Chapter 9 Auction (2)
In the end, the green sand stone stud earrings were bought by Box 4 for 18 million Edith coins.
But this stud earring is just a warm-up. Soon a second lot appeared on the display – a painting??! This is a portrait, the picture shows a noblewoman, as soon as the portrait came out, there was a commotion, but Xiao Ai was confused.
"Everyone, the second lot must have been seen by everyone, it is a portrait of the Duchess of Hanes, and the auction reserve price is 600,000."
Hanes again? However, Duchess of Hanes Xiao Ai knows, she lived about five hundred years ago, the average life expectancy of humans in the interstellar age is about one hundred and fifty years old, Duchess Hanes is the cousin of the great-grandfather of the current emperor, and she is also from the imperial royal family, but at that time the Federation has not yet been established, Hanes Star is still within the scope of the empire, Hanes Star is the domain of the old duchess of Hanes's father, because the old duke has only one daughter, this daughter inherited her father's dukedom. By the way, this duchess is also called Casey. The Duchess was a valiant intergalactic admiral and the pioneer of the Third Fleet.
The duchess had no descendants, and all her property was recovered by the royal family after her death. However, it is rumored that a number of important items in her property have disappeared and were taken away by her last mistress, but it is also rumored that this person is not a mistress, but the husband of the duchess's secret marriage. However, the above rumors are all wild history, and the royal family and the interstellar official history have never admitted it.
Are the studs just now belonging to the Duchess of Hanes? Xiao Ai guessed. She suspected that the painting, ostensibly a portrait, was actually a treasure map, otherwise the reserve price would not have been so high and the bidding would have been so fierce.
In the end, the painting was taken away by the guests of box 4, and it cost 25 million, which means that box 4 spent 43 million to buy a pair of earrings and a painting this night, and Xiao Ai once again felt that he was a dirt bun.
Soon a third lot was delivered, which was a high-speed laser energy gun. In fact, by the third lot, Xiao Ai had already realized that the auction here specializes in auctioning contraband, to be precise, extremely precious or expensive contraband.
The high-speed laser energy gun was invented by the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and it caused an uproar when it was released. This is a weapon that uses energy crystals as a source of energy, and one of the uproars is that this is the first actual combat product so far to successfully convert the energy in the energy crystal into kinetic energy, and its groundbreaking significance is self-evident, and some people even say that the interstellar will enter a new era. The second of the uproar is that the lethality of this weapon is huge, and it can directly blast the second-class and below ships or warships out of a hole, since then the two countries have invested heavily in expanding the construction of first-class ships and warships, and many public organizations in the interstellar have criticized the research and development of this large-scale weapons of mass destruction as inhumane and unreasonable, for which the Academy of Sciences has also been under great pressure, in order to calm down the criticism, Professor Guzman, the president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, announced his resignation and retirement, and the high-speed energy gun is also strictly prohibited from being sold in the market. However, fortunately, the high-speed energy gun will directly consume energy crystals, so most people can't afford to use it even if they have an energy gun, which limits its lethal influence to a certain extent.
The high-speed energy gun was quickly sold off by the people in Box 6 at this black market auction.
The fourth lot is a bag of seeds, "Seeds of the polar black banana, the starting price is 2.3 million, especially to note, this plant is difficult to feed." ”
The polar banana is not a banana is a banana, but a banana of a plantain, the polar banana grows like a tall banana, the whole body is black and translucent like a crystal, and the plantain is the opposite of a plant associated with summer, the polar banana is a plant that grows in the cold zone, and was first discovered by explorers in the icy and snowy polar regions, so it is also called the polar banana.
The reason why the polar banana is banned and can only appear in black market auctions is that the aroma it emits at all times will make people weak and powerless, and at the same time make people hallucinate, even fighters whose mental power has reached the 4S level are not immune, it is said that unless you wear an isolation suit and isolate any connection between the isolation suit and the outside world, that is, in addition to the oxygen you breathe in the isolation suit, even the exhaled carbon dioxide cannot be discharged, otherwise it will still be polluted by the aroma of the banana.
Due to the properties of the Polar Ink Banana, it is the main ingredient for the production of the banned drug Patosri, which is equivalent to a drug on Earth, which can make people have fun by hallucinating, and of course, can also kill people by increasing the dose.
However, it is difficult to say whether any object, especially in nature, is good or bad, and the Medical Department of Imperial University has found that by changing the dosage of polar ink banana, it can be made into a drug for the treatment of mental damage, but this kind of medicine is still being further studied.
Polar Mojiao was finally photographed away by the people in Box 9, Xiao Ai found that although people sitting in the public area can also hold up signs, they are basically supporting roles, and in the end they were all photographed by the people in the box, and the people in Box 4 never raised their cards again after taking pictures of the earrings and the portrait of Duchess Hanes.
The fifth and final lot is coming out, and according to the pattern of the previous four lots, this finale lot should be the most expensive.
Belch... Xiao Aidu's jaw dropped in shock, because the last lot turned out to be a human, a young and clean human in a cage.
He looked like a teenager, shirtless, his eyes were calm, and he didn't see any mood swings at all, and he just looked quietly ahead, as if the auction didn't exist.
This... Is this an auction slave?
"A hybrid of Stowe people and humans, with a starting price of 26 million."
No wonder, Xiao Ai sighed silently. The Stovets are not human, and there is a suspicion that they come from another dimension. Xiao Ai doesn't know much about the knowledge of the Stoon people, but she has seen it in the gossip column of the star network, saying that the blood of the descendants of the Stoon and human mixtures can be made into a secret medicine that can be made to increase the level of spiritual power, if it is operated properly, maybe a person with 4S spiritual power can break through the limit of human beings and improve to 5S.
At that time, Xiao Ai only regarded it as baseless gossip and didn't believe it at all.
Surprisingly, however, the highly-anticipated finale was not sold off, and the hybrid was not auctioned.
