Chapter 23: Involved in the world and not deeply involved in trouble
The old man looked around professionally, the weekly auction had been programmed, and due to the large number of lots, the auctioneers were often just auctioning for work, and there was less passion and incendiaryness.
"The next lot is the spirit crystal of the third-order magical beast Wolverine, as we all know, the stainless steel wolf is an extremely rare number of magical beasts, and there is no Wolverine group living near our Heavenly Sword City. The attribute of the stainless steel wolf is gold, and it is one of the best spirit crystals that can be used at the yellow level, with a reserve price of 20,000 magic crystals, and a price increase of no less than 1,000 magic crystals each time, please bid enthusiastically. β
Lin Wan'er and Du Xijie's eyes lit up at the same time, although they both knew that they were not completely sure that they would take this spirit crystal, but this was an opportunity after all.
The market price of Wolverine's spirit crystal is about 25,000 to 40,000 yuan, Du Xijie took a look at the balance on his savings card, excluding the odd one, there are only 33,000 yuan stones, whether he can successfully win this spirit crystal depends on whether anyone among the auctioneers present has raised the price.
"Twenty-two thousand"
"Twenty Thousand Three"
"Twenty-five thousand"
"Twenty-six thousand"
Wolverine's spirit crystal was quickly called, and the reserve price of the auction was generally slightly lower than the lowest price in the market.
The managers of the business alliance are all old fritters who have worked hard in the shopping mall for many years, how can they make a deal that will make them lose money?
The reserve price is lower than the market price, and people will always increase the price with the psychology of picking up leaks, and the atmosphere of the auction will gradually become hot, and the lot will naturally be able to fetch a good price.
But this trick is not very useful for the yellow character auction house, the yellow character smith belongs to the bottom of the existence of the appraiser, basically no money in hand, most of the people who participate in the auction are purposeful, after all, the gold owner with a background is a minority, it is difficult to have a crazy bidding scene.
As the price reaches the market range, there are gradually fewer people bidding, and the price increase is also somewhat cautious.
Although the supply of spirit crystals exceeds demand, the price fluctuations are still relatively large, and the master mainly cultivates, and no one will hoard Juqi except for merchants for collection.
It seems that there are not many magicians present who cultivate metal spirit weapons, and even fewer choose stainless steel wolf spirit crystals, and when the price reaches 28,000 yuan stones, there is no one to bid anymore, Du Xijie is overjoyed, and thinks: It seems that today's luck is extremely haode.
Twenty-eight thousand, is there any price increase?
Twenty-eight thousand for the second time, is there anyone else who wants it?
The auctioneer didn't want to stop at all, there were many lots behind him, just a small auction, so why bother so much thought.
Of the 29,000 rough stones, I will produce 29,000 rough stones.
The auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, and then Du Xijie raised the price, pretending to be very determined.
Du Xijie's sudden increase in price only made the auctioneer pause slightly, he had been in a similar situation many times, so he naturally wouldn't be surprised.
The auctioneer looked around and said, "Twenty-nine thousand yuan stones, and there is no one to increase the price." β
No one responded at the scene.
The auctioneer didn't hesitate and directly began to count down: "Twenty-nine thousand yuan stones once, twenty-nine thousand yuan stones for the second time." β
But I never thought that today's auctioneers seem to be very enthusiastic.
Just when Du Xijie was already in his chest and regarded the Wolverine Spirit Crystal as his bag, a voice came from the No. 1 VIP room of the auction hall.
30,000 stones!
It was a female voice who spoke, and listening to the voice, it should not be very old.
Many people all looked back in the direction of the sound source, but it was impossible to see the people in the box.
Everyone is just a spectator, and the price is not ridiculously high, there should not be such a big reaction.
The reason why everyone turned back was just curiosity.
Most of the regular auctions do not have VIPs present, VIP rooms are generally empty, and the wind is blowing from nowhere, and there are people in VIP room No. 1, but I don't know which side shili belongs to.
There are no stars in this shijie, and those who are powerful become stars.
But curiosity always has a limit, and everyone doesn't have the ability to distinguish things through the wall, so naturally they can't see who is in the VIP room, and they all turn around.
31,000 rough stones!
Hey!
It seems that there is a lot of fun today, and everyone listens to it.
Although this is Du Xijie's first time participating in the auction, he has also heard some things about the auction from Jian Hanyun.
Auctions are not a price bargain, but also skillful.
Du Xijie initially chose to bid at the end of the hammer, which is called in the jargon: pressing sound.
The words try to give people the feeling of a great deal of determination, in order to confuse the public and fish in troubled waters.
Now that someone suddenly participated in the bidding, Du Xijie immediately increased the price, and his words were eager but confident, which was called: exclamation.
The aim is to give the impression of imminent victory, in the hope of scaring away competitors.
But after all, this is only superficial knowledge, and the reality will always be a little different.
What Du Xijie lacks is an understanding of worldly human feelings.
There are few VIPs present at the regular auction, but once there is, then few people dare to bid with the people in the VIP room, and they will sell the "big guys" a face.
Du Xijie naturally didn't know this kind of unspoken rule, although his palms were sweating, he pretended to be calm, and all he thought about was: I must take this magic crystal.
The eyes of everyone looking at the monster were ignored by Du Xijie's gorgeous eyes, and now Du Xijie is acting a good show, looking confident, but he didn't see the strangeness in everyone's eyes.
Although the auction advertises a fair and just transaction, there are still unspoken rules, and generally those who dare to bid with VIPs must be a certain VIP, but I never thought that there would be such a stunned young man as Du Xijie.
If it's a special invitation auction, the lounges are full, and even if there are bidders, it will be considered normal behavior. But now that it's a routine auction, it's unclear whether Du Xijie's behavior will be seen as a provocation by the people in the VIP room.
Almost at the moment when Du Xijie said the price, the voice in the VIP room came out again.
Thirty-two thousand!
Du Xijie didn't want to return immediately: I gave out 33,000 yuan stones!
33,000 rough stones is already Du Xijie's highest bid, and if the price is higher, Du Xijie will not be able to afford it, but his expression will naturally pretend to be full of confidence.
The spectators can't see clearly now, which side of Du Xijie is the son of the big shili who has traveled here, or is he just a chick who doesn't understand anything?
The auctioneer was also stunned, although he had never seen this kind of thing, he rarely saw it.
After a short time, the auctioneer's professionalism was still very high, and he was stunned for a moment before continuing: "This son bid for 33,000 rough stones, is there any higher?"
33,000 yuan stones at a time.
Thirty-three thousand yuan stones for the second time.
Hmph! 50,000 Yuan Stones!
There was a sound in the VIP room, and the audience gasped.
This VIP actually increased the price to 50,000 yuan stones in one go, even if he has money, it is not a strong wind, which is already too much higher than the highest price in the market.
The people in the VIP room would do this to prove that she was angry, very angry at Du Xijie's lifting of the bar.
There is something more important than money in the circles of the major shili, and that is face!
Face can be big or small, and when the strength is invincible, face can be put in your pocket, and you can be a person with a hippie smile and a tail between them. If you can suppress it, you need to crush the opponent with the momentum of the wind and waves, which will attract people's attention.
Du Xijie was also taken aback by the sudden price of 50,000 yuan stones, but due to his lack of experience in the world, he didn't realize that he had offended people. I was only annoyed in my heart, how did I meet a local tyrant who spent money indiscriminately today, it was really a back, and it seemed that I could only return empty-handed.
There was no suspense that this Wolverine's spirit crystal was bought by the people in VIP Room 1 above the market price.
After the interlude, it didn't take long for the auction to continue.
The appearance of a second Wolverine spirit crystal in Du Xijie's prayer did not happen, and the auction ended successfully with the sale of one of Zuihou's lots.
After paying the bill in the background, Du Xijie got the Mithril and Fat Gold from the previous auction and walked out of the auction hall with Lin Wan'er.
"It's really back, it seems that you have to wait a little longer," Du Xijie said to Lin Wan'er.
Lin Wan'er took Du Xijie's hand and smiled and comforted: "Brother, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's not in a hurry, and if you don't refine the spirit soldier, it won't affect the speed of cultivation." β
Usually busy with cultivation, either meditating or going out to practice, seeing that it was still early, the brother and sister decided to go to the city to find a restaurant to have a good meal.
But I don't want to be stopped at this time.
