Chapter 743: Fairy Stone Boqing
The bidding started an hour earlier than originally announced.
Song Shiyi could only repeat: "This is a notice from Daqin, saying that in order to reduce external interference and ensure the fairness of the entire bidding, the venue must be cleared in advance."
Lu Yao didn't care.
Shuide Tower is a multi-legged pavilion built on an island in the lake. It has a small tower at each corner and is supported by multiple columns. The whole building looks like a palace on the water, solemn and elegant.
Arriving downstairs, Lu Yao, Song Shiyi and Isabel each received a bidding tag from the waiter at the door, a palm-sized wooden sign representing their identity.
Lu Yao pinched his fingers, and powerful black characters "Yellow Armor of the Great Qin God" appeared on the wooden sign.
Before coming here, Song Shiyi had already said that if there is a project, plan or target that you want to participate in, you should use the bidding tag to quote after entering.
The main subjects of this bidding are some large projects, including the joint development rights for certain worlds, the license and dissemination rights of mythological beliefs in some frontier provinces, and some mineral resources in the overseas enclaves of the Qin Dynasty.
To participate in the bidding, you not only need to quote, but also provide a detailed cooperation plan.
None of this has anything to do with Lu Yao.
He was only concerned with the psychic devices that might be put up.
After entering the Shuide Building, Lu Yao saw that it was full of dark figures, making him feel like he had accidentally entered a Conan suspect team building.
Originally, under the constraints of the Qin Empire, it was difficult for the gods here to view other people's panels, and now they are even less able to observe other people's faces.
This is a bearer bid.
Everyone was unable to observe each other directly, and could only hear some very strange and fragmented sounds, as if they were whispering to an ancient god. Everyone seemed to have turned on a voice changer, and it was impossible to tell what they were saying.
If Song Shiyi and Isabel hadn't been around, Lu Yao wouldn't have been sure who the two shadowy figures were.
Inside the room was a large fan-shaped stage, with all the seats extending in all directions around the stage. Many shadowy figures had already taken their seats.
Lu Yao found a seat in the corner and sat down. Song Shiyi and Isabel also took their seats.
The shadowy figure next to him extended his hand towards Lu Yao.
Lu Yao wasn't sure if she was Song Shiyi or Isabel.
He noticed that the other person was holding a piece of wood between his fingers.
Lu Yao also imitated the other person and stretched out the wooden sign, and the two of them touched each other's bidding tags.
Song Shiyi's face suddenly appeared.
"I was a little distracted on the way and forgot to tell you this." She said a little embarrassedly: "As long as we exchange each other's competitive labels, we can see each other's appearance and have a normal conversation."
So Lu Yao and Isabel also exchanged.
The young apostle girl also recovered from the shadow.
Lu Yao said, "Oh, right. Why did Rome and Wuyouxiang buy real estate in Daqin?"
He was still a little confused about this.
It is understandable that Wuyou Township wanted to attack Rome, but why did Rome engage in real estate? "It was mainly to obtain the certificate of ordination."
Song Shiyi explained: "Daqin has strict control over gods. It is difficult for foreign gods to obtain god certificates in Daqin. The only one allowed by Daqin before was [Penglai]. But after the honeymoon period between the two sides ended, Penglai's god certificates were also taken back and invalidated by Daqin."
"We were able to obtain the certificate of ordination because of the application of Lieutenant General Wei Qixiang and the close cooperation between the committee and the Qin Empire."
"Although it is difficult to obtain divine certificates, ordinary people can obtain secular certificates as long as they move here and own a house. Wuyou Township and Rome used this method to send their believers in as mythological agents, thus indirectly exerting influence from ordinary people to the court."
Lu Yao suddenly realized.
It turns out to be a matter of buying a house and settling down as an agent.
At this time, a mighty man in a black robe and a small crown on his head walked out slowly from behind the stage. He first bowed with both hands and then gave an opening speech.
Then a group of dancers and musicians came on stage and began a singing and dancing performance.
Lu Yao was speechless.
The tradition of playing music and dancing at large events in Chinese civilization does seem to have existed since ancient times, but the styles and methods vary slightly in different eras.
Fortunately, the man is handsome and the woman is pretty, which looks pleasing to the eye.
The dancing of both men and women on the stage was passionate, unrestrained and generous, which showed the heroic characteristics and bold spirit of the Qin Empire.
As the dancers stepped back, the bidding officially began.
Two men in black robes pulled open a huge scroll, and a disk-shaped world appeared on it.
"This is the overseas territory of the Qin Empire, Jianzhou."
The master of ceremonies said: "Jianzhou has a flat terrain, rich feng shui, and the people of Jian are diligent and kind..."
He gave a long speech, the general meaning of which was that he wanted to sell the right to spread the faith of the Jianzhou world.
The bidding was completed soon.
The next one is a civilization chain, consisting of 11 worlds.
…
Lu Yao yawned when he heard this.
He is not interested in any of these.
The appearance of the seventh bidding item finally caught his attention.
"This is the 'Psychic Encapsulator' seized by the Qin Dynasty. It is intact and has not been damaged in any way."
The MC looked at the guests present and said, "This item is not only an important tool for studying the craftsmanship of the Eldar, but also has a very high collection and use value."
"The starting price is 30 million faiths."
Lu Yao wrote 60 million on the bidding tag with his hand and raised it.
The MC was surprised: "A VIP has offered 60 million, is there any bid?"
The musician next to them began to play the chimes. After the song was over, if no one bid higher, the item would be officially sold.
After a moment, the MC said, "A VIP has offered 72 million. Is there any more?"
This time, Lu Yao directly went to 100 million.
"10 million! Are there any more bids?" The host's voice became noticeably louder, trying to encourage more people to participate.
But this time there were no bidders.
The song is over.
The host said softly, "The bidding is over. Next item."
…
Lu Yao was in a good mood.
Now I have obtained two psychic devices, which are two psychic valves.
Mission accomplished.
Lu Yao chatted with Song Shiyi about gossip in a relaxed manner, mainly talking about what to eat for midnight snack. Song Shiyi introduced many Xianyang delicacies.
When she talked about food, her tone became much lighter: "Speaking of which, there are many hometown delicacies here, such as moon cakes, roujiamo, xianle and hot pot, which were introduced from our place."
Lu Yao was shocked.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Daqin was actually invaded by delicious food.
However, they all belong to Chinese culture, and at best it can be regarded as a food exchange between brother civilizations.
"In Xianyang City, hot pot and roujiamo are very popular."
Song Shiyi said enthusiastically: "The history of the Qin Dynasty diverged from ours. The food here tends to be practical and minimalist. People fought wars all year round, and later they incorporated many foreign ethnic foods. In addition, the territory continued to expand, and the people of the Qin Dynasty valued martial arts and pursued achievements, so the food development was not as good as ours."
Lu Yao immediately realized: "You mean, there are people from Earth living in Daqin?"
"have."
Song Shiyi nodded: "A long time ago, people migrated here to avoid disaster. Didn't Tao Yuanming write "Peach Blossom Spring"? It is a true record."
The words he had memorized that year reflexively popped up in Lu Yao's mind.
During the Taiyuan Period of the Jin Dynasty, people in Wuling made a living by fishing. When asked what era it was, they did not even know about the Han Dynasty, let alone the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
The people in Taohuayuan were fleeing from the war during the Qin Dynasty and met a fisherman who had strayed into the area.
"However, due to various reasons, some of the departure points were not completely closed at that time, which resulted in people sometimes mistakenly entering and descending to the Great Qin side... But now this situation almost never happens. It is only possible that they actively descended and migrated here."
Lu Yao couldn't help but wonder: "Has anyone from the Qin Dynasty ever been to Earth?"
“Short-range, yes.”
Song Shiyi said: "But it is impossible to settle down for a long time, because of the 15-day limit of the high and low boundary dimensions. The high boundary dimension can be reduced and completely integrated into the low boundary dimension, but the low boundary dimension cannot be stabilized in the high boundary dimension."
As the two were chatting, something on the stage caught Lu Yao's attention.
It was a translucent column with spikes on the edge, and the whole thing was slightly curved.
The MC introduced: "The origin of this item is unknown, and its production place and material are unknown. It comes from a small cave. The cave protects it layer by layer, with monsters, puppets and talismans to protect it. It is of great value for collection and research, so we named it "Dongtian Zang". At present, we only know that the power of faith can make the crystal skull glow. Since there is only one of it, the cost of loss is high, so Daqin cannot bear to let it be damaged. "
"The starting price is 60 million faiths."
The clear and bright sound of chimes rang out again.
This time, we waited for a long time before someone offered 65 million.
Lu Yao raised the bidding tag.
The MC said, "10 million! Any more bids?"
No one followed up.
Lu Yao took it.
He was actually not sure of the value of this thing, but the host's description reminded him of light gold. Light gold, which was refined from Xiran, would also glow when it encountered the fire of faith, and it was also impossible to detect. He didn't know if there was any connection between the two.
Buy it if you can, the price is not bad anyway.
Later, Daqin sold several more wonders, all of which were obtained by killing gods or from other civilizations. Some of them were high-end goods that could increase population, help increase faith output, and come with their own technology trees. However, the prices of these were ridiculously high, and the cheapest one was sold for 3.9 billion.
Lu Yao gave up directly.
Now is the stage of fierce competition among large groups.
The second-to-last item, [Falling Treasure Money], pushed the entire auction to a climax. This mythical item can directly collect items used by gods, which is incredible. The host called out a starting price of 100 million, and then it was quickly pushed up to just over 12 billion by all parties before it was finally sold.
Lu Yao also clapped his hands, the important thing was to participate.
However, he did not need this treasure that much. He had the [Money-Gathering Whip] that Zhao Gongming had used to punish [Falling Treasure Money] in the past. Falling Treasure Money was useless against this special object.
The person on the stage said, "Dear guests, please watch."
"The finale is this 'Fairy Stone Boqing'."
A stone twelve-sided dice slowly emerged in the center of the platform. It spun slowly in the air, as if it was being turned by an invisible force, and the final number could not be determined.
The master of ceremonies solemnly introduced: "This is the most precious treasure of the Great Qin. At that time, His Majesty the First Emperor used this treasure to play chess and divine with the immortals, and thus traveled to the land of immortals and calculated the danger of the Great Qin... I believe there is no need for me to elaborate on this matter."
"The Fairy Stone Boqing is a secret treasure that the First Emperor obtained with untold hardships. It was originally owned by a fairy, but because of a connection with the First Emperor, he brought it back to the Qin Dynasty."
Lu Yao was a little stunned.
He had asked Sui Zhu and Bi before, the land of fairies is the spirit world, and fairies should be the spirit race.
This kind of thing is actually being auctioned? "The 'Shi Huang Shi Bo Qiong' keeps spinning because the fairy is trying to play chess again, but doesn't know that the first emperor has passed away. You can bid for this rare opportunity to play chess with the fairy once in a thousand years. No cheating, one billion per time."
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
high.
It’s really high.
The First Emperor used the stone to predict the fate of the country.
In this generation, the empire was in economic crisis, and revenue was generated by selling tickets for playing chess with fairies.
All I can say is that Daqin does seem to be facing economic difficulties.
Lu Yao thought about it and finally clapped his hands.
Now that you are here, you might as well give it a try.
