The seller couldn't help but curl his lips. When he saw the V sign, he thought it would go back to 200. But it turned out to be too much. 150, you're so cool?
Seller: "Isn't this ridiculous? How did it become 150? It's even lower than the 200 you just quoted. Isn't that a bit much?"
Chen Ping: "OK! 200 it is then."
Seller: “…”
Damn! I was careless and strained my back.
The seller reluctantly accepted the 200 gold coins from Chen Ping. He had only made 100 gold coins; it was truly a losing proposition.
After obtaining the items, Chen Ping left immediately.
Chen Ping, who was walking slowly on the street, was now checking the items he had just bought for 400 gold coins, one of which he picked up at random.
[Glass Lampshade: Purple quality. Placing certain candlelight-type props inside will double the effect.]
The locked ancient silver treasure chest requires a silver key to open.
That’s right, the treasure chest is the item Chen Ping recognizes, the only one that can be identified by its shape.
Hey, I happen to have the silver key with me. Great, let's open it directly.
[Open the treasure chest and get a set of silver tea sets, a can of 500g high-quality black tea leaves*1, a silver holy sword*1, and 100 ancient gold coins]
"Wow, this is a huge profit!"
Upon seeing that he had unearthed an ancient gold coin, Chen Ping smiled with satisfaction.
[A set of silver tea utensils: Purple quality. Placing it in your home increases comfort by 20. Placing it in your treasure room increases your treasure value.]
[Fine Black Tea, 500g per can: Blue quality, each 50g of tea can restore a small amount of mental energy]
[Name: Silver Holy Sword]
【Category: Weapons】
[Quality: Rare, Purple]
[Effect: Strength +5, Spirit +5]
[Effect: Heirloom, increases moderate wealth value]
Hmm, let's put them all in the treasure room to increase the treasure value. I wonder if these two items can upgrade the treasure room's quality to gold?
Let's keep going and see if we can find any more good deals.
Chen Ping was in a good mood and walked around a lot, and bought a lot of things. Unfortunately, he didn't even find a purple quality item, which was a big loss.
After wandering around for more than an hour, suddenly, most of the stall owners started to pack up and walked towards a certain direction.
Chen Ping followed curiously. Perhaps the black market auction had begun?
Chen Ping, who went with the flow, was quickly led by the crowd to the entrance of the auction, and then started queuing again.
The queues were long, but this time the speed was much slower than at the port, probably because there were fewer people checking.
A dozen minutes later, it was finally the turn of the person in front of Chen Ping.
Chen Ping saw the person walking by take out a sign and give it to the guard at the door. The guard looked at it for a few seconds, said a few words, and then returned the sign and let him in.
"It should be a black market identity card, right?"
Chen Ping muttered something to himself, then walked up, took out his black market identity card, and handed it to the guard.
The guard glanced at the lowest-level ID badge, didn't even take it, and said directly, "After you go in, just go straight and find an empty seat."
After putting away his black market ID, Chen Ping went straight inside. There were two entrances: one was the one the guard told him to go straight through, and the other led to the second floor.
After taking a look at the passage on the second floor, Chen Ping obediently walked along the passage.
Two minutes later, Chen Ping came to a hall and took a look. Half of the seats were already occupied by Heiwu. He also found an empty seat and sat down, then waited quietly.
Chen Ping stared silently at the empty auction stage. Apart from the sounds of others entering and leaving, there was no communication whatsoever.
Half an hour of boring banter quickly passed, and finally, someone appeared on the auction stage; it seemed the auction was about to begin.
"Hello everyone, I am Auctioneer No. 3. I will now introduce and auction the items."
No. 3: "Today's auction items are as usual, a total of 103 items. So the auction will officially begin now!"
"Let's begin the auction for the first item!"
As soon as No. 3 finished speaking, an auction item rose from the stage.
Chen Ping looked over and saw a short sword, about 30 centimeters long, with a snow-white blade and a large blue gem embedded in the hilt.
No. 3: "Snow Kiss, an epic-quality short sword that increases attributes by 60 points. Starting bid is 5000 gold coins, with each bid increment no less than 500 gold coins."
"As everyone knows, aside from the early game, epic-level equipment can only drop from players who are at least level 50 or higher, and the drop rate is not high. So I probably don't need to elaborate on the rarity of this epic weapon, right?"
“5000!”
“5500!”
“8000!”
Chen Ping did not make an offer. He had no shortage of weapons, and it only increased 60 points of attributes. His transformation now had 120 points of attributes.
"!"
"!"
"......"
"!"
"!"
A 25,000 gold coin came out, and the whole audience fell silent instantly. Finally, number 3 counted three times, and no one bid.
Number 3: "Congratulations to the customer for successfully winning the first auction item for 25,000."
"Now, let's begin the second item for auction!"
Looking at the large tree that appeared on the stage, Chen Ping wondered, "What is this? Could it be a spirit fruit tree?"
Number 3: "This is a damaged spirit fruit tree. The seller wanted to sell it for 30,000 gold coins, but after our observation, the tree is severely damaged, so we rejected the seller's offer. The starting price for the tree is now 1,000 gold coins, with each bid increasing by 100."
"I won't go into detail about what a spiritual fruit tree is. You should all know it."
Chen Ping: “…”
You should at least give me a brief introduction, I honestly don't know anything about this.
Number 3: "After our identification, this is a low-grade spirit tree, the Crimson Spirit Fruit Tree. Some guests may not be familiar with this kind of spirit fruit, so let me give a brief introduction."
"Zhu Ling Fruit, after consumption, increases agility by 3 points. Each person is limited to 3 pieces. The effect decreases gradually, and the total agility increase is 6 points."
"Alright, let's begin the auction!"
“2000!”
"......."
After a bidding war, the damaged Zhu Ling fruit tree was finally sold for gold coins.
Next, a number of strange and interesting items appeared one after another. Chen Ping even saw the item card that Liu Quan had used in the dungeon, but this one was not as powerful as his slide tackle.
After thinking about it, Chen Ping bought it for 1,100 gold coins, which was much more expensive than expected. He thought he could get it for 5 or 6 gold coins.
Surprisingly, quite a few people are interested.
