Chapter 170: The Auction Begins
Xi Bai was thinking about it, when he looked up and saw Ao Zhan squeezing through the crowd in line and walking in front of the two middle-aged men, but before he could speak, he saw that the middle-aged man who was a little taller had a trace of expression on his face, but he still said with a professional smile: "This gentleman, if you want to enter the auction venue, please line up and obey the order." ”
Ao Zhan was stunned, and said with a noncommittal smile: "Do I need to queue up too?" ”
The tall middle-aged man's face was even more unhappy, but he still explained: "Yes, no matter who it is, you have to queue up to get in, otherwise......"
Just before he finished speaking, the short middle-aged man suddenly took a step forward, stood in front of the tall man, and said politely: "It turned out to be the proud gang leader, I'm really sorry." Naturally, you don't have to queue up, our young master has already said, if you come, just go in directly, the private room is ready for you, please come with me. ”
The short, middle-aged man made a gesture of please. And the tall middle-aged man was shocked when he heard that the person in front of him was the arrogant gang leader, although he was a member of the Ding family, he was just a subordinate. Ding Xiaofeng had already told him that if someone with an identity in a game like Ao Zhan came, he would just let him go. But he dared to stop the other party just now. But you can't blame him, after all, he doesn't know each other!
Ao Zhan glanced at the tall middle-aged man with a smile, nodded at the short one, and said, "In that case, please lead the way, but I still have a few friends, I don't know if I can ...... it."
The short man hurriedly said, "Your friends are naturally with you, please come with me." With that, he walked towards the auction venue, and Ao Zhan, Xi Bai and others also followed the person into the venue.
The tall middle-aged man was relieved to see Ao Zhan and the others leaving, but Ao Zhan's last glance still made his heart tremble, if Ao Zhan told Ding Xiaofeng about this, then his job would probably be ruined.
And just then a player asked, "Why did the group of people just now get in without queuing or checking?" ”
The tall middle-aged man was already in a bad mood, and when he heard someone ask, he immediately glared at the man, and said angrily: "Do you know who that person is?" That's the proud battle of the gang leader! Which gang are you the leader of? I can let you in if you say it! ”
The player's neck shrunk when he was said, he was just an ordinary player, he was originally here to see the world, but he heard that he needed a million to enter the auction hall, and he didn't have so much money. That's why he saw that Ao Zhan and the others could go in without inspection, so he asked such a question. After listening to the middle-aged man's explanation, he had no choice but to leave in disgrace.
Xi Bai and the others entered the auction house, Xi Bai couldn't help but look around, only to see that there was a long corridor in front of him, the end of the corridor was quite open, and there was a faint voice of talking, and Xi Bai guessed that it was the venue.
It's just that the short middle-aged man didn't take them in, but opened a small door on the side of the corridor and said to everyone: "Everyone, please come with me, this is a VIP passage, you can go directly to the private room." So saying, he entered the door.
Xi Bai and the others hurriedly followed behind, Xi Bai went in to take a look, and found that it was a spiral staircase, and everyone climbed the stairs, and then reached the third floor, and the short middle-aged man stopped.
Then a small door was opened, and everyone came out to see that this was a horizontal corridor, and in front of them was a row of private rooms, and the short middle-aged man opened a private room in front of them and said, "Proud Gang Master, this is your private room, please feel free, I hope you can take pictures of your favorite items this time." After speaking, the middle-aged man bowed slightly and left.
Everyone didn't talk nonsense, and went directly into the private room, and after entering, Xi Bai found that the private room had a lot of space, and there was no problem at all to accommodate more than a dozen of them.
There was a row of chairs in the private room, with a long table in the middle with some fruit on it, and directly opposite them was a whole wall of glass.
Xi Bai walked to the glass wall, and his eyes suddenly opened up. I saw that in front of me was the location of the venue, and when I looked down, there were rows of seats, and many people were already seated.
At the end of the seat was a huge stage, which was supposed to be the stage of this auction, and the stage was still empty.
"This Ding Xiaofeng really spent a lot of effort, and he even has such a thing as glass, don't you think it's strange to see glass in the game?" Little Apple's attention is often different from others, he touched the glass wall and shook his head.
But his words are naturally ignored, anyway, it's a virtual world, and the appearance of glass is naturally inevitable, and besides, this auction was originally held for players, not NPCs.
"Let's sit down, it looks like the auction will have to wait for the meeting to start." Ao Zhan beckoned everyone to sit down.
"Huh? What is this? After Li Fei'er sat down, she found that there were several menu-like things on the long table, so she picked up one and opened it.
Xi Bai also picked up a copy and opened it, only to see that the first page read: Hello dear customers, welcome to participate in this auction, because this is the first large-scale auction since the game opened, so both the number of participants and the items participating in the auction are beyond our imagination.
And although many items do not meet the auction standards, their value and utility are very high, and there are so many that we can't auction them all. So the booklet you are holding now is the item that was not auctioned in this auction, if you need it, you can contact us directly and we will trade with you.
Xi Bai nodded, and behind this passage is the number of the flying pigeon, which is probably the contact information.
At this time, everyone found this booklet, so they picked it up and looked at it, Xi Bai had nothing to do, so they continued to read it.
On the second page, there is a picture of a book called "The Palm of the Mountain", and below is an introduction. It's obviously a martial arts cheatbook. Xi Bai's eyes lit up, the name of this martial art was very domineering, and he couldn't help but look down.
"Open Mountain Palm", low-grade intermediate martial arts, palm method, a total of 14 moves, practice to a high depth can open the mountain and crack the stone, the power is endless. The starting price is 1,000 taels, and the price can be increased at will.
After reading it, Xi Bai couldn't help but be disappointed, he didn't want this "Kaishan Palm" to be just a low-grade intermediate martial arts, and his "One Word Electric Sword" level was the same. However, Xi Bai thought about it, this introduction could not be wrong, after all, he now knew that no matter what kind of martial arts, as long as he practiced to the realm of returning to the basics, the power was comparable to that of a peerless master, but he didn't have time to practice an ordinary palm technique.
Xi Bai shook his head and continued to look at the following, but after reading a lot, Xi Bai threw down the booklet, but although the things in it are good, there is nothing advanced, and the martial arts cheats are the highest and only medium-grade and intermediate-level martial arts, and all kinds of weapons are not even at the level of famous weapons, so he is really too lazy to read it.
In fact, the main reason is that Xi Bai's starting point is too high, not to mention that he now has three peerless martial arts, that is, "One Word Electric Sword" is also a low-grade intermediate-level, and his weapon is also a low-grade famous weapon, the Ning Bi Sword, so it is natural that these things can't get into his eyes.
However, ordinary players naturally don't think so, after all, at this stage, except for those masters, it is rare to get high-level martial arts, so finding an intermediate martial arts suitable for them is already their great pursuit. And famous-level weapons are even more difficult to find, and those divine weapons have not appeared at all at this stage, so famous-level weapons are equivalent to divine weapons at this stage.
And Xi Bai was not interested in these things, but the others watched them with relish, and even discussed with each other, and some of the few proud gangsters had already begun to contact the auction staff to buy them.
Even Li Fei'er couldn't take his eyes off it, and for a while, he was left alone with nothing to do. Xi Bai couldn't help but shake his head, came to the glass wall, and looked out.
Xi Bai saw that the whole venue was fan-shaped, and their private room was exactly in the center of the fan, and he looked at both sides, and there were the same private rooms on the left and right. It's just that when he took a look, he found that the other private rooms were also glass, but they looked like a black hole, and he couldn't see anything, so he knew that the glass in this private room was only one-sided, and he couldn't help nodding, after all, his privacy naturally didn't want others to know.
And there are more and more people in the seats below, Xi Bai looked down from above, quite a condescending feeling, making people feel superior, he smiled in his heart, the Ding family really has nothing to say about the grasp of people's hearts, after all, rich people often feel that they are superior, and most of the people who can be in the private room are rich people.
And the people below also had a booklet in their hands, discussing things with the people around them from time to time, and the auction staff walked among them from time to time and handed over the items to those people, obviously the transaction was completed.
Xi Bai nodded, and said in his heart that most of these things were still prepared for these people, after all, although the people who could come in were all worth millions, but the things that would be auctioned later were all sky-high, not to mention the last Xiao Huandan, and the chance of them being able to auction them was very small. And the stuff on this booklet is also good, just right for them.
In this way, Xi Bai waited boredly for nearly an hour, and the seats below were almost half sitting, and he didn't know how many people there were in those private rooms.
Then Xi Bai saw a middle-aged man walking on the stage, although he was nearly 100 meters away from the stage, he could still see the other party very clearly, which should also be the effect of this glass.
I saw that this middle-aged man was wearing a silk robe, with a tall figure, a slightly longer face, upright facial features, and a white beard, giving people a sense of integrity and duty.
The middle-aged man coughed after coming on stage, I don't know what kind of amplification effect it is, the other party's voice is obviously not loud, but Xi Bai heard it clearly.
Hearing this voice, the people below also quieted down, and Xi Bai took a long breath, knowing that the auction was finally about to start.
