"Snapped--"
A medium-sized crisp sound sounded.
The volume of the packed venue suddenly dropped, and one could clearly feel that the noise just now was subdued a lot, showing a strange silence.
A male cultivator wearing blue clothes came to the vacant booth.
Then all the lights in the venue suddenly focused there, and with the silence, it felt like all eyes were focused on it. In fact... it is true that after the venue quieted down, everyone's eyes naturally focused on the center of the "stage", waiting for the exhibits to be put on stage.
"Welcome all distinguished guests. This is Bai Xiao from the North District Middle Store. Next, I will host the bidding process for you."
"During the bidding period, please keep quiet, respond calmly, and do not cause trouble in any form. Your cooperation is also to create a stable bidding environment for yourself, and we will try our best to maintain a good order. If trouble occurs, it may lead to serious Those who violate the rules may be expelled from the venue and will not be allowed to enter any store under Dongli City. Therefore, please proceed with caution and bear the consequences at your own risk."
"...This round of bidding is fair and just. We are the third party for trading exhibits, and the charging standard has been agreed with the bidder. The winning bidder only needs to pay the final bid without any additional fees."
"But please bid carefully and quote according to your ability. If you bid successfully but cannot pay the full price, it will be regarded as a malicious bid. Violators must pay the full loss of the exhibits and pay 40% of the exhibit's base price to the store. We will also hold malicious bidders accountable and will not be eligible to enter the venue thereafter.”
…
The Central Store has a very high attitude. Apart from the sentence at the beginning, please be polite to the distinguished guests, there are various warnings and punishment regulations in the next paragraph. It is obvious that the North District Central Store strictly controls the bidding process and their attitude towards the bidding process. The attitude of those who maliciously disrupt the order.
Ningxia guessed that there were many unspoken rules that were not put on the table. It only depends on whether those people who have secret ideas dare to commit the previous round, so that the North District Zhong Store will have the opportunity to take action. Because just from these regulations that have been brought to the surface, it can be seen that the stores in the organizer are not fuel-efficient.
After all, if the bid is successful but cannot be purchased, not only will the auction fee be charged, but a fine will also be imposed based on 40% of the discount of the exhibit. In other words...if you can't buy this thing, you will be fined, which is nearly half of the amount on display. If you can't give it back, I'll give you something else to pay for it, and then in the end the exhibit won't be yours.
Although this is also a "blessing" for malicious bidders, the leader of the North District store that set this rule is also very powerful. Anyway, Ningxia, an outsider, was wary after hearing this, and secretly wondered whether the spiritual stones in his pocket were enough.
Li Chuan was a little amused when he saw Ningxia flipping through the storage bag without leaving a trace. How come this kid is so honest...
"Don't worry. Although it is clearly stated, the store is not a robber. Their original intention is to collect commissions from selling exhibits. The above regulations are to prevent colleagues from causing trouble or those who intend to gain nothing. If you have If the spirit stones are really not enough, you can offer to offset them in kind when moving the bid, and the store will reasonably evaluate the bid." Li Chuan is obviously very familiar with the rules here.
"Besides...if you don't have enough spiritual stones, I have quite a few here. Don't worry, since I've invited you here, I won't ask you to go back empty-handed." Li Chuan said grandly that if there is any problem, he will definitely solve it when the time comes. help.
Ningxia naturally thanked the elder for his kindness, but also said that the things he wanted to buy really couldn't spend so much. Besides, whether it can be photographed is another question.
While the two people were talking over there, the monk codenamed Bai Xiao had already completed the quotation of the bidding process, and a team of four people carried an exhibit up. Probably in order to create a sense of mystery, this exhibit is also covered with a fine mist cloth, and there is a bit of light shining through the shadows, making it quite mysterious.
"coming."
"I won't say any more nonsense. I think you guys are impatient to wait. So let's go directly to our first bidding exhibit. The bidder asked for a clear bid, and you can bid through the betting sign."
"If you have never participated in betting on exhibits, you can apply for temporary white-sign bidding, and you will get three chances in each round."
So that’s the case, no wonder everyone is as if they’ve been given a shot of blood during the bidding process. Regardless of their family background, they all go to see it. They wish they could see all the exhibits in two hours. It turns out that there is still this restriction if you bid without leaving a bid.
"It's actually two times less than the last time." Li Chuan was a little surprised, because last time it was five times in one round.
But it's enough. Li Chuan secretly thought that although it was very disadvantageous to follow the price, three times was enough for those with enough budget. At most, it was just a little more.
"This first piece is Exhibit No. 17 of Renshen. It is red in color and has a thin lin-like structure on the outside. If you brush it against the direction, the spiritual flow will reverse. There are gold filament-like crystals in the middle. The flesh is relatively thin. It is injected with at least six spiritual powers. As a reward, it has been tentatively identified as a red cage stone, the quality is above average, the public price has been announced, interested parties can bid through Wang Zhuzhuang."
The exhibits on the booth have already been revealed. They should be what they call mid-level red cage stones. The appearance characteristics are indeed what they said. However, she had never heard of it, nor had she seen anything similar in the southeastern border. It should be a spiritual material from the Middle Earth.
But Wang Zhuzhen? Is this it? Ning Xia looked at the bamboo raft that was spinning around with the betting lottery in hand.
As soon as she was good at it, the landscape-like setting suddenly changed.
The totem at the bottom further expanded, almost occupying the entire tabletop of the high-leg flower table. A scaled-down totem protruded from the bottom, and the entire totem slowly rose to half the height of the coffee table. The spiritual light was projected directly below, and the green bamboo raft underneath A bit of yellowish light and shadow was actually revealed. The dozens of betting lottery tickets that were slowly rotating inside also suddenly accelerated, faster and faster, until almost all that was left was an afterimage.
Then the bamboo raft in the middle shook violently.
"Swish, swish, swish -" the sound sounded like a lotus tube, the sound was a little abrupt, and it honestly startled her a little.
In the blink of an eye, a betting ticket popped out of the bamboo raft, straight up, and actually floated through the small totem above, right above the bamboo raft.
However, the bamboo raft that was supposed to be blank gradually showed the name Renshen No. 17, and then the price at the bottom was one hundred and eighty-eight thousand, nine hundred and seventy-two low-grade spiritual stones, which happened to match the exhibit above and below. This should be the so-called public price.
Ningxia didn't expect it to be used in such a way. Vibration sensors are already used in the world of cultivation.
"...Have we ever voted for this?" Ningxia asked doubtfully for a while. She remembered that this was not on their list.
And it's pretty expensive.
"That's the exhibit I sent." Li Chuan said. He raised his hand, and the betting lottery came out of the array and flew into his palm.
