Manager Liu shook his head and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. Encyclo Hall's consultation opportunity is a rare auction item of the company. There is only one opportunity every month, and many people want to consult us and get answers."
"Therefore, I apologize, for I can't privately sell this opportunity to you!"
Fade's face changed from hopeful to disappointed, but he was understanding. "It's my fault for not doing my research properly before coming here. I'm sorry for putting you in this difficult situation. In that case, I'll wait till the auction starts."
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Chen!" Manager Liu nodded gratefully and said, "Mr. Chen, since you are Romeo's friend, I won't let you leave here empty-handed. I'll give you a piece of insider information in advance. Based on my experience and the previous auction data, a single consultation will usually be auctioned off for about one billion yuan."
"One billion yuan!" Fade exclaimed. It wasn't a low price, especially when it was only for a single session. However, it wasn't too expensive for Fade. Fade nodded, doing calculations in his mind. He flashed Manager Liu a grin, and thanked him happily.
"No need to thank me, Mr. Chen. You are Romeo's friend, so you're my friend too." Manager Liu said, currying favor with Romeo through his words.
"Mr. Chen, Romeo told me that you are a martial artist and a doctor. He also told me that you are very good with drug formulas or something like that."
"If you want, you can also put some drug formulas or medicines up for auction in Encyclo Hall," Manager Liu offered.
Fade had never thought about this, and he considered it for a moment. Fade knew many drug formulas, but they would lose their worth if they were put up for auction. Instead, he had nourishing pills he made before that could be put up for auction.
In this way, he could recover a part of his funds if anything unexpected happened at the auction.
"Speaking of this, I really do have an item that I'd like to put up for auction," Fade said.
"What is it?" Manager Liu asked curiously.
Fade immediately retrieved a small jade bottle from his pocket, which contained the nourishing pills he previously prepared to exchange for information from the Luo family. "Manager Liu, this is a nourishing pill that I refined. It can soothe nerves, activate the collateral circulation, clear away heat and toxins, and promote longevity. If taken long term, it may extend one or two years of life."
Manager Liu's face dropped when he heard about the functions of the nourishing pill. In his opinion, the functions were too worthless. As for longevity, it was indeed something that many people were seeking after. However, the effect of prolonging one or two years of life was probably exaggerated.
"Nourishing pill. It's the first time I've heard of it," Manager Liu commented unenthusiastically.
"I made it myself."
Manager Liu became even more uninterested when Fade said that. "Mr. Chen, if the amount of the pill is too little, I'm afraid when we put it up for auction-"
Fade understood what he meant and interrupted, "Manager Liu, my nourishing pill is not just any ordinary pill. I did not exaggerate the effects of the pills. If you don't believe me, you may ask the professionals to evaluate its quality."
Manager Liu frowned.
"Mr. Liu, Instructor Chen is not an ordinary person. The things he would show us are absolutely one of a kind." "Is it true?" Manager Liu was still unimpressed, but out of respect for Romeo, he picked up the phone and muttered some instructions to the receiver.
Shortly after, an elder dressed in a long robe walked into the office.
