Chapter 1248 Money to Burn
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this auction!”
Spotlights surround the center of the stage, which can be called light pollution. The host, whose mechanization rate is far more than 60%, takes the microphone and loudly says: "I am Josh, the host of this auction, and I will be the host for you next." Introducing the secret treasure from among the stars! ”
The mechanical structure from his chest to his lower abdomen opened, showing his teeth and claws, and he took out a thick book from it. It felt more like a human-shaped box than a person.
"This auction is still divided into five major categories, magic items! Biological products! Historical relics! Collections from other worlds! And the finale of sacred relics!"
Alyssa and the others were staying in their room at this time. Long and Sophia stood by the window and watched the emcee's introduction through the one-way glass, while Alyssa and Eunice sat on the sofa and watched the projection screen.
However, Fang Lanyin seemed to be more interested in the small wine cabinet on one side. She heard the emcee's voice and asked with some confusion: "How many things are there in one auction?"
"Generally speaking, it's a total of 100 items in five categories."
Alyssa said casually:
"The proportions of each category may not be the same every time, but Diving Devil will always gather these five categories in every auction to try to cover as many customers as possible."
Since Alyssa came with someone else's invitation, she had never seen the catalog before. While watching the live broadcast, she stretched out her hand to scroll through the detailed introduction of each item on the screen.
While they were talking, everyone saw several people dressed in different clothes, who should be considered auction girls, pushing a trolley up.
This scene is very strange. The wheelbarrow is the kind used for dusting on construction sites. You can even see the remaining lumps of concrete on it.
That is not a means of transportation for the auction item, but the thing itself is the auction item.
The spotlight was turned on, allowing everyone to see the appearance of the trolley more clearly.
The auction girl who was responsible for pushing the trolley up was about to let go, when suddenly her whole body seemed to have been hit by a stick from the side, and she plunged into the body of the trolley.
Then, accompanied by ear-piercing screams and blood rushing everywhere, the cart actually seemed to be alive and even burped.
"As you all have seen, this is a cursed natural activation item. It has only been handled twice since our company opened. It is of great collection value, so don't miss it!"
The emcee continued to introduce the origin of the trolley as if he hadn't seen it, and the staff quickly came up to wipe away the blood stains as if they were used to it. You could even see these people picking up some scraps of meat and bones on the ground.
"Talk! How disgusting. Does anyone actually buy this kind of thing?"
Fang Lanyin said what Li Chengqi wanted to say most.
Li Chengqi, who had watched the whole process, said, aside from other things, the auction girls of Diving Devil are really top-notch. Don’t think that all girls are female, there are also males, and there are even some who are neither male nor female and some who are very different. It's hard to tell what gender it is.
After all, the void is too big, and there are races of all sexual orientations. In Deep Devil, it can be said that as long as you are not an outrageous thing like a gunship or a Wal-Mart shopping bag, you can find the type you like.
Originally, Li Chengqi was still admiring the vertical painting of the literal bunny girl on the cart, but then he turned into mincemeat...
Damn, the sanity level has plummeted.
"Cursed magic items are always in demand, and this activation cart is a rare and top-quality item. It will probably cause a mad rush."
Eunice also agreed with Alyssa's judgment, which made Fang Lanyin even more unable to understand the world of rich people.
As expected, the emcee introduced the ins and outs of the trolley and then announced the start of bidding. For a moment, the entire auction venue was like a carnival, and the bidding numbers displayed at the top soared into the sky like a flying monkey.
Magic items are actually not uncommon in Viola. You can buy low-level magic items at any magic shop, and they can even be customized according to your needs.
What is really rare are high-level magic items, that is, the level above perfection.
But on Alyssa's side, magic items are very difficult to find. Although their personal terminals and starships can be considered magic items, things like enchanted swords and indestructible armor almost do not exist.
The reason is that due to technological iteration, no one can produce it now.
It's like digging out an ax from the Stone Age on the earth. Do you think this thing is high-end?
Not high-end.
But it has historical value.
It is also like the treasures of ancient war hammers dug up in the 40K era. In short, they are very rare.
Under the premise of this rarity, coupled with the fact that it is a natural cursed magic item, it is even more rare among the rare.
It sounds dangerous to buy a cart that can eat people and put it at home, but for these guys with countless money, the more curious they are, the more interesting it will be.
After all, cursed magic items are not allowed to be bought or sold. The more you prevent them from being used, the more comfortable it will be for me.
——A bit perverted indeed.
In the end, this cursed magic item was bought for seven figures, but Alyssa said: "Lucky guy, you got a bargain."
Maybe you don’t have a direct idea of the purchasing power of gold coins.
For example, Alyssa escaped from the starship and later received a loan of two thousand gold coins at the Gemini space station.
Including her own small treasury (coin purse), there are only seven or eight thousand gold coins in total, which supports Alyssa all the way to get her account back.
During this period, in addition to the expenses in Blackhand Port that can be accounted for, all expenses including weapons, equipment, supplies, etc. are all paid here, and there will still be one or two thousand left in the end.
For ordinary people, this amount of money is enough for them to achieve class leap.
And this is only a mere six to seven thousand gold coins.
It's even more exaggerated when it comes to Viola. One gold coin is enough for common people to live on for nearly three months, and it's for a family of three.
Spending seven figures on a cart that eats people, and it’s so cheap?
I really don’t understand what rich people think.
The cannibalistic trolley was bought, and the next product was pushed up. This time it looked much more normal, but also much more dangerous.
There is a glass box about three meters high, with a purple crystal ball about the size of a human head suspended in it, and a large amount of glass shards can be seen below.
The emcee took out his pistol and fired a shot at the glass box, demonstrating to everyone that it was a box made of special material that was immune to all firepower below 20 mm caliber.
But everyone can see that the inside of the glass box is full of impact cracks, which were all caused by the crystal ball inside.
The box it was originally stored in was not that big, but it was discovered that it was going to be smashed, so a new layer was put on the outside, and then it was broken again, and another layer was put on it, repeated over and over again, and finally it became the three-meter-high one it is now. glass box.
Although this magic item, known as the Impact Purple, was not as expensive as the cart, it was still sold for a six-figure price. This price is enough to buy a yacht-level void aircraft.
Sure enough, they all have money to burn.
