He asked the person next to him: "Friend, why are the five chairs in the front different from ours?"
The man glanced at Wu Bei and said: "Those are the five people who spent the most money. They all spent more than 50,000 treasures today. The top one has spent 300,000."
Wu Bei's eyes widened and he thought he was really rich. If it were him, he would never spend 300,000 yuan as a reward, unless it was his wife.
After watching it for a while, he exited the live broadcast room and asked Xianer to search for the auction.
Soon, he found a website for auctioning elixirs, but the threshold for this website was relatively high. To participate in the auction, you had to pay a thousand treasures as a deposit. After purchasing, the thousand treasures would be returned; if there was no purchase, one thousand treasures would be paid.
Thousands of treasure coins will be confiscated.
Wu Bei mainly wanted to see how much the elixirs in this immortal world usually cost, so he happily paid a deposit of 1,000 and opened his full field of vision.
The surrounding scene changed. He was now in a large hall. There were vague figures around him, but he couldn't see clearly. Here, he could clearly see everything on the auction stage.
At this time, a woman with beautiful appearance and noble temperament stood on the auction stage. She smiled and said: "Dear distinguished guests, today's auction is about to begin. The auction is mainly about elixirs and some medicinal materials. Now, let's invite you.
The first lot."
Someone brought up a jade box. In the box was a pill the size of a walnut. There were two dragon-shaped brilliance coiled on the pill, which was as lifelike as a real dragon.
The woman said: "This is a Dragon Essence Pill, which is made from the essence of two real dragons and combined with a variety of precious medicinal materials. After taking this pill, you can gain the power of a dragon."
In the crowd, someone said: "The absorption rate of Dragon Essence Pill has always been low, right? After all, the human body cannot compare with the real dragon. This pill can absorb up to 12% after being taken. So although this pill is extremely effective,
, but for the vast majority of monks, it is very useless."
Some people also said: "That's because you are not qualified. If a human king with a strong physique takes it, he will be able to absorb more than half of the medicinal power, or even all of the medicinal power."
The person in front sneered: "Then are you the King of Humans or the Emperor of Humans?"
The latter stopped talking. There are very few human kings in this world, and it seems that the human king has not appeared for a long time.
The woman said: "What you said makes sense. This Dragon Essence Pill was refined by the ancient alchemists for the Human Emperor, so it is indeed the most suitable for the Human Emperor. Of course, there should be no Human King here, let alone no Emperor.
But even if it only absorbs one or two percent of the energy, it’s still a huge benefit, isn’t it?”
Then he announced: "The starting price of an Imperial Grade Dragon Essence Pill is one million treasure coins, and each time the price is increased, it will be no less than fifty thousand treasure coins."
Wu Bei couldn't help but feel moved, but one million treasures was indeed too expensive.
"One million." Someone immediately bid.
"One million and fifty thousand." The price increase was very decisive.
In this way, the price of the elixir skyrocketed, from one million to one and a half million.
Wu Bei did some calculations and found that after counting the more than one million he received from the Wei family, he probably still had 1.66 million treasures on him.
"For me, this Dragon Essence Pill is a hundred times more effective than others. I won't lose money if I buy it." He gritted his teeth and immediately quoted the price, "1.55 million."
1.55 million was already very high. The scene became quiet and no one bid again.
The woman smiled slightly: "Congratulations to this young man, I bought a Dragon Essence Pill. The transaction fee is 150,000 yuan, and the total treasure money is 1.65 million yuan."
Wu Bei felt a heartache. After spending all this money, he only had 10,000 yuan left.
He put the money into the money account, and then transferred it to the auctioneer for 1.65 million yuan. At the same time, a flash of light flashed, and the Dragon Essence Pill also appeared in front of Wu Bei.
Picking up the elixir, he felt that the elixir contained terrifying power. With his current strength, he could barely take it.
"What a powerful elixir. The level of this alchemist is definitely above mine." He admired the alchemist very much.
When the money was almost spent, he quit Xianwang.
As soon as he logged out, he received a message on his mobile phone: "Old classmate, have you come to the United States?"
When Wu Bei saw the person who sent the message, he felt very familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that this person was a classmate of his in junior high school.
When he was in junior high school, it was popular to study abroad, and a group of junior high school students went to the United States to study in high school. At that time, more than 30 people from his middle school alone went abroad.
Once people go abroad, they naturally lose contact. For example, with the girl named Huang Ran who contacted him, his impression of her has long been blurred. He only vaguely remembered that Huang Ran was quite beautiful.
He was very surprised, how did the other party know that he had come to the United States?
He then asked: "Huang Ran, how did you know I was in the United States?"
Huang Ran smiled and said: "This is a new function of the software. Once a friend enters a radius of 100 kilometers from me, I can get a push message."
The two were indeed good friends. Huang Ran took the initiative to add him half a year ago, and I don't know where she asked. But after adding him as a friend, she never spoke, and Wu Bei didn't take the initiative to contact her.
"So that's it. I am indeed in the United States."
Huang Ran: "It's great, I finally met an old classmate. We seem to be not far apart, so let me go find you."
Wu Bei said: "No, I'll go find you. Give me your address."
Seeing the address sent by Huang Ran, it was only more than 20 kilometers away from him, not far away. He set off immediately as a child, but it was difficult to visit his old classmates empty-handed, so he found two bags of tea and two bottles of wine from his storage ring, plus
Two baskets of fruit.
Tea is the top product of Yanlong, wine is also an old wine, and fruits are specialties of the Earthly Immortal Realm. It is also appropriate to use them as gifts.
He asked Situ Haotian to prepare a car. The driver was a small man in his twenties. He knew that Wu Bei had a distinguished status, so he was extremely respectful to him.
Wu Bei gave him the address, and the driver drove to Huang Ran's home.
While the car was driving, the driver said: "Sir, the security of the place you are going to is not very good. There are many African Americans and South Americans living there."
Wu Bei: "Is public security not good? Why?"
Driver: "Here in the United States, where there are more rich people, there are more taxes, so the local area can spend more money to maintain public security. In poor areas like this, most people hardly pay taxes, but have to receive financial subsidies, so
The local government has no money to maintain public security. When public security deteriorates, wealthy people move away, and it gradually falls into a vicious cycle."
Wu Bei: "This is not surprising in a country where capital is supreme."
As the car entered the residential area, the speed slowed down significantly, and the driver turned out to be a little nervous.
Through the car window, Wu Bei saw some people outside. They were walking on the street like zombies, with slow steps and dull eyes.
He frowned slightly: "Who are these people?"
Driver: "They are all drug addicts. Nowadays, the United States does not control drugs very much, so more and more people are taking drugs. In this area, at least one-third of the people are taking drugs."
The driver pointed to the front left: "That's a drug-selling supermarket over there. It's open 24 hours a day. The service staff inside will also help drug addicts inject drugs."
Wu Bei didn't understand: "There are so many drug addicts, what benefit can this approach bring to the country?"
