"Go find that little boy!" the thin man gritted his teeth.
"I'd like to see who dares to skip over me and go on to introduce other auction houses in Stormwind!"
He was furious that this windfall hadn't fallen on their heads.
He pursed his lips, remaining silent as he watched the auction gradually reach its climax.
Now it's time to auction off five sets of items. Five sets mean five health points, five attack points, and five stamina points.
Uncle An tapped the small hammer and smiled kindly.
"Let's take a break for now!"
!!
What's the difference between this and "the excitement continues after the ad"?
Midway through the advertisement, Uncle An thoughtfully sent out the items that everyone had photographed, and each item was accompanied by an authentication tool. Next to each of them, a maid in a cheongsam personally operated the authentication tool.
"You can also try to identify it yourself."
Those who took the photos were even given a small sample to try.
"These steamed buns increase stamina by +5, so we've divided them into five small portions for everyone to try."
"These steamed buns are divided into five equal portions. Each portion grants +1 stamina point, which can be used to verify the authenticity of our products."
"You can also try these seaweed rice rolls and fish balls."
Those who took photos were all seated together in a lounge area to begin their experience.
"This is such a waste of money. We can't use the extra money now."
"Yeah! We're in a safe zone now, not fighting aliens outside, and we're not in the City of Mist. It's too much of a waste to eat this!"
"These are things that are usually priceless and hard to find. It's really a sin to eat them like this!"
They talked a lot, but they were all quick to get started. Six people took pictures, and fifteen small portions were made for them to try.
While it's impossible for one person to try all three, two servings are more than enough for one person.
They said no, but their hands betrayed them, and one by one they picked up toothpicks and started using them.
After eating it, a warm current did rise from my abdomen, and my whole body felt hot.
"This is how it felt when we ate +1 or +2 food before. We also tried eating them separately, but the amplification effect wasn't very good. I didn't expect that eating +5 food separately would also have a sufficient +1 effect!"
"Indeed, I feel my strength has doubled, and I'm full of energy and my spirits have improved! It's really great!"
The group exchanged glances.
"If I eat this separately and then combine it again, will the effect still be +5?"
The waitress patiently replied, "We've done the experiment and the effect is increased, but it might not be as good as eating a whole one directly for a +5 effect. However, combining them will definitely give you a +4!"
Such foods can be eaten together or separately, or separated and then eaten together again.
The group immediately stopped what they were doing and began trying to separate and merge the openings. After counting, they could barely make a fish ball. They ate it and tried to see if their attack power would increase by 4 or more.
The +5 bonus won't be applied when combined, because the amplification will be less after being separated and then combined. They can accept this completely, because previously, combining items with zero contamination would not result in any amplification. In short, they have seen +5 items before, but they could only consume them as a whole. They have never seen items that could be consumed as a whole, separately, and then combined again.
Just like how a soy milk maker used to only make soy milk, but now a high-speed blender can blend everything.
They're all the same price, but offer different experiences.
This is such a great deal!
Seeing the satisfied expressions on their faces after the experience, the others quickly asked, "How was it?"
Groups 1 and 3 were filmed from ordinary seats offstage. People from the upstairs VIP boxes who were preparing to film Groups 5 or 10 have already come down to inquire. They all hold titles of Earl or higher, and one of them is even a Duke who just happened to arrive in Storm City.
Seeing that the people above had sent someone down to inquire, Lilith, who knew how to do business, immediately took out a backup and gestured for it to be divided into smaller portions and sent to the private room.
She had already thought of a backup plan before she even started; she was just looking for an opportunity to submit it.
The maid brought the food up, and the Duke also had a whole steamed bun that increased his stamina. The Duke took the bun and looked at the maid with satisfaction.
"It's really too much trouble for you to bring this!" Is this a steamed bun? This is gold! One of these would sell for at least tens of gold coins. Even someone as powerful as the Duke wouldn't just casually eat something worth tens of gold coins in one bite.
But he couldn't resist trying it anyway.
He took a bite and found it to be soft and fragrant. He had eaten many wheat products before, and the Duke was not short of food, but this was the first time he had ever eaten a steamed bun like this.
He could almost taste the quality of the ingredients after just one bite.
"As expected of a culinary master, the generous use of ingredients is something everyone can achieve, but the taste is something not everyone can achieve. The wheat aroma is very appealing, and most importantly, each one is very substantial. Not only is it filling, but it also lowered my pollution index, bringing it down to below 5%. Furthermore, my stamina has increased dramatically, and it looks like I can sustain this for about an hour, which is longer than what other culinary masters have done!"
The maid shook her head: "My lord, our master chef has made an upgraded version of the steamed bun. Although it still only adds 5 stamina points, our +1 stamina point is equivalent to 1 hour, while this steamed bun directly adds 5 hours of stamina!"
This is why Qin Yiyi dared to sell at the auction house for more than in the City of Mist, because she used the special ability of a master chef. Normally, a master chef can directly increase stamina by 50 minutes by making something that adds 5 stamina points, but hers can increase it by five hours.
The Duke was shocked. A third of the steamed bun had fallen to the ground. He was heartbroken and picked it up, dusting it off.
He looked at the maid, his eyes filled with reproach.
"Why didn't you say so sooner! Your auction house is going too far! How could you not tell me something like this sooner?! If you had, I would have...!"
He said he wanted to take everything, not just one or five or ten sets of something!
He slammed his fist on the table, as if he had just thought of something.
He looked at the maid.
"The duration that doesn't increase health or attack power is also..."
Health points determine the duration of health regeneration, while attack power determines the duration of attack...
"Yes, that's the real focus of this auction. This was just a warm-up; we didn't bid too high. It's a little surprise we've hidden, waiting for someone with a keen eye to discover it. And Your Grace, the Duke, is that person!"
His Excellency the Duke clutched his heart...
