Chapter 325: The Good Things That Make Your Heart Beat
Wanbao Auction House, the third floor pavilion.
The attic room that Manager Yu prepared for Su Ming was the same one he prepared last time.
However, according to Su Ming's request, there was no receptionist here to entertain him this time. Only some service staff would knock on the door from time to time, bring Su Ming fruit desserts, and then leave, leaving Su Ming alone in the room.
"Yes, it's quiet."
Su Ming sat on the sofa, holding an unknown fruit and chewing it while looking into the venue through the window in front of him.
At this time, the seats in the venue had been filled one after another. The number of people was far greater than the last auction. Even some followers, guards and other people did not have seats and could only stand aside, making the venue appear to be a large sea of people, making it look very lively.
Su Ming looked around and found that many of the acquaintances he had seen at the door were no longer in the venue.
"In one of the other chambers?"
Su Ming listened attentively, but unfortunately he could not hear any movement coming from the other rooms.
The soundproofing effect of these rooms is quite good. When bidding, special props must be used, otherwise the sound will be difficult to transmit.
This made Su Ming have some rather evil thoughts.
"I wonder if there's any dandy boy who's just suddenly in the mood to have sex with those high-class receptionists right in the attic."
This evil thought did not last long.
Because, soon, the door of Su Mingge's room was knocked again.
However, the person who came in this time was not a waiter delivering fruits and desserts, but a beautiful figure that was eye-catching and impressive.
"I didn't neglect you, did I? Master Wang?"
The chief auctioneer of this auction appeared silently, and Su Ming, who was just about to take a sip of his drink, was almost choked by the overly delicate voice.
"Why are you here, Chief Qin?"
Su Ming looked at Qin Qing with strange eyes.
Qin Qing quietly came to Su Ming's room, which surprised Su Ming as he thought it was just a service staff.
Looking at Su Ming's stunned expression, Qin Qing's lips curled up slightly.
"Didn't Young Master Wang say that he didn't want to be stared at by a woman who was as fierce as a wolf?" Qin Qing said with a half-smile, "Then Qin Qing should not be included, right?"
Seeing that Qin Qing did not explain her purpose but teased him instead, Su Ming could not help but roll his eyes.
"Who knows if it's Chief Qin?" Su Ming curled his lips and said, "Maybe our Chief Qin unexpectedly wants to find a companion, isn't that possible?"
Hearing this, Qin Qing did not feel embarrassed or angry, but instead smiled.
"If the right person really appears, Qin Qing wouldn't mind being a woman as fierce as a wolf or a tiger."
These words really make people think a lot.
After all, Chief Qin has come to the door on his own initiative. If those who have improper thoughts about Qin Qing and are overly self-conscious hear this, they may think that Qin Qing is hinting at them and that they are the "right person" that Qin Qing mentioned.
Of course, such people do not include Su Ming.
"Since you are here, please take a seat, Chief Qin."
Su Ming stopped joking with Qin Qing, pointed to the side of the sofa and said this.
Qin Qing's brows suddenly raised slightly.
Because the pavilions here are prepared for use by those of noble status and extraordinary origin, there is only one sofa as the main seat in each pavilion, and there are no side seats for servants, followers or guards.
The sofa serving as the main seat is not small, and is more than enough for several people to sit on, but there is only one sofa after all. Except for people of equal status and who are relatively close, if they sit together, it will inevitably seem that their relationship is a little unusual.
Qin Qing glanced at Su Ming and saw that there was not much romance in his eyes and there was not much expression on his face. After thinking for a while, she finally took a step and sat next to Su Ming.
There was a rather subtle distance between the two of them. Although they were not touching each other, this distance was a distance that Qin Qing would not have been able to accept in the past.
Fortunately, Su Ming not only did not care about this, he didn't even look at Qin Qing for a second. Instead, he was looking at the various people in the venue with interest.
This made Qin Qing realize that Su Ming did not deliberately let her sit in such a delicate place to show closeness or create an ambiguous atmosphere, but he just said it casually and he had no extra awareness at all.
After understanding this, Qin Qing's feeling of rejection disappeared a lot.
As soon as the feeling of rejection disappeared, the feeling of novelty arose again.
There was no way, it was the first time for her to sit so close to a person of the opposite sex and sit on the same sofa. It was indeed a novel experience.
But this lucky man didn't seem to be very interested in her. He was still just looking at the interior of the venue with interest. For a moment, Qin Qing couldn't help but feel a little amused in her heart.
"What a wonderful person, Wang Yue."
Qin Qing muttered to himself.
Then, Qin Qing started talking about business.
"Later, when the auction officially begins, the bottle of Phantom Demon Blood that Young Master Wang brought will be the first to be brought out and become the first auction item."
Qin Qing explained the auction house's procedures to Su Ming.
"The first item to be auctioned is the blood of a dangerous demon. This will definitely heat up the atmosphere of the auction and increase the bidding for the items that follow."
This is a common tactic used by many auction houses. Not only will they have a finale item of sufficient weight, but they will also introduce a valuable treasure at the beginning to heat up the auction atmosphere. This will cause many bidders to bid for the items they like under the influence of the atmosphere. Even if the value of the item exceeds their bottom line, they will be temporarily affected and relax this bottom line.
This will be very beneficial for subsequent auctions.
"The finale of this auction is naturally the four red rubies."
Qin Qing took out a list and handed it to Su Ming.
"The order in which the auction items will appear is basically here. Master Wang, you can take a look at it."
After hearing Qin Qing's words, Su Ming also became curious.
"Last time you said that for this rare high-quality auction, you have prepared many more valuable auction items than in the past, right?" Su Ming said, "I want to see what will appear in this auction."
As he spoke, Su Ming took the list from Qin Qing's hand and began to flip through it.
After flipping through it, wow, there were quite a few things in it that made Su Ming feel excited.
The order of presentation of the items in this auction, except for the blood of the dangerous demon as the first item to be auctioned, and the four red trachelosperms as the finale items, Su Ming's pair of ghost hands collected from the bodies of the zombies were mixed in at a relatively later position. The starting price was the same as what Qin Qing said last time, set at 100,000 contribution points.
In addition, there are many good things in this auction with a starting price of 100,000 contribution points. Just looking at the starting price, you can tell how precious these things are.
Among them, there were three things that caught Su Ming's attention.
The three items were a bottle of alchemical potion, a small walking stick and a coat.
First is the bottle of alchemical potion, which is called cleaning potion.
Although the name is very mediocre, or even weird, it is actually a bottle of top-grade alchemical potion. It is a treasure that allows hunters to cleanse their bodies and minds and tap into the potential of their bloodlines.
According to the instructions on the list, one only needs to pour it when bathing and soak in the water overnight, which will allow the hunters to tap the potential power in the blood to the greatest extent, allowing their strength to increase rapidly overnight. The higher the level of the blood and the stronger the potential, the faster and greater the increase, and it is even possible to double the physical strength.
Such an alchemical potion could be used to quickly improve one's strength, and the efficiency of the improvement depended on the level of one's bloodline. For Su Ming, who possessed nightmare bloodline, it was simply tailor-made for him.
Su Ming had no doubt about the potential of the nightmare bloodline in his body, so it was impossible for Su Ming not to be tempted by this top-grade alchemical potion that could tap into the potential according to the level of bloodline and turn the potential into strength.
Secondly, the small cane also aroused Su Ming's interest.
Because, like Su Ming's psychic gun, it is an alchemical weapon used exclusively by warlocks.
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
The weapon is called Tianxin. It is forged from the heart of a rare tree that has grown for more than a thousand years in the S-level wonderland "Tree Demon Valley" and a variety of spiritual materials. When a warlock casts spiritual magic, he only needs to hold it in his hand to reduce the consumption of spiritual power, speed up the construction of the magic, and even enhance the power of the magic. The effect is countless times better than the psychic gun that is only enough for lower-level professionals to use.
Tianxin's quality is also very high, it is a top-notch product. Although it is not on the weapons list, it is a rare treasure for warlocks, and its value far exceeds those alchemical weapons that are on the weapons list.
This alchemical weapon used exclusively by warlocks also made Su Ming very excited.
As for the last coat, it was actually an alchemical armor.
Yes, not alchemical weapons, but alchemical armor.
As the name suggests, it is the armor version of alchemical weapons.
In this world, there are many alchemists who can make alchemical weapons, but there are very few alchemists who can make alchemical armor.
The reason is simple, it's just that professionals need weapons more than protective gear.
Hunters in particular do not have the spiritual magic that can restrain phantoms like warlocks. Therefore, when faced with phantoms that have regenerative abilities and can quickly recover from even the most serious injuries, hunters who have no means of restraint will need to spend a lot of energy and effort to defeat even the lowest-level phantom.
Without alchemical weapons, even a seven-star hunter who wants to defeat a low-level phantom demon needs to constantly bombard it and weaken its bloodline and power until it does not have enough magic power to regenerate.
Unfortunately, the number of hunters is much greater than that of warlocks, resulting in an extremely high demand for alchemical weapons.
Without alchemical weapons, it would be too exhausting for a hunter to defeat the phantom demon.
This is the situation when encountering a phantom demon that can be crushed.
If the hunter encounters a phantom demon of similar strength, without alchemical weapons, he will only be exhausted to death and there is no chance of winning.
For this reason, alchemical weapons became the only means for hunters to effectively kill phantom demons, resulting in alchemists usually only refining alchemical weapons and rarely considering the refining of protective gear.
What appeared this time was an alchemical armor that was rarely seen in the past. It had extremely excellent protective performance. It looked like just a coat, but in fact it was made of thirty-three kinds of insect magic silk with extremely high hardness and toughness, as well as dragon magic scales. Even if it was a full-strength attack from a dangerous species, it could reduce the damage by more than 80%.
Therefore, this rare alchemical armor was also rated as a fine-quality alchemical item, and its value was comparable to the few alchemical weapons at the bottom of the weapons list, including the vicious trap that Su Ming had already auctioned off.
Su Ming had never seen alchemical armor before.
He opened so many packages and found more than one alchemical weapon, but he has not found any alchemical armor yet.
In view of this, this alchemical armor also aroused his interest, and he could even say that he was very excited about it.
The value of each of the three auction items that Su Ming chose is no less than the three treasures he handed over to Wanbao Auction House for auction.
At the very least, their value is not inferior to the dangerous phantom blood and the claws of the ghoul.
If it weren't for the strategic significance of Red Trachelospermum, the great importance attached to the family power, and the great added value, then judging only by the effect and value of Red Trachelospermum itself, whether it could surpass these three treasures that made Su Ming excited would be a real unknown.
"You are planning to drain the wallets of everyone who comes here today."
Su Ming immediately felt this way.
Qin Qing smiled.
"This is a rare opportunity. We have found a lot of valuable items from the treasure house this time." Qin Qing said to Su Ming, "If Master Wang has anything he is interested in, it's okay for him to bid in advance."
What this means is that even if Su Ming does not have enough contribution points, their Wanbao Auction House will still accept credit.
"Isn't this bad?"
Su Ming blinked.
"Just consider it a good relationship." Qin Qing said meaningfully: "After all, Young Master Wang brought a lot of good things. If he can patronize our Wanbao Auction House next time, it will definitely be a good thing."
Su Ming had no idea how many unknown thoughts were hidden in Qin Qing's meaningful words.
"Okay." Su Ming pretended not to notice and nodded as if it didn't matter. He said, "I'll make a note of it."
Qin Qing smiled slightly.
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
This time, it was still not the service staff who came to deliver fruits and desserts.
Su Ming and Qin Qing both heard a voice.
"Excuse me, is Chief Qin in there?"
This is a man's voice.
"Who is it?"
Su Ming was slightly startled.
The smile on Qin Qing's face faded, his brows slightly furrowed, and his expression became a little cold.
Immediately afterwards, before Su Ming and Qin Qing could say anything, the door was pushed open.
Outside the door, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.
