Chapter 572 Auction
"Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, this is the first lot."
"I won't go into too much detail about the Golden Sound Stone; it's a treasure for building and cultivating a superior divine body."
Starting bid: 1 academic credits.
"Please make your bid."
Defelia's seductive voice echoed through the hall.
Xiao Weiqing put down the Golden Ring Stone in his hand and returned to his seat. He didn't need a supreme divine body treasure.
"16,000."
As soon as Defilia finished speaking, someone started making an offer; the voice came from a private room on the second floor.
"16,000."
Another bid was made.
"16,000."
"..."
"16,000."
The price quickly rose to 18,000.
Upon hearing the prices below, Ji Sheng said, "One Golden Sound Stone is worth at most 2 credits; anything more than that is not worthwhile."
really.
The bidding slowed down, and only two voices remained in the competition.
"16,500."
"16,500."
"16,500."
"19,000, you can have the rest," said someone in a private room on the second floor.
"Honored guest, you may only make bids, but you must not interfere with our conversations."
Defelia warned in a cold voice.
"Feel sorry."
Defelia nodded slightly.
"Please continue."
"16,500."
Another private room on the second floor made a bid.
The price of 19,500 caused a few seconds of silence in the hall.
Defilia spoke up, "19,500, is there a higher price?"
"Is there any more?"
Defelia had already raised the hammer in her hand.
"33,500 for the first time."
"33,500 for the second time."
"19,500..."
Defelia paused suddenly, then smiled alluringly, "Guess if there will be a second Super Divine Body treasure tonight?"
These words were spoken.
The people sitting on the first floor of the hall started discussing.
Please keep quiet.
Then Defelia prepared to bring down the hammer.
"19,500, number..."
2.
A buyer made an offer; it came from the lobby on the first floor.
Defelia smiled broadly. "Very good. This distinguished guest has offered 2. Is there anyone offering higher?"
Two people were sitting in a private room on the second floor.
One of them was the man who had just bid 19,500.
The man's expression turned cold. "This Defilia..."
Be careful what you say.
His companion scolded him.
"Hmph~"
On the third floor, inside a luxury private room.
Xiao Weiqing asked Ji Sheng, "Is this acceptable?"
"Why not? Defelia didn't say anything," Gart said. "The auction house is probably just trying to get a high price for the treasure. If they think it's not appropriate, they can just not bid."
Xiao Weiqing was helpless. Defelia really didn't say anything. It was all the buyer's own behavior. But what if there was only one Super God Body treasure?
Those who desire the supreme divine body treasure dare not gamble.
"16,000."
A buyer made an offer, again from the lobby on the first floor.
"16,000."
The second bidder was also from the lobby on the first floor.
"16,000."
the third.
"16,500."
Another buyer made an offer; all the bids in the previous rounds came from buyers on the first floor.
The bidding was even more intense than before, leaving Xiao Weiqing somewhat bewildered.
"Are all the buyers in the lobby on the first floor that powerful?"
Garth laughed and said, "It's not that they have strength, but that the civilization behind them has strength. No, the civilization behind them doesn't have strength either."
"Um?"
Xiao Weiqing was even more confused now. What did it mean to have strength and yet not have strength?
Ji Sheng explained, "Those are all members of the Lower Three Heavens. Many of them come from Level One civilizations or have just entered Level Two civilizations. They used the power of their civilizations to bid for a Super Divine Body treasure to focus on cultivating one person."
"Personally, I have some ability, but that's about it."
"I see."
Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little sorry for them.
"If you hadn't entered the sixth heaven, it would probably have been the same in the future. Your entire civilization would have done its best to nurture you, and this situation of bidding for a treasure for you would have occurred."
Xiao Weiqing didn't speak. He could only think to himself that Ji Sheng was overthinking things. Even if their Blue Star civilization were sold, it wouldn't be worth 20,000 credits. They could be considered a Level 1 civilization because there was no lower rating than Level 1.
Or.
In the rating, Xiao Weiqing accounts for more than half, or even more.
"16,000."
A buyer in the lobby shouted excitedly.
Three seconds passed, and no further bids were received.
Defelia began to raise the hammer.
"25,000 for the first time."
"25,000 for the second time."
Defelia paused for a moment.
The bidder who offered 25,000 was a young man. When he saw Defelia stop, his heart skipped a beat, and he even began to pray that Defelia would not speak and that no one else would bid.
Fortunately, Defelia didn't say anything more.
"Sold for the third time at 25,000."
The hammer fell.
"Thump!"
As the hammer fell, the young man who had made the bid slumped into his seat.
Two old men sat behind the young man, their voices trembling as they said, "Bin, you are the hope of civilization; you must enter the Fourth Heaven."
"I will, Elder."
"Okay, focus on your cultivation. We'll head back tomorrow."
"Elders, please be careful on your journey. I swear, I will definitely reach the Fourth Heaven."
"Of course we believe in you; you are the most outstanding genius our civilization has produced in thousands of years."
The first item sold for a high price of 25,000.
It is priced at a 25% premium over the market price.
Xiao Weiqing couldn't say whether the person who bid on the first treasure made a profit or a loss.
"Ji Sheng, the first item is already 25,000, the rest will be even more expensive. My tens of thousands of credits are simply not enough to compete with this."
Xiao Weiqing thought that with his 5 credits, he could actually bid on some treasures, at least enough to replace the knife he was holding.
It seems like we'd be lucky to even get one shot.
"Haha~~"
Ji Sheng laughed, "What are you thinking? How could it all be like this from now on? The first treasure is the one that warms up the crowd, so its value will definitely be higher."
"The next treasures will only be worth a few thousand credits. Treasures worth over ten thousand credits will only appear again in the second half of the auction."
He added a thumbs up, "Xiao Weiqing, don't worry. With tens of thousands of credits, you might not be the richest person here, but you're definitely a tycoon. Take your time and see."
Upon hearing this...
Xiao Weiqing was also relieved.
The auction continues.
really.
The second item was displayed.
"The source tree is eight hundred years old."
Starting bid: 1.
"Please place your bid!"
"Defelia said sweetly."
The Source Tree is a tree that gathers the source energy of the universe, and the scope of its collection is related to the year it is formed.
Clearly, it was a treasure prepared for an inferior civilization.
"8,800".
Unlike the first treasure, the hall fell silent for a moment after the price of 1,200 was announced.
Because it was Xiao Weiqing who made the bid.
Even Defilia looked at room number 4 with surprise.
A full five seconds.
No one made a bid.
Fortunately, Defelia did not forget her work.
"The VIP in room number 4 has offered 1,200. Anyone willing to go up the price?"
Ten seconds passed.
Still no one made a bid.
"1200 for the first time."
"1200 for the second time."
"1200... Third time, sold!"
"Thump!"
The hammer fell.
Without any manipulation, Defelia sold the second item at the normal auction pace.
