 Chapter 103 - Entering the Auction Once Again

Seeing the familiar sign, Lin Feng hesitated for a second before moving towards the shop. 

The store in Tianlong base had a very similar design as the one in Nanshan base with an antique style. The hall held some wooden shelves with some goods that they displayed with a large counter in the center. 

In the main hall stood a young assistant in a blue jacket, he looked young and short. Probably because it was still early, the young man was sweeping the front hall instead of sitting at the counter. 

"Did you come to buy or sell?"

The young man watched as Lin Feng came in. He put down the broom in his hand and came over to ask what Lin Feng needed. 

Lin Feng was wearing some simple black gym wear. These days he had been rushing back and forth while facing the dangers of the Tianheng mountains and the apocalypse rain and didn't have time to change out of his clothes. Although the clothes weren't unlike what other people might wear, because of the numerous washing and cleaning the clothes looked old and faded. In general Lin Feng looked either poor or unkept and the young man didn't treat him with respect. 

"Is the manager here? I would like to see him and discuss something."

Seeing how the clerk was treating him, Lin Feng looked down at his own clothes and laughed. It seemed that when he went back he really needed to change into something else. 

As the saying goes a person depends on clothes as a horse depends on the ground*. Even though Lin Feng was a fifth class cultivator, if he was only judged by looking at his clothes it would be easy to call to call him poor. But since the other party was merely a young man, Lin Feng wasn't able to make trouble for such an insignificant issue. If Lin Feng really made trouble over the way he was dressed then he would really be too narrow minded. 

"What? Are you kidding? My boss will see you just because you say so? Why don't you take a good look at yourself first and if you can leave, I need to finish cleaning the ground."

It was still early in the morning, making it so the young clerk wasn't thinking clearly. Now that Lin Feng had made a request the clerk was acting like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, shouting and making a big fuss. 

To the young clerk, this was the Grand Auction House. This was a business that had chains all over the country. Even in this Tianlong base, which was Tianqi city's second largest base, there was this store location. How could the manager be someone that just anyone could summon as they pleased. 

Only those with strength could be so arrogant, but even those big wigs that lived in Tianlong base didn't dare to so easily mess with the manager of the Grand Auction House. It was true that the Grand Auction House didn't hold a lot of power in the country, but the auction houses held many different materials and resources. In the apocalypse almost everything was precious and desired by many. 

"Can you see if this will allow me to see the manager?"

Lin Feng took the golden medal that he received from Tang Gong in Nanshan out from his apocalypse watch. 

Lin Feng pulled out the medal as he figured that he appeared to be too poor. 

When Lin Feng went to the previous grand auction hall he had sold two diamond rings and gained two hundred thousand white crystals. It was considered an incredible sum of crystals. 


But as fast as the wealth came did it leave. Lin Feng spent around fifty thousand crystals for Ling Tian's treatment and a hundred thousand crystals in order to buy the intermediate bloodline lineage. Right now Lin Feng had less than fifty thousand crystals. 

If this was the dawn of the apocalypse, having fifty thousand crystals would be an incredible amount of wealth. 

Even though he had only experienced the apocalypse for a month, Lin Feng already knew that fifty thousand crystals wasn't enough. 

Having lived in the apocalypse, Lin Feng's views had changed drastically from his previous life. Experiencing the differences in population and landmass changed a lot of ways Lin Feng saw the world. He understood that there were so many people on this world that there were even more zombies than the population of his previous world. From these countless zombies came even more crystals, so many that Lin Feng understood that his fifty thousand crystals was merely a drop in the ocean. 

Going along with this line of thinking, one would always need more crystals in order to live a good life in the apocalypse. If Lin Feng wanted to obtain this kind of wealth it wouldn't be realistic to hunt for this many crystals. An endless supply of crystals was needed in order to supplement cultivation and guarantee survival in the apocalypse. 

"Golden…...Gold Member…..."

Seeing the golden medal that Lin Feng pulled out the young clerk started to stare with wide eyes and lost his voice. 

The number of gold members that belonged to the grand auction hall was about ten thousand in the country. Although there were this many members, there were branches of this organization all over the country. The country had a hundred cities, each with about a hundred bases. With this many branches of the auction hall, having even a couple gold member in the base would be an achievement. 

In a place where small bases could have hundreds of thousands of people and large bases could have millions, it was obvious to see just how rare and important a gold medal was among this many people. 

Let alone a gold medal, there were very few lower ranked silver medals in Tianlong base. The young clerk knew that in Tianlong base among those that possessed a golden medal included the two vice leaders of the base. The other upper echelon and even seventh class cultivators could only obtain silver memberships. 

Seeing the dirty and poor looking person in front of him pull out a golden medal, the young clerk couldn't have imagined this situation even in his dreams. But he could see the medal swinging around, but it was impossible to forge a grand auction hall medal, so the clerk knew that it wasn't fake. 

"Mi…...Mister please wait for a moment, I will immediately summon the manager."

The young clerk didn't dare to say anything else and stumbled up the stairs to the second floor. 

It seemed like there were still people that were snobs even in the apocalypse. Lin Feng thought to himself that if he hadn't taken out the gold medal that maybe the clerk would have chased him out with the broom. 

It seemed like the gold medal was very easy to use. He had obtained it in Nanshan base but was able to use it in Tianlong base as well. It looked like the manager of the shop in Nanshan base wasn't lying about the medal, or else Lin Feng might have embarrassed himself here. 

Shortly after, Lin Feng heard footsteps coming from the second floor, which should be the young clerk's manager coming. 

Lin Feng looked at the staircase and saw two figures come down the stairs. Following the clerk that had returned was the manager dressed in a white robe. 

"So it was you!"

Lin Feng and the new figure were both startled when they saw each other.
