Chapter 24: The Auction (I)

Three days later, Wang Ping sent someone to the hotel where Liu Yu and the others lived, and brought a message to Liu Yu, which roughly meant that he hoped to make an appointment with Liu Yu and them to have a detailed discussion with them at a time and place to discuss the specific matters of cooperation between the two sides.

Liu Yu didn't say much, just asked the messenger to go back to determine the specific time and place, and he could go to the appointment anytime and anywhere.

After the messenger left, Liu Yu summoned Man Yi, said what he meant, and finally said to Man Yi: "This is the case, I want to appoint you as our plenipotentiary to be in charge of this negotiation, I hope you don't let us down." ”

After Manyi received such a task, the excitement in his heart can be imagined, after saying a lot of words of gratitude to Liu Yu and their swear of absolute allegiance, Manyi asked the most critical question: "Where is the bottom line for me to negotiate this time?"

In the box of an ordinary hotel in Wall City, the wine and food on the table have not been touched at all, and Man Yi and Wang Ping are fiercely arguing about every clause of the cooperation between the two sides, striving for the best interests of each other. After an afternoon of lengthy negotiations, Man Yi and Wang Ping finally reached a final agreement. When both parties signed their names on the agreement, the two people raised their wine glasses at the same time, and the two wine glasses gently slammed into each other with a "ding" sound.

Both parties are very satisfied with this agreement, which is much higher than the bottom line they can bear. In order to maximize the interests of each other, although the negotiation took a long time and the process was intense, the final agreement was signed in a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere.

Next, the cooperation between the two sides officially began, Liu Yu first took out 10 million gold coins and handed them to Man Yi, so that he could buy a property in the best part of Wall City, which is a ten-story building used to operate weapons and equipment and serve as a meeting place for union members, and also hung a huge signboard in the prominent position of the main entrance - "Tian Guild". With the help of Liu Yu's family badge and his clever tongue, Man Yi invited powerful nobles and high-ranking officials from all over Wall City, as well as some celebrities, to come and cheer.

For a time, the Tiangong Union was full of friends, and the name of Wall City was known to everyone. The Heavenly Guild has also become the hottest topic in Wall City now, and everyone is talking about what this Heavenly Guild is, and who is the boss behind it? And everyone is proud to receive the invitation from the Heavenly Guild, because it is said that the consul of Walker Province and the military chief Prince Yude was the first guest to be congratulated, and the sign of the Heavenly Guild was also made by him himself.

Therefore, everyone who thinks that he has a certain status in Wall City has sharpened his head and drilled into it, trying in every possible way to get an invitation from the Heavenly Union to show his status in Wall City. At this time, Manyi deliberately reduced the distribution of invitations, forming a situation where supply exceeded demand.

Looking at the crowded scene in front of him, Wang Ping's heart was also bursting with ecstasy. When has there ever been such a bustle, the guests who come to visit every day are about to break the threshold, and the gifts sent are piled up in the hall on the first floor. Wang Ping, Man Yi and several vice presidents of the trade union were busy with the turnaround, and they kept welcoming and sending them away, and they didn't even have time to drink saliva.

While busy greeting guests, overflow has not forgotten his mission. According to the agreement negotiated with Wang Ping in advance, ten pieces of fine equipment from several craftsmen were taken out and placed in the hall on the first floor to display to the guests and promote the products. These ten pieces of equipment were jointly researched and determined by Liu Yu, Gongye Chang and several craftsmen as the first batch of display and sale. The selection of this first batch of equipment also made them painstaking, not only not to take out all the best equipment, but also to ensure that these ten pieces of equipment are all high-quality products that are difficult to buy on the market, so that buyers know that buying equipment in the Heavenly Union is definitely a good deal, and the best equipment in the empire can be bought at the lowest price here.

After a week of building momentum, these ten pieces of equipment are finally going on sale today. In front of the building of the Tiangong Union, there was a sea of people, and countless citizens gathered here to wait to see the auction process of these ten pieces of equipment. One after another, the luxury carriages kept driving to the door of the Heavenly Union, and every person who walked down from the carriage would cause the crowd of onlookers to let out bursts of exclamations.

As the time approached, the guests had almost arrived, and Man Yi and Wang Ping also stopped greeting the guests present and began the final preparations before the sale of these ten pieces of equipment. A beautiful booklet has been distributed to each guest, and the booklet is printed with colorful pictures to make it clear to the guests. In addition, a brief description of the ten pieces of equipment is given through text.

The ten pieces of equipment hung in the middle of the hall, and all the guests sat around them, and everyone could clearly see each piece of equipment. These were five swords of varying size, shape, and weight, as well as two shields, as well as three sets of full-body battle armor.

According to the quality and rarity of each piece of equipment, the ten pieces of equipment are numbered in turn, from number ten to number one.

When no one entered the hall again, Man Yi and Wang Ping walked to the center of the hall and said to the guests present through the magic loudspeaker: "Please keep quiet! Today is the first auction held by our Heavenly Union, thank you for coming to the venue, I believe everyone has been waiting for a while, I won't say more polite words, the auction has officially begun." Next, I would like to invite Miss Misaki Sakai, the most beautiful lady in Wall City, to preside over the auction, and everyone applauds. ”

In the warm applause of everyone, a graceful and glamorous fox woman walked up. She is tall and elegant, her long red and gold hair is tied into the most popular bun in Wall City, and a black velvet slim dress sets off her nobility and mystery. While the legs are moving forward, the round buttocks wrapped in the black velvet dress writhing gracefully, making people feel a heartbeat after looking at it.

Walking to the center of the hall, Miss Sakai first bowed slightly to the guests around her, and then her melodious voice sounded: "Thank you very much for the kind invitation of the Heavenly Union, so that I have the opportunity to preside over this grand event today." At the same time, I would like to thank all the guests who are here, your presence will definitely make this event even more successful! Let me first introduce the ten pieces of fine equipment in this auction, so that you can make a better choice. ”

Miss Sakai first came to the piece of equipment on the far right and introduced, "Ranking tenth is a bronze heavy sword, this sword represents the highest casting process of our beast bronze weapon, and it is also a rare attack weapon. It's just that the production of bronze equipment has begun to be eliminated in the Heavenly Union, so although this sword is good enough, it can only be ranked last. Its reserve price is 300,000 gold coins. ”

"Next up is the ninth piece of equipment, which is also a bronze workpiece, a set of full-body battle armor. It is also inlaid with a magic stone, which can not only effectively resist physical attacks, but also has a certain degree of magic resistance, which can resist the attacks of primary magic. Its reserve price is half a million gold coins. ”

"No. 8 is a long sword made of stainless steel, about one and three meters long, and weighs about fifteen kilograms. Don't look at its limited weight, but its sharpness is incomparable to that of ordinary bronze swords. For general light armor, it can effectively break defenses. Due to its lighter weight, it is also more convenient to use. Its reserve price is likewise 500,000 gold coins. ”

"The seventh piece of equipment is this tower shield, which is also made of stainless steel. However, with the addition of Darkiron and Mithril, Darkiron increases its physical resistance and Mithril strengthens its magical resistance, and the addition of Mithril gives it a certain self-healing ability, which can repair some small cracks and dents, greatly extending its lifespan. Its base price is 600,000 gold coins, and the warriors who charge into battle can consider it, and with it, your survivability on the battlefield will be greatly improved. ”

"The No. 6 armament is still a set of battle armor, which has been repeatedly tempered and processed from the cold ice iron and the red rock in the lava of Mount Fuji five thousand meters below the Lille Sea. It has two castes, ice and fire, and can automatically regulate the temperature. During the battle, it can effectively reduce the damage caused by the two castes, ice and fire, and absorb it into its own defense. It can be said to be a good quasi-magic equipment. The reserve price is 900,000 gold coins. ”

"The fifth is a black iron heavy sword, its material is all made of black iron, so it is harder, and sharper, plus up to eighty kilograms of weight, it can sweep almost any enemy on the battlefield, and few equipment can withstand its full force. It sells for one million gold coins. ”

"The shield in number four must be full of questions about it, how can this little round shield be so high? Yes, it is small, and it doesn't seem to protect the whole body. However, even this small round shield that looks small has a magic circle engraved on it. Everyone knows that we orcs can't use magic, let alone engrave magic arrays on our equipment. This is the first real magic equipment in the history of our orcs, and it has only one function, that is, when its owner's life is threatened, the magic array engraved on it will be activated, resisting all magical and physical attacks, even forbidden spells cannot break through its defenses. Of course, it can only resist such an attack once, and then it will be completely damaged and turned into a pile of scrap metal. Come to think of it, having it is equivalent to an extra life, which no amount of money can be exchanged for!

Before Miss Sakai's introduction was finished, the guests in the audience were already unable to hold back, and someone directly shouted out the price of three million in the hope of getting this shield. Think about it, this is not what ordinary equipment can have, what these people have is money, but there is only one life, and without life, what can be done with more money?

Miss Sakai smiled and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and when the last three pieces of equipment were introduced, the auction would officially begin, and it would not be too late for the guests to place their bids.

"It's hard to determine the order in which the last three pieces of equipment are ranked, and although they are numbered from number one to three, that's just for everyone's convenience. Miss Sakai paused, then continued, "As for the value of these three pieces of equipment, let's invite Wang Ping, the descendant disciple of the most famous craftsman in the empire, Gongye Chang, to introduce it to you. Everyone is welcome. ”
