After preparing for transmigration, Xia Yuan, a top player of storyline mages in his previous life, transmigrated into an NPC, and was even the fourth son of the newly born Duke of the Empire!
<...Chapter 248 The Masked Man Collapses
"…Its texture is extremely solid. Even a rank 7 professional would have difficulty scraping off even a tiny bit of dust from its surface.
According to our professional appraisers, the special vortex structure in the crystal can effectively improve meditation efficiency and bring a very wonderful experience to the meditator.
Most importantly, its effect is also effective for high-level professionals! It can also be used together with all treasures that improve the efficiency of cultivation! "
At the auction table, Manglio was still trying hard to explain to the guests.
"According to the owner of this auction item, it is not actually from this world, but fell from the starry sky! Of course, the truth of this information is up to you, the distinguished guests, to judge for yourself—"
"As for whether there are more mysterious effects, you will need to explore them on your own. Perhaps it also hides some more amazing uses that our appraisers have not yet detected..."
Listening to the auctioneer's talk, the black-robed man couldn't help but sneer on his masked face.
It's normal that the waste appraisers at the auction house cannot identify its true identity.
How could an egg that originated from ancient starry sky life not have any "protective color"?
During this trip, the organization allocated him millions of gold coins, which was enough to buy two or three times these relatively ordinary items.
The man in black robe had already started planning in his mind how to leave the capital without attracting attention after getting the crystal.
Since ordinary methods can no longer awaken this decadent and dark era, then let him completely ignite the dawn of a new era with the flame of resistance! . ….….On the top floor, Avis calmly stared at the azure crystal on the stage.
Although this is just a rhetoric, I have to say that this time the auctioneer was unexpectedly right, and its other uses are indeed amazing.
This auction method is a common practice of Gloria Auction House. As the first and finale of the auction, a strange object with a mysterious origin is arranged to entice those who want to find a bargain.
These strange objects are often created in various extreme environments and have acquired unique special effects.
Sometimes, appraisers are unable to fully identify their functions. At this time, buyers have the opportunity to purchase a very precious treasure at a relatively low price, which is the so-called "picking up a bargain".
Since the VIPs present are all wealthy and extremely confident, this arrangement often works wonders.
As for how many people actually got lucky, as far as Avis could remember, there had been no such cases in the previous six hundred years.
But this time, there was a real 'big leak'.
Of course, since he is here, this crystal can only be his.
Moreover, there is more than one 'leak'.
As he thought about it, Avis glanced around the crowd in the venue and the boxes on the second floor with a playful expression.
To him, the crystal on the table is like bait, and he can also catch a fish by the way.
"... Then, today's first treasure, this rare crystal from the starry sky, has a starting price of 100,000 gold coins! Each bid must not be less than 1,000 gold coins!"
"Now, I declare that the auction begins!"
Finally, as the auctioneer finished his words, the crowd in the venue immediately began to bid.
"One hundred thousand and one hundred thousand gold coins!"
"One hundred and five thousand gold coins!"
"One hundred and ten thousand gold coins!"
"One hundred and one thousand gold coins!"
…
Since the reserve price was high, there were not many people bidding in the hall, and the price increases were not high. Most of the people competing were the guests in the private rooms on the second floor.
Many noble children like this kind of auction which has a bit of gambling nature. In addition, the crystals are indeed quite effective in increasing the speed of cultivation, so this auction is more intense than in the past.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand gold coins!"
When the price was raised to 220,000 gold coins, only the people in the three boxes and the two people in the sales floor were still bidding.
…
"Two hundred and sixty thousand gold coins!"
When the price reached 260,000 gold coins, only guests in Box 16 and 74 in the venue were still bidding against each other.
"Three hundred thousand gold coins!"
In the end, when guest No. 74 offered 300,000 gold coins, the people in box No. 16 also gave up and stopped bidding.
Three hundred thousand gold coins was already a huge sum of money, even a viscount would feel a little pain in his heart if he paid it out. It was obviously not worth it to buy a strange item that could increase the speed of meditation at such a price.
"Three hundred thousand gold coins for the first time! Anyone else want to bid?"
At the auction table, Manglio was very satisfied that this rare crystal stone could be sold at such an unexpectedly high price.
His previous estimate of the transaction price for this crystal was no more than 240,000 gold coins.
But when he was about to end the auction according to the procedure, a new price suddenly appeared in the top-floor box that had been silent for a long time.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand."
Inside the box, everyone looked at Avis, who suddenly controlled the magic circle to bid, with some surprise in their eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that? This is the main reason why I came here this time."
Avis smiled calmly and explained calmly.
The two players looked at each other and suddenly remembered that the person next to them was the richest person present.
Fiona's eyes were also a little dazed.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After all, unlike Avis, who developed new products on his own, dumped them all over the continent, and owned a bunch of mines and industries, her resource quota was still based on the normal standards for family descendants.
Bidding for one or two small items worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands is a piece of cake, but if she bids for a finale item just for fun, she would be reluctant to part with it.
In the venue, the masked man in black robe looked at the top-floor box that suddenly made a bid, a little dazed.
"Four hundred thousand gold coins!"
Gritting his teeth, the man in black robe continued to bid tentatively.
"Five hundred thousand gold coins."
He added 100,000 gold coins without any care. While making the bid, Avis gave instructions to his family guards in front of the two players.
"Find a way to catch up with guest number 74, and arrange for someone to check the identity of guest number 74 and whether there is any force behind him. Be careful not to alarm him."
Although the security of Gloria Auction House was known to be the best in the empire, it was not strong enough to prevent Olivendi's intelligence agency from finding out the identity of even an ordinary guest.
In the meeting room, the masked man in black robe suddenly realized that he was facing a problem that he had never thought about before, but which was extremely fatal at this moment.
He might not be able to afford that crystal!
"Six hundred thousand gold coins!"
At this moment, he could only pray for a miracle and hope that the VIP in the top box did not bring enough budget for this trip.
"Seven hundred thousand gold coins."
"Eight hundred thousand gold coins!"
…
On the auction table, Manglio was holding the gavel, a little dazed.
With the price reaching this level and one of the parties being a guest in the top-floor box, the situation was no longer under his control.
He suddenly had a feeling that the appraisers at the auction house might have really made a mistake and missed a big fish...
"One million and seventy thousand gold coins!"
The last time he raised his hand, the man in black robe directly bet all his money on it, hoping that after the price exceeded one million, the mysterious VIP would give up and give up bidding.
"One million and seventy-one thousand gold coins."
Avis casually typed out a price. He was now extremely certain that the guest number 74 was definitely related to the future rebel organization 'Final Dawn'.
Damn it…
Looking at this offer, the man in black robe almost died of anger.
