The reason why the negotiation auction was one of the rare auction methods was because the freedom of this method was too high. The owner of the item could state their needs through the trading platform. The requirements were usually not in the form of currency, but some special items and special requirements.
Moreover, it was an auction. The buyer could state their conditions until they met the right conditions to complete the transaction. They didn't even need to consider the bargaining chips in advance. If they were unhappy, they could choose not to sell.
Due to the high degree of freedom in this method, it was incomparably troublesome to operate. Unless it was an extremely precious item, large auction houses wouldn't accept this method for auction.
However, in the face of the imminent Origin Tide, Silver-rank and above soul-type items were considered very valuable and special items. Therefore, it wasn't surprising for large auction houses to use this method.
Of course, the most important thing was that the auction items were Yang Rui's own. If it were someone else, large auction houses wouldn't do this for a few high-level soul-type items. They would just buy them directly.
This was the benefit of owning a large public facility like a large auction house. The large auction house's function could be said to be incisively and vividly displayed in Yang Rui's hands. It brought a lot of profits to Yang Rui. In comparison, the price of snatching the large auction house back then was not worth mentioning.
"Esteemed customer, greetings. I have been entrusted by the seller of the items. I am under orders to discuss the transaction of two Silver-rank soul-type items, [Charging Heavy Armor * Soul] and [Antler Helmet * Soul].
Currently, the Origin Tide isn't far away. I'm sure you're well aware that these two Silver-ranked soul-type items are the best choices to deal with the Origin Tide and increase your strength. Especially the combination of armor and helmet, it can be said to cover your entire body … "
Naturally, a large number of people came to inquire about the two Silver-rank soul-type items when they were put online. Yang Rui naturally couldn't let Xiaohui be in charge of the auction of the two Silver-rank soul-type items alone.
For this reason, Yang Rui specially selected 100 scouts who had already cashed in the real world. They were already qualified players after being irrigated with the knowledge and experience of the real world. They were competent enough to negotiate with other players regarding the auction.
In particular, their skills could be used for detection and judgment, which made them even more suitable for this "job."
Yang Rui also planned to let the Scout Warriors who had cashed in the real world take turns to experience the work of the Auction House in batches to increase their experience. Recently, Yang Rui would also sell some Silver-grade and above soul-type items.
"… Since the item owner has entrusted us with a free-for-all auction, you can state your own conditions. We will sum up the price that each customer is willing to pay to the owner and let them decide who to sell the item to.
I'd like to remind you that the owner of the items mentioned that he's very interested in items/building blueprints, clues to characters/events, and some special items/discoveries. If you can provide such bargaining chips, I believe there's hope to obtain the two Silver-tier soul items … "
In one of the secret trading rooms, a Scout Warrior was introducing the auction of two Silver-tier soul items to his customers in detail. He also emphasized the key to winning the auction.
Similar scenes were happening in dozens of other secret rooms in the backstage of the large auction house. The "key" of the auction mentioned by the Scout Warrior was naturally Yang Rui's request.
Perhaps the majority of players and NPCs weren't used to this method of auctioning. After half a day, although plenty of people had come to participate in the auction and offered various types of chips, none of them were of interest to Yang Rui.
One of the most valuable bargaining chips was the information about a small island in the East Sea. According to that player, that island could be used to build a city-level territory. It could be said to be a paradise.
No matter who it was, such an island was a good place to establish a foothold. There were even some rare fruits and specialties on the island, and the surrounding sea was rich in fish resources. Perhaps there were also mineral deposits on and around the island.
However, such a small island was too common for Yang Rui. Yang Rui's navy fleet had discovered at least 80 small islands on the sea, if not 100. Among them, there were at least 20 to 30 small islands like the one mentioned by the player.
The most important thing was that Yang Rui's strength and energy were limited. In the current stage where there were fewer sea activities, Yang Rui wasn't prepared to put in effort on these small islands.
Of course, if such a small island was in a good location and rich in resources, it would become very valuable in the hands of some special people.
For example, Zhang Rang and a few other servants who had escaped were now on an island in the East Sea. All this time, Yang Rui didn't know their specific location.
Yang Rui even guessed that Zhang Rang and the others should be in a secret realm because ever since Zhang Rang and the others purchased a large number of large transport ships from Yang Rui, their transport movements became traceable. Even so, they went in different directions every time they went out to sea. Yang Rui even heard people mention that Zhang Rang's fleet had suddenly disappeared in many sea areas.
From all these, it seemed that the location of Zhang Rang and the others should be in an unusual place. They would eventually enter and exit a certain range through a similar method. To a large extent, they should be in a secret realm!
Back to the topic of Yang Rui selling Silver-level and above soul items. Originally, Yang Rui's demand for high-level soul items had not been satisfied. The reason why he took out a portion of them to auction was to see if he could exchange them for something good.
However, even after half a day, there had been no chips that could satisfy Yang Rui. The two Silver-level soul items were naturally still lying in the auction house.
Just when Yang Rui felt that the atmosphere was not strong enough and was considering whether to make a deal to drive the market, the Ethereal Ninja sent a message saying that Zhang Rang's messenger had come to visit the Commerce Alliance's headquarters.
Therefore, Yang Rui temporarily put the auction of the soul items aside and left the large auction house through a secret path. He leisurely headed to the Commerce Alliance's headquarters.
After the previous auction of the Commerce Alliance's base, the members of the Commerce Alliance around the Luoyang Imperial City Square were already bustling with activity. This place had become the area with the highest level of trade in the entire three civilizations.
Along the way, Yang Rui also considered the possible purpose of Zhang Rang's messenger's visit. He thought that it was a normal visit with some special purchases. After all, Zhang Rang often did this.
