Chapter 182: Tang's Auction House
Liu Xiang and Cai Lincheng followed Lei Xiaoyu and came to a huge building, although the height was similar to the surrounding buildings, but the area was really not small.
The plaque hanging on the building's gate simply reads Auction House 17.
The hall of the auction house was brightly lit, and there were many people coming in and out.
Lei Xiaoyu led the two of them into the front desk.
"Has the general auction begun?" Lei Xiaoyu stepped forward and asked.
"Ten minutes to go." The front desk staff replied with a smile on their face.
"Is there a box left?"
"Yes."
"Open me a box." Lei Xiaoyu nodded and handed out the spirit card.
"Okay, wait a minute."
The staff took the spirit card, and after swiping the card, a special waiter led the three people to the second floor.
"Sister Lei is domineering! I like to hang out with local tyrants. Liu Xiang said with a winkled eyebrow as he walked.
"You and I would like to invite you! The auction starts in 10 minutes, and the public seats are definitely sold out, so I don't want to go to the aisle to add a stool. Lei Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and replied.
"It's so hot! Do you have to add a temporary stool? Liu Xiang said with some surprise.
"What do you think? Tang's Auction House's comprehensive auction hall is famous, and it is full every time. ”
"Down? Are there any other auction houses in the city? ”
"There are a few, but the Tang family in the magic capital is the most famous in the field of auction houses, and there are branches in the 108 satellite cities in the security zone, and even in the foreign security zone, it is one of the best." Lei Xiaoyu explained softly.
"The Tang family in the demon capital? Sound familiar? Liu Xiang said with some doubts.
"Of course you're familiar with it, didn't you knock the eldest lady of the Tang clan out of the ring in the martial arts competition?" Cai Lincheng said with a smile beside him.
"You mean Tang Xiaowan?" Liu Xiang said with some uncertainty, he was knocked out of the ring, and his surname is Tang, there is only Tang Xiaowan in the demon capital, I didn't expect it to be this Tang family, but I heard others talk about it at the time, the Tang family is a gangster, I didn't expect to be able to open such a big industry outside the plane, and the police uncle didn't care?
However, the waiter led the way in front, and Liu Xiang was embarrassed to ask on the spot.
"Yes, that's her." Cai Lincheng nodded and said.
While speaking, the staff had already led the three of them into a private room, which was beautifully decorated, one of the walls was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, through which a brightly lit hall came into view.
Liu Xiang looked out of the window, in the auction hall of three or four hundred square meters, it was crowded with people, the box they were in was on the second floor, and there were many floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor opposite the hall, but they couldn't see the inside.
I think the window is a one-way mirror, so you can see the outside, but you can't see the inside from the outside.
The staff saluted and exited the room.
Several leather sofas are placed in the room facing the hall, and a few plates of delicate snacks and dried fruits are placed on the coffee table in front of the sofas.
Liu Xiang sat on a sofa, reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and said while eating: "I heard that the Tang family is a gangster, and no one cares about such a big industry?" ”
"Where did you hear that? How many years ago was the old yellow calendar? Lei Xiaoyu also grabbed a handful of dried fruits and asked speechlessly.
"As far as I heard others talk about the martial arts competition, I was still wondering at the time, the country is so strong in fighting crime and eliminating evil, even high school students know the background of the Tang family, how can the country let it go?"
"You believe the grapevine!" Lei Xiaoyu swallowed the dried fruit in his mouth, and said with a smile: "However, the Tang family did have a black history before, in the chaotic era after the invasion of the plane, the Tang family was really the winner in the demon capital, until the old lady of the Tang family rose up and whitewashed the entire Tang family, and when she counterattacked the high plane, she took all the martial arts of the Tang family to follow Lord Wei to attack the high plane, and finally paid the price of most of the Tang family's death in the high plane, and the old lady cultivated the price of falling back from a senior martial artist to a martial artist, in exchange for the country's failure to investigate the remaining problems. Tang finally walked into the front desk openly. ”
"I see." Liu Xiang nodded, sighing.
"What does this comprehensive auction hall mean? And the auction hall that is not comprehensive?"
"The comprehensive auction is to shoot everything, but the comprehensive auction of the Tang family is all high-quality products, and ordinary things cannot enter the eyes of the Tang family, and other auctions are not called non-comprehensive auctions, but auction sessions, such as weapons auctions, soul meat auctions, and so on." Lei Xiaoyu explained helplessly.
"Wait a minute." Liu Xiang asked with some confusion: "Spirit meat auction?" Isn't the price of the spirit meat already clearly marked? ”
"The price is clearly marked for the spirit meat below the C grade, do you think the spirit meat above the B grade is very long? That's a martial arts monster, you can't hunt much in a year, how can you clearly mark the price, and the person who can kill a B-level monster has a strength that is at least the martial arts level, and he has a demand for B-level or above spiritual meat, and only if he can't eat it before the quality of the spiritual meat is reduced, he will sell it, so the preciousness can be imagined. ”
"Uh. I really hadn't thought about it. Liu Xiang had a teachable expression, and wanted to ask some questions, but was interrupted by a sudden voice.
"I am Liang Sen, senior auctioneer of Tang's Auction House, thank you for choosing our Tang's Auction House, no further ado, the comprehensive auction will start now, first of all, please ask us for the first lot tonight." An infectious, clear voice emanated from a loudspeaker in the corner of the room.
Liu Xiang's eyes suddenly attracted the high platform in front of the hall outside the window, and a middle-aged man stood on the stage and enthusiastically introduced.
"This is a C-level long sword that the famous craftsman Li Yuanfang spent a year casting, and the sword name is Qingfeng. It is characterized by extremely light weight, only less than 100 catties in weight, but the sharpness and solidity are not reduced, and the spiritual energy transmission degree is as high as 33%, that is, it can increase the power of spiritual energy by 33%. ”
"The starting price is 35 million, and each increase shall not be less than 100,000."
"It's still the old rule, pay with the equivalent spirit spirit on the spot, or you can pay in cash on the earth, of course, there is an additional two percent handling fee for cash payment."
"35 million!" As soon as Liang Sen's words fell, someone raised a sign to bid.
"36 million!"
......
"Don't you say that the Tang Clan Comprehensive Auction is all high-quality auctions? Although the price is not low, a C-rank sword is not very rare! Is it because the sword has a name? Liu Xiang turned his head and asked suspiciously.
Lei Xiaoyu glanced at Liu Xiang, and replied with some disgust: "This is just the starting price, the transaction price is at least over 100 million, and you are very good at being a C-level weapon?" A C-grade long sword with a transmission degree of more than 20% is considered a fine product, and this sword has reached 33 percent, which is already a fine product among the best, and it is worthy of the work of the famous craftsman Li Yuanfang. ”
Liu Xiang pursed his lips and reached out to pick up the long knife that was placed aside, "This is also called a boutique?" My knife is also C-grade, worth 50,000 credits, and it is worth 1 billion when converted into money. ”
"50,000 credits!" Cai Lincheng thundered and Xiaoyu was startled at the same time.
"How can a C-grade long knife be so expensive! That's the price of the best B-rank weapons! Lei Xiaoyu looked at the long knife in Liu Xiang's hand and said in disbelief.
"That's right! I've never heard of such an expensive C-class weapon. Cai Lincheng was also surprised, and then asked with some suspicion: "You fooled us, right?" Even if this knife is worth 50,000 credits, how can you have so many credits to redeem it? ”
"What are you fooling you for? I just redeemed this morning, paid in installments, and Mr. Li Mengqiu made me the guarantor. Liu Xiang said with a smug face.
"What's the name of your knife? It is impossible for a weapon of such high value to be without a name. Lei Xiaoyu asked suddenly.
"I don't know! No one told me when I exchanged it in the morning. ”
"If you look at the carving on the sword, when the foundry creates a proud work, it will leave an inconspicuous mark or noun on the weapon."
When Liu Xiang heard this, he put the long knife horizontally in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully, and there was no mark on both sides of the blade.
"Nope."
"How so? It is impossible for the school to deceive people, and a long knife of such value must be made by a famous craftsman, and it is impossible not to leave a mark. Lei Xiaoyu said with a frown.
"Is it because it's unfinished? This knife is actually a blank of an A-grade knife. Liu Xiang looked at the blade of the knife again and said uncertainly.
"Class A cutlets? No wonder it's so expensive! You must know that the worst A-class weapons are also worth more than 10 billion, and there are no more than 100 pieces in the world. But even if it's just a blank, since it's reached the C level, it stands to reason that the foundry will leave a name! Let me see. Lei Xiaoyu stretched out his hand and said.
Liu Xiang smiled gloomily, stretched out his hand and handed the knife to Lei Xiaoyu.
Seeing that Lei Xiaoyu grabbed the handle of the knife, Liu Xiang let go with a wicked smile, Lei Xiaoyu only felt that his hand was heavy, and he was not prepared for a while, and the long knife fell out of his hand, almost flashing to his fingers.
"Hahaha! My knife is not easy for anyone to handle. Liu Xiang was prepared, reached out to catch the long knife, and laughed.
"It's heavy! I'm afraid this knife weighs two or three thousand pounds. Lei Xiaoyu moved his fingers, ignored Liu Xiang's evil smile, and stretched out his two hands to take the long knife.
This time with preparation, although Lei Xiaoyu was a little struggling, he still picked up the long knife.
Lei Xiaoyu was very experienced, looked up and down the blade of the knife, and sure enough, there was no mark, then looked at the handle of the knife, and finally found two small characters on the lower edge of the handle.
"Marking." Lei Xiaoyu looked at the characters excitedly, and then said with some doubts: "This seems to be an ancient text, I don't know it." ”
Liu Xiang and Cai Lincheng also came over, and Cai Lincheng spread his hands and said that he didn't know either.
"Zangfeng!" Liu Xiang muttered.
"You know?" Cai Lincheng said with some surprise.
Liu Xiang nodded and explained: "This is the ancient text small seal, Zang Feng. ”
Liu Xiang's daughter-in-law was from the Department of History in her last life, and she had some research on ancient characters, and Liu Xiang also knew some of it.
"Zangfeng! Hiding the edge, it can be regarded as the right situation, this knife is the blank of the A-level knife, isn't it that the edge is hidden! Liu Xiang said with a smile.
Liu Xiang stretched out his hand to take back the long knife, and laughed at the long knife: "In the future, you won't be called the long knife, your name is Zangfeng!" When you have a chance to upgrade to A-level in the future, I will change your name to Bi Lu! Sharp and sharp! ”
Hearing Liu Xiang's words, the corners of Cai Lincheng's Lei Xiaoyu's eyes couldn't help jumping a few times at the same time, what is the name of this?
