Chapter 168 Auction
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Mu arrived at the auction hall on time.
This was her first time at the auction. After handing in the invitation, she was led to a private room with an open view. The room was not large, but it had everything it needed. There were exquisite snacks on the table, and in front was a transparent viewing platform. The glass was designed for one-way view, which meant that she could see outside, but people outside could not see her.
From her position, she could see a crowd of people sitting in the hall outside.
There is also a huge video display in the center.
It seemed as if they were afraid that she wouldn't be able to see the items on the display stand, so there was a clear video display to ensure that she could clearly see every aspect of the items on display.
Soon, the auction began.
Yu Mu looked at the auction items intently and saw that the first auction item was a limited edition luxury bag from a certain brand. The starting price was 200,000 gold coins, and each bid increase could not be less than 10,000.
On the display, the bag is cyan.
The texture looked like leather, and the auctioneer was explaining it with great enthusiasm: "This bag is made of python hide, which is at least level 4. It has a bonus effect on users with water or ice attributes. The entire bag is inlaid with white moonstone, representing longing. Master Michael also made this bag specifically for his wife, symbolizing eternal and faithful love. It's the perfect gift for a loved one. Okay, number five bids 250,000 gold coins."
Before the introduction was finished, someone started bidding.
"Number 110 bids 300,000. Any other bidders?"
"Number 90 bids 350,000 gold coins, and Number 11 bids 360,000 gold coins..."
I have to say that this bag is very popular and people rushed to buy it as soon as it came out.
Yu Mu had no interest in these things that looked good but were useless. Seeing the snacks on the table, he had nothing to do, so he ate while looking at them. Soon, the bag was sold for 400,000 gold coins.
Next came various luxury goods or jewelry, none of which she wanted, and her dozens of supernatural balls appeared in the second half of the auction, so Yu Mu waited silently until she saw a black long knife.
"This knife is made of the ninth-order bloodthirsty crocodile, the weapon of choice for dark-attribute espers. This knife hasn't been sealed yet. If ninth-order or higher materials were added, its quality would be further improved. It could easily break through the protective defenses of ninth-order espers or lower, and the same applies to energy beasts. The auction is now open. The starting price is one million gold coins, and the bid must be no less than fifty thousand gold coins."
"One million and one hundred thousand."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone made a bid.
"Number 15 bids 1,100,000."
"One million and two hundred thousand."
"One million two hundred and fifty thousand."
…
Yu Mu was also very tempted by this knife. After all, it had dark attributes, which was just right for her to use. Moreover, she was in need of a knife right now. However, she couldn't help but frown when she saw the price. She could still buy it for one million gold coins, but in the blink of an eye, the price of this knife had risen to two and a half million.
"Two million seven hundred thousand gold coins!"
"Two million eight hundred thousand gold coins."
It’s as if the money is free and the price keeps going up. Where do these people get so much money?
Why did she see so many poor people? Yu Mu didn't want to buy weapons anymore. She started to eat the snacks on the table angrily. These pastries were very sweet and the cream inside was pure and rich. It was something she hadn't eaten for a long time. When she was in her hometown, she liked to eat creamy things the most.
Especially ice cream.
And now?
She has been here for a long time, but she is only now eating cream and cannot afford to buy weapons. Why did she feel rich yesterday but feel poor now?
Unable to even afford a weapon he wanted, Yu Mu once again looked at the black long sword angrily. The sword showed off itself in the video, and it looked really majestic.
no!
When she returns, she must work hard to make money and not let herself be so poor.
"good!"
"Number One bids four million gold coins. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
The auctioneer asked at this time.
No one shouted anymore, so the auctioneer banged the hammer and said, "The Bloodthirsty Long Sword has been won by number one. The price is four million gold coins."
Soon the long sword was bought by someone, and Yu Mu felt a little bored. She didn't learn anything else from coming to this auction, but she did understand one thing: no matter how rich she was, she would still feel poor.
Knock knock.
At this moment, there was a knock on the box door.
"Come in."
Yu Mu asked curiously, wondering who would come to see him at the auction. Could it be Luo Qing? After all, he was the only one who knew his exact location here, and it was he who gave him the invitation.
The door opened, and it was Luo Qing who came in.
Following behind him was a woman holding a tray in her hand. On the tray was a long object wrapped tightly in a black cloth.
"You're here."
Yu Mu was very happy to see Luo Qing. He immediately stood up and asked, "Did you just get here?"
"No, I've been here for a while."
At this time, the woman put down the things and left. Yu Mu looked at the long object on the table curiously and looked at Luo Qing in confusion.
"This is a gift from me to you, open it and take a look."
"ah!"
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
Yu Mu was extremely surprised. She was not used to accepting things from strangers, but she was already very familiar with Luo Qing, and she had no resistance to things given by Luo Qing. She immediately opened it and saw that it was a long black sword.
The long sword exudes a deep coldness, and its power can be felt just by looking at it, even without touching it.
No one doubts that this knife can cut through iron like mud and cut through anything it wants to cut!
This is not comparable to the ordinary knives she bought from the market before.
"Is this the bloodthirsty long sword?"
Yu Mu looked at Luo Qing in shock.
Because this knife is exactly the same as the bloodthirsty long knife that was sold at a sky-high price just now, even the details of the pattern are the same. This is too valuable.
"Um."
Luo Qing smiled and said, "I know you've advanced, but you don't have a weapon that suits you. When I saw this long sword, I felt it was made for you. It will suit you very well. Do you like it?"
"like."
Yu Mu happily picked up the big knife, felt the momentum on it, and then retracted his hand.
This knife has a murderous aura. I can feel a tingling sensation in my hand even before I touch it. It seems that if I want to use it smoothly, I need to be more familiar with the long knife to avoid accidentally hurting myself.
"It's just too expensive. I'll return the money to you after I auction off my power ball."
Luo Qing gave her something to make her happy.
But they were just friends, and she really couldn't afford the gift of four million gold coins he gave her. If it were cheaper, she might not care so much.
