The auction started soon, and the noisy audience downstairs fell silent.
The special auction prepared for students, with prices within the range of several thousand gold soul coins, was not attractive to Jing Hongchen, his ancestors, and his grandson, but Huo Yuhao was quite interested.
Although it was Huo Yuhao's first time to participate in an auction in person, he didn't know much about what a normal auction would look like, but he also knew that the current bidding scene among students was really... shabby.
Almost all the students bid slowly based on the bottom line of fifty gold soul coins, and students from poor families had to carefully calculate every gold soul coin.
Students with rich and powerful families, such as the Hongchen brother and sister, are already sitting in the high-end seats and boxes upstairs to watch the show.
Huo Yuhao, the booth holder, was observing the field to see if there was anything worth picking up.
"Deal! Congratulations to student No. 114 for bidding on the third-level milk bottle for 3,600 gold soul coins!"
In the ordinary seats on the first floor, a student looked like he wanted to cry.
Three thousand six hundred and sixty-six dollars to buy a third-grade milk bottle. He was caught up in the consumerism of competing and shouting at auctions, and the premium was a bit too much.
Well, for example, according to statistics around us, late at night is a time when impulse spending is high.
Huo Yuhao's face temporarily showed a complicated expression of not knowing what to say.
If I remember correctly, in the original work, in the first Soul Fighting Competition, when the Shrek team went to the auction to collectively purchase soul tools, they found a level 3 soul guide made by a level 6 soul engineer that could paralyze the Soul King for one second. The ray soul guide is only 2,500...
At that time, the original work also made a vulgar joke related to breast milk, which is considered a traditional entertainment.
The false thimble was identified as a burnt coin for the rich.
The auctioneer lady at the scene looked even more radiant under the gentle light after successfully selling the lot to the wrongdoer.
"The next auction item is a friendly benefit prepared for all students! Thank you to the imperial royal family for their sponsorship!"
Upon hearing the name of the royal family, the students' faces showed expressions of interest.
Presumably, the royal family would not use ordinary goods to lose face in front of this group of students who are responsible for the future of the empire.
A medicine box about the length of an arm was brought up for display, and the students saw the details of the auction through the public display.
(The technology tree on the Soul Guidance Display screen will be displayed as transportation means or carriage, and the overall technological progress of Tangjia Continent 2 will be written down wherever I think of it)
"This medicine is called Anshen Ninghun Ju. After taking it, one can be highly concentrated for about two quarters of an hour. The side effect is that it is difficult to concentrate for about three days after the effect of the medicine ends. It is generally used for soul master level qualifications. In the second half of the assessment, when the examinee is unable to support his energy, take it and make a last-ditch effort in the next two quarters of an hour!"
"Although the price of this product is not high, it is rare in existence and there is currently no effective method of artificial cultivation."
"At the same time, I would like to remind all students that based on past experience, there is a certain limit to the effect of this object on condensing and overdrafting mental power. It is recommended to be used in the Soul Master Qualification Examination below level six."
After this introduction, the students couldn't help but feel excited in their eyes.
Although this thing will overdraw your mental energy, the sequelae are not permanent and can be eliminated in three days.
Compared with this little sequelae, the temptation of being able to get two quarters of an hour's chicken blood state during the Soul Master Qualification Examination when the mental strength is exhausted is too great.
This can almost be said to be a resurrection coin!
The Soul Master Level Qualification Examination is a lifelong examination. Once you pass it, you will benefit for a lifetime. There will be no regular qualification reviews. No matter how much luck is involved, as long as you can pass the written examination and practical subjects, you can become a soul of the corresponding level officially recognized by the empire. tutor.
Because it is not a common herb that can be produced stably, most students, including Huo Yuhao, have heard of this herb for the first time.
"Okay, it seems that everyone can't wait to take it home. The item in this auction is the Soothing Soul Condensing Chrysanthemum. The quantity is ten plants, and the starting price is four thousand gold soul coins!"
The price of four thousand gold soul coins scared off many students who were ready to take action.
Four hundred gold soul coins per plant. If you don’t pass the Soul Master Level Qualification Examination after eating this, you will really lose your blood.
But for Huo Yuhao, this appetizer was within his tolerance, and Xiao Hongchen's "friendly bribe" of 10,000 gold soul coins should be enough.
Seeing Huo Yuhao looking at the quotation screen seriously, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but ask, "Do you still need this thing?"
From Xiao Hongchen's point of view, based on Huo Yuhao's performance in passing the Level 2 Soul Master Qualification Examination with full marks in four months, as long as more time is given to the exams before Level 6, he should be able to pass it as smoothly as chopping melons and vegetables.
Huo Yuhao didn't look at him, secretly calculating the price in his heart, and replied: "I want to give it away!"
"By the way, Dean, there shouldn't be much of this Anshen Ninghun Chrysanthemum left in the world, right?"
Jing Hongchen looked like you had finally asked the right person.
"The auction house didn't lie to you. In previous years, the annual supply of this thing was about fifteen. But after all, it only has a significant mental boosting effect in the examination of up to five-level soul masters. High-level soul masters can't use it. Low-level ones can't use it." I’m reluctant to buy them, most of them are for juniors like you to take exams.”
"If I take out ten of them this time, I won't be disgraced to the royal family."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly: "Then I'll take the photo."
Things that are valuable but not marketable are the most suitable gifts.
For example, there is a certain librarian Xuan Zihui who is stuck at the fourth level soul master and has been secretly reading.
Huo Yuhao had borrowed his rare metal for practice before, but he accidentally delayed it until now and still hasn't paid back the money.
Of course it's okay to just repay the money, but it's even more solemn to repay the gift with this kind of medicinal herb that has a price but no market and just meets Xuan Zihui's needs.
There was also Xu Rong, the leader of the second soul mentor group who had accepted him and introduced him to Yu Yu.
Of course the division commander himself doesn't need this thing, but there might be a junior at home who needs it.
Even if it is really useless, Xu Rong will only be happy to receive his kindness.
You need to manage your own connections. He is a top military officer in the Sun and Moon Empire. You may need this friendship in the future.
For example, if you want to be Xu Yunhan's personal empress, go to the palace with swords and shoes without being praised or worshiped, and be disrespectful to the Queen Mother in the harem, how can you not have the support of the army?
Xu Rong may have helped Huo Yuhao casually without expecting anything in return, but Huo Yuhao couldn't take other people's help for granted.
Oh yes, maybe Teacher Yu needs this thing at home too...
After the students in the audience raised their bids to 5,200 gold soul coins, the last few students who were still bidding looked at each other in hesitation, and the auctioneer had already begun the first hammer down.
Huo Yuhao knew that it was time to perform on his own.
"Five thousand five hundred gold soul coins."
Seeing that the quotation came from the box upstairs, several students who were still hesitating whether to spend money to ensure the safety of the exam completely gave up their thoughts on bidding.
The group of people in the box upstairs were always asking for 100,000 gold soul coins to increase their prices. They didn't even have a fraction of this amount, and they were bidding nonsense.
The auctioneer dropped his hammer and announced that the distinguished guest in the box where Huo Yuhao was sitting had won the auction.
Huo Yuhao, who acted like a fake but powerful person, successfully selected the gifts. The "student special session" ended quickly. The auctioneer was replaced by someone with more qualifications. Hongchen's ancestors and grandson also cheered up and dealt with it seriously.
"Thank you all distinguished guests for coming. Next, let us announce the first heavyweight auction item tonight, the only seven-level soul guide in the entire continent, the Bingmingtong Snow Crown!"
When the curtain on the crystal silver-white crown was lifted, Meng Hongchen's eyes suddenly became sparkling.
"Grandpa, I want this!"
