  The next morning, in Chen Le's room which was luxurious to the point of explosion.

  "Hey, hey, kid! Get up already!" Connor's sly voice echoed in this dazzling room filled with gold coins.

  "Old fellow! What time is it? The sky hasn't even brightened up yet." Chen Le pointed to the window made of jade glass and said.

  "Hey, kid, aren't you going to adapt to that furnace?" Connor asked in puzzlement.

  "What's the point of trying! I don't need it!" Chen Le said with a hint of anger.

  "You little scamp, don't you know what's good for you? I'm doing this for your own good, letting you get used to that fiery furnace!" Connor said, puffing out his chest and glaring.

  "If I don't go, it will be like this again." Chen Le lay on that cold iron bed, without any intention of getting up.

  "If you don't go, you might get stage fright, and if you get stage fright, you'll fail. If you fail, you'll lose face, and if you lose face, I'll lose face too!" Connor said with his hands clasped together.

  "That's enough! Why must you insist on calling me your disciple!" Chen Le shouted.

  "You'll see, just give it some time! I'm just exercising my authority ahead of schedule!" Connor laughed loudly.

  "If it weren't for Mondo and Alice still being here, I'd have killed you with one slash!" Chen Le cursed.

  "Ha! You think you can kill me? Don't dream on! Although the level difference isn't huge, how could a mere 7th-level assassin like you possibly defeat a 9th-level assassin like me?" Connor laughed loudly.

  "Never mind, never mind. Grandpa, you go ahead, I'll take care of it myself later." Chen Le said weakly.

  "Alright, my dear apprentice. Remember it's 10:07 at the Seven Star Auction House in the morning, don't get lost." Conner said and then disappeared.

  "This guy is finally gone." Chen Le's face finally revealed a hint of a relaxed smile.

  "I will find a way to revive you." Chen Le thought to himself, stroking the red gemstone in his arms.

  "Sleep some more."

  9:30

  "This sleep is really refreshing, I haven't slept like this in a long time." Chen Le looked at the sun hanging high and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

  "There's still half an hour left, forget it, I'll just head over first." Chen Le said as he walked out the door.

  "Arthur Connor says hurry up." said the receptionist of District 4.

  "Ugh, I was just about to go." Chen Le said weakly.

  "Huh, where did Mondo and Alice go? Even the receptionist in the first district has disappeared." Chen Le walked out of the Dou Shen Inn, a wave of doubt surged up in his heart.

  "Sir, you've finally come out. Mr. Connor told me to send you to the Seven Star Auction House as soon as I see you." The coachman said anxiously as he saw Chen Le walking out.

  "Alright then, let's go." Chen Le said as he sat in the horse-drawn carriage.

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  The Seven Star Auction House has a total of seven areas: Dan medicine, weapons, armor, materials, alchemy, slaves, and magic crystals.

  Each of these areas covers about 500 mu. So the entire Seven Star Auction House occupies half of the area of the entire Sangzhao District.

  "It's really TM big." Chen Le felt defeated by the architecture of this world.

  Although it is not a high-rise building, this has more impact than a high-rise building.

  "There are a lot of people at Qī Xīng Auction House today." The driver complained.

  "Huh? Isn't this the number of people that should be at this auction house?" Chen Le said in puzzlement.

  "It's like this, sir. The Seven Star Auction House was jointly established by the five major kingdoms of the Iron Fire Alliance. So there are many types of goods here. Since all five kingdoms supply goods during winter, the Seven Star Auction House is most lively in winter. But it's only early May now, and there shouldn't be so many people," the coachman explained to Chen Le.

  "It should be related to that gamble." Chen Le thought silently: "This old man has such great power?"

  "Sir, we have arrived at Dan Medicine District." The driver's voice came from outside.

  "Alright." Chen Le walked down the car and saw the first sight of Dan medicine area was that parabolic appearance. Then at the top there was a huge furnace.

  "As expected, the architecture in this world is indeed bizarre." Chen Le said helplessly.

  "Hey, hey, young one, are you Connor's apprentice?" asked a 1.4-meter tall dwarf with a big beard who walked over.

  "I'm not." Chen Le replied calmly.

  "It seems I've been waiting for the wrong person. That Connor fellow said his apprentice was supposed to arrive at this time?" The dwarf muttered to himself there.

  "Alright, I'm Connor's apprentice, what can I do for you?" Chen Le admitted helplessly.

  "I told you, didn't I? Sitting in that broken-down carriage with a head full of white hair - if it wasn't you, who else could it be? I thought for a moment I'd mistaken the person." The big-bearded dwarf said with a hearty laugh.

  "Alright, senior, can you tell me now why you're looking for me?" Chen Le asked.

  "Right, right, right! Come on, follow me, or you'll be late!" said the dwarf with a big beard as he ran.

  "Oh, I haven't had breakfast yet!" Chen Le also quickened his pace and followed.

  They ran like the wind and reached the top of this building.

  A sea of people, this was Chen Le's first time seeing so many humans.

  "Hey kid, come here." Connor said with his sunflower-like face turned towards Chen Le.

  "Ah." Chen Le let out a sigh and then walked directly to Connor's side.

  "Ladies and gentlemen! I, Connor Kenway, finally met someone who can be my direct disciple yesterday! However, this kid has a temper just like mine back in the day, so arrogant, so I want to take him down a peg. And he proposed this wager: if he wins, he wants my two slaves; if he loses, he'll become my direct disciple! Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you all understand the stakes of the wager now. I think we can't be stingy with this wager, Tiancai Merchant Association has also expressed interest in setting up a betting pool for this match. Personally, I'm putting 100,000 gold coins on my future disciple losing. What about you all?"

  "Since Old Connor is so generous, I won't be stingy either. I'll spend 100,000 gold coins to buy his disciple's loss!" A giant sword warrior wearing a magnificent armor stood up and said.

  "Oh, my old friend Grand Duke Sherman, you'll thank me for helping you win so many gold coins." Connor said with a smile.

  "Hahaha, Connor, have a drink tonight." Grand Duke Sherman said with a smile.

  "Where's Master Mack? What do you think?" Connor asked with a smile to the dwarf who had received Chen Le.

  "I bet the suit of chilled iron armor I just crafted." Mack said with a smile.

  "Wow, Master Mike's big move! Tiancai Shanghui's, quickly help Master Mike appraise it, then buy my disciple's loss." Connor said loudly.

  "No, no, no, I'm not buying your apprentice losing," Mack said, shaking his head. "I'm buying your apprentice winning!"

  "Heavens!" The crowd was shocked.

  "Master Mack, have you gone mad?" Connor said with a stunned expression.

  "I didn't," Mack said innocently.

  "Oh, Mac, I think you're confused." Connor said, covering his own eyes.

  "Old Connor, it seems you have no idea what your apprentice is truly capable of." Mack said with narrowed eyes.

  "It's not just a seventh-level warrior, although I admit he is absolutely a genius in terms of martial arts, but I absolutely do not admit that he is also a genius in alchemy!" Connor said with a snort and a glare.

  "Oh, old Connor, you'll regret this," Mack said.

  Kang Na didn't answer and just looked at Chen Le who was coming on stage.

  "The current bet is 50 million gold coins to buy Connor's disciple losing, the odds are 1:1300. The bet to buy Connor's disciple winning is 1:18." The Tiancai Chamber of Commerce people roared in the magic crystal tube.

  "How about I bet with a magic crystal?" The person involved, Chen Le, finally spoke up.

  "Alright, but we only accept magic crystals of level 5 and above here. Level 5 magic crystal is 5,000 each, level 6 is 10,000, level 7 is 30,000, and level 8 is 50,000. How many are you willing to sell?" the Tiancai Chamber of Commerce asked.

  "Perfect score!"

  A bolt from the blue, many people were shocked by such a big move.

  "40W gold coins, Connor, it seems that even your disciples don't think highly of themselves." Sherman said with a smile.

  "I'll buy it myself and win!" Chen Le said firmly.

  The crowd was silent as if all the birds had stopped chirping.

  "Can't it be done?" Chen Le said in puzzlement.

  "Go ahead, but there's no turning back here." The Tiancai Chamber of Commerce replied.

  "Of course." Chen Le confirmed and said.

  "Fire at will!"
