After listening to the auctioneer's words, Richard looked at the seven books that the waiter put on the tray and brought them to him, his eyes flashing.
The price of 70 low-grade crystal coins is not high, it is lower than the price of the stunning woman before. In this case…
Richard raised his hand and prepared to raise the auction sign to make a bid. After all, this was his purpose for coming to the auction.
As a result, just as the auction sign was halfway up, someone next to me heard the price: "70 low-grade crystal coins!"
"72 low-grade crystal coins!"
"74 low-grade crystal coins!"
“…”
…
"80 low-grade crystal coins!"
Obviously, he is not the only one interested in these cultural relics and books. In this case...
Richard held up a sign: "82 low-grade crystal coins!"
"Guest No. 48 quoted 82 low-grade gold coins!" the auctioneer shouted seriously, "82 low-grade crystal coins at once! Is there any higher bid? Well, guest No. 70 quoted 84 low-grade crystal coins..."
"86 low-grade crystal coins!"
"88 low-grade crystal coins!"
“…”
"96 inferior crystal coins!"
"Guest No. 48 quoted 96 low-grade crystal coins!" The auctioneer shouted again seriously, "96 low-grade crystal coins once! Is there any higher bid? Well, customer No. 120 quoted 98 low-grade crystal coins. …”
"100 inferior crystal coins!" Richard raised a sign and offered.
Richard's strategy at this time is very simple, that is, keep following the price. If someone quotes a price, he will follow a slightly higher price.
He's persistent, but won't suddenly charge a super high price to try to scare off competitors. In fact, this is what an ordinary bidder would do.
So slowly, the price of cultural relics books rose to 110 low-grade crystal coins, 120 low-grade crystal coins, and 130 low-grade crystal coins.
When Richard quoted the price of 140 low-grade crystal coins - twice the original price of the auction, no one followed the price anymore. It was obvious that this price had exceeded the psychological price of most people, so they gave up voluntarily.
When the auctioneer saw the tedious and continuous bidding stopped, he took a breath and shouted: "140 low-grade crystal coins once! 140 low-grade crystal coins twice! 140 low-grade crystal coins..."
Just when the auctioneer was about to announce that Richard had obtained the ownership of the cultural relics and books, a voice suddenly sounded.
"200 low-grade crystal coins!"
Robbery and murder!
Deliberate and gorgeous robbery!
"Huh?" Richard turned his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw that the young man who had previously bid for the "Paradise" potion was slowly putting down the auction sign, with calmness and confidence on his face, as if he was just doing something trivial. little things.
Richard raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and turned to look at the man in black robe, feeling that something was about to happen again.
really!
The next moment, the man in black robe held up the auction item and quoted: "300 low-grade crystal coins!"
"400 low-grade crystal coins!"
"500 low-grade gold coins!"
"600 low-grade crystal coins!"
The seven cultural relics and books were competed for by the young men in black robes, and the prices skyrocketed, just like the previous "Paradise" potion.
In the end, seven cultural relics and books reached the high price of "1,000 low-grade crystal coins" and were auctioned by young men.
The auction continues and new items continue to be submitted.
In the following time, the young man made frequent moves, and every time he made a move, he auctioned off what he wanted at a very high price, making a big splash.
Richard almost became a bystander.
He does have a lot of crystal coins, and like young men, he can frequently offer thousands or thousands of low-grade crystal coins for high prices - to convince people with money.
However, in Richard's opinion, this is not necessary.
First, he is not someone who likes to be in the limelight.
Second, he is only slightly interested in many auction items, such as so-called cultural relics and books, and does not want to pay too much before confirming whether they are really useful to him.
Therefore, Richard quietly participated in the entire auction. During this period, he occasionally made a move and spent more than a thousand low-grade crystal coins. He obtained a few small magic spell props at the auction, but nothing else. reward.
However, Richard noticed that the man in black robe seemed to be interested in the young man who was showing off. He and his companions kept looking at the young man and communicating with him, as if they had some purpose.
this…
Does this mean that something special will happen after the auction ends
Richard thought.
…
quite a while.
The auction has come to an end.
After the auctioneer on the auction stage announced the ownership of the last auction item, he bowed and said: "Thank you very much for participating in this auction, but I have to regret to tell you that all the auction items have been auctioned. Finally, this auction is officially over.
Next, if you have something in the auction, please stop for a moment, and we will have dedicated service staff to hand it over to you. Customers who did not get anything from the auction can leave. I hope that the next auction will help you get what you want. "
After hearing this, many auctioneers began to leave the venue one after another, while a small number of auctioneers stayed to communicate with people from the auction house. After the handover is over, leave.
…
Another half-ring.
Auction ends.
Richard left the auction venue and walked on a remote street.
As he walked, Richard looked forward and saw a person appearing in front of him. He was the young man who had made a splash at the auction.
The young man was carrying a suitcase containing the things he had auctioned. He was walking quickly when he suddenly sensed something. He stopped and turned to look at Richard behind him.
The young man's eyes were slightly wary at first, and after sizing up Richard, he showed a slightly indifferent expression. It was obvious that from the young man's perspective, Richard did not pose any threat to him at all.
After thinking about it for a while, Richard cooperated with a passerby's expression of "I mean no harm" and faced the young man.
The young man looked at it, snorted coldly, and walked quickly forward.
Looking at the young man's back, Richard's eyes flashed, thinking of the black-robed man and the black-robed man's companions at the auction.
…
"Da da da… "
The young man was walking quickly with his suitcase in hand. Suddenly he frowned and looked around, feeling that the surroundings were strangely quiet.
"Huh?" The young man frowned, and the next moment he suddenly alerted his steps and shouted, "Who is it, come out!"
"Ha, you are quite vigilant." The voice sounded, and Somen and Mu Keni appeared.
"It's you!" The young man looked at Solmen and Mu Keni, without fear or surprise, with the same confidence on his face as before, "It's because I snatched what you wanted at the auction. It’s something, so are you going to stop me here and take it back?”
"Oh, don't get me wrong." Suomen said, "We are not robbing you. Although we are indeed prepared to take back the 'Paradise' potion in your hand and destroy it, but now we are more interested in you.
Because, the 'Heaven' potion you get at the auction, as well as many other things, are all prohibited in our opinion. In other words, they should not exist in this world. And why did you know that these things were of great value and didn't hesitate to auction them off? We want to understand why. "
