Chapter 8 Auction Commencement (Part II)
Eventually, the katana was bought by Lady Nina at a reasonable price. Zhou Yuan looked at Scar, who was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed, and the very ordinary katana leaning next to Scar's body, and understood what was probably going on.
With this knife, Scar's strength should be enhanced to a certain extent...... After all, Scar is not the same as a powerful and terrifying projection like Mikoto Misaka, although it is from another world, but it is just an ordinary person after all. Although Scar's strength is much stronger than the so-called "ordinary people" that people actually recognize, it still has physical limits after all.
What's more, it is not her scar who can really exert the strength of ordinary people to the limit, but the person Zhou Yuan knows, and Zhou Yuan's chief Jack Morrison.
If you think about it this way, this knife is more significant to Scar.
After the auction of the katana, the next auction items were of little use, making Zhou Yuan drowsy - although they were all precious enough, the next items that appeared were either collectibles such as antique gems with no practical value, or some strange items from projections, which were of no use at all.
"Alright...... The next auction items are very special, and they should not be as special as they have been in auctions so far......"
Zhou Yuan was already listening to his body at this time. Originally, he hadn't slept all night, and he was in a state of tension, which caused Zhou Yuan to be quite unenergetic now, and the whole person was already in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake.
"The next lot to auction is...... Alone. Here's what the man said: he's going to rent out his time for a year to be a bodyguard for one of the people here. Of course...... This person is reluctant to reveal all information about himself...... Except for the name. Therefore, the auction of this auction item is completely a bet, betting on whether this person's strength is really worth the price. By the way, I would like to say a word for the last part...... The only information about this person, which is his name...... It's called Kirito. ”
"What......? Kirito? ”
Zhou Yuan's whole body was smart, and his sleepiness suddenly dissipated.
"Mikoto Misaka...... Mikoto Misaka? Find a way to inform Anna's seniors that this year's bodyguard must be bought, and it doesn't matter if the price is higher! If I don't have enough money, I still have funds here, and there are not many people who know this name, so there shouldn't be people who bid too high. So...... Please! ”
Soon, there was a slight tapping sound on the other side of the headphones. In other words, Mikoto Misaka had already heard Zhou Yuan's signal.
"The starting price, 10 million universal currency. All of you here have hired bodyguards, so you naturally know how unreasonable this price is...... So, it's a gamble on the strength of this person. So now, the auction begins! ”
Sure enough, it was as Zhou Yuan expected. Although Zhou Yuan knew Kirito's identity, it didn't mean that everyone else knew about it - as a result, the bidding for this auction had been sporadic to an incomprehensible level. In such a long time, it has only risen from 10 million to 15 million.
"Sixteen million."
It was the voice of Anna's seniors.
It seems that there is no need to use Zhou Yuan's funds...... This situation is extremely bleak, and even the money brought by Anna's predecessors is far from surplus.
I don't know what kind of expression Kirito knew that no one was planning to be......
"Twenty million."
…… Well......?
The other party didn't bid until just now...... As a result, now it suddenly called out such a high price. The possibility that the other party knows Kirito's true identity is infinitely close to 0, so what to say......
Someone is maliciously raising the ...... of Anna's seniors!
After all, this is an auction held by Black Claw, and Black Claw's image on the surface is still very open. Therefore, it is unlikely that Black Claw will raise the auction price by doing shady things on its own. However, this identity of Anna's predecessors has disappeared for a long time...... And even before it disappears, the reputation is very good, and there shouldn't be anyone maliciously bidding for Anna's seniors......
Wait a minute. I had memorized the rules of the auction house when I listened to Reyes lecture before...... While most invitations contain the personal information of the invitee, there are still some invitations that are anonymous and circulated on the black market – whether you buy them or grab them, you are eligible to participate in the auction if you get the invitation.
The voice of the previous bargain seems to be a girl......
"Give up, I've seen the end. Mikoto Misaka, telling Anna Senpai to stop bidding...... If there is no new bid, just give it up and use the special right of the predecessor, that is, the right to verify the property on the spot. Fifteen million is enough to win the auction, if I am not bad. ”
As mentioned before, although projection is divided into individual projection and group projection, it is only divided by the size of the range. Just like Mikoto Misaka's projection, Zhou Yuan later found fragments of wood and fabric in the bathroom - it seems to come from a certain school called Tokiwadai, and Zhou Yuan also saw half of the school emblem.
In other words, if Kuroko was next to Mikoto Misaka at the time, then Kuroko would also be projected. Considering the direction of the auction venue rules mentioned earlier, it is not difficult to guess who the bidder is.
If you're with Kirito...... The most likely person is, of course, Asuna Yuuki, that is, Asuna.
Although Zhou Yuan wants to call it Ben Zina. If you really guess correctly, these two people are really playing well......
In fact, Zhou Yuan is also gambling. Although so much analysis has been done, the accuracy rate is only about half.
Inside the headphones, Anna's senior had already made a request to verify the property, and then fell into an eerie silence.
How did the result ......? Zhou Yuan took advantage of the waiting time and glanced at Reinhardt.
In other words, I can't bear it anymore, but the old man is still so energetic...... Still sitting in the same position and not moving...... Wait, old man?
No way...... The old man was sitting there and already asleep, his eyes were still open, how did he practice this stunt?
Never mind...... Anyway, the old man's action time is not yet now, so let's continue to wait for the result.
And just like that, one minute passed, and two minutes passed. In the third minute, the sound finally sounded in the headphones again.
