89 A Huge Sum Of Money
Lu Yuan put on an innocent face, "why are you so surprised? The items I put up for auction before were pretty good, so I was given a VIP spot. "
The first time Lu Yuan went to auction, he had not obtained a VIP slot. This slot was only given to him when he went to auction the water arrow gene for the second time.
It was also the first time he had heard about the existence of the VIP Slots.
"Hiss ..."
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, the few of them widened their eyes.
Liu Xi asked strangely,"
"Brother Lu Yuan ... What did you put up for auction? It's actually so valuable?"
The others were also curious.
Lu Yuan smiled. There was nothing to hide. He said,
"It's just an elite-grade transcendent gene and a few pieces of elite-grade equipment."
The atmosphere fell silent. Zhuo Ming's mouth twitched a few times, and his face twisted strangely. He looked like he wanted to cry and was a little bitter.
"...Elite-grade transcendent gene? A few pieces of elite-grade equipment? And just?"
Damn it, he'd gotten it again!
Everyone's thoughts were in unison at this moment.
Liu Xi opened his mouth and smiled bitterly.
"Brother Lu Yuan, I already felt that you were not an ordinary person back then. At that time, when we separated, I felt that you would give me a surprise when we met again. I didn't expect you to give me such a shock. "
"Oh?" Lu Yuan laughed. "Supervisor Liu, you're exaggerating."
"It's not an exaggeration at all. "
Liu Xi had a serious look on his face. Then, he smiled and said, "Since you already have a private room, then I won't invite you."
The few of them chatted and soon the line was in front of them.
The door was guarded by constructs. The light from the constructs swept through their Geno Battle Rune, and they could find the crystals in the Battle Rune space.
As the composition represented the land of origin itself, no one was worried about exposing their privacy.
As Lu Yuan, Ge Lin, and the others were the sellers, they didn't even need to verify the number of crystals they had and went in directly.
After entering the gate, they passed through a long passage and came to an extremely empty space.
This space was a few kilometers wide, and in the center was a black platform, which should be the auction stage.
And all around him were seats.
There seemed to be more than 100000 of them.
They were on the first floor, and there were rows of private rooms on the upper floor.
They could go up the stairs from the two sides of the passage.
The seats below were already filled with many people, and the noise of discussion reverberated throughout the auction house.
"Let's go upstairs. Where's your room?" He asked.
Liu Xi looked at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan took out a black card and said, "302."
When Liu Xi saw this, he smiled and said, "what a coincidence. I'm in Room 301. I'm just next to you. Let's go over together. It's on the third floor."
The group went upstairs and found a private room.
Lu Yuan, green, and the rest entered Room 302, while Liu Xi led his team into Room 301.
The side of the private room facing the auction stage was made of transparent glass, allowing one to see the seats below and the auction stage in the center. It had a very good view.
The private room was about 40 to 50 square meters in size, and in the middle was a row of soft-looking brown sofas.
There was also a refrigerator on the side, and there were snacks and fruits on the table.
"Compared to the conditions below, this is like heaven and earth! It's too luxurious!"
Zhuo Ming looked around in excitement.
He laughed and said, "I'm afraid even sister Xiangxiang and brother Cao Yan have never been in the private room, right? I'm going to show off to them when we get out of here! I, Zhuo Ming, actually entered the auction house's private room!"
Lu Yuan looked at Zhuo Ming's excited expression and was speechless. He ignored him.
The others were also very excited, only Grimm was slightly calmer.
However, from the way he kept touching the sofa, she could tell that he was quite excited.
"Take a seat. The auction should be starting soon, right?"
They sat down on the couches and waited for the auction to begin.
After another half an hour or so, more and more people were sitting in the seats below. At this moment, a construct slowly rose from below the high platform and stood on it.
Seeing the construct appear, Grimm and the others were shocked.
"It's starting!"
When Lu Yuan heard this, he also narrowed his eyes and looked curiously at the construct on the high platform.
This was Lu Yuan's first time attending an auction.
The mechanical voice of the construct sounded, and it went straight to the main topic.
"The auction will now begin. We will now start auctioning the first item."
As the construct's voice fell, a virtual projection appeared in the air.
It was a black heavy sword. The heavy sword spun in the air, allowing everyone to see the details.
In front of the heavy sword, there was a virtual screen with information about the heavy sword.
[Iron Stone Sword]
[Grade: Elite trainee equipment (60% degree of refinement)]
[Main upgrade: Constitution defense]
[Secondary upgrade: Power burst]
The construct's voice sounded again. "The first item has a starting price of 6000 crystals. Each bid must be increased by at least 200 crystals. The bidding starts now."
As the construct's voice fell, a light screen suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was stunned. He looked at the screen and found that it was a page for bidding.
The current price was displayed on it, as well as the price input box.
Lu Yuan took a look at his surroundings and discovered that there was also a light screen in front of Grimm and the others.
Seeing Lu Yuan's confusion, green smiled."
"Lu Yuan, this is your first time participating in an auction. Every time you bid, there will be a bidding screen. If you want to bid, just write your price on it."
As soon as Grimm's voice fell, a mechanical voice sounded,"
"Number A001229 bids 6200 crystals."
"Look, someone has made a bid. After you win the bid, you can go and collect your item after the auction ends."
"I see." Lu Yuan nodded. "I see."
He finally understood the rules of the auction.
After some people bid, the number of people bidding increased.
"Number A234766 bids 6400 crystals."
"Number A100023 bids 7000 crystals."
"..."
Soon, the price reached 8000 crystals, and the number of people bidding started to decrease.
In the end, someone offered 8400 crystals, and no one else competed anymore.
After the construct counted down, it said,"
"The auction is successful. Congratulations to number A038234."
In the private room, a burly man who was originally also using a heavy sword looked at the disappearing projection of the iron stone heavy sword with a hint of envy in his eyes.
"It's a pity that I don't have that many spiritual crystals. Otherwise, I would have fought for it. "
The weapon he was using was still of normal grade. An elite grade weapon was too great of an upgrade for him.
The auction continued.
As a starter city, the number of natural treasures that could be obtained in the Sandstone City Region was actually very limited.
Most of the items up for auction were elite geno armors.
The next few dozen items were all geno weapons.
The price was about the same as the first one, at most a little higher.
Lu Yuan even saw the elite-grade spear that he put up for auction. The starting price was 7000 crystals, and it was finally sold for 9000 crystals.
It could only be said to be so-so.
Lu Yuan was not interested in these auction items.
Now that he had broken through to rank 1, he was about to leave sandstone city and go to a higher-ranked area. By then, with his strength, it would not be difficult for him to obtain an elite-grade equipment.
If he bought a geno weapon here, he'd have to replace it soon. It was a waste of crystals.
After an elite geno weapon was sold, an ice-blue rune appeared in the air.
Looking at this projection, Lu Yuan was stunned.
He had never seen this before.
In the air, the information about the rune appeared.
[Ice blade curse]
[Grade: elite rank zero talisman (90% refinement)]
"Effect: input spiritual energy and you can release the ice blade combat technique once. The power is as strong as an elite apprentice warrior (90% degree of refinement)"
Lu Yuan was a little stunned.
"A single-use combat skill incantation?"
Lu Yuan didn't expect there to be such a thing. It had a similar effect to the water arrow on his torrent ring.
However, the water arrow could only be used once a day, while this one could only be used once.
The power of the ice blade was not weak. For those who were not strong enough, it was equivalent to a pretty good trump card.
Lu Yuan looked at Ge Lin and the others at the side.
After seeing the talisman, their eyes flickered with desire.
"I'll buy an ice blade charm to kill a stronger elite beast," Zhuo Ming said. "If I'm lucky, the beast will drop a geno weapon and a transcendent gene. I might make a fortune."
"That's right. Even if you don't use it to hunt fierce beasts, it's equivalent to having an extra life in your hands. "
Grimm's eyes flickered, his face full of desire.
In the end, he still shook his head. "Forget it. The price of this item will definitely not be low. We can forget about it."
Lu Yuan didn't feel anything. If it was a level one talisman, he might consider buying it.
However, the trainee level was too weak.
Just like what Grimm had said, the starting price of the ice blade talisman was 5000 crystals, and the final bid price was 10000 crystals.
If this thing was used well, it would not be a problem to kill an elite ferocious beast with an 80% or even 90% tempering.
As long as they were lucky enough, they would definitely make a profit.
This was equivalent to an investment.
Lu Yuan was not surprised by the price.
After that, they sold geno weapons, high-level herbs, ores, and materials from beasts.
Lu Yuan's eight elite genes had all been sold. Even the two chieftain-grade materials had been sold.
The highest price was the skin of the ancient sea crocodile leader, which was sold for 29500 crystals.
After all, this was a material used to create a chieftain-level weapon, so it was only natural that it was a little more expensive.
In total, they were sold for 175000 crystals.
Even for Lu Yuan, this was a huge sum of money.
Of course, what Lu Yuan looked forward to the most was still the water arrow gene.
