Chapter 392: Outrageous Transmission Fees

"Quick! I heard that Beidou Auction House is auctioning off some top-quality secret treasures. Let's go and take a look!"

"It seems that the finale this time is the tenth-level crafting materials. Let's go and join in the fun."

Sanctuary city area.

On the bustling streets, urgent shouts were heard one after another.

Many people were running hurriedly on the street, rushing towards the same direction.

Lin You, who had just come from the territory, was immediately attracted by their conversation.

Beidou Auction House.

If he remembered correctly, it should be the force in the Holy Land, second only to Wanbao Tower and Shifang Pavilion.

And it is different from Wanbao Tower and Shifang Pavilion.

In order to survive in the Holy Land, Beidou Auction House took a different approach and adopted the strategy of all-day auctions and time-divided auctions.

They rarely have large auctions, but they hold small auctions almost every two hours. They focus on auctioning small boutique treasures that are popular with the public and do not compete with the other two for cutting-edge items.

This strategy can be said to be very successful.

This immediately made Beidou Auction House one of the top auction houses in the Holy Land and was sought after by countless middle and low-end consumers.

Lin You didn't expect this.

The finale of the Beidou Auction House this time is actually the tenth-level material.

Then he had to go and see it.

After looking around, he immediately changed direction and followed the crowd to another street.

Soon, he arrived outside the Beidou Auction House, which was crowded with people.

Even from a distance, you can still hear the host's voice.

"Dear guests, welcome to our Beidou Auction House. Now we are holding the second auction of the day. Without further ado, let's move on to the seventh item!"

Already the seventh lot?

Lin You was shocked.

Generally speaking, a small auction will not include more than ten items.

In other words, the auction for the tenth-level materials is about to begin.

There was no time to waste, so I bought the ticket and followed the line through the entrance to the ongoing auction venue.

At this time, the entire huge semicircular venue was filled with lords and practitioners from various countries.

As soon as I entered, a wave of heat hit me in the face.

This was accompanied by a great deal of noise and shouting.

"I'll give you 1 million!"

“Two million!”

"3 million! I want it!"

"You want to get it for 3 million? I'll offer 5 million!"

"Five million! This lord is offering five million! Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

The bidding continued, with everyone competing fiercely for the seventh item.

Some even held up the small cards in their hands, with red faces and thick necks, which brought the atmosphere of the entire return journey to a climax.

Lin You walked around and finally found an empty seat at the back and sat down.

There was a sign on the seat for taking photos, which he took in his hand.

then.

He looked above the platform, at the items displayed on the platform, and the information listed on the huge screen above.

[Military Secret Treasure: Primordial Outburst]

[Secret Treasure Type: Enhancement]

[Secret Treasure Level: SS Level]

[Secret Treasure Effect: Increases Strength by 3%, Attacks ignore 30% of the enemy's defense, Available for melee soldiers.]

[Introduction: A secret treasure used to strengthen arms. It can be used in the arms base and can only strengthen a single type of arms.]

It turned out to be a secret weapon for soldiers that increases strength and armor penetration, and it is SS-grade.

No wonder the competition is so fierce.

Secret treasures like this that directly increase attributes are the most popular among lords, and the 30% armor penetration is not low.

It can definitely maximize the attack capabilities of melee soldiers.

Just thinking about it.

The bidding for this secret treasure has come to an end.

It was eventually bought by an eighth-level lord for 11 million, leaving the seventh-level lords helpless.

Ten million magic energies is definitely a huge sum of money for a seventh-level lord.

Even if you can take it out, you have to consider whether you can afford it.

"Okay, the seventh lot has been auctioned off successfully. Thank you all for your support. Next, we will auction off the highlight of this round, the tenth-level crafting materials!"

“Wow——”

"Tenth-level materials! They actually exist!"

"Is it the finale so soon? I'm so looking forward to it!"

As soon as the host's voice fell, there was an uproar in the audience and they all stood up from their seats.

Even Lin You, who was sitting at the back, couldn't help but stand up from his seat and look in the direction the host pointed.

After a while.

A tray covered with black cloth was brought up by the servant and carefully placed on the central table, instantly arousing everyone's curiosity.

"I'm sure you've all heard about the finale item of this round of auction. That's right! It's the material from the tenth-level monster!"

The host simply lifted the black cloth, revealing a crystal clear blue crystal inside.

At the same time, a string of information appeared on the screen.

[Material: Ice Element Core]

[Level: Level 10]

[Introduction: The power core of the Ice Elemental Lord, which contains extremely strong ice power and can be used to create equipment.]

really.

It was the material from the Ice Elemental Lord during the previous monster riot, and it was the most important core part.

Lin You was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that Beidou Auction House could snatch this material from the other two companies.

"Everyone should know what this thing can be used for. It is a must-have for creating level 10 equipment!"

"As long as you have it, you will have a chance to obtain a tenth-tier equipment!"

"Even without the power of rules, it is still countless times stronger than other equipment. It is definitely the best helper to improve your strength!"

"Without further ado, the starting price is 8 million, and each bid increase must not be less than 1 million. The bidding begins!"

This host is obviously a veteran. All he said were beautiful and touching words, but he never mentioned a word about the shortcomings of the material.

really.

It’s true that this material can be used to create level 10 equipment.

But you also have to find a tenth-level master craftsman to make it for you.

Without anyone to help you forge it, this material is at most a harder ice-attribute stone and is completely useless.

The auction house obviously knew this, so the initial price offered was not high.

Lin You estimated that this was the cost price they bought it for, and they just bought it as a gimmick to attract people.

As expected.

It took a long time.

No one in the entire venue made a bid, and everyone looked hesitant.

"10 million!"

Finally, the first bid came in.

It was an eighth-rank lord sitting in the corner.

With his start, shouts finally began to be heard throughout the auction venue.

"12 million!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"13 million!"

"14 million!"

"15 million!"

It can be clearly felt that the bidding frequency is not high, and only a few lords who have reached level eight or above are bidding one after another.

But every time a price is called out, it still causes the audience to exclaim in surprise.

"Did I hear correctly? It's increased to 15 million in one go?"

"Is there really anyone willing to buy something this flashy?"

"Are they sure they can find a tenth-level craftsman to help?"

More than 10 million magic powers.

It was enough for them to buy two secret weapons with good attributes.

And they can directly improve their strength.

But now it is used to buy materials that may rot in your hands at any time, which is really hard to understand.

And just as everyone was exclaiming and talking.

The bidding price finally slowly increased to more than 20 million. Bidders began to hesitate and the bidding slowed down.

"30 million!"

Suddenly, a price call interrupted everyone's discussion.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound in surprise, and saw Lin You, who was sitting at the end, holding up the sign in his hand with a calm expression.

"30 million! This lord is offering 30 million! Is there a higher price?"

The host shouted excitedly, and the fat on his face kept shaking.

He thought it would be good if this material could be sold for 25 million, but he didn't expect it to exceed his expectations.

He quickly raised the auction hammer in his hand and knocked it lightly.

"30 million for the first time!"

"31 million!"

At this time, another shout was heard.

Lin You frowned and looked towards the source of the sound.

It was the eighth-level lord who made the first bid.

It seems that this guy also wants to get this material.

Without thinking too much, he directly bid: "35 million!"

The value of a tenth-tier equipment is at least calculated in billions.

He can still afford to ask for a mere tens of millions of magic power.

He didn't bother to waste time talking to the other party and directly added four million, looking like he was determined to win.

This time, the eighth-level lord was finally moved. He turned around, looked at him deeply, and raised the sign in his hand again.

"36 million!"

"40 million."

Lin You's voice followed immediately, with almost no hesitation.

The entire venue suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at him in astonishment.

Don't you think it's not worth it to spend 40 million mana to buy a material that may not be able to be made into equipment?

And the way they raised the price was too rude, they actually raised it by millions! Where did this rich man come from?

Not to mention the audience.

Even the eighth-level lord did not expect Lin You to be so determined.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally shook his head helplessly, stood up and left the venue, apparently giving up the bidding.

"40 million! Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

The host's face was flushed and he raised the auction hammer high in his hand.

"40 million once. 40 million twice. Deal!"

finally.

With an excited shout, Lin You successfully took the ice element core, which once again caused an uproar in the venue.

Lin You did not stay long. He left the venue amid everyone's surprised gaze and went to the backstage of the auction to conduct the transaction.

"Sir, this is the item you just bid for. Please confirm it."

Seeing him appear, the backstage staff immediately came up to him respectfully and handed him a box containing an ice element core.

Lin You took it, opened the box, took a look, and nodded silently: "Yes, that's right."

His expression was very calm, but he couldn't help but get excited inside.

Because now he has this thing, he can finally ask Maghan for help in creating the tenth-level equipment.

This time.

He must create a powerful equipment that can resist abnormal states of the demon system!

After thinking about it, Lin You put away the box, turned around and left, rushing back to the territory.

Until noon.

He then brought all the materials and came to the dwarf tribe's super long-distance teleportation array, asking the dwarves to help activate the teleportation array.

[The teleportation array has been successfully activated. This teleportation will consume 10 million mana. Do you want to teleport? ]

Damn! That’s expensive!

Although I have heard that ultra-long-distance transmission requires a lot of resources.

But when he heard it with his own ears, Lin You was still shocked, and his idea of ​​using the teleportation array for trade was instantly shattered.

no way.

In order to create the tenth-level equipment as quickly as possible, this money must be spent.

“Teleport!”

As the voice fell, the entire teleportation array suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light, illuminating the surroundings.

Then the space twisted, and he and several Wildhammer dwarves who were accompanying him disappeared on the spot.
