Chapter 89

The interior of the auction house had already been arranged. The high platform in front was covered with velvet and various artworks were displayed. The outlines of the artworks included paintings, sculptures and jewelry.

After Ye Bai entered, a waiter took her to her seat and provided her with the corresponding bidding number. She just had to raise the number and bid when bidding.

Ye Bai looked down at the license plate he had received: 233

...Okay, there are quite a lot of people at this auction.

After waiting for a while, the auctioneer walked onto the platform. The light around him dimmed, and the strongest light was shone on the platform. Ye Bai looked at the lamp and nodded secretly. In the field of convenient technology, the Alchemy School also has an advantage.

After completing the job transfer task this time, Ye Bai naturally had to follow the same method as last time in Melo City, and open up the trade route of this alchemy main city.

At the town level, commerce is an important driving force for the rapid development of the territory.

Opening trade routes not only brings productivity rewards, but also allows you to accumulate school tendencies. The earlier you accumulate, the greater the role it will play in the future.

The live auction was about to begin, just as the service staff was about to close the auction door.

"etc!"

The voice sounded familiar. Ye Bai turned around and saw the two players who had been stopped at the gate before appeared at the door. They were breathlessly blocking the door that was about to close.

"Come in." The manager who had driven away the two players before came up at this time. His face showed no emotion. He said something to the guard who was still in surprise, and let the two in and arranged them in the last row of empty seats.

"Um?"

Ye Bai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that these two people actually found a way to get in.

However, looking at the fact that their clothes have not changed, perhaps they came in through some kind of mission or the influence of an NPC.

After taking a look, Ye Bai looked away.

At this time, the auctioneer on the podium knocked on the table with a wooden hammer, drawing everyone's attention back to the two players.

"Dear guests, welcome to the Figol Treasures Auction. This auction features 32 treasures, each of which is a rare gem in the world. I hope everyone here will leave satisfied!"

The auction began with the auctioneer's lavish praises on the stage.

"Now, let's take a look at the first lot of today's auction, from a famous painter from two hundred years ago..."

The auction proceeded in an orderly manner. Almost all the exhibits had bids. Even though not every item was sold at a high price, there were no embarrassing situations where items failed to be sold.

Ye Bai didn't take any action as she didn't see the target. At the same time, she was secretly paying attention to the movements of the two players and found that they had not made any bids.

In the last row of the auction venue, two players kept their eyes on the platform.

Suddenly, when the alchemist saw the next lot, his expression suddenly became excited and he said to his companion:

"Here it comes! That's it!"

"The 21st collection, wow, a precious [Klin-97] alchemical golem! It's registered in the Larn City Golem Archives, and we have all the legal documents for it."

As the velvet cloth was removed, the auctioneer on the stage immediately began to introduce the item in an alluring tone.

"Although this piece has lost its magical power, the Klin model golem was only produced for ten years, and No. 97 here is the last one. Its historical heritage and collectible value are self-evident. Are there any customers who would like to collect this precious and valuable special treasure?"

"The starting price for this Klin-97 Alchemical Golem is only 1 gold coin!"

As the bid came in, there was a buzz of conversation in the venue, but no one bid immediately.

Because none of the NPCs present were blind, the golems on the stage were once very precious. An intact ordinary golem would cost more than 20 gold coins. Even a damaged version with ineffective magic power, if in good condition, would be deeply loved by collectors, and the highest price ever sold was 10 gold coins.

But the prerequisite is that the appearance is intact. After removing the velvet cloth from the golem on the platform in front of us, a simple assessment of its appearance can be described as an ultimate battle-damaged version.

The appearance of a golem is generally a humanoid made of various materials. With the development of aesthetics and the times, there are also special golems that imitate animal shapes. They look very hard and the range of motion of their joints is very small. Because of the spell attacks released by the golem, it does not need to give up its own advantages for close combat.

Most of the body of the golem on the platform in front of him had melted away. No one knew what had happened to it. Most of its body seemed to have been corroded by something terrible, leaving only half a head and an empty chest. If it weren't for the relevant registration certificate, it would look like a broken sculpture.

The purpose of buying a golem to take home was to show off one's own strength and financial resources. However, it was hard to tell whether this golem was a golem or not. Of course, it did not win the favor of the noble merchants present, and it fell into a brief silence.

At this moment, when the auctioneer wiped his forehead with embarrassment, the last row of people in the venue raised their bidding placards.

The number plate read 261, and the auctioneer quickly recognized it as the last guest to enter the venue.

The auctioneer immediately called out, "Number 261! Customer 261 has a discerning eye and bids one gold coin and five silver coins. Are there any other customers who would like to bid higher?"

Suda, holding up the sign, looked at the deserted scene in the auction hall, his heart pounding. His fellow gunner He Lin beside him also showed a look of nervousness.

There is a chance to find a bargain!

Yesterday, Suda was tasked with delivering a bill for a noble NPC named Sir Luofu in the city. By chance, he entered the Figol Museum of Art. Then, when he passed by a broken golem being transported, he triggered a temporary task "A Different Feeling".

After learning from the NPC that it was a golem that was to be auctioned the next day, Suda followed the quest clues and went to the Golem Archives in Larn City. He completed a quest for the administrator to gain enough favor before being allowed to browse the catalog of reported damaged golems.

He then put aside leveling and spent an entire gaming day carefully sorting through a large number of files, finally finding out the reason why the golem was reported damaged.

Finally, he mobilized his friends to collect old newspapers about the magician's exposure, went to the alchemy laboratory he had rented to investigate, asked historians to decipher the code, and finally obtained a historical clue called "Supernormal Disintegration".

Extraordinary Disintegration, this name sounds extraordinary!

Suda did not follow the mainstream StarCraft and choose to change his job to a magician or warlock, but instead chose the alchemist who "relies on external objects", which was a comprehensive consideration of the game's development.

Alchemist is a profession that requires "氪金". This 氪金 is of course not real money, but game money.

Alchemists are both rich and poor, because their fighting method is to control alchemical creations to fight. It costs money to make new props and various combat losses also cost money. Even if they can make money by making alchemical creations and selling them to players and NPCs, they will need to spend it all soon.

In reality, Suda is one of the heirs of a top chaebol in a galaxy civilization. He is not the most common interstellar agent in the Blue Star Service. Because he is busy improving his real mental power, Suda registered in the Blue Star Service by chance and stayed in Larn City to develop.

In terms of economic conditions, Suda is better off than other Blue Star Service agents. The civilization he lives in is controlled by several major financial groups, and his family is one of them.

Taking advantage of the comprehensive advantages, Suda chose to change his job to an alchemist. Just like in reality, he exploited millions of people to support himself, thereby quickly improving his character level and enhancing his mental strength.

In Suda's opinion, this hidden task should be to repair the golem. If he can possess an alchemical golem that only a level 40 alchemist can possess when he is in his twenties, then he will definitely be the undisputed number one in the future player circle of Larn City.

Even in the Blue Star server, he is a well-known strong man under Bai Ye.

"Guest No. 233! 1 gold coin and 10 silver coins!"

At this moment, the auctioneer's voice sounded again.

A new bid interrupted Suda's thoughts. If no additional bid was made, the default price increase would be 5 silver coins each time the bid was raised.

Seeing this, Suda raised his hand again without hesitation, and directly raised the price on the basis of the original price, shouting: "1 gold coin 50 silver coins!"

"Guest No. 233 bids 1 gold coin and 60 silver coins!" Seeing the bidding, the host's tone became enthusiastic.

Suda looked in the direction of the bid, but it was pitch black and he could not see anything. He only knew that guest No. 233 was sitting in the middle of the auction. He thought that after raising the price, he would be able to make the other party take a step back, but he did not expect that the other party would raise the bid again immediately.

Suda raised his sign again: "1 gold coin, 80 silver coins."

Auctioneer: "1 gold coin and 85 silver coins."

"2 gold coins!" Suda raised the sign and shouted directly, also getting angry.

Gold coins are precious in the universe. If it were an auction in reality, Suda would have raised the price long ago.

Suda can be said to be the richest player in Larn City. He has more than 3 gold coins in the event game. If he sells his assets urgently and buys game coins in reality, he can get more than 1 gold coin!

Suda did some research before deciding to come to the auction and found that a golem that was so badly damaged could not be sold for more than 5 gold coins.

There was a brief silence. Suda thought the other party could not follow him, but unexpectedly, a lazy voice sounded from the other side:

"Five gold coins."

Suda's head buzzed: Didn't they say it couldn't exceed 5 gold coins...
