This expert was called East Goat. He was a big man with a red face and a red nose. He even had a goatee, and he smelled of whiskey from head to toe. His eyes were drowsy and he looked drunk. Usually, when this guy came out to appraise treasures, his nostrils would be raised to the sky, but he still had some real skills and rarely made a mistake.
But the worst thing was that if he appraised something, even if it was not a fake, but the value was a little too low, he would feel like he was degrading himself. He would often throw the item on the ground and even step on it a few times. Of course, the subsequent chain reactions would have to be dealt with by the auction house. His arrogance was outrageous.
But at this time, when the Eastern Goat expert who loved to put on airs saw the light, he solemnly received the bag made of smelly socks as if he was holding a crown. Then, he took out a pill and carefully observed it with a magnifying glass with a sacred expression of reference and learning.
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Five minutes passed ….
The expert remained motionless, maintaining his original posture.
Cold sweat dripped down the fat auctioneer's forehead again. What if he made a mistake again? If this thing turned out to be a fake, it would be a huge joke. Wouldn't his reputation go down the drain? He quietly leaned over, wanting to add some assurance to his uneasy heart, but East Goat said impatiently, "Hurry up!
What's the hurry? Let me look at it for a few more minutes. I can't miss this opportunity to broaden my horizons! "
The fat auctioneer immediately calmed down when he heard this. He no longer gave any face to the Master. He waved his hand and had someone drag the exasperated Master away. He was in a hurry to finalize the deal!
Half a year ago, after the news that a high purity Pi ore was confirmed to be found on planet Uplos, the stocks of companies related to Pi on the Galaxy Financial Exchange had plummeted.
However, as soon as these companies contracted their shipments, the price of Pi immediately shot up. Even the stocks of these companies recovered to their original level, or even increased.
Yes, it was one thing to have reserves, but developing them into your own resources was another!
Everyone knew that there was money in the bank, but how many people could turn the money in the bank into their own? Therefore, the auctioneer was very sure that this deal would bring a lot of profit to the boss … and how many benefits he would receive. To him, this was a number that he could not even dream of.
At this time, Old Charlie, who no longer dared to underestimate, took out a stinky sock, or rather, a pocket. He took out a small piece of Pi element particle the size of a grain of rice from the sock, then walked towards a one-eyed man with stubble all over his face.
This guy was the head of the Merchant Fleet Alliance. His name was Zach Poly, and he was in the transportation business in space. However, when he encountered merchant fleets that he could beat, he would often turn into a pirate. When he encountered large fleets and the military, he would become a loyal taxpayer of the Empire.
He was someone who had already withdrawn from the competition. However, Zach Poly had previously taken out a cage. Inside the cage was a selenium-based creature that could swim and survive in space, a selenium-based snake!
Selenium-based creatures had always only existed in the theories of biologists, and had never appeared in real life. There was no doubt that once this thing appeared, the biologists of the Empire would go crazy over it.
Unfortunately, the Empire was currently busy dealing with the rebels of the Merchant Fleet, so their investment in biology was very limited. To put it bluntly, the biologists of the Empire could not come up with any money at all.
Unfortunately, Zach Poly was only interested in wine, women, and weapons. As for worldly possessions, he regarded them as stinky dog shit. That was why this selenium-based snake had not been sliced up for research, but had instead appeared in the auction house.
Old Charlie said coldly to Zach Poly.
"I'll trade this for your selenium-based snake."
Zach Poly stared at the stinky sock in Old Charlie's hand with a greedy look in his eyes.
"I want everything in it!"
Old Charlie said indifferently.
"No."
He then turned to another person. This person had a large amount of Yellow Nebula Rock mother lode in his hand. He had also taken it out for bidding before. This mother lode was a great supplement for G-spot. The person who owned the mother lode was not greedy. He nodded and agreed to the exchange.
Although his Yellow Nebula Rock mother lode was also very expensive and rare, it was still far inferior to hard currency like Pi element. It was a great deal for him. Zach Poly was dumbfounded. When he realised that Old Charlie had no intention of turning back, he hurriedly caught up to him and said, "Hey, hey!
It's not that we can't negotiate, I only want half of it! How about three? How about three? "
He was an Interstellar Pirate, so he was used to robbing. He also knew Old Charlie very well. In a hurry, he reached out to grab Old Charlie's shoulder. Old Charlie, who looked like he would be blown away by the wind, flipped his hand over and pressed down on Zach Poly's big hand. Old Charlie's old and thin body trembled. He hooked his foot and kicked Zach Poly, causing him to fall flat on his face! Two or three of his front teeth were knocked out!
It turned out that because of the demon Freddy's seed in Old Charlie's brain, Sheyan had specially strengthened his physical attributes before he left. Old Charlie's basic attributes were about twice that of a normal person's. This prevented Old Charlie from being too weak to even stand up to a gust of wind and fall to the ground. In the Nightmare Worlds, having two times the basic attributes of a normal person was nothing at all, so the cost was the least.
More importantly, Sheyan's standard of "normal person's physical attributes" was based on the ordinary earthlings of his era. But now, due to the need to adapt to the low-gravity life in space and the fully automated technology, the overall physical attributes of humans had definitely declined. Zach Poly's physical attributes might be pretty good among ordinary future humans, but he was nothing compared to Old Charlie's.
After Old Charlie deftly knocked Zach Poly to the ground, he pushed Zach Poly back into the crowd. He then took out half of the Pi element ore and asked Zach Poly in a flat tone, "Are you selling it?
Is the Selenium Snake for sale? "
Zach Poly's face was ashen. He did not expect his profit to be halved in the blink of an eye. Of course, he was cursing in his heart, but even half of the Pi element ore was definitely ten times, no, a hundred times, more than the price offered by those poor zoologists!
He could only accept it awkwardly. Sheyan was determined to obtain this Selenium Serpent because it was classified as an unknown mysterious object, and was worth a total of 7 achievement points.
Old Charlie turned to the fat auctioneer and said flatly, "Are you done?
Are you done with your inspection? We're in a hurry. "
The fat on the auctioneer's face was trembling with laughter. He hurriedly nodded and said, "We're almost done.
"Almost done … I've finished counting. There are five Pi elemental particles in total, weighing 18.9 grams. Coming, coming. I've prepared the blue suitcase according to your instructions."
Just as he was speaking with a smile, someone brought the suitcase over. Then, they turned off the energy output system of the individual mecha and began to fold it up. It looked like there would be no problem putting it in the suitcase.
At that moment, Grant, the guy who took the commission, said in a hoarse voice, "Very good.
"Very good, I'll take both of them. Bring them to my private room."
The fat auctioneer immediately became impatient. 'I'll let you be as arrogant as you like, but you've made such a big deal today, and you're still being so damn arrogant? Are you trying to make trouble for me?' He immediately put on a stern face and shouted, "Grant, Grant!
Otherwise, I don't mind getting someone to shut your mouth for you. The boss has been tolerating you for a long time already …. "
Before he could finish his sentence, a terrifying steel cable suddenly flew out from Grant's box. It was shrouded in dazzling electric arcs. It slammed into the fat auctioneer's body with a loud bang. The electric arcs gathered and then exploded.
The steel cable smashed the fat auctioneer, who was estimated to weigh more than 150 kilograms, into pieces like tofu. The entire auction house seemed to have turned into a rain of flesh and blood!!
Then, a square-shaped monster stepped out of the box. It had a human form, but its two hands almost touched the ground like an ape's. Its head seemed to be attached directly to its body, so its neck was so short and thick that it was almost boneless. From head to toe, he was also wearing a special individual combat armor. One could still feel the extent of the bulging muscles under the armor.
The building materials of the box were unable to stop this fellow's advance at all. Kacha, kacha, kacha. This fellow dragged the shiny steel cable with his left hand as he strode towards the center of the auction house. The steel cable was deliberately made with many sharp barbs, and it was already covered in flesh and blood. It looked particularly ferocious as it rattled on the ground.
It had been a long time since such a tragedy had happened in the black market. Moreover, it was a black market worker who was attacked and killed!!
It must be known that the most important thing for a black market like this was stability and order. If you bid for something here, you would be robbed and killed the moment you left!
The people attending the auction were all local tyrants. If this happened a few more times, even an idiot would know that there was something fishy going on here. If they didn't stay at a respectful distance, would they come here to die?
Therefore, although this place was set up in the most chaotic and filthy civilian district, the degree of order and cleanliness here far exceeded that of the rich district. The boss behind the scenes also knew why his place was so popular, so he carefully maintained order and did not hesitate to give up some benefits. (To be continued.
