"Room 23, it's him again!"
As the latest bidding information appeared, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the luxurious private room not far away.
At the beginning of the auction, two items in succession were purchased by guests in Room 23, which was indeed eye-catching.
However, in the room, Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ziwei next to him with a confused look on his face, and his hand that was just preparing to increase the price stopped in mid-air.
It turned out that the bidder just now was not him, but Ziwei who came with him. He directly increased the price by 10 million with lightning speed, making the flash circuit break through the 40 million mark.
As if she felt Zhang Xiaoman's gaze, Ziwei turned her head to look at him and said with a smile:
"Hehe, there's nothing I can do about it. When I was chasing the reapers last time, wasn't all the equipment on my body exposed? Although the flash circuit is not very effective, I just made do with it."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded. He was originally hesitant to buy it, but since Ziwei wanted it, he would not compete with the other party.
At the booth, auctioneer Leah inquired about the bids a few more times, but just when he shouted forty million for the second time, a customer made a request to come on stage and personally feel the aura of the dark spirit circuit.
This person is the one who just bid for 30 million. Anyone who participates in the auction can naturally request to go on stage to watch as long as they have a bid record.
Soon, the man walked up to the booth.
As expected, it was an interstellar mercenary. He was tall, and his whole body was wrapped in a brown robe. Only a pair of orange eyes were exposed, making it difficult to identify his specific race.
After the mercenary came to the stage, he made no other moves. Instead, under the protection of several ethereal guards, he quietly felt the dark spirit aura of the chip to see if it fit him.
Most of the time, even if it is the same dark spirit material, the aura exuded from it will have a certain degree of compatibility for each person.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the other party's actions and murmured in his heart.
"This guy seems to be your biggest enemy in this auction, Ziwei, if he bids again, how much do you think the highest price this flash circuit can fetch?"
In the room, Ziwei was drinking the blue-purple drink provided by the auction house, with a look of enjoyment on her face.
This is a drink that is popular throughout the league, called Cool Fei. Zhang Xiaoman can see it in almost every corner of the streets and alleys of Skull Planet.
"Gudu Gudu"
Ziwei took a long sip of Kufei leisurely, and then put it back on the table. Her expression was calm, and she didn't seem at all nervous that the other party would bid to snatch it from her.
"Haha, 40 million is already the highest price. If this is used and the bidding continues, then I will give it to him."
Immediately afterwards, she revealed her highest offer, which surprised Zhang Xiaoman.
"Forty million is the highest price?"
He has always felt that there is room for further improvement in this flash circuit. After all, even in the official store of the Dark Souls Association, this type of product is rarely seen.
Although the Dark Star Alliance spans an entire giant nebula, and the Dark Souls Association has countless treasures and materials, theoretically there should be a lot of such things in the official store.
But in fact this is not the case.
Dark spirit materials are not ordinary materials, especially materials above level 1. They are a scarce resource in themselves.
Although the Dark Star Alliance has a vast territory, there are also many Dark Souls within. These level 2 materials, especially flash circuits that have been stripped of their blackened layer, are very popular. As long as the price is not too outrageous, Basically, it was bought as soon as it was put on the shelves, and it couldn't be saved at all.
Therefore, in Zhang Xiaoman's mind, he felt that the price of this flash circuit should have a lot of room to rise, at least more than 100 million star coins. How could it be that Ziwei said that the price would be capped at 40 million.
But before he was left wondering for too long, Ziwei at the side had already given the answer.
"Scout-level drones are considered to be the lowest level of the Bell race. They are easy to hunt. However, the probability of flash circuits appearing is small and they are not easy to obtain."
"Furthermore, the flash skill itself has many limitations. Not only is the distance short, but the cooling time is also long. There is also a short preparation time when it is released. Basically, it can only be used once per battle."
"So, for capable mercenaries, instead of spending a lot of money to buy a flash circuit, it is better to directly buy a more advanced flash or void jump."
"Finally, to take a step back, Jiexing, have you forgotten that there is another thing that can replace it? With the existence of that thing, it is destined that the price of the flash circuit will not have a higher breakthrough."
"Replace it?"
Zhang Xiaoman was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized what he was doing.
"You mean Stardust?"
Ziwei nodded, and poured herself another cup of Cool Fei.
"Yes, with the existence of Stardust and Dream Master, it is destined that the prices of these level 2 materials will not be too outrageous."
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly understood.
I actually forgot about this incident at first.
That's right, according to what Ziwei said, as long as there is a dream master, you can directly consume stardust and extract the most complete and latest flash circuit from the dream. There is no need to spend a lot of money to buy it.
Flash circuit and stardust are both level 2 materials, and flash is also a real item that exists in this world.
Therefore, if you want to condense a flash circuit, you only need 1 stardust.
According to the official standard price for Stardust, it is 50 million star coins.
In other words, no matter how expensive the flash circuit is, it cannot exceed this value by much, which naturally confirms what Ziwei said just now.
Sure enough, the mercenary on the stage shook his head with regret after using dark spiritual power for a moment, and expressed his intention to give up the bidding like the auctioneer.
"Bell Scout-class UAV core, flash circuit! Forty million once! Twice! Three times! Deal!"
"Congratulations to the guest in room 23!"
Philly clapped his bandaged arms in congratulations.
Soon, the drone core was teleported to the room where Zhang Xiaoman was, and Ziwei pocketed it after paying the star coins.
"Hey, if I hadn't run out of good equipment recently, I wouldn't have wasted 40 million on buying this. Now I can only make do with it."
The woman drank cup after cup of Kool-Fee, looking as if her body ached, as if she wanted to get back the money she had spent in this way.
A total of about ten minutes have passed since the auction, most of which was spent on the mercenary going on stage to experience the flash circuit.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the list of remaining auction items. There were a total of 38 items in the auction this time. It seemed that it might not be over in a few hours.
But he also longed for it.
The two items that had just opened had already aroused a very strong interest in him, and thinking that there were many precious materials and equipment behind them made him look forward to it even more.
"The third auction item is a Raven-class battleship, destroyer class, equipped with 3 light-rail Dark Spirit cannons, a library acceleration module, a wormhole generator, and a light Dark Spirit shield worth 10 million star coins!"
Soon, the third auction item appeared, but because this time the item was special and too large, what appeared on the stand was only a reduced version of the projection.
As before, the battleship's various data were listed in detail next to the projection, allowing everyone to understand its basic information.
"After appraisal and repair by our Astral Traveler Auction House, this Raven-class battleship has a completeness of 98 and fully meets the Dark Spirit Star Alliance battleship sales standards! Please feel free to buy it!"
"The starting price is 30 million!"
As Feili shouted to start bidding, the mercenaries in the audience started bidding one after another.
This time is different from the previous two times. The people who buy this time are basically no longer mercenaries who come to participate alone, but a team of mercenaries who come in the form of a small team.
The space battleship produced by Dark Spirit Technology is itself a Dark Spirit weapon, possessing powerful combat power and cannot be underestimated.
For the mercenaries here, not everyone has the talent to be called a dark spirit person. Most of them are actually just ordinary people whose bodies have been strengthened.
Therefore, a powerful dark weapon equipment is crucial to them.
Among these dark spiritual weapons suitable for ordinary people, battleships are the best and most suitable existence.
Many mercenary teams came to participate precisely because of the warships in this auction.
Compared with those materials purchased by individuals alone, the warships that such teams participate in the bidding can be sold at a higher price, which has risen to 70 million in a short time.
"Seventy million, these mercenaries are really willing to spend money."
Zhang Xiaoman sighed, this price may be unaffordable for a single mercenary, but for the entire team, if everyone pools the money together, it can still be affordable.
"This Raven-class battleship is not bad. In terms of various performances, it is worth so much money. Moreover, it is fully equipped and can be used directly after buying it. There is no need to worry about anything else."
Ziwei commented on this auction item.
Although she doesn't know how to repair spaceships, she is also a sentry captain who has gone through many trials and tribulations, and she still has good eyesight.
"Judging from the completeness of its preservation, this warship is probably a product eliminated by a certain team. When they have a better warship, they can sell the previous one in exchange for some funds, and then make other investments."
"Those mercenaries who have newly purchased warships can also make good profits, especially pure combat ships like this, which are basically used to hunt Bell drones, so they can only fight those guys. It is necessary to assemble more than three dark energy cannons."
Zhang Xiaoman also listened with interest to Ziwei's analysis.
At the end of the chat between the two, the price of the Raven-class battleship on the booth had reached 100 million star coins, but it seemed that there were still two teams bidding.
"Damn it! Fire Hammer! If you keep robbing me, I won't take it anymore!"
Under the stage, a strong Lancodo man over two meters tall couldn't help but stood up and shouted at another Lancodo man in the other direction.
"If you don't want to, just shut up! We are bound to get this battleship!"
Not to be outdone, the two parties became more and more excited as they quarreled, and there was a faint intention of taking action.
"According to Article 12, Clause 7 of the Dark Spirit Star Alliance Public Order Regulations, loud noises and any form of fighting are prohibited in the auction venue. Otherwise, it will be regarded as violating the prohibition and will be arrested."
At this time, seven or eight small drones flew over the heads of the two teams of mercenaries, and the dazzling light shone directly on them, calming them down in an instant.
This is the official law enforcement drone of the Dark Star Alliance, not the handiwork of the auction house, and is used to maintain order in the auction house.
The shape of this kind of drone is not fixed. Different planets will appear in different styles. Zhang Xiaoman has heard that on some planets, this kind of law enforcement drone will be made into a human shape, just like Like real humans.
The dispute on the field stopped immediately after the intervention of the drone. Everyone was an old mercenary who had been on the Skull Planet for a long time. Naturally, they knew what they could not offend. The quarrel just now was probably just for venting. A moment of emotion.
Soon, the bidding continued, and due to the competition between the two teams, the price reached 130 million.
Finally, the strong Lancodo man who had made the provocation earlier calmly stopped raising the price, and another mercenary team won the Raven-class battleship for 130 million star coins.
"It's okay, it's not too hard to accept. I think this spaceship can be purchased for less than 150 million."
Ziwei commented on this bidding.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded.
He still believed in this woman. Since she said 150 million, the team must not lose money.
"The next auction item is the Spirit-cutting Flying Knife, a set of 12 handles. It is made of Level 2 material Soul Devouring Zen. It is extremely sharp. It is inlaid with a recall circuit and can be retrieved at any time. The effective range is five thousand meters. , starting price: three million!”
"Guest No. 118 bids three million star coins!"
"Guest No. 367 bids four million star coins!"
"Guest No. 1224 bids 4.5 million star coins!"
""
"Guest No. 927 bids seven million star coins!"
"Seven million star coins once!"
"Seven million star coins twice!"
"Seven million star coins three times!"
"make a deal!"
Soon, the auction returned to normal. One by one, the auction items were displayed and sold. Each item was at least a level 2 treasure, and the price was not low.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at these things and felt very itchy in his heart, especially those materials. He felt that he wanted every one of them.
However, he also knew that although some materials looked good, they would be of no use to him for a while, so he focused more on those dark spirit techniques.
Finally, when the auction came to an end, the ten copies of Stardust consigned by Zhang Xiaoman appeared in the center of the booth.
