Hearing the voice, he turned around and saw an old woman with a yellow face standing in front of Lin Feng with a pile of paper cards in her hand.
Do you need tickets to attend the auction? After listening to the old woman's words, Lin Feng was a little curious.
After asking around, the price turned out to be ten white crystals. Although Lin Feng did not lack the money, he still did not buy it from the old lady. Who knew whether the tickets were real or fake? Lin Feng, who had never participated in an auction before, still wanted to go up and find out.
"I don't have the money to attend any auction."
Seeing Lin Feng asking to leave, the old woman muttered with dissatisfaction.
There were many ticket sellers gathered at the entrance of Shenwu Auction House. When they saw Lin Feng and others walking into the auction house, they all sold them tickets for the auction.
Lin Feng saw that some people bought tickets from them, and some people ignored them.
Moreover, Lin Feng carefully discovered that the tickets they were selling were at different prices. There are high and low, the lowest is the old lady's ten white crystals, and the higher one is even twenty or thirty white crystals.
It seems that the auction charges are based on the seat position. Although I have never participated in the Shenwu Auction House's auction, it is easy to understand based on the ticket price.
Lin Feng had never participated in an auction in his previous life, but he had been to some occasions such as concerts. The fare there is like this, the closer to the front the higher the charge.
Lin Feng did not expect that Shenwu Auction House would also engage in this model.
Entering Shenwu Auction House, Lin Feng saw many people gathered there. Some of them bought tickets, and some chatted.
The auction was held on the third floor of Shenwu Auction House. The time has not yet arrived, but a large number of people still came here. For a moment, the whole hall was noisy, full of voices.
He followed the stairs to the third floor of Shenwu Auction House. At the end of the stairs was the ticket office. Because he was not inside the auction, Lin Feng couldn't see what was inside.
Lin Feng saw that there were many people queuing in front of the ticket office. There are many high-level practitioners among them. It seems that even these fifth- and sixth-level practitioners must buy tickets here according to the rules. The power of Shenwu Auction House is something that most people would not dare to offend.
After these people bought the tickets, they chatted on the sidelines because it was still early, and they were not in a hurry to get in.
Lin Feng made a discovery, that is, all the people queuing up to buy tickets were cultivators, not any ordinary people.
Could it be said that ordinary people buy tickets from the ticket sellers below? Seeing this scene, Lin Feng came up with such an idea.
"How long will it take to be seated?"
Soon it was Lin Feng's turn, and a female voice came from behind the bar at the ticket office.
Looking up, Lin Feng found that the ticket seller was a middle-aged woman with a thick face, and she really had no desire to watch.
But what surprised Lin Feng was that this middle-aged woman turned out to be a level 4 practitioner.
Lin Feng was not surprised to see a level 4 cultivator. What was also surprising was that a cultivator could actually do the job of selling tickets here. This was something Lin Feng did not expect.
Generally speaking, as a cultivator, even if you are only a level 4 cultivator, you will usually hold some positions in the base. And here, acting as a ticket attendant obviously lowered her status.
However, no one was surprised when Lin Feng saw that other people seemed to be used to it.
Could it be that the strength of Shenwu Auction House has reached this level, and a cultivator is allowed to sell tickets? Lin Feng thought to himself.
"How long do you want to wait?"
Seeing that Lin Feng was stunned and didn't reply, the middle-aged woman's face trembled and she asked again.
"What's the waiting list?"
Lin Feng didn't react until he heard what the middle-aged woman said.
He was so surprised just now that he didn't hear the middle-aged woman's words clearly. After reacting, consult the other party.
Judging from what the middle-aged woman said, there are several types of tickets for the Shenwu Auction House auction, and they are divided into different levels of seating. Since it was his first time attending the auction, he knew nothing about it.
"The third-class 88 white crystal, the second-class 188 white crystal, the first-class 388 white crystal. The special class and loose tickets have been sold out, which one do you want?"
Seeing that it was Lin Feng's first time here, the middle-aged woman said impatiently.
The price of auction tickets has always been fixed, and ordinary people pay directly to buy tickets. For someone like Lin Feng to inquire about the price, this must be his first time here.
"This is too expensive. Aren't there tickets for more than ten or twenty white crystals?"
After hearing what the middle-aged woman said, Lin Feng opened his mouth wide.
It's not that he can't accept the price, but that the price itself is a bit expensive.
The tickets I got from the ticket dealers downstairs just now were only ten or twenty white crystals each, but when I arrived at the regular ticket office here, the price had increased so much. This makes Lin Feng somewhat unacceptable in terms of numbers, and it is not a matter of money.
"I told you that all the individual tickets are sold out. The only ones left are the ones I just mentioned. Do you want to buy them or not? If not, get out of the way and don't affect other people buying tickets."
After hearing Lin Feng's verbosity, the middle-aged woman finally couldn't help but scolded loudly.
After buying tickets for so long, no one has ever been as verbose as the person in front of me. It’s still too expensive to buy a ticket.
"That's right, why don't you buy tickets here if you don't have money? Why don't you buy loose tickets from the ticket seller downstairs? What's the point of making noise?" Some practitioners among the people lining up behind them shouted.
"Yes, these are all high-end tickets. If you find them expensive, go buy them below." Someone else said.
"That's right, the ones below are cheap. If you don't have money, don't pretend to be an uncle."
These cultivators saw that Lin Feng had no energy fluctuations, and if the money was too expensive, he must not have much strength, so they said unscrupulously.
After listening to these people's words, Lin Feng realized that it turned out that the votes in the hands of the ticket sellers below were all loose tickets.
As early as when tickets go on sale, ticket sellers will sweep away these loose tickets. Because the base is a large base, the auction scene is also very large, which will attract many people from nearby small and medium-sized bases to participate.
It was impossible for them to come here in advance to buy tickets, so these ticket sellers were created.
Tickets for high-end seats are firstly too expensive, and secondly, they are difficult to sell, so ticket sellers mainly sell the cheapest bulk tickets. The special seats have long been bought by some rich and powerful people, and the real rich people will not miss the money.
Those ticket sellers use the price of 8 or 18 white crystals when they first sell tickets to buy some loose tickets in different locations. On the day of the auction, they add two white crystals to each ticket and sell them. Although they earn Not much, but easy.
Lin Feng, who was here for the first time, didn't know, so he made a fool of himself here.
"I wonder if I can get a discount if I get this thing."
Ignoring the words of the cultivators around him, Lin Feng took out something from the Doomsday Table, waved it in front of the middle-aged woman, and said lightly.
