Ruian played with an auction card in his hand and said: "Ebony, have you participated in auctions here before? Can you tell me how this auction card is used?"
This auction sign was replaced by someone from the auction house with an invitation card when Ruian entered the venue. According to this auction sign, you can bid. However, Ruian, who came here for the first time, did not know how to use it. He did not ask the auction house.
The staff inside directly asked the ebony beside him.
"Haha, this is very simple. Look at the number on the auction card. This is your number. Look at the communication box in front of the seat. When you want to bid, place the auction card in the slot on the communication box.
Then just submit your bid. The auction table below will know your auction card number and hear your bid," Wu Mu explained with a smile.
Suddenly Ryan was very curious. He looked at the ordinary-looking wooden box in front of him and the auction sign in his hand. These two things were very magical. From his magician's point of view, they should be the effects of magic and magic circles, but Ryan
His knowledge of magic was very shallow, and he couldn't figure out the reason why these voices spread, so he had to give up sadly.
Ruian saw that the number on his auction card was No. 109. It was obvious that the number on the auction card ranked high among thousands of guests was due to the glory of the third prince Mo Fen.
Later, Ruian asked Wu Mu about the auction and learned some basic information.
All VIPs in the box can use the auction cards and communication boxes to bid. People only know the auction card number but not who it is. But the ordinary guests in the bottom seats are not so lucky. They need to stand up and bid. In this case
, once you buy something of great value, it will be easily remembered by others, thus exposing your identity. This may later attract the greed of some people with bad intentions, thus causing some trouble.
Everyone was chatting and waiting. Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the auction to begin. This auction lasted only one day, but there were tens of thousands of items to be auctioned. Judging from the situation, it seemed that there would be no end to the auction. In fact, it was not the case.
Ninety-five percent of the auction items are ordinary items, but there are not that many types. There are only hundreds of types, but each type has a large quantity. In addition, the auction is anonymous, so the auction time is very fast.
Even so, I think the auction will take a whole day and won't end until midnight.
Ruian looked down at the rows of seats on the bottom floor and found that only about 70% of the seats were occupied. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that for such an important auction, the people who had received the invitation would not come to attend. It was really a pity. But then
Ruian thought about it for a moment and immediately felt that something was wrong. It must be that some ordinary guests were worried about being recognized and might not go to sit in a familiar box. In this way, they could also use the auction cards to bid.
While Ruian was looking around, a middle-aged man in robes, accompanied by dozens of boys and girls, slowly walked onto the auction stage, and then stood behind the table on the stage. Each of the dozens of boys and girls held an auction in their hands.
Trays covered with brocade cloth were lined up in a row behind the middle-aged man in a robe on the auction stage. Obviously, these trays were the auction items.
Some of the noisy guests in the venue gradually quieted down and looked towards the auction table.
The middle-aged man in long robes is about fifty years old. His slightly white hair is combed back smoothly. He has a square face and thick jaws. He looks quite wealthy. Coupled with the gentle smile on his face, he makes people feel...
Trustworthy.
The middle-aged man in robes raised a small hammer on the wooden table in front of him and struck the small iron piece placed on the table. There was a "dang" sound that resounded throughout the audience.
The middle-aged man in robes made an aristocratic salute to the guests in all directions, and said: "Dear distinguished people, Star Auction House, I am Puxi, the chief auctioneer of Star Auction House, and I am responsible for presiding over today's auction..."
Afterwards, the auctioneer on the stage began to introduce the auction methods and rules in detail, so that many people who came to the auction for the first time could understand clearly.
Ruian also listened carefully, and found that the auction method was very simple, and it was roughly the same as what Wu Mu had introduced to Ruian before. When bidding for precious items and top-quality items, people in the box only need to put the auction sign into the communication box, and in the box
The number of the auction card will be displayed on the outside, and then the broadcast box will spread the voice of the auctioneer in the box to the entire audience, so that everyone can hear the voice of the auctioneer.
Ordinary guests in the bottom seats need to hold up the auction board so that the auctioneer on the stage can see the number on the auction board and then shout out the auction price.
However, when bidding for ordinary items, there is a different method. Since there are so many types of ordinary items, there are also many people who want to bid. If one bids are made one by one, and the highest bidder gets it, then the auction will not be successful for most of the day.
Complete an ordinary item. Therefore, the auction of ordinary items adopts an anonymous method. Those who want it each bid a price, and then all the prices are sorted from high to low. The one with the highest price gets it. It is very simple and fast.
After a while, the auctioneer finished the method and rules, stopped talking nonsense, and directly announced the start of the auction.
Soon, a young man stepped forward, placed the tray in his hand on the table in front of the auctioneer, and then scooped out the brocade cloth covering the tray, revealing the contents of the tray, a slightly shiny piece of iron. The young man immediately left the auction.
They walked to the stage, and soon scooped out a new tray from behind the auction stage, and lined up at the back of the queue. It was obvious that these boys and girls scooped out the auction items in cycles, with the men scooping out heavy items and the women scooping out light items.
Ruian stared at the iron block on the pallet. He couldn't tell what it was, but it was definitely something of low value, otherwise it wouldn't be auctioned at this level. But this iron block ranked first among ordinary items.
It's probably not something too expensive.
Then Ruian started to feel a little surprised. Star Auction didn't seem to have any protection for the items on the auction table. Aren't they afraid of people with malicious intentions coming to snatch them? But Ruian was quickly relieved. This is the City of Glory, not a small place.
, people with the strength of a high-level swordsman or a high-level magician, even a level 7 swordsman or a level 7 magician, may not dare to do evil things, otherwise they will die miserably.
"Now the first common item in the auction, high-grade refined iron, is refined by a high-level blacksmith. I believe that I don't need to introduce this item, everyone is very clear about it. The quantity of high-grade refined iron is 50 pieces, and each piece weighs 20 kilograms.
, the auction base price is 200 gold coins per piece, and the auction will begin now." The auctioneer's words sounded in time as the first item appeared. His voice was not loud, but under the influence of the amplification magic, everyone present was
All heard clearly.
Ruian's face was expressionless. He was not interested in this kind of material unless it was a very valuable material. Similarly, other people in the box were not interested either, and everyone was chatting casually.
"This kind of fine iron is useful for intermediate swordsmen, but it is of little use to high-level swordsmen. Moreover, it is troublesome to find someone to make it. It is better to just buy weapons directly."
"The reserve price is a bit low, but auctions usually set a relatively low reserve price, which can easily attract bids. If you want this fine iron, you need at least 500 gold coins."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the ordinary guests on the ground floor who wanted to bid began to handwrite quotations and handed them to the staff next to them. Suddenly the whole scene became a bit noisy. There was no movement in each box. This was not because the guests in the boxes did not like this.
If they want an item, they can put the auction card directly into the communication box and make their own bid. At this moment, the sound of the communication box did not ring throughout the audience, but was passed to the backstage staff to participate in the bidding.
After a while, the auctioneer on the stage scooped up a piece of paper from the backstage staff and began to read: "The auction result of the first ordinary item came out. The people who bought this item are: No. 2054, No. 1078
Person No. 689 bought two pieces..."
The auctioneer quickly read out a series of numbers of the winners, and then auctioned off the next item. Another girl held a tray and placed it on the table. According to the rules of the auction, you do not need to pay immediately, but settle the settlement when you leave.
.
"The second common item to be auctioned is sulfur gold..."
"The common items for auction below are century-old walnut wood..."
After a series of auction materials, Ruian finally found what he wanted. A small bottle was placed on the auction table. The auctioneer introduced: "What is being auctioned now is the best trauma medicine, which is refined by the most famous medical clinic in the City of Glory."
It can be used to treat various skin injuries. There are two hundred bottles in total. The auction base price of each bottle is 300 gold coins. The auction starts now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruian decided to buy it. He was often injured, and all the injuries he suffered were skin injuries, so this top-quality trauma medicine was very useful for Ruian. You know, Ruian usually uses ordinary injury medicine for injuries, even if
He went to the hospital known as the best in the City of Glory.
The museum only uses wound medicine that is slightly better than ordinary wound medicine. Under normal circumstances, top-quality trauma medicine is not sold out, and can only be purchased at such auctions. As for the effect of top-quality trauma medicine, this depends on it.
You will know that it is dozens of times more expensive than ordinary wound medicine.
"I want to buy this top-quality trauma medicine, but I don't know how many gold coins I have to bid for it?" Ruian didn't have any experience, so he asked immediately.
"Generally, you can buy it for 700 to 800 gold coins. To be safer, just buy 800 gold coins." The third prince Mo Fen, who has rich experience, immediately replied, and then asked, "Who else wants to buy it?
?”
In the end, everyone wanted it. This kind of medicine for treating injuries is a must-have for anyone who travels outside. Ruian even asked for two bottles.
"Okay, you don't need to auction them separately, I'll take them all here." The third prince Mo Fen then put the auction card on the communication box and said, "Eight hundred gold coins, ten bottles." (To be continued. If you
