The Road to Domination in Another World

Chapter 40 Auctioning Homemade Spider Cocoons

Early the next morning, Ye Senlei and Jiao Ge went out to the auction house.

At this time, there were not many passers-by on the road, and most of them were ordinary people who started working early in the morning. Seeing the two of them, they shrank away.

Ye Senlei always felt a little awkward looking at the spider cocoon he produced, so he let Jiao Ge hold it all the time.

The spider cocoon was covered with an old dress, which was not noticeable in the crowd, and because it was far away from other people, no one noticed it.

The two arrived at the entrance of the auction house. There was a guard at the door, but because the door had just opened and there was no traffic, they lazily leaned against the door in a daze.

After approaching, Jiao Ge deliberately looked left and right, and then whispered the purpose of coming here to the guard. The guard looked Ye Senlei up and down, apparently not thinking that he could come up with anything good.

Jiao Ge then lifted a corner of the old clothes, revealing the snow-white spider cocoons underneath.

Before coming here, Ye Senlei specifically asked Jiao Ge to pretend to be a little bit, otherwise if he took out the spider cocoon carelessly, it would arouse others' suspicion.

Looking at it now, Ye Senlei felt that Jiao Ge acted well, with a series of movements showing caution and caution, so he couldn't help nodding in satisfaction.

The guard quickly went back to report and let the two of them in after a while.

As soon as they entered the room, the two saw a neatly dressed middle-aged man standing in front of him. He had a small beard, squinted his eyes, and looked shrewd.

The man inadvertently looked at Jiao Ge and Ye Senlei, seeing their shabby clothes, he didn't show contempt, but he didn't show too much enthusiasm either.

Jiao Ge removed the old clothes on the spider cocoon and handed it to the man. Such a big spider cocoon is not extremely precious to the auction house, but it is definitely a good thing.

He checked it over and over again, and only smiled after confirming that there was no problem. After putting the spider cocoon in a box, he gave them two dominoes to be used in tomorrow's auction.

After confirming the handover, Ye Senlei and Jiao Ge felt at ease. They had inquired about the good reputation of this auction house before, and they were not afraid of them swallowing the goods. As long as they sold them, they would be given [-]% of the proceeds. They still have a high demand for the auction items. Fortunately, this spider cocoon is still hard to come by.

The people from the auction house didn't let them leave directly. While explaining some rules of the auction house, they talked about the origin of the spider cocoon. Of course, they wouldn't do this to people of high status, but there was nothing to fear from the two shabby clothes in front of them.

Jiao Ge told the origin of the spider cocoon that he had made before, and the people from the auction house asked some more questions. Fortunately, they were well prepared and answered all of them.

After leaving the auction house for some distance, Jiao Ge and Ye Senlei communicated in a low voice.

This time they knew some market information about this side.

Here, spar is the currency that circulates among the upper class, and the transaction currency in this auction house is also spar, but the universal spar is transparent and colorless, and the spar with colored attributes is generally used for absorption. It is also divided into classes, the finer spar is purer, and the energy it contains is also purer.

Crystals and magic crystals are not the same. Crystals are energy ores mined in some places, while magic crystals are obtained from monsters. The two are different, but their functions are similar.

They went back and asked old man Lu about the spar. Unexpectedly, old man Lu had never come into contact with this kind of spar. He is not from the Eastern Continent. He guessed that this is a new currency that has appeared in the Eastern Continent in recent decades. .

Ye Senlei and Jiao Ge sighed in unison after hearing this. They thought Old Man Lu was well-informed and would be of great help when he came out, but he didn't expect to ask three questions.

Their disappointment was all written on their faces, and Old Man Lu was also wronged. How could he have thought that this place was completely different from the environment he used to live in, and now that there was a Rare Earth around him who knew this place better, Old Man Lu felt that his status had plummeted.

But after solving a major issue, Ye Senlei and Jiao Ge were in a good mood, and they discussed going out for a stroll, but Old Man Lu was too lazy to go out, so he just stayed in the room.

Now it was almost time for dinner, so they ate lunch in the store first, and Ye Senlei and Jiao Ge didn't go out until Rare Earth came to find them at the appointed time in the afternoon.

Rare Earth looked in a good mood today, with a smile on his face, and his voice became lighter, which made Ye Senlei couldn't help asking what good things happened to him.

Rare Earth laughed even happier when he heard that, and finally had a tinge of youthful vigor, "I also want to thank you, my brother absorbed the two crystals you gave yesterday, and he is in much better health today! He said that you gave me The quality of the spar is very good, so the absorption effect is also good."

"Huh? Your brother is also a crystal nucleus capable person? What happened to him?" Jiao Ge asked in confusion first.

"My brother used to be on the patrol team in the town, but now he is injured. He will come out to meet you after a few days when he recovers."

Ye Senlei and Jiao Ge nodded after listening, but did not ask further questions.

They don't plan to go to the market today, they are so poor that the bells are ringing, they might as well wait until the spider silk is auctioned tomorrow, and then go shopping to their heart's content.

Today they let Rare Earth take a look at the nearby areas to see if they can find a place to buy it, and save running around, but they don't know how much the spider silk can be sold for, so they just came to have a look.

However, Rare Earth obviously didn't think they could have much money, so they chose ordinary small houses. Jiao Ge was not satisfied no matter how they looked at them, and felt that they were far worse than the original tribe's homes.

After wandering around for a long time, Rare Earth found out how demanding Jiaoge and the others were, and was immediately a little embarrassed. Now they were looking at areas in the civilian areas, and there was no way for Rare Earth to inquire about the houses of capable users. Recovering might help a little.

As soon as Ye Senlei heard this, he completely gave up the idea of ​​continuing to look at the house. Rare Earth saw that they were not going to look at the house again, so he stammered and said that he would go back to work. The two of them didn't do their business, which delayed a lot of time.

This made both Ye Senlei and Jiao Ge feel a little embarrassed, they quickly agreed and told him not to come tomorrow, anyway, they are probably familiar with the situation, so don't delay him, and seeing Rare Earth, he knew that his life must be difficult.

After separating from Rare Earth, Ye Senlei and Jiao Ge started to wander around the town. In the past two days, they have discovered many disadvantages of this town.

The class relationship here is obvious, civilians are like ants in front of crystal nucleus ability users, and ordinary crystal nucleus ability users are also servile in front of high-level ability users.

They walked for a while, and a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them, all of them were tall and well-equipped, riding wild animals and galloping all the way. A little girl was biting her fingers and standing in the middle of the road in front of her.

Seeing that the team didn't intend to stop at all, Jiao Ge was startled, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull the child into his arms, rolled to the side of the road, and finally escaped.

The little girl in front of him obviously hadn't reacted yet, she stared blankly at Jiao Ge, sucking her snot, her two braids were messed up, her clothes were also dirty, with several holes in them.

At this moment, the little girl's mother ran up trembling, pulled the little girl and bowed to Jiao Ge repeatedly, and Ye Senlei also came from behind, reaching out to pat Jiao Ge's back to comfort him.

When the little girl and her mother had left long ago, Jiao Ge was still unhappy. Ye Senlei knew that Jiao Ge's world view had suffered a great shock.

In fact, it's not just little girls. I saw several incidents of civilians being beaten by capable people along the way. It wasn't even a beating. The capable people just waved their hands, and ordinary people were thrown far away and couldn't get up for a long time.

The ordinary man was a middle-aged man with a thin body. After the capable person left for a long distance, the people around him dared to help the middle-aged man. From their mouths, Ye Senlei and Jiao Ge knew that the man just had a leg injury and walked slowly. , accidentally blocked the way of the capable person, and suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

The middle-aged man coughed up several mouthfuls of blood after he stood up, and after a little relief, he limped away.

When they first came across this kind of thing, they were a little bit surprised, but the fact that the little girl almost died just now made them completely wake up, how different the status of the strong and the weak is here.

The two of them completely lost the mood of wandering around. After returning to the inn, they were extremely depressed. After asking them about the specific situation, Old Man Lu also fell silent, and then said solemnly: "The outside world is much crueler than you think. , This kind of thing is very common, and sooner or later you will get used to it."

After hearing this, Ye Senlei felt very sad, thinking that the middle-aged man who left may have suffered internal injuries. In this place where medicine is underdeveloped, he doesn't know if he can be cured smoothly, and the little girl doesn't know if he will meet again in the future. Seeing something similar, I didn't know if someone would save her at that time.

Jiao Ge next to him lowered his head, his head was almost buried in his chest. Ye Senlei reached out to hold Jiao Ge's hand. Jiao Ge has experienced the cruelty of life and the ferocity of wild beasts, but he has never really faced the evil of human nature, so the shock he received Bigger than Ye Senlei.

When eating dinner, even Jiao Ge's food intake was greatly reduced because of a bad mood. They didn't exchange much money before, and after the accommodation and two meals, they had already spent almost the same, and they were waiting for tomorrow's auction revenue.

When going to bed at night, both Jiao Ge and Ye Senlei suffered from insomnia. Jiao Ge tossed and turned on the bed until Ye Senlei hugged Jiao Ge and finally stopped turning over.

After a while, Jiao Ge said sullenly, "I don't like this place."

Ye Senlei touched Jiao Ge's ear, and said softly: "There is a saying over there, if you don't like it, then change it, if you can't change it, then adapt to it." Ye Senlei paused, then continued: "If you adapt No, we will try to become stronger and wait until we are strong enough to change it."

The latter sentence was added by Ye Senlei himself. He didn't want to see Jiao Ge depressed, so he brought encouragement and comfort. Jiao Ge obviously listened to it. His eyes shone with determination, and he swore to Ye Senlei: "I must become Very strong, very strong, protect you, protect old man Lu, protect everyone I want to protect!"

Ye Senlei kissed him. Although the goal is ambitious and the possibility of realizing it is very small, a man who is responsible and motivated is still very attractive.

Ye Senlei didn't take this oath too seriously, but since that night, Jiao Ge has planted a seed in his heart.
