Chapter 99 Auction
"President, aren't we going to the auction?"
Lu Leng asked Zou Peng.
"No, why would we go? We are too small to afford anything. We can only stare blankly and wait for the auction list to come out to learn more."
"I have asked someone to go there. He will record all the auction items, sellers' emotions, and transaction prices. We can all take a look at them for reference when the time comes."
The store manager next to him suddenly spoke up, and Zou Peng showed an approval look on his face when he heard it.
“Well done. As a chamber of commerce, mastering this information is the most basic and necessary thing.
Just ask him to record the screen, and we will have a meeting tomorrow to study it together."
"Okay, I'll tell him right away."
After settling the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, Zou Peng changed his clothes and walked outside, muttering something.
“Ding Jin is weak, Zhang Haobo’s shield was broken, and Mo Lan is almost drained dry.
Are these people crazy?"
Zou Peng left from the north gate and soon disappeared after entering the mountains.
In the auction house, the auction was going on very lively. One precious item after another was brought on stage and then quickly sold off.
A magical weapon similar to the ogre's bone club, formed by chance in the hands of a monster!
The magical bow and arrow passed down from the elves!
Even precious minerals, wood, medicinal materials, etc.
Each auction item is very precious and can become the finale item in an ordinary auction.
There are also many elite mutant beast corpses and extraordinary cores here.
In addition to these, there are also a considerable number of exquisite artworks from other human countries, elves, goblins, and dwarfs at the auction, and they are very expensive. Nobles often like to buy them at high prices, as if this can highlight their dignity and pride.
Throughout the early stages, very few player guilds participated in the auction. Only a considerable number of guilds and players who knew they had no hope of bidding for the castle took part in the early auctions.
The vast majority of guilds suppressed their emotions and waited silently.
This is true regardless of the size of the guild. A large guild has strength and funds, but a small guild does not necessarily mean it is poor.
Many guilds have a certain amount of capital hidden behind them, and the benefits that a castle or a village territory can bring are enough to attract them.
As for the price of the castle…even if it’s 10 million, is that a lot?
Time passed by little by little, the hammer struck again and again, and with the sound of transactions, finally, this auction welcomed the finale item.
“The finale of the auction is the Wedrina Castle located outside the Red Maple City and a village territory attached to the castle.
I believe everyone is still eager to prepare for the auction. I won't say much. The reserve price is one thousand gold nas. Each bid must not be less than ten gold nas. The auction starts now!"
When the auctioneer shouted to start the auction, a young man next to the auction table showed a complicated expression, and the old butler behind the young man closed his eyes and muttered something, as if he was praying or confessing.
"Master, are we really going to do this..."
The young man shook his head slowly.
"I knew it the moment I inherited the castle, long, long ago.
The power and dignity of the nobility come from the strength in their hands, not from the recognition of the Grand Duke and the unspoken rules among the nobility.
As long as I become strong enough, I can build a higher and bigger castle, and I will be a powerful and noble noble.
If I remain weak, I might fall off my horse and die one day, and then a family bloodline that appears out of nowhere will inherit the castle and the territory."
He said with a sneer, and the old butler next to him fell silent and said nothing more.
"Let's go, there's no need to read on."
"Yes, Master."
The departure of the original owner of the castle did not affect the infinite enthusiasm of the auction at all.
"Three thousand ginnas!"
A vice president of a guild shouted directly, his voice echoing in the auction hall, and directly tripled the reserve price.
"Okay, No. 107 will bid three thousand gold nas directly. This is a castle made of blue steel stone, with strong defense and a small territory attached.
Is there any higher one? "
The nobles on the third floor looked greedily at the presidents of the major guilds below.
"Three thousand guineas? Three thousand guineas for one person?"
"Each of them brought a deposit of at least three thousand gold nas."
Hearing this, the greed in their eyes grew stronger.
"A few days ago, a batch of Kinnas were lost from my vault, and the thief has not been caught yet."
Suddenly someone spoke up.
The others laughed when they heard this.
"Four thousand guinas!"
"Four thousand one ginnas!"
"Four thousand two hundred guinas!"
"Stop dilly-dallying and be quick!"
Someone said disdainfully, turning around and shouting.
"Four thousand two hundred and fifty guinas!"
"Tsk, four thousand five hundred gold nas!"
The atmosphere in the venue instantly became heated and the temperature rose rapidly.
However, the presidents of the fiercely competitive guilds had no idea that there was a group of hungry wolves staring at them greedily upstairs.
They had even discussed the distribution of the Kinnas.
"Six thousand seven hundred goldnas !"
After reaching six thousand, the bidding on the spot gradually slowed down, and many guilds reluctantly put down their bidding boards.
The deposit share has been gone, and it will be useless to make further bids. Instead, you may even be expelled from the auction.
But when they saw their opponent who had just competed fiercely with them but was also dejected at this moment, their eyes lit up, and they looked at each other and said in unison.
"cooperate!"
At this moment, the atmosphere in the venue was ignited again, and another peak of bidding began.
At this moment, money seemed to no longer be money, or the thousands of guinas had blurred people's consciousness. They were swept up in the warm atmosphere and made crazy bids.
"Seven thousand!"
"Seven thousand five!"
One after another, people yelled with red faces and thick necks, until the price reached its peak, when they calmed down as if a bucket of cold water was poured on them.
"Ten thousand guinas!"
The whole place was silent, and everyone looked at the person who made the offer.
The unit of ten thousand touches the sensitive nerves of many people. Perhaps the cost of buying jinas for them is lowered, but ten thousand jinas starts at at least tens of millions.
At this moment, even the nobles upstairs began breathing heavily.
A large number of these lords who had defended their territory all their lives were unable to even build a castle for themselves or purchase a piece of territory.
Even in their treasury, there was not so much money, and they had never seen so much money. At this moment, their breathing became heavier, and the greed in their eyes was almost unconcealed.
Tap tap tap!
Disorganized but heavy footsteps were heard, and teams of knights gathered towards the auction house amid the sounds of people hurriedly getting out of the way and the fierce bidding.
