Chapter 17: Auctions
"Ma Long, don't you believe me?" Lin Yuqi said aggrievedly, with tears churning in her charming eyes, looking pitiful and moving.
Ma Long suddenly felt pity, and hurriedly said: "How can I not believe you! It's all this kid's nonsense, don't worry, I just think he is farting!"
Lin Yuqi broke into laughter and brought the charm of the little woman to the extreme.
Chu Hao only felt a burst of nausea, and waved his hand: "Don't stand in the way, I don't know if this is very rude?"
"Chu Hao, with me today, you can't buy anything!" Ma Long said, since he couldn't gain the upper hand on the topic of women, he had to hit Chu Hao from another angle.
Chu Hao couldn't help laughing, did this guy use his brains when he spoke? Do you know how much silver Fumanlou earns a day? Indeed, in terms of family background, the current Chu family is definitely not the opponent of the Ma family, but the question is, you Ma Long is only a junior of the Ma family, how many assets can you use?
"Chu Hao, what are you laughing at?" Ma Long said angrily.
"Of course I'm laughing at you idiot!" Chu Hao showed no mercy.
"You! you!" Ma Long pointed at Chu Hao, looking like he wanted to make a move but forcibly restrained him.
This is an auction house, a place where the City Lord's Mansion strictly prohibits making trouble! Don't say that he Ma Long can't do it, he can't do it, even the eight nobles in the city don't have such qualifications!
Lin Yuqi couldn't help but sigh secretly, Chu Hao was indeed a fool before, but now, in comparison, Ma Long was too naïve, completely like a child in front of Chu Hao!
"Let's go!" she tugged at Lamarlon's sleeve.
Ma Longwu was unwilling, but after being whispered a few words in her ear, she nodded and sat down with Lin Yuqi in the distance.
This woman is a poisonous snake, probably some kind of evil idea, right? Think about it, it's just to kill him when he has the opportunity to do it later! Hmph, this poisonous snake, sooner or later he will pull out her fangs!
People arrived one after another, and soon, the auctioneer appeared on the stage and began the auction process.
At the beginning, of course, it will not be a good thing, most of them are handicrafts, such as jade carving, gold and silver jewelry. These belong to luxuries, Chu Hao is naturally uninterested, and he is so bored that he is about to fall asleep.
"Next, a piece of material!" the auctioneer's voice raised an octave, looking excited, "This is a piece of hematite, which is three catties in size, and the purity is very high, and it can be used to make weapons immediately!"
"Everyone should know what hematite is, right? As long as it is made into a sharp weapon, it can even tear through the defenses of the Mahayana realm! Moreover, it is extremely strong, extremely hard, and extremely tough, and can be said to be one of the best divine weapon materials!"
Chu Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, he had seen the catalog of auction items before, and he had been waiting for this material to appear.
"The starting price, one thousand taels of silver!" said the auctioneer.
"Fifteen hundred taels!"
"Two thousand!"
As soon as his words fell, the sound of bidding immediately rang out.
"Ten thousand!" Chu Hao said in a deep voice.
Ten thousand!
Speaking from the heart, the final transaction price of the three-pound hematite was definitely more than 10,000 taels, but it increased from 2,000 to 10,000 at once, which frightened a large number of people in terms of momentum.
With Chu Hao's bidding, no one raised the price for a while.
"One in case!" The silence was only temporary, and immediately someone raised the price.
It's Marlon!
He glanced at Chu Hao, revealing a hint of ridicule. He had already said that he would never let Chu Hao shoot something!
"Twenty thousand!" Chu Hao said indifferently.
He is now so poor that all he has left is money!
Hematite is indeed a good thing, but considering that it weighs only three catties, 20,000 taels of silver should be close to the bottom limit! If it were a normal situation, it would definitely take a long time to compete before the price could be pushed to such a height.
But now it has soared to 20,000 taels at the beginning!
"Twenty thousand, twenty-one thousand taels!" Malone gritted his teeth and reported another number.
He is only a child of the Ma family, although he is the only son of the current head of the family, and his status is much higher than that of ordinary children of the Ma family, but the wealth that can be used is 30,000 taels of silver.
And you only get a chance once a year!
But Chu Hao increased the price so ruthlessly, others added a few hundred taels of silver, but he added 10,000 taels of silver! 30,000 taels of silver...... It doesn't seem like a lot of money!
As long as Chu Hao added it again, he could only stare dryly!
"Thirty thousand!" Sure enough, as expected, Chu Hao raised the price without hesitation.
Ma Long couldn't help it, and said, "Chu Hao, do you really have a lot of money? Deliberately raising the price, this is a crime! I ask to check the silver ticket on his body to prevent malicious bidding!"
At the time of the auction, the guest is indeed qualified to make such a request, and malicious bidding is the thing that everyone hates the most.
"Young Master Chu, please let us take a look at your funds! rest assured, we will never leak the specific amount!" said the auctioneer to Chu Hao.
Chu Hao nodded, and after a guy from the auction house came over, he took out a stack of silver tickets and handed them over, and after the guy counted them, he returned the silver tickets to Chu Hao, and then walked to the stage and whispered a few words to the auctioneer.
"On behalf of the auction house, I can assure you that Chu Shao's funds are abundant, and there is no possibility of malicious bidding!" the auctioneer announced to everyone, and then said, "Is there anyone else who offers a higher price?"
"Cut!" Malone snorted, his face red and white, looking very unhappy.
He boasted before, but he couldn't even stop Chu Hao's first bidding, which made him embarrassed! Especially since Lin Yuqi was sitting next to him!
"He's just an upstart, don't care!" Lin Yuqi comforted gently.
Ma Long's heart fluttered suddenly, only to feel that this fiancée was really understanding! But somehow, Chu Hao's previous statement of broken shoes always made him have a thorn in his heart, what is the most unbearable thing for a man? Of course, his head is green!
Someone around suddenly laughed, and there were few people in Dongyun City who didn't know about the grievances between the Chu family and the Ma family. It's just that everyone thought that after Chu Tianyun died, the Chu family would decline from now on, but they didn't expect that in the younger generation, Chu Hao, who was called a fool, would actually become a blockbuster!
It seems that the success of Fu Man Lou is not a fluke!
"Thirty thousand taels once!"
"Thirty thousand, two or two!"
"Thirty thousand two or three times!"
"Deal!"
The auctioneer finally struck the hammer and announced that the piece of red iron belonged to Chu Hao.
Chu Hao showed a smile, now that the materials for building a sharp weapon are available, only the swordsmanship is missing.
"Next is a ready-made weapon, named ......," said the auctioneer, who continued his job and boasted wildly.
Chu Hao dozed off again, and according to the auction catalog, there was another sword book for auction later, called "Izumo Sword Technique". This sword technique is an intermediate-level martial art, and it is characterized by one word: fast!
It's perfect for him to learn!
After learning the Izumo sword technique, combined with the sword made by the red iron, his lethality will definitely increase a lot, and he can go out of the city for a spin.
Chu Hao's heart is very big, and he can't settle down, so let him stay in the small Dongyun City all the time, how can he be willing.
After waiting for half an hour, it was finally the turn of the Izumo Sword Book to be auctioned.
Martial arts, which can be passed down from generation to generation, can be said to be the most valuable thing! Moreover, this is still an intermediate martial art, so the starting price has reached 5,000 taels, which makes most people can only be daunted.
"Ten thousand taels!" Ma Long immediately raised his hand and shouted, he was going to buy this sword book and give it to Lin Yuqi after buying it.
Lin Yuqi smiled softly at him, she was good at using swords, and she only got a primary swordsmanship when she was in the Chu family before-no way, although the Chu family was a nobleman, she really didn't have any savings, just enough to buy a primary swordsmanship.
And she didn't really become a member of the Chu family, of course, it was impossible to pass on the Shadow Sword.
She is determined to succeed in this intermediate swordsmanship!
"Twenty thousand!" Chu Hao bid.
What, it's this guy again!
Ma Long's face changed immediately, he only had 30,000 taels of silver, why did Chu Hao want to go against him? At this moment, he completely forgot about the previous competition between himself and Chu Hao for red iron, and he only felt that this guy was so hateful!
It must be that he is unwilling to let Lin Yuqi leave, so he will deliberately make trouble!
Damn!
"Thirty thousand!" he gritted his teeth.
"Forty thousand!" Chu Hao calmed down and continued to increase the price.
What to do? What to do? Do you want to lose again?
Malone's face trembled, he didn't want to lose!
"I still have 20,000 here, you can use it first!" Lin Yuqi said.
When Ma Long heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "How can I use your money!"
"When we get married, everything I have is yours, and what else is yours and mine!" Lin Yuqi pretended to be shy.
Ma Long's soul was suddenly gone, his confidence doubled, and he raised his hand and said, "Fifty thousand taels!" He didn't believe that Chu Hao had so much money, you must know that the other party had used up thirty thousand taels before, so Chu Hao must have at least eighty thousand taels of family funds before he could continue to bid.
"Sixty thousand taels!" Chu Hao said very casually.
Damn! Malone was unwilling, stood up and said, "I suspect that this guy is bidding maliciously and asks to check his funds again!"
"Ma Shao, please don't be unreasonable!" said the auctioneer very unceremoniously, as a person in the auction house, there is no need to be afraid of the Ma family at all.
Malone had no choice but to sit down again.
An intermediate martial art was auctioned for 60,000 taels, which is definitely beyond the price that the Izumo Sword Spectrum should have, and everyone's money is not blown by the wind, so naturally no one can continue to bid as this wronged leader.
This sword book successfully fell into Chu Hao's hands.
Chu Hao had already achieved his goal, so naturally there was no need to stay, so he got up and went to the backstage to settle the account, and after paying 90,000 taels of silver tickets, he got a piece of red iron and a sword book.
"Chu Hao, do you want to take revenge on me with this means?" When he was about to leave, he saw Lin Yuqi leaning against the wall of the corridor and said in a disdainful tone, and he didn't know what excuse she used to leave Ma Long and come to see Chu Hao alone.
"You take yourself too seriously!" Chu Hao shook his head, and his feet didn't stop at all.
"Give me the sword spectrum, and I'll treat it as if today's incident didn't happen!" Lin Yuqi said again.
"Daydreaming!"
"Chu Hao, don't regret it!"
"Hah!"
Chu Hao walked away, he didn't care that Lin Yuqi was staring at his back with a vicious gaze, he was going to immediately build a sharp blade and learn the Izumo Sword Technique.
