Chapter 50: Auctions
"No problem!" Everyone replied with a sigh of relief. Blue Blood Blue Sky was a little worried, and said: "Captain, isn't this too risky, a group and a few, the strength is obviously different!" ”
"It's a bit risky, but if you don't do this, how can the strength of the brothers be improved? Blue blood, you should know, challenge your own limits, so that you can grow faster! Ignoring the worries of the blue blood and blue sky, I turned my head and pointed in one direction: "There are 16 Bailin bee beasts 300 meters ahead, brothers, let's go kill them." ”
"Yes, Captain!" Everyone responded in a hurry, followed me, and ran forward. Blue Blood had to put his worries aside and keep up with me.
The next time, we all spent the time in the dead woods, the effect of challenging the limit is obvious, in a not too long time, we have made great progress, my thunderbolt knife, finally upgraded to level 20, and the blue blood blue sky, his proud snow swordsmanship, has reached level 35. The rest of the team members have also been promoted to level 3-5. Of course, they also paid no less than 2 resurrection fees because of this.
After we had struggled to destroy a group of 23 Bailin bee beasts, I heard the sound of the system's prompt: "Long Teng, the auction in Jiana City will start in an hour, please go quickly." ”
I set up my itinerary for the next few days early in the morning, and when I heard the prompt of this system, I immediately said goodbye to the blue blood and blue sky and opened the return to the city.
Back in Berserk City, I saw Liuzi. "Liu Jie, have you already reached level 20?" I hurriedly greeted her, and she finally came to meet me at this deadline.
"Dragon!" Liu Zi was very happy to see me, and when she saw Ya'er behind me, she couldn't help but run closer, looked at Ya'er carefully, and picked up Ya'er's hand, and said, "Dragon, this is Sister Ya'er, she looks like a very cute girl, is she really a very cute girl?" ”
"Ya'er, call sister." I said to Ya'er, who was overwhelmed by Yoozi's behavior and looked at me with a blank eye.
"Hello sister!" Ya'er whispered.
"Ya'er, come, sister will give you a bracelet." Liu Zi took Ya'er's hand and put a white jade bracelet on her beautiful wrist without saying a word. I don't know what the function of the bracelet is, but the color is very similar to Ya'er's complexion, and the two are together in a shadow.
"Thank you, sister!" Women may have a natural love for jewelry, and even Ya'er, who is composed of programs, looks at the bracelet on her wrist with joy and happily thanks Liu Zi.
"Sister Liu, let's go, time is running out." I urged.
"Good. Liu Zi took Ya'er's hand and walked into the teleportation array with me.
This special auction of warrior skill books in the city of Mana was organized by an organization called Sea Anemone. In the game "Taimeng", there is no such thing as an underground auction, because LX does not crack down on transactions between players, and players can freely hold auctions in the game "Taimeng" as long as they pay a certain amount of application fee. The application fee is not very high, and the system will also provide some relatively simple services for the auction, and those special services are very worthwhile compared with the application fee paid. Therefore, as long as it is a more influential auction, they will not refuse to pay the application fee.
The auction was not very big, but there were quite a few people who came, and they filled the whole square. In the game, there is no such thing as an auction house, and all auctions will be held in the city square. As long as the organizer submits an auction application to the system, after the system agrees, the system will set aside a piece of land in the square and hand it over to the organizer. Players who want to participate in the auction can participate in the auction as long as they enter the territory demarcated by this system. The size of the site to be auctioned is determined by the auction application of the organizer, and the larger the site, the higher the price required. Moreover, the organizer, as long as he pays an additional price, can also temporarily increase the site of the auction house.
I looked around the auction floor and saw that they were all excited, and they had no qualms about loudly expressing their opinions about the auction or vowing what they were going to sell. These people, the so-called ordinary players who represent most of the people in the game, are anxiously waiting for the auction to start while talking, and I have also found some special people, they are different from those excited people, they seem very calm, and they look around from time to time, observing the reaction of the crowd to this auction, needless to say, these people are those more professional players, some of them may be sent by those big booksellers, but there should be many people like me, who come here to watch, See if you find a speculative player with information that is beneficial to you.
"Dragon, it seems that there are many people who plan the same as you!" Liu Zi looked at those who looked very calm, and in my ear, blowing softly.
"Sister Liu, this is normal! There are so many people in this game, and of course there are people as smart as me. I said to Liu Zi with a boastful voice.
"Less stinky and beautiful you." Liu Zi touched me lightly, and then asked me in a low voice, "Dragon, there are so many players here, and those booksellers want to keep the book very low, I'm afraid it will be very difficult?" ”
"They don't have to keep the price very low, as long as they can make the players who have the book feel that the price is going to go down, they've succeeded. I think that if there are too many bidders this time, those auctioneers will come up with a very small number of books, and anyway, none of their special auctions will have all the lots marked. And, if that happens, they'll add more auctions on an ad hoc basis, and I'm sure they'll be able to pull down the price of the book before the biggest auctions begin. I said softly.
The auction started on time, first with the hosts saying something very agitative, and then with the cabaret performance, which is the normal procedure of the auction. When that's all over, the auction begins.
The first auction is a mid-level warrior skill book called Xingyi Boxing, the opening price of this book, but not as low as I imagined, it actually opened to a starting price of 4000000 silver coins, this price, for this boxing spectrum, it is indeed a little high, because in this game, there are quite few players who practice boxing, this is just because, even if the simple fist is equipped with boxing gloves, the power is still much lower than other martial arts that use weapons at the same level. Therefore, the boxing spectrum has always been small, and of course, the price of the boxing spectrum is not high.
The three-dimensional projection of the Xingyi Fist Spectrum was magnified by the system thousands of times and rose in the middle of the square, which made it possible for all players participating in the auction to see the appearance of the boxing spectrum clearly. Above the stereoscopic projection of this fist book, there is also a string of huge numbers. Moreover, the number kept changing, and soon it rose from 4,000,000 to 5,020,000.
"5,020,000, do you still have anything to add? This Xingyi boxing is not an ordinary boxing spectrum, everyone still remembers the strong air in the 134 area, at that time, he used Xingyi boxing, one punch to beat his opponent Crazy Tiger ah! The power of Xingyi Fist was obvious to everyone at that time! Yes! Now someone is out to 5,040,000, hey! That is a benevolent brother, if you slap this Xingyi fist back, I believe that you will soon be able to break through the ninth-order warrior and reach the heaven-level realm that others dream of. Oh, now someone has come out to 6000000, there is a vision! ......." Whenever there is a cold scene, the host's incendiary words will sound on time, so the price soared all the way, and in the end, this Xingyi boxing book was sold at a sky-high price of 8,050,000.
"Dragon, your thoughts don't seem right, like now, those books can't be lowered at all!" Liu Zi saw that the Xingyi Boxing Book was auctioned away at a very high price, and she couldn't help but doubt my previous thoughts.
"Sister Liu, don't worry, this auction is just the beginning of this conspiracy, and it won't be long before you see the scene we imagined." I was also taken aback by the sky-high price of the boxing book, but when I carefully considered the auctioneer's intentions, I suddenly understood that this trick should be called "Capture and Indulgence".
"Sister Liu, think about it, if the price of those skill books drops a little bit, it can cause panic among the holders, and only a significant drop in the skill books can arouse their vigilance! In order to achieve such an effect, increase the price of skill books now, so that you can have enough room to manipulate these books in the future! I saw that Liu Zi didn't seem to understand yet, so I explained to her softly.
"Now, we just have to watch, and the auction in the future will be our stage!" Finally, I concluded.
"Dragon, isn't it a waste of time for us to come here now? We just need to participate in the next auction. ”
I shook my head: "Sister Liu, what I just said was completely speculation, we don't know exactly what this thing is going on, so standing on the front line of intelligence is what we have to do now." In this way, we will have opportunities that others cannot grasp. ”
Then, six or seven more Intermediate Warrior Skill Books appeared, and all of them, as I expected, sold for a high price, and finally, when the auction ended, they sold a total of 30 Intermediate Warrior Skill Books. In addition, there are 3 low-level warrior skill books, these low-level skill books, are books that are not available in the system, although there is no power, but those skills, are quite distinctive.
Before the end of the auction, the host announced: "Thank you for your participation, this auction was quite successful, in order to express our gratitude to all players, we will temporarily add an auction in 6 game hours, those things, and the books just now, do not give in, when the time comes, please continue to participate." ”
"Dragon, you're there! Sure enough, they added auctions on an ad hoc basis. "Liu Zi heard the host's words and immediately punched me in the shoulder." Dragon, what are we going to do now? Liu Zi asked me.
"Sister Liu, you go outside the game now and closely observe the situation of the auctions in the forum." I thought about it for a moment and ordered Liu Zidao.
"Good! Guaranteed completion of the task. Liu Zi saluted me cutely.
In the following days, I shuttled through various auctions, and as I expected, the skill books in the auctions were declining day by day, and similar auctions in various cities had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they had become very numerous. Moreover, according to Liu Zi's report, now the forum is full of countless news about the price reduction of the warrior skill book, and these news, like the previous analysis of the world of buying and selling, are very reasonable. This makes players who have to brush out the book in the game, looking at this overwhelming price reduction trend, can no longer sit still, and those players who bought the low price at the beginning are full of regrets. "Dragon, can you make a move?" Liu Zi asked me when she saw that those skill books had dropped to an average of 1,500,000 per book.
"It should be okay, I think, we should eat some slowly, Sister Liu, you will act alone in the future, as long as the intermediate skill book is lower than 1000000, you will enter them all, if it exceeds 1500000, you don't need to pay attention to them, and, Sister Liu, you have to enter more sword spectrum and sword spectrum, these two things, the most people have learned, and it will be easier to shoot in the future." I also felt that the time had come, so I instructed Liu Zidao.
I exchanged the 8 million yuan that I exchanged for game currency in the morning for 800 million game currency, and crossed 300 million. Liu Zi got the money and immediately rushed to the nearest auction.
At dinner, as soon as I approached the dinner table, Liu Zi said to me worriedly, "Dragon, today, there are many players who have swiped out a lot of books in the Warrior Guild. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then my face began to turn a little pale. "Sister Liu, how many books have we bought now?" I asked Liu Zidao.
"It's 73 in total! To buy them, we spent almost 120 million! ”
"How much do those skill books cost now?"
"Since the news of the book came out, the price of those skill books has dropped by 2 percent, and their price is now less than 1 million. I think the price will continue to fall. ”
"What's the reaction of the other booksellers?"
"Panic! They were panicking, if it weren't for their eagerness to sell what they had in their hands, the price of this book wouldn't have been pulled down so quickly, Dragon, are we going to continue? ”
I know Liu Zi's worries very well, originally, I feel that I have grasped the essence of the matter, and I am very confident that I will make a steady profit in this turmoil, but now, there is this book brushing incident, and I can brush books in the guild, so it means that LX Company is ready to slowly relax the restrictions of this intermediate skill book, which may mean that I can buy intermediate skill books casually in the guild in the future, which means that these books I bought at a high price now have become worthless garbage. Those small booksellers had such concerns, so they couldn't wait to release the books in their hands.
"Sister Liu, I think, this matter has become a gamble, those big booksellers, they directed this play, but now, things are no longer going the way they thought, if LX Company really intends to open the intermediate skill books, then, those auctions they painstakingly directed, will make the price of those skill books plummet, and the price of the skill books that has been lowered will not rise in the future, I think, they must be going on the auction now, they are gambling, LX Company won't be opening the Intermediate Warrior Skill Book so quickly. I thought about it for a long time and analyzed Liu Zi.
"Dragon, do you have the same plan?" Liu Zi asked.
I nodded, "Sister Liu, if you want to make money, you have to take some risks appropriately." ”
"However, the risk is too great, too uncertain. Long, this time those big booksellers made such a big move, maybe they can hide it from some people, but can they hide it from the people of LX Company? The people who can work there are some of the best people in the world, maybe it's LX that teaches those big booksellers a lesson? ”
"Sister Liu, aren't you saying that LX Company is just likely to do this? We still have half a chance, and besides, following the ass of those big booksellers, the chances are much greater, after all, those big booksellers, the energy is also very large, even if LX Company opens up the intermediate skill book, I think, they can find a better way to deal with it. I said a little stubbornly.
Liu Zi didn't speak anymore, but from her slightly frowning brow, I could tell that she was still very worried. And I didn't do that, this time, I took too much risk, and now that I look back, my previous ideas were so immature, I missed many key points. Although I used to think about the positive and negative sides of the problem, my thoughts always ran on the good side, and the risk side was overshadowed by the huge benefits, and I couldn't see it. "Dragon, it's better to be like this, those high-level warrior skill books, their prices, in this panic, the price will definitely come down, and we will do their business, and the risk will be much less." Liu Zi thought for a long time, and finally raised her head and suggested to me.
"Sister Liu, you may not know the price of those high-level warrior skill books very well, and we can't buy a few copies with the money we have. Moreover, the other people are not stupid, have you noticed, those panicked little booksellers, they are just selling those intermediate warrior skill books, think about it, we have noticed that there are several auctions where advanced skill books are sold, and even if there are, they are quickly bought, we can't do the business of advanced skill books! I explained to Liu Zi with a wry smile.
"However, if we have the chance, we can also try." I paused and said, "Sister Liu, let's pay more attention to those small cities in the future, right?" Especially those auctions organized by the players themselves, I thought, maybe we can find a breakthrough there? ”
"Those small places are indeed places that those booksellers can't take care of, I think, even if you can't buy advanced skill books there, the intermediate skill books will be relatively cheap, but those auctions, there are too few books, there are only a dozen or so books at a time, otherwise, I will go to those small auctions early in the morning." Liu Zi saw that I accepted her advice, and her mood was no longer as dull as just now, and she was also a little happy.
"After that, let's go to those small places, and the little things add up, and, perhaps, there will really be an unexpected gain? Let's hurry up and eat, we have enough time for this meal to catch up with a few times. I urged, gulping up the rice in the bowl, but I didn't expect to be choked, which made Liu Zi scramble.
At dinner two days later, Liu Zi served me a bowl of soup, and looking at me gobbling up, she couldn't help but remind me: "Dragon, don't eat so fast, be careful of choking, the auction in Crazy Battle City will start in two hours?" ”
"Sister Liu, that is the biggest auction in this period of time, and it will be held at the same time, there are 3 others, after these auctions, this turmoil will come to an end, our robbery plan this time, whether it is successful or not, depends on the performance of those big booksellers in these auctions." I squeaked and whimpered as I took my meal in my mouth.
"I really don't understand, if you want to know the result, isn't it just as clear when you read the report? Why do you have to go to the site? Liu Zi shook her head and said.
"Sister Liu, this is different, and besides, do you think I can wait that long with peace of mind? This time, I put all my net worth into it. I swallowed a mouthful of food desperately and said.
Liu Zi didn't say anything more, she silently sandwiched the food for me, and sometimes advised me to eat slowly, and soon, we were done. After a hasty tidying up, we got into the game.
"Hey! Brother, these days, it's going well! "We came to the Wanghe Tower, where the world was buying and selling, and when the world was drinking tea, when they saw us, they immediately greeted me." Thanks to my brother's blessing, it's going well! "I sat down unceremoniously at the table where the world was bought and sold, this guy didn't seem to have anything to do, every time he came to him, he always saw him drinking tea.
"Who is this?" The world saw Ya'er and Liu Zi behind me, pointed to Liu Zi and asked me.
"This is my sister. The surname is Liu! I replied.
"Good boy, it's a sister, it's a sister, it's not the same type, right?" The world opened his eyes wide and stared at Liu Zi carefully, his action made Liu Zi a little angry, but I didn't say that before, she was not good at seizures.
I understand the words of buying and selling the world, and I also understand his unreasonable behavior now, so I smiled and said: "Brother, she is my sister, I can't control her, if you are taught a lesson, I can't help." ”
"Ahh I'm sorry, I'm so rude, Miss Liu, don't be too surprised, I'm really suffering from that kid. "The world also found itself rude. Hurriedly apologized. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Online Game Eternal Disobedience Law God Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
