Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

In the appraisal room.

Soon, the goblin ran back. He brought along an old man with pink skin and a white beard.

“Ladies, this is the Master Appraiser of the Sauron Auction Center Shenluo West City, Area 27 branch, Master Brahman. He assesses the high-end items that I am not able to assess.” The goblin introduced politely.

“Anyone will do,” Li Nianwei said in her rough voice. “I only care about the attributes of this item, and how much they can be sold for. I’m not interested in the rest.”

Tang Muxin looked at Master Brahman carefully. There was a glow in this old man’s face. The clothes he wore were flashy and didn’t look cheap. It seemed his status was quite high. There was a hint of arrogance on his face. That was the natural pride of those who were at the top of any industry.

“Miss, you should put your legs down.” Brahman looked at Li Nianwei disdainfully. Although such top-grade stones might come from a strong backing, Sauron Auction Center would not care about such a nobody—people who worked with the auction center were mostly business giants, not people who turned up out of the blue.

Even Galaxy Aristocrat Miss Qianxue was here, others naturally could not be compared to her standard.

“None of your business.” Li Nianwei sniffled. “You’re here to assess the gemstones, not my legs.”

Tang Muxin and Ling Xiaoyi both held in their laughter. Sister Nianwei’s acting was simply too good, haha!

Although Brahman said that, but he was carefully observing the three of them.

In this world, any gemstones with the best attributes were something all the families were after. After all, in the universe, the higher their strength, the more likely they would be able to stay alive while exploring. If they could return safely from a dangerous expedition, it was hard to say how much they would be able to gain from it.

“En, this stone looks top-grade, indeed.” He took a simple glance. Seeing Li Nianwei’s attitude towards him, Brahman didn’t say more. He began to look carefully at the stone. “This stone looks top-grade. It should have been densely formed by countless intertwined microfibrous crystallites. Speaking of which, it is the first time I’ve seen such a composition. There is plenty of energy within…”

As he spoke, he took out a detector device that was much more advanced than the one the goblin had used before. After careful assessment, he was shocked. He looked at Li Nianwei again, the pride that could be seen in his face turned to respect for Li Nianwei. “This stone is of good quality and has strong energy fluctuations. According to my analysis, this is a top-grade gemstone with Strength +12. Especially since it is such a big piece… Good, it’s a good item!”

Since Brahman said this was a Strength +12, Tang Muxin and the others let out a sigh of relief—not bad, not bad. It seemed they did not have to worry about not being able to sell it.

“En, look at the other four gemstones as well.” Li Nianwei commanded in her tough voice. “These four gemstones do not only have Strength attributes.”

“Oh? They have different attributes? The other stones are the same grade as this one?!” Hearing that, Brahman got excited. He smiled and said, “Okay, please wait for a moment.”

He began assessing the other stones. The more he looked at them, the more shocked he got. When he finished assessing all the stones, Brahman was completely dumbfounded. “This… this… three Strength +12, one Agility +13, and one Reflexes +12?! All five stones are top-grade attribute stones?! And they are so big?!”

Hearing that, Tang Muxin almost laughed out loud.

Hong Dali had given these stones away like rubbish on Earth. To think they became top-grade items here. Aiyaya, this world was too amazing!

Actually, Tang Muxin was not too sure—towards the people around him, Hong Dali took special care of them. Hence, their attributes were all rather high. He even imbued them further. The jades he gave to the others on Earth were probably not as good.

“You talk too much.” Li Nianwei swayed her legs proudly. “Any problem with my legs here?”

“No problem! Absolutely no problem!” Brahman’s attitude took a 180-degree change. “If you like, you can put them here as long as you want to!”

“So-so.” Li Nianwei snorted, then said calmly, “So, these few attribute stones, are you accepting them? If so, please certify them. We don’t have much time.”

To say they didn’t have much was just bluffing. Li Nianwei, Tang Muxin, and Ling Xiaoyi had it all planned out. The real situation was not to reveal the fact that they had just entered the universe. Otherwise, it may cause some trouble. Hence, according to their plans, once the auction center accepted the stones, they would prepare to leave immediately. In that case, the other party would definitely try to flatter them. It would then be easy for them to list their terms.

Indeed, hearing that, Brahman immediately got anxious. “Please wait for a moment.” He snapped his fingers at the goblin as he spoke. The goblin ran out and then quickly ran back, holding an exquisite gold card. “This is our VIP card. Please keep it well.”

“En.” Li Nianwei nodded, satisfied. “This VIP card looks not bad, what perks does it have?”

“10% off handling fee. Also, if there are any good items up for auction, you will have priority.” Brahman quickly explained to Li Nianwei. “Don’t underestimate this 10%. According to the rules of our auction house, we take 5% as a handling fee. For example, if an item was sold for one million Galaxy Dollars, 5% of that would be 50,000 Galaxy Dollars. With 10% off, you could earn an additional 5,000 Galaxy Dollars. If you come often, the savings could be quite substantial.”

Li Nianwei and the others understood.

The auction center got a commission from the items sold, the remaining was then given to the owner. With Sauron Auction Center’s scale, the credibility was naturally guaranteed.

“Not bad.” Li Nianwei nodded. “Prepare the certificate.”

Brahman immediately prepared the certificate and the paperwork was quickly done.

“Master Brahman, these three people come from unknown backgrounds. It’s a bit strange.” When they left, the goblin closed the door to the appraisal room and said, “Their faces could not be clearly seen, but it’s obvious they’re female. They behave so sneakily. Should we find out more about them?”

“Don’t do silly things.” Brahman shook his head and said calmly, “We are an auction center. What matters most is earning money. There’s no need to get involved in other things. If we make them unhappy and they change their minds, we will lose business.”

“Alright. I understand,” The goblin said.

“Miss Qianxue might take a fancy to these five top-grade attribute stones. I’ll bring them over immediately,” Brahman said in a deep voice. “Do well. If Miss Qianxue likes them, it will benefit us as well.”

“Yes!” Goblin Piro said excitedly. “I promise I won’t talk rubbish!”

…

At the door of the President’s office.

“It’s just a few stones, have they not finished assessing them?!” President Griffin was sweating profusely. He paced outside the door in an attempt to relieve stress. In his heart, he scolded. “Useless, they are all useless!”

As he got anxious, Brahman rushed over to his side. He called out in a low voice from afar, “President, President, good news. I have great news!”

“What good news?” Now that he saw Brahman, Griffin felt more at ease. Then, he became anxious again. “How are the attributes?”

“Three Strength +12, one Agility +13, one Reflexes +12!” Brahman said excitedly. “They’re all top-grade items!”

“Good!” Griffin smacked hard on Brahman’s shoulder. “Good job!”

When they entered the office, Griffin carefully placed all five jades on the office table and said, “Miss Qianxue, the attribute gemstones that the three people wanted to sell are all here. They are all top-grade items!”

“Oh?” Jiang Qianxue looked at the attribute gemstones on the table. “What are their attributes?”

“Three Strength +12, one Agility +13, one Reflexes +12!” Griffin said excitedly. “I have worked here for more than ten years, but I have only seen such top-grade gemstones three times! But this time, five appeared at the same time. It’s simply too amazing!”

As one of the richest Galaxy Aristocrats, Jiang Qianxue had seen all sorts of good things.

But it was the first time she had seen so many top-grade gemstones appear at once. Even she got a little excited. “The assessment is correct? There are no mistakes?”

“Absolutely not!” Griffin said. “Miss Qianxue, you can try feeling them.”

“En.” Picking up a green jade, Jiang Qianxue closed her eyes briefly. She held it for a full minute before she opened her eyes and nodded, satisfied. “En, it is indeed top-grade with Strength +12. These five gemstones…”

The more she looked at them, the more she liked them. Honestly, she had the intention of accepting them. But she had to show some respect. After all, she was not short of money. “En, let me know when the auction happens. I will get someone to buy them.”

“Okay, no problem!”

Since it was decided, she should leave immediately.

But looking at the five super top-grade attribute gemstones, Jiang Qianxue couldn’t bear to leave. Five top-grade items appearing at the same time. It was indeed rare. Especially since they were so beautiful…

She was a woman, after all. Women were naturally attracted to very, very beautiful things.

Of course, in the entire Milky Way, Hong Dali was probably the only person who didn’t care for it and gave it away…

“One more look,” Jiang Qianxue secretly said to herself. But such an act was embarrassing. Jiang Qianxue soon came up with a very good excuse. “Those three people, where are they from? Did you find out?”

“Not yet.” Griffin wiped the cold sweat off the back of his head. “I only know all three of them were women. We are an auction center, after all. Someone is willing to sell, and someone is willing to buy. We are just the middle-man. It’s not too nice to find out too much about our customers, in case it annoys them.”

Griffin’s words made sense, so Jiang Qianxue nodded in agreement.

There were no more excuses to stay. Jiang Qianxue looked at the five pieces of jades once more and slowly left.
