Chapter 5 Successful Auction(1/2)
The moment the auctioneer called out, "The auction has officially begun," a large number of bids immediately refreshed Nie Zhi's tablet.
The price of [Blood-Drinking Sword] has increased rapidly from one hundred thousand Heavenly Points to 180,000 Heavenly Points in the blink of an eye.
Afterwards, the growth rate gradually slowed down, and finally, only two bids were left to increase alternately. Finally, the bidding price was locked at 213,000 Zhutian Points.
The auctioneer was very excited. After bidding three times in a row, when no one continued to raise the price, he immediately hit the auction hammer hard and shouted loudly: "[Blood-Drinking Sword], the transaction price is two hundred and thirteen thousand Heavenly Points!"
"
At this time, Xiaoli also leaned into Nie Zhi's ear and whispered softly: "Sir, dark gold equipment can be sold at a high price of more than 200,000 heaven points, but it is very rare. This [blood-drinking sword]
】, it is very likely to be the item with the highest transaction price today."
Hearing her words, Nie Zhi asked curiously: "The [Broken Spear] and [Transformation Robe] are also very good, wouldn't they fetch a higher price?"
"In this book of gods, any equipment that can enhance survival will be much more expensive. The [Blood-Drinking Sword] can not only suck blood, but also store excess treatment to form a shield. Its attack power is also extremely high, which is rare.
It’s super top quality at first sight, but in comparison, [Broken Spear] and [Transformation Robe] are slightly inferior.”
Xiaoli has been working as a maid at the [Zhutian Shenjian Auction and Trading Center] for a long time. She has seen eighty to eighty pieces of unique gold equipment. Naturally, she knows exactly what equipment is valuable and what equipment is not.
Hearing Xiaoli's analysis, Nie Zhi suddenly felt secretly happy: "According to this, I will most likely be able to afford the [Transformation Robe], which is really great!"
Next, the auction continued. [Dengyun Boots] sold for 115,000 Heavenly Points, and [Broken Spear] sold for 178,000 Heavenly Points.
Finally, there is the [Transformation Robe]. As the final item of this VIP auction, the auctioneer spared no effort to introduce the benefits of this piece of equipment.
"Dear contractors, equipment that can [self-repair] is very rare. The existence of this attribute can at least save you tens of thousands of heaven points in equipment repair costs."
"There is also this metamagic specialty called [Spell Setting]. This is not an ordinary additional skill. This is an extreme talent that only appears in [Extreme Barrier]."
"Lastly, there is the [Protean] skill, which is an excellent means of killing people, stealing goods, and hiding and escaping."
"Taking all of this into account, what are you waiting for? The auction of the super-premium [Transformation Robe] has officially begun!"
As the auctioneer knocked the hammer down hard, Nie Zhi's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
"[Transformation Robe] is already very good, but if it is praised like this by the auctioneer, the price will be even higher. My 230,000 Heavenly Points are very dangerous!"
In the blink of an eye, the price of [Transformation Robe] was raised to nearly 150,000 heaven points.
Nie Zhi made two bids in succession, but was instantly annihilated by higher prices.
At this time, Nie Zhi's face showed an anxious expression involuntarily.
At this growth rate, the final transaction price of [Transformation Robe] will probably be higher than [Blood-Drinking Sword].
Even if two pieces of [T-Virus Original Solution] are included, the highest price Nie Zhi can offer is only about 220,000 Sky Points. No matter how high it is, he simply cannot afford it!
Just when he was anxious, Xiaoli, who was standing next to him, was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.
"This new contractor who has just been promoted to the second level of difficulty can actually afford a super high price of more than 100,000 heaven points!"
You must know that in the [Zhutian Shenjian Auction and Trading Center], there is no so-called false price. Every bid made by the contractor means that he has enough Zhutian Points.
A huge sum of more than 100,000 Heavenly Points is also a large amount in the second difficulty. Apart from the leaders of large societies, only the top super powerful contractors can spend so much "cash" in one go!
This handsome contractor, who looks like a pretty boy, actually hides his secrets. Looking at him like this, he seems to be determined to get the [Transformation Robe].
In other words, he holds at least more than 200,000 heaven points in his hand. This... this is incredible!
While Xiaoli was marveling, Nie Zhi had already placed bids one after another. Soon, the bidding price reached 180,000 Heavenly Points.
At such a high price, the other bidders retreated one after another, leaving only one bidder, firmly behind Nie Zhi. No matter how much Nie Zhi bid, this bidder would always pay 100 heaven points more than his price.
This invisible and intense pressure had already made Nie Zhi sweat profusely. He looked at the two [T-virus original solutions] in his hand, gritted his teeth, and handed them to Xiaoli beside him;
"Pawn these two things for me to the Gods of Heaven. I don't believe how long this guy can follow me!"
Xiaoli took the [T-Virus Potion], hesitated for a moment, and said to Nie Zhi: "Sir, don't worry, I think the guy who keeps bidding is probably a 'trustee' from the seller."
After hearing Xiaoli's words, Nie Zhi was stunned and said in astonishment: "The seller is looking for a 'trust'! Are you saying that the seller is deliberately driving up prices?"
"Yes, Sir, think about it, from the time you got 170,000 Heavens Points, this guy has been bidding with you non-stop. Every time, he only gets one or two hundred Heavens Points more. This kind of bidding method
, it’s really strange.”
"The real price of [Transformation Robe] is seventeen to eighty thousand Heavenly Points. No matter how much it is, it's just not worth it!"
"Huh? How do you say this? Please tell me in detail!"
"Sir, please see, this [Transformation Robe] is not as high-quality as imagined. Its value should not exceed 200,000 heaven points."
"First of all, it is different from other robes. It only adds physical defense, and the added physical defense is not much. In comparison, it is not as good as some excellent golden equipment; secondly, its [self-healing] function,
In the eyes of the contractor who bought this robe, it is almost useless. If he can afford a robe with hundreds of thousands of heaven points, can he still not afford the repair cost of several thousand heaven points? In the end, [
Ever-changing] This skill is obviously more suitable for solo contractors. For those contractors who join large groups, changing appearance is not very meaningful. Moreover, as long as more than 30% of the health is lost, the transformation effect will
Automatically disappear; in Zhutian Shenjian, it is normal to lose more than 30% of your health after a battle, but this skill is even more useless!"
"Actually, the only truly valuable additional skill of this robe is [Spell Setting], which can significantly reduce the caster's casting time; however, as long as the vast majority of spellcasters practice diligently, their gestures when casting will be
You will become more and more proficient, and the time required will become shorter and shorter. This metamagic expertise is the ultimate talent that casters are least willing to choose."
"So, this robe is still inferior to the [Blood-Drinking Sword]."
Hearing what she said, Nie Zhi suddenly understood. He thought for a while and continued to ask Xiaoli: "Then according to what you said, what should I do now?"
"Sir, if you really want to take a picture of the [Transformation Robe], then increase the price slowly, so slowly that it will make them feel that you have decided to quit and no longer want to take pictures. At this time, they will naturally give up raising the price!
"
"Well, what you said makes sense, so let's do it!"
At that moment, Nie Zhi slowed down the price increase, and even after the auctioneer had already sounded the auction hammer for the second time, he slowly quoted his price.
After two or three rounds of this back and forth, the guy on the other side finally stopped raising the price.
The price of [Transformation Robe] has also been settled: 181,200 heaven points!
With three hammer blows, Nie Zhi finally won the auction. Plus a 15% transaction commission, he paid a total of two hundred and eighty thousand, three hundred and eighty heaven points to get this precious robe.
.
After the auction, Nie Zhi took out 500 Heavens Points and gave them to Xiaoli. He thanked her and said, "Thank you for your advice, which saved me tens of thousands of Heavens Points. This is my little thought. Please
Don’t say no.”
Xiaoli was not polite, she accepted Nie Zhi's gift generously, and said with a smile: "Sir, you are truly a rich man. You can get more than 200,000 Heavenly Points on just one level of difficulty. It's really amazing."
Incredible.”
Facing Xiaoli's compliment, Nie Zhi smiled slightly and said, "I'm just lucky, it's no big deal."
After saying that, he took back two pieces of [T-virus original solution], turned around and left quickly.
Watching Nie Zhi's fleeting back, Xiaoli curled her lips and walked towards a larger private room.
After pushing the door open and entering, he bowed deeply to the contractors in the room and said respectfully: "My lords, I just received a 'big fat sheep'. He is just a newcomer who has just been promoted, but he has more than two
One hundred thousand Heavenly Points, and I also took a photo of the [Transformation Robe]."
"Oh? There is such a new guy, how did you meet him?"
Next, Xiaoli recounted in detail how she met Nie Zhi, how she led Nie Zhi to the third floor, and how she finally explained the whole process to Nie Zhi.
After listening to Xiaoli's story, the tall contractor sitting in the middle nodded with satisfaction, handed her 1,000 heaven points, and said to her: "Well, very good, you little prodigal, your performance this time is very good,
Clean yourself up at night, and I will reward you with a "whip" from this alliance leader!"
Hearing this, the other contractors in the room burst into laughter.
Only Xiaoli replied in surprise: "Thank you, Lord Alliance Leader, for the reward. I will definitely be clean and have a good pillow!"
After saying that, she turned around and left shyly.
After Xiaoli left, the tall contractor rubbed his chin and murmured: "A little guy who has just risen to the first difficulty level can have more than 200,000 heaven points."
"Could it be that he is the super newcomer who slaughtered the entire [Killing Field]?"
A contractor with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks nearby shrank his head, pointed to the top of his head, and interjected: "Leader, I heard that the superiors are also looking for this super newcomer who can fight one against a hundred. Is this guy really as powerful as the legend says?"
"What a great bird, don't you know what kind of place the first difficulty is? That guy was able to kill seventy or eighty people in the [Killing Field], most likely with the help of his teammates, and at the last moment, he said
Maybe this guy is just trying to kill the donkey, and he even killed all his teammates!"
"It's not like there are no such people. Isn't that who we are in the second difficulty level so powerful?"
At this time, another contractor also nodded and said: "The alliance leader is right. Under normal circumstances, how can someone really be able to fight one against a hundred? Even our second difficulty person can't defeat thirty or forty contractors."
If two people join forces, the so-called super newcomer will definitely use some tricks to get through!"
"Yes, yes, what a super newbie, he's just a cheap scoundrel."
"That is, if he can defeat ten contractors of the same level in a head-to-head confrontation, he will be considered a true top powerhouse."
...
In the private room, the few remaining contractors discussed one after another. Everyone unanimously denied Nie Zhi's horrific record of massacring the entire [Killing Field] by himself.
Speaking of the anger, it was as if they had seen the battle with their own eyes.
Seeing his men chattering and discussing non-stop, the alliance leader sitting in the middle coughed hard;
To be continued...
