Chapter 378: Ordinary Items
Ryan played with one of the auction cards in his hand and said, "Ebony, you've been to the auction here before, right?" Tell me how this auction card is used? ”
This auction plate was replaced by Ryan with an invitation card and the auction house when he entered the market, and it is said that this auction card can be used to bid. However, Ryan, who came here for the first time, didn't know how to use it, so he didn't ask the staff in the auction room, and directly asked the ebony next to him.
"Haha, this one is very simple, you look at the number on the auction board, this is your number. If you want to place a bid, place the tag in the slot on the box and say what you offer. The auction table below will know your plate number and hear your offer," Ebony explained with a smile.
Ryan was suddenly very curious, and he looked at the seemingly ordinary wooden box in front of him, as well as the auction card in his hand. These two things are very magical, from his magician's point of view, they should be magic and the effect of the magic array, but Ryan's knowledge of magic is very shallow, and he can't think of the principle of these voices, so he has to give up.
Ryan saw that the number on his auction plate was 109, and it was obvious that the number on the auction plate could rank high among thousands of guests, and it was the light of the third prince Mofen.
Later, Ryan asked Ebony about the auction and learned some basic conditions.
The VIPs in the box can all use the auction card and the transmission box to bid, so that people only know the auction plate number, but do not know who it is. But the average guest in the ground floor seat is not so lucky, and they need to stand up and make an offer. In this way, once you buy something of great value, it will be easy to be remembered, and your identity will be revealed. This may later lead to the greed of some ill-intentioned people, which can lead to some trouble.
Everyone chatted and waited, time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the auction to begin. This auction is only one day, but there are tens of thousands of items auctioned, and it seems that the auction will not be finished. In fact, ninety and half of the auction items are ordinary items, but there are not so many types. There are only hundreds, but each one has a lot of them, and the auction is anonymous, so the auction time is fast.
That being said. I think the auction will take a day and wait until midnight to finish.
Ryan looked down at the rows of seats on the ground floor and saw that only about seventy percent of the seats were occupied. He was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the people who received the invitations would not come to such a major auction. It's a pity. But then Ryan thought about it a little and immediately felt that something was wrong, it should be that some ordinary guests were worried about being recognized, so they might run to the familiar box to sit. This can also be done using auction cards.
While Ryan was looking around, a middle-aged man in a robe was accompanied by dozens of young boys and girls. Walked slowly to the auction table, then stood behind the table on the stage. Dozens of boys and girls each carried a tray covered with a brocade cloth. Standing in a row behind the middle-aged robed men on the auction table, it was clear that these trays were the items of the auction.
Some of the noisy guests in the venue gradually quieted down and looked at the auction table.
The middle-aged man in the robe was about fifty years old, his slightly gray hair was combed back smooth, his square face, his cheeks were thick, he looked quite rich, and with a gentle smile on his face, he felt trustworthy at first sight.
The middle-aged man in the robe lifted a small hammer on the wooden table in front of him and knocked it on the small piece of iron placed on the table, and suddenly made a "dang" sound, which resounded throughout the audience.
The middle-aged man in the robe made a noble salute to the guests in all directions of the front and left directions, and said, "Distinguished guests, welcome to the Star Auction House, I am the chief auctioneer of the Star Auction House, Puxi, who is responsible for presiding over today's auction......"
Subsequently, the auctioneer on the stage began to talk about the methods and rules of the auction, so that many people who came to the auction for the first time could understand it clearly.
Ryan also listened carefully, and found that the auction method was very simple, similar to what Ebony had introduced to Ryan before. When bidding for precious items and superb items, the people in the box only need to put the auction card into the transmission box, and the number of the auction card will be displayed on the outside of the box, and then the transmission box will spread the voice of the bidder in the box to the whole audience, so that everyone can hear the voice of the bidder.
Ordinary guests on the ground floor need to hold up the auction card, so that the auctioneer on the stage can see the number of the auction card, and then shout the price of the auction.
However, when it comes to bidding on ordinary items, it's a different approach. Due to the large number of ordinary items of each category, there are also a lot of people who want to bid, if you open your mouth one by one, the highest bidder wins, then you can't finish auctioning an ordinary item for most of the day. Therefore, the auction of ordinary items adopts an anonymous method, and the person who wants to quote a price, and then all the prices are sorted, from high to low, and the highest price wins, which is very simple and fast.
After a while, after the auctioneer finished talking about the rules of the method, he stopped talking nonsense and directly announced the start of the auction.
Soon, a young man stepped forward, placed the tray in his hand on the table in front of the auctioneer, and then removed the brocade cloth that covered the tray, revealing the contents of the tray, a slightly glowing piece of iron. The boy immediately stepped back from the auction table, and soon took out a new tray from the back of the auction table and lined up at the back of the line. Obviously, these boys and girls cycle out the auction items, the men take the heavy items, and the women take the light items.
Ryan stared at the iron block on the tray, and couldn't see what kind of iron it was, but it was definitely something of no value, otherwise he couldn't go to this level of auction, but this iron piece ranked first among ordinary items, and it was probably not too valuable.
Then Ryan began to be a little surprised, the Star Auction didn't seem to protect the items on the auction table, weren't they afraid that people with bad intentions would come forward to grab it? However, Ryan was quickly relieved, this is a city of glory, not a small place, not to mention the strength of a high-level swordsman and a high-level magician, even a seventh-level swordsman and a seventh-level magician, may not dare to do anything wrong, that will die a miserable death.
"Now the first ordinary item in the auction, high-grade refined iron, refined by a high-level blacksmith, I believe this item does not need to be introduced by me, everyone knows it very well. The number of high-grade refined iron is 50 pieces, each weighing 20 catties, and the auction reserve price is 200 gold coins a piece, and the auction is now open. The auctioneer's words sounded at the right time as the first item appeared, his voice was not loud, but under the effect of amplification magic, everyone present could hear it clearly.
Ryan was expressionless, he had no interest in items of this material, unless they were very valuable materials. Similarly, the others in the box were not interested, and everyone talked casually.
"This kind of fine iron is useful for intermediate swordsmen, but it is not very useful for high-level swordsmen, and it is more troublesome to find someone to make it, so it is better to buy weapons directly."
"The reserve price is a little lower, but auctions usually have a relatively low reserve price, which is easy to attract bids. If you want this piece of fine iron, you need at least 500 gold coins. ”
As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, the ordinary guests who wanted to bid at the bottom began to handwrite the quotation and handed it to the staff next to him, and the whole scene was a little chaotic. And there is no movement in each box, this is not that the guests of the box do not look down on this item, if they want, directly put it into the auction card to the spread box, say their own offer, at this moment the sound of the spread box did not resound throughout the audience, but to the backstage staff, participate in the bidding.
After a while, the auctioneer on the stage took a note from the backstage staff and began to read: "The auction results of the first ordinary item are out, and the guests who bought this item are: guest No. 2054, guest No. 1078 to buy two pieces, and guest No. 689 to ......."
The auctioneer quickly read out a series of winners' numbers, and then auctioned off the next item, with another girl holding a tray on the table. According to the rules of the auction, you don't have to pay immediately, but you will settle the bill when you leave.
"The second ordinary item to be auctioned is the ...... of sulfur gold"
"The ordinary items in the auction below are hundred-year-old walnut ......"
After a series of auction materials, there was finally what Ryan wanted, only to see a small bottle placed on the auction table, the auctioneer introduced: "Now the auction is the best trauma medicine, refined by the most famous medical hall in the City of Glory, can heal all kinds of skin injuries, a total of two hundred bottles, each bottle of auction reserve price is 300 gold coins, now the auction is now auctioned." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ryan decided to buy it, he was often injured, and all of them were skin trauma, so this superb trauma medicine was very useful for Ryan. You must know that Ryan usually uses ordinary medicine for injuries, even if he goes to the best medical clinic in the City of Glory, he only uses medicine that is a little better than ordinary medicine. In general, the best trauma medicine is not sold out, and can only be bought at such auctions. As for the effect of the best trauma medicine, this can be known from the price that it is dozens of times more expensive than ordinary injury medicine.
"I want to buy this superb trauma medicine, I don't know how many gold coins I bid to get it?" Ryan didn't have any experience, so he asked as soon as he could.
"Under normal circumstances, 700 to 800 gold coins can be bought, so if you are on the safe side, you can shoot 800 gold coins." The third prince, who had a lot of experience, immediately replied, and then asked, "Who else do you want?" ”
As a result, everyone wants it, and this kind of medicine for wounds is prepared, and everyone who often wanders outside needs it. Ryan even asked for two bottles.
"Okay, you don't have to buy it separately, I'll take it here in a centralized manner." The third prince, Mo Fen, immediately put the auction plate on the transmission box and said, "Eight hundred gold coins, ten bottles." (To be continued.) )
