157. Two idiots
The shouting below continues! Bidding is still fierce.
"Okay, 2.7 million! Is there anything higher? β
2.7 million once! Twice, three times......
"Smack!"
The sound of a gavel slamming.
"Congratulations to this gentleman for 2.7 million!"
The next lot was all sorts of thingsβeven a collection of a deceased family, and a huge ruby from my grandmother's dowry.
Money is really the best thing to use here, and in the materialistic hall, there are constant voices one after another. Apparently there are only illiterate people here, and there is nothing that cannot be sold.
After nearly two hours of auction, almost all the lots launched were auctioned, and the competition was fierce, which also made the organizers make a lot of money.
But the heavy finale item hasn't been taken out yet.
The rock man waited a little impatiently, and before he could wait for what he was about to sell, he suddenly turned his head towards the maid named Shiyun.
"I'm going to add one of my own lots for the time being, and you go and have my two minions bring a battery."
Shiyun's eyes widened beautifully: "You mean to add a temporary lot?" β¦β¦ This may be a bit troublesome, these things have to go through the filing procedures before, huh...... Well, I'll ask the organizer first, and I'll be back to you as soon as I get a reply. β
"Yes, how long will it take for this auction to end?"
"Well, it's almost halftime, and there's the second half."
With that, she turned and went out.
β¦β¦
Fit and Barton were in the market and were given a decent position.
They quickly put the batteries on display and put up a small sign that read "High Energy Biopolymer Battery β Nata".
Many merchants stopped to watch, and soon in front of their stalls, many people gathered.
"Wow, listen to you, that's pretty good! How can such a small thing drive a vehicle? And it can be used for more than ten years...... How much are you going to sell? β
"10 million."
"What? Are you crazy! A small battery is so expensive, the ghost will buy it! β
"It's crazy to think about money, no matter how good this thing is, it's not worth the price!"
"Two idiots! You won't be able to sell it for the rest of your life. β
There was a lot of talk around the people.
The inquiring man shook his head with a sneer, and soon the crowd dispersed.
Fitt and the others had known that this would be the result, so they didn't bother to explain anything, but instead directly marked the price on it.
In this way, the two of them stayed in the market for 2 hours, and they saw a lot of people and asked a lot, but they didn't sell a single one. According to their estimates, it may be difficult for them to receive a penny until the end of the entire black market......
"Hey, I'll just say, the price is set high, and no one will buy it!"
Barton shook his head and sighed, this thing is technologically advanced and has huge energy, far beyond the cognition of this era. He even doubted that even the technology of the previous civilization could not make such a thing.
He remembered a warning from the Common Era: People who wander in the dark, if you bring them candles, they will open their doors and greet you with joy; If you bring torches, they will be ecstatic and lift you high; If you bring them the sun, they will panic and run away in all directions......
This warning is obviously what Barton is in now.
It's a pity that they brought the sun, but no one knew it, and no one could measure its value.
They are silent...... Suddenly, Fett saw a man walking towards them.
The man was draped in bell-shaped robes, wore a black hood, and his entire face was obscured by a mechanical mask.
I saw the strange man slowly approach their booth, glanced at the sign with the price written on it, and then leaned over to pick up the battery and look at it carefully.
Fit and Barton didn't bother to speak, and the questions were basically focused on the price, and then they turned around and walked away, there was no possibility of an actual deal.
Sure enough, the strangely dressed man looked at it for a long time, didn't ask a word, and finally put the battery down.
But Fit's eyes were sharp, and when the man turned to leave, he seemed to see a faint blue glow on the fingers of the man who had touched the battery.
He rubbed his eyes and glanced at the battery that had been touched, and there was nothing unusual and intact.
"Hey, old man, did you see that guy just now?"
"I saw it, and I was the one who looked and left, and I didn't even ask, and it was nothing, anyway, they didn't buy ......it."
"No, I just saw him ...... on his hands"
"Well, he's on his hands? What's wrong, what's there? β
"Forget it, maybe I'm dazzled, just now I seem to see a little blue light on his hand......"
"Blue light? That's not unusual, is it? Look over there, that guy has a mechanical arm, huh! Flashing red, it must have been equipped with some kind of sensing electronic eye or something. β
"Okay, this is a mining city, not our small remote western place, don't be uncommon and weird, let's find a way to sell things......"
Just as the two of them were talking, a woman with a very good figure and appearance walked towards them, and she was followed by 2 strong men, it seemed that these 3 people were all staff members here.
"Hehe, that's right! You two are the servants of that dignitary, aren't you? β
"Huh? Who are you? Old Man Barton looked at her and asked puzzled.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Shiyun, I am the receptionist of the auction house, your master instructed me to take you to the auction house, he seems to say that he wants to bring a battery."
Shiyun bowed her head, with a professional smile on the corner of her mouth, and replied politely.
"Master? Oh, are you talking about the brunette youth? β
"Exactly, he is our guest of honor. Young Master Jay Lun specially instructed me to respond to his requests. β
"Well, I guess he has something important, Fett, you go with them with the battery, I'll be here to keep watch." Barton said as he handed Fett a battery.
A moment later, Shiyun led Fett to the auction site. It was the middle of the auction, and she had to discuss the additional auction with the auction manager.
Celestira couldn't help but frown when she heard Shiyun's request.
She was indeed a little worried about such a lot of unknown origin, if this kind of thing did not live up to its name, it would smash the golden sign of the auction.
"So what's the selling point of this thing? Is there any information you can refer to? What if it doesn't live up to its name, or isn't worth the price at all? You can't joke with our reputation......"
Although Destella knew that the VIP entrusted by the auction was not small-he was a friend of this wealthy nobleman, Young Master Jay.
But in the absence of any product introduction, it is obviously not in accordance with the rules and it is also a big risk to take it out for auction!
"So, what is the guaranteed price he wants?" Destella asked.
"10 million ......" Fit hurriedly reported the number, and his voice was very small - obviously very unconfident.
"Shhhh
Destella gasped and glanced at the dusty boy.
"Who are you?"
"Oh, this young man is the servant of the honored guest." Shiyun replied.
"Huh? Is there a servant so young? By the way, the price you just said seems to be ......."
Just as she was hesitating, the door of the storage room at the back suddenly opened, and a richly dressed aristocratic young man walked in.
