Chapter 604
Just as Della was about to speak.
The waiter came over.
"Distinguished guests, what would you like to drink?"
"Yes, yes, sir, what would you like to drink?"
Della became even more nervous. All her previous rehearsals were rendered useless, and she completely forgot her prepared remarks. She even forgot to order drinks for Xiao Weiqing.
"Whatever... I'm fine with anything, you do it, I'm not familiar with these things."
Xiao Weiqing was about to say "whatever" when he suddenly remembered that the Holy Land really did have a drink called "whatever," but the taste was a bit strange.
"Then two cups of Cloud Sparrow."
"Okay, that'll be 2 Cosmic Coins in total."
"Go ahead and swipe."
Della felt a pang of regret and held out her hand, ready to pay.
"I'll do it."
Xiao Weiqing pressed down on Della's hand. 2 universe coins, which is 20 credits, just for two drinks in the virtual world. Even Xiao Weiqing felt a little pained, mainly because he felt it wasn't worth it.
As Qiu Ming's secretary, Della had only recently taken up her post, and 2 cosmic coins was no small sum.
The same is true.
2 cosmic coins is half a year's salary for Della.
No, that won't do.
Della hurriedly grabbed Xiao Weiqing's hand, but then felt offended and didn't know what to do.
"Listen to me."
Xiao Weiqing gestured to the waiter to pay.
The waiter understood and swept his hand across Xiao Weiqing's wrist. After sweeping, the waiter was shocked and quickly bowed.
"Dear guest of the Seventh Heaven, I apologize for not recognizing you earlier."
"Is this seat suitable? Would you like to move to a private room?"
Xiao Weiqing glanced at the waiter, "No need, this is fine. You can pay first."
"It is our honor to have you, as you are a distinguished guest. You are welcome to sample any of our drinks."
"Oh, thank you. I'll call you if I need anything."
"Yes."
The waiter didn't dare to delay for a second and turned to leave.
"See? We saved 2 cosmic coins, didn't we?"
Xiao Weiqing chuckled.
Della stared blankly at Xiao Weiqing, who was smiling. This was the first time she had met someone like him. He had an extremely noble status, yet he was completely unpretentious, unlike the important figures she had met.
Before coming to the Holy Land from Galli, she was told to be extremely careful once she arrived, and not to anger any important figures, because the slightest mistake could bring annihilation to the Galli civilization.
Xiao Weiqing looked at Della's face, thought for a moment, and asked:
"Did Qiu Ming send you to find me?"
"Um."
Della was startled and came to her senses. Seeing that Xiao Weiqing was staring at her, she suddenly felt a strange palpitation.
Xiao Weiqing said, "Do you know? You look a lot like us Blue Star people."
"I...I know."
"In the eyes of us Earthlings, you are definitely a great beauty, at least in my eyes."
Della lowered her head and remained silent.
"Don't worry, I didn't mean anything by that. I just wanted to say that if there's any cooperation involved, let's keep it business as it is, understand?"
"Speak, what is it? You only have one chance."
Della took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, quickly organizing the tone she had prepared, and began to speak:
"Sir, it's like this..."
"So, Qiu Ming wants you to establish a Level 3 Yuling Auction House on Blue Star?"
"Um."
Xiao Weiqing thought for a few seconds and said:
"What can I get in return?"
When Della saw that Xiao Weiqing did not refuse immediately, it meant that there was room for negotiation. She was overjoyed and explained her best contingency plan.
"You say these plans are too early. My question is, what will I get in return? What will Earth get in return?"
Della paused, then explained:
"My lord, establishing a Level 3 Yuling Auction House would be extremely beneficial to any Level 1 civilization."
"in....."
"No."
Xiao Weiqing interrupted Della.
"Indeed, I don't deny that having a Level 3 Yuling Auction House is a good thing for any lower civilization, but the Blue Star civilization is an exception."
"Our Blue Star civilization has only opened a few trade routes so far, mainly dealing with the forces controlled by the Nanwu civilization."
"Currently, I am the only one in the entire Blue Star civilization who has left the Land of Infancy and joined the Holy Land."
"Establishing a Level 3 Universe Auction House now is taking too big a step; we don't know enough about the Fifth Universe yet."
"Do you get me?"
Della nodded. "But, my lord, do you not fully understand your Seventh Heaven's authority?"
Xiao Weiqing smiled.
"I know, you can tell from some things, and I've also inquired about it myself."
"But, Della, I only possess the authority of the Seventh Heaven, I am not a true member of the Seventh Heaven, understand?"
"I came from the land of birth to the holy land, and through the battle to ascend to heaven, I entered the sixth heaven. I was very careful all the way, as if walking on thin ice."
"I have always believed that what you have in your hands is what truly belongs to you, just like your strength; everything else is meaningless."
Xiao Weiqing clenched his fist.
Della looked on in surprise, and seeing Xiao Weiqing's serious expression, she wondered if she had misheard.
She obtained information about Xiao Weiqing's arrival at the Holy Land from Qiu Ming, read it carefully several times, and had memorized it.
Xiao Weiqing first showed his talent in the Guiding Star, and then made his first appearance in the arena round-robin tournament.
Then, he shone brightly in the battle to ascend to heaven, and forcefully entered the sixth heaven.
After entering the sixth level of heaven, he seized treasures in the Purple Sea, defeated Sogo, who was ranked 19th in strength at the time, single-handedly, and even attracted the attention of an Undying Realm expert.
Then, in the battle of Yunjing Mountain, he ranked 8th, causing a sensation in the Six Heavens.
At Yuantan, Daphne was directly suppressed, resulting in Daphne being imprisoned.
In the second month, Yunjingshan even climbed to third place.
Xiao Weiqing can now be considered the number one person in the sixth heaven, because Fan Luo and Morseius are already considered to be people in the seventh heaven.
Adding to what happened yesterday, Paler was forced to apologize, and it's said he was banished to Snowfield Star. Keep in mind that Paler is the son of an Undying Realm expert.
These things add up.
Where were you being extra careful?
Where is it like walking on thin ice?
"Then, sir, do you disagree with the auction of the Level 3 Universe Feather?"
Della's face paled; she had messed up after all. She would eventually have to report to Anse Star.
Xiao Weiqing laughed. "When did I say I disagreed?"
"Let's leave it for now, we'll talk about it after I enter the Seventh Heaven."
"Perhaps Manager Qiu can't wait and will set up the Level 3 Yu Ling Auction House somewhere else."
Della shook her head. "Sir, that's impossible. The Level 3 Yuling Auction House is Manager Qiu's most important trump card."
"General Manager Kangu said that yesterday's events had a significant impact on the reputation of Yuling Auction House. If Manager Qiu handles it well and satisfies you, the Level 8 manager position will remain with Manager Qiu. If it's not handled well, Manager Qiu will have to become someone else's secretary, and I will also..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Della looked like she was about to cry.
Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow slightly. "Is that so?"
"Then why doesn't he come and talk to them himself?"
"Manager Qiu is giving me a chance. If I succeed in negotiating, I will become the manager of the Level 3 Yu Ling Auction House. If I fail and he steps in again, I will remain his secretary."
"Just because you look a lot like us Earthlings?"
"Um."
Xiao Weiqing sighed softly, almost laughing, "Why make things so complicated?"
Think for a moment.
Xiao Weiqing said, "How about this, I'll find two people, and you can talk to them."
"Establishing a Level 3 Yuling Auction House would indeed be a good thing for Blue Star, but not now. We'll wait until I enter the Seventh Heaven before making any decisions."
"real?"
Della was overjoyed, but then things took an unexpected turn.
"Well, you can figure it out yourselves and sign an agreement first."
