Chapter 190: Artifact-level items
"4,000 gold coins."
Bald Eagle waved his fist with a very excited expression, as if he had won a battle with his own hands.
"Number C1088 bids 4,000 gold coins, this is a war, is there a higher bid than him?"
I have to say that the bald eagle did pull a lot of hatred for Wang Hao, especially the No. 1 emperor box in Tianzi, which made some of them extremely disgusted.
I remember that when some people entered the auction hall, someone had recommended this damn emperor's box to them, but when they heard about the rent of 500 gold coins, after rational consideration, they still gave up this luxury enjoyment.
Because their wealth and status are no longer justified by such vulgar means, let's look at the surnames of these people, Rothschild, Rockefeller, Mellon...... Their last name is the best calling card.
But no one would have thought that there would really be such an upstart renting the emperor's box.
In their opinion, this is the greatest provocation against them.
The world of the rich, we don't understand.
The sons and daughters of these top consortia are all people in the same circle, and when they receive provocations from outsiders, they instinctively stand on the united front.
A smiling brown-haired man picked up the wine glass in his hand, shook the wine glass towards a beautiful girl opposite, put the wine glass to his mouth elegantly, took a sip, and his handsome face showed an increasingly charming smile.
The girl didn't appreciate it, snorted softly, and glanced at her beautiful face.
The brown-haired man didn't care, leaned back slightly, and heard a more serious voice behind him, "Young Master, it's been confirmed, it was Mei Long's Young Master who made the bid just now." â
"Oh, it turned out to be that grumpy boy, no wonder, hehe." A playful expression appeared on his face, "Then let me add another fire to them, 4500 gold coins." â
"Yes, young master." Although he felt that it was not worth using nearly half of the funds for this activity for the sake of a dragon head statue, the old man was very wise not to say a word of persuasion, and the young masters in these families were essentially the same kind of people.
The bald eagle on the exhibition stand was still full of passion, he waved his fist, and his gaze swept to a certain place above his head again, "4500 gold coins for the first time, do you have to give up like this, maybe as long as you have one more gold coin, you can take down this peerless and rare dragon head statue?" â
His voice seemed to have a magical power, which made people involuntarily think that maybe as long as he had one more gold coin, he could take down this very domineering-looking statue of the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
"You're lying, you have to increase the price here by at least 10 gold coins at a time."
Some people tried to expose his lies, but Bald Eagle responded with an unchanged face, "For those who really want to take this dragon head, there is no difference between one gold coin and ten gold coins." â
In the emperor's box, the monkey's face also showed an anxious look, he glanced at Wang Hao hesitantly, and said embarrassedly: "Otherwise, let's give up, there will definitely be better ones in the future." â
Even people who don't know how to do it can see at this time that the price is higher than the actual value of the item.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's worth the price." Wang Hao waved his hand, he knew what he was doing, it was not that he was vindictive, but that he really felt that it was worth it.
The purple bow statue of the Dragon King of the East China Sea happened to be a piece of equipment that he was familiar with, in another time and space, this piece of equipment was quite famous, and the two skills attached to it were also extremely sharp, so he naturally wouldn't let it go easily.
"5,000 gold coins."
Bald Eagle made an exaggerated ** action to express his shock, you must know that the game has only been open for a month, and to raise such a huge sum of money in such a short period of time, it is not something that an ordinary consortium can do.
Could it be that the one above is the heir of a certain Chinese consortium?
He thought with some gossip that as the world's fourth-ranked consortium, these Chinese people are too low-key in their performance, and their behavior like today is too unexpected.
The reserve price of one thousand has now increased by 5 times, which has exceeded his expectations, but he is still unwilling to sell the poisonous snake again, trying to provoke everyone's fighting spirit and reach a new high.
"Hehe, since this friend likes it so much, let's give it to him."
The brown-haired man said quietly, if you think that these people from the chaebol only know how to fight bravely, it is a big mistake, they have received an elite education, and if the degree certificate in their life history is less than a single digit, it is almost ashamed to speak up in the circle.
Take the brown-haired man as an example, he got an M**A degree from several top universities, and taught himself art and painting, and achieved a certain reputation.
Everyone is in a circle, no one is stupid, and with the withdrawal of the brown-haired man, other people from the same family background have also made the same choice, not that they can't come up with more money, but it is obviously not in their interests to make such a big move at the beginning of the auction house.
So, despite the bald eagle's shouting, it didn't get much more response.
With a little regret, the bald eagle finally rang the gavel, and said to the box above his head with a smile: "Congratulations to the VIP in the No. 1 Emperor Box, this peerless and rare statue of the Dragon King of the East China Sea belongs to you, let us applaud him." â
The audience immediately burst into warm applause, and they enjoyed a fierce battle, which was heartfelt.
"This guy is pretending to be a good person again." The monkey's expression was both happy and angry, and he tried his best to tell him that even if there was no provocation from the other party, there might still be people involved in the fight, but he still didn't have a good impression of this hypocritical man.
"He's also doing his job, and in that respect, he's doing his job."
Wang Hao didn't care very much, although the other party made him take out more than a thousand gold coins, but who told the other party to eat a bowl of rice.
And he knows very well that the other party is not targeting him.
In fact, at every auction of the century, there will be many people who hate him, but he is not the only one.
While the mood had not cooled down, a new product appeared on the exhibition stand.
It is a purple quality artifact, the Bloodthirsty Ring, which greatly enhances the player's hand-to-hand combat ability.
Because Wang Hao has the existence of the pirate code, and he is not very keen on broadside combat, he has no interest in this item.
And compared to that dragon head statue, the cherishibility and scope of use of this piece of equipment are inferior, which can be seen from the starting price of the Bloodthirsty Ring.
However, no matter how bad the Bloodlust Ring is, it can't be denied that it is a superb item, and many players who have no hope of competing for those top-tier items have targeted these secondary items.
The price of the item slowly increased from 500 until it was finally taken by an Asian man for 1,500 gold coins.
"This is a victory for the Asians, haven't I woken up yet, is there another yellow storm in this auction?"
Hearing the bald eagle's extremely provocative words, even Wang Hao couldn't help frowning, it is foreseeable that in the next auction, if there are still yellow people participating in the bidding, it will inevitably cause the white people to fight back.
Fortunately, the next few purple items still do not have Wang Hao's favorite, only one of these items is equipment, and the other few are some rare materials, or artifact parts, which are provided by players.
In this world-renowned auction, an item may command a price several times higher than the market price, and professional gamers will not miss it.
For example, Wang Hao once moved to sell the purple shipbuilding material at this auction, if he didn't raise enough funds before the auction started.
As the goods were placed on the exhibition stand, and their owners were found one by one, Meimei never waited for Wang Hao to use the power to predict the next three items in advance.
You must know that the equipment that goes to the back is necessarily the best, or that the thing is good, but it may not be suitable for you, and there is a certain risk in how to choose.
It's likely that you've been thinking that there's something better behind you, and you end up not spending your money until the end.
Therefore, at this time, the benefits of knowing the product information in advance are revealed.
"Do you really not use that power?" There was a hint of hesitation in Meimei's voice, this should not be what she should say, normally, her duty is to serve and explain, but she can't interfere with the decisions made by the people in the box.
This is also because Wang Hao looks more kind, and he has the same complexion, so Meimei dared to ask.
"So can I get information about the last three items?" Wang Hao said with kindness.
Meimei immediately made a bitter little face and said bluntly: "You...... This is Raippi. â
You must know that the number of items offered at each Century Auction is not fixed, and Wang Hao's questions are obviously beyond his authority.
"However, who called you our first **VIP here, I can only reveal that there will be an artifact-level shipbuilding drawing in the last merchandise." Meimei seems to have consulted with her superiors, and she revealed an important information very vaguely.
This is also a bonus that comes with renting an Imperial Box.
"Artifact-class shipbuilding drawings?"
Wang Hao's face changed color suddenly, it wasn't that he didn't cultivate enough, but the news was too shocking.
The artifact-class shipbuilding drawings are basically equivalent to a perfect battleship of orange quality, you know, the Black Pearl of his dreams is an artifact-class battleship.
Not only Wang Hao, but everyone else in the box was all smashed by this news, and at present, in the entire game, there are not many ships with purple quality in the hands of players, let alone orange quality legends.
Although Wang Hao's enhanced version of the Venetian gunboat was known as the strongest warship of the second order, it definitely did not include the purple ships.
The Venetian gunboats are strong, but they are not the only ones, and as the player level increases, the number of Venetian gunboats is not too small, although not overwhelming.
However, purple ships mean that they are limited editions, and no matter what time period they are, there will never be more than one slap in the face of the same purple quality ship.
The orange quality symbolizes a unique surname, which means that there is only one of them in the entire game, and it is unique.
Any artifact ship is superior to any ship of its class.
"Gotta take him." The monkey clenched his hands into fists, his eyes flashed with raging flames, and he couldn't wait to say, "If you don't have enough money, I still have a little private money here, and I'll lend it all to you." â
His private money is not much, only a few dozen gold coins, and it will not be of much help to the results of the auction, but Wang Hao felt a strong brotherhood in these words.
Next, Jie Shao, Dong Ge, as well as York, Chrissy and others also expressed their willingness to lend money to Wang Hao to participate in the competition for the artifact-level shipbuilding drawing.
They didn't know how much the drawing was worth, but they could imagine it was definitely a sky-high price.
"I shouldn't have bought this dragon head statue if I knew it would."
The monkey looked at the items in front of him and paused, compared to the orange ships, the other commodities were floating clouds, and at this time, there were thousands of more gold coins, and the hope of grabbing the artifact-level shipbuilding drawings would naturally be much greater.
Although Wang Hao's face was still calm, he was secretly calculating in his heart, after deducting the money for buying the dragon head statue, he still had almost 40,000 gold coins left, which should be enough.
It stands to reason that it should be enough, but the style of those top rich players is really difficult to deduce from the thinking of ordinary players, and if he really misses this opportunity, then he will definitely regret it.
"Excuse me, can I have some more money coming in?"
Hearing Wang Hao's words, the smile on Meimei's face became even sweeter, isn't it obvious that he is sending them money, "Yes, we can open a portal for you, as long as your people arrive at the designated place, they can be teleported to this box." â
Wang Hao nodded to show that he understood, the other person he was looking for was his attendant, the timid and greedy NPC attendant Perley, this guy still had at least 50,000 gold coins in his hands, if he could borrow these, it should not be a problem to take down the artifact ship map.
As for how to lend him money with the surname of Pelly, this is not something that Wang Hao has to consider now.
On the deck of the "Drifting Snow", Pelly looked at Hal with a blank face with a bored face, as the only one of his kind on the ship who could talk to him for a couple of words, he had the heart to lean in and say a few words, but every time he approached, the other party cast a cold gaze, so that he swallowed all the words he wanted to say back into his stomach.
Old-fashioned, wooden, and without any interest, this is the evaluation that Paley made to the other party, although he knew in his heart that the master was obviously more trustworthy to the one in front of him.
"It's so boring, sleep, sleep."
I don't know why, he suddenly misses the master a little, at least when he's bored, someone can say a few words.
"Mr. Paley, I have your delivery."
A childish voice suddenly came from the dock, and Paley looked at the dock a little dazedly, it had been a long time since he had heard this familiar name, and he remembered that the last time was in France......
Remembering the good times in France, Paley was in a good mood and counted two copper coins as a rare consumption for the newsboy who delivered the letter.
After reading the letter quickly, Paley's face suddenly showed an excited look, he raised the letter in his hand and put it in front of Hal's eyes, and laughed loudly: "See, the master called me to go to the Century Auction, haha, he really likes me a little more." â
Hal silently glanced at the letter and Paley's arrogant and smug face, and then turned away without the slightest change in his expression.
"There's no sense of accomplishment in bullying honest people."
After laughing for a while, Pelly himself was a little discouraged, and he had no ambition to fight with such a piece of wood, and then hummed a French ditty and walked towards the place specified in the letter.
What no one noticed was that listening to the piercing little song, Hal's palms involuntarily clenched into fists.
An inexplicable flame rose in his heart, and for the first time in his life, he had the urge to be a flat man.
If Pelley knew that Wang Hao was going for his money bag, I believe that his mood at the moment would never be as good as it is now.
After arriving at the designated place, Paley passed through a white light gate, and when his vision was restored again, he saw a large group of people, including Wang Hao.
"Good evening, beautiful ladies, I am the former quartermaster of France, Admiral PÊlÊ of the Right Wing Fleet, and it is a great honor to see you here." With that, Paley made a perfect gentleman's courtesy.
If his figure wasn't so fat, if he hadn't taken the initiative to grab the beauty's hand, everyone present would have regarded him as a gentleman.
"It's ......"
Meimei was a little stunned, she pulled back the small hand held by the other party, and looked back hesitantly.
Wang Hao suddenly touched his nose with some embarrassment, he never thought that this dead fat man was actually lustful in addition to being greedy for money, which really made him feel a big mistake.
"This is my squire officer Pelly, he's all talking nonsense, don't be surprised." After speaking, Wang Hao glared at this guy fiercely.
The thickness of Paley's face was obviously still beyond everyone's expectations, ignoring the displeasure on the faces of the women, and he stepped forward to boast about some of his glorious experiences in France.
"It's ...... An NPC? â
Someone asked in a whisper.
"Well, a captain-class NPC."
Wang Hao said helplessly, he didn't mean to hide the matter of subduing a captain-level NPC, but he didn't want to make it known to the world, except for a limited number of people such as York, it was the first time that others had heard of it.
"Wow, you're amazing." Meimei's eyes showed a look of adoration, don't get me wrong, she worships the god of gold coins, and Wang Hao, who can have a captain-level NPC, obviously has a status in her heart that has risen several notches.
Jie Shao and the three of them looked at Peli curiously, to be honest, there were so many surprises that Wang Hao brought them today, so many that they were already a little numb.
If it weren't for the fact that this guy was acting too strangely, it would have been difficult to touch their nerves when they were idle.
While everyone was chatting, the auction below was still continuing, and after learning the news of the artifact-level ship map, Wang Hao and the others naturally would not be interested in other commodities anymore. (To be continued.) )
