With the sound of a hammer, all the lights of the banquet were turned on, and the curtains of the dance floor were pulled open, revealing the auction stage inlaid with gold and jade. A dwarf host in fancy clothes shouted from the stage, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Moradin's auction on the 3rd, 6th, and 9th of every month! Moradin Auction House has the highest reputation and quality guarantee! There will never be a fake item auctioned here! "
There was a round of applause.
Dafei and Thunderclap stared at each other for a long time, and then they could only look at the stage. I don't believe that with 100 million gold coins in hand, how can Thunderclap compete with me? I don't believe that an idiot who was so poor that he started to sell divine artifacts to cheat me a few days ago can earn 100 million in three days. At this rate, everyone will be a billionaire with trillions of gold coins after playing this game for half a year.
Calm down! He must be deliberately raising the price to disgust me. However, according to the rules of the auction house, the highest price you can raise also depends on how much money you have. The prince borrowed 30 million gold coins from me, which means that the prince thinks that this restaurant can sell for up to 30 million gold coins. If Thunderclap wants to raise the price, he must also have 30 million gold coins. But does he have 30 million gold coins?
No matter how wide his connections are, his production capacity can't keep up. He can't possibly have that much money! Yes, my opponent is an NPC. How can a mere idiot understand my realm? However, what if he was instructed by the eldest prince? That was also impossible! My identity hasn't been exposed, and the second prince's sale of the restaurant seems to be a secret … In short, it seems that the eldest prince doesn't have much money. What does the eldest prince have to compete with the second prince?
At this time, the host went straight to the point. "The first item for auction today is the masterpiece 'The Queen's Jewelry Box', which was dedicated to the queen of the Falcon Dynasty by the great jewelry master Piergon. The starting price is 1 million gold coins!"
As a female attendant took out a jewel box that was glittering with jewels, the crowd exclaimed in surprise. Immediately, an NPC raised his card. "Add 100,000!"
The host said loudly, "Number 24, add 100,000! 1.1 million! "
Then someone raised his card. "Add 100,000!"
"Number 17, add 100,000, 1.2 million!"
What the hell! What's the use of antiques? Hurry up and get Brother Bighead out, crush this idiot, Giant Thunder, and leave! Just as Dafei was in a bad mood, the jewelry box flashed. At the same time, a golden light flashed on Dafei's radar!
— System Notification: You have the fortune of appraising a rare treasure. You have obtained the information of an Expert Appraiser!
Holy shit! Dafei's eyebrows twitched. He had actually obtained information about the Appraiser!
That was true. Under normal circumstances, an appraiser would spend his time in the library reading about the history of Illustration Studies, wouldn't he? Now that I have an actual antique right in front of me, this is much more awesome than reading books in the library! So there was such a benefit to participating in the auction? Haha, wahahaha!
Alright, I want to see to what extent the treasures here can help me level up!
Now, the host shouted slowly and excitedly, "1.5 million going once! 1,500,000 going twice! — 1.5 million! The third time! Deal! Congratulations to Number 11 for obtaining the Queen's Jewelry Box! "
As soon as the hammer fell, the audience applauded.
The host continued to shout, "Now, the second treasure of the auction, an Ice Coral Tree from the depths of the Frozen Ocean. Placed in the hottest furnace forging workshop, it can still make you feel an incomparably cool chill. It is an indispensable treasure that allows the masters who forge divine weapons next to the blazing furnace to stay awake and concentrate!"
As he spoke, a few dwarves in thick winter clothes appeared, carrying a large pot of Ice Coral Tree. The entire auction hall suddenly cooled down because of the appearance of this coral tree!
The audience was in an uproar! A large golden light flashed on Dafei's radar!
— System Notification: You have the fortune of appraising a rare treasure. You have obtained the information of an Expert Appraiser!
As expected, there was another message! Dafei's jaw dropped to the ground in surprise! So, other than weapons and equipment, there were also such messy treasures in the game?
The host shouted, "The starting price is 1 million gold coins!"
In an instant, everyone raised their paddles!
The host waved his hammer excitedly and said, "1.1 million! 1.2 million! 1.4 million! 1.7 million! 1.8 million! 1.9 million! 2 million! 2 million for VIP number 44! Are there any more bids? 2 million going once — 2.1 million for VIP number 34! 2.2 million for VIP number 44! "
Dafei's eyebrows twitched. This damn thing seemed to be an air conditioner for blacksmiths? Was it really reliable? More importantly, could players use it? Would I be able to use it when I repair Titan's Grip in the future and hire a god-tier blacksmith to hammer it?
Damn! Speaking of the Titan's Grip, I suddenly remembered that I didn't even ask Eleena about the Titan's Grip after rescuing her. I was so focused on having a beauty in my hands that I completely forgot about Titan's Grip! Alright, it's not too late to remember now.
Dafei glanced at Shocking Thunder. At that moment, Shocking Thunder was stupefied on the spot, as if he wasn't moved by the atmosphere of the auction at all.
Alright, I want to see if you can match me. If you don't, I'll take it. It's just 2 million anyway, right? That's all the money I've given to my subordinate villages. If you want to match, I'll let you have it. I'll see how much money you have to waste on me!
Dafei also raised his paddle!
The auctioneer was overjoyed. "Mr. 78, 2.5 million! 2.5 million going once! Are there any more bids? 2.5 million going twice! "
It can't be? No more bids? No more bids? Dafei looked at Shocking Thunder in shock, only to see him smiling coldly at him. "250!"
Damn!
The auctioneer slammed his hammer down. "2.5 million going thrice! Sold! Congratulations to Mr. 78 for winning the Ice Coral Tree! "
— System Notification: You have won the Ice Coral Tree at the auction house. You spent 2.5 million gold coins. You have gained Moradin City Reputation + 2500.
Damn it! What the hell are you smiling at? I've finally entered the auction house, so I'm going to have a good time! What? Looks like he also knows that this is not the main event? Alright, I'll play the main event with you! Let's see how you match!
Of course, Dafei didn't know that Shocking Thunder had already made a live video call with Stars' Eternal Star. Ever since Stars agreed to cooperate with Shocking Thunder in building a city, Shocking Thunder finally got his wish to add Eternal Star, one of the three presidents of China, as a friend.
Indeed, Shocking Thunder didn't have that much money, but Stars did! There was no other meaning to the video call. It was just to let Stars watch the show from behind the scenes. If there was something that tempted Stars, then they could use Stars to match Dafei, or even directly ruin his plans.
。。。。。
Now, the auction was going on one after another. Dafei was also feasting his eyes. Every strange thing that appeared would increase the information of the expert.
Finally, the auctioneer spoke again. "Ladies and gentlemen, the next item to be auctioned is the Ruby Restaurant located at the crossroads of Moradin City's Commercial Street No. 23. The business license and title certificate are complete. The starting price is 30 million gold coins!"
The audience was in an uproar!
Dafei's jaw dropped to the ground! Damn, so 30 million was the starting price! The prince is f * cking cheating me!
