Chapter 79 Annual Auction Conference (fifth update) The next day, early morning. Dongfang Ming and his party rode in a carriage and ran towards the east of the city. There are a total of five auction conferences in Magik City a year, four of which are held according to the four seasons, and one is the annual auction conference, which is also the auction conference that Dongfang Ming participated in today. Dongfang Ming frowned and looked at the flow of people outside the car, and said to himself: "There are so many people" Nailina gently squeezed Dongfang Ming's shoulders, glanced outside the car, and said with a smile: "Well, it will be fine in two days. "Majiku City is the largest seaport city in the Kingdom of Gosni. Every year, the annual auction meeting attracts businessmen and nobles from surrounding cities or kingdoms to participate in the auction event. So every year at this time, the migrant population in Magikku City will increase several times, making this large city look very crowded. A few hours later, Dongfang Ming and his party arrived at the auction venue in Dongcheng Business District. Outside the carriage, a group of family knights quickly cleared a passage into the venue. Afterwards, Dongfang Ming and the others got off the carriage. After a group of people entered the venue, Nelina took out a gold token and waved it in front of the person in charge of the auction conference, and said: "Take us to the private room." "Dear guests, please follow me." The person in charge looked at the order After reading the ancient heraldry on the card, he touched the cold sweat on his forehead and carefully led Dongfang Ming and his party to a special private room for upper-class nobles. The design of the auction venue is similar to that of a song and dance theater, roughly divided into three floors. The lowest level is filled with civilian-level adventurers and businessmen, while the middle level is more special and contains some well-established businessmen or powerful adventurers. Finally, only nobles can enter the upper level. Except for the private rooms owned by the nobles, the other two floors are halls. There is not a single seat in the lower level, and people who enter the lower level can only stand. The middle level is naturally better than the lower level. There are some scattered seats in the hall where people can sit and rest. As for the uppermost level, there are noble boxes with soft Sofas, fresh fruits and delicious snacks, as well as fragrant milk tea. It is in great contrast with the other two layers. This is the gap between people caused by their different identities. Dongfang Ming and Nelina waited quietly in the box for some time before the opening ceremony of the auction began. "Thank you" A male host came on stage. After talking nonsense for a while, he was kicked down by the noisy crowd. "Hello, gentlemen and ladies, I am Lezi." After the crowd quieted down, the auction house replaced a beautiful mature female host on the stage and began to introduce herself. Afterwards, Lezi bowed around several times and said loudly: "Lezi is here, welcome all gentlemen and ladies." "The auction has officially begun!" A young girl slowly walked up to the stage, holding a cup in her hand. He placed an exquisite tray in front of the auction table and then slowly retreated. Lezi suddenly opened the red cloth on the tray, pointed at the weird red fruit on the tray, and shouted loudly: "First of all, the first treasure is this red heart fruit" Then Lezi slowly said: "Red Heart Fruit, a three-star treasure. It is said to have the effect of treating cold diseases and improving the physical condition of weak people. The base price is 50 gold coins, and the minimum starting price is 1 gold coin. The auction begins!" "51!" "52!" " 55! ¡± ¡° 60! ¡± ¡° 61! ¡± ¡° 65! ¡± ¡°¡± As soon as the people at the bottom heard about it, they started to scramble for it. It was rare to find a treasure that could improve your physical condition. "100 gold coins once! 100 gold coins twice! 100 gold coins three times! Deal!" Lezi stood on the stage and screamed crazily. She didn't stop until the red heart fruit was taken away by a wealthy businessman on the second floor. Come down. Soon, another young girl walked up to the stage carrying an exquisite tray and placed the tray in front of the auction table. Lezi opened the red cloth and shouted again: "The next item is a space ring with a size of ten cubic meters. Everyone knows its purpose, so I won't accept it. The starting price is 500 gold coins, and the minimum increase is 10 gold coins each time." Voice As soon as we landed, a middle-aged man dressed as an adventurer on the second floor took the lead and shouted: "510!" Then, another fat middle-aged wealthy businessman on the second floor shouted: "530!" After that, another thin old man slowly shouted: "570!" A lightly dressed man then shouted: "600!" Seeing that the scene suddenly became quiet, Lezi began to announce: "600 Gold coins once, 600 gold coins twice" "700!" But before the announcement was completed, a clear female voice came from a private room on the third floor. Lezi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but she quickly came to her senses and continued to announce: "Uh, 700 gold coins once! 700 gold coins twice! 700 gold coins three times! Deal!" The lightly dressed man from before was still stunned. , he never dreamed that he would meet a rich man who did not regard gold coins as money at all. The market price of a normal space ring of ten cubic meters is around 600 gold coins at most. As a result, the rich man directly shouted out 700 gold coins, letting him He immediately lost interest in continuing to pursue the price. Dongfang Ming couldn't help but secretly smacked his tongue when he saw this. The woman in the box next door was too arrogant. She just threw away more than 100 gold coins in vain. ¡° Later, some antiques and cultivation materials were auctioned at the venue, but Dongfang Ming was not interested in them, so he did not bid. After that, after more than a dozen items were auctioned one after another, the auction reached its climax, and the items auctioned became more and more precious, including some rare treasures, but without exception, these treasures were all sold to The nobles on the third floor snapped up everything. "What is that?" "It looks like an orc slave!" Dongfang Ming originally closed his eyes and enjoyed Nelina's massage, but suddenly heard some commotion on the field, so he opened his eyes and looked over. Lezi waited for several strong men to carry an iron cage onto the stage, and then she shouted leisurely: "The next item is a five-star early-stage tauren slave. The starting price is 1,500 gold coins, and the minimum increase is 10 gold coins each time!" But this time! Everyone in the auction venue did not rush to grab it immediately, but looked at Le Zi quietly. At this time, a businessman sitting on the second floor suddenly shouted: "Where did this 'black goods' come from? How dare you sell it! If something happens to us after we buy it, will your auction house be responsible?" Someone spoke up Naturally, some people were willing to make trouble, and then an adventurer sitting on the second floor shouted: "That's right! This kind of powerful fighting race of tauren, low-level ones may be sold, what about the five-star tauren?" They might be sold as slaves!" "Yes! You want to trick people in the auction house, right?" "" Soon, a lot of people started to boo. Lezi seemed to have expected such a situation. She looked very calm and replied unhurriedly: "Dear guests, please don't misunderstand me. How could a formal and reputable auction house cheat you? My words But before I finish, this five-star tauren was demoted to a slave and sold after being caught by the chief after he had committed adultery with his tribe¡¯s chief¡¯s wife.¡± ¡°¡¡± ¡°That¡¯s it¡¡± "I want 1,600 gold coins." "Opportunities are hard to come by! 1,900 gold coins." "No one wants to fight with me, 2,300 gold coins." When everyone in the audience heard this, they immediately became interested and started frantically fighting for the tauren. "Pfft!" After hearing these words, Dongfang Ming almost spit out the milk tea he just drank. The tauren is truly a tauren, and he won't buy this 'thing' even if it kills him. Seeing that the young man looked strange and almost choked just now, Nelina asked with concern: "Mr. Ming, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Dongfang Ming smiled awkwardly and explained: "It's okay, it's just that I was beaten. The "enthusiasm" of the people below stimulated her, and she's better now. "Nelina didn't think much and continued to massage Dongfang Ming. "2500 gold coins for the first time! 2500 gold coins for the second time! 2500 gold coins for the third time! Deal!" Not long after, the Minotaur in the audience was also photographed. Dongfang Ming felt that the ordinary treasures in the audience were boring, so he closed his eyes and continued to wait. But Feiju was very concerned about the auction below. Suddenly he noticed something strange about the men on the scene and said anxiously: "Young master, look down there, there is a 'good thing' coming out" "The next item is the 'passionate water', I believe you all. Gentlemen understand the 'wonderful use' of this thing, but I don't like it very much.Okay, enough nonsense, the starting price is 999 gold coins, with a minimum increase of 1 gold coin each time. " Just as Lezi finished shouting, the crowd below started bidding frantically, and was finally taken away by a nobleman from an upper-level private room. " Feiju, is this the 'good thing' you said? " Hearing the name and the auctioneer's secret hint, Dongfang Ming almost understood the use of this thing. "I'm sorry, young master, I just saw the people below were very excited, so I thought it was a 'good thing' coming on stage." Fei Juhong He looked at the young man with a sheepish expression. "" Dongfang Ming was silent for a while and then said, "Forget it, it's not your fault. "Nelina felt that the young man seemed to be disappointed with this auction, so she said softly: "Ming, the last few treasures are the real 'treasures'. You can rest for a while and wait for those 'treasures' to come on stage. I'm reminding you. . " Dongfang Ming nodded and agreed: "Yeah, okay. " Last night he challenged the three girls Nelina, Ricolis and Mengmeng. He didn't go to bed until almost dawn. Fortunately, he was invulnerable, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to get up now. " Not long after, Dongfang Ming leaned on the sofa and slowly fell asleep After Nelina watched dozens of treasures being auctioned one after another on the auction stage, she suddenly saw several people carrying a special black iron cage, and she understood what was going on. The play was about to begin, so Nelina pushed Dong Ming and shouted softly: "Ming, wake up, the finale treasure is going to be auctioned soon! " "Hmm~~" Dongfang Ming was still a little confused, but his consciousness came back. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the auction table through the special window. Ps: I was a little lazy in this chapter, and old readers can also tell. In some places, the plot of the previous book was used, but I have modified it. It is not a direct copy and paste, so that's it. In fact, this auction is just to introduce a new character. The other parts are not very important, so don't mind it. ~~
