"Why did it take so long?" Jia Shuangshuang asked in a low voice.
Chen Zhong sat down and said, "I went to the bathroom."
"Hey! It's started!" Wang Taiping shouted excitedly.
In the field, the lights changed for a while, and when they came on again, there was a row of dazzling brocade boxes beside Sister Qing. Looking at the long and big boxes, you can tell that they are spiritual weapons.
"I imagine many of you here are here for these, right?" Sister Qing stroked the brocade box and smiled. "There are ten spiritual weapons in total, from the Baizhan Shop and the Shangshan Shop!"
"Let me give you a hint first. Baizhan Store has produced five first-grade items and one second-grade item."
Su Xin had already known this data in advance. Many people came for the second-grade spiritual weapon with an array. As for the four spiritual weapons of Shangshan Sect, they estimated that at most one of them was second-grade.
Sister Qing paused, giving the audience some time to discuss, "And the four spiritual weapons that Shangshan Sect brought out... are all second-grade!"
Wow——
"Four second-grade spiritual weapons with formations?"
"Given the quality of the above Shanmen, these four items must have taken a lot of effort, right?"
"From this perspective alone, Shangshan Sect has already won!"
Huo Shan, who was sitting at the back of Baizhan Hall, heard the noise and looked unhappy. Did this mean that he didn't put any effort into refining the spiritual weapon?
Sister Qing continued, "Shangshan Sect's leader, Zhou Chaoyin, explained that the reason he didn't bring out a first-grade spiritual weapon with an enchantment array is because it can be purchased directly from a store. The quantity is large and sufficient, and there's absolutely no hunger marketing involved."
These words were a direct slap in the face of Baizhan Shop.
This undoubtedly pleased a lot of people. In Baizhan Store, they were often told that the product was sold out, but the product was restocked in large quantities within a few days.
"Look at the sincere marketing of Shangshan Store. This is what we call true student power!"
"And I heard that the students who bought the array-attached spiritual weapon from the Hundred Battles Shop responded...tsk tsk, you get what you pay for!"
"Ah, this? I knew it was wrong. Baizhan Store must have censored some parts!"
The situation gradually lost its balance, and the outcome of this business competition seemed predictable.
Su Xin clenched his fists, his expression gloomy. "Damn it! You guys are broke and yet you're still complaining. Those with money should buy theirs! We call this value for money! We're taking care of the lower-class students!"
The others remained silent, hoping that Yan Chong would come back soon to take charge of the situation.
"To be fair, I will auction the items from the two shops in turn." Sister Qing smiled slightly and opened the first box.
"This is a first-grade spiritual weapon with a formation from the Baizhan Shop. It's a common and practical short sword, forged using the Hundred Forging Technique. A first-grade penetrating formation is attached to the blade, increasing its armor-piercing power."
"The starting price is three hundred spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than fifty spirit stones!"
"whispering sound……"
Unexpectedly, there was no enthusiastic applause, but instead a round of boos.
No wonder, a first-grade spiritual weapon with an array in Baizhan Shop only sells for two hundred spirit stones, but he directly raises the price by one hundred when he puts it up for auction?
The key lies in the quality. It seems to be not much different from the popular goods out there. The estimated value is only about three hundred spirit stones.
But the key is that if he brings it to the auction, the actual price will definitely be higher than three hundred.
"350!" After half a minute of awkward silence, someone finally called out a price.
"400!" someone bid.
Then there was silence again.
“…450!” One could feel the student’s heartache.
They were also helpless. Baizhan Store was using hunger marketing. Although Shangshan Store had sufficient supply, the products were so popular that they were difficult to buy and they could not afford them.
There will always be a group of people who lower their standards. They are the main source of customers for Baizhan Shop and they take the low- to mid-end route.
No one raised the price anymore. Su Xin had a blank expression on his face. Only he knew that the first person to bid was someone he had arranged.
Originally, these people were supposed to be used later, but unexpectedly they were used for the first item.
The situation is really bad!
"It seems that we have dealt a heavy blow to Baizhan Shop." Chen Zhong said, touching his chin.
"But this situation will not last long. Our customer base is different, and things will return to normal after a period of time. Of course, Baizhan Shop will definitely lose a large number of customers." Tang Sui said.
"There should be no problem with our starting price, right?" Zhou Chaoyin, a business novice, asked again.
Wang Taiping patted him and said, "Don't worry, the market price of a second-grade spiritual weapon with an array is around 800 spiritual stones. Our normal selling price is 1,000 spiritual stones. Moreover, it is hard to find one. Everyone is very confident in our quality.
Today we have four second-grade items. As long as the price isn't outrageous, they'll definitely be the stars of the show!"
On the field.
Sister Qing looked at the gradually heating up atmosphere in the venue and said directly without any hesitation, "This next second-grade spiritual weapon with an enchanting formation comes from the newly rising power Shangshan Sect. I believe you all know about Shangshan Sect. Anything produced by Shangshan is of the highest quality."
When the box was opened, it turned out to be a small wrist shield!
"This spiritual weapon is a defensive one. Its raw materials are the hardest horns and back hide of the first-tier spiritual beast, the Shielded Rhinoceros. It's encased in a second-tier defensive array. According to tests, it can withstand a full-strength attack from a peak Blood Surge Realm spiritual warrior, and the user won't suffer any recoil damage!"
"The starting price is one thousand spirit stones, and the minimum increment is one hundred spirit stones each time!"
After a brief silence of reflection, there was wild cheering.
"It's actually a defensive spiritual weapon with an array! A life-saving gadget!"
"Defensive spiritual weapons have always been difficult to make and the waste is huge. I didn't expect that the Shangshan Shop would find such a good treasure as soon as it arrived!"
There was a lot of discussion, and the topic gradually shifted from the spiritual weapon to its creator.
