Chapter 15 Auction (Beginning)
Chapter 15 Auction (start)
On the 28th day of the first month of the world, the auction of "Pangu City" that everyone has been waiting for for a long time finally began. It can be said that this auction is definitely the largest event since the beginning of the game, but you can already know its popularity by looking at the number of people. "Pangu City" originally had more than 1 million players, mainly distributed in four urban areas in the southeast, west and northwest. The inner city belongs to a world where NPCs are concentrated. There are a large number of system stores here, accounting for 60% of the entire "Pangu City" store, and "Tianxia Auction House" is also located here.
At the same time, before the auction began, the conflict between the gangs also escalated, but this time, the official "Pangu City" sent NPC city guards to maintain public order, causing the huge gangs to be popular and disappear invisible. From this, it can be seen that the official attaches importance to this auction.
Of course, our fat pig boss is the happiest one. Because so far, the ticket sales of more than 50,000 seats alone have allowed Fat pig to recover all the previous investment. There are 5 gold coins in the front seats, 2 silver coins in the rear seats, and 1 gold coins in the middle seats; plus the VIP private room, each of which is 100 gold coins, after all the seats were sold, Fat pig suddenly found that he had earned 70,000 gold coins. In addition to the previous publicity and other expenses, he actually earned more than 20,000 gold coins. Why didn’t he be happy?
Fat Pig is happy, and I also shared his happy mood. Because as the only gold member of the auction house, I can have a gold-level VIP private room for free, which is a private room specially reserved for the gold members by the auction house. The luxurious facilities inside are shocking.
At 9:00 in the morning, players from all over the country stepped into the auction hall. The usually unused channel can accommodate 10 parallel channels, which now seems very crowded. According to my observation, at least 15 players are crowded together on the same width. This situation is very common in China, like taking a train. Although everyone has tickets (now the transportation is developed, there is no such thing as station tickets for sale in the past), everyone still competes for the first place, as if they are late to go to their seats and run away.
Fortunately, I am a Golden Member and can directly access the Golden Member Room on the third floor through the stairs. My private room number is 007, located in the middle of this floor, and it is the best geographical location. The layout inside the private room is very luxurious. The most eye-catching thing is the white marble screen you see when you enter the door. The screen is carved with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes, and it also represents an identity. Yesterday when I came to get familiar with the environment, I was almost frightened by the screen.
Such a large piece of white marble is worth very much. Because I have seen it on the official website that white marble is a high-end material with high value and can be made of weapons and equipment or jewelry.
It’s a pity that all the items here are ornamental and cannot be taken away. Otherwise, stealing a few pieces of him will make the fat pig cry to death. Hehe... Turning around the screen, it’s a living room with some expensive mahogany tables and chairs around the living room, and some strange fruits are placed on the table. These fruits are all edible and taste very good. It’s a pity that there is only one of them, and they won’t refresh them again after eating them.
In the center of the living room, there is a crystal jar filled with clear water. This crystal jar is an application of advanced Taoism. As long as you touch the crystal jar, all the situations in the auction hall will be displayed in the void. The scene can be far or near, the whole or part, and it can be completely controlled through voice.
There is an auctioneer next to the crystal jar, which is divided into six bidding methods. It is one-time +10 gold coins, +50 gold coins, +100 gold coins, +500 gold coins, +1000 gold coins and the number of input gold coins.
Half an hour before the auction began, I was leisurely eating delicious fruits and watching the fan-shaped auction house rushing, which had a unique flavor. There was a large auction stand at the bottom of the fan-shaped auction house, with a shelf for equipment on it, allowing players to watch the physical objects. Behind the auction table, there is a huge screen, which can display huge images of the auction items, and list its attributes and player bids.
Sitting in the private room, I could actually hear the conversations of players outside. Although the front row could not be heard clearly because the distance was too far, the speeches of the players sitting in the back row were clearly transmitted into my ears.
The most talked about are the items that will be auctioned today, of course, my "Dragon and Tiger Pill" is indispensable. Some players are looking for their prey with the auction list given by the auction house, and discussing with their companions how to bid for it to be reasonable; some people even ask their friends to hire them to help them (that is, ask someone to increase the price of their auction items at auction, because their auction items cannot be bid), hoping that they can grasp that scale, otherwise they will be injustice without stealing the chicken without losing the rice.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the headlights of the auction house suddenly went out, leaving only a light on the auction table, which immediately quieted down the entire auction house. Zhang San slowly entered the venue under the gaze of the crowd. Today, Zhang San was wearing an ancient long gown, silk crown, cloud boots, and his iconic plump body, and the whole appearance of an ancient fornician.
"Well, I, Zhang San, is the leader of my business. Everyone is welcome to attend this auction event." As Zhang San said that, he gave a fist-clamping ceremony around him and then said: "There are buyers and sellers among you, so I wish the buyers to buy satisfactory items here; and I wish the sellers to sell at a good price and make a big profit. Okay, the auction begins now!"
I originally thought that the fat pig would talk like in reality, but the opening ceremony started with only a few words. Therefore, the players' favorability for this boss who was not very good in the original image increased greatly, and applause continued until Mr. Hu, the chief auctioneer of the auction house, came on stage.
According to Zhang San, Mr. Hu is also a senior auctioneer in reality. He was hired by the "Tianxia Game Company" to host large-scale auctions. Their salary is calculated based on the number of auction venues. If they perform well, they can also get additional bonuses.
Mr. Hu hit the wooden hammer heavily on his hand to attract everyone's attention. Then he began to introduce the first auction item: "Feiyun Sword, made of stainless steel, attack +10, speed +2, can be said to be the best in bronze equipment. Especially the speed of +2, makes the Feiyun Sword more light and elegant, and is a rare good equipment for sensitive swordsmen. The base price is 50 gold coins, and the price is no less than 10 gold coins each time. Now you start bidding."
It seems that Mr. Hu is very familiar with the game information. But that's true. If he doesn't understand the information, how can he drive players' competitive enthusiasm? The Feiyun Sword is very good at attributes. Although the attack is a little weaker, it is indeed a good weapon for current players of 15 and 6 levels.
"No. 1023 bid 60 gold coins. Is there any price increase?" Before Mr. Hu finished speaking, another player raised the price. Several numbers were jumping on the big screen behind him.
"Now, No. 39212 bid 120 gold coins, is there any higher one? Is there any better one? Is there any better one? No. 28391 bid 140 gold coins. No. 28391 bid 140 gold coins, is there any higher one? 140 gold coins once, 140 gold coins twice, 140 gold coins - three times, transaction!
"Congratulations to No. 28391 for purchasing this Feiyun Sword."
As soon as the words were finished, a white light appeared on the "Feiyun Sword" and disappeared on the shelf, replacing another auction item. The Feiyun Sword has entered the buyer's Qiankun Ring, and the gold coins to be paid are also deducted at the same time. (If the player does not have enough coins to bid, the system will determine that the bid has failed.)
The second auction item is actually a piece of silver equipment. Taking out the good equipment so quickly is very different from the traditional auction method, so it seems very strange. However, it is this strange that makes the players enthusiastic, which is completely different from the atmosphere just now.
Mr. Hu smiled slightly when he saw the chaos in the scene. His voice expanded through Taoist techniques and clearly entered everyone's ears: "As you can see, this is the first silver equipment today - Wind Boots, defense +1 and speed +10. It is a rare good equipment for speed players. Its superiority is unknown. The base price is 500 gold coins, and the price is no less than 100 gold coins each time. Start bidding now!"
This time, Mr. Hu's explanation and guidance were almost unnecessary. The price rose, reaching 1950 gold coins in a short period of time. The current competition is mainly concentrated in No. 2911 and No. 38 in the VIP private room.
"The current highest price is 1950 gold coins of No. 2911. Is there any higher one? Is there any? Well, 1950 gold coins once, 1950 gold coins twice-" Mr. Hu stopped because 2200 gold coins are now released on the 38th.
This time, 2911 did not bid again, and it is estimated that his financial resources were not enough. No. 2911 was a thief. He looked at his equipment not very good, but he had nearly 2,000 gold coins. He was really not good at appearance. It may be the effect of camouflage, but it may also be that his thief skills are very high, so that he could steal some coins or good things from monsters or players.
A brief little ** passed and the auction continued.
Next are some top-quality bronze equipment, including my "Tiger Skin Set", "Snow Lion Set" and "Snow Leopard Set". There are 11 pieces in total, and I got a total of 9,000 gold coins, which is a good harvest. All of them are arranged today and the idea of fat pigs. The first day of auction is the best for low-level items, otherwise the price will be reduced after the purchase is about the same. So if you want to buy some good bronze equipment, it is best to participate in the auction on the fourth and fifth days.
But now I no longer need bronze equipment, because the tailor successfully sewed two pieces of silver equipment, namely leather armor and knee pads. In this way, with the original "Tiger King Battle Knife" and "Tiger King Battle Boots", it is only one helmet that can make up a set of silver equipment. However, there is no silver helmet in the auction items, so I will wear my own "bear skin hat", at least a few points higher than the previous "Tiger skin hat".
So, I was just watching the excitement at this auction. After all, such grand occasions are rare, let alone in the game.
After a short break at noon gave everyone a chance to have a meal, the auction began again.
Among the auction items in the afternoon, except for the "Fire Dragon Spear" with "Attack + 13", nothing particularly outstanding in the bronze equipment. Eating fruits boredly as everyone auctioned, finally ushered in today's highlight, the second piece of silver equipment and my "Dragon and Tiger Pill".
This silver equipment is a very special weapon, which is a sword-shaped overall, but one side is sharp blade and the other side is jagged, which is considered a Qimen weapon. However, its attributes are absolutely good, attack +20, durability 70/70, load-bearing 23, and the swordsman's excellent equipment. The attack is higher than my "Tiger King Battle Sword".
However, the swordsman who bought it probably had to think carefully about it, otherwise it would be a pity that it would not be able to fully play its role. Although it was a strange weapon, the players' competition was still very fierce, and they were finally bid for 3,200 gold coins by player No. 19283 in the box.
Finally, my "Dragon and Tiger Pill" came. At this moment, I suddenly felt unprecedented excitement. In the past, if I sold equipment in the game for a good price, I was very happy, but after all, I felt a sense of alienation and no real experience; but now, just like in reality, I watched my auction items on the spot and were bidding for by many players, which was an indescribable strange feeling.
I was immersed in this strange feeling, a little intoxicated, until a heavy blow from a wooden hammer came into my ears: "Congratulations to the player No. 53921 for winning this precious 'Dragon and Tiger Pill' with 3700 gold coins!"
I came to my senses, huh, is it over? I shook my head unconsciously and said to myself: "In this case, I can actually be confused. I admire myself and missed the good show. What a pity!"
Look at the fact that there are nearly 00 gold coins in your Qiankun ring, and you will feel happy. A "Dragon and Tiger Pill" can sell 3,700 gold coins, and 5 gold coins are more than 18,000 gold coins, which is not too far from the goal of 100,000 gold coins.
What's more, the higher the price of the "Dragon Tiger Pill" will definitely be. I guess you can earn 30,000 or 40,000 gold coins after being auctioned. In addition, the more than 15,000 gold coins obtained by selling the "Dragon Tiger Pill" to Kongkonger, I have made a lot of money these days.
The first day of the auction ended. After Zhang San's concluding remarks, the players left their seats and walked out. Everyone was discussing today's grand auction, such as what good weapons had been bought, and someone didn't have enough money to watch the good things they belonged to were taken away. This atmosphere was more lively than the situation at the previous auction.
I also cheered up and left the auction venue and returned to the inn. I sorted out my belongings and went offline to sleep.
Note 1: Regarding the resurrection point, each city has a large resurrection point. After the player dies, he will be reborn at the resurrection point. There is an institution next to the resurrection point to handle the transfer of estates.
Note 2: Regarding marriage, there is a structure in the city to arrange the marriage between male and female players. Both parties only need to pay 10 gold coins to marry players of the heart. After marriage, the two have a wedding ring, and the specific location of the other party can be known by the wedding ring. In addition: monogamy is implemented in the game.
Note 3: Regarding skill understanding, such as conventional skills, that is, skills or a certain professional skill that can be purchased in a skill bookstore, you can understand this skill by yourself, but it is not a personal proprietary skill and cannot be taught to others; however, if you understand other skills, it is a personal proprietary skill. Once someone understands it, others cannot understand it, but you can teach others.
Because of different personal environments, even if someone comprehends the skills, it is impossible to comprehend the same skills. Taking a step back, if two people really experience the same experience and understand the same understanding, the system will determine that these are two different skills.
As for "refining medicine" like Ink, the same is true. Even if others know that Ink's "Tiger Bone Pill" or "Dragon and Tiger Pill" prescriptions are carried out completely according to the steps of Ink's refining medicine, the success rate is absolutely pitifully low. Even if it succeeds, other medicines will be refined due to different external and internal conditions.
