After learning Miao Dao with Luo Hongyun for nearly an hour, Xia Xu stopped after barely learning the simple routines.
He did not forget that he still had to attend the auction of eliminated police dogs today.
Combat with cold weapons is just better than nothing. If you really want to enhance your self-protection ability, "summoning creatures" is simpler and faster.
However, the auction starts at 9:30 and lasts until 11:30, so there is no need to rush. The reason I got up so early is purely because I am excited and I have gradually gotten used to morning exercises with Luo Hongyun.
After taking another shower and having breakfast at a roadside stall, Xia Xu calmly took a taxi. It didn't take long for him to arrive at a police dog training base in Xingcheng according to the address given by Luo Hongyun.
Half past nine, the timing is just right.
“So this is an auction…”
Luo Hongyun had already arranged guarantees and other things for Xia Xu, so Xia Xu entered smoothly after arriving at the place.
Just seeing the so-called auction scene, he felt too powerless to complain.
There is a large open space in the training base in the wilderness, with a stage in front, which seems to serve as a speech board.
The seats for the auction participants were even worse. There were rows of small red plastic stools placed on the lawn covered with bare yellow mud and sparse weeds.
This bleak scene successfully shattered all of Xia Xu's beautiful fantasies about the 'auction'.
Not many people participated in the auction, which was why Luo Hongyun said before that he was lucky. This kind of auction of eliminated dogs was the first attempt, and it was just a simple announcement, so not many people probably knew about it.
After entering, Xia Xu found a seat to sit down, and then he got the list of eliminated dogs for this auction, which briefly described their coat color and the reasons for elimination. Most of them were small, weak, low in excitability, and low desire to pick up things.
"No. 1, Springer Spaniel, female, eliminated because of cowardice..."
After a while, people from the training base walked up to the auction table and officially started the auction.
Maybe it was because of lack of experience, so they didn't do it very formally. They just brought out the eliminated dogs and introduced their characteristics one by one.
“I wonder if I can check the attributes of animals…”
When the auction really started, Xia Xu felt a little annoyed. The auction time was too short and he hadn't made any preparations at all. He was not good at picking dogs.
Fortunately, he still has the ability to view the property panel.
Humans can see it, werewolves can see it, so it’s impossible that wolves can’t see it, right
With the intention of giving it a try, Xia Xu cast a detection spell at the eliminated police dog on the stage.
Name: Abu
Life Level: 1
Fate potential: Pet (1 star)
Talent potential: Guide (2 stars)
Special: None
Obsession: None
Favorability: 40
An attribute panel that looked exactly like a human popped up.
“It really works.”
Xia Xu smiled.
Since he can also check dogs, it seems that his ability is effective for all creatures. In this way, he can not only select talents, but also select the best "dog talents" this time.
I looked at the attribute panel again and it seemed to be no different from that of humans.
No, there is a slight difference.
Theoretically, he was not even a stranger observing from a distance, but the Springer Spaniel on the stage had a full forty points of favorability towards him.
"Innate favorability bonus?"
Xia Xu was a little surprised, but it seemed reasonable when he thought about it.
Many dogs, especially today's pet dogs, rarely show hostility towards humans unless they have been abused, and many species are docile and affectionate.
"Four hundred!"
"four thousand!"
"Ten thousand!"
"fifty thousand!"
While Xia Xu was checking the properties, some people around him had already started bidding. Although there were not many people, the response was very enthusiastic.
The price was a bit outrageous. The starting price was only two hundred yuan, but it soared to tens of thousands in an instant. It seemed that those who came here were not short of money.
Of course, these eliminated dogs are worth the price. They have received professional police dog training and were eliminated only because they are timid. This may be a defect for police dogs, but it is an advantage when using them as pet dogs.
"Little brother... do you know how to tell a dog's fortune?"
A bald middle-aged man next to Xia Xu suddenly started talking to Xia Xu.
"Why do you ask?"
Xia Xu was watching the other people's competition with the intention of enjoying the show, when he was suddenly surprised to hear the person who approached him ask this question.
"Haha, I've been doing business outside for decades. Although I'm not good at choosing dogs, I'm good at judging people."
The bald middle-aged man smiled kindly and said, "This is the first dog. Look at the others. Even those who are not very interested will make an offer to join in the fun. Only you, little brother, didn't make an offer. You even look a little disapproving."
"sharp."
Xia Xu gave him a thumbs up.
"So it seems that I guessed right?"
The bald middle-aged man showed a little joy: "Can you please help me, little brother? My daughter has some problems with her eyesight, so she needs a guide dog. I thought a trained police dog could protect her, so I found time to come here today when I got the news."
As he spoke, he laughed dryly: "But you see... I don't understand anything. The auction didn't say what these dogs are suitable for. I'm sitting here completely confused."
"So you want me to help you choose?"
Xia Xu laughed: "What if I don't understand it and I'm just bragging and picking randomly?"
"I believe in you, little brother."
The bald middle-aged man said, and then coughed twice: "Actually, I believe in my own judgment."
"Okay, let's just take this one."
Xia Xu showed a casual and joking expression.
"Ah? Just this one?"
The bald middle-aged man was also stunned.
Xia Xu smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is the one. If you believe it, buy it. If you don't believe it, forget it."
"Okay, I'll buy it."
After hearing this, the bald middle-aged man was also straightforward, or perhaps he didn't mind the tens of thousands of dollars, so he directly joined the bidding army.
"Eighty thousand once! Eighty thousand twice! Eighty thousand three times! Deal!"
In the end, the first eliminated dog was successfully taken by the bald middle-aged man next to Xia Xu.
Afterwards, the remaining dogs were put on stage for auction one after another, and the transaction prices also skyrocketed step by step, one higher than the other.
Seeing that the price of the seventh one had exceeded 150,000, Xia Xu finally became impatient.
This is just a eliminated police dog, not a real police dog, and it does not have any rare breed bloodline.
The professionally trained gimmick might be worth money, but he originally thought that it would be worth a hundred thousand at most, and he never expected the bidding to be so crazy.
He doesn't have much money in his pocket now, and can only take out 200,000 at most. If he continues to wait and see, he might go home empty-handed.
Name: Heige

Talent potential: Fighting (3 stars)
Special: None
Obsession: None

Just then, another new dog was brought up. After seeing Sanxing's fighting talent, Xia Xu did not hesitate and started bidding directly.
