The next day, before the auction started, Xiao Zhi and Teague entered the auction venue through the secret door in the lounge.
Because of Xiao Zhi's special need to remain anonymous, this passage was exclusive to him and led directly to a private room in the venue without anyone disturbing him along the way.
A magic barrier is set up in the private room. People inside can see the outside world, but people outside cannot peek into the situation inside, and even the sounds inside cannot be heard.
In order to ensure the privacy of the guests, there is also no waiter in the private room, and only a delicate bell is placed on the table. When the guests inside have needs, they only need to ring the bell, and a waiter will come to the small cubicle outside the private room to ask the guests their needs.
The bidding is completed through the magic crystal board on the desktop, which also does not require human assistance. It also provides an advance limit of 3 million, which is extremely considerate.
This is the first time Xiao Zhi has experienced this level of appearance, and he can't help but sigh, the life of a big boss is probably so simple and boring.
He walked to the window and looked down. The window of the private room faced the auction table, and the view was extremely good.
There were already many people sitting down in the spacious hall below. They came from all over the mainland.
In addition to the Xiyue and Human tribes, there were also the Wood Spirit Tribe and the Orc Tribe. There were also some who could not be seen clearly in their cloaks. Judging from the occasional bit of pale skin that was exposed, Xiao Zhi guessed that they might be the undead from Heisen.
Xiao Zhi also saw the players among them. They each had a book in their hands and looked very serious. But Xiao Zhi knew from the look of the book that these guys were either making fun of the world or the water forum.
He also took out his address book, and sure enough, today's World Channel has been occupied by the auction.
"I just asked a ticket scalper, and an invitation actually cost me 300,000 yuan! Why didn't he grab it!!"
"Don't be fooled, the ticket must be fake. I spent 600,000 yuan in the store to get it. "The invitation letter arrived."
"I worship the rich, but poverty has blocked me from the door of the auction..."
"I blindly guessed that the scalper was from the Xiyue Clan
+1"
"Ahhh, I really want to. Find a rich woman to show me the auction!" "The rich woman said: Get lost, you are so ugly that it
affects her game experience."
"I am live broadcasting the [Xinghai Auction], everyone is welcome to watch [link]. "Thank you, boss
, for giving me the opportunity to experience the cloud
! +1"
"Thank you, boss, for giving me the opportunity to experience the cloud! +2"
...
Soon after, the auction officially started. .
The auctioneer wearing the dress of the Xiyue tribe stepped onto the auction stage. After giving a welcome speech, the auction items were released one after another.
The Xinghai Auction is indeed the grandest auction in the entire continent. The people on stage are all treasure-level, from weapons and equipment to rare materials, even antiques and mysterious items, all of them appear on the stage.
Each auction item will cause a commotion in the player's world channel. With the help of the address book, the players have become the most enthusiastic race on the continent to participate in the auction.
Of course, from the perspective of an onlooker - today's Athanasi people are also laughing strangely at the book.
The Athanasi are indeed the most difficult race to understand on the continent.
Xiao Zhi looked at the auction site below and at the water world of the players, feeling a sense of fun watching.
Teague, however, took the opportunity to lean against the window, recording the information and prices of the lots while observing the various interpersonal relationships below, probably preparing for the next fraud.
When he is a liar, he is also very serious.
After a while, a new auction item appeared on the market, and Xiao Zhi diverted his attention from the players' flirtatious remarks and looked towards the stage.
What appeared was a bright red staff. This staff was made of some kind of gem. The whole staff looked crystal clear, and there seemed to be lava flowing inside.
It was obvious that this was a staff made of fire-based materials.
The auctioneer introduced: "The fire staff Soul Chaser is made of Uradis Flame Crystal and is a masterpiece of the orc weapon master Balu Qiang. It is not only stronger than metal, but also resistant to high temperatures and is resistant to fire. The spell has a 5% damage bonus, and comes with exclusive attack effects."
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but get excited when they heard Baluqiang's name.
He was a legendary weapons master who had made weapons for many strong men in his life. It could be said that everyone who held the weapons he made eventually became a giant.
But after the brief excitement, doubts arose in the hearts of all the well-informed bosses present.
But it's still early for the auction to end. How can Master Balu's works be qualified to be placed in the last three important positions? Why are you showing up now?
The auctioneer continued: "But unfortunately, Master Balu was not able to complete this work. He unfortunately died when he went to the Changyue Desert to search for rare materials. It has been a hundred years since then."
Everyone in the audience just said this. Understand, it turns out to be a semi-finished product, no wonder it cannot occupy the most critical position.
Xiao Zhi looked at the Soul Chaser. The item description was as follows:
Soul Chaser (semi-finished product)
one-handed staff.
Usage level: 140.
Spell attack power: 1423——? ? ?
Physical attack power: 1786——? ? ?
Attack range +2
mana concentration speed +5
fire spell damage bonus: 5%——? ? ?
Attack effect: Randomly triggers the special effect "Chasing Soul", the skill power is increased by 100%, the range is increased by 20%, and lasts for 30 seconds.
Description: The last work of Master Balu, but unfortunately it was not completely completed and needs secondary processing. Please explore the processing method yourself.
In ZERO, ordinary weapons only have a dry attack power. Don't even think about things like knowing, hitting, breaking defense, critical hits, and casting speed in the era of keyboard online games.
Want to increase damage? Just hit the target's vitals yourself.
Want to increase your spellcasting speed? Please practice it yourself.
Want to improve your hit? Please practice it yourself.
Want to hit a burst of fire? Please practice it yourself.
Judging from the attributes alone, Soul Chaser is indeed a masterpiece, especially the accompanying soul chasing special effects.
On the continent of Dazemenya, there are very few weapons with special effects, and only those at the top can possess them. As for spell damage bonus, mana concentration speed, and attack range bonus, these are configurations that only top weapons can have.
But for soul chasers, its current position is awkward.
It has the attributes of a high-end weapon, but only has an attack power of 140 levels. Even because of the solid material, the physical attack power exceeds the magic attack, so it is quite easy to swing people.
What's even more embarrassing is that the powerful master Balu has passed away and can no longer improve the soul chasers.
Xiao Zhi believes that the previous owner of the Soul Chaser must have made many attempts, hoping to turn it into a truly top-level weapon, but the fact that the Soul Chaser appears here now means that the attempts must have failed.
As a low-level weapon, its price is too high and ordinary adventurers cannot afford it. As a high-level weapon, it falls short, making the bosses feel useless.
But Xiao Zhi's eyes were bright, and this was the weapon he needed now.
The staff he is currently using is level 50, with an attack power of less than 300. Now he is trapped in the game and cannot leave. In order to ensure his own survival, he urgently needs to become stronger quickly.
Hidden missions were rare, and he didn't think he would encounter another one right away. Then, getting a powerful weapon is the best choice to increase your combat power in a short period of time.
The low-level but powerful soul chaser was just right for him. As for the money issue...
He still had a lot of 770,000 for the materials he had sold before, and the room came with an advance of 3 million, plus he was very interested in himself. I am very confident in the items I put out, and money is really not an issue.
Xiao Zhi is no longer the poor man who evaded fares by carrying Qianyewu in order to save 800 Jinbei.
As for the soul chaser's upgrade problem, as a player, he has a huge source of information like the forum, so it will definitely be easier to solve than the aborigines.
It really doesn't work... After he has a new weapon, he can ask Teague to sell it to wealthy players who are stupid and have a lot of money...
The relationship between players has always been plastic.
The auctioneer announced the start of the bidding: "The soul chaser's staff from the powerful master Balu, the base price is 500,000 gold shells."
Many people participating in the auction in the audience thought of the same problem. The native races on the mainland did not He didn't show much enthusiasm for the ghost chasers, just cautiously increasing the price.
The players are different. They probably plan to find clues through the forum, and their enthusiasm for bidding is much higher than that of the native races.
"550,000!"
"600,000!"
"700,000!"
...
The price kept rising and soon reached 1.15 million.
The only people in the two private rooms below are still bidding. Looking at the books in their hands, you can tell that they are two players.
"1.2 million!"
The person in the private room on the left said to the private room on the right after paying the price: "Why are you so kind-hearted? Why are you joining in the fun? Isn't Ruoye Fengfa?"
"1.25 million!"
The one on the right was not to be outdone: "Then you Why are you joining in the fun? Isn't Longinus a swordsman?"
"1.3 million!"
The private room on the left said: "We are not allowed to need anyone else!"
"1.35 million!"
The private room on the right: "We have others. " People need it!"
"1.4 million!"
The private room on the left said, "We're going to make a reservation this time!"
The private room on the right didn't make any more bids, and seemed to be weighing whether to continue to increase the price.
The auctioneer waited for a moment and began to count down: "1.4 million for the first time!"
"1.4 million for the second time! Is there anything higher!"
The box on the left felt that he had a chance to win: "You are as good as water, if you have the ability, keep adding... "
1.5 million."
The voice in the box on the left was interrupted. The offer came not from the other side, but from the stage.
He looked towards the auctioneer. The auctioneer's gaze was directed towards the row of private rooms on the top floor, which were exclusive to powerful men on the mainland. They were the legendary top VIP rooms, also known as the rich woman's happy room.
The bid amount is displayed just below one of the private rooms.
Because of the magic barrier, people below were completely unable to see what was going on inside, and could only see pitch black.
Is this a big boss who has nothing to do and wants to take a semi-finished product home to play with? Do you have a collecting habit?
"Guests from the VIP box bid 1.5 million! Is there any higher bid?"
"1.5 million for the first time!" The auctioneer started counting down.
"Holy shit, boss, are we following?" The player in charge of bidding in the box on the left turned around and asked.
"Go on." The person behind replied.
"1.55 million!"
"1.7 million."
"1.75 million!"
"2 million."
The box on the left obviously hesitated and did not immediately increase the price.
At this time, the box on the right finally found the fun: "Why don't you continue with the God of War? If you have the ability, keep adding~"
"2.1 million..." The box on the left still gritted his teeth and bid.
"3 million."
The player responsible for bidding said: "..."
The other party seems to be not short of money. How to play this? Can't you save a little bit of face for them?
"3 million for the first time!"
"3 million for the second time! Is there any more?"
The private room on the left was silent and finally stopped increasing the price.
"Three million for the third time! Congratulations to this distinguished guest for winning the Soul Chaser!"
Applause broke out in the hall, and everyone looked towards the private room on the top floor. Although they could not see anything, it did not affect their curiosity. .
The bidder was of course Xiao Zhi. After taking the soul chaser, he no longer cared about the situation below.
He opened the address book, and sure enough, the two player guilds that had just competed appeared on it. Both parties expressed cordial greetings and sincere blessings regarding the other's performance in the auction just now.
Xiao Zhi ate the melon with great interest. There were people guessing who was in the box, so he even ate his own melon.
Teague on the side couldn't help but whispered: "So you are so rich..."
Xiao Zhi didn't even raise his head: "It's just so so."
Teague said tentatively: "I also have an investment project here, specifically for All kinds of rich people—"
Teague's voice paused because Xiao Zhi raised his staff.
Forget it, let's study whether there are any fat sheep down there. Teague decisively recognized the reality.
·
Finally arrived at the last item.
At every Xinghai auction, the final auction items will set off a frenzy across the continent.
Everyone present today is also looking forward to its appearance. The hall is quiet, and the players present are no longer making fun of the world.
"Now, let me solemnly introduce to you the last item of today's auction, a dress made by Miyuki, a master of Athanasian design six hundred years ago - the Heart of Winter."
There was an uproar in the audience.
Because Miyuki's name is still resounding in the Dazemenya continent to this day, everything with her name has been auctioned for sky-high prices.
In aristocratic circles in various countries, there is a saying that "if you don't collect Miyuki's works, you don't deserve to be a noble." After this statement spread, Miyuki's fame once again reached a peak.
However, most of them are jewelry that have been passed down to this day. Fragile items like dresses, even if they are carefully preserved, will have already become dilapidated after six hundred years.
Unless... someone is willing to use the Shadow of Time, a magic circle that slows down the flow of time, to preserve it, but will anyone really be so extravagant? Such a big investment just for a dress?
After a while, the Heart of Winter was pushed out by the waiter and displayed in front of everyone, making people have to pick up the incredible guess.
This is a pure white dress made of Miyuki's most famous original fabric - Philanthrope. It is said that Felansha uses hundreds of materials, and the production techniques are only known by Miyuki himself. They have been lost and cannot be reproduced.
The design of the dress is extremely exquisite, every line seems to be in the right place, and every decoration seems to be there originally. It is that feeling of being too complicated and too simple that makes it attract the attention of everyone just by appearing quietly in front of everyone.
Moreover, it looked brand new, as if Miyuki had just sewn it, without any tarnish from time.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhi showed a satisfied smile. Everyone who had used it said that the storage effect of the player's backpack was good.
This dress was not bought by Xiao Zhi himself, but as an unexpected gain from killing a cub. He was not sure why the bear-like man who asked him for PK wanted to collect such dreamy dresses.
All the ladies went crazy.
In the world of ladies, a piece of clothing represents more than just a piece of clothing.
Obviously, whoever gets it will have the top lineup this year. This is not only their personal face, but also represents the glory of the family behind them. It is an excellent opportunity to show their financial resources and expand their reputation.
The tycoons among the players were also excited. They even understood the value of the word Miyuki better than the NPCs in the game, because this person had fallen off the horse a long time ago, and her reputation in the real world was by no means inferior to that in the game.
Maybe this is called "your uncle will always be your uncle".
·
The players were in a commotion, and the world channel scrolled wildly, making it almost impossible to see what they were saying.
"If my great-great-great-grandmother had bought one more Miyuki dress back then, my family would now have a room with a Milky Way view!!!"
"This is some boss's family heirloom! Did you inherit it from your elders? ?"
"Hey, why don't my elders have such a good vision!"
"My family started playing ZERO from my great-great-grandfather's generation. Unfortunately, Miyuki had already passed away at that time, and her works were hard to find. "
·
In another top-level box.
Duke Sharona looked at her hand: "What a treacherous guy."
In her hand lay quietly the brooch that Xiao Zhi had given her before. This brooch and the Heart of Winter on the auction table below were obviously the same. The same style, they are all works from Miyuki, there is no more suitable combination than them.
No wonder this meeting gift was given so generously.
Duke Sharona showed a playful smile: "Men who are a little careful are more adorable."
She turned to her subordinates and ordered: "Be sure to take pictures."
·
"Master Miyuki's out-of-print dress-Winter Heart of Winter, the starting price is 5 million!"
Almost as soon as the auctioneer announced the start of the bidding, the price of Heart of Winter soared so fast that the auctioneer had no time to call out the price.
It crossed the 10 million mark within 10 seconds.
Then, 20 million, 30 million, 40 million...
the auction gathered the rich and powerful from all over the continent. The big guys who were not short of money grabbed a lot of money and pushed the price up in less than a minute. 100 million.
However, the pace of rising numbers has not stopped and is still rising.
Those who entered the finals were all from the top-level boxes, and the people below watched as the quotes for these rooms continued to appear, as if the currency they used was Chinese cabbage instead of Jinbei.
Compared with them, Xiao Zhi bought a half-finished staff for 3 million and was simply running a household frugally.
The bidding gradually slowed down, and finally, Heart of Winter's bid stopped at 160 million.
"160 million for the first time, can anyone come up with a higher price?"
"160 million for the second time -"
"160 million for the third time! Transaction! Congratulations to this distinguished guest for winning the Heart of Winter!" Everyone
in the audience Crazy applause erupted, and Duke Sharona in the box slowly raised her lips. In the following social season, she had new bargaining chips.
The last lot was successfully sold, and this year's Xinghai Auction came to a successful conclusion. As usual, the auctioneer who presides over the auction stands on the stage to express his gratitude to the guests and welcome them to come again next time.
But at this moment, some people in the audience behaved a little strangely.
Xiao Zhi noticed that some people who were obviously players looked very excited. While they were opening their address books, they were talking excitedly to the people next to them, and some were even ready to stand up.
Such behavior is very abnormal. According to the tradition of Xinghai Auction, there will be banquets and performances after the auction, which is an excellent opportunity to get close to various big shots. No one will be in a hurry to leave at this time.
Xiao Zhi imitated them and opened the address book, wanting to see what news made them so excited.
It suddenly flashed on the World Channel:
"Hessian Lord appears in Changyue Desert!! It seems that a new exploration dungeon has been opened!!!"
Exploration dungeon, a form of dungeon in ZERO, will only appear once and can accommodate everyone at the same time. When people enter, it is almost synonymous with getting rich overnight.
Experience, equipment, hidden tasks, limited props, rare materials, lost skill scrolls...each of them is a word that makes players crazy. Not only players, but all races on the continent can hardly resist such temptation.
Xiao Zhi's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
