Chapter Thirty-Six: I Don't Know the Height of the Earth

"First of all, thank you for coming here at this time for this auction." The Frozen Banshee said words of thanks in her voice, which had no warmth, but her words cleared my previous doubts about why she was here.

"If you can come here, it means that you have contributed to this war against China, and in return for this, you will receive a distribution of the spoils! $ grid. ”

The meaning of the Frozen Banshee's words is obvious, this auction is an act of distributing profits by all the guilds that have launched aggression against our country, so all those present are my enemies. Of course, this is the game, the player can be resurrected when he dies, and if in reality, the heads of hostile countries gather together like this and I will be mixed in, it will be cool, and the entire command system of the other party can be destroyed at once, but here it is simply impossible.

After finishing the opening remarks, the Frozen Banshee finally got to the point. "Because the war itself consumes resources, we need to consume a lot of money in advance before occupying the Chinese cities. Therefore, in order to ensure that the war can continue, we must have access to war funds. Where does this funding come from? It comes from the auction funds that you will use for the meeting. After a while, the staff of the Pantheon will be responsible for the specific operation of the auction, and they will explain what the rules and precautions are. With that, the Frozen Banshee left the auction table, and a tuxedo-clad auctioneer walked up and began to take over the auction.

"Hello everyone, I'm the auctioneer of this auction, and I won't say my name, so I don't think you want to know. Now let me tell you about the auction process and rules. First of all, I would like you to understand the risks of this auction. Since the cities and resources we sell have not actually been mastered by us, it is also possible that you pay but do not get the cities you deserve, please be clear about this, don't get the city to quarrel with us when the time comes, we will not be able to manage the money at that time. Speaking of this, the auctioneer suddenly smiled and said, "Of course, the possibility of not getting the city is actually very low, after all, we have prepared the plan very carefully this time, so you don't have to worry too much." ”

After saying this, the auctioneer paused for a moment before continuing: "Okay, now I'll talk about the auction rules. Because the things we sell are quite special, the rules are more complicated this time, so please be careful. First of all, I would like to tell you that because the most powerful guilds in this war have already allocated the ownership of large cities in advance, most of the ones that can be taken out that have not been auctioned are small and medium-sized cities and mining areas, of course, it does not mean that there are no large cities, but relatively few. There is another point that you need to pay attention to, because these guilds assigned to large cities actually sent people to the scene today, so don't think that those large cities will definitely be won by you, after all, the funds of large guilds are relatively generous, and fight with them! $ gold is not a wise move, so I hope that everyone will be a little more restrained when they start bidding later. ”

Hearing the auctioneer's words, there was a buzz at the scene, as if it had instantly turned into a vegetable market, but thinking about it, the large cities in our country were all picked up by those big guilds first, and the other guilds present were naturally not very satisfied. Although I don't dare to deal with the big guilds openly, it's always okay to complain.

"Alright, please be quiet." It is estimated that the people below have complained about it, and the auctioneer began to maintain order on the spot. "I know you're upset, but don't be blushing. Those big guilds did get the most oily big cities, but don't forget that the people who are charging into battle are all people from other people, and you can buy a city or a mining area just by paying a little money here, which has saved a lot of things compared to other people. Although on the surface it seems that the money you spend to buy a city is similar to the money spent by people to attack the city, you must know that there is a lot of invisible consumption in the process of attacking the city, so the benefits of others are not in vain, and they are all hard work. ”

After listening to the words of this auctioneer, the people below finally balanced a little. In fact, their imbalance is only due to jealousy, which is actually the same thing as the hatred of the rich among the common people. It's just that the presidents of these small and medium-sized guilds hate large guilds, but they don't know that those solo players who haven't joined any guilds also hate them, and everyone is actually the same in this regard.

Seeing that the reaction was a little better, the auctioneer began to say again: "Okay, I have told you about the things that need to be paid attention to, and now I will start to talk about the specific auction rules." This auction is conducted in the form of cities and mining areas, which means that we will sell one mining area at a time, and it can be said that we will bid for each city and mining area separately, which is no different from the general auction rules. But ......" the auctioneer suddenly accentuated his tone and dragged out a long note. "But you must be aware that the city we sold will not necessarily be occupied in the end, if the city is not finally defeated after the battle, then you will not be able to get the city, and the Xijiao Gold will not be returned to you. However, it is important to note that the cities that are really at risk are those that go deep into China's hinterland, not those on the border. Cities on the border are usually close to military fortresses, and the defense of such cities is usually very high, so the damage after the fall will definitely be more severe, and due to the influence of innate factors, such cities are usually not very profitable. However, because of its proximity to our borders, such cities will definitely be occupied at the first opportunity, and they will almost certainly be controlled by us after the battle, so if you want to buy such a city, you will hardly have to take any risks. On the other hand, cities that go deep into the hinterland of China are far from the border, so the probability of not being able to conquer them in the end is increased exponentially, but such cities located in the hinterland are usually more commercialized cities. Although the defense degree of this kind of city is not low, it is definitely much more oil and water than border cities. Of course, the two types of cities I'm talking about are actually two extremes: "More neutral cities in between, their characteristics will vary depending on how close to the border, and you can decide how much to buy these cities based on your predictions of the war." I'll just make one last comment here, and that's that while you discover the huge profits that come with a city, don't forget the huge risks that come with it. ”

After the auctioneer said this, the presidents present all began to think, and some of them discussed it with their companions, but the process was very short, and it was obvious that they had done their homework before coming, and now they were just clarifying their previous judgments.

After everyone at the scene finished discussing, the auctioneer lifted a piece of cloth from the table in front of him, revealing a crystal globe underneath. "Alright guys, let's start the auction. First of all, please look at the map. As he spoke, he pressed his hand on the crystal globe, which immediately projected a huge globe above the venue, and then with the flipping of the auctioneer's fingers, the huge globe pattern began to rotate with the rotation of the globe below. After a few clicks, the auctioneer shifted the globe to the location of China and enlarged the part of the border between China and Russia. I feel that this thing is very similar to the holographic projection crystal of the god of war, but the effect is much simplified, but its size is also relatively smaller.

"Okay guys, the city you see now is the first city we auctioned, it is located in the ×××, ×××, and ××× locations, the name is Huangshui City, the defense degree is 6831Z, the city development degree is 22lqO, and the other details can be checked on the crystal ball in front of your seat. The reserve price of the city is 1 million crystal coins, and each increase must not be less than 100,000 crystal coins, and interested parties can start bidding. ”

As the detainer's voice fell, a row of numbers and a name suddenly popped up on a crystal screen in front of the auction table in the center of the venue, and under the auctioneer's explanation, everyone knew that the two rows of information were the name of the guild and the amount of the bid, of course, only the name and amount of the current highest bidder were displayed. As everyone understood what the information content represented, the screen was never stable, because the screen always showed the highest bid first and then updated the name, and the price kept changing, so that the people present couldn't see who was bidding at all, and saw that the number kept flipping up. In just a dozen seconds, the price soared all the way to as many as 23 million crystal coins, and it continued to jump up, but the speed was a little slower than at the beginning.

After jumping for nearly a minute, the price finally stabilized, and the last thing that showed was that a guild called the Water Ghost Federation had purchased the city for 48 million crystal coins. After the auctioneer asked three times and no one raised the price, the city finally succeeded in converting to the guild. Then the auctioneers began to put some cities in our country on the map one after another, and the Russians present competed for the purchases, and the scene was unusually hot from beginning to end.

There are a lot of people who rob those cities with low risks, and some cities that go deep into our country are risky, but because there is a lot of oil and water, there are many people who take risks, and I feel that as long as the auctioneer dares to sell, someone dares to buy.

Because I knew that the Russians would definitely lose in the end if nothing happened this time, so I was completely taking this kind of panic buying behavior as a joke. After slowly pouring myself a drink, I drank it slowly, but I was halfway through the drink when I heard the auctioneer suddenly shout: "The next auction city is the highlight of this auction - Issinger." ”

"Poof......! Cough...... Cough...... cough ......" the auctioneer's words made him squirt out all the drinks he had just drunk in his mouth. These people are too pompous, aren't they? It's normal to sell border cities, after all, they think they will win this time, so it's understandable to sell border cities. As for the later sale of Chinese mainland cities, although this is a bit risky, it is not an absolutely impossible thing, at least if our guild does not respond effectively, they may still occupy one or two of our inland cities. It's just that now they are so ashamed that they even dare to put it up for auction, and it seems that Issinger has been captured by them, what is this?

Originally, I thought that no one would accept such an outrageous auction, but who knew that someone would really bid after the auctioneer shouted the reserve price of 100 million crystal coins, and the bidding number was brushed off by the new rate before it was displayed. "Damn, these guys are absolutely getting their heads clipped in the door panel!"

I just finished scolding here, and the number of JL on the screen over there jumped several times in succession, jumping from the reserve price of more than 100 million to 800 million crystal coins in an instant, and it seems that there is a trend of jumping up. Sure enough, as soon as my idea came to me, the number suddenly increased by one bit, to more than 1.1 billion. This time, not only me, but even the leaders of the small guilds around them began to call them crazy. But the idea of a madman is different from that of ordinary people, because just when others are scolding a madman, the price starts to jump up again, and it is an extremely abnormal jump. The price of 1.1 billion became 2.5 billion in the blink of an eye, and I couldn't help but scold this guy for definitely being a 25.

Scolding him for being two or five is certainly not because of Issinger's price. My Isinger, both in terms of construction cost and profit, is far more than 2.5 billion crystal coins. According to Rose's statistics, even if Ichengar's reconstruction process is subsidized by funds or materials from Heavenly Court and other Protoss forces, our guild still invests nearly five billion crystal coins into it, if the things sent by Heavenly Court and other Protoss forces are converted into expenses, the actual cost of Isenger should be between 60 billion and 80 billion crystal coins, if anyone can exchange 2.5 billion crystal coins for such a city, then he is definitely not stupid at all. The reason why I say this guy is Twenty-Five is because he really believes that the Russians can knock Esinger down this time.

Although "Zero" is a financial bomb, its essence is a black hole that constantly absorbs funds, but in "Zero", the city that costs more than 10 billion crystal coins is only one such city. According to the conversion formula of "Zero", where the capital is about equal to the strength, the defensive ability of a city worth 60 billion to 80 billion will definitely exceed the attack power of this cost after being converted into NPCs, that is to say, if Isenger is worth 60 billion, then you use 60 billion to buy NPC troops, as long as there are no accidents, these troops will definitely not be able to defeat the city of Isengard. But the question is, how many NPC troops can 60 billion buy? Based on the most cost-effective Heavenly Court Heavenly Soldier Heavenly Future. Among them, there is a limited edition god general, which sells for 100,000 crystal coins each, with a level of 2,000, and its combat power is only a little lower than mine. If you exchange all of them for 600 ↑ B, you will be able to exchange huàn for 600,000. What is the concept of 600,000 level 2,000 NPCs? Generally, the top BosS in the large monster area is almost at this level. That's a big BoSs that can take on a group of players single-handedly, and with a little miscellaneous soldiers, you can easily wipe out a small guild. 600,000 of these perverts gathered together can slaughter the invading forces of Russia back and forth for a dozen or so, and the Russians are still counting on their men to capture Isengard. If this can be realized, then there will be no zài fairy tales in this world, because fairy tales are much more reliable than this.

As the number continued to jump, the presidents of the Russian Jin Guild at the scene also became excited, they all wanted to see who the world's most famous No. 1 Xiongcheng was going to be, although it was actually an impossible thing, but no one on the scene seemed to care about it.

After the price jumped continuously for almost a minute, it finally began to slow down, and soon a more prominent name jumped out. "The clever Polar Bear Guild is now bidding for three billion crystal coins, has anyone else come up with more? If not, the world's largest city, Isenghe, would have belonged to the clever polar bear. The auctioneer screamed sensationally, but there was no one to bid for it, and it was obvious that the number was scary enough. After all, although Issinger is worth more than 60 billion, our guild is actually only less than 5 billion. Besides, our 5 billion yuan was not a one-time investment, but it took nearly a year to slowly increase to so much. What's more, our guild itself belongs to the wealthy type, and it is relatively rich. It's scary enough for this smart polar bear to come up with thirty-eight billion at once.

After making sure that no one was bidding, the auctioneer finally sold Issinger to the clever polar bear. The guild presidents applauded the clever polar bear, but I shook my head. This guild should not be called a smart polar bear at all, but a stupid dog bear, spend 3.8 billion to buy a city that will never be captured, and they will do it.

Originally, I thought that after selling Isinger, those people should be more or less restrained, but who knew that the auctioneer seemed to be addicted, and actually started to sell other cities behind Isinger, and this time the competition became more intense. According to their posture, I am afraid that half of China will be gone in a while. I don't understand what these people think. Half of China, how big is that? The Russians did have a lot of invading troops, but they were scattered over such a large area of land, and only a few people could be divided into one square kilometer? They don't think three or five people can take a city, do they? Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, and I have seen it today.

I sat there with a sneer and watched the auction in front of me, but I didn't expect a person to suddenly walk in the aisle, and sit directly next to me without saying a word. At first, I thought it was the president's companion who I had changed the card to, but when I looked at it, I was stupid on the spot.
