Chapter 66 Black market auction and taking advantage of the situation
Originally, Li Qing came here for the black market auction and wanted to see if he could get something good here.
But now that he opened the box and found a magical relic such as the imitation Agamora Magic Lamp, he no longer had such great expectations for the black market auction. What he wanted to do most now was to end the auction and go back to have a good time. Study this magic lamp.
Three wishes represent three extraordinary benefits. As long as you figure out the maximum value of their abilities, you will be happy.
Not long after, as players who signed up for the black market arrived one after another, at a certain moment, a host in a tuxedo came on stage and rang the bell, and the auction officially began.
The first auction item is a modified and strengthened finished cruiser, with full salvo module and full five-level configuration. The starting price is two billion stars.
At the same time, everyone received a piece of auction information, which showed detailed information on all accessories of the cruiser.
Although everyone has battleships, and most of those who dare to come to the outpost to develop have cruisers, this does not prevent them from getting another finished cruiser that has been configured.
In less than two minutes, the price of this thing was raised to a high price of 6.1 billion, which exceeded the total price of all configurations of this cruiser by about 500 million. It was won by an unknown player.
Generally speaking, the value of the first lot in an auction is second only to that of the finale, and the value of the subsequent lots in the middle is average.
Li Qing and Li Lie were sitting there, looking through the list of auction items and chatting quietly.
Time passed unknowingly, and lots were photographed one by one. Occasionally, he was interested in some, but most of them were too expensive, so he finally gave up.
Soon we came to the later stage of the auction, and the value of each item increased all the way. Soon it was the turn of the four final items of this auction.
It was obvious that everyone in the groggy auction venue was in high spirits. Li Qing also cheered up, because he had just seen the last four items in the auction list and an unknown item, and found that there were two items in it that were very suitable for him. , hoping to get one.
The first item is a finished battleship, a standard knight type, which has not been modified and has been equipped with common fifth-generation weapon accessories. As long as you buy it, you can immediately take it out for combat. The starting price is 20 billion.
The second auction item is a relic, a mask called the Pirate King. The effect is that after consuming a large amount of energy blocks, it can summon a pirate cruiser and three pirate gunboats, and equip itself with a standard combat pirate crew. It can only Use it once and the starting price is 50 billion.
The third item is a standard frigate manufacturing blueprint from the United Civilization of the Shatta Tribes. The reason why it is the finale is because this blueprint can be used 100,000 times and has a starting price of 10 billion.
The fourth item is an ancient relic-level secret treasure chest that has never been opened, with a starting price of 15 billion.
As for the last unknown masterpiece, it is the King of Bid, the finale of the finale. Generally, there will be one in large auctions. Unfortunately, the King of Bid will not be made public before the auction, so there is no way to know in advance what it is.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being an annual black market auction, and the final lot is of good value and rarity.
The four final items are ranked in no particular order, but the first one to be auctioned is the No. 3 frigate manufacturing blueprint with the lowest starting price, which is also one of Li Qing's goals.
This thing comes from the United Civilization of the Sand Tower Tribes. I don’t know where it came from. A blueprint can be used 100,000 times. Normally, a disposable frigate is worth 2 million, and 100,000 times should be worth 200 billion star yuan.
But the problem is that this is a frigate of the Shatta Tribe United Civilization. Its technological level is far inferior to that of humans. As shown in the blueprint, the bare-ship attributes of its frigate are far inferior to those of human standard frigates.
Frigate (Shata-class): used for patrolling, escorting, reconnaissance, warning, mine-laying, supporting landings and supporting Marine Corps landings on planets.
Properties:
Basic hull: 800
Basic Armor: 600
Basic shield: 600
Base speed: 100000 km/h
Default tactic: sentry tactic.
Fleet slot size: 1.
Guard Core (Default)
Components: energy core, super-light components, thrusters, detectors, combat computers.
Weapon slots: S4, P1.
Universal slots: S4, A1.
The basic hull is 200 less than the 1,000 of human fifth-generation frigates, the basic armor and shields are each 400 less, the basic speed is 30,000 kilometers slower, and the weapon slot and general slot are each less than one. Overall, it is compared to the human standard Haiyan class. The frigate was weakened by more than 30%.
If you add the suppression of weapons, the fifth generation versus the third generation, as well as various general accessories and other functional accessories, the overall combat power suppression can reach more than 50%.
What is this concept?
If a single ship is 50% weak, it can still fight a dozen with its command ability. If the whole ship is 50% weak, it will be completely crushed on a large-scale battlefield.
However, no matter how weak it is, it is still a battleship, a battleship that can be used 100,000 times.
If it can be made, it will not affect its use.
It's just that the hull technology is not as good as the Human Empire standards, but the weapons, universal slots, and other accessories are all the Human Empire standards, so the gap is not that big.
It's definitely not possible to be the main force, but it's still fine if it's just cannon fodder and patrol fleet.
"15 billion!"
Li Qing raised his sign and directly added 900 million to the previous bid of 14.1 billion.
Li Lie beside him asked strangely:
"What do you want this for?"
"16 billion!"
The price was lowered by 15.5 billion again, and he replied:
"I have a shipyard that I can use."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately asked for 18 billion, which was directly lowered by 2 billion, but Li Qing raised his sign without hesitation:
"20 billion!"
"Okay, this gentleman bids 20 billion. Is there any boss who wants to bid higher?"
The host's tone was exciting and passionate, but there were not many actual bids. In addition to Li Qing, there were more than a dozen people bidding the same, and as the value increased, some people gradually withdrew from the bidding.
It is normal that there are not many shipments in the frigate blueprint market. Most players with shipyards have small shipyards. When the output is not large, of course they choose standard frigates. Few people specialize in buying such low-end products.
Those who bid against him were basically bosses or representatives of large shipyards.
The remaining people took turns bidding, and soon the price of the drawings reached 30 billion.
Li Qing looked at his remaining assets and whispered to Li Lie:
"Lend me some money later."
"35 billion!"
Li Lie was surprised and said:
"Boss, this thing is not worth 35 billion!"
Li Qing smiled and said nothing, without explaining.
There were many people who had the same idea as him. Many people who had bid before shook their heads and put down their signs.
“Just add 5 billion, that’s crazy!”
A fat man angrily inserted the sign into the slit of a scantily clad beauty and gave up the bidding.
But the two players sitting next to him looked at each other, and Lu Qing on the left whispered:
"Brother, do we want to help?"
Lu Yi hesitated:
"Would it cause fire? If he finds out that we gave up, it will be a big blow to his hands."
Lu Qing smiled and said:
"Of course we won't take action."
After speaking, he opened the communication and sent a message to someone. A man sitting not far from them leaned back and raised his head and held up a sign:
"36 billion!"
"Okay, now someone bids 36 billion. Is there any higher bid?"
The host wished that there would always be people bidding, and he was very happy.
Li Qing frowned and looked over, hesitated for a moment, and continued to hold up the sign:
"37 billion."
The man raised his sign without hesitation:
"38 billion!"
Li Qing was annoyed for a while, thought a thought, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and there was a noise in his ears. He immediately heard a familiar voice among the many noises:
"40 billion should be his psychological expectation, and he will stop after a while."
He quickly turned his head to look in a certain direction, and accurately located a certain seat among the crowd of people. He saw Lu Qing, who also turned to look over. The two looked at each other, one expressionless and the other shocked.
Li Qing only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze and turned the sign over to indicate that he would give up the bidding.
At this time, the auction host also saw his actions and said loudly:
"Now it's 38 billion once, is there anyone bidding?"
"38 billion twice."
The host looked at Li Qing and paused for a moment. Lu Yi looked at Li Qing with an ugly face, and Lu Qing explained in a low voice to the other side of the communication with some embarrassment.
Ten seconds later, when the host saw that Li Qing had not held up the sign, he knew that he had really given up, so he picked up the golden hammer and struck it down without hesitation:
"38 billion times. Congratulations to Mr. Cai Qi from Halo for taking this rare frigate manufacturing blueprint."
Cai Qi from Halo was sitting there with a look on his face, wanting to have an attack, but at this time he was in the wrong place, and he was extremely angry with the Lu brothers who encouraged him.
This thing has no effect. Although the team has its own shipyard, the team shipyard is different from the commercial shipyard. Commercial shipyards face the public. No matter how low-end it is, there will be people who want it as long as it is cheap. But the team is full of elites, who will want it? This is a low-end frigate.
"If you want to trick me, dream!"
Although he didn't get what he wanted, Li Qing was not too disappointed. This thing is the best, and if you don't have it, there is no loss. Anyway, the largest number of warship blueprints on the trading market is the frigate. This has the largest production volume and there is no chance that it will be shorted out. Condition.
He wanted to buy this one just because it was cheap. 100,000 times would be enough for him to use it for a long time.
No matter what they think, the auction is still going on.
The second lot is an ancient relic-level treasure chest, the same kind of treasure chest he just bet on. The ancient relic-level is a level above the fifth-level treasure chest. In theory, it can produce anything that players encounter at this stage, including the fearless flagship. Even the Titan super flagship manufacturing blueprint.
But that's just theory. In fact, there is a high probability that other good things of equal value will come out.
Yes, although the shipment of ancient relic-level treasure chests is still a matter of probability, the minimum limit has been greatly increased, which means that no matter how bad the things inside are, it will not be too bad. I can’t say that the capital will be guaranteed, but no matter how bad it is, you will not lose money. Where to go.
Of course, the premise is that the auction price should not be too outrageous.
Li Qing was a little interested in this thing.
However, after seeing the price rise to 60 billion star dollars in just one minute, he clearly gave up the bidding.
Normally, the price of ancient relic-level treasure chests on the market is about 50 billion star yuan, and 60 billion star yuan has already exceeded.
That is to say, the source of this ancient relic-level treasure chest is from the same place as the mask of the pirate king, which is also a relic in the finale. The estimate of the bid has a high probability of yielding something good, which is equivalent to taking a chance.
This was beyond Li Qing's psychological expectations, so although he thought so, he did not bid in the end.
Five minutes later, the price of this thing was directly raised to 105 billion star yuan, and it was finally taken down by an unknown man wearing a mask.
Soon it was the turn of the third lot, a fully equipped battleship.
The base price of this thing is 20 billion, and the first person to raise a sign directly bids 70 billion, just like a basin of ice water to calm down all the players who are eager to try it.
This price has exceeded the overall value of the battleship by several billion, and the rest is all premium.
However, there are still people who want it in this situation. After more than ten seconds of silence, someone raised a sign:
"71 billion."
"72 billion."
"73 billion."
The bids alternated one by one, adding 1 billion each time. When the bid reached 80 billion, no one finally bid, and it was still won by the man wearing the mask just now.
"Tsk, tsk, so rich."
Li Lie clicked his tongue, looked at the last lot in the auction information in front of him and said:
“The last treasure, I don’t know what a sky-high price this thing can fetch.”
Li Qing shook his head and said:
"No matter what the sky-high price is, it has nothing to do with us anyway."
Li Lie nodded in agreement:
"Yeah, it has nothing to do with us. Our whole team together can't afford it."
And the fact was as they expected, the first bidder was 200 billion, and it was the masked man who had just received two lots in a row.
“So rich!”
Li Lie sighed:
"Probably the leader of a large group at the outpost."
Li Qing thought so too, but the man was wearing a mask and didn't know which large team he came from.
Next, they watched the whole show, watching the price of this relic rising all the way, quickly rising from 200 billion to 300 billion. At this moment, Li Qing had the illusion that the money was not money, but just a series of numbers.
A few minutes later, the last three remaining bidders became slower and slower, and each increase in price increased from 5 billion to 1 billion. Everyone knew that the final transaction price of this treasure was probably between 320 billion and 330 billion. between.
Five minutes later, it was the man in the mask who finally laughed to death and won the treasure for 332 billion star yuan.
After shooting the four finales, the temperature of the venue not only did not drop, but continued to rise, because the finale of the last finale was about to appear.
Generally speaking, if you want to be the best in the finale, the value must be much higher than the last one. Just a little higher is not enough, so not all auctions will have the best in the finale.
This black market auction has just been held for a few years, and this year’s event is the second time. It is probably that the brand is in order to build a reputation, and the auction items are likely to be transferred from other places. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have the local players based on their size. The most perverted item comes to the finale.
Li Qing was also lucky enough to come over after hearing the news just two days ago, otherwise he would have missed it.
As background music played, stars fell from the sky and converged at one point, causing the space to distort. Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a powerful psyker wrapped in a circle of twisted spiritual energy walking out of the spiritual energy channel.
From the outside, to the eyes of non-psionic beings, a distorted figure with an unclear appearance appeared out of thin air as stars fell.
"Distinguished guests, now we reveal the grand finale of this auction." Without any delay, he picked up the silk scarf covering an exquisite and gorgeous crystal plate held in the hand of the psyker. A burst of golden light shone through, revealing the tray. One of them.
