Episode 136 Auction of the Mystery Martial Mansion
I quickened my pace, and walked at a rapid pace, until I could no longer hear the hawker's shout, and when I looked back, the vendor did not chase him, probably looking for someone else to continue the business.
For many players, the city may be their dream place, as there are countless awe of equipment beckoning them, provided that they have money, of course.
I walked to a relatively bustling street market, where the shops along the street remained open until late in the evening, and there was a constant stream of customers. Although I was penniless, I could join in the fun, so I picked a few stores that I felt were high-end and high-grade just by looking at the faΓ§ade and walked in.
Industrial development is the historical tradition of the city, but with the vigorous development of industry, commerce has also been steadily improved, so a city must have its own iconic industry in order to develop and grow.
I saw that the classification of the shops here has been very fine, the one who specializes in daggers sells daggers, and the one who sells one-handed swords is one-handed swords, and the purpose of customers visiting the store is very clear, and the goods in those specialty stores are very complete, and the weapons from level 1 to level 50 are complete, and I heard that the production of weapons of higher level has been stopped because of the unavailability of materials.
Of course, in addition to the variety of well-classified specialty stores, hypermarkets are also indispensable, there is a large department store in the city covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters, the so-called department store, is a place where all kinds of weapons are sold in a concentrated manner, and almost all of them are cabbage prices. The people who patronize here, some are players, and some are weapon shop owners from surrounding towns, and they all come here to buy goods.
Finally, on the second floor of the department store, I found a material recycling counter, and sold the bits and pieces in my bag and exchanged them for a pitiful dozen silver coins, and there were originally more than 90 copper coins.
Walking around the department store, I did see a lot of all kinds of equipment, and all kinds of customers also saw a lot, and in this place, players and NPCs can see the difference at a glance, because as long as it's the player's, everyone will open the magnifying glass of the UI interface to check the equipment there, frowning and sighing while looking at it. In fact, I don't need a magnifying glass to see that although the equipment here is of high level, the quality is not so good.
However, as the saying goes, emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and even if you use a level 40 D-class weapon, the original attack power is higher than that of a level 10 S-class weapon. When I came to a long weapon display area, I stopped and thought about how many times I would be outnumbered, and in that case it seemed more secure to hold a spear.
As soon as I stood still, a sales lady leaned over and asked me with a smile, "Sir, how can I help you?" β
I said, "Is there anything you use that is between level 35 and level 40?" β
The sales lady was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, very few people will ask about weapons of this level, sir, you are really amazing!" So saying, she led me to a row of weapon racks, and enthusiastically introduced me to the spears and axes that were placed on the shelves.
I watched it for a long time, but I didn't see anything particularly appetizing, in fact, it is the same to pick a handful, but the price is a uniform price of "20 silver". I'm so reduced to the point that I can't even get 20 silver.
The sales lady made an introduction for a long time, and when she saw that I had no reply, she said embarrassedly: "Sir, don't you look down on the weapons here?" β
She just gave me a step down, and I said, "yes, I took a cursory look, and the weapons here seem to be all D-class, right?" β
The sales lady said: "Actually, I can also see that the aura you exude is not like you can look at these weapons, and you can actually see at a glance that these weapons are D-class, I can recommend you to go to a place." β
I was surprised and asked, "You won't let me be an appraiser, will you?" β
The sales lady said, "No, it's the Mystery Martial Mansion." I can briefly introduce to you that the Mi Wu Mansion is a mansion opened by the chairman of the store himself, and its main business is auction. β
I only have a dozen silver coins on me, and won't participating in the auction make people laugh out of their teeth?
I only heard the sales lady say again: "The auction method, each time a weapon will be taken out, the starting price is 1 copper, and everyone present can shout the price." Because the buyer didn't know what the quality of this weapon was, it was very likely that he would spend a few hundred gold and buy a knife that was too dull to even cut vegetables, or spend a few copper plates to buy a peerless weapon. I see that you have a unique vision just now, so you might as well try somewhere. β
I said, "But those warriors in the Otherworldly Realm have a way to see the true data of weapons at a glance, it seems too unchallenging for them, right?" β
The sales lady said, "Yes, so the chairman has come up with a way to keep the bidders at a certain distance from the weapons, so that they can't see clearly and can only judge with their eyes." β
I secretly thought that this is a good way to make a fortune, because although I don't have a magnifying glass, I still have some weapons in my database, and when I see the appearance of those weapons, I know the approximate ability value of these weapons, that is, I am Bole, and this business is profitable.
I said, "Is it really okay for you to do sales here, but send me somewhere else?" β
The sales lady smiled and said, "Of course, the chairman likes to make friends with well-informed and discerning young people." Recommend one more talent to him, and I can get a lot of year-end bonuses this year! β
Well, such an honest girl is really not suitable for sales, I said, "So, where is that Mystery Martial Mansion?" β
The sales lady said: "You get out of the department store, go to the right, go through two intersections and turn right, turn left at the first intersection and walk two hundred meters to arrive." β
I wrote down the route, along this commercial street and turn right and left, and finally arrived at the sales lady said that the mystery of the Wu Mansion, in the night, this mansion is illuminated by a variety of neon lights, the whole mansion up and down is only the second floor, but the exterior walls are all painted with white paint, there are exquisite carvings on each window of the exterior wall, obviously this so-called chairman is indeed a rich man worth a lot of money, I don't know if this kind of pomp and circumstance let Xiao Pa see, he will not sigh to himself.
Pedestrians walked towards the mansion in an endless stream, which shows that everyone thinks they have a unique discernment and are ready to go in and make a profit. (Narrator: Yes, yes, it's all the same as you!) οΌ
followed those passers-by into the mansion, the hall was already overcrowded, but the people here were very personable, not like when they transferred jobs in Lin Songcheng, crowded with people, all of them were red and thick-necked. Everyone here, whether it's a player or an NPC, is standing there without hurry, some chatting and laughing, some looking at a door on one side of the hall.
At the door, an old man in a suit stood and said loudly: "Tonight's auction officially starts at eight o'clock, please don't crowd and wait patiently." β
I glanced at a wall clock in the distance, it was already seven fifty, no wonder there were so many people here, I glanced at the people around, the players here don't seem to be very high-level, most of them are in their 20s, as you can see from the equipment they are equipped with, there are also players in their 30s, but only in a few.
If the masters hadn't received a special reward from the GM, then their level would only be above average in this place. And I, who was still wearing a fire ape skin armor, looked like a 20-level person, standing in this place without anyone paying attention at all.
Five minutes before the auction began, the door finally opened, and everyone in the hall lined up in an orderly manner towards the door, and I followed the crowd into the exhibition hall, which was a stepped room, and at the front of the room was a booth surrounded by a guardrail to prevent anyone from rushing up to the booth.
And there were a lot of guards standing around the booth, all of them tall, and none of them were from the Knicks Legion, probably the security guards raised by the rich man himself.
The people who entered the exhibition hall expected to be able to stand a little closer to the booth, as if the closer they were, the more chance they would have a chance to make a fortune, I watched them pile up next to the guardrail, and smiled contemptuously, with me, none of you want to steal chickens.
Don't ask me why I'm so confident, because they don't understand, it's useless to stand close, just like in the cinema, sitting in the first row and the last row will be tired, the difference is that one is tired in the neck, the other is tired in the eyes.
Although I haven't seen the movie, I also know that it is best to find a proper distance and an appropriate height to observe. A few minutes later, the side door of the exhibition hall opened, and out of it came a middle-aged man in a dress, although the figure was a little out of shape, a little fat, but not disproportionate, a pair of big eyes blazing, a circle of stubble on the lips added a bit of mature man's charm, according to my estimates, even if there is no such value, this chairman can charm thousands of girls when he is young.
Many of the people who came to the auction began to applaud, which showed that this person was the owner of the mansion. He walked up to the booth, stood on the side of the podium, coughed slightly, cleared his throat, and whispered "Test" a few times, as if he were chanting a spell, and several female players were already fascinated by it, and I thought that if the Girl of the Flower was here, she might have been drunk.
The handsome old chairman said into the microphone: "Welcome to the Miwu Mansion, whether you are a first-time visitor here or a regular visitor to us, please accept my most sincere welcome." β
Those who came to participate in the auction burst into thunderous applause. The middle-aged handsome man on the stage said again: "I believe that the people who come here already understand our auction process here, and no one thinks that this is a hotel to break in by mistake, right?" Well, tonight's auction has officially begun! Take a look at the first lot. β
At this time, from the side door of the exhibition hall, a strong man walked in, holding a boxy black box in his hand. All eyes were on the black suitcase.
