Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Influence of the Traveler (Part II)

After the auction of the large items of 9,900 gold coins, the prices of the next few items quickly fell back to below 5,000.

The merchants of Molai are obviously well-informed, and they do not mean that "people are stupid and have a lot of money", they may be willing to spend a little more money to buy fine goods, but the fluctuation is not large, and it is rare to see people fighting each other to raise prices. The two billionaires who often saw on the Internet before the panda crossed over and raised their prices for the sake of face have not happened so far.

Towards ten o'clock, the auctioneer announced the last item of the second round of auctions.

"Biological soft armor, which can be worn under any armor or clothing, is extremely impact-resistant, can effectively resist blunt blows, and can also resist puncture and cutting attacks well with metal wire inner armor. "The biggest advantage is the magic defense, when you are attacked by magic, you can absorb 100% of the power of the attack until the armor is broken." ”

When these words came out, the audience immediately boiled, and even exclamations came from the second floor.

"End...... How is it possible?!!"

"Why is such a thing in the second round of auctions? at least in the third round of finale!"

"Nonsense! This kind of thing shouldn't be sold at all, and it has been divided by the big guys in private!"

The auctioneer didn't speak, and after the customers had discussed for a while, he raised his hand to make a quiet gesture, and then waited for everyone to be a little quieter, and introduced it in detail for the first time.

"This living armor comes from an alchemist who did not want to be named. Based on the slime, he developed this wonderful armor. It has been tested in real combat on the Norma Line and its performance is absolutely reliable. But it also has a disadvantage, that is, the comfort is extremely poor - according to the actual use experiment of our chamber of commerce personnel, it is found that it feels like it is coated with adhesive all over the body, which is very uncomfortable. Unless it is a race such as fish-people and lizardmen, whose bodies are covered in scales and have relatively dull feelings, it is difficult for ordinary people to wear them for a long time. If it weren't for this reason, it would not have been put up for auction. ”

His gaze swept across the hall and said in a deep voice, "In this way, if anyone is interested, they can try it on stage in person, and they will understand." ”

Soon, an adventurous old merchant came to the stage, and the waiter picked up the "living armor" in the shape of a slime and placed it on his hands, and then he saw that the armor quickly stretched out several tentacles, and spread towards his body.

The old merchant let out a shrill cry, almost like a rooster being chased by a chef.

With the wearing of the "living armor", his screams became more and more tragic, so that many people couldn't help but cover their ears. And when this "armor" was finally put on, he gasped violently and whispered, "I...... I'm dizzy......"

"There's no way, the living armor will affect the breathing of the skin, and if you don't have strong enough heart and lungs, you will inevitably get dizzy after a long time. The auctioneer said with a blank face, "You just yelled and consumed too much energy. ”

The old merchant sighed and shook his head: "I can't use this thing, I'm sure most people can't use it......!" I don't know what to say, but it's really not going to work, it's not going to work! Not at all!"

The auctioneer asked the waiter to use magic props to control the "living armor" to restore its original state, and then the waiter helped the old merchant to get off the stage and rest. He swept his gaze over the audience: "The biological armor with major defects in comfort has a base price of three thousand gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than five hundred gold coins. ”

There was silence in the audience, and after a while, a voice came from the second floor: "Three thousand five hundred gold coins." ”

This sentence seems to be a signal, the medium and large businessmen on the second floor have spoken, the price continues to rise, and the small and medium-sized businessmen on the ground floor are dumbfounded.

"Strange...... Isn't this armor uncomfortable, why do they want you to fight for it?" asked Jack, puzzled.

The panda smiled and said, "No matter how uncomfortable it is, if it can be used to save your life at a critical moment, it will be worth it." Besides, they don't necessarily have to wear it themselves, but they wear it for their own captain, wouldn't it be good? ”

The kind old businessman next to him also said, "That's right, those big businessmen are different from us, they all have bodyguards. Their bodyguards are very strong, and they can move freely in this armor - even if they are uncomfortable, as long as they are not uncomfortable, who cares?"

Jack suddenly realized, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really hard to be a bodyguard for big businessmen!"

"Of course, there's no good money in the world. ”

Panda said this, and contacted Aaron (Cold Wind) through a private chat: "You sold the kind of armor that you used to experiment on Yunera?"

"There is no way, people are poor and short-minded, and horses are thin and long-haired. I'm so poor that I have to rely on you to pay for protection, and I can't care about that much. ”

“...... How much did you sell?"

"I sold one. Three thousand gold coins, the cost is about a thousand, and the profit is not bad. ”

"I'm at the big auction in Port Molai, and it's being auctioned here, and it's now up to almost eight thousand gold coins. ”

"Damn!"

The cold wind who was doing the experiment widened, his hand shook, and the scalpel slashed, so that the unlucky test subject ended the pain early.

He sighed and threw the shapeless juvenile sandworm into the abandoned trough next to it, and the gray-red slime immediately pounced on it, quickly enveloping it completely and beginning to digest it slowly.

He himself stood by the abandoned trough, silent for a long time.

After a long moment, he shook his head, a smile on his indifferent face.

"If others can sell at a high price, they have the ability, what does it have to do with me? I have already made a high profit, there is no need to be greedy. Instead of wasting time tossing around these meaningless things, it is better to concentrate on research and research a better product as soon as possible. ”

He quickly regained his composure, took another baby sandworm from the magic cage on the side, fixed it to the operating table, and began a new round of experiments.

In the auction hall, bidding is still in full swing. The merchants on the second floor were quite interested in this armor, and you chased after me, refusing to give in to each other, and the price also climbed steadily, and soon exceeded the 10,000 gold coin mark.

Eventually, the appalling comfort of the armor was sold for 12,000 gold coins, and it was purchased by a large merchant on the second floor.

This price opened Jack's eyes and made Panda sigh, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "Who said that science is useless? Who said that building an atomic bomb is not as good as selling tea and eggs? Science and technology are the primary productive forces!"
