"How? What do you think? Isn't it pretty? ”

"If you don't jump around like that, I might consider complimenting the characters you've made......"

In the middle of Oaks Street, in the Oxen Auction House, two players standing together are looking left and right at the decoration and goods in the store, while waiting for the return of a certain member - I don't know if I met any acquaintance or encountered something important, the angry madman who had been walking in front with the whisper disappeared after entering this store, and the blue-haired woman who was fluttering back with her hands behind her back also began to play with her arms vigorously in front of Duan Qing at this time:" Don't be so disobedient little boy, this is a pair of arm armor worth tens of thousands of gold coins, look at this pattern, and this shape...... Is it good-looking? Isn't it amazing? ”

"Okay, okay, got it, Miss." Duan Qing, who had already recovered his usual appearance, responded weakly: "If you think it's fun, you can continue to accompany him, if the other party is in a good mood, maybe you can solve your weapon problem by the way......"

"N-yes!" The blue-haired woman turned her hands behind her back again, and at the same time cocked her nose: "You must solve the problem of weapons, this is what we said!" And since that guy has something to do, let him go about his own business......"

"You can go with him, I won't mind."

"Really? Am I really gone, big boy? ”

“…… I haven't seen you for many years, but your personality seems to have become much more open, and you can easily accept this kind of gift-giving......"

"After all, we are acquaintances, so there's nothing wrong with accepting it...... Or would you rather fill your own pride with a lot of gold than accept this stupid wrongdoer? ”

Looking at the passing customers who were coming back and forth, hurrying around, Liu Qingniu, the only one who was still standing aside, twisted his body a little embarrassedly, and finally did not resist the idea of escaping the war between the two, and took two steps in the direction of the door: "That, that, why hasn't Miss Xue come over yet...... Ah, you're finally here! ”

“…… What's wrong? The black cloaked Snow Spirit Phantom Ice and the Secret Whisper Ning Lan immediately appeared at the door of the auction house, and easily spotted Liu Qingniu's waving arm: "Didn't I let you go in first?" ”

"Well...... By the way, because I was afraid that you would lose your way, Brother Aoyama decided to wait for you here. Liu Qingniu grabbed his hair slightly embarrassed: "You guys...... Why didn't you just come in? ”

"Miss Xue seems to think that the stalls outside have more opportunities, so she also wants to try her luck."

As if sensing the silence of the woman beside her, Ning Lan answered the other party's question with a smile: "Since Miss Liuyu can buy the best epic equipment at the stall, then Miss Xue will definitely be able to touch it, so ......"

Looking at the empty hands of the two people, Liu Qingniu didn't ask any more questions, and the woman whose eyes were covered by the hood also raised her head, and her eyes were refocused on the figures of the two people in front of her: "...... What are you doing? ”

"Probably...... I'm talking about today's weather. ”

The short-haired young man said helplessly and perfunctorily, and then pulled the four people together again in the flow of the surrounding crowd: "Okay, okay, since everyone is here, let's start!" First of all, I'm going to tell you how this place works, this place ......"

As the name suggests, Oxen Auction House is a real auction house, but the goods on the outermost shelves are double-bid in parallel with the bidding price and the fixed price. The huge interior hall is completely different from the appearance, filled with all kinds of goods stored on the counters and shelves, and there is a small number plate under each product, as well as a round magic lamp with various lights, the number plate exists to distinguish each product, so that customers can easily sort and find, and the existence of the magic lamp has only one purpose, that is, to indicate whether the product is in a state of sale.

A green glow means that the item is still free, while a red glow ...... It means that this product has been removed from the shelves.

"There can be many reasons for taking it off the shelves, but the most common way is that it hasn't been sold by the time it comes, or it has already been sold."

Pointing to a few goods near the corridor that had turned into red signs, Liu Qingniu's voice was also a little excited: "As long as a player or NPC offers a fixed price, even if this product is auctioned immediately, other guys who are still hesitating or bidding ...... There's no chance at all! Of course, if the auction price exceeds the fixed price figure, then the fixed price will disappear from the system, and if others still want to buy the equipment, they will have to pay a higher price and wait for the final result......"

"System?" Duan Qing suddenly interjected and asked, "Are you referring to the system of the free world?" ”

"The free world doesn't care about what is here."

The whisperer on the side brushed his long hair, and then pointed to a huge magic crystal in the center of the hall: "That's it, that thing is said to be the general information desk for everything sold in this store, if you fancy something, remember its number, and then run to that place, just check it and place a bid......"

"So much trouble? Aren't you afraid of being preempted by others? ”

"Oxen didn't have this system back in the day."

Looking at the decorations around the hall full of magic, Liu Qingniu's voice also carried some emotion: "I heard that the earliest time here was to use the way of secret bidding to bid, when the players entered the gate, everyone could also receive a stack of paper tickets, but later with magic as a high technology, these things were gradually eliminated, and the small wooden boxes in front of those goods were also replaced with magic lanterns......"

"High-end progress." So Duan Qing also commented: "Whose idea is this?" ”

"I heard that it was also a player who made a suggestion to the owner here." Liu Qingniu replied: "He told the owner of Oxen about the method that is often used in other games, and the owner thought it made sense, so he copied it......

"Isn't that what Cabinburg does?"

Looking at the figures of the players who were constantly running from the surrounding goods to the center of the hall, Duan Qing summed up with a little pain: "So information changes life...... That's true. ”

"It's not so much that the information is useful, but that the owners here are very open." Whispering replied rather lazily, "Whether it's Tania or Liberty City, they seem to like listening to the suggestions of the players...... Hey? ”

"What are those people doing?" Her eyes wandered over the magic crystal in the center of the hall for a moment, and then suddenly pointed to a few of the figures crouching and motionless: "What are they doing, bodyguards?" ”

"Oaks Street doesn't need bodyguards, because no one dares to break the rules here, and those who want to make trouble and steal and rob without paying will have long since died."

Saying this murderous sentence lightly, Liu Qingniu's eyes immediately retracted from those people: "As for those people...... Well, they're the backs. ”

"Down?"

"You've probably heard of this profession, it's very popular here."

Bringing the others to the front of several of the shelves, Liu Qingniu pointed to the equipment on them and said, "The reason is very simple...... There are a lot of things in this that players put on the table. ”

"Ah......h ”

"That's right." Liu Qingniu nodded: "Either sweep the goods and raise the price, or buy the best equipment at a low price and sell it to others at a high price...... As long as you stay in this auction house regularly, there will always be opportunities to make money. These guys are such people, they not only like the feeling of making money, but they also have a mind to do business, since the advent of the convenient thing of systematic auctions...... These people prefer to stay here, waiting for big business or Xiaobai to come to the door. ”

"This kind of speculative business ......" Duan Qing pondered for a while: "Isn't there anyone to manage it?" ”

"As long as it is within the scope of the transaction, it is in accordance with the rules." Liu Qingniu spread his hands: "As for management...... In fact, there are people in those big guilds who come here to make money. ”

"What?" The woman in the black cloak opened her eyes: "They are actually doing this kind of thing?" ”

"Voices who don't like to do money, they also have more capital." He replied indifferently, "Maybe there are also people who cooperate with the second in the world or the Devil's Paradise...... By the way, do you have any business here in Dongcheng? ”

"Our boss didn't like this kind of business, so it didn't work." Liu Qingniu scratched his cheek and replied, "But ...... Usually, if we find a good quality goods, we sometimes choose to sell here, maybe there are more people auctioning and we can sell it at a good price...... That's why I recommend you to come here, it's a place where you can get the best goods in the city, as long as you have the money......"

"There's nothing good you can't buy."

There seemed to be a commotion in the huge auction house, the sound of two players in a corner of the hall fighting over the auction dispute, but it didn't take long for the commotion to fade away in their respective convergences. Duan Qing, who looked at the frightened expressions of those players, shook his head a little knowingly, as if sensing the existence of some potential power from their reactions, and then slowly turned his head and focused on a certain piece of equipment on sale on the shelf behind him.

【Valkyrie Greaves (Epic)】

[Strength +3, Agility +2]

Valkyrie's Blessing (Set): 1/5

[One of the armor parts designed for female warriors is a luxury item passed down among the nobles of the Ancient Magic Empire, and the streamlined shape and petal-shaped design can not only fit the body and mobility of women, but also demonstrate the superb design concept and craftsmanship of the Ancient Magic Empire. 】

["Valkyrie" is the designer's name and title for this complete set of equipment, because the person who collects this set of armor seems to be able to discover the true power contained in it, but its gorgeous appearance and feminine curves also completely interpret the unique power and beauty of female warriors invisibly. 】

"It's beautiful."

Also staring at the pair of combat boots surrounded by three layers of petal-shaped nail leaves, Xue Ling's voice sounded at the right time, but before she could continue to finish her exclamation, she was deliberately interrupted by a provocative voice on the other side: "Don't think about it, your coach doesn't have the money to buy this kind of thing......"

"Hey, we all said don't joke about this kind of thing, besides, the good things we got in the past are not much worse than the one in front of us."

"You still have the face to say? It seems that all the rewards you got in Tania before were given away by you, right? The only pair of boots that can be seen, and in the end, you gave it to Mengzhu......"

"Those boots are clearly for thieves, okay? And the shape is so feminine, although this pair looks very feminine, I must have bought it useless...... What, what do you want me to do? Do you two eldest ladies really expect me, a poor man, to buy it for you? ”

“……”

“……”

"Okay, okay, they're all here to go shopping anyway, so let's take a look? Maybe this thing is still something that the big man doesn't want and puts it on at a low price......"

Toot –

A slight magic indicator suddenly sounded behind Duan Qing, who was just about to turn around, interrupting his words again, and several people looked back in the direction of the pair of combat boots, only to see that the magic lamp that was originally shining in front of them had changed from green back to red. Duan Qing, who had stopped, turned his head slightly embarrassedly, glanced at Ning Lan, who was covering his mouth and snickering, and then turned around in unison and looked in the direction where a certain footstep came from: "It won't be that guy again...... Belch. ”

"Yo, hello."

The man with the word "Mephisto" on his head walked up to Duan Qing and them with a few players who looked like little brothers, first waved his hand at the equipment that had just been photographed behind them, and then smiled at the others: "We ......"

"Did you see it somewhere last night?"

"Vice-President of Devil's Paradise......"

The whisperer on the side replied with a chuckle, "You probably saw that a few of us wanted to buy this thing, so you started in advance, right?" ”

"We're not so careful, we're here...... But there is something important to do. ”

With a "I just don't admit it" expression on his face, Mephisto pointed to the depths of the hall and replied, "It's March 1st, and I don't have any money or leisure to waste your time......"

"Oh?" Yu Liuyu looked into the depths of the auction house quite cooperatively: "Is there any activity today?" ”

"There was indeed an event today...... The ads have been posted for days. ”

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Liu Qingniu on the side quietly explained to the others: "...... today"

"It was the day of the first public auction here."
