"C'mon..." Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number One was clearly not happy. "We already showed our skill, it's only fair if you showed yours."
"That's right. There's no other time left..." Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two urged as he waved a catalogue with his left hand. "According to the catalogue, the next item is the last nameless ornament. Which means, it is the last useless thing to be sold. If you don't show your skill now, there's no another time."
"I'm not doing it." Feng Ao Xiu persists.
"Hmmph..." Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number One frowned, "Looks like you have no skill! Are you really a scammer?"
[I'm not!!!] Feng Ao Xiu wanted to shout but decided to keep in his heart.
"I see that you're still inexperienced." Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two patted on the Real Feng Ao Xiu's shoulder.
He remembered that this guy was the one who used something slow like a carriage to travel while posing as Feng Ao Xiu. Which was unlike a supreme expert, there's no way someone as powerful as Feng Ao Xiu would use such a slow vehicle. Even walking was a thousand times faster.
The guy spent too much time on imitating Feng Ao Xiu's look, and he was the one who looks the closest to the real one. However, that was the only good thing about him. Other than that, everything's horrible, in an example, he threw a rage when claiming himself as Feng Ao Xiu. Just like before, there's no way the real one would become so angry when introducing oneself.
The two Fake Feng Ao Xiu could easily decipher that this guy was a rookie scammer.
Furthermore, among all the other with the same profession he met, this guy was too timid and did not talk too much. Without proper communication skill, how could he be a decent scammer?
As a senior, Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two would love to help this rookie.
"Look... If you want to be a great scammer like us, you have to take this opportunity as a practice."
Feng Ao Xiu wants to cry. They won't believe he's the real one. Now, they won't even leave him when he does not partic.i.p.ate.
In the end, Feng Ao Xiu made the hard decision, "All right, I'll do it."
"Good!" Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two smiled. "The most important thing is to make sure everyone knows you really want that useless item and make sure they see it as a treasure."
Feng Ao Xiu was determined. Now that he joined, he would try his best to win.
Finally, the bid opened.
"The next item is a traditional hairpin. It is elegant and exquisite, any young woman would certainly love it, it is the perfect gift to give it to your wife or girlfriend. Starts from 50 silver taels and an increase of 2 silver taels in every bid!"
Feng Ao Xiu immediately said, "20000 silver taels!"
"What! This is crazy!"
"That Fake Feng Ao Xiu bid 20000 silver taels just for a hairpin. He must be rich!"
Feng Ao Xiu acts happy, he clenched his fists, then he shakes his hip.
"Oh! He is happy! Why is he dancing around like that?"
"As expected from rich people, you can't know what they're thinking."
The manager couldn't believe it, he saw a miracle happening for three times straight.
The auctioneer started counting. "Three seconds before the bid close..."
"Two..."
"One..."
However, outside of expectation, no one else made the bid.
"Sold for 20000 silver taels to the Fake Feng Ao Xiu in seat number 496!"
Feng Ao Xiu was shocked.
[What! How could this have happened!?]

Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number One shook his head, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have forced you to join us."
Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two patted on the Feng Ao Xiu's back, "Don't worry, I'm sure you can be good at it someday. There's always another chance."
The Real Feng Ao Xiu's mouth twitched. Motherf*cker! I shouldn't have joined these scammers. Not only I have to buy a useless hairpin for 20000 silver taels, but I also got pitied by these two!!
Actually, for Feng Ao Xiu, 20000 silver taels were nothing. But, he couldn't just endure the fact that he failed and got humiliated.
The next item started. This time, it was a good one, that some people showed an interest in.
"The next item is the Mystic Star Ore. This is one of the rarest ore. No one could find on this land because it comes down from the sky, which only happens once every four years."
"This ore was especially popular among blacksmith as a component to make a weapon of. The weapon made from this ore will be better than ordinary iron by a hundred times. And Qi will easily flow through this ore and make your skill comes out easier. The price starts at 30 gold taels and at least an increase of 5 gold taels in every bid."
Feng Ao Xiu was also interested. He could think of many things to make with that ore. "30 gold taels!"
"Him again? Isn't that the rich Fake Feng Ao Xiu who bought the ordinary hairpin for 20000 silver taels?"
"Yes, it is him. But he was rich, otherwise, there's no way he would buy a hairpin with such a ridiculous price. Now, he also wants this ore... Isn't it better to just let him have it?"
"But, I want that ore so much..." The man put his hand on his chin. Then, he said, "Ugghh... 35 gold taels!"
Feng Ao Xiu won't back down, he was ready to buy this ore until 100 gold taels. Quickly, he said, "40!"
The man who made the previous bid sighed, "He's so fast and confident... I don't think I compete with him."
"It's a shame, you even prepared to buy it for 150 gold taels..." his friend said.
"That's right... Maybe I should just let it go, maybe I could earn myself a favour to this rich man by not bidding."
"You're probably right... There's still another good item anyway..."
In the end, no one else made a bid anymore.
"Sold... To the Fake Feng Ao Xiu in seat number 496..."
The manager was not happy about this. How could the Mystic Star Ore be sold for only 40 gold taels? In the auction one year ago, it was sold for 180 gold taels and in the auction half a year ago was even crazier. It was sold for 255 gold taels.
The two Fake Feng Ao Xiu surprised.
[This... How could he get it with such a low price?]
[Could it be? ...No, he probably just got lucky.]
"The next item is Fire Silkworm Cloth. This cloth was made from the endangered Third Rank Spirit Beast, the Fire Silkworm. It was known to withstand heat and protect oneself from a sharp weapon."
"This cloth could only be created about one squared meter per year. But now we offer you three squared meters. The price starts at 50 gold taels and an increase of 5 gold taels in every bid."
Feng Ao Xiu immediately said, "60 gold taels!"
"60 gold taels for the Fake Feng Ao Xiu in seat number 496. Anyone wants to bid higher?"
"..."
"Three seconds until the bid closes..."
"Two..."
"One..."
"Sold... To the Fake Feng Ao Xiu in seat number 496..."
The manager wants to cry. How could this have happened again? The Fire SIlkworm Cloth which usually could get to 300 gold taels, was taken at a base price. This has never happened before.
The two Fake Feng Ao Xiu were especially shocked.
[This guy is not a rookie, he's a real professional! Buy bidding that hairpin at such a ridiculous price, he a.s.serts himself as a rich man. And intimidate everyone to not bid after him.]
[This is a high-level skill that I can't even use! How could he do it so smoothly? What is it that he does to make this happen? I don't understand!]
Feng Ao Xiu was happy that he got two items cheaply. But, he was wondering why no one was bidding after him.
