Chapter 272: Charity Gala
Su Cheng: "Why are you doing this?" Didn't I have time to tell everyone that this easter egg will also be done with the bar advertisement? Besides, five hundred gold coins, brother just didn't have time to allocate it to Rose! Didn't have time! Got it? It's not that you don't give! ”
Whether Qin Xiaoman was hurt or not, no one knows, anyway, he was blushing at the end of the day......
The next day, Bai Yiyi was angry on the channel: "Xiaoman has a cold...... Tell me, who of you stimulated her yesterday? ”
"I'm fine!" Although the inauguration ceremony was in the game, Su Cheng had been preparing for a day, and Qin Xiaoman could only insist: "The time is set, I can persevere!" Hang up and sleep! Sanqi will come to the room and notify me when the time comes! ”
Shengshengman in the game also looks sick, and Anna Mama brushes her with a few healing spells that don't work: "The adventurer's physique is somewhat different from that of the aborigines!" She nagged no different from the neighbor's aunt: "You can rest a lot, just show up at the ceremony!" ”
Shengshengman thanked in a low voice: "Thank you, Mama." I'll be fine! I can stick to it today! ”
Anna couldn't help but reproach Su Cheng again: "Lord, anyone who changes the environment of living and activities can get sick. You shouldn't have a girl like this for a ceremony! ”
Su Cheng also felt distressed, and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "It's my fault." Mama rest assured, I will end the ceremony as soon as possible and send her back to rest! ”
Unlike the opening of the Seven Swords, in addition to the dozen or so dignitaries who came to attend the ceremony and auction, the regular customers of the Baima Bar would also celebrate the renaming of the Baima Bar before the inauguration of Pastor Shengshengman, and at least a few complimentary drinks.
King Kong Cat stood under the big sign of the Copper Orange Bar, his smiling face frozen. His responsibility is to greet every guest who enters the bar in order to distinguish them from the guests. Although the VIPs all have gifts for the bar, which is very different, but he also has to smile at ordinary customers, right? He privately complained to Rush Blood at first sight: "This is more tiring than being a best man once!" ”
At first sight, he was bloody: "I don't know! I've never been a best man. Who have you worked for? ”
"I've been a pretender! His uncle's set up thousands of tables, and I accompanied him for three days! I'm about to vomit blood! ”
"I'm going, pretending to be a prisoner at home with such a big pomp? Isn't that a rich or expensive family? ”
King Kong Cat realized that he had missed his mouth and hurriedly filled in the gap: "Don't say it!" This thing will be in a hurry! ”
"I know! Do you know a barbecue? ”
King Kong slapped himself: "I know! Tomorrow, right? ”
Most of the gifts given to the bar are works of art, whether they are cheap or not, and there is always a good way to enhance the taste of the bar. Ornaments of different sizes, inlaid 'master' paintings, and so on. Only the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Fox, sent a statue that was different, the statue was the height of a person, covered under a purple draperium, I don't know what shape it was. This fat man, who looks exactly the same as Little Fox, also gave an extra green magnetic carved gold toad, which was placed directly on the cash register of the bar. This is in line with the habits of Oriental people. Fawkes said to the two henchmen, "You can do it yourself." Tonight's expenses are all credited to me! Drink more! ”
The president of the Chamber of Commerce, of course, Su Cheng wanted to receive him personally, and when he saw that he was so polite to the two followers, he smiled at the moment: "The president really understands the truth of harmony and wealth, and treats people like a spring breeze!" He said to the two followers: "You two are casual! It's a free night at this bar, and you can't keep the account on the chairman's head! ”
The president looked at one of the attendants and smiled awkwardly, "Can't the Lord let me pretend to be generous?" ”
Su Cheng snorted: "Be generous or not, you will know it when you auction it!" No one can pretend! ”
The red-bearded Kaili also came to the front: "The exclusive skill of the elder is that he can spend a lot of money when he should be generous, and he must be stingy when he should be stingy!" The Lord can study, but I don't think the tuition is low! This is a person in the lower store owner's house, representing the owner to participate in the opening of your bar! ”
Su Cheng stroked his chest: "Thank you!" Please take me to thank your host! If you have any needs, you can contact me directly, or let Carey pass it on! ”
Carey was followed by two men, a man and a woman.
The man was tall, with a dark face, his long hair covering half of his eyebrows, and his voice was hoarse, "Thank you Lord for your hospitality!" After saying that, he replied as if he had forgotten.
The woman wore a gauze hat and a silver gray short coat, looking like an elder, nodding slightly to Su Cheng through the gauze hat, which was regarded as a salute to Su Cheng. Su Cheng only felt a sense of grace and luxury!
Before Su Cheng could talk, King Kong Cat rumored: The Viscount of Tiezhongtang has arrived!
He nodded to everyone and said, "Lord Viscount Tiezhongtang has arrived, please take care of yourself!" I'm going to greet you. It's rude! ”
Tie Zhongtang and the three clergy arrived at the same time, and were welcomed into the door by Su Cheng. Seeing that Twilight Orange had invited three clergymen, his vision was somewhat different. Knowing that the clergy had always been low-key, he was not humble and took the lead directly into the bar.
Tie Zhongtang came to the small hall where the VIPs rested, and suddenly saw Kaili's attendant, his eyes tightened, but he saw that the person was squeezing his eyes narrowly, so he had to smile bitterly, turned his head to find another seat, and saw the attendant of the president of the Chamber of Commerce sitting in front. Now he couldn't stand it a little, as if his eyes were illuminated by strong light, and he quickly turned his head. He opened his eyes and saw Carey's henchman again. The attendant had already walked up to him at this time: "My eyes were also stabbed!" Uncomfortable, right? Hehe, let's sit down and have a drink! ”
The three regional stewards of the mercenary union over there also entered the bar, but they preferred to drink and dance with ordinary people, and Liya turned into a queen on the dance floor, constantly being invited by everyone, and couldn't stop dancing at all. She saw Su Cheng from a distance, and she only sent a flying kiss to say hello.
Earl James, as the highest status guest, arrived with his wife accompanied by Lord Simba, and he, like Tie Zhongtang, was startled by some guests in the VIP rest area, and he didn't dare to say anything when he saw the helpless smiles of others, so he had to greet his wife and honestly accompany Tie Zhongtang to drink. Both smiled gloating at Viscount Lorress not coming to the dinner.
In view of Xiao Man's illness, the dance ended early.
Su Cheng said: "Thank you for coming! The Copper Orange Bar has no sleep tonight. However, we are not celebrating the renaming of the bar, but to celebrate the inauguration of Miss Shengman, who was taken under the door of Mama Teresa, and to prepare relief supplies for this winter's White Plague! Now, I declare, the prom is over! After the inauguration ceremony of Ms. Shengshengman, we will also hold a charity auction for disaster relief, so everyone is welcome to stay and watch the ceremony! Below, I would like to invite Mama Anna and Miss Shengman! ”
Mama Anna held Shengshengman in one hand and slowly walked to the front of the stage: "I am honored to be able to guide Shengshengman's career with Mama Teresa and Deacon Matthew. With this, I have taken a big step on the path of kindness! I firmly believe that this winter's relief efforts will be successful. The light will shine in every corner of Bluestone City! With that, she took a half-step back and motioned for Shengman to move forward.
Of course Qin Xiaoman refused, she stubbornly stood in place: "What can I say?" Kindness, bravery, and wisdom can only be demonstrated by action! I declare that my weaving factory in Asbestos Village will provide cloth and clothing and bedding at cost price for the church's relief efforts until the relief needs in this area are met, or we will run out of cloth and cotton! ”
Wow! This delicate-looking beautiful priest is also a white rich beauty who owns a weaving factory!
You know, because of the reason why the bar opened and provided free drinks and the power of the curtain advertisement, not only the aristocrats came to the scene, but also a large number of players mixed in. Qin Xiaoman's weakness and strength won everyone's support in an instant!
"I'll donate ten gold coins!"
"I'll donate twenty!"
"I'll donate a hundred!"
Some of these players are really willing to donate, and some are just eyeballs, shouting to play, but some people are immediately horrified to find that their gold coins are really missing according to the amount of pledges!
There was a scream from the crowd: "My gold coins are really gone!" It's not a church! ”
"Hehe, the three **s of the church are all on the scene! They're not going to joke with you......"
Players don't dare to scream, NPCs continue to donate!
Except for the aristocracy, the net worth of ordinary NPCs is not richer than that of players, but they are more able to arouse the emotions of other NPCs. Countess James wept on the spot and wanted to donate. The Earl patted her little hand: "Darling, I will give more than all these people combined!" Don't get excited! ”
"I believe in you! But promise me to take out this chest pendant and participate in the auction! ”
What are you trying to do? I still have to pay for your chest pendant to buy it back myself? You stupid girl! "I promise you! Your kindness is also the glory of the James family! ”
As James spoke, he saw Tie Zhongtang raise his hand upwards! The count's heart was sinking......
Qin Xiaoman completed his task and went directly back to the women's lounge offline, and Su Cheng continued to perform. He doesn't have a high status, but as the owner of the bar and the initiator of the charity auction, he is the host of the auction.
"Dear benevolent people, all the gold coins from this auction will be donated to the church for disaster relief. At that time, the accounts will be made public. This is what Mama Teresa requested, so there is no need to question it. The auctions are all in kind, and I accept donations on the spot. Su Cheng paused for a moment to let everyone digest the meaning he had just conveyed. Just the name of Mama Teresa, who estimated that the budget for all the nobles to participate in the charity auction would be doubled!
"Before these physical auctions, I would like to auction a message. A few benevolent adults sold some of their personal belongings in advance and raised 13,300 gold coins for the relief operation! At present, only the parties concerned and the gods know about this matter! Who wants to know the names of these models of kindness? I'll just tell the good guy who made the sale! As for whether you want to make it public, I will not interfere! Starting price for this news: 100 gold coins! Each increase must not be less than 100! ”
It's just a habit to keep a low profile, and the church trio won't stop Su Cheng from using them to raise more disaster relief funds, on the contrary, they are supportive of it.
The only guests who came to the charity dinner in groups were the church and the mercenary union. Therefore, Su Cheng's introduction is actually a kind of bottom-revealing behavior - it is difficult for the three **s of the mercenary union to come up with such a huge amount of money. If you can't take it out, it doesn't mean that people don't support this kind of behavior, or they are unwilling to bid for this news to show favor to the other party. Hawley immediately held up a finger to signal that he was willing to buy the news.
Hawley was not the only one who was willing to show favor to the church, and all the bigwigs with knighthoods present participated in the auction of this news, and they all brushed up on the round, and each of them increased the price by a hundred. By the time Hawley raised his hand again, the price of the news had soared to five hundred. Fox also added a hundred. Huo used six hundred gold coins to buy the well-known news of this person. No one from the church trio participated in the auction, and the news was confirmed.
Hawley didn't ask Su Cheng on the spot, but only raised a glass to Deacon Matthew. Matthew nodded deeply in appreciation.
The second lot is Su Cheng's jasper knife. This set of eight sets of golden tool knives is naturally sought after by several big names. In the eyes of the aristocracy, the tool knife cannot be on the table, but the jade carved by the tool knife is a gift to return and show the taste. In the end, it was Fox who won the lot for more than double the market price.
Mr. and Mrs. James were the most distinguished guests of the dinner, and their lot was placed second. This didn't quite fit Su Cheng's idea, so he felt a little unbelievable about Fox's proposal. Su Cheng looked at Earl James and made sure that James had heard Fox's suggestion, but James was unmoved and didn't even look at it. He was persuaded to adjust the order of the auction.
"The third lot is a rapier donated by Earl James. Golden Quality! Everyone, please take a look. "This rapier is more of a craft than a weapon. The sword body is slender, only slightly wider than the heavy sword used in fencing competitions that Su Cheng has seen, the silver light is clear, the gauntlet is designed in a semi-encircled form, and the image of a two-winged angel is hollowed out, and the Roman pillar on which the angel rests is the hilt. "For this sword, the Earl quoted three hundred gold coins. Friends who like it, please bid. The markup must not be less than 100 gold coins! ”
Rapier was only raised twice by Tie Zhongtang and Simba, and it was obviously just a show. Simba only added a hundred, I thought that someone would take over, and I could add some more to give the earl face, but I didn't expect that no one would bid, and the sycophant slapped on the horse's feet. He glanced at the Count with a slight embarrassment, and took the thin sword from the attendant.
The third lot set off a round of bidding among the nobility, and it was the chest pendant that the countess had just taken off! Bidding on this item will not only get an ornament that the Countess once wore closely, but also cover up the loss of the Earl's rapier auction. Even Fawkes joined in and raised the price to a whopping two thousand gold coins!
"Two thousand five!" This is Tie Zhongtang raising the price. Su Cheng remembered the gesture that Tie Zhongtang had made to James earlier.
Buying back this chest pendant can save the face that was just lost. James is very happy with everyone's price hike! He also followed suit: "Three thousand gold coins!" Then he patted his wife's little hand: Darling, thanks to you for taking out this intimate ornament, otherwise, the face of the husband would be lost here!
"Four thousand!" Tie Zhongtang bids again! His title is much lower than James's, but it was all earned by virtue of his military merits, and with the power of his family, he didn't think about giving James an ugly look.
This price exceeded James's expectations, and he looked at Tie Zhongtang with a little annoyance, but saw Tie Zhongtang's gaze slanted - there was Fox's henchman sitting in that position! James's heart froze, and he subconsciously raised his hand: "Five thousand gold coins!" ”
Mrs. knew the price of the chest pendant, and it was already a joy to see everyone bidding at a premium, and then she saw her husband buying back this thing at any cost, she was very moved and kissed her husband, why did her husband sweat on his face? It seems like it's still a cold sweat?
In a round of warm applause, Earl James bought back the chest pendant that his wife had just donated at a very high price, and had to send a grateful look to Tie Zhongtang.
The lot of the Mercenary Guild's Iron Triangle provoked the second round of high C: Hawley took out a golden shield that he had used: "This is the equipment I used during the period from level 30 to 40, which can completely resist regular attacks with a strength of less than fifty points!" It's a little old now, and its durability has decreased, but it's worth the price of a thousand gold coins! "This thing is good, but it's a pity that it doesn't fit the current scene: only a group of Seven Swords and a dozen NPC bigwigs can afford this shield, but none of the nobles and high-level professionals on the scene are defensive warriors, so no one will buy this shield. In the end, Liu Tianshan got this shield at the reserve price in the envy and jealousy of the players on the spot.
Arnold's lot was a little strange, but it was three small pieces of silver metal: "This is what I cut off from an enemy." I named it the Iron of Courage. After use, it can increase strength by 50%, and the effective time is 5 minutes! The reserve price is 1,000 gold coins! "That's almost three lives. The lot was highly sought after by players and NPCs alike, and the premium was three times higher than that of the first sight. The player's life is not so valuable, and the main ones who compete with the blood at first sight are Simba and Fox. But the core player of Seven Swords is so good! Who told Su Cheng to believe that this thing might have something to do with Arnold's inheritance?
Liya swayed to the front of the stage: "I don't have anything to auction." Recently, I don't know where the local tyrants came from, and they have raised the price of the fire-based magic crystals in Bluestone City to two or three times as much as before, and I can't afford it! So, I'm going to auction off a fire magic apprentice spot! I will also dedicate myself to counseling for a day to help him awaken! Declare in advance: don't blame me if you can't learn! She flipped over and took out a golden piece of paper and handed it to Su Cheng: "Fire Mage Inauguration Certificate, the reserve price is eight hundred gold coins." ”
This is also what Su Cheng wants. "Okay. Each increase must not be less than 200! "Fire is a turret profession in battle, and the studio must have it, let's raise the threshold first!
At this time, a player asked, "Can I take a picture of this certificate for my friend?" ”
Before Leah stepped down, she said, "Yes!" When the time comes, we will only certify and not recognize people! ”
The player immediately shouted, "I'll give a thousand!" ”
Su Cheng looked at the name: Fire King Kong. Not a player of Seven Swords! Su Cheng slapped on the stage with one hand: "Is there anyone else bidding?" ”
This shot is the code. Feng Wu Jiutian immediately increased the price: "Fifteen hundred gold coins!" ”
Agni King Kong said: "You foul!" Shouldn't you add a multiple of two hundred? ”
"Okay! Two thousand gold coins! ”
Fawkes also joined in: "Two thousand two hundred gold coins!" ”
What are you here for? Su Cheng looked at it when he heard this, but saw that Little Fox also ran in and was biting Fox's ear. Does the president of the Chamber of Commerce want his son to take office in the Fire Law?
Feng Wu Jiutian also restrained a little: "Two thousand four hundred gold coins!" ”
Agni King Kong hasn't given up yet: "Two thousand six!" ”
Fawkes lowered his voice, but everyone heard him: "Two thousand eight hundred gold coins!" That's enough to invite an intermediate fire method to teach you for a year! "What does Little Fox want to do?
Feng Wu Jiutian did not hesitate: "Three thousand!" ”
Fawkes shook his head, ignoring his son's pleading face, and signaled to give up.
The Flame King Kong still has to hold on: "Three thousand two hundred gold coins!" ”
A pleasant voice rang out in the bar: "You only have three thousand one hundred and fifty gold coins, eighteen silver coins, and ninety-six copper plates in your money bag!" ”
Frightened, Flame King Kong turned his head to look around, but could not find anyone who spoke.
Su Cheng smiled slightly: "I don't know who counted your gold coins, but please take out three thousand two hundred gold coins for publicity." Otherwise, it will be an injustice to Miss Fengwu Jiutian! ”
Flame King Kong hesitated, and wanted to struggle: "My friend will be here soon!" He will bring me two thousand gold coins. Wait, please! ”
Feng Wu Jiutian was not polite, and stepped forward to raise the money bag: "There are 10,000 gold coins here." Who wants to help me with a little? ”
Su Cheng raised his hand: "Three thousand two hundred gold coins." Anyone else wants to bid? ”
He said it three times in a row, and slapped his palm on the table: "Deal!" ”
"Very interesting auction!" The cloaked man beside Fawkes stood up, he lowered his hood, and brushed the messy hair in front of his forehead: "I also have a lot!" ”
A suppressed exclamation suddenly sounded in the bar: "Lord Marquis! ”
Marquis Li Dingjun is tall and straight, with a majestic appearance. What's even more rare is that his face is obviously younger than Tie Zhongtang and James, and he has a bit of military temperament. The Marquis glanced around, looking a little uncomfortable. He walked up to Su Cheng's side: "Lord, you did a good job!" I can call the shots and hand over the mayor of Poplar Town to you! ”
Su Cheng hurriedly lowered his head and stroked his chest: "Listen to your arrangement!" ”
"Huh." The Marquis smiled: "I heard Anthony mention you a long time ago!" Yes, at least your current performance will not disappoint him! I'm giving you this and I hope you'll get a good price! ”
Su Cheng was a little embarrassed and said, "My lord! There are also some lots that are not auctioned, and they can also raise a lot of gold coins for the relief activities...... Can you put your lot at the end? ”
Li Dingjun laughed and sat back in his position: "You are the auction host, this matter will be handed over to you!" ”
"The next lot, the holder of the Double Orange trademark and the inventor of the Gumo javelin...... That is, I personally created a golden triangular solid magic javelin! In order to thank the Marquis for his support, I sent three additional blue solid magic javelins to participate in the auction. The reserve price is 1,000 gold coins, and each increase must not be less than 200! ”
Of course, the value of the four Solid Demon Javelins is not as valuable as a fire profession certificate, but this is the first time that the Golden Solid Demon Javelin has been sold in the form of an auction, and Su Cheng has never thought of selling it to players!
