Such a 'high-grade item' might appear extremely awesome in ordinary times. However, with Teslan's genuine treasures as a comparison, it appeared extremely ordinary. Regardless of the rarity or the price of the item itself, it was on a completely different level.
The starting price of 4 million credits was finally fixed at 8.6 million credits.
Three items were more or less on the same level as the fire core that Ma Dong had taken out to open the auction. There wasn't even a single item that was sold for more than 10 million credits. Compared to Teslan's explosive display, it was truly too weak. Teslan's expression gradually returned to normal. It had to be said that the arrival of Darwin and Musk had given him an enormous amount of pressure. However, he could now calm down. That damnable fellow had caused so much trouble for him. Once he was promoted, he definitely had to properly toy with Milami. Furthermore, he had to toy with her in front of Ma Dong!
The atmosphere in the auction hall turned slightly solemn until the fourth item was auctioned. The Darnassus Demon Sword had a starting price of 25 million credits.
This was Old Ma's final item. After so many years of business, he had only managed to obtain this treasure five years ago. This time, he wanted to use it to turn the tables. However, the previous circumstances had caused this rare weapon to lose its luster.
Therefore, despite the rise and fall of the bidding, which caused a small climax, the heated discussions in the surroundings quickly unified their opinions.
"It's still a problem of strength. The performance of the person supported by Darwin and Musk is too inaccurate!"
"He's invited an expert, but if he doesn't bring out an item that matches his status, he'll just be a joke."
"Victory and defeat have already been decided. Trash will always be trash. And here I thought that he really had some outstanding aspects. Looks like it's just that."
"You can't say it like that. In fact, this Ma Dong can be considered pretty good. He has the ability to support one or two large scale auctions. It's just that his opponents are too strong."
"Haha. There's still one more final item. Who knows, he might even have the chance to turn the tables."
"The first four items were already like this. What kind of tricks can the final item have? What's more, if it's a competition of the final item, would there be anything more valuable than a piece of territory? Even if there is, it's not something that someone at Ma Dong's level can dip his fingers into. In any case, I can't even imagine it. "
Even if you managed to invite someone to an auction like this, if you couldn't bring out something that would interest them and cause them to make a wasted trip, or if it didn't match their status, then the favor would turn into a slap in the face. If it wasn't done well, they might even lose face and become enemies.
At the end of the day, strength was strength. It was a long-term accumulation. Even if you got lucky and suddenly got to know some big shot, if you wanted to reach the sky in one step, you had to have enough supporting hardware. Otherwise, in the end, it would all be for naught.
As the sound of the hammer fell, the Darnassus Magic Sword was sold for a final price of 40,000,000 Credits. When the fifth auction item was brought up by the long-legged beauty, everyone was a little stunned. They finally had the time to admire her legs. Her figure was also carefully selected.
In the empty tray, there was only a 3D projector and a piece of paper.
The auctioneer, Tony, picked up the slip of paper and looked at it. He was also a little stunned. He frowned, as if he was thinking of what to say. After a long while, he said, "One nameless stone slab. The seller will only provide a 3D projection for the buyer to observe. After the buyer and seller have reached an agreement, we will discuss the complete transaction method … Base price, one billion credits …"
The audience burst into an uproar. Was this person sick in the head? A mere stone slab was priced at one billion. Why didn't he just rob a bank?
However, Darwin and Musk, who were bored at the beginning, immediately became spirited. They had not made such a big trip in vain!
The reason why they brought their elite troops here was to protect the stone slab after they succeeded!
The long-legged beauty quickly turned on the projector on the tray. As blue dots of light appeared, a square slate with a diameter of half a meter quickly formed above the tray. The glittering slate instantly attracted everyone's attention!
Golden Stone Slab!
Some people had dumbfounded expressions on their faces, while others were filled with doubt. That's because they had heard of a legend.
Teslan was on the verge of bursting out in laughter. He truly believed that Chen Xiaolian had something that Darwin and Musk would take a fancy to. However, it was just a stone slab. Not to mention that it was made of gold, even if it was made of dimensional crystals, it would not be worth it. Was Chen Xiaolian trying to show off how low his intelligence was?
Was this Ma Dong becoming impatient after losing? He had come up with an unknown item to create hype. Was he prepared to use his own money to find a shill to buy it? If that was really the case, then this fellow with the surname Ma was truly too cute. How could such a clumsy method be able to hide from the eyes of the upper echelons of the family?
"What a joke. What is this thing? It actually dares to set a base price of one billion? "
"An antique? Or is it a heavenly book? "
"Haha. It's a heavenly book that I can't understand. There's no point in holding onto it."
"You're taking it for granted! You're simply joking!"
No one opened their mouths to call out the first bid. One billion credits. That wasn't a hundred thousand or a million credits. Even those businessmen who had gathered together to support Ma Dong were unable to bear it. Supporting Ma Dong was just a form of investment. One billion credits had already exceeded their investment limit. What's more, it was being spent on such a meaningless thing. However, gradually, the ridiculing voices of the people automatically died down.
Just because you couldn't appreciate it didn't mean that others couldn't. Just because you didn't know what was good didn't mean that others wouldn't know what was good!
The first person to react in everyone's eyes was Tony.
Being a veteran auctioneer, Tony's experience and knowledge were absolutely above the standard. At the very beginning, he had seen the bizarre rules of the auction. Ma Dong had actually only given out a projection, and wasn't even willing to take out the actual item. This completely didn't conform to normal auction procedures. However, Ma Dong was extremely clear about the rules of the auction. It was impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake. Furthermore, he had even set a base price of one billion credits!
At this moment, Tony's thoughts were more or less the same as the majority of the people present. Ma Dong was purposely trying to create a gimmick. Who knows, he might even find someone to buy it for a price of one billion credits or even higher. In any case, the more ordinary an item was, and the more one couldn't see its value, the easier it was to create a mysterious hype around it.
However, following the appearance of the stone slab on the projection, Tony's gaze was already unable to shift away from it.
He wasn't able to see the usage and origin of the stone slab. However, the extremely simple and natural patterns on the stone slab were able to let people who knew their stuff know how extraordinary it was with a single glance.
There weren't any traces of an ordinary person carving it. However, the lines and patterns on the stone slab were extremely complete and exquisite. This was the first time Tony had seen something like this in his many years as an auctioneer! It seemed to possess a demonic nature, an indescribable charm that could only be the work of a god. Even without talking about the usage of this stone slab, just its beauty was already enough to cause people who knew how to appreciate it to feel intoxicated and unable to pull themselves out of it.
If it was just him alone, it would be fine. However, the 5 people from the 10 great families in the front row, including Gaia and the other slightly lower ranked families, were all captivated by the virtual stone slab.
Tony took a deep breath. "Although it's only a projection, if I'm not wrong, this should be a dimensional treasure — — Golden Stone Slab!"
