After entering the auction, Duan Gujin and Lie Lei were guided by a waiter to a secluded corner of the venue. They were not special guests, nor had they received a special invitation from the Star Pill Association.
Therefore, they could only enter the auction like ordinary people and sit at the very back.
Generally speaking, those sitting in the back of the auction were seen as having lower status.
While those of distinguished identity were arranged to sit in the VIP seats, receiving special care.
The auction venue was circular, and in the middle stood a high tower, upon which the auction items were displayed.
After a while, a beautiful hostess informed everyone that the auction was about to start and asked everyone to take their seats.
Once Duan Gujin and Lie Lei were seated, a waiter brought each a sheet of paper, which listed the evening's auction schedule and the items up for bid.
Duan Gujin took the sheet and carefully began to browse through it.
