Chapter 97: Mermaid
"Jewelry, antiques, equipment, weapons, skill cards... These items look quite normal."
After reading the list of auction items, Cheng Ke couldn't help but wonder if the information he had deliberately collected before was wrong.
Unfortunately, Gu Mi broke her suspicions in the next moment.
"You flip the booklet over."
Because there were so many lots, the list was made into an illustrated booklet for people to read.
Cheng Ke listened to Gu Mi's words, turned the whole booklet in his hand upside down, and turned it forward from the back, only to see that the auction items on the top were completely different from the previous ones.
"Offensive defensive buildings, architectural blueprints, taboo potions, broken territory cores..." are all contraband.
There are even slaves of various races on it.
It confirmed the accuracy of Cheng Ke's previous intelligence.
But she would rather her information was wrong than to see this kind of wanton buying and selling of people as goods happen right under her nose.
This is not a pejorative Madonna, but the most basic moral conscience of life.
"Can I make trouble?"
Cheng Ke's words were suppressed into a very low voice, if it wasn't for Gu Mi's proximity, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hear them.
She shook her head gently under the disappointing gaze of the other party: "The guards here are too strong, I can't keep you."
Indeed, for the survivors, Gu Mi was so powerful that it disconnected everyone.
But her current strength is placed in the world, but she can only barely rank in the middle, far from reaching the ranks of top experts.
As for the guards in this auction hall, from what Gu Mi could perceive, there were five or more rank sixty powerhouses.
If it is only one, she still has the confidence to win. If the two are desperate, maybe they can win at the cost of serious injuries. She can escape with three, but four or five is far beyond Gu Mi's current situation. range of strength.
If she was in her previous life, she would naturally not put them in her eyes.
It is a pity that her rebirth time in this life is still too short, and her strength recovery is insufficient, so in such a situation, she can only be honest.
After all, she's not alone anymore.
She has to be responsible for the people who follow her.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome your distinguished guests to our auction under Parlun. I am the auctioneer of this auction, Medelke. Next, please allow me to ask you to introduce the first lot of this auction- —Orange equipment, Hurricane Shield."
"Hurricane Shield (Orange): A shield with the power of the hurricane. The shield comes with a yellow-level skill, Small Hurricane. After equipment, the defense 120, the strength 10, and the attack power increase. 5%."
Medelke directly displayed the attribute value of the Hurricane Shield, so that everyone could see its specific data.
To be honest, this is a decent piece of equipment, but it is far inferior to any of the orange-level giant elephant suits on Gu Mi.
Although her giant elephant suit doesn't have its own skills, the giant elephant suit is just a belt, which can give Gu Mi a 20% increase in attack power, not to mention a 50% increase in defense and strength.
This is much more powerful than any yellow-level skills.
So she had no interest in the lot, just as a spectator, watching other people make crazy bids to compete for it.
The auction low price of the Hurricane Shield was 50,000 copper coins, and it was finally sold for 270,000 copper coins.
Obviously, this price made the auctioneer Medelke somewhat dissatisfied.
Therefore, after the next auction item was brought up, he promoted and encouraged it more vigorously, and also attached psychological hints to stimulate people's desire to compete, so that the transaction price of the auction item was much higher than its original market price.
Feeling a little quiet beside him, Gu Mi couldn't help turning his head, but seeing Cheng Kezheng was looking attentively with a serious look, as if he was preparing for a graduate student.
This is... studying?
Then she won't be bothered.
Turning around, Gu Mi watched the auction as a play, while waiting patiently for the item he wanted to appear.
Finally, in the middle and late stages of the auction, when much anticipation, Medelke revealed one of the finale lots sent by Miss Manners with an elegant smile.
--blueprint!
The audience was silent for a moment, and even Gu Mi sat up slightly.
She knew that architectural drawings would appear in this auction, but she didn't know what architectural drawings would appear. The only thing she knew was that the architectural drawings were definitely not ordinary.
After all, there is no need for ordinary goods to be secretly auctioned here.
Therefore, it must be a drawing of a building that is not allowed to be circulated on the market. As for what it is, it should be revealed in the next moment.
Medelke, who was well aware of the marketing strategy, did not immediately introduce the auction materials, but instead made a plausible statement, and only made the auction truly debut after quenching the appetite of the guests.
"The next item we are going to auction is the architectural drawings of the Renzhu Arrow Tower!"
Along with the passionate words, what was displayed was not the construction materials of the architectural drawings, but the architectural information of the Renzhu Arrow Tower.
"Renju Arrow Tower (Intermediate Building)
Range: 500 meters.
Attack: 1200
Introduction: An offensive building that can automatically lock on enemies within the range, and shoot arrows continuously and quickly, one round per second, five arrows per round, which can cause high damage to multiple enemies.
Durability: 200 (damage can consume basic resources and copper coins to repair)
Arrow storage: 100 units of wood.
Note: One unit of wood can be converted into 100 arrows. " As
expected of a building that was a mid-level building when it was built, Gu Mi was envious of the superiority of the properties of the cannonballs. I
couldn't wait to bid it up.
As long as they can successfully buy the architectural drawings, they don't care. It was a waste of time.
Seeing the scorching gazes from the ground with satisfaction, Medelke knew that the time had come, and he did not delay any longer, and immediately said: "I believe that all distinguished guests have seen the value of this architectural drawing. So now, the base price is 800 gold coins, and each increase should not be less than 50 gold coins, please start bidding! "
"850 gold coins!" "
"900 gold coins!" "
950..."
...
The money in gold coins is converted into copper coins, and you have to add 10,000 to the back. That is to say, the initial price of this architectural drawing is 8 million copper coins, which is staggeringly high.
However, these The bidders didn't think of money as money, and they did not hesitate to bid wildly. In just a few minutes, the price was pushed up to 8,000 gold coins, which is ten times more
! It didn't stop.
Gu Mi has never made a bid, because he knows that bidding is meaningless now, and he will only join in the cycle of constantly stacking prices, which is a waste of words. It
is better to wait for the price to be raised to a certain extent. After some people gave up the competition, they came back in.
Fortunately, the time came soon.
After crossing the hurdle of 10,000 gold coins, the voices still bidding decreased significantly. Many people were frightened back to their senses by the super high price. They knew that they could not grab it and could only regret it.
The remaining few people are still holding on to their luck.
But this insistence was turned into foam in the water when a voice from the box upstairs appeared, and it shattered with a poke.
"Fifty thousand gold coins."
This figure easily doubled the price of more than 20,000 gold coins.
That's an exorbitant price.
Even Gu Mi couldn't help but look back in surprise.
Want to see who is so stupid with a lot of money?
How much is fifty thousand gold coins?
That's 500 million copper coins!
If it is given to Gu Mi, she can use it to raise the entire economy of the territory!
It is precisely because of this conversion that Gu Mi, who originally wanted to bid, calmed down.
She thought carefully, is it worth it to buy a blueprint of an intermediate building with more than 50,000 gold coins?
A little bit of a bargain, but also some unnecessary.
This kind of cost-effectiveness is similar to a small discount like online shopping and free shipping, and their territory does not necessarily require this architectural drawing. In comparison, 50,000 gold coins may be more useful for the development of the territory.
If that's the case, then she doesn't need to join in the fun.
After thinking about it, Gu Mi put down the bidding card he just raised, and continued to be a quiet spectator.
Noticing her movement, Cheng Ke cast an inquiring look, and Gu Mi shook her head slightly, indicating that she did not want to bid.
Seeing this, Cheng Ke didn't say anything, and turned his head back again.
In the end, this architectural drawing was bid for 75,000 by the guests in the other box, so angry that the first bidder was very angry at the yin and yang of others.
But who told him not to have enough money?
So you can only choose to give up reluctantly.
After the architectural drawings were successfully auctioned at a super high price, Medelke seemed very satisfied. With a smile on his face, he asked the hostess to take down the auction items that had already been auctioned, and then presented the next auction item.
The next auction item is clearly a big one.
The hostesses couldn't lift it, but four masked strong men carried them up laboriously.
Vaguely, Gu Mi seemed to hear the sound of water swaying.
"Dear guests, please allow me to introduce the next auction item to you."
With a mysterious smile on his lips, Medelke walked to the rectangular auction item covered with a layer of red velvet cloth, and put his hand It landed on the corner of the silk cloth and yanked it down sharply.
There was an uproar!
"That's..." Cheng Ke straightened his back instantly, his eyes widened in astonishment.
"The merman." Gu Mi's face darkened slightly, and he opened his mouth to reveal the identity of this 'auction item'.
Sure enough, what should come will still come, but she did not expect that the one auctioned as a slave today is actually an extremely rare merman.
Also, in an auction of this size, ordinary slaves are not qualified to go on stage.
But this kind of behavior...
still makes people feel very angry.
Unlike Gu Mi, all the guests in the audience were boiling with excitement the moment the merman appeared.
"The merman! It's actually the legendary merman!"
"In a word, I want to get her!"
"Hehe, I haven't tasted the merman yet, if I can photograph her..."
...
Different words sounded one after another, but all of them were coveted and greedy for the merman slaves, completely revealing the dark side of human nature.
Like the venue downstairs, the guests in the box upstairs were also excited about the appearance of the merman.
After all, being able to own a legendary species as a slave is a face-saving thing to say, and it is a reflection of their status and wealth.
