Chapter 366: Treasure Map
"Go ......," the auctioneer's words had just fallen, and a chorus of boos rang out from below. It's not the buyers who are heckling, but the auctioneer's words are really unconvincing, and the general hall feels a bit like it's fooling people no matter how it feels.
However, the auctioneer seemed to have anticipated this situation in front of him, and said with a smile on his face: "Maybe everyone doesn't believe me when I say this, so let's do a test, and after this test, I believe that everyone will have no doubt about the authenticity of this treasure map." ”
The auctioneer clapped his hands, and then a powerful man walked up to the stage, one of them grabbed the treasure map that seemed to be moth-eaten and seemed to break if it was touched a little, and then pulled it hard to both sides, the two big men blushed and their necks were thick, and they didn't tear up the treasure map that didn't look very good.
Then someone brought up a brazier, and the temperature in the brazier could be felt by anyone sitting in the front row. Then, in the midst of an exclamation, the auctioneer threw the treasure map into the brazier, and three minutes later took out the treasure map for a long time. Then another mutant who was not weak walked up, pulled out his sharp sword, injected internal force, and slashed at the animal skin. Originally, the sword that could break through three points even with a stone injected with internal force did not leave any traces on the treasure map. This made the doubts in the hearts of the auctioneers in the audience suddenly decreased a lot.
The auctioneer breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the bidders in the audience had quieted down, and at the treasure map that had returned to the tray and placed on the auction table, his eyes flashed as if he was thinking about something. Obviously, a few seemingly vulgar simple tests have made the auctioneers intuitively feel the extraordinary texture of this treasure map.
"How do I feel that you are like selling Dianabol pills on the street, and you are all using your people when you try to test, how do I know that you are not acting to fool everyone? And the test just now can only be the texture of this treasure map on the front. But just because it's extraordinary doesn't mean there's really a treasure hidden in it, right? One player stood up and questioned.
Seeing the mark on the player's chest, the faces of the bidders present turned strange, because the player standing up was not another security company. Rather, the people of Cheetah Security Company have made a clear hostile relationship with the Scavenger Security Company. Not long ago, the power of Hope City shuffled the cards, although the scavenger came out with a bad hand in everyone's opinion.
Unexpectedly, the heroic status established in the minds of players was ruined, and the scavenger security company lost a chance to respond to the throne. But it is undeniable that the scavenger security company is in this reshuffle. Because of the war with the orcs, he stood outside the circle. Although it has been affected, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the harvest.
And the most embarrassing scavenger security company actually cheated one of the three major security companies. This has caused a lot of criticism, and some player characters are too domineering. The three major security companies didn't want to help him start a war against the beasts, so he directly took over the lair. So much so that this time the reshuffle of Hope City, although the most reluctant, because the senior management of the three major security companies paid the ransom, they were released to stabilize their positions, and they gained a little.
However, it is equivalent to the fact that the three major security companies in the past are unbeatable, and completely control most of the interests of Hope City. The three major security companies went through this kidnapping incident. Not to mention the reputation, sweeping the floor has also been stained, plus many mysterious forces have emerged. Gone are the days when the big three security companies reigned supreme.
However, there are also people who believe that scavengers are real men and will not become hypocritical because of some fame and fortune. If you are unhappy, then show it. Absolutely not hidden. In the face of betrayed allies, there are no hypocrites who pay lip service to hypocrisy. Instead, he used direct means to express his unhappiness, not pretentious at all, and he was a real man. And this point of view is undoubtedly very marketable for most enthusiastic players. Therefore, the status of scavengers in the hearts of players is very controversial.
But it is undeniable that even in the eyes of most people, the scavenger is the last bad trick to destroy the Great Wall, missing a good development opportunity, and at the same time very controversial in the minds of players. However, the Scavenger's place in the player's mind has been determined, and this influence has spread to other cities. Because no matter which city players think of Hope City, the first thing that comes to mind is not the previous three major security companies, not the mayor of Hope City, but the scavenger.
This kind of prestige that exists invisibly, and unknowingly becomes an iconic figure in the entire Hope City. The meaning of this is not understood by ordinary people, but it just feels that the scavenger is famous. But some people with real brains know what this means.
But let's not talk about this topic for now. Now on to the hostility between the scavenger security company and the three major security companies. Because of the silence of the spikes and thunder shields on the matter of the beasts. Cheetahs are simply rebellious. The relationship between the four security companies that they had originally cooperated with fell apart. In particular, the fierce counterattack of the scavengers after the most embarrassing period made the three major security companies lose face and suffer huge losses, which made the contradictions between the three major security companies and the scavenger security companies continue to expand.
In particular, the old feud between the scavenger security company and the cheetah security company has been planted from the beginning. The Cheetah Security Company cooperates with the Orcs instead of finding allies in Hope City, and the Scavenger Security Company plays a factor that cannot be overlooked. And when the three major security companies were kidnapped, several high-level executives of the Cheetah Security Company were directly ripped off the woman's belly, and it is said that they also took photos as a threat.
Although the people from the Cheetah Security Company did not come out to defend the rumor, and the people from the Scavenger Security Company did not seem to hear the rumor at all. But the hostile relationship between Cheetah Security and Scavenger Security has reached a point where it is impossible to ease up. So at this time, the people of the Cheetah Security Company appeared in such an important auction house and openly questioned the credibility of the scavenger auction house. This made everyone sit next to them with a smile on their lips and start watching the play.
"The words "scavenger auction house" are proof that if you don't believe it, you can not buy it, and no one will force you to buy something. As for the question of whether there is any treasure in the treasure map. All I can say is that everything is risky, and if you can't afford to lose, don't invest it. If only I could be sure that there was treasure in the map, and what kind of treasure it was. Then I'll just carry the treasure home, and then I need to auction the treasure map here?
That said, though, sounds a bit like fooling everyone. Because I can't be sure if there is any treasure in the treasure map. If there is no treasure after buying it back, it will be a loss, but it is still the same sentence, there is nothing 100% sure in this world. Although I don't know what the treasure in the treasure map is, everyone has confirmed that this animal skin is not simple. Do you think someone would be bored to make a fake treasure map out of such an extraordinary hide? ”
The auctioneer stood up to the doubts of the players of the Cheetah Security Company, especially the sentence 'The words "scavenger auction house is reputation" are even more sonorous. And when he said this, the auctioneer's tone undoubtedly revealed a strong self-confidence. It's a bit overbearing. But it is undeniable that the scavenger auction house has the confidence to say this.
The auctioneer's words did not dispel the doubts in the hearts of the bidders because of what the Cheetah Security Company said. But buying this treasure map comes with a gambling attitude. There really are treasures in the treasure map. Naturally, everyone was happy, and the person who bought the treasure map made a lot of money. If not, it will be a loss, so what to do about the people who want to buy the treasure map have their own measurements in their minds, and those who don't want to buy estimate how to guarantee that they will not bid.
However, in order to sell the treasure map at a higher price, the auctioneer still needs to dispel some of the doubts in the minds of buyers. So he continued: "Maybe everyone will think that if this treasure map is really real, why don't we dig it ourselves? There are two reasons not to do this.
The first is that the auction house needs to constantly have something new, although we will buy some good things in the hands of auctioneers. But don't monopolize it, otherwise all the good things will be in my own hands. And the auction is all about the general public, and I don't think you will be sitting here for this auction.
As for the second reason, this has to talk about our boss. Compared to what everyone knows about the Blood Mountain, this is another mysterious map discovered by Hope City players now. And the relationship between our boss and the monster on the Blood Mountain, or a hidden power Blood Demon Palace, I think everyone understands.
And because of the relationship between our boss and the Blood Demon Temple, as long as the people of our scavenger security company enter the Blood Mountain and encounter the monsters of the Blood Demon Temple, they will be beaten to the death. That is to say, the members of our company have entered the mountain of blood. The Temple of Blood Demon has a lot more hatred for our company personnel than for other players.
And although this treasure map is missing the most important corner, it is certain that the treasure contained in the treasure map is in the blood mountain. And where there are heavy treasures, there are naturally powerful monsters guarding them. To deal with powerful monsters, even if our boss is invincible, we need help, don't he?
And in the process of digging the treasure map, there must be a lot of movement, and there are many people who go. We are definitely not at ease with outsiders, but with our own words, we can't get rid of the hatred value of the Blood Demon Palace. That's why this treasure map is here. ”
As soon as the auctioneer explained this, everyone's faces became a little strange, after all, it was because of one person. Actually letting a monster community hatred value cover everyone in this person's power, I don't know if it's an honor or a tragedy. However, at the same time, everyone became relieved in their hearts as to why the scavenger auction house took out this treasure map.
Because since the Dead Treasure Map, as long as it is true, there must be a heavy treasure in it. And the anti-harvest monster with a heavy treasure will definitely be very powerful. This requires the treasure digger to take a lot of people to dig the treasure together. But because of the Blood Demon Temple, because of the scavengers, the hatred value of the entire scavenger security company.
It is destined that the scavenger security company cannot send a large number of people into the blood mountain to dig for treasure. And this kind of treasure exploration thing is naturally reassuring with your own people. If you cooperate with other potentials. Once there is a heavy treasure turning against each other, it is to be expected. The tone is wary of each other when the time comes, and it is better to take out the treasure map and sell it cleanly.
Of course, this does not rule out that the people of the scavenger security company have secretly sent people to the blood mountain to look for it, and they feel that the treasure is not proportional to their own investment, so they decisively give up and take out the treasure map for auction. After all, a group of people went in and the target was too big. As long as one or two people go in, as long as they are careful, it will be no problem to avoid the people in the Blood Demon Temple.
But although there are many people who have this idea, they are all opinions on this issue. As I said, buying a treasure map is like gambling. And there is no 100% certainty about anything, so if you don't want to take risks, then don't buy it.
"I've heard that the monsters in the Blood Mountains are very distinctive, and many of the places that are explored have a lot of treasures. I originally wanted to go in and see if I could make a small fortune, but because of you, if I encounter a monster from the Blood Demon Temple, I will be hunted down by a group of people from the Blood Demon Palace. I can't even go in and have a look. What the hell have you done to the Blood Demon Temple that their hatred for you can extend to the entire company? The water marriage looked at the scavenger and said.
"Nothing is that destroys their belief in the resurrection of the gods, but they should only be resurrected as a puppet of the gods, or a servant. Because if there really were gods, even if that resurrection ceremony was not small. But it has not reached the point where even the gods can be resurrected. The scavenger shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said.
The scavenger didn't expect that he just wanted to snatch a Blood Python Eye, and he had no intention of destroying the resurrection ritual of the Blood Demon Temple. will allow the Blood Demon Temple's hatred of itself to cover the entire security company. This has greatly reduced the benefits of the recent scavenger security company. Although there is not only one area of Blood Mountain around Hope City that has not been explored.
There are still many unexplored places in other directions, and to be precise, places more than 300 miles away from Hope City belong to the explored areas. There are countless treasures waiting to be unearthed inside. But it is undeniable that the Blood Mountain map is currently the most suitable map for Hope City players to explore. Not being able to enter this map to explore is indeed a big loss for the Scavenger Security Company. However, it was all to warn the Hunter that the promotion to the Order of the Hunter was totally worth it.
"Is there really a god in this world?" Originally, Shui Marriage just wanted to tease the scavenger, but he didn't expect to get this answer, so he asked with some curiosity.
"You ask me who I'm going to ask, but I'm not sure if there is one in reality. But there must be one in the game, otherwise the Blood Demon Temple wouldn't have come up with a resurrection ritual. The scavenger thought for a moment and spoke. Mo Lao and Li Lao both told the scavenger that this game was not simple, and after integrating into the game, the scavenger also felt that this game seemed to contain something. But for the ethereal existence of the gods, the scavengers are also a little unsure. But judging from the information we have so far, it seems that the gods really exist.
While the scavenger and the water marriage were talking, the auction of the treasure map of the last auction item had begun. The reserve price of the treasure map is not set at 100,000 gold coins, and each bid must not be less than 10,000 gold coins. This price is obviously a bit low for the last lot in the auction. And after the pricing, there was a cold situation. It is estimated that throughout the history of the auction house, the emergence of the situation of the cold sale of the finale items can be recorded in the history books.
"If no one bids, then the thing will be unsold." Although the auctioneer had expected the cold field below, the situation that no one bid was something that the auctioneer did not expect. After all, in the face of a mysterious treasure map, the price of 100,000 gold coins is not very high.
The auctioneer's voice fell, and there was still silence below, and after two repeated questions, there was still no response. The auctioneer sighed and admitted the biggest failure of the auction. Unexpectedly, he appeared in the auction hall of the finale item, ready to drop the hammer to put the treasure map off the auction, and then end the auction. Except for the coldness of this item at the end of the day. The whole auction was relatively successful, and it was a good thing to put down the shadow of the last item that was unsold and count the gains of this auction.
"Since no one bids, then I'll give 100,000 yuan, anyway, 100,000 gold coins is not a lot, so I should go to the casino and lose casually." Just as the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer and announce the end of the auction for the treasure map, a rich middle-aged man spoke.
The middle-aged man was biting a cigar in his mouth and carrying a large gold ring encrusted with precious stones on his finger. However, the frowns of the people next to him swallowed the clouds one by one. It's all fat belly wrapped in a wide warrior armor, which makes people feel a little nondescript. Because this equipment is worn on his body, it makes people feel less like a warrior, but like a ball of meat wrapped in a layer of iron. And he was dressed in an upstart atmosphere, and he was wearing an ordinary piece of armor. Still smoking a cigar, this shape makes people a little speechless.
"It's not good, it's really not a lot of 100,000 gold coins. Just take it as a small gamble, I'll give 200,000 gold coins. "Another player stepped forward to make a bid. However, compared to the nondescript middle-aged people, this open-mouthed player is much more handsome.
But it gives people the feeling of a loser and a rich second generation. As soon as he bids, it feels like he's not looking for an item. Instead, I want to make a little movement in this cold situation to attract attention and get in the limelight. Otherwise, the treasure map that no one wants, it is estimated that you can buy it by adding 10,000 gold coins at will. He doubled the price directly, except for the loser and the desire to be in the limelight. Those present could not think of another plausible explanation.
"Then I'll pay 300,000, even if this treasure map is fake. But the texture is really good, although such a large piece is a bit small, but it is still good to make a heart shield in the heart of the heart. The test just now seems to be invulnerable, and it's not very heavy. The bid of the rich second generation made the middle-aged man frown slightly, giving people a feeling of being a little angry after being provoked.
However, the reason given by the middle-aged man for buying made people a little speechless, and the piece of animal skin was inlaid on the armor as a heart guard, and the middle-aged man could figure out this usage. But then again, if this treasure map is really invulnerable. It's a little smaller, but it's more than enough to cover your chest with your clothes.
Although buying a treasure map instead of digging for treasure, but using it as body armor is a bit speechless. But this idea of the middle-aged man is really eye-catching, after all, the game of fate is too virtual. If you are attacked, you can use this animal skin as body armor, and you may be able to save your life at a critical moment. (To be continued......)
