Chapter 782: The Most Shining Gold Lord
In addition to Kent's seafood lobster, there are also a variety of delicious dishes in the private room, and the table is filled.
These were provided free of charge by the organizers of the auction house, and although these delicacies cost thousands of gold coins, almost equivalent to the total annual income of a middle-class family of three, they were nothing compared to the benefits they received from Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan spent hundreds of millions of gold coins just for the auction just now, and according to the auction practice of the Douqi Continent, the auctioneer can legally obtain five to ten percent of the profit from the auction items, and there are tens of millions of gold coins.
Among the tens of millions of gold coins, it is naturally very reasonable to take out more than 1,000 gold coins to curry favor with the gold owner.
"Next, the Ice Dragon Spirit will be auctioned, and the starting price will be 30 million! ~"The auction master continues to auction non-stop, it is rare to meet a gold owner like Xiao Zhan today, if you can squeeze more money, then squeeze more, this kind of opportunity is not available every time."
There is a popular saying in the auction industry, "If you don't open for three years, you will open for three years!" This sentence means that in the auction world, sometimes an auction may not be able to sell a lot of goods, if an auction can sell one-tenth of the total value of the treasure, then it is a very good performance, if you can sell half of it, this auction master will become a hot star in the industry, if the collection is not left of all the auction, it will undoubtedly make the auctioneer's value rise rapidly, become a major auction hall to recruit talents.
Hearing the offer of the Ice Dragon Spirit, many of the nobles who were active before were now silent.
Let's not mention that there is a super gold lord Xiao Zhan here, no matter how much you bid, he will casually offer a price that you can't reach at all and snatch the treasure away from you, so no matter how much you shout, it will be useless.
On top of that, Ice Dragon's Spirit is too expensive, and it's a probabilistic consumable.
To put it bluntly, it is a consumable used when forging equipment, generally when forging weapons or equipment, if you add the spirit of the ice dragon, it will increase the ice attribute damage of the weapon, or increase the ice attribute defense of the armor.
However, as for how much the attribute is improved, it depends on luck and the level of the blacksmith.
The higher the blacksmith's forging level, the higher the success rate, and if you are lucky, you may have the best attributes, and you may even let the equipment have the mysterious skill of the ice attribute, of course, this low probability is not much different from being hit in the heel by a meteor.
On the mainland, in addition to the alchemist being super profitable, another industry is blacksmithing, no matter what level of master, equipment is indispensable, and if you want good equipment, you must have a good blacksmith to build it, so the higher the blacksmith level, the higher the commission.
For a high-level consumable like Ice Dragon Break, at least a blacksmith of the sixth rank or above should be hired to forge it, but the price of forging a piece of equipment by a blacksmith of this level is almost the same as the equipment, that is to say, if you buy 30 million Ice Dragons, you will have to spend at least 30 million to build this equipment, and the cost will undoubtedly increase exponentially.
And some of the dignitaries and some local tyrants and financiers seated, their strength is usually around the fourth or fifth order, even if there is really a sixth-order Douhuang level master, it is difficult to be worthy of such high-end equipment, if they have sixty million, it is better to buy some pills directly, and it is more cost-effective to speed up their cultivation.
"Ice Dragon Spirit, 30 million, the best attribute of the Ice Dragon Spirit, can increase the damage of the ice attribute of the weapon, someone once used the Ice Dragon Spirit to activate the Ice Dragon Strike attribute, each attack will have a 20% probability, the strength of the opponent is lower than their own ice, this is a rare superlative, 30 million, does anyone want?" The auction master asked as he looked around the auction hall while introducing the attributes of the Ice Dragon's Spirit.
Everyone looked at each other, no one shouted the price, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
"Ice Dragon's Spirit, 30 million! ~" The auctioneer shouted again, but there was still no one in the hall answering.
At this time, in the auction area, a somewhat vague voice suddenly came, "I want it!" ~”
Everyone looked over, but soon burst into laughter, it turned out that Xiao Zhan was not holding up a bidding card, but a chicken leg.
Hearing the laughter in the audience, Xiao Zhan also smiled and put down the chicken leg and held up the sign of 30 million.
Seeing this, the auction master didn't care about shouting a few times, so he directly dropped the hammer and auctioned the ice dragon spirit to Xiao Zhan.
Ji Ran watched Xiao Zhan spend a lot of gold coins in one go, it felt easier to spend gold coins here than drinking water, and after a while, hundreds of millions of gold coins would be lost, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Brother Xiao, how many gold coins do you have? Don't run out? Leave a little money for the journey, we have to go back. Ji Ran reminded Xiao Zhan.
"Hahaha, sister, don't worry, although I Xiao Zhan lacks women, I am not short of money, just hundreds of millions of gold coins, I Xiao Zhan can still pay it." Xiao Zhan laughed, his words full of man's confidence.
The day ended with an auction in a pleasant atmosphere.
Xiao Zhan almost became the most dazzling star in the auction house, and when everyone looked at Xiao Zhan, they were full of respect, and even the city lord of Kent couldn't help but be in awe of Xiao Zhan and full of good feelings.
"Lord Xiao, the city lord invited you to dinner, I wonder if you can enjoy the light?" At this time, a person who looked like a butler in a gorgeous costume came to Xiao Zhan and asked respectfully.
When he saluted Xiao Zhan, the housekeeper nodded slightly at Ji Ran in the same respectful way to show respect.
Xiao Zhan was in a good mood and looked at Ji Ran with a smile, "How is it?" Why don't you go to the castle lord's palace and sit down? Taste the delicious wine of the castle lord? ”
Of course, Ji Ran has no opinion, it is very fun to be able to come here to play, and if he can also go to the castle of the city lord by the way, it will naturally be better.
"Okay." Ji Ran agreed with a smile.
"If you are bothered to lead the way, then Xiao Mou might as well obey his fate respectfully and go to the city lord's mansion to pay respects." Xiao Zhan said modestly.
"Yes, sir, please." The butler respectfully said a word of invitation, and then went to lead the way.
Xiao Zhan followed the housekeeper to the aristocratic area, and left the auction hall from the passage dedicated to the nobles.
The people in the auction hall had already helped Xiao Zhan pack all the auction items, put them in the carriage, and followed Xiao Zhan to the city lord's mansion together.
It is a city-within-a-city located in the northern part of the city of Kent.
The height of the inner city even exceeds that of the outer city, and the castle is heavily guarded, with keen archers on the castle towers, and guards in heavy armor guarding the castle gates.
