Chapter Seventy-Nine: Purple Dew Repeater
The Jack Brothers' grocery store is so large that it probably can't even be compared to the Goblin Empire's factory store in Manbach Town.
The auction is on the second floor.
The start time was set for four o'clock in the afternoon, but many people had already arrived early.
"Your side, please, the official start time of the auction is four o'clock, the main auction item is a 'burst artillery' pedestal produced by the second Xihe Factory, which can continuously fire nine 12.5 caliber shells of various types at a time, with a range of 3.5 kilometers and a maximum lethality of 1.5 kilometers in diameter, which can be fired once every three minutes, and can be fired up to five times a day, and has been used for six years, and various performance evaluations are still available, with a starting price of 50,000 silver bull coins!"
The clerk led Li Yinguang and the others upstairs to the specially prepared auction hall.
On the way, a brief introduction was given to the upcoming auction of the 'burst artillery', although the caliber is only 12.5, it can be fired in nine bursts at a time, and the firing range of 3.5 kilometers is enough to cover up its shortcomings of small caliber.
Li Yinguang's eyes flickered and asked, "Listen to what you mean, the performance of this 'repeating artillery' system can only be regarded as average?" ”
The clerk shook his head with a wry smile: "You lifted the small one, the performance of the artillery was tested and evaluated by the appraiser in the store, and the small one was just relayed from the original words." After a slight pause, he lowered his voice and whispered: "You think, even if the performance of an artillery system that has been used for six years is good, it is not too optimistic to estimate the wear and tear of the gun chamber, otherwise the starting price will not be set so low." ”
Li Yinguang nodded thoughtfully, since the clerk did not hide it at all, it means that in the face of the current starting price, even if this repeating artillery is a product that is about to be scrapped, it will not be sold!
The auctioneer in the venue is auctioning a 'repeating crossbow'.
"This is a warm-up session, in addition to the official auction of the 'repeating artillery', the first to arrive can also participate in other lots, which are also relatively rare and sought-after goods in the market."
After beckoning Li Yinguang to sit down, the clerk beckoned the person in charge of the auction hall to dock and leave first.
"This 'repeating crossbow' is made of hard-iron wood, which can store twenty-four crossbow arrows, and is small and delicate, suitable for women. In terms of power, you don't have to worry, it can reach a range of up to 800 meters, and within 300 meters, as long as an armor-piercing crossbow arrow is enough to shoot through a thick iron plate, which can be called violent. And this repeating crossbow also has a nice name 'Purple Dew Crossbow'. ”
After the auctioneer passionately explained the performance of the repeating crossbow, he shouted: "The starting price is four hundred and fifty silver bull coins, and each increase shall not be less than fifty silver bull coins, and interested guests can place bids!" ”
Four hundred and fifty silver bull coins, this price is really not low, a 'hand-held shaking Gatling heavy machine gun', the price is only sixty silver bull coins, and it is also equipped with 5,000 ordinary rounds.
It is the 'particle beam energy launch gun' that Li Yinguang gave to the housekeeper Goda, the price is only two hundred and forty or fifty silver bull coins, which is powerful, but the rate of fire is slow and the range is short, which is suitable for collectibles, and occasionally used for self-defense!
The starting price of this repeating crossbow called 'Purple Dew' was as high as 450 silver bull coins, and even if all kinds of performance were good, it was impossible to sell for such a high price outside the auction house.
"You want?"
Li Yinguang inadvertently swept Lan Ling's face, was stunned, and asked softly with a smile.
Lan Ling hesitated slightly, nodded and said: "The 'Purple Dew Repeater' is very famous on the battlefield, it is a product designed by a weapon maker named 'Purple Dew' of the Tree Cave Elf Clan, it is powerful enough, has a long range, and it is very simple to replace ammunition, it can adapt well to all kinds of terrain, but it is not easy to find a 'Purple Dew Repeater' in the market. ”
Li Yinguang waited for her to finish, raised his head with a smile, and quoted: "Four hundred and fifty silver bull coins!" ”
The auctioneer immediately looked over to this side, bent down and smiled and complimented: "This son really knows the goods, four hundred and fifty silver bull coins once, this 'purple dew repeater' is in the market, the price is generally five or six hundred silver bull coins, and the degree of wear is very high, this 'purple dew repeater' is new enough to reach ninety-nine percent new!" ”
"Four hundred and fifty silver bull coins for the second time, is there any other distinguished customer who wants to bid? If not, this 'Purple Dew Repeater' would have been taken away by this discerning son! ”
"Four hundred and fifty silver bull coins for the third time, the transaction, congratulations to this son, who successfully bought the 'Purple Dew Repeater' at a low price."
Listening to the auctioneer's words, Li Yinguang couldn't help laughing, if Lan Ling wasn't interested in it, he would definitely not bid, and the auction would be lost.
However, looking at Lan Ling's expression full of joy, Li Yinguang felt that the price of four hundred and fifty silver bull coins was the 'Purple Dew Repeater', which was really not expensive.
In other words, it's worth it to make a beautiful woman smile!
Next, several weapons were auctioned one after another, with prices ranging from more than 100 to 3500 silver bull coins, and the fancy was auctioned off, and more than half of them were auctioned, but the auction rhythm was very fast.
"The next thing to shoot is the fabric, produced from the 'spider silk cloth' of the colored spider clan, this fabric is soft and thin, worn on the body like a beautiful woman's skin, extremely comfortable, and has a waterproof and fireproof effect, very wear-resistant, extremely popular in the aristocratic circle and the rich businessmen of the big city outside, the spider silk cloth of the colored spider clan is claimed to be more expensive than gold."
"This roll of spider silk cloth is two meters wide and twelve meters long, enough to make any kind of ready-to-wear, and it is extremely difficult, the starting price is six hundred silver bull coins, and each increase cannot be less than one hundred silver cow coins!"
"Eight hundred silver bull coins!"
"Nine hundred silver bull coins!"
"One thousand and one hundred silver bull coins!"
It can be seen that many buyers present are more interested in the spider silk cloth of the colored spider clan, and after a while, the price of this circle of 'spider silk cloth' has reached thousands of silver cow coins.
Butler Goda, Elma, and Saipan walked to the back seat of Li Yinguang and sat down, and the butler lowered his voice and said softly: "Master, the sulfuric acid giant beetle has been realized, with a total price of 222,000 silver bulls, four Z2 smelting furnaces, and a total of 234,000 silver bull coins will be obtained by selling each of the three thousand silver bull coins, and according to your orders, six thousand silver bull coins have been reserved for Miss Lan Ling in the medical hall." ”
Li Yinguang said 'um', looked at the sought-after 'spider silk cloth' on the stage, his eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while, he asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be added to the Iron Armor City?" ”
Without waiting for the butler Goda to speak, Saipan preemptively said: "City Lord, there is a shortage of people, counting you, there are only a few of us, and we must replenish the manpower." ”
There are two options for replenishing the Ironclad City, recruiting from inside the supply point camp, or from outside.
Find slave traders and buy ready-made slaves!
In addition to fighting the Butcher and the Steel Tooth, in addition to fighting the Iron Armor City, it is more about fighting for manpower and luck, and the personnel are seriously damaged, so Saipan is right, and the Castle Iron City has also reached an indispensable level of replenishment of manpower.
