Chapter 297: Auction

After dinner, Dora took her leave, and Qingyi was left behind by Mrs. Green. Refreshing reading

"Zhang, are you really not good at any sports? This is not good, what boy can not be good at sports. Mrs. Green began to speak earnestly again.

"Not every man has to take the athletic route, does he?" Qingyi was helpless.

In the United States, however, this is the case.

Americans are adventurous, athletic, and have no affection for people who seem to be good at reading, as can be seen in school comedies: popular boys are almost always basketball captains or 'baseball' players, while boys who can only read and wear thick glasses are bullied. Throughout the history of the United States, although every president has not been as decathlon as Putin, he must have been the main force of the school team from childhood to adulthood; And the people don't dislike their "lame" IQ, and they don't reduce their approval rating because of one or two troubles, and the people need an energetic president more - so every president has to 'take time' to run, and they need reporters to follow up on the run. Sport is part of American life.

Compared with the United States, although China also requires students to meet the standards of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, the long-term feudal society has cultivated a concept of emphasizing literature over martial arts, and even requires scholars to be "unrestrained by the power of the 'chicken'", "everything is inferior, only reading is high", so even in modern times, Chinese scholars are generally unable to adapt to the exercise intensity of Europeans and Americans. What's more, sports is just a kind of entertainment activity for the Chinese people after dinner, and it is absolutely impossible to regard it as a profession: what is the use of playing football no matter how good it is, not joining the Chinese men's football team? No matter how 'good' you are at basketball, can you make it to the NBA like Yao Ming? Sons and daughters might as well study seriously, go to sports schools or apply for sports students, which is a matter for poor students.

Therefore, in the eyes of Americans, Chinese students are weak and incompetent, and there are really no bright spots except for their academic performance. Qingyi is also in school because he only studies and does not participate in the team, and his interpersonal relationship is quite not optimistic.

"Don't you love watching The Big Bang Theory? Those otaku scientists in it don't know how to exercise, so they don't still contribute to the United States. Qingyi said with a smile: "Society is like a huge ant nest, which requires division of labor, it is impossible for everyone to be a soldier ant, and it is impossible for everyone to be a worker ant, and occasionally I need an ant that cannot move." ”

"In short, exercise more to keep your body healthy." Mrs. Green nagged.

Qingyi sat for a while and then went home, turned on the computer and surfed the Internet. At this time, he thought to himself, if "killing" also meets the definition of "sports", then he is still an athlete.

There are several new messages on the forum, the first is of course "'Lang' Taosha holds a personal auction in the Dusk Empire", and the second is "Jiang 'flowers' haunt the mermaid city-state". Qingyi was quite curious about the latter, and clicked on it to take a look, it turned out that the poster (a mermaid player) accidentally witnessed Jiang 'fireworks' appearing on the streets of the mermaid city-state, and then looked at it and couldn't find it, but there was no screenshot at the time, so he had to post on the forum. The reason why this post was pushed to the front page of the forum is purely because there is a large group of players who follow the post to mock the poster, saying that this thing is crazy to want to be famous, after all, the Lancang Dragon King once single-handedly slaughtered a mermaid city-state, but at the time of the poster's claimed witness, the mermaid city-state was not slaughtered. In the face of ridicule, the poster had to keep swearing and vowing, but there were still few supporters.

Qingyi was also 'very' disappointed, he also thought that the essence of the news was related to "the mermaid city-state was bleeding like a river", but since no one died, it means that Jiang's 'fireworks' did not appear.

After going online, Qingyi went directly to Snow City. Sam had been waiting for a long time, and immediately led him to the auction house, the most exclusive VIP box. The box is located on the third floor, which is not surprising, but surprisingly there is only this one box on the third floor, and the other VIP boxes are on the second floor.

Qingyi sat down, this position is just enough to have a panoramic view of the entire booth. A third of the way through the auction, the zombie who served as the auctioneer asked hoarsely, "Are there any higher bidders?" Well, this gentleman on the 31st bid 55,000 gold coins! ”

In the auction house, players can learn the detailed attributes of the auction items at a glance, but some of the attributes of some rare items are retained, because customers who can afford them don't want the enemy to know the full attributes of the equipment. The one on auction now is an earring made of fireball magic, which is not surprising, but the price is very high, and it is already the upstream level that magic equipment can reach, which shows that there are not many rich people in the Necronomicon.

From another point of view, the prices of the Dusk Empire, which has been greatly damaged by the trade war, are generally low, so the average player can also charge a lot of money here, which is just like tourists from developed countries in Europe and the United States who go to Southeast Asia to shop and exclaim "so cheap".

"Your Majesty, here is the list of auction items for tonight, and those that have been crossed out in black have been auctioned." Sam handed over a thick piece of paper.

"Is there anything related to time?" Qingyi casually glanced at the list and found that the previous auction prices were very considerable, and there were no first-class auctions, so he couldn't help but sigh again that there were too many rich people in the Dusk Empire.

"Yes."

Qingyi immediately paid attention to it, and when he looked at it again, there were a few pieces of equipment made of time magic, but except for a few pieces of important genitals that were hidden, the others were only relatively useless genitals such as attack speed, movement speed, and skill cooldown reduction (of course, it was still quite useful for the general public, especially for the high-sensitivity profession).

Sam was understanding, and immediately asked: "'Lang' Taosha is sitting below, do you want me to send someone to ask him, what is the hidden 'sex' of those equipment?" ”

"Not necessarily. I can see that this list is already the limit, and I can't break the rules. Qingyi shook his head, although he didn't appreciate the 'waves' and sand, but he didn't want to 'befriend' with this person, after all, the other party's potential ability was very large. Let's just wait, I'm going to have to buy the gear as soon as it comes out. ”

"Yes!"

The auction proceeded in an orderly manner, while Qingyi focused on the auction items. As he could see, the auction items were all made of magic, all of which were of different colors, and the only thing they had in common was that they all shimmered with magic, both 'refined' and powerful. Due to the concept that "'women' and 'sex' are the main consumer groups", 70% of the auction items are jewelry or 'women') clothing, and their prices are very high.

Sam suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, can I ask a question?" ”

"Just ask."

"Why are you obsessed with time-related items? As far as I know, most of these props are selling dog 'meat' on the head of a sheep, and the effect is useless, and it is completely useless for us who already have a long life. Sam puffed up his chest with some pride: "Even if someone can stop time, he won't live longer than me!" ”

Qingyi thought for a moment and said: "There are many people who live a life of extreme boredom and don't understand how precious time is. You can earn it again when you run out of money, you can regain it by exercising when your health is gone, and you can chase it back if your girlfriend runs away, but once time passes, you can't get it back from the gods. Even if we have eternal life, I still can't laugh when those close to me are going to die. If I could buy back time with tens of thousands of gold coins, I would be moved to tears. ”

At this time, the first time-related auction item came to the stage, called "Slow-Motion Hourglass", which was an additional piece of equipment with a fairly small amount of "sex", but one of the "properties" shown was "greatly reduced enemy speed". Qingyi waved his hand, and Sam began to shout the price, and bought it for 50,000 gold coins.

The items photographed are delivered by hand. Qing Yi took a look, the hidden genus 'sex' of the "slow-motion hourglass" is "within five meters, the enemy's speed is reduced by 30%, and the cooldown time of his own skills and the cooldown time of the 'potion' water is increased by 10%", a complete double-edged sword, no wonder the 'wave' sand hides this genus 'sex', otherwise there will be a lot fewer people who are interested. And Qingyi was so disappointed with this 'sex' that he threw the equipment aside and continued to watch.

Since then, every piece of time-related equipment has fallen into Qingyi's pocket. It's not that no one competes with Qingyi, it's just that the financial resources can't be compared with Qingyi - what's the joke, he is the master of this country, and no matter how poor he is, he is richer than ordinary people. But on the other hand, Qingyi also 'spent' a lot of unjust money, and the price of two pieces of equipment exceeded 100,000, which is the price of dark gold, and the 'nature' of the equipment also proves that they are not worth the money.

Looking at the table full of garbage, Qingyi became more and more disappointed, but he still retained patience, after all, a qualified king needs patience the most. Finally, the last target has arrived, and it has been placed in the fourth to last place, and the remaining three lots are not physical 'sex' equipment, but three opportunities for 'Lang' to buy equipment for buyers (only French professionals) to create their own equipment. Therefore, the French professionals had already given up bidding in the first few lots and focused their 'fine' efforts on the three chances of the finale, while the warrior professionals were all bidding recklessly, so that Qingyi had just bought the blue suit at the price of the dark gold suit, and I am afraid that this last round was no exception.

This time, Qingyi didn't even bother to read the name of the equipment, and bought the equipment back after shouting a few high prices. The equipment is called "Water Stop Ring", and it is inlaid with a drop-shaped black gemstone ring on the silver ring, and then it belongs to the "sex" is......

Qingyi's eyes widened in disbelief.

"20% reduction in states inflicted by time-based magic"?

Although it is a 'chicken' rib 'sex', can't it be used to counteract the negative effects of magic for Anigil? If Anigir was ten years older than ten days ago, now ten days will only be eight years older, a full 20% more life?

Qingyi immediately got up, left along the secret passage, and came to the big 'gate' of the auction. At this time, the atmosphere in the venue was warm, everyone was selflessly bidding, no one noticed the June sunshine, except for one person, that is, the "waves" guarding the big "gate".

'Lang' Taosha hurriedly greeted him and asked affectionately: "You bought all the time magic equipment just now?" ”

"You know it's me?" Qingyi does not 'want' the customer's information to be kept absolutely confidential, even if it is an important seller, the 'wave' Taosha cannot be known.

"If you don't choose the unique box, I can't really guess. Are you short of this kind of equipment? I still have it here, and I will sell it to you at the cost price! "The 'waves' are more enthusiastic.

"You still have?"

"Of course, I met a person who mastered the magic of time before, and he thought that there were strange goods to live in, so he hoarded a lot, but the 'sex' was mediocre, and he couldn't take his hands on it-"

Qingyi grabbed the 'wave' and swept the sand: "Where is that person, take me to meet him!" I'll give you 100,000 gold coins! ”
