Chapter 45 Unspoken Rules of Auction

After listening to Lai Fu's explanation, Luo Tianhua finally had some understanding, but he still had some doubts, "That's not such a high price, isn't my bow worth so much money?

Hearing this, Lai Fu smiled slightly, and asked mysteriously, "Brother Tianhua, do you remember what the last auction item was?"

Luo Tianhua said a little inexplicably: "It's a magic forbidden ball, is there any problem?"

"Of course there is!" Refle, with a low chuckle, "that's an unspoken rule of the auction." The opening auction can only be a rare item of low value, which is only for the purpose of heating up the auction and attracting the minds of all buyers to the auction item. The second auction item is the real opening event, and the hot items that are second only to the finale auction must be selected to provoke the first wave of panic buying. Then put the auction item with the lowest actual value, based on the auction base price of the previous round, the buyers in this round will subconsciously raise the price in their hearts to a very high level, so the transaction price of this auction item will be more than three times higher than the actual price. Then put the item with a starting price about three times lower than its actual value, triggering the buyers' bargain mentality and attracting buyers to compete for bids. After provoking the enthusiasm of buyers, the second-lowest value item is put on the table, and based on the serious undervaluation of the previous lot, this round is sure to sell well. Then there's the third-highest-value item, then the third-lowest-value item, and so on, and then the most middle-value item is sold quickly at the end, and then the finale item is put on the table. Buyers will feel that the auction will be full of climaxes, and those who buy items will feel that they are worth the money, and those who can't buy will be ready for the next one, and the auction will also draw a lot of money, and everyone will get their own place. ”

Luo Tianhua heard the meaning of the invitation, and said with interest: "Is this the intention of the eldest brother to price my bow for 30 crystal coins? This will become the lowest-priced item at the auction, and then use the magic forbidden ball to raise the expected value of the bow, which has caused the current momentum of crazy robbery, right?"

"I'll just say brother, you're smart enough, just give you a hint, and you'll be able to see what's inside. Lai Fu did not refuse, and Dafang admitted it.

Luo Tianhua heard that the current price had reached 150 crystal coins, and he couldn't help but smile even brighter, and said sincerely: "Then I have to thank the eldest brother! If it weren't for you, this bow would not have sold for dozens of crystal coins, and it would have been sold for dozens of crystal coins.

Laifu obviously didn't expect Luo Tianhua to say this, not what will happen in the future, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and just said mechanically: "Okay, good, so good, good!"

Luo Tianhua smiled secretly and shook Laifu's hand, signaling that everything was in a word, and then turned to look at the stage, but just saw that Lifuya had just struck the third hammer, announcing that the final transaction price of the Eight Bull Heavy Bow was 180 crystal coins!

"That, Brother Tianhua, you have to be ready, our Fengwu Auction House generally takes a 20% share of the third auction item, so what you can get is 144 crystal coins. It took a while for Lai Fu to digest Luo Tianhua's family theory, and when he saw his ecstatic expression, he couldn't help but remind him loudly, "But it's really not low, I still have to say congratulations." ”

Luo Tianhua was obviously very satisfied with the number 144, and said indifferently: "It's a very high price, and I still rely on the help of my eldest brother!"

"Okay, okay," Lai Fu no longer deliberately invited credit at this time, "Didn't you say that you want to be a family member?

"The eldest brother taught me that the younger brother was taught. Luo Tianhua's playful expression was closed, and he said seriously, but he made Laifu speechless.

Next was a staff, the white body of which glowed with a hint of sea blue from time to time, as if it was breathing with life. "Sea Blue Staff, water-type magic monks, don't miss it, this is also a magic weapon! Comes with a fifth-level magic, summoned by the sea demon element. This is equivalent to a magic forbidden ball that can be used repeatedly, but the reserve price is only 700 crystals, which is simply unbearable! Okay, without further ado, now, the auction begins!"

Even Luo Tianhua, who was not a magic monk himself, was provoked by this great beauty to buy, not to mention those monks who had reached the level of a magic master, a magic monk wearing a purple cloak directly stood up and shouted for 1,000 crystal coins. The other one who is also dressed up shouts directly to 2000, the third shouts 3000, and the fourth shouts 5000......

Luo Tianhua finally understood what level the starting price of the items mentioned by Lai Fu was about three times lower than their actual value could raise the purchase desire of these buyers, and the magnitude of this increase was simply frenzied! This is only the auction items of a medium-sized auction, so what price can be used for the auction items of a large-scale auction to be listed? What kind of scene is a top-level auction? Luo Tianhua was a little shaken just thinking about it, but after all, he was still a very rational person, and he retracted his thoughts after a while, but saw that the sea blue staff had made a final decision at the price of 5500, which was only higher than the transaction price of the magic forbidden ball.

Then he released an assassin's bodysuit, which is said to greatly enhance the assassin's stealth ability, but unfortunately the usable level is a bit high, and the fighter level can only be used. As a result, only 200 crystals were sold, which is considered a pee spot.

Then there was a fine iron puppet, and Lifuya's explanation sounded again, "This auction item is a fourth-level fine iron melee puppet, a fighter-level strength, it has the ability to act without detailed control, and it can accept more than 30 commands." It can defend you against swords and swords in battle, or you can attack on your own. In life, you can take care of your daily life, and it is very comfortable to bring contemporary walking tools, and even receive instructions such as massages, but you need to have a strong physique first. The starting price is 500 crystals, and the bidding is now open!"

Hearing this price, Luo Tianhua remembered the twelve second-level puppets destroyed on the day of the entrance exam, "This Tutor Feather really paid for it! Pick up a puppet worth hundreds of crystal coins to test the new students, how does his brain hole grow? Hmph, I will destroy it all for him, I don't know what it will be like for you to feel distressed." He didn't know that Mentor Feather was not using the second-level puppet he imagined, but a serious third-level puppet, and there were two long-range magic puppets in the twelve, and the combined value was at least more than two thousand crystal coins, but what people spent was public expense, which was not something that Luo Tianhua could calculate.

"2000!" The first bid directly shocked the audience. The price of quadruple in an instant made everyone a little dumbfounded, and it really discouraged many people's desire to buy.

When Luo Tianhua heard this voice, his heart moved unconsciously, and it was a little familiar! Looking in the direction where the sound came from, Luo Tianhua saw a super familiar back of his head at a glance - gray hair......

Luo Tianhua couldn't help but lean back in the chair behind him and patted his forehead depressedly, "Sure enough, it's him! Could it be Cao Cao? Why can't you help but chatter?" He could see at a glance the identity of that person—the Mentor Feather who had just thought of him.

Tutor Feather couldn't see where Luo Tianhua was, after all, he was only sitting in the hall, and Luo Tianhua was sitting in the box with Leyford's light. However, this fourth-level puppet raised the price by 4 times in one breath, and he was undefeated in the east with a look on his face.

Sure enough, no one asked for a price after that, and the fourth-level puppet was directly pocketed by Mentor Feather. Luo Tianhua suddenly felt a chill in his back, and an ominous premonition came to his heart, and after looking around, he still focused on Mentor Feather, "Yamai, that puppet won't be prepared for me, right?"

What Luo Tianhua didn't know was that Mentor Feather was really as he expected, and was thinking about finding Luo Tianhua to open a small stove after he went back, "That stinky boy has been muttering all day long that he has the strength of a fighter, so wouldn't it be very incompetent for me as a mentor not to let him try the strength of a fighter-level attack? Originally, I wanted to find a trainee, but wouldn't they expose my secret weapon early? This fine iron puppet came just right." I won't despise that kid, and I won't let out the water perfunctory, it's really suitable!"

Ignoring the greasy relationship between the master and apprentice, the auction was still going on normally, and the bidding for the eighth auction item had already begun, and Lai Fu was also nervously watching, so he didn't notice Luo Tianhua's abnormality.

Luo Tianhua looked over and found that the eighth auction item was actually a gray crystal piece, and then he remembered that Lifuya seemed to have explained what kind of alchemy product exploration chip this was just now, and the effect seemed to be perspective or something, and at that time, his attention was focused on Mentor Feather, and he didn't pay attention at all. But seeing Laifu looking so nervous, Luo Tianhua knew that this was his target!

However, seeing that the asking price of this thing has steadily increased from 300 to 800, Luo Tianhua has no choice but to watch and can't help anything. But what he didn't expect was that when Lai Fu saw that the price stopped at 820 and didn't move, he unhurriedly pressed the price bell and called the price of 830 crystal coins.

Not to be outdone, the buyer who called 820 ordered 840 crystal coins. Lai Fu took another shot, and the man added another 10 crystals. Rifle continued to shoot, and the man only added another 10 crystals.

When Laifu wanted to shoot again, he was stopped by Luo Tianhua, "Big brother, if you want this exploration chip, just listen to your brother and call 1000 crystal coins directly." ”

Lai Fu looked at Luo Tianhua a little nervously, "But what if I call him again, he won't follow? Isn't that a waste of 110 crystal coins?"

Luo Tianhua couldn't help but smile, this eldest brother is really simple enough, "Let's put it this way, if he calls 990 crystal coins, do you still want to follow?"

"Of course, it's just a difference of 10 crystals, how can I let him win this chip so easily?" said Lai Fu with a stiff neck, rather forced.

"What if people think the same way?" What price are you going to call?" Luo Tianhua explained with some amusement, "If you think that 10 crystals is nothing, will people think it is too much? Aren't you from the auction house? You don't know this kind of psychological implication? Although the two of you are fighting for only 10 crystals, after a little bit of heightening, is it still only a matter of 10 crystals?" In this case, it is better to add more at a time, it is best to scare him, if he still increases the price of 10 crystals and 10 crystals, then there must be something greasy in this! If he is not the childcare found by the seller, he must be a very rich guy who is teasing you. That brother has to persuade you not to continue, this is likely to be a bottomless pit, and your net worth will definitely not be able to fill it. ”

Lai Fu looked at Luo Tianhua's eyes in disbelief, and after Lifuya knocked the hammer twice, he gritted his teeth and shouted directly: "1000 crystal coins!" After shouting, he turned his head and looked at Luo Tianhua again and whispered: "Your brain is much brighter than my brother, my brother will believe you this time!"

There was no sound for a long time, and Laifu thought that he was stable, so he excitedly grabbed Luo Tianhua's hand and said: "Sure enough, it's like what you said, brother, ......" Before the words were finished, a cry of "1010 crystal coins!" sounded again.

Luo Tianhua heard the calmness in his voice, and asked Lai Fu with some solemnity: "Big brother, what is your bottom line?"

Laifu said with a sad face: "Your eldest brother's net worth is only 1400 crystal coins......" Luo Tianhua didn't wait for him to finish, and shouted directly: "1500!"

A short time later, a yellow-robed waiter entered the private room, and he came to check the number.

As soon as Lai Fu wanted to explain, he heard Luo Tianhua say that he had sold the Eight Bull Heavy Bow, and the 1400 credit value in Lai Fu's pass was enough to pay 1500 crystal coins. The yellow-robed waiter was unmoved, still checking the passes and seller vouchers of the two of them, and then bowed down and exited the private room.

Before Laifu complained to Luo Tianhua, the shouting of 1510 crystal coins sounded in the hall again. Luo Tianhua also sighed at this time, wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and said with a smile: "This guy is really fooled!"

Under Laifu's questioning for unknown reasons, Luo Tianhua said his thoughts: "At that time, when you and that guy asked for a higher price by yourself, I felt that something was wrong, this guy didn't seem to want to end the bidding immediately, and only added 10 crystals each time." It's not like other buyers, who can't wait to bid a price that makes others unable to accept it, but just unhurriedly provokes your sensitive nerves and teases you to call him all the way, which is already very doubtful. In addition, you have already shouted 1000 crystals, and he only calmly added 10 crystals, which is obviously teasing you! So I directly added to the highest price we could put to try him, and sure enough, this guy still wanted to tease your anger, and only added 10 crystals. Based on this evidence, I can be sure that he is a nursery! He thinks you are already angry, so he still wants to copy your bottom, so let this insatiable guy buy his own exploration chip for 1510 crystals!"
