Chapter 962 Arriving at the Auction House, the Benefits of Being Famous
"Do you have the confidence to handle the Order's people? I hope so," April sighed softly, then continued, "Although you're very powerful, you probably don't know just how monstrous the Order's people are... I just hope it's not that 'Director' who's here. That guy is simply inhuman."
When Lin Yu heard April's words, he didn't know how to react for a moment, so he could only say, "It doesn't matter. There are ways to deal with the 'director'... We've already built up momentum, so we can naturally take advantage of it. We don't necessarily have to confront them head-on."
As Lin Yu spoke, Siyue shook her head and lowered her voice, "If you have that idea, you're completely wrong. Although I know that people who praise the 'director' now focus on his frontal combat ability and his 'only job' of 'Best Actor'... However, in my opinion, the 'director's' planning ability and wisdom are what make him truly terrifying."
"I admit you're not a reckless man with only combat prowess. Your strategies are excellent, but Yali, you have no idea how clever that guy really is. Although he's a member of the Order, he's very good at disguising himself," April paused, then continued, "In fact, I've encountered him before in a dungeon, as well as the Master Thief from the Free Alliance... Both of them disguised themselves for almost the entire dungeon, but his disguise was even more perfect than that of the renowned Master Thief. I didn't realize his true identity or strength until after I left the dungeon."
"After I joined the 'Predators' and heard his reputation, I didn't even connect him with the guy I met for a while - now you know how terrifying the 'Director' is!"
"Honestly, although there have been recent rumors that he and the newcomer Zhu Ming from the Free Alliance are the twin stars of today's newcomers, and everyone generally thinks he might not be as good as Zhu Ming... but in my opinion, that Zhu Ming might not even be worthy of being considered a player on the same level as him!"
"Yayu, you were introduced by Tiangong, so he should have told you how terrifying that guy is!"
April said, her tone very serious.
Hearing the other party seriously exaggerating the "director threat theory", Lin Yu tried his best to suppress the twitching of his mouth and spoke.
"I'll take it seriously, but don't be too nervous. Maybe he didn't join the same [Instance] as us, and I think there's a high probability that we won't encounter him," Lin Yu explained. "After all, word has spread that he just made a great contribution to Order, right? I don't know the details... but my account hasn't been deleted from the [Forum] yet, so I browsed around... and there's news that he's not in good shape either."
"So, I guess Order, as a relatively humane organization, will give him a break."
What Lin Yu said was neither speculation nor uncertain news.
April nodded. "Alright... but we still have to be careful. Even if they're not the 'Director', other 'Order' masters have their own troubles."
As they were talking, they had already arrived in front of the auction house.
The auction house is located in the center of the Tide Festival venue, which is almost the best and most conspicuous location.
As soon as Lin Yu and Siyue arrived, they saw a staff member from the auction house coming towards them.
Judging from her attire, the mermaid should not be just an ordinary staff member, but most likely a member of the management of the auction house.
"Your Excellency Yali, Your Excellency April, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
The auction house in the Siren King's capital obviously has various connections with the appraiser. The senior appraiser might have already informed Lin Yu and the others about their arrival, which is why someone took the initiative to greet them.
but……
Lin Yu felt that the other party's management came out to greet him in person, not only because the senior appraiser had greeted him, but more probably because his "momentum" was too huge now.
A siren who could become a member of the management team in the auction house of the Siren Kingdom was definitely not a stupid person - the competition in the Siren Kingdom was more intense than that in the Mermaid Kingdom, and the probability of a fool appearing among high-ranking officials was much lower than that in the Mermaid Kingdom.
What's more, the top executives of the auction house are not city lords or overlords, which are positions that require aristocratic blood and family inheritance. Most of them are commoner sirens who have climbed up step by step from the bottom. Even if their family has some background, they are definitely not the powerful sirens.
Lin Yu also knew this - so he was not surprised that the other party was able to keenly grasp the unusualness of these two distinguished guests from the "Central Sea" through public opinion trends, and therefore made a special response strategy and showed extraordinary courtesy.
This is also what Lin Yu hopes to see.
He built up his reputation, naturally hoping that every step he took in the Sirens, a country that naturally hated humans, would be as smooth as possible.
Although sirens hate and discriminate against humans, how can humans from the Middle Sea be considered human?
What's more, unlike April who was worried about being exposed, Lin Yu knew very well that with "Hannah" around, his identity as a VIP of Zhongzhihai was 100% genuine.
The more knowledgeable one is, or even someone who really comes from the Middle Sea, the more they will know how noble Lin Yu's identity is.
Looking at the fawning auction house executives in front of him, Lin Yu nodded slightly and said, "That's thoughtful. Since you're standing here, you must know that I'm planning to auction off a delicacy of the 'world's rarest' level."
"Of course, of course. As the manager of this auction house, I will serve you wholeheartedly. No matter when you want the auction to take place, we can arrange it at any time... Although there are many items to be auctioned today, everything is based on your purpose."
The senior executives of the Siren Auction House are more aware of the current situation than the senior appraiser. After all, for the senior appraiser, it is just an "eye-opener", but the senior executives of the auction house can obtain real results and benefits from Lin Yu, and even results that can be cashed in immediately!
After all, the mere announcement of the auction of the "world's rarest" delicacies would bring huge benefits to him in terms of publicity and discussion for the auction house.
not to mention……
This was during the "Tide Tracing Festival". If such a precious delicacy could really be filmed and received positive reviews from the VIPs of the Middle Sea, it would be a great thing for the entire Siren Kingdom.
This senior executive is extremely confident that the achievements of his auction house will surely delight the hardworking and ambitious new king of the Siren Kingdom!
My future is so bright!
Thinking of this, the senior executive of the Siren Auction House couldn't help but rub his hands again.
"Do you have any other instructions?"
Lin Yu looked at him and laughed.
"Really... Since you're the auction house's manager, you must be constantly interacting with all sorts of bigwigs like the Sirens, right?"
"I want you to introduce me to a siren collector. Of course, I've already received a token from an introducer. This is the business card of a senior appraiser at the appraisal institute."
