Chapter 100: The Auction (I)

On April 1, at 9:50 a.m., when there were still ten minutes left before the auction, Ouyang Shuo appeared on time at the wooden hut in the intermediate market. He skillfully opened the limited-time auction platform, and the system was upgraded to sound up.

"System prompt: There are still ten minutes left before the first system auction, do you want to enter now?"

"Enter!"

"System Prompt: Check Player Entry Conditions ......"

"System prompt: The player's own funds must not be less than two hundred gold coins, meet the requirements, and start the transfer!"

A white light flashed, and Ouyang Shuo instantly appeared in the system auction hall. The whole hall is like sitting in the middle of a cosmic starry sky, and the ground under your feet is shrouded in mist. The hall and the sky are full of stars, and the stars are dotted, extremely gorgeous, like a fairyland, and there is some resemblance to the main hall where the characters were created before.

Directly in front of the auction hall is a lotus-shaped platform, on which stands a female auctioneer dressed as a lady. The lady is extremely beautiful, fresh and refined, it is simply a copy of the fairy who created the character hall, and the system is really bad taste. At the back of the auction hall are naturally rows of seats, where everyone is seated, and there are no so-called VIP boxes.

Everyone's seats were random, Ouyang Shuo looked around, and found that he was sitting in the middle of the third row, which was not bad. He was holding two signs, one red and one white, with his number 76 written on them, which should have been given out in the order of entry. In his previous life, Ouyang Shuo had not participated in such a systematic auction, so he didn't know what the brand in his hand was for.

In the hall, there were already some lord players sitting in twos and threes, and they didn't care when they saw Ouyang Shuo appear, most of them remained silent. Only a few acquaintances sat together and talked in low voices.

In the auction hall, everyone's appearance is completely exposed, and the system is not boring to engage in any 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 dress and the change of the player's own temperament, so it is impossible to find the player's real identity through the game's appearance, and naturally there is no need to keep it secret.

In the following time, white light continued to flash, and waves of human players began to enter.

Because the system set the entry requirement of 200 gold coins, which excluded a large number of players, less than 1,000 people were able to show up in the auction hall in the end. Among these people, Ouyang Shuo saw a lot of acquaintances, including enemies like Emperor Chen, allies like Bai Hua, and people like Dragon Hunting. Of course, now it is Ouyang Shuo who recognizes them, and they don't recognize Ouyang Shuo.

Ten minutes later, the auction officially began. The auctioneer said, "Please be quiet. Before the auction begins, let me first introduce you to the rules of this auction. There are a total of 10 lots in this auction, each of which is a rare treasure. Until the previous lot is not sold, the next lot is not public. There is a starting price for each lot, and each increase must not be less than 10 gold coins. In addition, in order to increase the excitement of the auction, a fixed price is set for each lot. Throughout the auction, you can always take your lot at a fixed price. There are two brands in everyone's hands, one red and one white, the white is the price tag, and the red is the price tag, please remember. ”

Ouyang Shuo listened to it with relish below, and this system didn't know what tricks to play, neither did it disclose the information of the lot in advance, but also set a fixed price. Such auction rules are a huge challenge to the wisdom of players, and the game here is too complex and interesting.

Sure enough, after the auctioneer read out the auction rules, there was a lot of discussion below, and everyone felt a lot of headaches about such rules. Players have limited funds, and being able to win a lot is already a success. But wouldn't it be a pity if you took the trouble to shoot the next one, and the next one was what you wanted more. What's even more hateful is that if you are greedy and unwilling to make a move early, and the price of the later lot is extremely high, and you can't take it at all, it's not even more finished, it's really a dilemma.

The auctioneer didn't care about everyone's arguments and just announced, "Now let's start the auction of the first lot." In an instant, a token appeared in her hand and said: "This is a general transfer token, which can directly transfer a soldier of any rank to a junior general, with a base price of 100 gold coins and a fixed price of 500 gold coins." ”

The system really made a difference, and this first lot was such a rarity. The General Transfer Token is much more valuable than the Civilian Rank Transfer Token, especially for those territories that do not have the ability to upgrade to the high-level military camp and lack military generals. The pricing of the system is also interesting, and the fixed price of 500 gold coins is just the cost of upgrading the high-level military camp. More than 500 gold coins, naturally no one cares.

Ouyang Shuo didn't have much demand for this thing, and the bids were usually for small and medium-sized territories.

"110 gold!" Someone started bidding.

"120 gold!"

……

"170 Coins"

……

"220 gold!"

……

After more than two hundred gold coins, everyone became cautious and began to weigh whether it was worth it or not. After some grinding, the token was finally won by a player for 240 gold.

The auctioneer began to reveal the second lot, only to see that she was holding a scroll in her hand, and said: "The second lot is the "Tang Knife Forging Technique Manual", the reserve price is 200 gold coins, and the price is 1000 gold coins, please bid." ”

Ouyang Shuo's spirit was shocked, this is a good thing, it can just be used with Mingguang armor. Other people are naturally knowledgeable, no matter what it is, as long as it is related to weapons and equipment manufacturing technology, it is a good thing. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo remained silent, not in a hurry to quote, but wanted to observe it first.

"210 gold!" Someone started bidding.

"240 gold!"

……

"320 gold!"

……

This time, the offer was much more intense than the first lot, and it didn't take long for it to rush to 400 gold coins.

"600 gold!" This time it was Xiongba, who raised the price by 200 gold at once, instantly deterring a group of players.

It's not that the other big forces don't have the strength for a long time, but it's only the second lot now, and they don't want to fight too fiercely, so they abstain one after another.

Xiongba was secretly proud, his strategy really worked, just when he thought he was winning. Ouyang Shuo raised the white sign in his hand expressionlessly and said, "650 gold coins!" ”

The people around were shocked, as a game celebrity, there are still many people who know him. Especially the representatives of the big forces are very familiar with each other. They originally thought that this auction would be the leading role of their own group, but they didn't want to kill halfway.

Xiongba's eyes froze, looked at Ouyang Shuo, and asked uncertainly, "But how can you say that you have no clothes?" ”

Ouyang Shuo has long been ready to be recognized, at this stage, he can have such financial resources, except for those big forces, the most likely is him, nodded and said: "It is in the lower part that I have seen Brother Xiongba!" ”

"Haha, since it's my brother, then I'll just abstain!" Xiongba laughed, seemingly not caring at all about Fang Cai's miss. is really an old fox, obviously he doesn't have the confidence to fight hard with Ouyang Shuo, but what he said seems to be a favor.

As the saying goes, people respect me for a foot, and I respect people for a foot. Ouyang Shuo is naturally not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, since Xiongba intends to show goodwill, he naturally accepts all the orders, and said with a smile: "Then the little brother will thank you first." ”

If no one else is talking to each other, the players around them will blow up. How can you say that you have no clothes, the most mysterious lord in China, finally revealed his true identity today. Even Emperor Chen and Chun Shenjun couldn't help but turn around and glance at him. A group of people stared at Ouyang Shuo like monsters, but Ouyang Shuo himself did not move. He only nodded politely to the greetings of the people around him, and did not want to talk.

Fortunately, the auctioneer relieved him and said: "650 gold coins once, 650 gold coins twice, 650 gold coins three times, congratulations to No. 76 for successfully winning the second lot." The moment the auctioneer announced, the volume of the Tang Sword Forging Technique Manual appeared in Ouyang Shuo's storage bag.

"Now start the auction of the third lot" This time the auctioneer appeared in the hand of a bead, she continued: "The third lot is the wood spirit bead, the effect is to increase the yield of crops in the territory by 15%, the reserve price is 100 gold coins, and the fixed price is 500 gold coins, please bid." ”

Again, it's a good thing, and it's similar to the Territory Identity Scroll. Don't look at the inconspicuous output of 10%, when the scale of the territory expands in the future, it is a very huge amount, and it is definitely worth the money.

Ouyang Shuo hesitated to intervene in his heart, the main purpose of his participation in the auction this time was to obtain the weapon and equipment manufacturing manual, and other things were not necessary. Although he has sufficient funds, he still does not want to expose his financial strength too much.

Just when Ouyang Shuo hesitated, the Wood Spirit Bead had been pushed to a high price of 400 gold coins. Ouyang Shuo looked up and saw that the last offer 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 Bead at a price of 400 gold coins.

Bai Hua's strategy was undoubtedly successful, and she knew that she had limited funds and could not compete with those big forces. And the goals of the big forces are the same as Ouyang Shuo's, and they are all aimed at weapons and equipment manufacturing manuals. Naturally, they were reluctant to spend their precious funds on the Wood Spirit Beads.
