When I woke up, I entered Terraria?!

Chapter 142 Conversation before the Auction

In the carriage, Qi Yu and Zhang Xu were sitting face to face. Zhang Xu was seen with his legs crossed. As the car swayed, his white and slender thighs were slightly revealed from time to time through the gap of his teacher's robe. He leaned against the window, supporting his chin with his hand, looking at the scenery outside the window.

Qi Yu, who was sitting next to him, sat very properly, with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his mouth, and did not take the initiative to speak to Zhang Xu.

The driver in front was originally a chatty person, but due to the silent atmosphere in the carriage, he was forced to remain silent.

"Xiao Yu." Zhang Xu was the first to break the silence.

"Teacher." Qi Yu responded quickly.

"How is your relationship with Yuhong going now?" Zhang Xu asked, but his eyes were still looking out the window.

Qi Yu was caught off guard. He didn't expect Zhang Xu to ask him this question, so he said a little embarrassedly: "It's... it's okay."

Zhang Xu heard this, turned his head and looked at Qi Yu's embarrassed expression, smiled and said: "Yuhong seems to be a strong child, because she has experienced some bad things in the past, but you will know after you get along for a long time that deep down she still longs for the feeling of being loved."

After saying that, Zhang Xu winked at him and said, "You have to treat her well, okay? I have watched her grow up, and I already treat her like my own daughter."

After hearing this, Qi Yu immediately felt disdainful in his heart: Are you kidding? If I hadn’t seen some things through the system and knew that you had some secrets, I would really believe it.

But on the surface, Qi Yu still acted very pleased, raised his hand and assured: "Don't worry, teacher, I will protect her and will never let Sister Yuhong suffer any grievances."

Zhang Xu nodded: "Well, then you must quickly improve your strength and strive to reach the teacher level as soon as possible."

Feeling that Zhang Xu was intentionally or unintentionally selecting him to be promoted to a teacher again, he suddenly felt that something was wrong and a trace of vigilance arose in his heart, but due to insufficient information, he still didn't understand and had to agree on the surface.

After seeing Qi Yu agreed, Zhang Xu continued, "After we arrive at the Central Weapon Shop, you will follow me closely and I will take you into the auction venue. But after entering the venue, you will have to bid on your own."

"Myself? Teacher, aren't we together?" Qi Yu asked puzzledly.

Zhang Xu nodded: "That's right. The people participating in the auction will be separated and randomly shuffled, and the bids will be made by the venue staff. This is to prevent their true identities from being known and being hunted down."

Qi Yu nodded, indicating that he understood. Zhang Xu continued, "So, when you bid alone, let's set a secret code to prevent our bids from conflicting."

"Secret code?" Qi Yu's mind suddenly moved.

Zhang Xu snapped his fingers. "Yes, that's the code. This code will let you know if the person bidding at this moment is the other party. If so, don't bid, lest we both bid too high and end up losing more than we gain."

"I understand, teacher. Then what secret code should we use?" Qi Yu continued to ask.

Zhang Xu gestured with his hand: "Then let's use the number 5 as a secret code. If we want to test whether the other party is one of us, we can add 5 more gold coins at the end of the bid."

Qi Yu understood immediately after hearing this. What it meant was that when there were only two people left bidding, in order to avoid "internal fighting", the two could use this method to identify whether the other party was their own person. At that time, Qi Yu would give up and let Zhang Xu win the bid.

As for why you want to ask Qi Yu to give up, is there any need to explain? Do you understand the ways of the world? You want to become nutrients by snatching things from the teacher, right?

Qi Yu nodded to show that he understood, and then said, "I understand, teacher, but I feel that I can't afford the things that you like. I only have 13 platinum coins on me right now. If the academy hadn't given me 10 platinum coins, I could only buy some small things."

After saying that, Qi Yu scratched his head and laughed. In fact, he said this on purpose, in order to distinguish his character from himself with 30 platinum coins, and to avoid doubting himself when he and Zhang Xu were facing each other during the filming of "Frost Core".

Zhang Xu was slightly surprised: "You only saved 3 platinum coins before? Didn't I remind you to bring enough money? If not, you can borrow from Yuhong."

Qi Yu scratched his head in embarrassment. After all, he was really poor. "Before, the orcs recommended that I go to Master Lin to buy some weapons. The weapons there are of very good quality, but the price is too expensive, so I don't have much money left."

"As for Sister Yuhong..." Qi Yu paused and said, "As a man, I don't want to trouble him. What's more, he has to take care of her sister, and I don't think he will be that well-off."

Zhang Xu's expression gradually eased, and he said with a smile: "Okay, Xiaoyu, since you are so manly, Yuhong has really found a good boyfriend."

Qi Yu smiled and said nothing. Then he pretended to be casual and asked tentatively: "Teacher, how did Yu Xiao practice with you? Why did he improve so quickly? At such a young age, his strength is almost catching up with mine."

Zhang Xu nodded calmly, then smiled and asked, "Indeed, you have been training with me. You have a good talent and you work very hard. You can naturally reach this level of strength."

Finally, he asked casually, "Who told you that she was practicing with me? Was it Yuhong?"

Qi Yu was about to answer "Yes," but then he changed his mind and felt something was wrong, so he abruptly took back the words he was about to say.

So Qi Yu pretended to be relaxed and said, "No, I talked about it with her sister. Yu Xiao said that you are very good to her, you taught her a lot, and you take care of her in normal times. She likes you very much."

Zhang Xu frowned slightly and thought for a moment, but soon his brows relaxed again. He smiled at Qi Yu and said, "Oh, so it's my duty to take care of her. She is indeed a very obedient and good child. She is also very likable and learns things very quickly."

Zhang Xu couldn't tell whether Qi Yu was lying or not, because she didn't know what the masked man had modified in Su Yuxiao's memory, so she had to go along with Qi Yu's words.

When Qi Yu heard Zhang Xu say these words, his heart sank slightly, because those previous words were all made up by Qi Yu himself, Su Yuxiao had never said these words to him, and Zhang Xu's words just now were obviously in line with his own, so there must be something wrong here.

But even if there are problems here, Qi Yu cannot take care of it now. At this moment, his strength is still too weak, so he has to give up for the time being.

At this moment, the driver in front shouted to the back: "Master mages, we have arrived at the central weapon shop."
