Chapter 114 The auction begins
They don't live together, mainly because they are afraid of being unable to bear it.
When a man and a woman live together alone, it's easy to take the last step.
Although she learned a certain oral technique under his guidance, the feeling of the upper part of the mouth and the lower part of the mouth were still different, mainly because the upper part did not dare to use force.
After briefly washing up, he went out. After waiting for a while, Ding Youran was ready to go out. He reached out and took her hand and got on the hovercraft.
The auction venue is located on a certain floor of the Star Castle. The hovercraft ascends along the sightseeing passage. On the way, I saw many players standing on the craft and flying in the same direction. They should also be here to participate in the auction.
Unlike most people who usually dress formally on battleships, many of them wear military uniforms common to pioneers. During leisure time, everyone wears casual clothes, especially women.
It was rare for leisure, and many men had beautiful female companions. Li Qing and Ding Youran were not conspicuous among them.
Although he made a splash in the limelight half a year ago, people are forgetful, and half a year later, most people have forgotten what he looks like.
No one would recognize him even if he stood in front of him, but if he introduced himself - I am Li Qing, the military commander of the Jialan Army, then many people would be surprised and said, 'Wow, it's you! ’
This is also a good thing for Li Qing. He doesn't want to be famous like a celebrity and has no privacy at all.
When I arrived at the venue, there were several beautiful waiters in cheongsam at the door checking invitations. It seemed that they were all natural people, not clones or cyborgs.
When they arrived, one of the beautiful waiters bent down and saluted, hit an electronic device with his hand and said with a smile:
"Please show me your invitation letter!"
The so-called invitation letter is to swipe the left wrist wheel to verify the identity. There are so many people attending the auction, many of whom are out all year round, so it is impossible for each person to send a physical invitation letter.
"Beep!"
The electronic instrument lit up, and a beam of clear light was projected on it. A dark golden pattern appeared on it, with a line of small words written in the center.
The woman's eyes brightened visibly, and her attitude became more respectful:
"It turns out to be the military commander of the Jialan Army. Please wait."
The woman used her wrist wheel to notify the rear, and soon a beautiful woman wearing a silver cheongsam that highlighted her exquisite figure came over. She clasped her hands on her lower abdomen and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency, please follow me."
Li Qing smiled, nodded, and followed her.
Looking over the swaying figure of this elegant cheongsam beauty, Li Qing turned his head and said in Ding Youran's ear:
"When the auction is over, you can also buy a few sets of cheongsam."
She whispered:
"I have it. I'll show it to you when I get back."
He raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice:
"Is there one with a high splay?"
Ding Youran's face showed a hint of speechlessness, but also a little shy:
"No."
"Then go buy it."
"Yeah!"
The voice was so low that I almost couldn't hear it clearly.
The cheongsam beauty took him to the back of the auction house and entered a corridor. He saw many doors on the side of the corridor with numbers on them. There was a cheongsam woman standing at many doors, and two people stood at the door numbered 17. The man was chatting with the beautiful woman in cheongsam at the door.
Seeing Li Qing and Ding Youran passing by, one of the men hesitated for a moment, turned his head and asked his companion:
"Look at that person and see if he looks familiar."
Another man who was chatting with the beautiful woman turned his head and took a closer look, and a look of shock immediately appeared on his face:
"It's the military commander of the Jialan Army!"
"Li Qing?"
"Yes, that's him. The one next to him should be Ding Youran, the industrial director of the Jialan Army."
"When did he come back? I haven't heard from him for half a year, so I thought he was going to do something big."
"No, why are he and Ding Youran so close? Didn't he and Yu Yuefei, the commander of the Jialan Army, get together a long time ago? Are they two people?"
"Big news, two women competing for husbands, this kind of romantic novel plot is being staged in the Jialan Army. Do you think there will be an earthquake within the Jialan Army, leading to a split?"
The latter glanced at his friend and said:
"Is there a possibility that both women fall in love with him and serve the same husband together?"
"It's impossible. Both of them are descendants of military chiefs. They are both direct descendants. They have such high visions. How can it be possible? Well, it's not impossible."
He rubbed his hair and said:
"This one is so powerful. He is a powerful spiritual ascendant, he also holds a top-notch relic, a space relic, and he has a super naval commander under his command. Except for his poor background, everything else is top-notch. Ranking among the top five in overall evaluation among all the pioneers in the entire outpost, he is considered a super diamond king. It is not impossible to attract the attention of two beauties at the same time. ”
Another nodded and added:
"His only shortcoming is that he was born in a branch of the Qinghe Li family. The Qinghe Li family itself is considered to be at the lower end of the military hierarchy, and the branch is not taken seriously. I heard that he basically did not get much support from the family in the early stage. This achievement is all due to my own hard work. I admire this very much. If I can marry With the marriage of Yu Yuefei and Ding Youran to these two families, and the support of the local landlord Yu family, they can immediately make up for the biggest shortcomings. By then, they will probably be one of the top few among all the pioneers in the outpost. As long as they Unless there is a big accident, it will not be a problem to capture a living planet.”
"Tsk tsk, you are a winner in life!"
"Envy!"
The two of them couldn't help but smack their lips as they watched Li Qing guided by the cheongsam beauty to the end of the corridor and stopped in front of the No. 2 door number.
Before this, there were numbers 1 and 0.
"Mr. Li Qing, this box belongs to the Jialan Army, please come in!"
Li Qing glanced in front and asked:
"Who do those two belong to?"
The woman responded immediately:
"Box No. 1 belongs to the Halo Legion, and Box No. 0 is reserved. It will only be used if a big shot from the Expeditionary Force comes."
"Well, thank you for your answer."
"You're welcome."
The beauty in cheongsam opened the door, and Li Qing motioned for Ding Youran to come forward.
There is no problem with this box arrangement. Although he is confident of defeating the current Halo Legion head-on, in the eyes of outsiders, the Halo Legion, which has a larger fleet and has five times more population, territory, and affiliated players than Jialan, is indeed better than Jialan. The legion is stronger.
He doesn't care about temporary gains and losses. It doesn't matter if they can't compete now. In a year and a half, when they take over the Reef Nest Galaxy, everyone will naturally know who is stronger.
The box was not big, and the decoration was quite luxurious, but none of them paid attention to this. He came to the entire undecorated glass wall in the box, pressed his fingers lightly, and a circle of transparent ripples spread out. The glass lit up and quickly changed. It must be transparent, and you can clearly see that behind the entire wall is the huge auction venue.
You can clearly see the outside from the inside, but you can't see them from the outside.
At this time, the beauty in cheongsam introduced:
"The auction will start later. All the lots will be projected on the light screen in front. You can adjust the distance and bid. I am outside the door. What can I do?"
Li Qing suddenly reached out to stop him, turned to look outside the door, with a smile on his lips, and said to the cheongsam beauty:
"It's okay. You go out first. I'll call you if anything happens."
"Okay."
She bowed and backed away. When she opened the door, she saw several people standing outside the door of the box next door, surrounded by an extremely handsome man. The two of them turned their heads at the same time as if they were sensing something.
"Ye Xiao!"
"Li Qing!"
The light of psychic energy suddenly overflowed from the eyes of the two men, but they were still holding back.
The two of them smiled at the same time, and their gazes were interrupted as the door closed.
"That's Li Qing?"
Lu Yi, who was standing next to Ye Xiao, didn't see it, but guessed it based on the room.
"They should also be here for those two flagships."
Ye Xiao smiled and said:
"So what, everyone depends on their ability!"
Lu Qing on the other side smiled and said:
"If everyone relies on their abilities, then we will definitely get this flagship. In terms of capital, I don't believe any team can match us."
Not long after, Li Qing and Ding Youran chatted in the box for a while when they heard the clear ringing of the bell. They looked up and looked through the glass to see the huge auction venue outside.
Compared to sitting among the crowd last time, this time I could sit in a box, and the change in identity and status was particularly real.
"Boom!"
The energetic auction host walked up to the stage, tapped the gong lightly with a golden hammer, and said loudly in a passionate voice:
"Welcome all old and new friends to participate in this auction conference. The rules of this auction are as follows."
"When you enter the venue, you are deemed to have acquiesced that the auction house will provide auction services. You may not use this as a reason to regret or give up the auction afterwards."
“During the bidding process, you are not allowed to make any noise, collude to lower prices, raise prices maliciously, or interfere with normal bidding in any form. Violators will be expelled from the auction venue and blacklisted by the auction house, and will not be allowed to enter the auction house again in the future. Related auction sites. ”
"Once the auction item is auctioned, if there is a breach of contract, 20% of the auction item will be paid as liquidated damages. If you refuse to pay, you will be expelled from the auction venue and blacklisted."
"The following are the basic rules of this auction. If you have any questions, please contact customer service. The auction begins now. Please take the first lot in this auction."
Two hostesses came over carrying a silver plate covered with red cloth. The auction host uncovered the red cloth, revealing a crystal card on the silver plate. The host pointed at the card and introduced loudly:
"This is a hundred standard Ranger-class cruisers, finished product, equipped with all five-level cannons and salvo modules, including clone crew, senior crew and captain. It is parked at the outpost star fort. Just take a picture. Can be put into battle, the starting price is 200 billion star yuan, and the minimum price increase is 1 billion.”
"One hundred cruisers."
He turned around and saw a slight movement on Ding Youran's face, patted the back of her hand gently and said:
"No, it's too expensive."
She hesitated and said:
"But this is a hundred finished cruisers."
Li Qing nodded and said:
"I know it's a hundred finished cruisers, but I can build cruisers now, and it's much cheaper than auctioning them. There's no need to spend this money."
"I know you can build it, but you can only build ten ships at a time, and there are not enough points within the legion."
"It's not that I can only build ten ships at a time, but I only have one chief engineer. If there are several, I can build dozens of ships at a time."
“It’s so lacking!”
Li Qing nodded with emotion:
"There are too few senior professional talents. There are so few chief engineers on cruisers and even fewer chief engineers on battleships. Don't worry, I will find a way to get a group of senior professional talents. By then, the speed of shipbuilding will increase. It won't take long. It will be possible to produce dozens of cruisers and even battleships in one batch.”
Hearing this, Ding Youran did not insist anymore and nodded:
"Then I'm waiting for your good news."
There are many players who think like Ding Youran. When the auctioneer confirms that bidding is possible, a bunch of people immediately raise their cards at the same time.
Then a group of people quickly raised their placards as if they were robbing each other, and the price rose almost every second. It was so fast that even the professional auctioneer couldn't keep up with the bidding speed, and could only shout the price every few seconds.
In less than half a minute, the price went from the starting price of 200 billion to 400 billion star yuan, and it is still rising, and the speed has not slowed down much.
The normal market price of a top-end cruiser is 5.2 billion star yuan, and 100 of them is 520 billion. There will definitely be a certain premium at the auction, and 300 billion is still far from the final transaction price.
Li Qing lay on the soft sofa with his legs crossed and watched the bidding outside, rarely enjoying this kind of relaxation.
In about two minutes, the price slowly stopped when it reached about 584 billion in an unknown number of people's alternate bids.
After all, it is a cruiser, not a battleship. If there were a hundred battleships here, there would be people who would demand 100% of the premium.
The final transaction price was SGD 592 billion.
It has to be said that as the strength of players increases, the specifications of this auction are also slowly increasing. In the last auction, it seemed that the final items did not fetch such high prices.
"When the scale of shipbuilding increases in the future, we can also prepare a hundred cruisers for auction at a time."
Ding Youran covered her mouth and chuckled:
"Are you jealous?"
"Of course I'm jealous, this is more profitable than retail."
With the sound of the golden hammer, the dust settled, and soon the second auction began.
Compared with the first lot, the second lot was much inferior. It was only a hundred destroyers, and the total price was only 75 billion.
The next auctions are mostly related to battleships, with multiple battleships bound together for auction, or some rare blueprints, such as sixth-level technology blueprints obtained by digging graves or opening boxes, or which can be used for thousands of dollars. Manji's blueprint and the like.
This is intentional on the part of the auction house.
Although there are actually many things that can be auctioned, for the players at the outpost, the most useful things are fleet-related things. As long as they can directly improve their strength, they don't have to worry about selling them.
Lots were bought one by one by players in the auction below, and more than thirty lots were sold successfully. Except for the first hundred cruisers, there were no bids in the twenty boxes above.
For them, most of these ordinary auctions are ignored. Their goal is to come for the final finale.
“Next is lot 35.”
The auctioneer introduced everyone with the same enthusiasm as at the beginning:
"Two slaves from the United Civilization of the Shatta Tribes with erudite talents have not yet determined their professions. If they are bought back, they can freely choose their profession for training. The starting price is 2 billion star yuan, and each increase in price shall not be less than 100 million star yuan."< br>
At the same time, a beam of light fell down, and inside was a creature with the head of a snake and the body of a snake. It was a snake-man clan from the eight tribes of the Shata tribe. (End of chapter)
