1040. The thickest pile of armor gets the hardest beating—why should I be beaten?
The widening gap between rich and poor has always been a major sign of the turbulence of the world structure in later generations. Unexpectedly, it was already like this when human civilization was just starting.
With Xing Ke's miscellaneous knowledge of magic and enough money, it is very easy to change his image and sneak into the auction site - he doesn't even need to change his body shape or face shape, he just needs to change Nezha's conspicuous red to blue, and Xing Ke himself is dazzling.
The white turns to gray, which basically destroys the external personality of the two people, and they can blend into other copies and become bosses again.
The auction site was very "harmonious and friendly". Everyone was in a conical funnel-shaped space. The auction table was set at the lowest end of the funnel. The higher the status of the person, the higher the position - this is quite similar to the situation.
The stage-style auction that Xingke attended the last time he returned to London was different.
After all, everyone in this world has a certain level of cultivation, and the distance does not affect the quality of the goods they appreciate. On the contrary, being condescending is in line with the cultural atmosphere of this world.
Although it is indeed inconvenient to peek under the skirt of the beautiful host on the stage, but because everyone present is a handsome fairy who does not know the fireworks of the world, at least because of their spiritual practice, almost everyone is handsome and beautiful.
Therefore, there are almost no non-professional fashion places in the world that regard the so-called holy light under the skirt as a selling point. After all, soft sex has no room to survive in the face of hard power.
Things that are not rare are naturally not rare to anyone, so in this space where the average appearance and wealth are surprisingly high, no one will look at the beautiful host, but all eyes are focused on the circular venue
The central location of the place, because there are rare things there that even those with great wealth rarely see——
"Immortal treasure! It's actually an immortal treasure?"
"Huhu, I didn't expect that an immortal treasure that had not been circulated on the market for hundreds of years would appear so suddenly..."
"Is the great master on Kunlun Mountain short of spiritual stones?"
"No, no, Brother You, this is not the point. The point is, have you brought enough spiritual stones?"
"Brother Fei, you are joking. I originally came here for the dragon girl today, so I naturally brought enough spiritual stones. But this..."
"Yes, Dragon Girl and Immortal Treasure, it depends on which one you want..."
………
For a time, the wealthy people who were watching the first auction item at the auction began to talk privately. In this era where public practice is a daily routine, all kinds of magic weapons and Taoist artifacts are the basis for their own livelihood and their own transcendent status.
One of the basic components of strength, second only to the importance of talent, skills and cultivation.
It can be said that once you have strength and a good magic weapon, you can speak forcefully, and then...what do you want?
But unfortunately, the so-called "immortal treasure" is abbreviated as "immortal's magic weapon" and "immortal's refined magic weapon". It does not refer to the level of the magic weapon. Moreover, because of the scarcity of the number of immortals and those who become immortals, without exception, they are all transcendent.
In addition, because it really doesn’t follow the fireworks of the world, the fairy treasure really becomes something that even money and power cannot exchange for.
There are examples of people who are not true immortals or golden immortals holding immortal treasures, but every example cannot be copied.
Therefore, an immortal treasure is served as an appetizer at an auction for the rich and powerful in the world. This is really too delicious and unbiased. If this immortal treasure is also an orthodox weapon, it will be even more irresistible.
It's tempting.
But if this weapon is also the most versatile one-handed long sword... then it will be really fragrant.
"Dear guests, please pay attention, please allow me to introduce - Taiyi Geng Golden Sword, a monometallic killing weapon, comes from the hands of Taiyi Zhenren in Jinguang Cave in Kunlun Mountain. The raw materials are selected from Taiyi Zhenren himself from outside.
Here comes a piece of Geng gold bred by the power of stars.
Presumably, no amount of introduction is so necessary, right? The starting price is one hundred thousand spiritual stones, let’s start——”
As soon as the host finished speaking, the wealthy people who were stunned by the sudden arrival of the True Fragrance Immortal Treasure began to make bids. One after another, beams of light converged on the bronze mirror in the center of the venue. The numbers displayed on the mirror began to soar crazily. For a moment,
In a short while, the price rose to a sky-high price that was more than a hundred times the starting price.
…
"Nezha, you see, those beams of light are not just quotations, those beams of light are made up of thousands of spiritual stones. That bronze mirror magic weapon will collect all the cash and equivalents present, and then
The one with the highest bid on the spot will be displayed to absolutely prevent price gouging from happening.
In this regard, I would like to call this bronze mirror - [cash pool]!"
"Um...it's obviously a mirror, why do you call it [Pool]?"
"..."
Regarding Xingke's unclear metaphor, Nezha raised his own questions. He was struggling with how to explain this and Xingke decisively chose to change the topic and get over it.
"Ahem, what I mean is that the money gathered in that bronze mirror at this moment is much more than the money in the bank and the treasury, and this money is just the cash that these people here bring when they go shopping.
It’s a drop in the bucket of their family’s savings—now do you understand why I say money is in the hands of the rich?”
"Yeah, I understand." Nezha nodded in agreement and said clearly: "So what Ge Guo wants to say is that if I want to make money, I can just go to their house and get it, right?"
"Uh... Nezha, you are very clever in using this." Xingke helplessly grabbed the two dumplings on Nezha's head, squeezed them, and corrected:
"But unfortunately, it is not advisable to take money directly from them. After all, the value of the spiritual stone itself is actually limited. They can not use the spiritual stone as money, but exchange it for gold, paper or something."
"Can gold and paper be used as money? Why?" Nezha was now full of questions.
Although she often couldn't understand what Xingke said, she understood the meaning instinctively and had a strong understanding, but this time it was really difficult to understand.
After all, gold and paper are useless waste in her eyes, so what is the use of them?
"Regardless of whether there is any actual use, as long as you can control most of it in your own hands, ensure easy circulation and easy control, it can basically be used as money - as long as the majority of people recognize it," Xingke tried his best.
Explained succinctly:
"So, you have to be wise and appropriate in how you get money, otherwise when someone realizes that some people have too much - the money will be worthless."
But it is precisely because of this that some people do such damned immoral things as "linking their own assets to the necessities of people's lives".
"Then what is [Tao]? How can I make them obediently give me the money if I don't fight with them? I definitely don't want to do it," Nezha said distressedly.
Although she doesn't know much, everyone doesn't get close to others for no reason, and she still understands the principle of giving money to others.
so……
"As expected, it would be easier to forcefully get it."
"Oh, little fool, although the easiest and quickest way is to destroy the body of the rich and take the ownerless money - but as civilized people, how can we do such a crude thing in the first place?"
Although the truth is that it is enough to do it secretly a few times occasionally, and doing it too much is not a long-term solution, but in order to prevent bad teaching to children, Xingke controlled his mouth.
"Trade, trade. Use things you don't need in exchange for other people's extra things. This is the way for civilized people."
