Chapter 302 The first finale item [5K]
Looking at the venue where the atmosphere was gradually rising, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows while shaking the goblet of rose-colored liquid in his hand.
It is indeed surprising that the magic potion that he took out at random could have such a heated effect.
While sniffing the sweet aroma of wine wafting out of the cup, Lei Xiao's eyes inadvertently fell on Chao Yan beside him.
I found that this girl was also very excited. She seemed to be more excited than the other guests at the table next to her.
Just when Lei Xiao was surprised to think that Chaoyan finally got smart and got into the act in advance, ready to start implementing his bidding plan.
But he further noticed that this girl's eyes were actually focused on a ceremonial person holding a tray not far away.
And on that tray were the red velvet cake and pineapple buns that she had longed for before.
Seeing this with some helplessness, Lei Xiao was thinking about how many chestnuts he would reward the other party in a while.
I saw Baron Polly standing on the auction stage. Looking at the excited nobles in the audience, he first smiled gracefully, and then continued: "In addition, I have some good news, and I can't wait to tell you all!"
"That's the number of Fengmu Dan this time. There are more than one, but the quantity is limited after all, so please seize the opportunity. Maybe the one you take will be the last one."
When he said this, a sly look flashed in Baron Polly's eyes.
He did not disclose the specific amount provided by Lei Xiao, but to a certain extent, it heightened the sense of urgency and competition among everyone present. It can indeed be said to be very professional.
Immediately afterwards, Baron Polly stroked the curly beard at the corner of his mouth, and then said loudly: "Okay, without further ado, the base price of each Fengmu Pill is 11,000 gold dragons, and each increase in price is 500 gold dragons. Please start bidding.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the silver bells around Lei Xiao immediately rang one after another.
The whole scene can be said to be the most lively one since the auction began.
During this process, Lei Xiao and Fang Hai, who was not far away, also joined the bidding aristocratic camp as planned.
After about seven or eight minutes, the crisp ringing of the bell gradually began to decrease.
Noticing this, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and began to look around.
He found that besides his own table and Fang Hai's table, the only ones still ringing the bell were the fat nobleman at the back table and two middle-aged noblemen sitting in the third row of the booth area. At this time, the price also rose to a height of 33,000 gold dragons.
Seeing that the price was almost the same, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and signaled Fang Hai, who was not far away, to give up the bidding.
Afterwards, Lei Xiao secretly observed the expression of the fat noble behind him while continuing to debate the price with him.
At this time, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
The higher the transaction price, the greater the benefit you will receive.
After all, there are still 59 auction items on display at the back.
Even if it is one piece, if ten thousand more golden dragons are sold, a total of six hundred thousand more golden dragons can be obtained.
Moreover, the transaction price of the first Fengmu Pill will affect the prices of the subsequent nine pills to a great extent.
Therefore, this first shot must be fired as loudly as possible.
Not far away, the fat noble's rich and handsome face was full of disdain. He was obviously preparing to avenge his shame and compete with Lei Xiao to the end.
"Not bad, not bad. You must keep it up. This Fengmu Dan of mine will eventually belong to you."
Looking at the fat noble's expression of determination to win, Lei Xiao silently gave him a thumbs up in his heart and continued to press the silver bell on the table calmly.
Not long after, only Lei Xiao and the other party were left on the field, and the price reached 39,000 gold dragons.
Faced with the gradually rising price, even though there were a lot of beads of sweat dripping down the fat noble's rich forehead, he still refused to give in.
Almost as soon as the bell rang for Lei Xiao, he pressed it immediately and glared at Lei Xiao in the front row.
"Good guy, it seems that the other party is already on top."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao, who was possessed by the drama essence, gradually began to look "embarrassed" from the indifferent expression on his face, and looked back from time to time.
Keenly noticing the change in expression on Lei Xiao's face, the fat noble smiled crookedly and began to fight more and more bravely. Once, he even pressed twice in a row.
Just like that, after a series of extreme pulls with the other party, when the price reached the height of 50,000 gold dragons.
Lei Xiao "finally lost after several struggles", allowing the fat noble to successfully obtain ownership of the first Fengmu Pill.
"Not bad, not bad. According to Faxia, who can refine the Wind Eye Pill, the value of one Wind Eye Pill is only about 15,000 golden dragons."
"If the fat noble knew that he spent three times the price, but in the end, these golden dragons fell into the pocket of my competitor, he would probably faint immediately, right?"
Looking at the fat noble whose face was filled with the victor's attitude, Lei Xiao curled his lips and thought to himself.
Noticing Lei Xiao's "unwilling" gaze, the fat noble rolled his eyes and straightened up, apparently still immersed in the joy of finally "defeating" Lei Xiao.
Without disturbing the other party's dream, Lei Xiao took a sip of champagne from the goblet and began to focus on the auction below.
Chaoyan on the side just put the last piece of pineapple bun into his mouth, and then touched his belly with satisfaction, as if he was finally full.
As for Kelly, in order to hide from others, she went to other familiar nobles and began to say hello, trying her best to distract the attention focused on Lei Xiao.
"Dear distinguished guests, let's start the bidding for the second Fengmu Pill."
Baron Polly on the auction stage smiled and took out another identical potion.
After that, through the increasingly skilled intervention of Lei Xiao and Fang Hai, the price of each Fengmu Pill reached a height of over 40,000 gold dragons.
During this process, several other nobles who had never competed with Lei Xiao before saw the fat noble who had the same problem succeed and feel proud. They also ignited their hopes and launched a price attack on Lei Xiao in an attempt to regain their own face.
In the end, they all came back satisfied with a Fengmu Pill. While they achieved "avenge the shame", Lei Xiao, who was the instigator, made a lot of money.
What is somewhat ironic is that when there were only a few Fengmu Pills left, Lei Xiao was "lost repeatedly" and the fat nobleman in the back row even scored twice.
After another discussion with Lei Xiao and feeling good about himself, he pocketed the second Feng Mu Dan at the price of 52,000 golden dragons, setting a new transaction record and contributing to Lei Xiao. More golden dragons emerged.
Also during this process, the two targets that Lei Xiao needed to win over, Tina from the Blue Rose Knights and Ryan from the Broken Blade Knights, also couldn't bear it anymore and pressed the silver bells in their hands.
For these independent knights who need to go on missions all year round, this kind of magic potion that can see through the effects of illusions is obviously a rare good thing.
After noticing his two targets, he began to bid one after another. Lei Xiao smiled faintly and gave up the fight, allowing the two of them to obtain the ownership of a Fengmu Dan at the lowest price in the audience.
Regarding Lei Xiao's kind gesture, the two knight captains immediately understood and nodded to Lei Xiao to express their gratitude.
And Lei Xiao also smiled in return, causing the relationship between himself and the target to unknowingly begin to grow closer.
After all ten Fengmu Pills were auctioned off, Lei Xiao's other ten Demon Return Pills and ten Ice Return Pills that were slightly less effective appeared.
However, under the serious introduction of Baron Polly, the magic recovery pill that speeds up the magic recovery effect was described as a weapon against strong players in the physics department.
The Ice Return Pill, which increases fire resistance and detoxifies fire poison, has become the nemesis of fire magicians, and it immediately attracted the attention of many high-ranking nobles and wealthy businessmen on the field.
In addition, Lei Xiao was behind it, and the price of each potion was between 30,000 and 40,000 gold dragons, which perfectly reached the "very reasonable" price in Lei Xiao's mind.
When the last potion he provided appeared, listening to the ringing of silver bells around him, Lei Xiao raised the exquisite goblet and sipped the fruity and sweet champagne, hiding his face in the shadows. , a faint smile emerged.
"Not bad, not bad. These 30 magic potions alone have provided me with an income of more than one million gold dragons. The whole process is quite interesting."
Wait until all the potions provided by Lei Xiao have been emptied.
Baron Polly, who was pacing gracefully on the auction stage, displayed five other second-level potions one after another.
Among them, in addition to three healing potions, there is also a Holy Light Pill that can increase the effect of light healing spells, and an Earth Rock Pill that can increase the effect of earth spells. They were both used by Lei Xiao and Fang Hai successively. Good shot.
So far, Lei Xiao has obtained a total of 10 first-level magic potions and 10 second-level magic potions.
"Excluding the gold dragons consumed by these 20 potions, I still have more than 800,000 gold dragons left, which can be considered a small profit."
Just when Lei Xiao put down his wine glass, he thought of this.
Baron Polly on the auction stage took another small brocade box and said with a mysterious smile: "Dear distinguished guests, this is the last item in this auction. Please don't miss it."
"The last thing?"
After hearing Baron Polly's serious words, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows with interest and began to think.
The other thirty pieces of third-level equipment that I provided have not yet appeared, and they should be arranged for the next auction.
"According to Kelly, although there are three auctions in total today, only the first two are for various types of equipment, potions, potion materials, and other items that are useful to me."
"And the last one is a special art auction, and almost all of them are fakes. Even many of the bidders present are pretended by the owner of Fanyin City. They are just to attract powerful people from the mysterious organization. There is no such thing as The reality of the auction.”
"In other words, the only auctions that I can really participate in are this one and the next one. As for the last one of the night, naturally I will wholeheartedly snatch the mysterious ancient box."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and continued to think.
"At present, many high-ranking nobles and wealthy businessmen in the front row have not made a move. From this, it is not difficult to see that the real good things should be concentrated in the next auction."
"However, since it is the last item in the first game, there must be some surprises, right?"
Looking at the brocade box, which was obviously different from the magic potion, another trace of curiosity appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
At this moment, Baron Polly on the auction stage slowly opened the exquisite brocade box in his hand.
Through the giant magic projection suspended above the auction table, everyone present could see the items clearly at the first time.
What caught everyone's eyes was a ring that exuded bright golden light.
I could see that the surface of the ring shone with a faint splendor, and occasionally a trace of strange energy emanated from it, causing slight ripples in the magic projection.
"Energy fluctuations in the space system?"
After seeing the radiant magic image, Lei Xiao suddenly showed a look of enlightenment and murmured to himself: "It turns out to be a storage ring."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's originally dull eyes began to become a little fiery.
In this world, items with storage space are very convenient.
However, because it is very rare, I do not have a large reserve.
But it is undeniable that if the main powerful men under his command can be equipped with a storage ring.
Not only can you put your high-level weapons, commonly used illusion cloaks and other daily items into it for easy use, but you can also reserve some for everyone, such as healing potions and attack spell scrolls, etc. for combat. Auxiliary items needed.
In this way, at the critical moment of the battle, it is undoubtedly much more convenient than taking it out yourself and distributing it to everyone.
"If I successfully photograph this storage ring and then upgrade it to produce quantitative changes, my goal will naturally be achieved! I will definitely get this storage ring."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this with some excitement.
I saw Baron Polly on the auction stage, smiled elegantly, and began to introduce: "Dear guests, this item must be the same as the first item, and most of the people present are familiar with it, right?"
< br>
"This is a storage ring carefully made by a certain fourth-level space magician in the kingdom. It is a brand new product that has never known its owner."
"Because it is made of holy meteorite gold that is extremely compatible with space magic, the storage space inside it reaches an astonishing 50 cubic meters, far exceeding that of ordinary storage rings."
"Thus, the base price of this storage ring is 200,000 gold dragons, and each increase is 10,000 gold dragons. Please don't miss it and start bidding."
As soon as Baron Polly finished speaking, Lei Xiao was once again reminded of the endless stream of silver bells.
It seems that as the finale item of the first auction, this storage ring with a large capacity does have a lot of appeal.
Feeling the increasingly heated atmosphere around him, Lei Xiao touched the storage bracelet with 10,000 cubic meters of space on his wrist. He did not rush to start bidding, but began to look around.
At this time, despite the ringing of silver bells in the front row area and the continuous shouting in the back row area.
But the group of powerful senior nobles that Kelly introduced before, headed by the elder of the Xuansen family who had just been promoted to the fourth level of power, still looked calm and relaxed, or closed their eyes and concentrated. , or toasting and drinking alone, obviously not intending to participate in the competition.
"It seems logical that these aristocratic families with long family histories more or less all have storage rings that have been handed down. This can be seen from Xue Ya and Faxia."
"For them, using hundreds of thousands of golden dragons to buy equipment or other valuable items is obviously much more useful than having one more storage ring. This is the so-called family heritage, but this is not It gave them an excuse to be blindly proud and decadent.”
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao shrugged and returned to focusing on the bidding of the first final item.
As the silver bells continued to ring, the price of this storage ring also climbed to the height of 400,000 gold dragons.
In the process, Lei Xiao noticed.
The rich and fat aristocrat behind him also had a longing look on his face and rang the bell several times.
However, as the price rose, the sweat on his forehead also gradually increased, and finally he had no choice but to give up.
Tina and Ryan, the two knight captains on both sides of him, also did not choose to bid. Apparently they also planned to keep their funds for the next more exciting auction.
Seeing that the person he needed to win over had no desire to buy it, Lei Xiao no longer had any scruples. He calmly rang the silver bell and started to pass the level.
Not long after, when the price was fixed at 550,000 golden dragons, Lei Xiao was finally the only one left on the field.
"Then, congratulations again to our distinguished guest No. 8 for obtaining the ownership of this storage ring!"
Immediately, Baron Polly's signature magnetic and loud voice sounded again.
Seeing Lei Xiao stand out with his huge investment of 550,000 gold dragons and successfully acquire the storage ring, the fat nobleman sitting in the back row couldn't help but scratch his head with a puzzled look on his face.
He suddenly felt that something was wrong. He seemed to have made some stupid moves in this first auction.
In confusion, the fat noble tilted his head and considered it carefully, but found nothing special. In the end, he had no choice but to give up and focus his attention again on a slim ceremonial staff not far away.
Just like that, after Baron Polly announced that the first auction was over, Lei Xiao let out a sigh of relief with a satisfied expression on his face.
In this first auction, while I successfully obtained 20 magic potions and the final item storage ring, not only did I not spend a penny, but I also made nearly 300,000 gold dragons, which is very good.
"I wonder what kind of rare items will appear in the second auction that many high-ranking nobles present attach great importance to?"
Thinking of this, another look of expectation appeared on Lei Xiao's face. (End of chapter)
