Chapter 46 Auction 2 Clones
Chen Jie always replied: [It is real and the price is fair. ]
I won’t reveal more.
On the second night, Qu Tong entered the private room on the fourth floor early with the invitation letter given by Shen Jie.
Looking out through the one-way glass, the dungeon of Planet E12 was already overcrowded, more than twice as many as yesterday.
Qu Tong couldn't help but admire the black market's ability to create momentum.
"Ms. Jun, do you need me to send you a copy of the latest complete list of the auction?" Yu Yao came over with a tray.
Because Qu Tong didn't touch the coffee last time, Yu Yao specially brewed black tea this time, which was the Zhengshan Xiaozhong that the teacher liked to drink.
"It's troublesome."
The two of them added a light computer, and Yu Yao sent a document to Qu Tong.
When Qu Tong opened the file and saw the detailed contents, he tilted his head to look at Yu Yao: "Are the VIP benefits so good?"
Yu Yao gave Qu Tong a knowing smile: "No, this is Miss Jun's benefit."
Qu Tong raised his eyebrows.
Yu Yao was very straightforward.
Either trying to please, or asking for something.
Qu Tong did not delve into it further and turned his attention back to the items on the projection screen.
Her medicine was prominently labeled "Finale" on the first page, making it very eye-catching.
The introduction of each lot is much more detailed than that in the brochures or online, and even the pictures are 3D and fully rotatable.
What’s special is the reference price below most of the items.
This is definitely not information a customer should get.
Therefore, Qu Tong did not reject Yu Yao's suggestion to stay and accompany the explanation.
Yu Yao was very professional. She didn't ask about her identity or the origin of the medicine. She explained diligently and responsibly, and chatted just the right amount.
Most of the time, I just stand aside quietly.
The auction will begin soon.
The venue was packed. With cheers from the audience, the auctioneer walked onto the stage and began to read his opening remarks.
No matter how developed the Internet is, large-scale auctions will still adopt the method of on-the-spot bidding and on-the-spot delivery.
On the one hand, due to the enthusiastic explanations and the atmosphere on site, people tend to bid more enthusiastically and the items can be sold at better prices.
The first item to be auctioned was a mecha design drawing with a starting price of 200,000 star coins. After several rounds of competition, the bid reached 1 million.
It’s not expensive, but Qu Tong has never come into contact with a mecha himself, so he doesn’t know what kind of mecha is suitable for him. He decides to consider this issue after going to school.
After another two rounds, Qu Tong saw a nice stone.
According to the auctioneer, this stone is called empty crystal stone, a rare mineral with an overall light pink color. If you look closely, you can see colorful streams of light in each cross section. It is a rare energy stone that can be used by humans to improve their physical fitness.
Seeing the price soar from 100,000 to 2 million, Qu Tong asked Yu Yao curiously:
"How many levels can this empty crystal stone increase?"
"Not much. Physical fitness levels above A level can't even be raised by one small level. However, this is the only thing that can be raised by external objects besides genetic potions. Even such a small piece is enough to attract people to fight for it."
In addition to the nine levels of F-SSS, physical fitness is further divided into three small levels, such as A+, A, and A-.
In the interstellar world, physical fitness level is related to both physical quality and the upper limit of mental strength. I wonder if it can improve my supernatural powers?
But the appearance alone was quite pleasing, so Qu Tong also participated in the bidding.
Soon the price reached 3 million star coins. Two or three people were still bidding, but Qu Tong was still hesitant to speak.
She was struggling with the question of whether it was necessary to spend so much money to buy a piece of stone that would not be very useful if used alone, as she still owed a large sum of taxes.
Yu Yao saw what Qu Tong was thinking and reminded him considerately, “30 years ago, a special-grade mental potion flowed into the black market. The final auction price was 15 million. The publicity this time was very strong. The private rooms on the second, third and fourth floors were all full. Even many VIP users sat in the lobby on the first floor.”
The meaning is obvious, the price will only be higher this time.
Qu Tong thought for a moment and glanced at Yu Yao.
Beautiful lady, you are very sensible.
Yu Yao responded with a professional smile.
Qu Tong pressed the bidding button: 4 million.
"4.2 million."
"4.3 million."
"Four and a half million."
Two more people stopped, and only one followed.
Qu Tong continued to press: "5 million."
“This price is a bit high.”
"Indeed, this piece of empty crystal is not too big. It costs at most 4 million. Even one more star coin would be a loss."
"Most of the lots sold today were sold at better prices than in the past. That's nothing surprising."
"That's right. There are quite a few wealthy people here. They all come for the grand finale potion."
No one bid anymore, and the bustling noise in the hall became abrupt. In addition, no one tried to lower their voices, so Qu Tong overheard it.
"Dear guest No. 4002 bids 5 million. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
"5 million once, 5 million twice, 5 million for the last time, distinguished guest No. 4002, congratulations."
With one blow of the hammer, the final ownership of the empty crystal stone was determined.
It’s a bit expensive, but Qu Tong doesn’t mind.
Anyway, the more people there are, the higher the price will be. The wool comes from the sheep, so her medicine will only be more expensive.
This is indeed the largest black market, with a wide variety of items, from rare energy stones and high-hardness mecha materials to exquisite high-end evening dresses and rare pollution-free green plants.
In addition to the empty crystal stone at the beginning, Qu Tong also took a picture of a carefully cultivated grape seedling.
It doesn't matter whether there is pollution or not. What Qu Tong likes about this kind of grape is that it is delicious. In the Blue Star era, it was once known as the most expensive grape in the world. Not only is its color bright like a ruby, but it also tastes very sweet and rich.
Energy plants are difficult to cultivate, so there were not many people bidding for them, and Qu Tong bought it for 50,000 star coins.
"Huh?" There was suddenly a commotion in the lobby on the first floor.
Qu Tong, who was studying the empty crystal in his hand, looked towards the stage when he heard the voice.
Then I saw the staff actually carried someone up.
The man was lying on his side in the cage, as if he was unconscious. He was wearing brand new loose clothes, which should have been changed in advance when he was brought in. However, there were obvious wounds on his neck, chest, ankles and many other parts of his body, which looked like whip marks, and some blood had already seeped out.
But the golden hair was particularly smooth and beautiful, it was long.
There is a high degree of freedom in the interstellar world in terms of clothing and appearance. Hair of all colors can be seen everywhere. There is even a drug that can permanently change hair color through genes. Although it is rare for men to have long hair, it will not look out of place.
"Does the empire allow human trafficking?" Qu Tong asked casually while standing in front of the window.
"Of course, regular residents of the Empire are not allowed." Yu Yao smiled: "But this does not include illegal residents and clones."
Clones?
There is no human cloning in the Canaan Empire, and the government strictly prohibits the practice of this technology.
Seeing that Qu Tong was rarely interested, Yu Yao continued, "It is said that he is the seventh prince of the Kasa Empire, and was specially bred by the queen for her third prince who was born with a weak heart. But later, the seven-year-old prince killed the third prince. Since then, he has been imprisoned by the royal family. A year later, he was exiled to a desolate planet to fend for himself. I don't know why he was brought back this year and sent to our black market."
