Chapter 124 Auction
"Lao Tzu hates local tyrants!" There is no doubt that when Chen Kai counted the gold coins to pay, he was angry at the extravagant behavior of Nero Elu and others. It's a pity that he can only say two words of resentment in his mouth, and in fact, Chen Kai himself also belongs to the local tyrant class who are hated by more poor players.
If those players who counted the purchase of materials with silver coins saw Chen Kai's behavior of counting the gold coins in his pocket but counting the gold coins, it is estimated that they would directly stare at Chen Kai with extremely contemptuous eyes and then curse the door slamming ghost in their stomachs. Of course, Chen Kai's behavior of slamming the door is not an exception, because he has no fixed source of gold coins now, and the gold coins in his hand are a little less.
For Chen Kai, the most important thing he needed to buy was the various materials for repairing his armor, among which the Dou Qi bead originally embedded in the lion's mouth on his chest was the most important. The original Dou Qi Bead could provide Chen Kai with a certain amount of Dou Qi defense after being injected with Dou Qi, and such a product was very rare. Chen Kai searched the tent shop for three hours before finding three shops that sold this item, and the quality of the Dou Qi Beads in the three tent shops varied widely. The cheapest Dou Qi Bead can only provide less than 1,000 points of Dou Qi defense, and the price is only 50,000 gold coins, but looking at the not very strong bead, Chen Kai chose to give up without hesitation.
Although Chen Kai knew that the Dou Qi Bead was embedded in the armor lion's mouth, it did not mean that the Dou Qi Bead in the lion's mouth would be extremely safe. After all, the location of the Dou Qi Bead is on Chen Kai's chest, which is an extremely vulnerable place, no matter how tightly Chen Kai's defense is, once there is a mistake, then he may be attacked here. Therefore, if the Dou Qi Beads were too fragile, then there was no doubt that Chen Kai's 50,000 gold coins would be lost, so after careful consideration, he gave up the idea of buying a few Dou Qi Beads for use.
In the end, Chen Kai spent nearly two million gold coins to buy a fist-sized Douqi bead in a tent store that others thought was a bit dark, of course, this fist size was definitely not Chen Kai's football-sized fist, but an ordinary adult fist. This Dou Qi Bead is not the largest among the products found by Chen Kai, but there is no doubt that it is far superior to other items found by Chen Kai in terms of workmanship and sturdiness, and the most important thing is that this Dou Qi Bead can store at least 15,000 points of Dou Qi. For Chen Kai, this is the most important thing, so even if it is expensive. Chen Kai still bit it and bought it.
Fifteen thousand points of Dou Qi, even if these Dou Qi can only be used for defense, is extremely important to Chen Kai, because it means that Chen Kai's survival and combat ability can be at least doubled. If he can mobilize the fighting energy inside to supplement his consumption, then Chen Kai's combat effectiveness can still be improved. After buying this Dou Qi Bead, Chen Kai immediately injected Dou Qi into it, looking at the beads that gradually turned into white gold, Chen Kai felt more and more that his gold coin was worth it.
There is no doubt that when this Douqi bead was stuffed into the broken lion's mouth on the armor, the armor that originally looked a little cracked looked more complete. At the same time, with the help of several dwarves, Chen Kai continued to collect ores and metal ingots that could enhance the armor's defenses. Although Armand and the others are not top blacksmiths, any of them are good miners, and their ability to identify materials is extremely strong. In a tent camp, sometimes being discerning is the best way to make money, because you can rely on your ability to discover what is buried.
Of course, everyone knows that there are quite a few master miners among the dwarves. Therefore, when Armand and others go to buy ore, they will be targeted and the price will be raised, so whenever there is a special mineral, these dwarves only secretly memorize the item. After leaving, he handed it to Guan Yu and Zhao Tiezhu with a note of paper, and asked the two of them to come forward to buy it. There was no doubt that the two of them were the most realistic-looking, and it was easy for the merchants to think that they were easier to deceive, and to let their guard down and let their guard down when they bought the seemingly inconspicuous but extremely precious ores.
It's just that the amount of these precious ores is not particularly heavy, and the precious metals that can be obtained after some ores are extracted are only a dozen grams or even a few grams. But even the value of the metal refined in this way far exceeds the price of the gold coins that Chen Kai and them spent on buying, even if Chen Kai is at the lowest, they can earn three or four times as much money, although it seems that Chen Kai will not sell these metals. Even some metal ores were broken by Chen Kai and put into his armor box after they were collected, which were used to assist in armor repair and enhance the armor's defense. It's a pity that there are so few of these metal ores. The increase in armor defense is not significant.
Of course, it is also a loss that Chen Kai is now encountering the merchants in the tent shop, who are worried about the situation of the entire Kandoha Territory, and begin to clear the warehouse and dump the goods and prepare to leave. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for them to find the money of some merchants, and for some merchants, there will never be a shortage of things in their warehouses. As long as Chen Kai and his family have money, they can buy things that they couldn't even think of before, but the price of some things not only does not decrease, but has an upward trend. For example, healing potions, such as food, weapons, and so on. Everyone knows that in a state of war, these things are the most important things: the former can heal one's injuries, and the latter is in charge of one's stomach and can protect one's body.
Originally, Chen Kai and the others wanted to buy some healing potions, but even the merchants who dumped the goods raised the price of the potions by at least ten percent. Looking at the offer made by the black-eyed merchant, Chen Kai almost didn't bite his tongue off. Although even if the price is increased by 10 percent, the price of buying potions here is much lower than that of pharmacy stores in some cities, but Chen Kai still feels that it is expensive. Of course, in the end, he still refilled the potions in his backpack. He even spent a lot of money on some extremely powerful healing ointments and healing potions.
The result of scattering tens of millions of gold coins was that Chen Kai's backpack was only left with money to repair his armor, and the same was true for other people's wallets. Su Xinghe directly spent a lot of money to buy a set of high-level suit armor war warrior armor, the razor-sharp spikes full of violent aesthetics were distributed on the armor, making the whole set of armor look extremely hideous and terrifying. In fact, Chen Kai felt that Su Xinghe's new armor looked a little more handsome than his armor, and when Su Xinghe put on the armor, a wild and fierce aura came to his face in an instant.
The most important thing is that according to Armand, this armor set is the best of all the armor made by this merchant, and it has the potential to improve. As long as you find a master blacksmith and some precious materials, then the armor's defense ability can be increased by at least 1,000 points, and the attribute improvement can also be strengthened instead of the current one. Of course, the attribute increase of the suit still makes this set of armor comparable to a low-level holy weapon, with an increase of nearly 45 points in strength and an increase in endurance of nearly 50 points, which are extremely powerful additional attributes. As a well-made set of armor, this set of War Warriors improves stats that are quite worth its price. Although it is still cheaper than Chen Kai's armor. At the very least, the price of the entire set of armor is almost the same as the price of the Dou Qi Beads on Chen Kai's body.
There is no doubt that Chen Kai has the highest combat effectiveness among everyone, but he is the most defeated. The price of the strange equipment attached to his armor was enough for Su Xinghe to change to a set of high-level armor, and such a set of armor among ordinary players was enough to make them crazy for a long time. In the past, Chen Kai would never have spent such a large amount of gold to buy a set of armor, because the equipment obtained during the adventure was enough for them, but most of the dungeons around the city in the game have been explored.
The rest are either super difficult, extremely frivolous, or far away from the current city map in some deserted places. Such a place is undoubtedly extremely dangerous, and you may not be able to get good things, but you may put yourself in it. The most important thing is Chen Kai, the threat they are facing now is not small, God knows if Barbat's mad dog will chase after him again, so for the sake of their own lives, even if it is expensive, they will grit their teeth and buy it.
For Chen Kai, the luckiest thing for them was to get a large amount of gold coins from the corpse of Lord Hartkanr in Kandohat City. Carrying hundreds of millions of gold coins with him, Hatkanr is worthy of being the biggest lord and rich man in the whole of Kandorhat. Even the wealth they carried with them made Chen Kai's purse swell quickly, but it was a pity that they needed to divide the gold coins equally with the guards in the Adventurers' Guild, otherwise there would be more money in their pockets now. Although Chen Kai and the others also picked up a lot of money bags dropped by players during the battle, these players who looted the manor store contributed a lot of shopping ammunition to Chen Kai and them, but they did not come as much as Hartkaner alone.
There's nothing more enjoyable for a girl than shopping, and there's nothing more uncomfortable than not being able to buy what you like while shopping. There is no doubt that Chen Kai severely suppressed the shopping desire of several girls to buy luxury goods, and made them spend all the gold coins on potions, materials and defensive items on their bodies. Of course, there are not many defensive items that can be purchased for spellcasters and priests, especially for the holy sacrifices of the Temple of Life like Chen Yi, there are not many things that can be purchased.
But what Chen Kai didn't expect was that they really found something that Chen Yi could use in Lockdilovs, but the price of this thing was really a bit expensive, and the most important thing was that it was an auction item. When Chen Kai saw this item on a small flyer distributed by an auction house, Chen Kai, who had just held coffee, squirted out a mouthful of coffee.
"Holy robes! I wipe this thing and have to buy it! Chen Kai shouted loudly and slapped the table. There is no doubt that the name of this equipment is extremely vulgar, for fear that others will not know that it is a temple class of equipment. But no matter how vulgar the equipment is, it is also something that Chen Yi must have, not to mention those attribute enhancements, just the increase in the effect of magic by thirty-five percent, and the reduction of mana consumption by fifteen percent are enough to make Chen Kai and them not tolerate gold coins for it. It's just that Chen Kai and the others know that the transaction price of this piece of equipment will definitely not be low, because it is a purple-level armor no matter how it is said. This alone is destined to sell for more than 10 million gold coins.
"Thankfully, it's a small auction!" There is no doubt that when Chen Kai and the others gathered all the gold coins, they quickly ran to the place where the auction was held, because of Kandorhat, the popularity of the whole Lotilovs was a bit depressed now. Therefore, the auction held at this time was not particularly popular, but it was precisely because of this that Chen Kai and they were able to auction the equipment.
But when Chen Kai and the others walked into the auction hall with such a mood, they suddenly found that they seemed to be thinking too simply, there was no doubt that the black oppression was definitely full of human heads. Although it was only a small auction, it still attracted a lot of people. Chen Kai is not the only one who has money in his pocket here, and at the same time, they undoubtedly do not belong to the category of rich here. Because of the large number of people, the people who could finally enter the auction house were restricted, and there was no doubt that Chen Kai, who was the largest in size, was invited out first, he really took up too much space. This kind of driving away customers is probably only found in Lockdilovs. Because there is no shortage of people buying goods here, and Chen Kai is not the only one who has been kicked out. Those who are not neatly dressed are not allowed to enter, and those who are too vicious are not allowed to enter. It seemed that those who had no money were not allowed to enter, and the attendants of the auction house chose customers with the most discerning eyes, and Chen Kai was undoubtedly denied entry for the most bizarre reasons.
There was also Alyssa, who was denied admission on the grounds that she was too beautiful and easy to seduce to commit crimes, and was denied admission to the venue for her own safety and the safety of the customers inside. This fierce reason is that Chen Kai is scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and then Chen Kai can only take Alyssa back to the hotel, and there are also several other people who were kicked out, even Fei Yun was kicked out on the grounds that he looked like a thief.
Fortunately, although Chen Kai and the others could not see the auction situation on the spot, they could still see the situation inside the auction house by means of video broadcast. Almost as soon as Chen Kai returned to the hotel and opened the video forwarded by Xu Fei, the auction had already begun. This auction was not the same way that Chen Kai bought a dragon gun for Su Wan before. Rather, it is an auction that takes place in the extremely traditional live display bid. It is precisely because of this that the personnel who enter the auction house to bid within are strictly restricted, and only by showing their financial resources can they obtain an auction qualification, and they are not qualified to even enter the auction venue.
Chen Kai: Because they concentrated all the gold coins, they only got three entry places, one of which was Chen Kai, and in the end he was kicked out because he was too big, which was an extremely depressing thing. So now all the gold coins are concentrated on Chen Yi and Xu Fei, and Xu Fei's most important thing is to buy the robe, and the second is to control Chen Yi's small wallet.
It's just that Chen Kai didn't expect that the first item in the auction was the holy robe, which is undoubtedly not good news, because in the first auction in order to liven up the atmosphere or please a good fortune, usually a more popular commodity will be auctioned. At the same time as the hot field, you can also roughly estimate the income of this auction. For Chen Kai, the price of the first auction item will definitely not be low, and if it is low, it will not be a hot field but a cold field.
There is no doubt that when the auction price broke out, Chen Kai and the others knew that this was definitely a very cruel competition, because the price in the auctioneer's mouth was not high, but very low. When Chen Kai heard the starting price of a gold coin from the video. He knew things were in trouble.
"These damn profiteers!" Everyone gave the middle finger to the auctioneer on the other end of the video in extreme resentment, but it was a pity that no matter how angry they were, the auction was still carried out according to the established process. Xu Fei began to raise his cards almost the moment the starting price was quoted, and the price he quoted surprised the auctioneer.
"Five million gold coins!" There is no doubt that Xu Fei instantly made many people start scolding his mother after quoting this price, because his price is completely uneasy and unreasonable. Even if you want others to retreat, it should be to increase the price in an instant after the price has warmed up to a certain level. Very few people would make such an irrational and instantaneous high-priced move.
"Add ten drops of the Fountain of Life!" Before these bidders could fully react, Xu Fei shouted again, and his words hit the hearts of those people like a must-kill. Before participating in the auction, Chen Kai and the others had carefully inquired about the market situation. The lowest price of a drop of the Fountain of Life is more than one million gold coins, and this time, several elven mages who helped Nero Eru and the others escape from Candorhat once again paid nearly thirty drops of the Fountain of Life as a reward. This is already one-third of the amount of all the remaining stocks of Nero Ailu, and this time, in order to be able to take pictures of this robe, Chen Kai not only took out all the gold coins, but also brought the fountain of life, and even for insurance, even the fountain of life that Chen Kai originally planned to use to make the zuò potion was also added, a total of nearly seventy drops of the fountain of life were exchanged for more than 70 million gold coins.
"Count it!" Looking at the auction hall that was silent for a moment, Xu Fei waved his hand towards the auctioneer, and he looked full of momentum with his staff held high. In order to enhance his momentum, he even borrowed Nero Alu's staff, and the legendary mage's staff plus a certain amount of disguise made Xu Fei look like a powerful archmage.
"Oh! Good! Is there a higher price for this mage to bid five million gold coins and ten drops of the Fountain of Life? There is no doubt that the auctioneer's forehead is a little oozing with sweat at this moment, it is not that he does not know the price of the Fountain of Life, nor does he not know that the price is definitely low. But the problem was that Xu Fei's unreasonable behavior of playing cards was stunned, and some people who originally wanted to bid hesitated, because they didn't know what price the auction house would calculate the Spring of Life on. Although the market price in the entire market is one million gold coins per drop, the question is who will sell at this price, and the lowest transaction price is more than 1.2 million. If the total value paid by Xu Fei at this price is as high as 17 million gold coins, but if the price is really increased at this price, then there is no doubt that he will fall into a trap.
