Chapter 37: The First Auction
Mining, alchemy, fighting monsters, Tang Yunfeng, who is single-minded and multi-purpose, has brought his time efficiency to the extreme, and the success rate of alchemy will inevitably decline slightly. But compared to the nearly three-fold increase in efficiency, the success rate of alchemy that has dropped by less than 10% is insignificant.
In the first day, except for the more than an hour consumed by building city walls, houses, and alchemy furnaces, Tang Yunfeng still got eleven bronze sword embryos. You can't stay here at night, and if something unexpected happens, the day will be in vain.
Tang Yunfeng returned to the backyard of the Fengxue Inn with eleven bronze sword embryos and began forging bronze swords. This time, he didn't need to be in a hurry, so he designed the style of the bronze long sword, using the ancient Qin sword's Feng Brother as the main tone, optimizing the shape of the hilt and sword, and lengthening the sword body. The whole sword is 80 centimeters long, the hilt is 20 centimeters long, the sword body is 60 centimeters long, and the total weight is about three catties and six taels.
After the first bronze long sword was successfully forged, Tang Yunfeng looked at the streamlined long sword and was overjoyed, and carved the word wind and snow on the hilt, preparing to keep this sword for his own use. As a result, I unexpectedly received a prompt from the system: "Do you want to name this longsword the Wind and Snow Longsword?" ”
Tang Yunfeng was stunned, could it be that the system also has brand awareness? No matter what it was, it was a name or not, just to advertise the company, and he decisively chose "yes". An input box appeared in front of him, asking him to enter the text and select the shape. Tang Yunfeng came up with the well-known advertising slogan in his mind: XX production, it must be a high-quality product. So, he typed in the word "wind and snow" and chose the small seal mode.
After getting the brand trademark, Tang Yunfeng made persistent efforts to continue forging, and when the second wind and snow long sword was formed, the sword body near the hilt appeared in the style of the seal small seal "Wind and Snow Production" four words, which suddenly improved the style of the whole sword a lot.
In the end, eleven bronze sword embryos successfully forged nine long swords, and in addition to his own, the other eight could be handed over to the money shopkeeper. The two failed sword embryos were directly wiped out, and there was not even a bit of bronze waste left, and the game was still different from reality after all.
After glancing at the time, Tang Yunfeng decided to go offline to eat something, and before going offline, he sent eight wind and snow swords to the grocery store. When the money shopkeeper saw these bronze swords, his fat face smiled like a flower, the sycophants slapped loudly, and the disgusting sycophancy made Tang Yunfeng run away.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the auction hall of the official trading system and all the conscience shops in the game put out the news of the auction of the Wind and Snow Sword at 8 p.m. Suddenly, the forum exploded, and all kinds of posts and messages flew all over the sky.
It's been more than ten days since the server was opened, and the first batch of players have passed the novice period, and the weapons such as wooden guns and bamboo swords in their hands have long been unable to keep up with the needs, and the weak attack power is like tickling high-level monsters. However, except for some weapons made of mutated plants, there are no weapons that can be replaced.
At this time, the auction hall released a wind and snow bronze long sword, which was a rain for powerful players during a long drought. Especially after seeing the system description of the Wind and Snow Sword, players are even more fanatical. The supply given by the system is limited to 10 sticks per day, and they will be listed at the auction at 8 p.m. sharp.
For a while, the price of gold coins soared in the gold coin trading market on the official website, and it rose to 200 yuan per piece after a while. Although the market is still dominated by a buyer's market, a small number of gold coins have already been sold.
Tang Yunfeng felt that it was almost over, and he couldn't be too greedy. He has a lot of gold coins in his hand, and he needs to cash out some of them first. So he packed 1,000 gold coins into a group of 100 pieces, and set the unit price of 200 yuan/piece and 205 yuan/piece respectively...... It has been until 245 yuan / piece, and it is set to be sold automatically. Fortunately, the trading system blocks the buyer and the buyer's specific information, otherwise, his operation will definitely attract the attention of others.
As soon as he set up his gold trade, he logged into the game and continued his mining and alchemy career. By the time he reached the Bronze Vein, the horse-resisting stakes on the city wall had been destroyed, and a stone monkey was crouching on the roof of his alchemy.
Tang Yunfeng, who was holding a bronze sword, did not choose to attack with a spell, but jumped high with the help of the city wall and slashed towards the stone armor monkey. The stone armor monkey didn't just throw stones, the long arm was petrified instantly, and the two fists were wrapped in thick stone armor, like two stone hammers, directly blocking Tang Yunfeng's bronze long sword.
The sword draped over its hammer-like fist, splattering stone chips. Tang Yunfeng took advantage of the situation to land, his figure turned, and the long sword wiped the ribs of the stone armor monkey. The stone monkey can run a lot of speed, but in this kind of small-scale battle, it is obviously not flexible enough. The bronze sword cut a wound more than ten centimeters long in its ribs.
Under the pain of the stone armor monkey, he waved his long arm and swept in a roar, Tang Yunfeng was short, and the stone hammer swept over his head with the sound of whirring wind. Taking advantage of the wide opening of the stone armor monkey's middle door, Tang Yunfeng's bronze long sword stabbed directly into the neck of the stone armor monkey, hit it with one blow, leaving a blood hole and then drew his sword and left, avoiding the huge stone fist smashed by the stone armor monkey.
In less than three minutes, Tang Yunfeng, who had the advantage, killed this unlucky stone armor monkey, and the strength of the attack power of the bronze long sword could be seen. Putting away the obsidian burst from the stone monkey, he began the monotonous cycle of mining alchemy again.
This time, he didn't wait for the sun to go down, and returned to the camp after refining fifteen bronze sword embryos, and he was going to forge five more wind and snow swords before dark. The forging went very smoothly, and 5 long swords were forged after one failure. Two handfuls were given to the money shopkeeper to make up for the number of auctions tonight, and the remaining one was given to Ren Xiafei, one was given to Han Fengxiang, and the last one was kept for himself.
Seeing that there was still time, he split a bronze sword embryo in two, created two daggers, and prepared to return to Li Xuhui. He hadn't studied the staff yet, and Lu Yang and Qin Xihe's equipment could only wait and see.
Tang Yunfeng quit the game and logged on to the official website to check the situation of the gold coin trading market. All ten sets of gold coins have been sold, but due to the supply of his ten sets of gold coins, the price of gold coins has stabilized at about 230 yuan per piece. Tang Yunfeng thought about it, and at a price of 240 yuan per piece, he put out more than a dozen groups of gold coins ranging from 10 pieces to 20 pieces. After a while, a small number of gold coins were snatched away by the local tyrants.
Local tyrant players are not stupid, and they must know that gold coins will definitely depreciate over time, but they are more expensive at the moment. Their purpose is the Wind and Snow Bronze Long Sword, but it is not a gold coin, and the goal of today's rush is to have enough.
Taking time to kill the dinner brought back by Li Xuhui, Tang Yunfeng paid attention to the fluctuations of the gold coin market while accumulating game time, and threw out several groups of 10 and 20 gold coins from time to time, and the price was set at 240 yuan per piece.
Because Han Fengxiang and Li Xuhui had the benefits of thunder and lightning and sacrificing their lives, Tang Yunfeng specially instructed them not to participate in the auction. After learning that the Wind and Snow Sword was made by Tang Yunfeng, the dormitory was naturally full of joy. Only Lu Yang and Qin Xihe were slightly disappointed, because the other people were going to change their guns, and only they were still holding the magic vine staff.
Han Fengxiang's income from thunder and lightning was far higher than Li Xuhui's sacrificial blow, but he set up a reward equal division as the captain at that time, so it was similar to Li Xuhui, and it was like dozens of gold coins. After all, aside from assassin enthusiasts, the skill of sacrificing one's life is really not much needed for other players.
Everyone's judgment is about the same, and they all think that these few days will be the time when the price of gold coins is the highest, and they will try to realize it if they can realize it. After all, alchemy and forging have already appeared, and ore veins have been found in many places, even if the success rate of alchemy and forging is low, it can't stand the large base of players! In a few days, the scene of the wind and snow sword dominating the coquettish will disappear. At that time, as the supply continues to increase, the price of bronze weapons will continue to fall, and the price of gold coins will also decrease.
The six people in the 209 dormitory all chose to watch the auction in "Tianyuan Universe", firstly, they can accumulate game time while watching, and secondly, they can keep an eye on the price of the gold coin trading market at any time, and the most important thing is not to occupy the game time.
At eight o'clock sharp, the auction hall of the trading system opened on time, which was the first official auction organized by the system, which attracted the attention of many players. The opening of the auction hall was very shocking, a bronze long sword with a metallic texture slowly rotated against a black background, and the exquisite shape, smooth lines and red seal seal logo immediately captured the hearts of warrior players.
The auction was not long, only 15 minutes, and ten swords were listed at the same time, with a starting price of 10 gold coins. After the 15-minute countdown began, the price began to change constantly, soaring all the way to more than 100 gold coins before it began to slow down.
Tang Yunfeng stopped learning knowledge and stared at the changes in the auction amount with full attention. Time passed minute by minute, and the price of ten swords began to exceed two hundred gold coins one after another. It can be seen that he is staggering, that is, the first auction, there are many local tyrants and interested, otherwise who would want to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy such a game weapon that is not even high-level.
Time is getting less and less, and someone in the gold coin market suddenly wants to buy gold coins at a high price, and the price directly opens to 260 yuan / piece, and Tang Yunfeng directly sells a group of 100 pieces to him; Later, someone asked for 50 pieces at a price of 270 yuan/piece, and Tang Yunfeng sold them as soon as possible. At the last moment, he sold another 100 pieces at a price of 280 yuan and 300 yuan respectively.
As the countdown ended, the price of the ten Wind and Snow Bronze Longswords was finally locked, with the most expensive one soaring to 272 pieces, and the cheapest one 259 pieces. The average price is 265 gold coins, which is almost 60,000 yuan on average for a snow sword when converted into RMB.
In this auction, Tang Yunfeng sold more than 1,800 gold coins and earned more than 400,000 yuan, and more than 2,600 gold coins were recovered. Back and forth, Tang Yunfeng's ten wind and snow swords were equivalent to bringing him 800 gold coins and an income of 400,000 yuan. In Lu Yang's words: This auction is a set made by the system and the second brother.
After the auction of ten wind and snow long swords, people were still immersed in the trench of the local tyrant, and five bronze long swords were hung out in the auction hall, the style was different from the wind and snow long sword, and it looked more thick and simple.
