Chapter 9 Auctions
Chapter IX Auctions
"Welcome to our Handan Auction House, and on behalf of Handan Auction House, I would like to thank all of you for coming. ”
After the applause, the host continued: "Without further ado, let's start the auction that everyone is looking forward to today." ”
A small round table rises from the center of the stage. A beautiful cuirass came into everyone's eye.
"First of all, the first auction item of today is a treasure, this cuirass is made of the scales of the beast Iron Scale Pangolin, the iron scale pangolin is known to everyone, and it is difficult for ordinary swords to pierce its skin. ”
Nangong Ze's voice sounded on the side: "The iron-scaled pangolin is an animal, known for its hard skin, and many of its whole body can be used as medicinal herbs, especially its iron-like scales, which are often used as a material for making armor. ”
Yang Cheng nodded, and then listened to the host say: "There are two formations carved on this breastplate, which are from the hands of Sheng Jun, a famous carving array master in Handan City, one is up to the fifth level blue light brocade array, and the other is the second level blue light brocade array. ”
As soon as they heard the carving array master, Yang Cheng and Nangong Ze pricked up their ears.
Yang Cheng thought to himself: Sheng Jun, isn't that the old man who conducted the Carving Array Master level test this morning?
"The former's formation is to reduce the weight of this cuirass, which originally weighed six catties under the effect of the formation, weighs only half a catty, while the latter's formation strengthens the connection between the scales, and also improves the hardness of this cuirass. Wearing it on the body can defend against attacks, sometimes even save people's lives, and most importantly, such a highly defensive cuirass wears the weight of two more clothes on the body, and has no effect on the action. I believe everyone is also interested in such a treasure. The starting price is 1,000 gold coins. Each increase is five hundred. ”
A thousand gold coins? Yang Cheng smacked his tongue, not to mention that he is poor now, and he can only send people under the fence, and he has no idea about this cuirass at all. What's more, he is also a carving array master. I believe that in the future, I may also have the ability to carve such a formation.
Nangong Ze was originally very interested, but after thinking about it carefully, iron-scaled pangolins are not rare, one iron-scaled pangolin can make three or four breastplates, and the price of each breastplate is about two hundred gold coins. The reason why this cuirass can be sold for a thousand gold coins is mainly because of those two formations, and those two formations only play an auxiliary role in this cuirass. Although the Nangong family also has a lot of power in Handan City, these three thousand gold coins are not worth it to Nangong Ze.
One thousand gold coins is too high for an ordinary family, and no one shouts for ordinary seats for a while.
"A thousand gold coins. A man sitting in a corner box said.
"One thousand fifteen. "The box on the other side has raised the price.
"Two thousand gold coins. Two seconds later, five hundred gold coins were still added to the corner box.
"Okay, now the price is 2,000 gold coins, is there anyone who wants to increase the price? 2,000 gold coins once, 2,000 gold coins twice, 2,000 gold coins three times, deal!"
"The people in that corner box are from a military family, and they should be very interested in this kind of cuirass that can protect their lives. Nangong Ze's voice rang out.
The hostess carefully wrapped the breastplate she had sold, and the small round table slowly lowered.
The host's voice sounded: "If the price of the first item is a bit high today, then the price of the next item, that is, the second item, is acceptable to many people." ”
The small round table rose again, and the host gently tore off the black cloth covering it, and a blue-purple robe appeared in the eyes of everyone.
"The robe is beautifully made of fine satin and weaving, interspersed with silk and gold threads. Wearing this robe, a sense of dignity arises spontaneously. It is a rare and beautiful dress. Prices start at twenty gold coins, with each increase in hardware coins. The auction begins!"
"Twenty gold coins. ”
"Twenty-five gold coins. ”
"Thirty. ”
"Thirty-five. ”
"Forty Gold Coins"
An endless stream of voices came, and Nangong Ze looked at them with a smile.
The price stopped at seventy-five gold coins, a piece of clothing, although it was more gorgeous, but it was only a dress, and it had no other practical effect except to keep warm.
For this dress, Nangong Ze likes it very much, people in the big family have requirements for their appearance and clothing, and this dress can meet Nangong Ze's needs very well. I pressed the sound button and opened my mouth lightly:
"Two hundred gold coins. ”
The voice is not loud, but it is very clear, attracting everyone's attention, of course, others can't see the inside from the outside, but everyone knows that this box belongs to the Nangong family, the family where the mayor Nangong Ge belongs. And all of a sudden, the price was set at two hundred gold coins. Anyway, it's just a piece of clothing, and no one wants to have a bad relationship with the Nangong family, and in the end, this robe was sold to Nangong Ze for two hundred gold coins.
Most of the items auctioned after that were weapons, knives and guns. All were sold at a low price. In the middle of the auction, a sword engraved with a sword similar to a gentle formation, reduced in weight but still sharp, was finally sold for 2,000 gold coins to the soldier in the corner box.
Not seeing the storage ornaments he was expecting, Yang Cheng began to close his eyes and recuperate. Nangong Ze didn't call the price again after buying that gorgeous robe once.
Under the announcement of the host, the auction finally proceeded to the auction of the last item.
The small round table slowly rose, tore off the black cloth, and in the exclamation of everyone, this storage ornament was finally displayed in everyone's eyes.
It was a silver necklace with a bright black hexagonal stone pendant hanging from it, warm and elegant. The necklace is strung with intricate tassels and silver threads, which shine out with a light that shows the elegance of the necklace.
Yang Cheng opened his eyes and looked at the necklace, the storage jewelry.
Yuhan was giggling and eating fruit in the previous auctions of several items. Seeing the necklace, Yuhan's big eyes widened, and she was immediately attracted by the necklace in front of her, and sure enough, the girl had no resistance to these shiny jewelry.
"I won't introduce the beauty of this necklace, everyone has seen that this necklace is a storage ornament, there is about three cubic meters of space in it, which can store some food, weapons and important items. The hassle of bringing these items is greatly eased. You can't put a mob, but everyone knows the value of a stored item. After infusing the power of the soul, as long as you move your mind, you can perform the steps of taking and storing things. This is a stashed necklace that you can't come by. The starting price is 5,000 gold coins, and each increase is 1,000 gold coins. The auction begins. ”
"Five thousand gold coins. ”
"Six thousand gold coins. ”
"Seven thousand gold coins. ”
Unlike before, this time the bids were basically VIP in the box. The price of this storage necklace is also rising. Soon it broke through fifteen thousand gold coins, and Nan Miyazawa also increased the price halfway, but it was quickly overtaken. At the moment of 25,000,000,000 gold coins, the shouting became sparse.
Nangong Ze smiled bitterly, he didn't expect to spend so much money when he went out today, but he brought 20,000 gold coins. Nangong Ze had promised Yang Cheng to send a storage ornament as a gift for Yang Cheng's successful application for the badge of the Carving Array Master, which could also be regarded as a meeting gift. The key is that there is still Nangong Ze's daughter Yuhan today, her daughter is the meat of her father's heart, if he doesn't believe his words, how can he, as an example, promise Yuhan what he wants to do in the future?
"Twenty-six thousand. "The price of this ornament has come to 26,000 gold coins!
"Uncle Nangong Ze, I don't know if the auction house can be bartered?" Yang Cheng on the side suddenly spoke.
"Yes, didn't I promise you to give you a storage ornament, I didn't bring so many gold coins when I went out today, and I'm trying to figure out a way. Why are you asking this question?"
"If you can, I don't know how much I can exchange this wood for. Yang Cheng took out a piece of wood that emitted a little white light. This wood was carved by Yang Cheng in the palace of the carver early this morning, and then Sheng Jun gave it to Yang Cheng, saying that it was Yang Cheng's own labor.
After explaining the origin of the wood in one sentence, the auction price of the necklace changed from 26,000 gold coins to 27,000 gold coins.
Briefly explaining the use of this wood, Nangong Ze nodded to Yang Cheng and pressed the sound button: "I'm sorry everyone, I want to interrupt, I have something here, I don't know if it can attract the attention of the necklace seller, if the necklace seller is interested, I don't know how much price this thing can use."
"Okay, please wait. The host was also well aware of the situation, so he suspended the auction. The auction house, naturally, hopes that the higher the price, the better. A 5% brokerage fee can be charged from it, including the value of the item.
