Lu Mingfei felt a little bored, originally thought that there should be something special about the auction between the half-breeds, but in fact, everyone was very well-behaved, and there was no trick such as a speech and spirit performance, Ange didn't give an order, he didn't raise his cards, and he tried his best to show disdain for those lots, in fact, by the fourth lot, it was beyond the scope of what he could play, and his task fund was only two million deposits, but from the fourth lot, the starting price was already three million.

When the finale of this auction, "Qing Qianlong Yangcai icing on the cake and longevity Ruyi gourd bottle" fell under the hammer, the audience burst into applause.

"Cheer up, your mission goal for today is coming." Ange reminded.

Lu Mingfei was excited, he had watched the play for so long, and now it was finally his turn to play?

"Next up is today's special session, as always, 'Unexpected Encounters.'" The auctioneer smiled.

Lu Mingfei saw Tang Sen's eyes light up, so he asked, "What encounter?" ”

"Unexpected encounters are fun." Townsend patiently explained, "It is usually after the end of the auction, when some alternative lots will be launched, mostly gadgets, occasionally sky-high prices, and the possibility of leakage, a while ago someone bought an old Renaissance painting in the 'unexpected encounter', and then the buyer used ultraviolet perspective to find that there was a layer of painting under it, which was the original work of Leonardo da Vinci, and there was a signature." ”

"That's a lot of luck." Lu Mingfei exclaimed.

A black hard-shell sealed box was pushed up by the auctioneer's assistant with a cart, and the auctioneer held it down with his white-gloved hand, smiling and looking around the room, he did not rush to open the box, and whetted everyone's appetite.

"There is no doubt that this lot is extraordinary, and all the auctioneers were shocked when they saw it, it is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, but unfortunately we don't know anything about its heritage, not even its age, so we can't set a suitable starting price for it. With the seller's permission, this will be our extremely rare zero starting price auction, and the amount of each markup can be ......" The auctioneer held up a finger, "One dollar!" ”

There was a commotion in the venue for a while, and the zero starting price was indeed a novelty, everyone's interest was aroused, and the auctioneer's marketing methods obviously had the desired effect.

The auctioneer slowly lifted the lid of the box, and his voice was mysterious: "Fabulous container...... Alchemy Treasure Box! ”

The lid of the box opened, revealing the collection inside, it was a beautifully crafted metal cube, each side engraved with mysterious runes, which was indeed very eye-catching, but that was all, no one said anything, it looked like a beautiful plaything, but it didn't seem to show any particular value worthy of auction.

Lu Mingfei also felt puzzled when he looked at it, this thing looked like a simulation prop of some game, and the workmanship was very exquisite, but compared with the antiques auctioned before, it was difficult to see what the value was.

"Alchemy treasure box, after professional identification, the body of the box is made of superb alchemy technology, the material is recycled metal, a special method is required to open, there is something in the box, but the existing detection methods can not detect what it is, we cannot estimate the value of this lot, but it is speculated that it may be related to the dragon family." The auctioneer began to explain, "The craftsmanship is excellent, and it is in perfect condition, making it a collection that is definitely worth betting on." ”

"Is there really a treasure in there?" Lu Mingfei asked softly.

"Perhaps, your vice-principal asked me to buy it, and he said that even if there is no treasure in it, the alchemy process on it alone is a priceless treasure." Ange said, "But it would be nice to listen to that fellow, he is very good at alchemy, and likes to fool the layman." ”

There was a commotion in the venue for a while, and the auctioneer's words came out, which is equivalent to directly explaining that this time is a bet, the value of this alchemy treasure box depends on the value of the things inside, and recycled metal is the pinnacle of alchemy materials, with the existing means, I am afraid that there is no way to destroy it without damaging the things inside, that is to say, to shoot this treasure box, you have to find a way to open it first, and then you can verify its value after opening it.

"Maybe it's an imitation? No matter how well it is preserved, it won't be flawless, right? Someone in the VIP seat questioned, "It looks like a modern craft that is new to the factory this year." ”

"As I said, we can't confirm its age and heritage, so its price only depends on your interest." The auctioneer said.

"Then I'll pay $1!" Someone raised a sign.

"$2!" Someone followed up as if playfully, and the guests all smiled and began to follow along.

"$3!"

"$4!"

In the face of the ridicule of the guests, the auctioneer kept smiling: "Ladies and gentlemen, the word recycled metal alone has already decided that it will not be priced below five figures, can you come up with some more competitive prices?" ”

"Yes, 200,000."

A casual but seductive voice sounded from the box on the right, instantly attracting the attention of the audience, only to see that behind the crimson velvet curtain, sat a girl dressed in an Arabic-style embroidered robe, the golden veil covered her entire face, only a pair of graceful eyes were exposed, and the corners of her eyes were a wisp of crimson that attracted reverie, holding the number plate of "88" in her hand.

She just sat there, not even looking up at the collection, like a queen in the midst of this extravaganza.

"205,000." Someone raised the price.

The joke ended there, and now there are people who recognize that it is worth more.

"210,000!" Lu Mingfei immediately raised his card, the principal said that it would cost him, so he naturally made a move when he should have made a move, anyway, it was not his own money, and he didn't feel distressed to spend it.

"300,000." The Arab girl raised her sign again, but still didn't lift her head.

"Then Ms. 88 bids 300,000 times!" The auctioneer happily raises the gavel.

"350,000." Someone in the VIP seat made a move.

"400,000!" The participation of VIP customers immediately heated up the atmosphere on the field, and some people began to follow along.

"They're starting to drive up prices." Ange said lightly, "Don't worry, just keep the rhythm of bidding, don't bid too obviously, it's not time to exert force yet." ”

"410,000." Lu Ming carried out his mission faithfully.

"1 million." No. 88 jumped the price again.

This imposing bid shook everyone a bit, and many would-be bidders began to wonder if this so-called alchemy treasure box was worth going any further.

"1 million?" Even the auctioneer was a little puzzled and doubled his bid, which broke through his thinking inertia a bit.

"That's 1.5 million." No. 88 did not seem to be satisfied with the auctioneer's reaction and threw out a new price.

"Wait a minute, ma'am, there was no one else bidding with you just now, is your offer 1 million or 1.5 million?" Out of professional habit, the auctioneer still cautiously opened his mouth to verify.

"It didn't matter what it was just now, now it's 1.5 million."

The audience was amazed, this kind of aura is really powerful, and if you don't agree with your own price by 500,000, you really don't treat money as money.

"1.6 million." The crowd's amazement was not over, and someone in the VIP seat refurbished the price.

"Someone is starting to get serious." Ange said and held up the card, "1.7 million." ”

"Didn't you say you weren't involved in the bidding, headmaster?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Some people seriously explain that they are also aware of the unusualness of this thing, and they all know me, and I will definitely try to shoot something unusual, if I don't make a move, it will be easy for people to see the strange." Ange explained, "I'm just showing a general interest, and it's up to you to be the killer." ”

"2 million." Queen No. 88 still bids with the momentum that swept everything.

"Keep bidding." Ange ordered.

"But I only have 2 million." Lu Mingfei reminded.

"Don't worry about this, when you successfully photograph this thing, the academy will transfer the account to you." Ange said, "2 million is just a deposit, and we didn't expect to take it easily within 2 million." ”

Since there is the principal's guarantee, then there is nothing to cringe into, make a bold bid! Lu Mingfei directly raised the card: "2.1 million." ”

"2.1 million! This Mr. No. 17 bids 2.1 million once! The auctioneer's face flushed with excitement, this special lot was not favored originally, but now the competition is no less fierce than the gourd bottle in the finale just now!

"3 million." No. 88 is still plain and empty-eyed.

The price has risen alternately, the situation on the field has become anxious, and now no one pays attention to the value of this collection, and the blood of these half-breeds has become hot, and they have begun to spare no cost, and now the question is no longer how much this thing is worth, but how high it can be fetched.

The girl with number 88 was still the center of attention, no matter who bid would be ruthlessly crushed by her, her victory seemed to be a certainty, and anyone else's struggle only added to her final success.

"10 million." No. 88 is still so lightly written, she directly refreshed the digits of the price.

Lu Mingfei was a little numb, he looked blankly at the auctioneer announcing such a huge figure as 10 million, 10 million US dollars, feeling that his eight lifetimes were enough, it still felt a little unreal.

"Ming Fei, I believe in you, you also have to believe in yourself, you are the person I choose, and wherever you go, you will be glorious." Ange's voice rang in his ears.

Lu Mingfei was in good spirits, right! What am I afraid of? There's the whole academy standing behind me!

It's time to stop this senseless farce.

"20 million." Lu Mingfei raised his sign.

Lu Mingfei's voice was not loud, but it covered the audience, and everyone was quiet for a moment, and then there was a lot of discussion.

High Jump 10 million! This is already a sum of money that no one present can easily come up with.

The auctioneer was also hesitating, such an auction was incredible, the assistant came on the stage, whispered a few words to the auctioneer, the auctioneer nodded, and then announced with a solemn expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your interest in this lot, but the intensity of this bid has greatly exceeded our expectations, according to the regulations, our bank has the obligation to prevent the auction from being successful but unable to pay due to false prices, so we need to ask Mr. 17 to communicate with us in the financial room, During this period, the auction will be suspended, so please be calm. ”

Lu Mingfei was shocked, check the accounts? And this kind of thing?

In the finance room, the auctioneer's assistant and the financial manager surrounded Lu Mingfei, they were polite, but in Lu Mingfei's eyes, they were completely murderous.

"I'm sorry that your bid is over-the-top, and we have to ask you to come here to verify it in order to ensure the safety of the auction." The finance manager patted a black suitcase, "You provided us with a Zurich bank account number with $2 million as a deposit, yes, usually the margin is enough to convince you, but your bid for this round is $20 million, because you are a first-time visitor, your credit is not enough, so you need to prove that you do have the ability to pay, otherwise we are sorry, we will have to cancel your bidding rights." ”

Lu Mingfei didn't speak, and looked at the financial manager coldly.

The financial manager smiled implicitly: "Please be sure to assist us, temporarily take off your headphones and microphones, it is a matter of your financial security and our credit, and the conversation between us needs to be confidential." ”

Lu Mingfei took off the headset and put it in the tray next to him, and now he was going to start fighting alone.

"Thank you for your cooperation, there have been some malicious customers in the past, arranging some newcomers in the venue to raise the price, they actually have no ability to pay, but it seriously affects the fairness of the auction." "You just need to prove your ability to pay, for example by providing us with your other accounts." ”

After speaking, the financial manager opened the suitcase and pushed it in front of Lu Mingfei, which was an electronic device like a laptop: "Please enter your account number and password at the Bank of Zurich." ”

Lu Mingfei typed in the password as he said, and after a few seconds, the account balance popped up on the LCD screen, "$2,000,000.00", which was originally a huge amount of money, but now it can't prove anything, here, this number is too insignificant, Lu Mingfei heard a low laugh.

"We have a lot of authority at the Bank of Zurich, and we can see that your balance is really only two million dollars." The financial manager still had that constant smile on his face.

At this time, another auctioneer's assistant walked in quickly, lowered his voice and said to the financial manager: "No. 88 means that the price will be increased to 50 million!" ”

"50 million?" The financial manager was stunned and whispered, "But there is no one to bid with her anymore!" ”

"Who says no one?" Lu Mingfei raised his head, and there was a smile on his face, but his eyes didn't look at people, and they were hollow and hairy.

The financial manager frowned: "Sir, unless you can provide a new account with enough money to prove yourself." ”

"You have a high level of authority at the Bank of Zurich? Can I see my client's account balance? Lu Mingfei smiled and said word by word, "Then after this time, I will no longer consider the services of this bank." ”

"You're laughing ugly." Lu Mingfei said, "Now, let me enter the password again." ”

Sometimes Lu Mingfei feels that he has to admire the little devil's ability to predict things, and what he said seems to have nothing that should not be fulfilled, making it difficult to know whether it is really foreknowledge or that he is manipulating everything behind the scenes.

"Show me the money", this cheat code can make Lu Mingfei prostitute 10,000 US dollars for nothing, which can be reused, so Lu Mingfei added a line of "*10000" at the back when he typed this string of cheat codes, far more than 10,000 US dollars, he wants to prostitute 100 million for nothing!

He clicked the confirm button and pushed the remote device, which was directly connected to the Bank of Zurich, back. He stilted Erlang's legs, and the smile on his face was infinitely arrogant.
