Quick Transmigration: The Carefree Life of a Background Character

After the guests were seated, several waiters kept moving between the seats, serving tea and snacks to everyone.

Only six of the private rooms on the second and third floors were occupied.

However, Ziyue was not in a hurry. After today, the private rooms on the second and third floors would be in high demand.

At the hour of You (note: five or six in the afternoon is called the hour of You), precisely on time, a young man with a refined and scholarly demeanor, dressed in a blue robe, stood in front of the platform in the main hall. This man was none other than Song Zhiwen, who had been saved by Ziyue earlier.

Song Zhiwen bowed with his arms clasped, displaying a graceful and poised demeanor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the grand opening of our Baiqiao Linglong Pavilion, and we are very happy to welcome you all. My name is Song Zhiwen, and I am the manager here. You can call me Manager Song. I'm sure you are already familiar with our Baiqiao Linglong Pavilion."

Linglong Pavilion will hold an auction here at 5:00 PM on the 16th of each month.

Only five items will be auctioned at a time, and the highest bidder wins.

You may still be wondering what exactly Linglong Pavilion will be auctioning today. Don't worry, we'll reveal it to you shortly.

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and a woman in pink with her face covered walked onto the stage.

A slender young woman, dressed in pink with her face veiled, walked up to Manager Song carrying a box in both hands.

The woman in pink was a lifelike robot that Ziyue had purchased again from the system shop. She named her Xingmeng and had exceptional combat skills. With her protecting the auction items, Ziyue wasn't worried about any accidents.

Song Zhiwen carefully took out an item with both hands and placed it on the high platform. Guests who were a little further away could not see what it was, but could only roughly see a square outline.

A square object, roughly the width of a palm and the length of one and a half palms.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this object is called a mirror. It can clearly reflect a person's image. Please don't rush. Let me show it to you first."

The woman in pink held the mirror in both hands and paused in front of each person. Wherever she went, everyone stared in disbelief. After a moment, they came to their senses, their eyes shining, and they whispered among themselves.

They had never seen such a clear mirror before.

After the first, second, and third floors were displayed in turn, the bidding for the first floor had already begun in earnest.

"I'll offer 20 taels of silver." Before he could finish speaking, someone interrupted him, "Heh, you think you can get it for 20 taels? Are you still dreaming? I'll offer 100 taels."

"Tch, I thought you could offer a lot!" the man retorted sarcastically.

"200 taels."

"500 taels."

……

The sounds of bidding rose and fell.

Seeing the lively scene of everyone scrambling for the items, Song Zhiwen couldn't help but admire even more the boss behind the scenes who could come up with such a method and provide so many rare items—that was Ziyue.

At this moment, a woman from a private room on the second floor spoke up: "Four thousand taels."

As soon as these words were spoken, no one fought over it anymore. After all, while a mirror that reflects one's image is precious, it is not indispensable.

“Four thousand taels once, four thousand taels twice… four thousand taels three times.”

"Duang—", the hammer fell, sealing the moment.

"The first item up for auction today, this mirror, belongs to Room 2."

"The next item," the woman in pink presented with both hands, "is called colored glass beads. There are twenty beads in a set, in different colors or patterns, namely blue, white, green, yellow, purple, red... I can show them to you first."

……

Finally, the colored glass bead was auctioned off for 1,800 taels of silver.

The third item was a stack of 100 sheets of white paper, which is basically the Xuan paper commonly used for practicing calligraphy in modern times. It's not that she was trying to rip them off; A4 paper would have been fine too. You know, where can you find such pure white and delicate paper these days?

She can make these papers in her own space; she doesn't need them.

In ancient times, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones were the most beloved items of scholars, and families that could afford to support scholars were generally quite wealthy.

As soon as the jade-white paper was released, it was snatched up by many people and was eventually bought by a guest in private room number three for two thousand taels of gold.

The story of "paper becoming expensive in Luoyang" shows just how expensive paper was in ancient times.

Royal tribute paper is worth a fortune, so Ziyue wasn't surprised by this price.

As the atmosphere heated up, the fourth item up for auction was a watch, which was sold for 3,700 taels of gold.

The fifth item is a complete set of glass teaware, including a gaiwan, a fairness cup, tasting cups, a tea rinse bowl, and a lotus-shaped lid knob. The lid is beautifully curved, crystal clear, and elegant.

One can imagine what a wonderful experience it would be to enjoy tea with such a set of teaware. Immediately, the guests in the guest rooms on the second and third floors started bidding against each other.

Such a complete set of glass teaware is extremely rare.

It was eventually sold for 4,300 taels of gold.

After all the items were auctioned off, some people stayed to continue drinking tea and chatting, while others left immediately, eager to share their experiences of the day with their friends.

Wow, wow, I've really learned something new today!

That's why people say there are a lot of rich people in Los Angeles!

This is indeed true.

Baiqiao Linglong Pavilion became an instant hit.

Walking down the street, regardless of age or gender, if you ask about Baiqiao Linglong Pavilion, almost everyone can give you a proper introduction.

If someone doesn't know this, they will definitely be looked down upon.

"What? You don't know about the Hundred Treasures Pavilion? Let me tell you, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion holds an auction on the 16th of every month at the hour of You (5-7 PM), each time..."

You can hear snippets of conversations about Baiqiao Linglong Pavilion whenever you walk down the street.

In just a few days, Baiqiao Linglong Pavilion has not only become famous throughout Luocheng, but its reputation has also begun to spread outside. It is believed that the day when it becomes famous throughout the world is not far away.

Ziyue's space was filled with enormous pearls, pink pearls, and even purple pearls; crystal-clear glass lamps, glass bowls, glass cups, solar-powered table lamps, paper, watches, clocks, Polaroid cameras, tissues, toilet paper, a complete set of lipsticks in every color, perfumes...

There are also alcoholic beverages: wine, whiskey, Moutai, fruit wine, medicinal wine...

There are also many high-quality medicinal herbs. You should know that the crops planted in her space grow at a rate a hundred times faster than normal, so she even has ginseng that is tens of thousands of years old in her space.

Of course, if it were to be auctioned, a piece that is a hundred years old or five hundred years old would be sufficient.

She's putting something tens of thousands of years old up for auction? Has she gone mad?!

……

These are all items that Ziyue plans to auction off later.

Especially items like solar-powered lamps, clocks, and Polaroid cameras—in this day and age, each one is a rare and precious treasure.

Qili Street was already the most bustling and prosperous main street in Luocheng. Now that the reputation of Baiqiao Linglong Pavilion has spread, Qili Street is even more crowded with people during the middle of each month.

People from other towns come from afar to visit.
