Chapter 47: The Auction (Three) (First Update)
In the auction house for days.
The originally cheerful Yi Chi became serious after the third auction item was brought up.
"Item in front of you: Energy Gathering Disk. Function: Gather elemental energy from the air, producing 500 energy points per day."
The information obtained after using the probing technique shocked Yi Chi.
Gather energy?
Daily 500 points?
"This I must get." Yi Chi's eyes were fixed firmly on the energy disc that had just been placed on the high platform.
At the same time.
Lishi Yuan was also introducing this strange object in front of everyone.
A disk?
"This object is a magical device that can absorb elemental energy and store it within this disc, which can be stored for three days. After three days, the elemental energy will dissipate."
"The starting price is 200 gold coins, and each increase in price must be at least 10 gold coins."
Li Yuan was somewhat unenthusiastic when introducing this energy disc.
It can only store energy for three days and its storage limit is not high. For a noble magician, this thing is not worth much.
As expected——
After Li Yuan finished introducing, there was no one bidding below.
"Ah, it seems like it's going to be a no-sale again." Li Yuan sighed to himself. In fact, this thing was found by the Li Tian Auction House in an ancient ruin, of course, along with many other things that were discovered together with it. Some were obtained by the high-level executives of the Li Tian Auction House, while others were sold at auction. Only this one had been a no-sale for three rounds and still hadn't found a buyer.
And its price has also dropped from 2,000 gold coins to the current 200 gold coins.
"No choice, can only send it to the next branch then. Don't know why those high-ups are unwilling to lower the price again, this small amount of several hundred gold coins, they shouldn't be bothered by it." Li Yu thought to himself.
How could he know that the high-level people had sacrificed how many masters to develop the relic, and the things in the relic couldn't be measured by price. Those high-level people would never let its price be lower than 200, which was the number of people who were sacrificed at that time.
Isn't one person even worth 1 gold coin?
"So, we have invited..." Li Yuangang was about to put away this object and switch to another one, but a voice interrupted him.
"I'm taking exit 210."
Lishi looked towards the direction of the sound.
Huangzi 107?
Not bad, it's exactly what Yi Chi called for.
He thought he would wait until the end to call out a high price, so he hesitated and didn't bid. However, unexpectedly, no one else bid either. Just as Lishi Yuan was about to take down the item, Yi Chi hastily called out this price.
"Alright, now Yellow Character 107 has bid 210 gold coins. Is there anyone who can outbid him?" Li Yuan said loudly after reacting.
"First time in 2010."
"210 The second time."
"210 Third time, 210 deal."
After announcing the result at a speed several times faster than the previous two items, Lishu let out a sigh of relief.
"At least it's been sold, haha."
And Huang Ziyu 107 also smiled with a hint of satisfaction.
It's possible to buy such good things at such a cheap price, so Yichi can't help but be happy. However, he also finds it strange that these other people seem to have no interest in the energy-saving pan at all?
"Autumn rain, do you know why these people are not interested in this gathering?" Yi Chi asked Autumn Rain beside him, unable to think of a reason.
"I know, this thing can only store energy for three days, the time is too short, and it also has a storage limit, which is very small, not as good as using a magic core!! Young master, you also know that magicians are all rich, they won't buy this thing to save money." Qiu Yu said matter-of-factly, in fact, she really didn't understand why her young master wanted to buy this thing, he's not even a magician, what's the use of it?
"Haha, so that's how it is!" Yi Chi suddenly said. However, it was also because of these reasons that Yi Chi benefited, he didn't need the Energy Storage Disk to store energy for too long a time. After all, he would absorb it away every day. And this upper limit wasn't too small either, at least there were 500 points of energy, right? It wasn't small at all, 500 points per day, and in a year that would be 182,500 points.
It's true that every little bit counts.
"It wasn't a wasted day after all, at least I gained something." Yi Chi thought to himself.
......
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have our fourth item up for auction next," Li Yuanguo shouted loudly.
This fourth auction item is a suit of armor, with a golden hue and perfect craftsmanship, plus the faintly glowing magical patterns that adorn it, all of which attest to its value.
"This is the 'Glory of Light' armor worn by General Wester Slade of the Xian Tian Empire 1000 years ago. It's also a famous magical armor that can absorb and deflect magic attacks, making it an unbeatable armor to wear when fighting against magicians."
Li Yuan pointed at the perfect armor and shouted loudly.
Wow!!!
Indeed, his introduction also thrilled all the participants in this auction, except for Yi Chi.
Only in Huangzi 107, Yi Chi looked at that perfect armor with disdain.
"Item in Front: Glory's Light. Function: Can absorb and reflect all low-level magic except dark system, reflection attack power is 30% of the original magic. Principle: Absorb the magic crystal stone set on the back to generate a light system absorption shield. Disadvantages: Consumes a huge amount of energy, a whole piece of fifth-grade magic crystal stone can only support the absorption shield to absorb ten low-level magics."
"These fools, I reckon they'll pay a high price for this terrifying energy-consuming machine again." Yi Chi said in a low voice as he looked at the excited crowd below.
"Master, what are you talking about?" Autumn Rain looked at Yi Chi strangely. She had seen her master speaking just now, at least, she saw the movement of his lips.
"There's nothing to say, they're just stupid." Yi Chi said calmly.
"Clumsy? But isn't that armor very famous?!" Akira said in puzzlement.
"Haha, yes, it's very famous, but don't forget who used it, the general of that empire, they have a lot of money, of course they can afford it. But what about them? Do they have it? No! This armor is terrifyingly expensive, fifth-grade magic crystal! That's something that's three times more expensive than a magic core of the same level, and yet it can only absorb ten low-level magic spells, too extravagant." Yichi also said in surprise.
On the mainland, these magic crystals are generally war materials or very hard to buy items. Unlike magic cores, which cannot be directly absorbed by humans and must be used for refining or placed on a magic staff to enhance magical power, magic crystals are different. Not only are they essential for setting up transmission arrays, but they can also be directly absorbed by humans. Moreover, the ultimate weapons of various empires, 'magic cannons', are all driven by magic crystals.
The magic crystal is also divided into twelve levels, and its price is three times that of the magic core of the same level. Moreover, it is not easy to buy.
......
Yiqi was explaining the shortcomings of this armor to Qiuyue by the side of the pool.
Outside has already started fierce bidding.
"Honor's Light, starting price 10,000 gold coins, each increase in price must be at least 1,000 gold coins."
When Lisi announced the start of the auction, everyone began shouting out prices.
"12,000, I'll take it." This time, a voice came from the VIP room on the second floor.
Also, with a price of tens of thousands, it's no longer something that ordinary wealthy families can afford. If you don't have some status, even if you buy it, you won't be able to keep it safe.
"Haha, I'll pay 15,000." This is the luxurious VIP room Huang Zi 03.
"Heh heh, I wonder if this guy has found the weakness of this armor?" Yi Chi said with a smile in the VIP room, looking towards the direction of Huang Zi 03.
"Hmph, I'll add 20,000. Who wants to compete with me?" The young master of Huangzi No. 1 looked like he really had money, and actually added 5,000 gold coins in one go.
The crowd below was in an uproar; this was no longer something they could participate in.
"Hmph, two little brats also dare to compete with me? I'll offer 30,000." Another mysterious guest in the VIP room bid.
"Oh, so it's Old Man Lu. I was thinking of competing with you, I'll put up 50,000." The young master Huang Zi 01 surprisingly knew the mysterious guest in the Xuanzi VIP room.
"Is your surname Lu? Are you a member of the Lu family?" Yi Chi furrowed his brow in thought.
"Hmph, you're so effeminate! I'll give 1 million." The person from Huangzi 03 reported a stunning price.
"This is outrageous!!! It suddenly increased by 50,000!!! Should I go rob him?!" Yi Chi was also shocked when he heard the price, he had never seen anyone sell like this before, it's as if they didn't care about money at all.
"Hmph, Zhan Que, you really do have money, but don't forget why we came here, or else you won't have enough to buy that thing." The young master Huang Zi 01 said with a cold smile.
"Haha, our family's wealth is far beyond what your humble Flower family can match. This mere 100,000 gold coins, I don't even put it in my eyes. If you, Huajue Yue, are short of money, you can borrow from me, haha..." War Zhan laughed loudly.
"Hmph, you'll know when the time comes." The ridiculed Huā Nòng Yuè didn't retort back. For now, he indeed couldn't compare to that warlord's wealth, but this momentum still can't be lowered.
"Haha, okay, I'm waiting to see then." Zhan Rou continued to sarcastically remark without giving in.
