On April 1st, at 9:50 am, ten minutes before the auction, Ouyang Shuo showed up at the wooden hut in the mid-level market on time. He skillfully opened the limited-time auction platform, and the system upgrade sounded.
"System prompt: There are still ten minutes before the first system auction, do you want to enter now?"
"Entry!"
"System prompt: Detect player entry conditions..."
"System prompt: The player's own funds must not be less than two hundred gold coins, meet the requirements, start sending!"
A white light flashed, and Ouyang Shuo instantly appeared in the system auction hall. The whole hall seems to be located in the starry sky of the universe, and the ground under the feet is shrouded in clouds and mist. The surroundings of the hall and the sky are full of stars, the stars are dotted, extremely gorgeous, like a fairyland, somewhat similar to the main hall where the characters were created before.
Right in front of the auction hall is a platform in the shape of a lotus flower, on which stands a female auctioneer dressed as a lady. The lady is extremely beautiful, fresh and refined, she is simply a replica of the fairy who created the character hall, the system is really bad taste. The rear of the auction hall is naturally a row of seats, and everyone sits in the hall, and there is no so-called VIP box.
Everyone's seat is random, Ouyang Shuo looked around and found that he was sitting in the middle of the third row, which was not bad. He held two signs, one red and one white, on which his number 76 was written, which should have been issued in order of admission. In his previous life, Ouyang Shuo had never participated in such a systematic auction, so he didn't know what the brand in his hand was for.
In the hall, some lord players were already sitting in twos and threes. They didn't care when they saw Ouyang Shuo's appearance, and most of them remained silent. Only a small number of acquaintances sat together and talked in low voices.
In the auction hall, everyone's appearance is completely exposed, and the system does not engage in any boring mystery, such as giving everyone a mask or something. In fact, when you create a game character, the system has automatically corrected the player's appearance, coupled with the difference in clothing and the change of the player's own temperament, so it is impossible to find the real identity of the player through the appearance of the game. Naturally, there is no need for secrecy.
In the following time, white lights flashed continuously, and wave after wave of players began to enter the arena.
Because the system set an entry condition of 200 gold coins, which excluded a large number of players, less than 1,000 people could finally appear in the auction hall. Among these people, Ouyang Shuo saw a lot of acquaintances, including enemies like Di Chen, allies like Bai Hua, and fateful people like Xunlong Dianxue. Of course, now Ouyang Shuo recognizes them, they don't recognize Ouyang Shuo.
Ten minutes later, the auction officially started. The auctioneer said: "Everyone, please be quiet. Before the auction starts, let me first introduce the rules of this auction. There are a total of ten items in this auction, each of which is a rare treasure .Before the last lot is sold, the next lot is not public. Each lot has a starting price, and each increase must not be less than ten gold coins. In addition, in order to increase the excitement of the auction, each There is also a buy-in price for the lot. During the entire auction process, you can take the lot directly at any time at the buy-out price. Everyone holds two signs, one red and one white. Please remember the price tag.”
Ouyang Shuo listened with gusto. The system didn't know what kind of tricks it was playing. It didn't disclose the auction information in advance, and set a buy-it-yourself price. Such an auction rule is a huge challenge to the player's intelligence. The game inside is too complicated and interesting.
Sure enough, after the auctioneer finished announcing the rules of the auction, discussions began to ensue, and everyone felt very troubled by such rules. The funds in the hands of players are limited, and being able to win a lot is already a success. But in case you take a lot of trouble to take a picture, the next one is what you want more, wouldn't it be a pity. What's even more hateful is that if you are greedy and don't want to sell early, and the price of the next lot is so high that you can't get it at all, it won't be more of a game, it's really a dilemma.
Regardless of everyone's comments, the auctioneer directly announced: "The first auction will begin now." A token appeared in her hand in an instant, and she said: "This is a military officer's job transfer token, which can transfer a general of any rank to A soldier of the first rank can be directly transferred to a junior general, with a base price of 100 gold coins and a buy price of 500 gold coins."
The system really did an extraordinary job, and this first lot was such a rarity. Military officer transfer tokens are much more precious than civilian official transfer tokens, especially for territories that are unable to upgrade high-level barracks and lack generals. The pricing of the system is also interesting, the one-time price of 500 gold coins is just the cost of upgrading the advanced barracks. More than 500 gold coins, naturally no one cares about it.
Ouyang Shuo doesn't have much demand for this thing, and the bidders are usually small and medium-sized territories.
"110 gold coins!" Someone began to bid.
"120 gold coins!"
…
"170 gold coins!"
…
"220 gold coins!"
…
After more than two hundred gold coins, everyone became cautious and began to weigh whether it was worth it. After a while, the token was finally won by a player with 240 gold coins.
The auctioneer began to announce the second lot, and saw that she was holding a scroll in her hand, and said, "The second lot is "Tang Knife Forging Technique Manual". The reserve price is 200 gold coins, and the price is 1,000 gold coins. Please bid."
Ouyang Shuo cheered up, this is a good thing, it can be used together with Mingguang Armor. Others are naturally knowledgeable, no matter what it is, as long as it is related to the manufacturing technology of weapons and equipment, it is a good thing. So Ouyang Shuo remained calm and didn't rush to make a quotation, but wanted to observe first before talking.
"210 gold coins!" Someone began to bid.
"240 gold coins!"
…
"320 gold coins!"
…
The offer this time was much more intense than the first lot, and it didn't take long for it to reach 400 gold coins.
"600 gold coins!" This time it was Xiong Ba who bid, and he suddenly raised the price by 200 gold coins, instantly intimidating the players.
It's not that the other big powers don't have a long and short strength, but it's just the second lot now, and they don't want to fight too fiercely, so they abstained one after another.
Xiong Ba was secretly proud that his strategy really worked, just when he thought he was sure of winning. Ouyang Shuo held up the white sign in his hand expressionlessly, and said, "650 gold coins!"
The people around were surprised, Xiongba, as a celebrity in the game, was known by many people. Especially the representatives of those big forces, they are very familiar with each other. They originally thought that their group would play the leading roles in this auction, but they didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to be killed halfway.
Xiongba stared at Ouyang Shuo, and asked uncertainly, "But brother Wuyi?"
Ouyang Shuo had long been prepared to be found out. Apart from those big forces, he is the most likely person who can have such financial resources at this stage. He nodded and said, "I'm the one who saw Brother Xiongba!"
"Haha, since I'm the younger brother, then I'll just abstain!" Xiong Ba laughed, as if he didn't care about Cai's miss at all. It really was an old fox, obviously he didn't have the confidence to fight Ouyang Shuo recklessly, but he said it as if he was doing favors.
As the saying goes, people respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot. Ouyang Shuo is naturally not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, since Xiongba wanted to show his favor, he naturally accepted it all, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank you in advance."
The two chatted as if no one was there, and the players around them were blown up. Qiyue Wuyi, the most mysterious lord in China, finally revealed his real body today. Even Di Chen and Chun Shenjun couldn't help turning around and taking a look at him. A group of people stared at Ouyang Shuo as if they were monsters, but Ouyang Shuo himself remained motionless. For the greetings from the people around him, he just nodded politely and didn't want to talk.
Fortunately, the auctioneer helped him out and said, "650 gold coins once, 650 gold coins twice, and 650 gold coins three times. Congratulations to No. 76 for successfully winning the second lot." Knife Forging Technical Manual" appeared in Ouyang Shuo's storage bag.
"The third item will be auctioned now." This time, a bead appeared in the hands of the auctioneer, and she continued: "The third item is the Wood Spirit Bead, which can increase the yield of crops in the territory by 15%. The base price is 100 gold coins. The price is 500 gold coins, please bid."
This is another good thing, which has the same effect as the territory characteristic scroll. Although the 10% output is insignificant, it will be a very huge amount after the territory expands in the future, and it is absolutely worth the money.
Ouyang Shuo hesitated in his heart whether to intervene. His main purpose of participating in the auction this time was to obtain the manual for manufacturing weapons and equipment. Other things were not necessary. Although the funds are sufficient, he still does not want to expose his financial strength too much.
Just when Ouyang Shuo was hesitating, the Wood Spirit Orb had been pushed to a high price of 400 gold coins. Ouyang Shuo looked up and saw that the last bid was Bai Hua. Since it was his ally, it was even more difficult to make a move, so he simply gave up. In the end, Bai Hua successfully won the Wood Spirit Orb at a price of 400 gold coins.
Bai Hua's strategy was undoubtedly successful. She knew that she had limited funds and could not compete with those big forces. And the goal of the big forces is the same as that of Ouyang Shuo, they are aiming at the weapon equipment manufacturing manual. They were naturally unwilling to spend their precious funds on the Wood Spirit Orb.
