendant. Even though he lived a luxurious life, he couldn't really touch the family's money.
His allowance was only tens of thousands of dollars a month.
Even though he had the habit of saving money, in the face of the sky-high price of 300,000 dollars, it wouldn't be enough even if he maxed out all his credit cards.
But the hand crossbow with two special effects was right in front of him. How could he let someone else obtain this treasure?
As Zhang Zhiling was thinking, he thought of something.
He would borrow money from Su Ce.
He now had 180,000 dollars in savings. If Su Ce was willing to sell the hand crossbow to him for 180,000 dollars, he would write Su Ce a promissory note for the remaining 120,000.
He still had a chance to get his hands on the hand crossbow with two special effects.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiling immediately walked to Su Ce with an embarrassed expression and discussed with him in a low voice.
"Sure, since we're classmates, I can naturally help you with this. However, the promissory note of one hundred and twenty thousand dollars isn't a small sum after all. I have to collect interest." Su Ce immediately pointed at the small incense burner in Zhang Zhiling's hands and smiled.
When Zhang Zhiling walked over, Su Ce had already noticed this item in his hands.
But at the time, his attention had been on the master-level appraisal scroll, and he didn't have any thoughts about it.
However, the situation was different now.
He could open the tooltip of the small incense burner openly and check it carefully.
[Magic Flame Incense Burner]
Quality: Silver
Type: Trap
Basic Effect: Fatal Attraction (After opening the lid, the incense burner will immediately emit a fragrance that is fatally attractive to monsters. Effective range: 500 meters.)
He could guess that the reason why Zhang Zhiling came to the auction house was to sell this item because he was a ranged Professional, so he wasn't interested in this thing that could attract monsters. It might even be dangerous for him to use it.
But Su Ce didn't have this problem. On the contrary, every time he summoned a dragon, he often felt that the monsters around him were too scattered and that it wasn't easy to deal with them all.
After all, he couldn't use a forbidden spell every time he encountered an enemy. It was very likely that innocent people would be injured.
The tsunami earlier was the best example.
In Carrie Auction House, Zhang Zhiling immediately agreed without hesitation when he heard that Su Ce was willing to sell him the hand crossbow with part of the payment as a promissory note and that the interest would only be a silver-quality furnace.
He looked as if he was afraid that Su Ce would go back on his word.
Regarding this, although the manager was a little disappointed, in order to retain the customers, she quickly completed the procedures for the two of them and resolutely decided not to accept a single cent in fees.
In this way, Su Ce received 180,000 dollars in cash from Zhang Zhiling's card, plus a promissory note of 120,000 dollars.
At the same time, he also obtained a furnace that could gather monsters.
On the other hand, although Zhang Zhiling had spent all his money, the hand crossbow in his inventory didn't make him sad at all. He even had an excited smile on his face.
"Congratulations, sir. It looks like you've found a suitable client," the manager said humorously.
"Thank you for your service. When I obtain any equipment or skill books in the future, I will come to Carrie as always," Su Ce said seriously.
Then after receiving the transfer of 48,000 dollars for the sale of his equipment, Su Ce immediately paid 380,000 dollars to buy the scroll made by Master Nohara.
After buying the scroll, the wallet in Su Ce's pocket deflated again.
His balance was only enough for him to stay in a four-star hotel for one night.
After a while, the salesperson who had left earlier trotted back and said to Si Ce respectfully, "Sir, you have completed an order of more than three hundred thousand dollars at Carrie Auction House, and your transaction amount has exceeded five hundred thousand dollars. For this reason, our auction house has specially upgraded your savings card to a black card that surpasses a gold card.
"From now on, you will enjoy a ten percent discount on all materials and equipment purchased from our auction house other than auction items. You will also enjoy additional privileges such as home delivery and birthday specials."
"Thank you for taking care of me. I will continue to visit Carrie in the future."
After thanking the manager and salesperson, Su Ce patted Zhang Zhiling on the shoulder and left Carrie Auction House with a smile. "It was a pleasure doing business with you. Prepare the money you owe me first, and then you can call me and pay off everything in a few months."
Meanwhile, Zhang Zhiling was still holding the hand crossbow with a silly smile on his face, looking like someone who had found love.
After leaving the auction house, Su Ce spread his arms and breathed in the fresh air around him.
He looked at the time, then immediately walked toward the four-star hotel he had stayed at yesterday.
With a hot potato in his pocket, Su Ce planned to use the master-level appraisal scroll immediately after going to the hotel.
After entering the hotel, he took out his ID, swiped his card, and got the same room as he did yesterday.
Returning to the familiar room, he saw that the bedroom had new sheets and blankets. He immediately locked the door and took out the platinum-quality staff from his inventory.
Su Ce took a deep breath and prayed silently in his heart for a moment. He knew that platinum-quality equipment were basically not bad, but he still hoped that the equipment after appraisal would be worth more than twice the value of the scroll.
Otherwise, he would suffer a loss.
After mentally preparing himself, he immediately slowly opened the parchment scroll.
A gentle white light appeared from the inscription, and Su Ce immediately shone it on the staff.
The white light was gentle and holy, and the inscription gradually became blurry under the light.
