Chapter 43 Auction
Five days later.
"Let's go, pack up for today, I'll take you to see the world."
Early in the morning, Mo Lan came online, finished his breakfast, wiped his mouth and said.
"Show it to the world? Well, you said it five days ago and kept us in suspense for five whole days. What is it? You should tell us now, right?"
"Hey, an auction."
"auctions?"
"right."
Mo Lan took out four wooden tablets with a string of numbers written on them.
107, 108, 109, 110.
Mo Lan gave them the wooden sign, took the 110 sign and walked straight outside.
"Al, I'm going out, you keep an eye on the store, remember what I said?
If someone tries to grab the spell scroll, let them do it and just be careful about your own safety.
And if someone wants to go up to the second floor, don't hesitate to go to the storage room and put all the spell scrolls in front of him.
Don't save them, they are worthless, use them freely."
"Yes, sir."
Al responded while wiping the booth.
After saying that, Mo Lan led the three of them directly to the Adventurer's Guild. Within two minutes, they arrived at the back door of the Adventurer's Guild. After showing the wooden sign, they were led to a room on the second floor.
This room is very large and is a staircase-shaped room. The highest point of the stairs is the second floor, and the auction table at the bottom of the stairs is on the first floor.
This staircase spanning two floors is fan-shaped, with the auction table at the center. There are fewer seats as you go down, and there are only six seats in the first row at the bottom.
"Come on, let's go over there, it's in the fourth row."
Mo Lan looked at the numbers on the back of the seats and saw that his four wooden plaques had numbers on them in the fourth row.
Mo Lan sat in a chair, quietly waiting for the auction to begin.
Zou Peng, Zhang Haobo and Ding Jin were quietly looking around the auction hall, with curiosity in their eyes, as if they had never seen the world before.
And the same is true for Mo Lan...
"This is the first time in my life that a virgin has gotten married."
As time passed, more and more people came into the venue.
Mo Lan could sense a murderous aura from most of the people who came, and the feeling transmitted by his mental power told him that most of these people were job-changers, and none of them were good people.
But in addition to this, there was also a person who was dressed luxuriously, had an elegant temperament and a noble face, walked in, talked as if no one else was around, and then sat directly in the front row.
noble!
Mo Lan determined their identities at first sight.
At this time, Mo Lan looked at him in confusion.
"Hmm? Why does that person look so much like Yu Jinan?"
"That's Yu Jinan."
Zou Peng also took a look and spoke out loud, and Ding Jin also glanced at it, but after seeing it clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank and he immediately lowered his head.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Isn't it Yu Jinan? Are you afraid that he will recognize you?"
“I’m not afraid of Yu Jinan, I’m afraid of the noble that Yu Jinan follows.
That was the guy who robbed a woman on the street before. I beat him up so badly. If he saw me, he would be furious! "
Mo Lan said.
"It doesn't matter. Isn't he just the son of a noble? Have I ever been afraid?"
"His father is a close confidant of the city lord. He controls the city guards and has the final say in Red Maple City."
Mo Lan's expression remained unchanged when he heard this. He just silently pressed Ding Jin's head down with his right hand and blinked his eyes.
"I'm not afraid of him. I think when in Rome, we should follow the local customs. When facing a distinguished noble master, we should maintain the most basic respect."
While Mo Lan was speaking, an old man wearing white gloves at the auction table had already finished his opening remarks.
“…I won’t continue wasting your time and will officially get into today’s topic.
The seventh monthly auction of this year is officially underway. Please place your first item for auction. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a slim waitress came up from the backstage pushing a cart.
"The first item of this auction is the magical ogre bone club!"
Mo Lan looked carefully and saw that on the cart was a bone nearly two meters long, thin at the bottom and thick at the top.
The thinnest part is probably only as thick as an arm, while the thickest part is almost as thick as a thigh.
The whole bone stick is white, but there are some dark red marks on the top, as well as many knife marks and stick marks, but they are all very shallow, just an imprint.
Just by looking at Mo Lan, one can imagine what a bloody scene it would be if this bone stick was swung by the ogre.
This is a deadly weapon, provided you can wield it.
Ding Jin, who was hiding, also quietly raised his head to look at the ogre's bone stick, and at this time the auctioneer continued to speak.
“A few days ago, a guild adventurer snatched it from a two-headed ogre priest who had just entered the elite level.
The bone stick has been stained with countless lives, and has been used as a staff by ogre priests for many years. A third-level spell has been attached to it: Giant Strength!
Giant Strength can be used once every three days. It does not require your own fighting spirit to be activated. It is a status spell that allows you to increase the strength of an ogre.
Inspiring at a critical moment can definitely turn the situation around and kill a lot of people.”
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, almost everyone looked at the hideous weapon on the cart, and the auctioneer was obviously very satisfied with everyone's reaction and continued.
"The appraisal of the items will be conducted and guaranteed by the union. The auction will start now. The starting price is three gold nas, and each increase in price must not be less than five silver nas."
"Three gold nas and five silver nas."
Almost as soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone started bidding.
"Three gold nas and twenty silver nas."
"Four Kinnas!"
Mo Lan and the others were secretly shocked when they heard this.
"You really don't think money is worth anything. One copper is five yuan, so one gold is probably worth fifty thousand, right?"
"I don't have enough money on me to bid once."
"I don't have enough money on me to bid once."
"I don't have enough money on me to bid once."
The three of them spoke one after another, and Mo Lan followed suit .
"I don't have enough money on me for one time... um, wait, I think I do have enough money on me."
Ding Jin: "Stare~"
Zou Peng: “Stare~”
Zhang Haobo: "Stare~"
"Ahem, do you know what elite level is?"
Zou Peng rolled his eyes.
"Elite level is the level after job change.
Levels one to five are ordinary people, levels five to ten are job changers, levels ten to fifteen are elites, and levels fifteen and above are masters. Didn’t you know all this a long time ago?"
"Oh? Did you know that a long time ago? I forgot. Besides, isn't this also a way to popularize it with them two? "
As they were talking, the auction price for the ogre's bone club became higher and higher, but the number of people bidding quickly decreased, and it was a long time before a new price appeared.
And finally the price stayed at twenty-seven guinas.
"Hiss! So this ugly bone stick is worth more than a million?"
Zou Peng took a look.
"Is it very high? After he stabilized the third-level giant strength spell, the spell scroll of the third-level giant strength spell alone is worth a lot of money.
This bone stick is equivalent to a reusable spell scroll.
Plus, auction prices are usually much higher than normal values, so this price is okay.”
Zou Peng analyzed logically.
“Also, don’t bring real money here.
By the time players can afford it, twenty-seven gold coins will definitely not be worth more than one million.
In-game currency is vastly overvalued right now.”
