However, he could not be blamed for this. After all, Wu Mo looked really young and did not look like a blacksmith with a stomach full of knowledge.

He snapped his fingers and a leather certificate appeared in his palm.

“This is the certificate issued by Shanglin City’s Blacksmith Guild. May I enter now?”

Wu Mo smiled and did not get angry.

“I’m sorry, my eyesight isn’t the best.”

When the doorman saw Wu Mo take his ID out of thin air, he realized that Wu Mo was not an ordinary person.

He did not dare to take the certificate but immediately opened the glass door.

Upon entering Treasure Trove Pavilion, Wu Mo discovered that it was a completely different space.

It did not look big on the outside, but the living room within was incredibly spacious.

Wu Mo stepped on the soft wool blanket and looked around curiously.

He discovered that there were many spatial arrays in the living room, as well as devices that could distort light.

“Sir, may I know what kind of equipment or materials you need?”

He had only taken a few steps when a receptionist in a white shirt came up to him.

The latter had a pretty face, and being in her early 20s, she was at the age of a budding flower. Her figure was well-proportioned, and her skin was fair. She was one of the prettiest girls he had seen in a long time.

He looked at her sweet smile and listened to her bell-like voice.

He was suddenly reminded of Yu Qing, the receptionist in Shanglin City’s Treasure Pavilion.

Back then, he had received his first commission from her, and from that, he formed a partnership with Treasure Pavilion.

“Um, I need some precious materials. I’d like to ask if you have any in stock?”

Wu Mo immediately took out a piece of paper from his clothes.

On it was the list of materials he had prepared before he left.

“Alright, please wait a moment, Sir.”

The receptionist took a look at the list and frowned before she immediately walked in the manager’s direction.

As a receptionist, she did not understand the effects of the materials as well as the blacksmiths.

However, she could list out the prices of most of the materials as if they were her family heirlooms.

Despite that, she did not know what most of the materials on the list that the young man had given her looked like. To avoid neglecting the guest, she had to find the manager.

Within a few minutes, Wu Mo was brought to a private room on the second floor.

In addition to the previous receptionist, there was also a 30-year-old young man in a dark suit sitting opposite him.

“Sir, regarding the materials you need, our Treasure Trove Pavilion has them all in stock, but one of them has already entered the auction process. You’ll only be able to purchase it by participating in the auction and offering the highest price.

“As for the rest of the materials, we have already reserved them for you, Sir. We’re just not sure if you’ll find the price acceptable.”

The young man’s words were clear, and he spoke with a sense of propriety. While he expressed what he wanted to say, he did not forget to take care of Wu Mo’s feelings.

However, Wu Mo was surprised. The materials he had chosen were extremely rare and would not be used under normal circumstances.

Even if the chamber of commerce had some in stock, they would usually just gather dust. It was difficult to find a buyer for them, yet the price was relatively high. Normally, they could only wait for a fated person to come along.

In most cases, the materials would not enter the auction process.

After all, in a regular auction, there would not be more than 50 items at a time. It would take a lot of time to introduce a piece of equipment or material. It would be difficult for an item to enter the auction unless it was popular.

Treasure Trove Pavilion’s manager seemed to sense the doubt in Wu Mo’s heart and immediately explained with a smile, “I’m sorry, Sir. Under normal circumstances, we wouldn’t auction the graphite powder, but there have been many customers who want to buy it recently.

“And they are all from families that we cannot afford to offend. For the sake of fairness, we can only arrange an auction.”

After hearing the manager’s explanation, Wu Mo finally understood. He could only sigh in his heart at his bad luck.

He then changed the subject to the price of the other materials.

“Tell me, how much do the other materials cost?” Wu Mo asked.

Wu Mo’s calm attitude seemed to indicate that he was prepared for this.

The young manager quickly replied, “There are nine sets of materials in total. The total price is ¥3,140,000. As a blacksmith, you probably realize that these materials are very expensive. On top of that, their annual production is extremely little.”

The manager immediately gave the reason once he stated the price. More than three million was not a small amount after all. Even if Wu Mo had some wealth, it would likely be difficult for him to accept it on the spot.

However, before the manager could finish, Wu Mo interrupted them.

“How about ¥3,000,000? I’ll pay immediately if it’s okay.”

Wu Mo lowered the price a little. As Treasure Pavilion’s special consultant, he knew that the prices of materials would fluctuate and could, of course, be haggled.

Nevertheless, Wu Mo’s words made the manager and the receptionist dumbfounded.

They thought that it would be difficult to secure this deal due to the price since Wu Mo was too young. If it had been someone else, they would have brought the items to the buyer straight away. Then he could check them out and haggle before paying.

Wu Mo’s response was beyond their expectations, and they were taken aback.

Moreover, Wu Mo had offered ¥3,000,000, and judging from his tone, it was as if he was talking about something that could not be more normal.

The manager and receptionist were utterly shocked.

“Uh…”

The manager was so stunned that he could not even speak at this moment.

The anxious receptionist at the side promptly said, “Manager, this gentleman is asking if you’re willing to sell the materials we prepared earlier for ¥3,000,000.”

The manager did not react until the staff next to him spoke. He immediately stood up and bowed to Wu Mo.

“I’m sorry, Sir, for neglecting you before. To express our apologies, Treasure Trove Pavilion will sell these materials to you at a 15% discount. The total price is ¥3,140,000, but after the discount, it will only be ¥2,510,000. In addition, we will give you a Platinum Membership Card. I hope you can forgive our previous error.”

The manager had a serious expression as if he was shaken by Wu Mo’s wealth.

Wu Mo never thought the price of the materials could go any lower. He was a little surprised.

However, the receptionist standing at the side was the most shocked one.

A Platinum Membership Card was something that only the big shots who had spent ¥10,000,000 in Treasure Trove Pavilion had the right to own.

Ever since they were established, they had only issued a few hundred Platinum Membership Cards.

As for the higher-level Diamond Membership Card, they could count with both hands, because to obtain a Diamond Membership Card, one had to spend more than ¥100,000,000 in Treasure Trove Pavilion. One’s strength should also be six stars at the very least. Such strict rules made it difficult to spot a Diamond Membership Card in Treasure Trove Pavilion.

Only true experts from aristocratic families and consortiums could get them.
