Chapter 377: Donation or Business
Rowe is Kenny's royal city, where the status of the tribal chieftain is not high. From the perspective of the royal city, the highest position is the governor who is in charge of the whole of Kenny. Under the governor is the head of the garrison corps of Luo City and the lord of Luo City, and further down are the three major forces of the Sacrifice Alliance, the Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild, and the Sacrifice Alliance of the Dark Dawn is equivalent to the Magician Guild in other regions. As for the other professional unions, their status was only slightly higher than that of the chiefs of the tribes. Take Chief Tsavo as an example, and it sounds like a famous leader, but in fact, his nominal sphere of influence is smaller than that of Poplar Town. Their strength matches the strength of the tribe he represents. But the chief's position is recognized by the system, which gives him more room to operate: when other people's ranks can only enter and exit the town-level map, he can enter the city; When others can enter the city, he can enter the main city! Although it is only once a month, it can also get more and more advanced development opportunities than other mercenary groups that have nothing to do with it. The benefits do not stop there, the chiefs are also naturally recognized by local forces at all levels, and they can be discounted in trading, buying and selling. Now, when it's time to pay off the bills, every indigenous NPC that comes in is a relative or elder of Chief Tsavo, and the cordial and friendly greetings and lowly greetings keep Chief Tsavo busy.
Boss Su watched it for a while, but he had to give up the idea of 'supervising' the chieftain, and began to scratch his head and write the opening message of the auction. Sinking down and recalling the first charity auction he held in Bluestone City for a while, Boss Su's heart gradually bottomed out.
The status of a chieftain depends on the size of his tribe. Usually similar to the mayor of Twilight. The face of the Tsavo chieftain mainly comes from the 'kinship' relationship between the chiefs. As for the more advanced professional trade unions, even the mercenary trade unions and sacrificial alliances, they sent one person to welcome the face of the chamber of commerce. At the level of the City Lord's Palace, the garrison, and some of the marquis' and earl's mansions, it was only the butlers and the like who cameβso most of them were people that the Tsavo chieftain could not afford to offend. Being arranged to receive these people also reflects in some ways the importance that the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Hairo, attaches to Chief Tsavo. Thinking of this, the chief worked quite hard. After these 'uncles' were arranged, Chief Tsavo returned to the auction table, and only then did he see that only half of the entire auction hall had been seated. Not lively enough, this is something that auctions for all levels are afraid of. The people sitting in the audience were also a little unhappy and began to talk about each other.
Chief Tsavo tapped the table with the back of his fingers: "Everyone, don't be impatient! There weren't too many people here today. This is deliberately arranged below. All adventurers were turned away. However, they can use the magic circle on the ticket to participate in auctions and purchases by purchasing tickets. Indeed, because a certain product is large in quantity but not of high value, it is more convenient to sell in this way. β
"Boy, do you mean that there are a lot of people who are buying tickets to watch a play and looking at us now?"
"Yes!" Chief Tsavo was blunt: "But tickets are very expensive!" At this moment, the people who can see the entire auction hall through the space installation have spent a gold coin! β
There was a buzz from the audience. Live broadcasts, tickets are usually only one or two silver coins! For example, the ring match between Dom and Baron Twilight can only charge 30 silver coins, so why do you charge one gold coin for an auction? It's strange that it can be sold!
Chief Tsavo put his hands flat and pressed: "Please be quiet. I can tell you that nine hundred tickets have been sold so far! When I get 1,000 tickets sold, I'll lower the ticket price to 10 credits! β
"What the hell are you doing? In doing so, those who spend a gold coin to buy tickets will tear down the Chamber of Commerce's auction hall! β
"Buyers of these 1,000 tickets will get one item for sale this time: the Five Spirit Fat Bandage. Please take a look at the product book! β
Wuling Fat Bandage: A patented product of the Twilight Continent Frost City Bluestone City Sanqi Pharmaceutical Factory. In addition to the hemostatic effect of ordinary bandages, it can also remove the damage caused by low-level poisons and relieve the damage caused by medium-level poisons in small amounts.
"You're using us people." A steward of the City Lord's Mansion let out a clear sound of resistance.
"I don't think you will. Those who spend a gold coin on tickets won't mind either. Because Baron Twilight's request is to donate all the 1,000 gold coins to the charity in Luo City! Now, ticket sales have exceeded a thousand. Ladies and gentlemen, we are now going to open the auction of the Baron's main merchandise. If you are not satisfied with the ticket sales, you can leave! β
Can I leave? Let the organization he represents or the lords and nobles behind him bear the reputation of 'ignoring charity', no one dares!
It was the housekeeper with a nice voice who said: "Prepare a donation box for me, and when I leave, I will also buy a ticket!" Do you donate this ticket money? β
Without waiting for the baron's instructions, the chief spoke: "I can call the shots, and we will donate this money as well." I'm sure the Baron would have made the same decision! β
The audience immediately laughed: "Everyone buys it!" Don't grind, we'd like to see what else this Twilight Baron and you have in mind! β
"Although the Five Spirit Fat Bandages are not expensive, and the Baron has also brought more than ten thousand copies, I still have to remind everyone that through the ticket channel, we have already sold six thousand copies! If you are interested in this item, please buy it now, don't wait until the sale is out! β
The price of a gold coin is quite expensive for players, but for the NPCs in the royal city, it is just a sprinkler, I heard that more than half of it has been sold, and the audience was suddenly anxious, everyone hurry up, you twenty and fifty subscriptions, and the sale of all the five spirit fat bandages can be done in less than a minute.
Chief Tsavo sighed heavily, "You're in too much of a hurry...... I haven't bought it myself! Who will give me two? β
The audience laughed: "You just wait for your baron friend to bring it to you next time!" β
"That's all there is to it. The second lot is divided into two types: the patented product peeling knife produced by the Orange Iron Factory in Bluestone City, Twilight Continent. One is of gold quality, a total of 100 handfuls. One is blue quality, and it is also a hundred. Gold quality sells for 100 gold coins. The blue one sells for eighty gold coins. In particular, five of the gold-quality peeling knives are double-orange, i.e. forged by the inventor himself. I won't talk about the high collectible value of these five knives. The knife does not increase the price, and is sold in the middle of these hundred golden knives. The numbers have been lined up and placed in Mr. Titanic's hands. After the sale, it will be distributed by Titanic-sama, so please trust his fairness. β
This time, some people still questioned: "The gold-quality peeling knife is mixed with five collectible patentes, and I can accept the price." Why is the blue one sold for such a high price as eighty? β
"Hehe, please take a closer look at the difference between blue and gold. As far as I know, in Twilight Continent, cyan quality peeling knives are selling better than golden ones! So the price between the two has not been much different. β
Peeling knife for oranges: Golden. Utility knife, which can be used as a weapon.
Damage: Strength plus ten. Attack range one, attack speed nine. Endurance forty.
Additional attribute 1: Enlarged wounds. Attacking an existing wound can enlarge the wound and deal the same damage as the original wound.
Additional attribute 2: The level of the skinning skill is increased by one.
Additional attribute 3: When peeling off a damaged hide, the breakage rate will not be increased.
Peeling knife of the orange: Blue. Utility knife, which can be used as a weapon.
Damage: Strength plus ten. Attack range one, attack speed seven. Endurance forty.
Additional attribute 1: Enlarged wounds. Attacking an existing wound can enlarge the wound and deal the same damage as the original wound.
Additional attribute 2: When peeling off a damaged hide, the breakage rate will not be increased.
"For most people, they don't have the opportunity to peel the fur of high-level beasts and monsters, so the most widely used special effect of this knife is actually 'it will not increase the breakage rate'!" After Chief Tsavo finished explaining, the little butler of the City Lord's Mansion, who had repeatedly asked questions, sat down and seemed to begin to discuss the truth of these words with the people around him. By the time he got an affirmative answer, the Golden Peeling Knife was sold out! As soon as the little butler's delicate little face collapsed, two tears flowed down - with my identity, if I had a blue knife, how would I see people? The companion next to him hurriedly began to persuade, and lamented in his heart: "How did I bring this little ancestor to a place like the auction?!" β
Before the auction began, Chief Tsavo was busy again: "Before the auction of the last batch of Black Mamba snake venom potions, Baron Twilight and I signed a gambling agreement: in this auction, as long as the total price exceeds 80,000 gold coins, Baron Twilight will donate all the extra gold coins to the Montenegro Disaster Relief Committee, and the only condition is that the accounts will be made public when the disaster relief committee uses these gold coins. And my agreement project is: if the proceeds of this auction do not reach 80,000 gold coins, I will only keep the commission of one gold coin as a souvenir! So, for the sake of my commission, I implore you not to be stingy with your possessions, if you don't spend enough gold, it will be taken away by Baron Twilight! Only if you spend more, the money will go to the Montago disaster relief project and stay local! β
"Can you tell me how much gold you've collected so far?"
"Twenty-eight thousand gold coins! Oh, and I've already donated a thousand gold coins. Now it's only twenty-seven. Below is two hundred and five copies of black mamba snake venom. Ten sticks are auctioned at a time. The last five will be given to the top five buyers! Starting price: 3,000 gold coins! β
The little butler pouted: "This baron is too stingy!" If they were all bought at the reserve price, he would only donate a few thousand gold coins after they were sold out! β
Everyone laughed again, and a fat man turned to the little butler and said, "Little ......, what you said is a bit biased, these extra gold coins are donated by us!" It's not the cunning baron who is donating! β
