Chapter 1280: I’m Not As Outstanding As He Said
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and stared at Takayama Shita.
He would not be blinded by the other party’s flattery and really treat the other party as his fan.
The reason why this person did this definitely had an unspeakable conspiracy behind it.
He only glanced at the people around him who were already full of admiration for him, and he already roughly understood this person’s plan.
Firstly, he wanted to attract the attention of these people to him, distracting them so that they wouldn’t have the energy to pay attention to the treasures that were deliberately ‘hidden’.
Secondly, when these people were constantly paying attention to his every move, his movements would inevitably be restricted.
This could be said to be killing two birds with one stone. Only Miki-san, who had decided on the treasures, was the final winner.
After thinking through all this, the corners of his mouth immediately curled into a cold smile. Since he had actually schemed against him, then let’s see who was better at chess.
“Everyone, don’t listen to what Takayama-san said. I’m not as outstanding as he said. I’m just an ordinary appraiser. Everyone, hurry up and choose your
collection.”
He immediately waved his hand at the crowd and began to look at the collection.
But now that everyone knew of his miraculous battle record, they naturally paid close attention to his every move.
They all wanted to see what Mr. Ye would choose. They might be able to get a lot of benefits by following behind.
Ye Feng tried to persuade them a few times, but these people ignored him and followed him.
He was instantly furious. Fortunately, he had the system’s in-depth scanning. Even without looking, he could tell which ones were the real quality.
If it were anyone else, they might really be ruined by this group of people.
Toward these people’s strategy, he couldn’t help but sneer in his heart. You guys asked for it, so don’t blame me if you choose the wrong one.
Thinking of this, he began to deliberately stop in front of some defective products and observe them. He nodded from time to time as if he was very satisfied.
Then, he turned around and said to Lin Qianqian, “Remember this.”
He didn’t lower his voice. Instead, he used a volume that ensured that everyone could hear him.
Lin Qianqian was a little anxious. She hurriedly signaled him with her eyes to lower his voice.
But Ye Feng did not seem to understand her hint. He continued to do as he pleased.
Lin Qianqian couldn’t help but whisper into his ear, “Can’t you lower your voice? Everyone knows what we’re going to choose. They’ll definitely raise the price later.”
After Ye Feng heard this, he gave her a meaningful smile. “Trust me.”
Lin Qianqian still wanted to say something, but when she met his gaze, for some reason, she could no longer say those words in her heart.
Forget it, who asked him to be the boss?
Since the boss was not in a hurry, what was there to be anxious about?
Just like that, every time Ye Feng stopped to look at the items and asked Lin Qianqian to record them, the people behind him would quickly record them down.
The one hour of browsing time quickly came to an end.
Ye Feng also stopped watching. He turned around and walked toward the person who was still pretending to be taking notes.
“Takayama- san, how is your selection? Do you have anything you like?”
Takayama Shita did not expect Ye Feng to take the initiative to talk to him. He
was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. “Hey, I came here today to take a look. The collections here are too expensive. I don’t have the money to bid for them.”
Ye Feng casually glanced at the small notebook in his hand. “Takayama- san, you have memorized quite a lot of things. Can you let me take a look?”
Without waiting for the other party to agree, he immediately snatched his notebook.
After flipping through it twice, Takayama Shita snatched it back with a furious expression. “Mr. Ye, how can you look at other people’s things so casually?”
Ye Feng smiled apologetically. “l heard that you did not plan to participate in the bidding, so I looked at it. I’m really sorry.”
Takayama Shita glared at him hatefully, but he didn’t say anything else. He turned around and walked away.
His heart was pounding. This kid only took a glance just now. He probably didn’t see his bid clearly, right?
Actually, he came to the auction mainly because he was entrusted by Miki Chaoyang.
Although he said that it was a commission, he was actually a tool.
What kind of items were they auctioning and what was the price? Miki Chaoyang had already given him a list of names. He only needed to quote according to the list.
The other mission was to attract everyone’s attention to Ye Feng. As for Ye Fengs battle achievements, they were all given to him by Miki Chaoyang.
Actually, he didn’t believe in those things at all. They looked ridiculous at first glance. How could there be such an unbelievable thing?
However, those fools actually believed it.
No wonder he was toyed around by Miki-san, he deserved it!
Ye Feng looked at the back of Takayama Shita. A cold smile appeared on his face.
Although he had only glanced at it, he had already memorized the other party’s bid.
With his Thousand Skill Mastery, he only needed a few seconds to memorize a deck of cards, let alone a few strings of numbers.
And just as he had expected, the items that the other party had bid for perfectly coincided with the high-quality items that he had taken a fancy to with the in-depth scan.
At this moment, Lin Qianqian walked over with a small notebook in her hand. “Do we have to quote a price for all these items?”
Ye Feng glanced at her notebook that was filled with notes and shook his head. “Other than the ones you wrote down, I want everything else.” Lin Qianqian’s mouth was wide open as she looked at him in confusion.
What was this guy up to?
After the browsing time ended, everyone returned to the auction hall.
Sakikawa Taro walked back onto the stage and smiled at everyone. “l believe everyone has already found an item that you like. Now, please write down your bids on the price sheet. We will announce it on the spot.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member sent the price list to everyone.
After Lin Qianqian received it, she followed Ye Feng’s instructions and filled in the item’s serial number and price.
More than 20 price lists were completed in less than ten minutes.
At this moment, the others had also filled in their forms and handed the price lists to the staff.
Ye Feng was waiting for the result when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: “I am really sorry, I am late.”
He turned around and saw a slightly plump middle-aged man slowly walking into the hall.
The man had a mustache on his lips and was wearing a white tuxedo. He looked like a medieval noble.
And that Takayama Shita was following behind him like a pug.
Without asking, Ye Feng had already guessed this person’s identity.
Miki Chaoyang.
This person hadn’t shown up until now. Obviously, he felt that victory was in his hands and came out to reap the fruits.
It could be seen that Miki- san was very influential in the antique world. Everyone at the auction stood up and greeted him.
“Hello, Miki- san.’
“Miki-san…
