Lindong.
Underground black market.
Auctions held every five days often see many high-end awakeners competing to increase the price.
But today.
The auction was held as scheduled, but the atmosphere was far less lively than before.
On the stage, a voluptuous young auctioneer was introducing an item that was being presented.
"This is a long sword made of cloud-patterned gold. It is sharp enough to easily cut through the fur of a demonized beast at the second level of awakening. If the user is strong, it can be enough to even face a demonized beast at the third or fourth level. Causing fatal damage... The auction will begin now, with a starting price of thirty source crystals."
Weapons are often the most popular equipment for awakened people, but this time everyone in the audience took a look, but they were not interested.
The enchanting woman tugged at the collar on her chest, and the white snow made many awakened people stare straight at her. She wanted to use this to lighten the mood, but her throat squirmed, but she sighed and said something feebly. , "The starting price is thirty source crystals. Does anyone want it? The moiré gold content of this long sword exceeds fifty percent."
Her eyes swept over the people in the audience. Many people stared in this direction, but what they were looking at was not the moiré gold sword on the auction table, but her.
While proud, the enchanting woman is very depressed.
She recalled the auction nearly a month ago. The demon-slaying long sword caused many top team captains to compete for it. At that time, the awakened people even ignored her as the auctioneer. The only one in sight could easily cut through demons. A demon-slaying sword made of animal skin and bones.
That was the pinnacle moment of the black market auction.
Since then, the awakened person who sold the demon-slaying sword has not appeared again.
The following auctions were less popular, but each time there were still many Lindong top team captains, and even spokesmen of the three major mercenary groups present... Until some time ago, those high-end awakened people lost interest in the black market auctions. interested.
The enchanting woman knew the reason.
There have been rumors in the Lindong Sanctuary about where to buy the Demon-Slaying Long Sword. Not only the Demon-Slaying Long Sword, but also more powerful weapons and equipment can be purchased anywhere.
It sounds like fantasy, but the enchanting woman knows it...
The news is true!
Many top players in Lindong are crazy about it, and there are even many top teams and elite teams stationed there permanently.
During the two recent black market auctions, she had rarely seen those familiar faces.
Only the awakened ones who were weak and had no information channels were kept in the dark and still doubted the authenticity of the rumors.
The auction house was silent for a moment, and finally a man wearing a mask and sunglasses said, "Thirty source crystals, I bought them."
Next to him, the companion of the man in sunglasses couldn't figure it out, and whispered, "Why are you buying such a useless weapon? You forgot, the Green Shade Commercial District will open in a few days, and there will be discounts on equipment sales! Even some of the original weapons High-end equipment that can only be redeemed in the Adventurer's Guild can be purchased with just source crystals, what kind of source crystals are you wasting at this time!"
The companion was a little excited.
The man in sunglasses waved his hand and said confidently, "This kind of weapon is useless, but the raw material of the long sword, moiré gold, is an extraordinary metal. This kind of extraordinary metal is relatively common and the price is not low. Last time I was there Lu Yin has seen someone buy it. A fist-sized piece of source crystal is worth more than ten units... "
"This long sword is made of moiré gold. As the black market party said, the moiré gold content exceeds 50%. If we resell it to Lu Yin, we can still make a few small bucks. Even if Lu Yin doesn't take it, anyway, The materials are here, so you won’t lose anything.”
The man in sunglasses said, suddenly clapped his hands and said, "In other words, this is called source crystal value preservation... You should know that as the strength of our awakened people increases, the amount of source crystal harvested every day also increases. One unit of source crystal a month ago It can still be exchanged for one hundred kilograms of ordinary grain, but now, there are only forty-five kilograms left."
The companion suddenly understood and nodded, and looked at the male companion in sunglasses with great admiration. He thought for a while and said, "I remember that the green shop is for rent, and there are various preferential policies in the early stage. Should we invest in it? After all, real estate can not only maintain its value. , and it can also appreciate in value.”
"Ahem." The man in sunglasses staggered and looked at his companion, as if he hated iron. "Real estate can go up in value! What's more, the shops are for rent, not for sale. You haven't seen those top teams. Regarding this matter, Are you still hesitating? Luyin has a great reputation, strong strength, and various rune equipment for sale, but this does not mean that Luyin can be as safe as Lindong... "
"Didn't it mean that Green Shadow was once attacked by the demonic tide and remained intact..." the companion said weakly.
"That's what happened." The man in sunglasses shook his head, "Green Shade can hold the first-level demonic tide, but what about the second- and third-level demonic tides? Will the Green Shade Sanctuary be able to defend such a large commercial district by then? ? Don’t stock up on a large amount of supplies and goods to prepare for business, only to be snatched away by the demonic tide.”
…
The auction was proceeding in an orderly manner, but until the final item, there was no frantic scramble for higher prices.
A lot of materials, rare objects, and rare supplies were taken away, but some of the equipment was left unattended, and several pieces of equipment failed to be auctioned.
Soon, the auction ended, and many awakened people gradually dispersed with disappointed expressions.
Someone muttered, "The black market auctions are getting worse and worse. I'd better go to Luyin next time and have a look. I don't know if Luyin has any plans to hold auctions."
…
Behind the auction house.
The enchanting woman lay lazily on the seat, her curves exposed, but her expression was a bit tired.
"This source crystal is getting harder and harder to earn."
"Yes, Sister Liu Yao."
Next to the enchanting woman, stood a woman in her early twenties with a delicate appearance. She said with a sad face, "Our auction this time still did not meet the requirements of the superiors. The manager is already very dissatisfied with us."
"Obviously it's just an auction item, but these people insist on blaming you, Sister Liu Yao, and make me mad!"
She stamped her feet anxiously, but when she thought of the black market manager's words, her little face immediately became filled with sadness.
He Liuyao knew better than his assistant.
Once she loses her position as a black market auctioneer and no longer receives the attention of the upper class, those who have long coveted her will pounce on her like a shark that smells fishy smell.
But now, some people are already ready to make a move.
"Sister Liu Yao, what should we do?"
He Liuyao pondered for a while and then said, "It's better to change jobs."
"Jumping? Where are you jumping to?"
"Green shade!" He Liuyao shouted.
The assistant was completely confused, "Isn't Green Shelter our competitor? If it weren't for them, the transaction volume of our auction would not be getting lower and lower!"
