Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 728: Auction House

Time seemed to have slowed down immensely for Floral Witch, who now assumed the role of a student in a classroom.

Xu Feng was acting as a lecturer, and scolding Floral Witch repeatedly for her foolish actions.

”Now, Iʼll ask you again. How much should a gold coin be worth in the exchange center from players and not the System?”

”Uhh, around 30-40,000 dollars depending on the player.” Floral Witch alternated between flashing three and four fingers in response.

”Very well, then give me one circumstance where a player would offer 100,000 dollars for 1 gold coin?”

Almost immediately, Floral Witchʼs body shuddered. In a slow motion, she pointed at herself and said, ”If that playerʼs name is called Floral Witch.”

Nodding, Xu Feng was satisfied that she answered honestly. Mistakes happened, so nothing could be done about it. However, not admitting their mistakes tends to cause the situation to fester and encourage continuous similar mistakes.

Hence, Xu Feng didnʼt mind playing the bad role this time and scolded her harshly.

Having been treated so coldly, Floral Witchʼs saving grace was the employee returning with their food.

”Hereʼs your food, honorable guests.” The employees quickly filled the empty table with numerous dishes.

Floral Witchʼs eyes lit up immediately. She clasped her hands and said, ”We should enjoy food when itʼs hot.”

Seeing her shifting the topic and starting shoving some food into her mouth, Xu Feng shook his head in response.

ʼWhatever, I gave her enough scolding as an acquaintance already.ʼ He thought. It was due to her similarity with Zhao Kai that he decided to be generous for once and advise her.

Sometime later, the two officially agreed to enter a simple contract.

”Great, then hereʼs the two slots and make sure to be on time.” Floral Witch said and transferred partial rights to Xu Feng.

These slots were necessary to enter the Hall of Resonance.

And since Floral Witch only had her maid who was also a player as a candidate, she directly gave out the other two to Xu Feng.

Firstly, one was for him, and another one was for him to choose.

Naturally, Xu Feng wouldnʼt refuse the gesture and gladly accept it.

The Hall of Resonance was a chance to get a Hidden Class but unlike his Hidden Class change. They can be obtained and granted to others, meaning all he needed to do was obtain a Hidden Class quota and transfer it to another one who could benefit from it.

After all, there was no way in hell he would ever forfeit his Origin Cleric for some other subpar Hidden Class.

”Okay, Iʼve sent you a friend request.” Floral Witch suddenly said.

”Accepted.

”Transaction sent.”

”Received.”

”Happy to work with you.”

”Likewise.”

”...”

Unamused, Floral Witch stared at Xu Feng and his one-liner response. ”Are we still going on with the lecture?”

”No, but I wonder if you are going to start suspecting your maid.”

”I trust my maid.”

”On what basis?”

”On the basis that she was with me throughout my difficult time.” She responded with a stern look. It was clear that she was not pleased one bit about Xu Feng judging her maid.

”Well, people change, and donʼt be mistaken.” Xu Feng tapped his fingers on the table and said, ”I never work with people who I have doubts against. I canʼt leave my back vulnerable.”

Silent, Floral Witch furrowed her brows before taking a deep breath. ”Iʼll do some investigation, but if thereʼs nothing. I hope you can apologize to my maid.”

”No need for that.” Xu Feng flat-out rejected her suggestion. ”I do my own judgment when we begin. Iʼm only telling you this now because you showed me your sincerity, so Iʼm repaying the favor. During the Hall of Resonance, I will place her in mind while you stay out of it.”

”I invited you to assist me.” Floral Witch hissed coldly.

”And Iʼm assisting you by vetting the people around you. If you canʼt even see it that way, then after the Hall of Resonance, we can unfriend and never meet again.” He coolly responded.

Had it not been for her sincerity, then Xu Feng would have ignored her. The mere fact that he had basically zero recollection was evident enough that she had been consumed whole on her own plane.

How could someone who got eliminated in their own plane be recognized elsewhere?

The atmosphere was quite heated, but in the end, Floral Witch managed to compose herself.

”I guess when that day happens, itʼll prove you wrong.” She said softly.

”I do hope that Iʼm wrong.” Xu Feng smiled in response.

Naturally, he wished his speculation to be completely wrong. But it was in his nature to be suspicious. Caution ensured a high possibility of success because there would be no visible crack opening that could be breached.

A few minutes later, the two exited their private room and began heading to the main venue.

With more gold coins on hand due to the transaction, Xu Feng was more confident in being able to win some of the items.

Items that would be beneficial for his town or his guild members.

As the two put on the mask granted to them by the employees to protect their identity, they soon found themselves seated on an upper floor. Given that Floral Witch was such a spendthrift, she managed to snag a decent room that oversaw the whole auction venue.

”Although we are now in a cooperation, donʼt be depressed if you canʼt outbid me.” Floral Witch turned to him and said cheekily. It was clear that she seemed to hold some grudges from the previous lecture.

”If you wish to outbid me on an item, then so be it.” Xu Feng shrugged in response. He was not one to fall for such a low provocation trick. Not to mention, an auction was meant to have the highest bidders win.

As for trying to throw your status or weight in the auction to win an item?

Xu Feng surely wished to encounter some players who would be brazen enough to commit such acts.
