Chapter 32: The Auction I
To my surprise, they believed a story I made up casually, and the person in charge asked me where I met the mysterious old man and if I knew where the mysterious old man lived. So I told them that the mysterious old man said that he lived in a place called Earth.
When the two of them heard me say this, they looked confused, and I said that I didn't know where the earth was, so they didn't pester me to ask, and handed over the pill to the person in charge, and the person in charge told us that the auction house had a rule that would charge a 5% handling fee, and then gave me a wooden card, and came over with the sign to collect the money after the auction.
Holding the sign and Yue'er casually found a place to sit down and wait for the auction to start, just sat down not long before people came in one after another, and it didn't take long for the seat to be full, the host saw that the time was almost up, and walked out of the backstage, and said: "Welcome friends to participate in today's auction on time, tell you a good news, just received a notice from the person in charge, someone has just asked the auction house to auction some special items, and you will scream when you see them in a while." ”
Someone below coaxed: "What kind of special item, take it out for us to see first." ”
The host said: "This can't be rushed, let's auction some regular items first." ”
Then the first item in the auction was a sword, and the starting price was 3,000 Xuanjing coins, most people were not interested, and only increased the price twice, and finally it was bought for 3,500 Xuanjing coins.
And then again, just like yesterday, the auction is about some items that are not very attractive, not very attractive.
Yue'er said: "Every day is an auction of these ordinary items, I don't know what these people are doing with wasting time at the auction every day, it is better to go shopping, or go out to play." ”
I smiled and said, "Most of the people who come here are rich children, anyway, they are bored when they are idle, they come here to have some fun, and secondly, they have a gambling mentality, hoping that they can buy good things here." ”
Yue'er and I were chatting boringly on the side, and after about an hour, I suddenly heard the host say: "Everyone is in a hurry, the treasure to be auctioned below promises not to disappoint you." ”
After the host finished speaking, a man walked out of the backstage, his hands covered by a black cloth, as if he was holding something, but he couldn't see what was inside.
After he came on stage, the host slowly lifted the black cloth in the eyes of the crowd, and at first saw that it was a wooden plate held in the hands of that person, and after all the black cloth was lifted, it finally revealed the true face of Lushan, which turned out to be a white round ball-like thing lying in the center of the wooden plate.
After seeing the true face, the people below shouted in disgust: "Waste Lao Tzu's expression for half a day, you will bring out a ball to tease Lao Tzu." ”
"I'm going, I'm in the wrong place, something here has been changed to a vegetable market. ”
"Host: Is the starting price of this ball a Xuanjing coin?"
The people below were all making a fuss, and the scene was almost uncontrollable, the host knocked on the table and said, "Be quiet, be quiet, don't make noise first, listen to me." ”
Waiting for the people below to calm down, the host continued: "The starting price of this auction item is 200,000 Xuanjing coins, as for what this auction item is, I will keep it secret here, and I will decrypt it for you when someone buys it, I can only tell you one sentence, it is definitely worth the money, don't miss it when you pass by." ”
After the host finished speaking, the following fryer was fried again, and all kinds of discussions came: "What the hell, a broken pill auctioned 200,000 Xuanjing coins, is this planning to rob?"
"That is, how can there be such an expensive meatball, is this meatball made of dragon meat?"
"Haha, if they can get meatballs made of dragon meat, Lao Tzu will buy them for a million Xuanjing coins to try them. ”
There were also some voices of support: "The auction house has never auctioned fake items, and the starting price of this ball is so expensive, there must be something magical about it." ”
A person next to him chimed in: "Yes, the sword I bought here last time was very useful, and there must be something special about this ball." ”
Seeing that the people below were almost talking, the host cleared his throat and said, "You have been discussing for so long, I don't know if anyone is willing to take pictures of this treasure?"
The following is a rich boy who is gorgeously dressed and looks like a gentleman, and shouted: "Lao Tzu has money, Lao Tzu will pay 200,000 Xuanjing coins to buy this ball, I want to see what is special about this broken pill you auctioned, if it is useless, Lao Tzu will send someone to burn your auction house." ”
When the host heard that this gentleman offered 200,000 yuan, he continued to ask: "This son bid 200,000 yuan, I don't know if anyone is willing to continue to increase the price?"
After the host asked, there was silence below, no one was willing to bid for this broken pill, the host knocked on the table and shouted: "Two hundred thousand once!"
After a while, seeing that no one below was still willing to increase the price, he knocked on the table again and shouted: "Two hundred thousand twice! Are you sure you won't increase the price again, don't regret jumping into the river when you hear the role of this treasure for a while." ”
There was still silence below, and no one was willing to increase the price, waiting for this rich kid to reveal the secret after taking a photo.
The host knocked on the table for the third time and shouted, "Two hundred thousand three times, congratulations to this son for successfully taking this spiritual power pill." ”
The host's words were like a * thrown into the water, and the people below were not calm for a moment: "What the hell, this broken pill is a spiritual pill, no kidding." ”
The person next to him continued: "That's right, I just auctioned a high-grade spiritual power pill here yesterday, but I've seen it with my own eyes, it's not like this at all." ”
Another person said: "Yes, I was there yesterday, and I also saw that high-level spiritual power pill, which is completely different from this. ”
"Be quiet, be quiet. The host saw that the discussion below was so loud that the scene was about to get out of control, and hurriedly shouted.
Then he continued: "I'll not hide it from you, when I first saw this spiritual power pill, I thought it was an ordinary pill, and I personally checked with the appraisal master to confirm that this is really a spiritual power pill." ”
The rich boy heard the host say that this was a spiritual power pill, and went directly to the stage to trade on the spot, and the host saw the rich boy walking up directly and said: "According to the rules of the auction house, you can't trade until the auction is over, but for the sake of the boy who believes in our auction house so much, this time I made an exception and traded directly on the spot." ”
The rich boy took out a bunch of Xuanjing coins from his arms and handed them to the host, then directly snatched the spiritual power pill from the host's hand and said: "I'm going to try to see if this pill is a real spiritual power pill now, if it's fake, I won't be able to beat you up." ”
The host hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and the rich boy said a little angrily: "What, are you scared? ”
The host smiled confidently and said: "That's not it, I believe that the appraisal master of our auction house, the treasure that has been identified by his hand has never been missed, I just want to remind the son that this spiritual power pill is very precious, isn't it a pity to take it like this." ”
The rich boy pushed away the host's hand and said: "Although the spiritual power pill on the Dragon Continent is scarce, my family still has a few in the collection, and this spiritual power pill is only 200,000 Xuanjing coins, and Lao Tzu can eat it." ”
After speaking, he directly put the spiritual power pill into his mouth, closed his eyes and quietly felt the spiritual power in his body, and the people below saw him eat it directly, and someone immediately asked: "How do you feel, is this broken pill a spiritual power pill?"
The others also asked anxiously, "Is it the end, tell us quickly." ”
After a while, the rich boy opened his eyes and said a little excitedly: "This pill is really a spiritual power pill, and my cultivation has been improved from the early stage of the pill to the middle stage of the pill." ”
The people below also saw his cultivation improvement, and they all regretted it, and one person said: "Hell, I knew that it was a spiritual power pill, and it was sold so cheaply, so Lao Tzu bought it." ”
The person next to him said: "Yes, it's all because the host didn't make it clear in advance, causing me to pass by the Spirit Power Pill." ”
"yes, this host is so annoying that I can't help but want to go up and beat him. ”
Seeing that the people below were so regretful and angry, the host smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone, the next baby is guaranteed to be more liked." ”
Then the person who carried the Spirit Power Pill just now walked up again, this time he was still holding a wooden plate in his hand, this time the plate was not covered with a black cloth, and the people below could clearly see that there were two white balls in the center of the wooden plate that were the same as just now, and the people below couldn't sit still, standing up and stretching their necks to look at the balls that were placed on the table.
The host saw the reaction of the people in the audience and said, "Aren't you a little impatient, our auction will start soon, and the starting price of these two spiritual power pills is 400,000 Xuanjing coins." ”
The people in the audience were still annoyed that they had missed a spiritual power pill just now, and now they suddenly brought out two spiritual power pills, so people are not willing to miss these two spiritual power pills anymore, and they have increased the price, which is like you have lost a beloved thing, and have been thinking about how to make up for it, how to get your beloved thing again, and suddenly a person sends your beloved thing to you twice, and you will definitely get it at all costs.
The price is still increasing one by one, 550,000 Xuanjing coins, 600,000 Xuanjing coins, and 650,000 Xuanjing coins...... , The scene was out of control again, the price was rising, everyone wanted to get these two spiritual power pills, and finally these two spiritual power pills were sold at a price of 840,000.
I didn't expect it to be sold at such a good price, I thought it would be good if ten spiritual power pills could sell for more than one million, but I didn't expect that now two will sell for more than 800,000.
