Chapter 58: Bidding (3k)

The $7 million alchemy weapon, it is not yet known how powerful it is - after all, the Sotheby auction house has not arranged a "sword test" session.

If you can move a steel pillar or an iron ingot, you can still show the sharpness of this alchemy sword.

However, looking at the exhausted appearance of the sword-wielding man, it is estimated that there is a high probability that the auction house did not find a hybrid with a high enough blood to actually use this weapon.

That's why the auctioneer will set his sights on the distinguished guests in the VIP room on the second floor.

But even if there were half-bloods who could wield this sword with ease, what would they do?

Times have changed.

Can your swordsmanship be as good as American-style Juhe, Thomson's ripple sprint, and RPG sword?

Therefore, in the eyes of the guests, the collectible value of this alchemical weapon is far greater than the actual combat value, and it is not certain whether the sub-species of "Mimere" really exists.

"$7.3 million."

Someone is starting to quote.

"7.5 million."

"8 million."

……

The outcry kept rising, and soon it soared to 10 million.

"20 million."

For the first time, an understatement from an external speaker doubled the offer.

The guests looked up one after another and saw the proud young man with golden light in his eyes in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass of the No. 4 VIP room.

He still ignored the nearly a thousand projected gazes below, and his eyes only looked at the alchemy weapon on the stage.

"20 million for the first time."

After a few seconds of silence, the auctioneer saw that there was no more bidding from the second floor, and raised the hammer in his hand to start the final countdown.

"21 million."

Someone held up a sign, and the two numbers "88" on the number plate were particularly bright.

Donna looked at the overly young boy beside her with a somewhat stunned expression.

She thought that the other party and herself were simply coming to join in the fun, but she didn't expect that all of a sudden it was a blockbuster and quoted a sky-high price of more than 20 million.

"30 million."

The sound of the horn in the VIP room upstairs is still an understatement.

"40 million."

Lu Mingfei raised his card again, and also added 10 million in one go.

The guests were in an uproar and their eyes were on the young Asian boy.

They were amazed not by the $40 million price, but by his courage — the courage to collide with the distinguished young people on the second floor.

"50 million."

"60 million."

As soon as the words of the horn fell, Lu Mingfei raised his card again without hesitation, and it was imperative to obtain this alchemy long sword.

This is a sky-high price, although the identities of all the mixed-race people on the first floor present are at least the CEOs and talkers of the group company, worth hundreds of millions and billions.

But they are not very willing to use such a small amount of liquidity as 60 million US dollars to buy a collection that does not have much effect other than collecting.

They were self-aware of their bloodline, and did not think that they could wield this alchemical weapon that tested their bloodline in the same way that King Arthur drew his sword in stone.

The bidder in VIP Room 4 withdrew his gaze from the stage and glanced at the young man below who was bidding with him.

He raised an eyebrow, didn't continue to offer, and turned back to sit back in the sofa chair in the center of the room.

"I remember that the little angel had five million in that card, right? Did you put money into his account, potato chip girl? ”

"It would be a shame if the auction house saw that he didn't have enough money in his account and invited him to the finance office."

In the No. 9 VIP room, Jiude Mai is also paying attention to this bidding.

She lifted the pale golden veil to reveal her beautiful face, her red lips leaving a clear seductive mark on the rim of the goblet.

"I just checked, the name of the little angel's student ID card account is Kassel, we don't even have to send money, the secret party will pay for him."

The voice of the potato chip girl in the headset is relaxed and pleasant, and she seems to be happy to save a lot of money again.

For an established auction house like Sotheby, it is natural that there will be a means to deal with the undesirable behavior of indiscriminate price increases.

When each guest bidding for a sign, the financial system will confirm whether there are actual funds corresponding to his account in real time;

Of course, with the exception of some accounts with special names, these accounts are all Sotheby's VIPs, and there is no need to worry about this, as long as they call out the bid, it means that they really want to buy.

"Secret party? Is this old guy Ange going to pay for the blood to tie the little angel to the dragon-slaying chariot? ”

Wine De Mai said.

"It's not his blood, it's the secret party."

"The secret party is a giant monopoly group that controls the 'syndicates' and 'trusts' in Europe and the United States, and the wealth that flows out of their fingernails is billions, and buying a thing of tens of millions is simply scattered."

"Didn't Ange want the little angel to come forward as a weapon? Then he will definitely not be stingy with the money that the little angel has given him to buy weapons. ”

……

"$60 million for the third time! Deal! Congratulations to guest No. 88 for successfully photographing this alchemy weapon! ”

The hammer in the auctioneer's hand struck and the deal was finalized.

The audience resounded with subtlety and politeness

"You're so rich."

Donna sighed softly.

"It's not my money."

Lu Ming didn't tell the truth, but he was already looking forward to how the long sword would feel when he got it.

His instincts told him that there was more to this alchemical weapon than it seemed.

With the sixth lot selling for its highest price to date, many people are beginning to pay attention to who the young man at No. 88 is, and at the same time look forward to what kind of fierce bidding will erupt in his next sale.

The seventh lot, a bronze blowtorch that spews rather ferocious flames, is an alchemical artifact that started at $900,000 and sold for $7.6 million.

The eighth lot is the Saraville knife, known as one of the world's weird weapons, Elizabeth of the 17th century. Battle gave it that name and used it to slit the throats of thousands of young girls.

It has been identified as an alchemy weapon, containing a complete and extremely aggressive alchemy matrix realm.

This time, the VIP room on the second floor was sold one after another, and the starting price of $3 million soared to $32 million in a round of bidding, and finally the customer sitting in the seventh private room bought it.

Lu Mingfei saw the familiar figure, it was actually Ange who bought the Saravel knife, and he was talking and laughing with a beautiful young brown-haired young woman standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass.

Ninth ...... Tenth ......

It wasn't until the thirteenth auction item was brought up that Lu Mingfei picked up the sign again.

"The previous few auction items all contain incomplete or complete alchemy realms, which are mysterious knowledge and technology belonging to the ancient dragon clan......"

"And today's thirteenth lot is a book that records a method of building an alchemy field."

The auctioneer unveiled the red flannel of the tray, revealing in the spotlight an ancient and broken book, about twenty pages, made of parchment, revealing an air of mystery from ancient times.

"What is recorded above is a kind of alchemy field that is applied to the body of an object, making the weight of the object itself lighter but the same mass, which is described as 'lifting weight as light' in a Chinese idiom."

"This is an alchemy technique that can break the laws of physics! Think about it, if this alchemy realm acts on weapons, or even military vehicles, the rocket ......"

The auctioneer's tongue is bright and lotus, and he gushes about the alchemy field recorded in this ancient book.

"Is there a specific formula? For example, the specific numerical percentage of weight reduction. ”

Someone asked in a loud voice.

An embarrassed but polite smile appeared on the auctioneer's face:

"I'm sorry, Sotheby's auction house can only preliminarily interpret this general information about the alchemy field, and there are not enough conditions to build the field."

The guests let out a low laugh, and it became clear to them that what the auctioneer had just said was empty talk.

Unless there is a master alchemist, there is little point in buying this ancient book, it can only be used as a collector's item.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, the auction of the Ancient Book of Construction, which is the most important in the field of alchemy, is now open."

"The starting price is $700,000, and each increase must not be less than $50,000."

"Compared to other things, this book is cheap......"

Lu Mingfei was a little surprised, and he was ready to bid.

One of the biggest challenges with the model armor he wanted to equip was the weight, and if the weight could be reduced, the corresponding power assist system could also be optimized and reduced.

"850,000."

"950,000."

"1 million."

……

The guests were obviously not interested in the book, and only a few people raised their bids.

But the distinguished guests on the second floor are more interested, they are all from a mixed-race family with a historical heritage, and this kind of alchemy ancient book can at least be used as a way to enrich the family's heritage.

The auction price quickly soared to 10 million, but the magnitude and speed of the bid seemed to be relatively slow compared to the previous lots.

Because the coquettish old guy in the seventh private room never meant to bid.

They were well aware of Ange's identity and the alchemist who belonged to the same force as him.

With such conditions, the other party should not be silent.

"11 million!"

Seeing that the price was silent, Lu Mingfei raised the number plate and began to quote.

His move immediately aroused the interest of the guests on the first floor, and the young man used his courage and financial resources to shout the price to the guests on the second floor for the second time.

But...... Those VIPs also seem to have lost interest in bidding.

After a few seconds, the auctioneer looked around and saw that there was no one bidding, so he had to raise the hammer and start the countdown:

"No. 88, 11 million once! 11,000,000 twice! 11,000,000 ......"

Just when the small wooden hammer in the auctioneer's hand was about to be struck, someone made a bid:

"12 million."

The sound of bidding came from the loudspeaker in the No. 1 VIP room, and a black-haired young man stood in front of the glass with a smile, his golden eyes flashing at Lu Mingfei in the guest seat below.

"15 million."

Lu Mingfei raised his card and raised the price by three million.

After a few more seconds of silence, no one bid, and the auctioneer began the countdown as usual:

"No. 88, 15 million once! 15,000,000 twice! 15,000,000 ......"

"16 million."

It seems that the appointment has been made, and a new bid was quoted at the time when the VIP card of the No. 3 VIP room landed.

The guests became interested, and looked at the young man at No. 88 as if they were watching a good show.
