Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 220 Auction
The old goblin gave instructions to the girl who led the way, then looked at Kong Zhe, and said respectfully, "What do you think?"

"Well! Look at the arrangement, and then deposit the gold coins from the auction and the purchase money into this crystal card."

Kong Zhe nodded, and handed the membership card to the goblin.

This kind of membership card is not like the credit card on the earth before. It stores information through magic marks. A small card stores the customer's personal information and the amount of gold coins. All goblin chambers of commerce on the entire continent have It is universal. Kong Zhe’s card is a bearer card, which means that it only records the amount of gold coins stored on it, without any identity information. In this way, even if it is not him, Hongling Xiaolei and the others can use the card at any time. Come to the Goblin Chamber of Commerce to withdraw money.

As for the purchased goods, the auction price was [-]% higher, which was actually very close to the market price. It can be said that they didn't make much money from the purchase of these things this time, and at most they made some hard money.The purpose is naturally to make friends with Kong Zhe. Although he knows that this is a way to win over the chamber of commerce, a person as determined as Kong Zhe still has a much better impression of this chamber of commerce.I have to say that this is the power of these old fritters.

"Xiao Li, what are you doing? Hurry up!"

After the old goblin finished speaking, he found that the girl didn't move, but just stood there blankly, so he couldn't help saying with a cold face.

"Oh, yes, yes!"

The girl came to her senses and responded hastily.Then he walked to the table and began to tidy up the pile of treasures on the table.

While tidying up, the girl was still looking at Kong Zhe secretly.To be honest, she is still a little confused.Why did both the goblin and the young man turn a blind eye to the shining treasure on this table, and instead value the black stone as a treasure?
Is that the real precious thing?

The girl couldn't figure it out, which also made her more and more curious about Kong Zhe.During this period, I kept peeking at him, and my work efficiency dropped a lot.

Fortunately, the goblin was busy making friends with Kong Zhe at this time, but he didn't pay attention to her little movements, which saved her from being scolded.

After Kong Zhe and Hong Ling waited for half an hour in the lounge of the auction house, the next auction started, and the two of them followed the old goblin to the pre-prepared VIP room.

When entering the auction hall, the whole hall was noisy. At the top of the hall, magic lanterns and light magic cores of various colors were hung, illuminating the frontmost exhibit stand very conspicuously.

Although the entire hall was not as full as Kong Zhe imagined, there were quite a few people.A rough calculation shows that there are about 200 people, almost all of whom are awakened, and their equipment is not bad.

In the corridor between the seats, many maids with bold clothes and hot figures shuttled among them, carrying fruit wine to each table.

Many people look like they are rich and show off. Not only are they dressed in gold and silver, but many of them even have a maid sitting on their laps.From time to time, he squeezed them twice, and then let out undisguised laughter.

"There is no shortage of rich people anywhere!"

Kong Zhe sighed slightly, then looked at the old goblin with a smile and said, "It seems that your business is doing well!"

"Hey, it's all taken care of by everyone!"

The old goblin laughed, and led Kong Zhe and the others to go upstairs.

The second floor is much quieter than the first floor. There are already small private rooms here. Pink curtains are hung on the small windows of the private rooms, and a woman's soft hum can be faintly heard from inside.You can guess what's going on inside without even looking.

"Hmph! This kind of thing is indispensable everywhere!"

Hong Ling spat, with an undisguised disgust on his face.

Regarding this, the old goblin couldn't say anything. Regarding this woman who has been following Kong Zhe, he was also a little confused about the relationship between the two. He originally thought that the two should be boyfriend and girlfriend, but after the contact just now, he felt Not quite right, so I dare not speak indiscriminately.It will be embarrassing if you say the wrong thing.So at this time, the old goblin could only make a haha ​​and perfunctory the past.

On the exhibition stand in the middle of the hall, there is a woman with a hot figure and a pair of bat wings behind her, explaining the products on the stand.This woman is the chief auctioneer of this auction house. Although she is not an awakened person, she has no fighting power, but her race is a succubus in the demon clan, and she is born with the ability to charm men. The outstanding appearance, as well as the wings behind and the pair of devil horns on the head, are fatally attractive to many men, and most people tend to like to try new things, especially for these young men who never lack women on the scene Speaking of them, creatures they had never seen before like succubi made them more interested.

Provoked by her words, Kong Zhe and Hong Ling saw with their own eyes that the price of a piece of equipment with ordinary quality and attributes continued to rise, and finally even fetched a sky-high price far exceeding its own value.Moreover, the fat man who went up to get the equipment had an elated look on his face, thinking that he had picked up something cheap, which made Kong Zhe, who was a bystander, very speechless.

"This is the demon family... it really is Bichi!"

Hong Ling complained mercilessly, especially after noticing that even Kong Zhe was unconsciously attracted by the succubus, her words were slightly sour.

The old goblin led the two of them to a private room on the third floor and invited them to go in.

The third floor is much better than the second floor, or in other words, it is much more formal, at least there are no weird sounds from the boxes.The private room here is very large, the air is filled with a faint scent of aromatherapy, and there are exotic flowers and plants and murals from different worlds as decorations.Sitting at the table, you can have a panoramic view of the entire auction house.It can really be called a private room.

There were also several maids standing respectfully at the door, waiting for their orders at any time.

"It's not bad here..."

Hong Ling looked at the private room and nodded slightly.

"Hehe, the entire third floor is a VIP area specially designated by us, just to receive big customers like you two, and ordinary people can't get in even if they have money, so the standard is naturally higher."

The goblin chuckled and poured a cup of tea for Kong Zhe and Hong Ling.There is a little pride in the words.

Although this auction house cannot be said to be owned by one person, it has also devoted a lot of effort here, so naturally it has a deep affection for this place.Every time someone came, he couldn't help but say a few words about the various benefits of this venue.

"ladies and gentlemen……"

, on the booth, after finishing the previous auction, the beautiful auctioneer said in a sweet tone: "The following item was added temporarily. But this item is not ordinary, because it is today's This is the first purple-grade item to appear in the auction!"

"Purple?"

There was a burst of exclamation from the audience. Even though all the people present were wealthy masters, few of them had purple-level equipment.What's more, after the average person owns purple equipment, it's too late for the treasure, where will it be sold?So they have been sitting here for a long time, and they have never seen anything above purple for sale, let alone purple, even blue equipment rarely appears.

"Yes, look!"

As the auctioneer said, he opened the red cloth on the platform, and the snake jade that Kong Zhe had before appeared in front of everyone.

"This is called 'Snake King Baoyu'. It is a precious pharmacist's material. After the appraisal of our treasure appraiser, this thing is top-grade even among purples. It comes from the body of the king-level monster Hydra of the Sea Clan. With It can be used as a raw material to make high-level potions such as bull potion and blood recovery potion, and it is even one of the main ingredients of the famous invincible potion..."

The auctioneer was not in a hurry to introduce the various benefits of the snake jade. However, although everyone felt itchy, most of them were actually a little disappointed. This thing is indeed a rare treasure, but it is clearly aimed at a specific group of people. Yes, if it is a bottle of ready-made instant blood recovery potion or invincibility potion, it will definitely detonate the scene, but the raw materials that only pharmacists can use have nothing to do with most people.

"...Okay, after listening to my introduction, I believe you all have a good understanding of this treasure. Now the auction starts. The base price is [-] gold coins, and each increase must not be less than [-] gold coins!"

After the beautiful auctioneer finished speaking, she picked up a small hammer and tapped it on the table.

"One thousand three!"

Almost as soon as the hammer sounded, someone shouted out the price immediately.

"One thousand fourteen!"

"One thousand five!"

Immediately afterwards, two consecutive price increases came from different directions, which made everyone slightly surprised. They really didn't expect that so many people were rushing for such a niche item.

"Can it really sell so much?"

In the private room, Hong Ling looked at the hot scene below and covered her mouth in surprise.

Like many people below, she thought that no matter how precious the thing was, it was just a piece of raw material, but it could actually be sold for thousands of gold coins?Even the purple equipment is the price, right?
Kong Zhe nodded slightly, he himself was not too surprised by this result.As the end of the world began for half a month, various sub-professionals began to appear among the awakened ones.Kong Zhe looked around just now, and found many sub-professionals among the awakened people present, including fishermen, craftsmen, enchanters, and pharmacists.Their characteristics are also easy to identify. Generally, sub-professionals will have a special small pattern logo on the top of their heads. Herbs represent pharmacists, hammers represent refiners, etc...

And as long as he is a pharmacist, he must be able to understand the true value of this piece of snake jade.To put it bluntly, at this stage, everyone has little money because of the early stage, but in the later stage, for all kinds of sub-professionals, what is really lacking is not money but materials.
