Chapter Twenty-Four: A Super Money Making Machine
"Of course!" Zhong Ling and the little fox said in unison.
Soon, an industrial chain with the title of super money-making machine was born under the planning of four little guys.
Mercenaries are hired to catch wild monsters, raccoon dogs are domesticated, and the auction house is responsible for sales.
The little fox is very busy these days, and spends all day making "beast trapping pills" with Ding Jue in the newly built alchemy room. Fortunately, the materials on this continent are complete. The patterns and characteristics of the plants drawn by the civet were found one by one.
A month later.
On the day of the auction, the entire Diling City was noisy with gongs and drums, firecrackers rang out, red flags were displayed, and there were crowds of people. The economic level of the entire Earth Spirit City has risen to a new level. The firewood houses of ordinary poor people were rented out after a little tidying.
The auction house had already placed advertisements across the continent as early as the plan was set. And the auction house was expanded. The auction house with a capacity of 1,200 people will be expanded to 3,000 people. Tickets for the auction house were sold from 10 silver coins to 1,000 silver coins. And that's just the average seat. The minimum ticket price for a VIP seat is 10,000 silver coins. The revenue from tickets alone has already earned back the upfront investment.
With a loud gong, the auction began.
A beautiful woman, dressed in a well-dressed long skirt, went up to the semicircular high platform to announce the start of the Demon Pet Auction in Earth Spirit City. A cage is then mechanically raised onto the stage. Around the cage stood four beautiful samurai in soft armor, covered with a red cloth.
The auctioneer deliberately circled the cage and pulled down the red cloth violently. Inside the red cloth is a two-winged tiger all the time. The powerful black and white stripes of the word "king" are particularly conspicuous on the door of the head.
"Level 5 Flying Divine Tiger, an adult demon beast. Already domesticated. The auctioneer paused, let the audience talk for a while, and then said: "Everyone knows that the Flying Divine Tiger is very dangerous to capture, and for it, our guild mercenaries have lost several warriors, and several warriors have been injured. In the end, the martial artist took action to capture it. But!" He looked around again before he said, "Everyone knows that the domestication of this fifth-level demon beast is the most difficult. At present, there are very few demon beasts above level five that have been domesticated in our empire. You can imagine how much money and material resources our guild has put into this. Now, the fifth-level Flying Tiger is auctioned, with a reserve price of 100,000 silver coins. Each increase must not be less than 1,000 credits. Bidding begins!"
"One hundred and eighty-eight thousand"
"Two hundred and thirty-three thousand"
"Three hundred and fifty thousand" 。。。。。。
Soon, the price of the Flying Divine Tiger has reached 400,000 silver coins.
The little fox looked at this bid much higher than the 300,000 yuan that Ding Ling gave him at the beginning, and muttered unconvinced: "My dignified Nine Fox King was only offered 300,000 yuan, and this average looking little tiger can actually sell for more than 400,000 yuan!"
Zhong Ling felt the little fox's unhappiness. Whispered, "Little fox, don't be unhappy. At that time, Sister Ding didn't know your true value, and now she will not be willing to sell you even if she gives tens of millions!"
Ding Zhong also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Master Little Fox is a priceless treasure now. No one can afford to bid!"
"That's, my worth is immeasurable!" said the raccoon for a moment. Immediately forgot about the unpleasantness. Continue to watch the bidding coins go up. My heart is hot. "I'll eat sugar gourds in the future, and I will buy two skewers at a time. A bunch to eat, a bunch to play with. ”
In the end, the Flying Tiger was bought by 670,000. The guests who bought the tiger were still smiling, and they didn't feel that they had suffered a loss at all.
After a busy period of work, the auctioneer soon returned to the high platform. Behind him there was another large cage. The cage is really big, several times larger than the Flying Divine Tiger. Inside the cage is an ironclad elephant.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is going to be auctioned now is the ironclad elephant, a fourth-level demon beast with super defense and huge destructive power, and you all know that our imperial army is now equipped with a third-level ironclad rhinoceros. And the total is in 10,000. Today, our guild has overcome many difficulties and trained 30 ironclad elephants. Now the auction of the ironclad elephants has begun, and each auction is a group of 10 elephants. The reserve price of the auction is also 100,000 silver coins, and each increase must not be less than 1,000 silver coins. Bidding begins!"
10 elephants can form exactly one team. It is possible to form a cavalry shock formation, and if there are too few, it will not have the advantage of cavalry charging into formation.
Regarding this batch of elephants, which resembles munitions, Zhong Ling and the others also discussed the demand and success rate of the auction.
Although the Lingxi Continent is a unified empire, the development of various princes' forces and family forces in this relatively peaceful environment is not peaceful, and powerful forces must encroach on the resources of other forces if they want to develop into a larger force. So the battle in the shadows is even more intrigue and bloody.
Obtaining the power of the Iron Elephant will bring a military deterrent to other forces.
You must know that the impact of a small team of ironclad rhinoceros is equivalent to the strength of 100 level 8 martial artists. What about the impact of the ironclad elephant, at least equivalent to the strength of 300 level 8 martial artists. A team of elephant horsemen wants to destroy a force without a martial artist, just like playing. Even if there are junior martial artists, there are no more than 3 of them under conservative estimates, and there is no team of elephant riders who are skilled and cooperative. And the martial artists are also not the existence of cabbage in this continent, and the total number of martial artists in a medium-sized city is about 30. Now the empire needs at least 300,000 silver coins to train a junior martial artist. And that's not even counting the cost of equipment. At the same time, there is a clear quantitative limit on the number of warriors and martial artists of each force in the Lingxi Continent: the number of private soldiers allowed by any force is within 300. Powers that exceed the number of times will be forcibly disbanded by the Empire. The number of elephant riders is not included in the Empire's restrictions on the number of warriors. In contrast, the value of raising a team of elephant horses is far greater than training 3 junior martial artists.
"Two Hundred Thousand"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand" 。。。。。。
Soon, the bid had gone up to one million. And there are still four forces that are still competing.
The Dugu family in the imperial capital, Dugu Tianlong.
Tianyu City's Heavenly Spirit Sect, Xu Jinyuan.
The Thousand Feather Alliance of Thousand Feather City, Lin Yu.
Dark Night in Stormwind, Shadow Three.
The power of these four families in the Lingxi Continent was not among the strongest teams, and it was precisely because of this that they were more actively eager to enhance their strength. I hope to improve the family's ranking in the Lingxi Continent and occupy better resources.
"One million and two million" Xu Jinyuan raised the price again.
"One Hundred and Twenty-One Thousand" Shadow Three also increased the price, Dark Night is an organization that started as a killer, but in recent years, they are not willing to be mediocre, and in Stormwind City, they not only control several small families, but also organize their own escort team. It's kind of playing turf. This time to participate in the competition of the Iron Elephant is to increase the force value of his new power.
"Thousand Feather Alliance bids 220,000"
"I'll pay 1.4 million" Dugu Tianlong directly quoted a high price.
The Dugu family participating in the auction this time is Dugu Tianlong, the second person in the family. During this time, the Dugu family was squeezed by the imperial capital's *** and other forces, and the Dugu family urgently needed to expand its combat power, in addition to this auction, they also recruited martial artists and martial artists on the whole continent.
Looking at Dugu Tianlong's bloodshot eyes, the major forces knew that Dugu Tianlong was bound to win this time, and everyone knew a little bit about their situation, and the other three parties who were also second-rate forces suddenly had a kind of desolation of rabbits and foxes. Therefore, they no longer bid and let Dugu Tianlong take the order.
"*** bid one million four hundred and thousand. "Seeing that the hammer was about to fall for the third time of the auction, someone suddenly raised the price again.
Dugu Tianlong turned his head and stared at the position of the quotation, where a man in a fancy dress was sitting, shaking a folding fan, looking at Dugu Tianlong with a smile.
Ren smiled. You... "Dugu Tianlong knows this person, Ren Xiaoxiao, the first force in the imperial capital, is the one who planned a series of actions against Dugu.
Ren Xiaoxiao smiled with a smile on his face: "Dugu Tianlong, don't be angry, the auction, the highest bidder will win!"
Dugu Tianlong retracted his gaze and took a deep breath: "One and a half million." ”
"One hundred and fifty-one thousand," Ren smiled and slowly added 10,000 silver coins.
"One million and six million" Lonely Tianlong turned his heart and bid again, this batch of iron-armored elephants was too important to them.
This time, Ren Xiaoxiao didn't disgust Dugu Tianlong anymore, but his eyes flashed with conspiracy.
