Chapter 22: High Prices
Nangong Hong, Nangong Red again!
Seeing Xiao Hong again, Xiao Ming suddenly remembered that just now, the two of them had met at the door. Originally, Xiao Ming was like this, and he was quite embarrassed to see acquaintances, and he was relieved to be able to avoid Nangong Hong. However, why do you want to satisfy your curiosity, why do you want to come to watch your own pill auction.
Could it be that he is a pig's brain, so soon he forgot that Nangong Hong also came to the auction house?
At this moment, Xiao Ming really wanted to have the urge to slap himself to death.
"Distinguished guest, please be seated...... Do you need to drink any drinks, yogurt or vitamins?" Seeing Xiao Ming standing still, Long Jie thought that Xiao Ming was dissatisfied with something, and hurriedly said in a panic.
"Uh...... Good...... Good...... Whatever" Hearing Long Jie's voice in his ears, Xiao Ming suddenly came back to his senses. Now that it's all like this, Xiao Ming can only bite the bullet.
However, Xiao Ming didn't dare to get too close to Nangong Hong, but half of his butt sat on the chair, and he was a little disgusted with Nangong Hong's appearance.
Nangong Hong didn't pay much attention to Xiao Ming's affairs, for her, whoever sat next to her was the same. It's just that since he broke through to the sixth grade of cultivation, plus he had fought on the battlefield of the Olympiad, there will be a trace of murderous aura on his body, if ordinary people sit next to him, they will often not be able to stand that kind of breath, and when she saw Xiao Ming sitting a little distant, she naturally took it for granted.
didn't even look at Xiao Ming, just sat coldly.
"Huh......" Xiao Ming saw that Nangong Hong didn't have any reaction, and he didn't look back, so he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. However, Xiao Ming still didn't dare to make too many moves, for fear that Nangong Hong would pay attention to him, and after sitting in his position, he didn't move, and he didn't dare to look around casually and look at the auction hall.
After Long Jie saw Xiao Ming showing a demeanor that no one should enter, he also stepped aside with interest, not daring to entertain Xiao Ming again.
"Old Chen, you say, I sit next to Nangong Hong, will she find out?" Xiao Ming was a little apprehensive, and after sitting down for a while, he couldn't help but rub his schoolbag. After all, Nangong Hong is a sixth-grade powerhouse, Xiao Ming is the first time to be so close to such a sixth-grade powerhouse, plus Nangong Hong beat himself yesterday, Xiao Ming is still a little afraid of Nangong Hong.
"Don't worry, you won't find anything, don't worry, your spell can't be seen through unless you're a high school student or a college student, but for the sake of safety, you'd better talk less and make moves." Chen Lao got out of the schoolbag and floated beside Nangong Hong, and Nangong Hong couldn't find it.
The current Xiao Ming and Chen Lao also communicate through a weak spirit, and they will not make any sound.
"Well, okay, so I'm relieved. After listening to Chen Lao's assurance, Xiao Ming's heart relaxed slightly, but Xiao Ming sat even more upright.
However, at this time, the auction has almost begun, and a refined middle-aged man has come out of the background.
"Welcome to all the guests from afar, I am today's auctioneer, the money is expensive, today, it is the day of my Longhua auction house once a month, we have some fresh items this time, I hope everyone can buy the items they want, in addition, today's auction, there will be a special thing about to be auctioned, I believe it will give you a surprise." Now, without further ado, our auction begins!"
Qian Gui's opening is good, concise, and it doesn't make people feel brief, and he also slightly mentioned a special auction item, which is revealed in advance, which will arouse people's simple desires.
"Something special? Old Zhou, guess what?"
"This, I can't say for sure, but it's nothing more than some stationery, pills and the like, we are a small town in Longhua County, what good things can we have?"
“......”
Mysterious things really arouse people's curiosity, at least before the auction has even begun. Listening to the discussion behind him, Xiao Ming's face showed a smile, this special item must be his own White Rabbit toffee. Looking at some people's hard guesses, Xiao Ming had a kind of secret joy.
took a sneaky look at Nangong Hong again, and found that there seemed to be a trace of curiosity in Nangong Hong's eyes. In such a situation, Xiao Ming couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"The first auction item, the Feiyang China Eraser. As Xiao Ming was thinking wildly, someone had already slowly brought up a table, and Qian Gui also announced the auction items in due course.
"Feiyang China brand eraser? What is this?" Seeing that the first auction item was an eraser, Xiao Ming frowned slightly. The eraser was spread out with a red cloth on the table of the auction table, but the appearance of the eraser was not very bright and beautiful, but it was a little ugly.
Xiao Ming knows that the eraser, as a defensive magic weapon, especially below the third grade, is a magic weapon that makes every elementary school student salivate. If you have an eraser, you can easily dissolve the enemy's spells, and some even have powerful erasers that can help your master survive the tribulation when you are through a small catastrophe. However, this eraser doesn't look like a special eraser at all.
"Flying eraser?" Not only Xiao Ming was a little puzzled, but when this item was put out, the people in the hall were also a little puzzled.
"Feiyang, Feiyang, is it that Feiyang!" However, some other people were muttering, and they couldn't help but shout loudly. aroused Xiao Ming's curiosity, and he couldn't help but follow everyone to look at the person who had just shouted.
"Huh...... It seems that some guests already know the origin of this eraser. Okay, I won't sell it anymore, this eraser is the eraser used by our genius Feiyang in Longhua County a hundred years ago when he spent the small catastrophe! It successfully helped Feiyang survive the small catastrophe, but Feiyang was plotted by the enemy after surviving the catastrophe, and finally he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Last month, our auction house bought it from a commoner, and thus knew the place where the bones were buried, and got this eraser. Qian Gui waved his hand, suppressed the discussion in the auction hall, and then explained with a smile the origin of this eraser.
"There's also the name of Feiyang's predecessor on it, so this eraser is not a fake. Qian Gui also picked up the eraser and showed everyone a trace at the bottom of the eraser.
An eraser that survived the Little Tribulation, and it was also used by Feiyang. When Qian Gui had just put down the eraser and finished the introduction, the guests in the auction hall couldn't help but be excited.
This is an eraser that can help you survive the Little Tribulation, and if you get it, those sixth-grade powerhouses will have an extra point of success when they survive the Little Tribulation. There is no reason why people are not tempted, and after such an eraser is obtained, the strength can also increase by a few points.
Therefore, the people who came to the auction suddenly became excited, and they were ready to do a big job. They didn't expect that this auction would take out such a heavyweight magic weapon at the time of the first item.
Xiao Ming saw that even Nangong Hong, who was sitting beside him, had a little more expectation in his eyes.
Xiao Ming also really wants this eraser, but now he doesn't have a penny, and his strength is not yet in the sixth grade, even if he has this eraser, it is useless. If you use it to fight with people in the first and second grades, Xiao Ming will also feel a little cheap.
But if there is...... Xiao Ming also fell into imagination.
"Below, the auction begins, Feiyang Eraser, the reserve price is twenty yuan, and the price increase is not less than five cents each time!" Seeing that the atmosphere of the scene had been successfully mobilized by himself, Qian Gui also raised the hammer in time and announced the start of the auction.
"Twenty-one!"
"Twenty-two!"
“......”
"Thirty pieces!"
"Twenty yuan!?" Xiao Ming, who was thinking wildly, was suddenly taken aback by such a high reserve price, and suddenly woke up, thinking that it was just an eraser, how could it be so expensive, and a fool would spend so much money to buy it. You must know that one dollar in Longhua Continent is enough for an ordinary family to live for a month, and every penny is useful. Xiao Ming has saved only a few yuan of private money for more than ten years, so he knows how difficult it is to make money in Longhua Continent.
But what Xiao Ming didn't expect was that such a broken eraser was set at such a high price, and someone actually bought it, and when they bought it, they increased the price so crazy.
Xiao Ming couldn't help but think of what Elder Chen said, in cultivation, financial resources are also very important. Cultivating immortals is a money-burning thing.
"Forty!"
When Xiao Ming was stunned, the price of the eraser had risen rapidly, to a surprising price. Xiao Ming was woken up by this high price. Looking back, it turned out to be an old man sitting next to him, Xiao Ming happened to know, it was the big family in Longhua County, the head of the Chen family, Chen Haowen.
"Forty dollars and five cents!"
The price was surprising, and then the auction room was silent for less than a minute, and another voice rang out. Xiao Ming turned around, this time it was another big family in Longhua County, the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Xiangao. It's just that this time Zhou Xian's high price seems to be not in line with his identity.
The current Zhou Xiangao's face is a little dark, like that, because many people have seen it, he seems to be a little embarrassed. After all, every time he increased the price by one piece, and now he has only increased the price by five cents, which is a bit chilling.
"Forty-three yuan!" However, this price stayed for less than five seconds, and Chen Haowen directly added another five. Then, after Chen Haowen called the price, he glanced at Zhou Xiangao a little provocatively.
"You ......" Seeing Chen Haowen's provocative eyes, Zhou Xian jumped angrily. Although the two of them are both big families in Longhua County, relatively speaking, they are not very harmonious, and the Chen family is a little bigger, and the Zhou family is trying to catch up with the Chen family. Now, if the Chen family is allowed to buy this eraser, then they will not be able to catch up with the Chen family.
However, today Zhou Xiangao has to auction some other things, bringing a little less money, if they spend so much money to buy an eraser, then they will have no money to buy others, plus, in this short period of time, the Zhou family's business seems to be a little down, and the capital turnover is a bit of a problem.
Therefore, seeing Chen Haowen's provocation, although Zhou Xiangao was furious, he was still sensible and did not want to continue to argue with Chen Haowen.
"Hmph!" Zhou Xiangao snorted coldly, glared at Chen Haowen fiercely, and then turned his head to the side tremblingly, which can be regarded as giving up the auction.
"Forty-three pieces at a time!"
At this moment, Qian Gui saw this situation and knew that this eraser could only be sold for so much at most, so Qian Gui began to hammer the hammer.
"Forty-three pieces twice!"
Qian Gui still didn't give up and looked down again.
"Forty-three yuan three times! Congratulations to Master Chen for taking a flying eraser!" In the end, the final word was reached, and Chen Haowen bought an eraser for a sixth-grade powerhouse a hundred years ago who survived the small catastrophe for forty-three yuan.
