Chapter 267: Bidding for Icebreaker Techniques
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Golden Star Auction House. This time, we have gathered materials, equipment, alchemy techniques, and the best treasures from all over the sky and sea of clouds, just to be able to meet your requirements!"
Covered by several interlocking magic alarm arrays, defensive arrays, and tracking arrays, and protected by a large number of masters, a top auctioneer of the Venus Auction House slowly walked up to the stage after raising the curtain and made a concise opening speech.
The handsome male dark elf in a tuxedo bowed respectfully before revealing a charming professional smile and continued, "Of course, you must have already seen the list of lots in this auction and are interested in some of the items on it. However, what I want to say is that there are more than these auction items in this auction! In addition to the mysterious priceless treasure at the end, the Venus Auction House has also prepared many surprises for you! Let's take the lead in opening with surprises!"
With the words of the dark elf auctioneer, the maids on the side held out the first auction item with exquisite trays.
This is an auction item that is not stated on the list of lots, but it is an extremely eye-catching lot.
A vial of Ice Blood Elixir.
As long as you drink a little bit of this medicine before upgrading, then when you level up, the professional will be able to have more perception, so that the improvement of physical fitness will be more than the general upgrade. And a bottle of potion can be drunk dozens of times in total, and the cumulative increase it can bring is almost equivalent to a whole level of difference!
Think about it, you are also level 60, but your physical fitness has reached level 61, a whole grade higher than the opponent of the same level, what kind of concept is this?
Not only that, since the name has the word "ice" in it, then ice-based professions, such as ice freezers, will naturally be able to absorb the medicinal power more fully and get a greater boost!
In the sky and the sea of clouds, the strength is the foundation that determines everything, and among the strength, compared to the external strength such as equipment, it is the level and quality that are the most important.
There is no doubt that under this cognition, this bottle of ice blood elixir can definitely cause everyone to scramble.
And under the atmosphere of the auctioneer, the potions that were not on the list but were extremely eye-catching, really caused a burst of restlessness in the box, and even Midi was a little surprised.
This auction is really a big deal, and in order to mobilize the atmosphere, I actually took out all the items that are enough to be used as the finale in ordinary auctions.
This not only reflects the value of the Ice Beads, but also illustrates the heritage of the Venus Auction House.
It seems that it would be good to cooperate with such a powerful force and sell the materials in the Great Storm Zone.
Midi was in her heart, and secretly began to evaluate.
And in the auction hall, it has begun to get a little hot.
"This bottle of ice blood elixir starts at 10,000 crystals!" the Dark Elf auctioneer said loudly.
10,000 crystals is definitely not a small amount.
It is important to know that the crystal coin is essentially a spar containing magic power inside, a container for storing energy, which can not only be circulated, but more importantly, can be directly "used". What is the concept of 10,000 crystals? This amount is enough to push a level 1 junior professional to the cap level of 50, and when he awakens, there will still be more than half of them! Or, these crystals can also be directly used as fuel for a fleet of ten large airships to travel several times!
However, as soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, a rich male voice immediately followed without hesitation: "Twenty thousand." ”
The owner of Box 8 directly doubled the price.
"Thirty thousand. Naturally, others do not show weakness but follow up without hesitation.
"Forty thousand! I want to see who dares to carry it on. ”
A huge number that ordinary people couldn't imagine was thrown out, accompanied by some ridicule and threats, and soon, the atmosphere in the auction hall became extremely enthusiastic, and at the end, this bottle of ice blood elixir was sold at a price of as high as 80,000 crystal coins.
This figure is basically enough to maintain an air combat fleet for a year.
But that's just the beginning.
Although the next few auction items did not fetch such a high price, they were all considered high-quality, so within the scope of rationality, there was still a fierce competition that continued to rise.
And every once in a while, the Venus Auction House will release an auction item that is not on the list, and this auction item is either quality, function, or rarity, which is already quite good on top of the usual auction items, which can indeed be called a "surprise".
As a result, the atmosphere of the auction was always warm and intense, and not only that, but there were also some expectations that are rarely seen in the big names. As a result, the price of each auction item remains high, not necessarily beyond its own value, but it will never be sold at a low price or in the form of an unsuccessful auction.
Even if it is Midi, I have to sigh sincerely at this moment, this Venus Auction House is not only powerful and profound, but also obviously, in terms of business skills, it is also first-class.
In the end, how many crystals will that Ice Spirit Bead sell for?
Midi couldn't help but look forward to it slightly.
Soon, though, he turned his attention back to the auction – in normal order, the icebreaker was the next lot.
"Gentlemen and ladies, please allow me to introduce the next auction item, the firing needle ice breaking technique! This technique is mainly used in airships, as long as this technique can be added to the design, then the airship will have a powerful ice-breaking ability! In addition, according to our appraisal, from the results of the results, the ice-breaking speed that this ice-breaking technique can achieve is more than ten times that of the most common steam-type ice-breaking technique in the sea of clouds!"
The Dark Elf auctioneer said loudly, and at the same time, holographic magic illusions were used in the field to demonstrate over and over again the performance of the icebreaker airship using this technique.
Not only that, but there are several non-key formulas that are spread directly on the table and magnified enough to be seen by the VIPs in every box, in order to prove the authenticity of this technique.
It's just that Midi didn't look at those formulas at all - although under the influence of Master Norton and Wells, Midi's own alchemy has also gained a certain degree of attainment, but after all, it has not reached the point where he can distinguish the high and low at a glance, and he is still only half-, in this case, what else to see?
As for the hologram, Midi only glanced at it a few times.
Originally, according to his inference, this ice-breaking technique was not enough to deal with the harsh environment of the ice cloud circle, but now that he has seen it with his own eyes, it is just a confirmation.
What Midi really wanted was to take the opportunity to touch the melon along the vine, and in this case, he didn't care so much about whether the vine was good or bad.
However, the next sentence of the Dark Elf auctioneer made his eyes light up suddenly.
"In addition, there is also a small surprise about this icebreaker technique, that is, the provider of this technique is willing to communicate with the buyer in person!" the auctioneer spat and blew wildly, "Although it is impossible to reveal the identity of the provider, the Venus Auction House can make a guarantee here, with the support of the inventor of the technique, this technique will definitely be fully blessed to your airship!"
To put it simply, this technique comes with after-sales guidance.
For ordinary people, this is indeed just a small surprise, because most of the people who buy the technology are similar to the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, which has the ability to develop their own airships, and it is not a problem to analyze an icebreaker technique. On the contrary, in order to avoid the leakage of their airship research and development skills, some people may not want anyone to "guide" them at all.
But for Midi, this is like a pie falling from the sky, a pillow sent when she is sleepy! If you can meet with the provider of the technique immediately, you can greatly speed up the progress of the plan, and there is no need to go down the vine at all!
It can even be said that what Midi wants to auction is this "little surprise", and it doesn't matter if the technique itself is not necessary.
Good luck.
Midi and Victoria glanced at each other, and in each other's eyes, they could see the relaxation.
Then, the voice of the Dark Elf auctioneer rang out again: "Striker Ice Breaking Technique, starting price, five thousand crystals!"
"Six thousand. ”
"Eight thousand. ”
"Ten thousand. ”
With the beginning of the first bidding, the auction price of the icebreaker technique also began to rise little by little. It's just that the amplitude is not obvious, and the speed is not fast.
Obviously, that "little surprise" can't impress most people, and the more important reason is that the audience of the airship improvement technique itself is relatively small, and there are fewer places to use icebreakers, no one has an urgent need for this kind of technique, and some of the potential forces may even just want to use it as a technical reserve, and under this kind of auction mentality, there will naturally not be too fierce competition.
According to Victoria's speculation, this technique can only be sold for about 25,000 crystals.
"Twenty-five thousand crystals. ”
Over time, finally, this price was quoted.
This is the limit price of this icebreaker technique, which can be regarded as a sensational price in a general auction house, but for the Venus Auction House, it is just a small scene like a dessert after dinner.
It was about this time, Midi thought, moving her lips slightly.
"Twenty-eight thousand crystals. ”
This is an offer that goes beyond the limit price, which fully demonstrates the bidder's mentality that the technique is imperative.
But at the same time, this offer is not excessive, it is only more than the limit price of 3,000 crystals, which is obviously telling everyone that although the bidder is bound to win, he is still extremely rational, and there is no doubt that he has his own limit.
Once someone intervenes at this time and deliberately raises the price or competes, the most difficult result is likely to exceed the bottom limit, and they can only eat this technique at a high price.
You must know that although you are either rich or expensive sitting in the box of this Venus auction house, it is impossible to have the kind of gentleman who spends a lot of money.
Here are the most astute businessmen, powerful commissioners, who will do whatever it takes to get what they want, but first, they will make adequate calculations and trade-offs.
And 28,000 crystals happened to be a price that slightly exceeded the bottom limit in the hearts of these shrewd calculators, and they couldn't help but want to give up.
Generally speaking, as long as there is no one like Midi, and the drunkard does not mean to drink, then this asking price will basically not be added any more.
A perfect "closing price".
But unfortunately, it was not Midi who shouted this "final price".
Rather, it came from Box Nine opposite Midi.
