The unknown dome is very large, two meters high and one meter six wide. The eggshell looks crystal clear, and you can tell at a glance that it has high defense.
Four big men with their upper bodies naked, struggled to carry the dome in. Their stumbling steps showed that the weight of the dome was indeed not light.
"Is it a dragon egg?" Wu Ming glanced at the dome below and turned around to ask.
Lucy closed her eyes and felt it for a while, sniffing her nose slightly, and then said after a moment: "There is a bit of dragon aura, but this aura is very light. It may be the blood of a lower dragon or a sub-dragon."
Dragon types such as Shadow Dragon, Poison Dragon, Wind Dragon, and Sea Dragon can all be regarded as lower dragons.
The sub-dragons are even lower level. Generally, sub-dragons are hybrids of giant dragons and other large creatures. Most of them have low intelligence, just like unevolved beasts.
Fundamentally, the dragon clan does not recognize the existence of sub-dragons, but the lower dragons are barely recognized, but their status is not high, just like the poor relatives of the wealthy family, they are still somewhat looked down upon.
"The unknown dome has a base price of 100,000 gold coins. Bidding starts now."
As the golden bell rang, bidders raised their placards one after another.
Wu Ming was sitting in the box on the second floor. The old god looked outside and found that everyone's bidding was very rational. The price fluctuation did not exceed 5,000 gold coins each time, and there were only a dozen or so competitors.
However, there is no way to do this. The dragon aura of this dragon egg is very weak, and it is still unknown whether the dragon can be hatched.
If it is a dragon egg from a high-ranking dragon such as a red dragon, bronze dragon, black dragon, or crystal dragon, the price of a successful transaction is likely to be sky-high.
But the word "unknown" means that even the auction house doesn't know the origin of this giant egg, making it even more difficult to raise the price.
"380,000 for the first time, 380,000 for the second time, 380,000 for the transaction..."
After three final prices, the giant egg, which was suspected to be a dragon egg, was bought by an old mage.
The old master didn't look very good. I don't know whether he thought the price was too high or he was born with facial paralysis and couldn't see a smile on his face.
The first item was photographed, and then the second item appeared.
This is a bunch of golden bells, which look like a bell-type bracelet and sparkle under the light.
The auctioneer began to introduce the bell bracelet. This bell is a magical weapon worn by women. When shaken, it can emit magical sounds that confuse the mind.
The starting price is not high. Compared with magic weapons that can easily cost hundreds of thousands, the starting price of the Golden Bell is only 120,000 gold coins. There was fierce competition in the early stage.
In the later stage, the bell was a little weak, and the bidders became hesitant. The final transaction price failed to break through the 500,000 mark, and was stuck at 480,000 gold coins.
There is no way around this. At the level of 500,000 gold coins, it is very difficult to break through without legendary magic weapons.
Everyone who comes to participate in the auction is a fine person. Compared with the outside world, the price here may be about 20% higher, but it is not ridiculously high.
Situations like this kind of confrontation, vicious competition, and sudden price increases are rare in auction houses.
Unless you are the protagonist, who is born with a sarcastic face and can mock people invisibly.
Otherwise, few people will compete maliciously and speculate on auction items to several times the real price just for the sake of their own will. After all, people who do that are a sign of immaturity. In reality, no one will think you are awesome.
, Silly Cha is almost the same.
"Dear guests, the warm-up activities in the early stage are over, and we are now entering the second stage."
Eighteen auction items were auctioned in a row, the atmosphere at the scene became heated, and the auctioneer began to show his seriousness.
Timothy Auction House can become the world's largest, but it cannot rely solely on these ordinary auction items.
Whether it was Wu Ming, the other guests on the second floor, or the real VIPs on the third floor, few people spoke in this kind of early bidding.
It's not that everyone is watching the excitement, but these things are not enough to move people, or the quality is too low.
"Please give me the next auction item, a promotion crystal!"
Raising his hand to suppress the noise below, the auctioneer smiled and spoke, immediately pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
In the private room on the second floor, Wu Ming's eyes lit up slightly. This kind of auction was interesting, and he finally got some good things out.
"Promotion crystals, as the name suggests, are secret treasures that can advance people to professional levels. According to the corresponding levels, promotion crystals are divided into four levels, which are the primary promotion crystals corresponding to the first rank, the intermediate promotion crystals corresponding to the second rank, and the intermediate promotion crystals corresponding to the third rank.
The transferred high-level promotion crystal, and the top-level promotion crystal corresponding to the level of gods.
The one I am showing you now is an intermediate promotion crystal that can help second-level professionals advance to a higher level. The starting price is 5 million gold coins, and each increase must not be less than 100,000. The bidding begins now."
As soon as the promotion crystal appeared, everyone was gearing up, and there were many people who showed their determination to win.
You must know that although the human race does not have qualifications and other classifications like the dragons, not everyone can increase their professional level without limit.
Generally speaking, the thresholds for promotion from level one to level two, promotion from level two to level three, and promotion to level 21 from level three to a divine creature are all well-known thresholds.
In addition, some people will encounter their own bottle top limitations due to insufficient potential when others can improve normally.
For example, Wu Ming's father, Viscount Charlotte, is a level 5 warrior and has been stuck in this position for many years.
Under normal circumstances, if there is no special opportunity for Viscount Charlotte in his life, level 5 warrior will be his peak, and there is no need to think about the second level.
However, if there are elementary promotion crystals, Viscount Charlotte can completely break through to warrior level 6. This is the difference between having resources and lacking resources.
There are many people like Viscount Charlotte who are stuck in the first turn, and even more are stuck in the second turn.
The intermediate promotion crystals in front of us, whether they are used by important family members who are stuck in the second level, or reserved for younger disciples with greater potential, are a good way to increase the family heritage.
Especially those who are professional level 14, are about to hit the peak of level 15 second level, and are planning to achieve third level hero level. A gap in professional level will probably take several years to make up, and one step ahead will mean being one generation ahead of the same age.
This is how the gap widens unconsciously.
"Five and a half million."
"Six million!"
"Seven million."
As soon as the promotion crystal appeared, many wealthy businessmen and poor businessmen with only money began to join the bidding process.
Within a minute, more than thirty quotations were heard on the second and third floors. Many people who had just quoted before were overtaken by others in less than a second, and the prices continued to rise.
Soon, the starting price of five million gold coins was raised to eight million. This astronomical figure not only did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm, but also caused more people to join in.
In the private room on the second floor, Wu Ming had been watching with cold eyes and never quoted a price.
He didn't give up, but he knew the price in front of him, and it wouldn't be the final price without him following the quotation.
As a person who is determined to win, it is necessary to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. The people who are making noise now are actually just small fishes that have jumped out. The real predators will not rush so early.
"Twelve million, is there anyone who offers a higher price?"
Ten minutes later, the number of bidders gradually decreased, and many people gave up in frustration.
The auctioneer looked around the audience, held the golden hammer high in his hand, and struck it hard: "Twelve million for the first time..."
"Fifteen million!" This was not Wu Ming's quote, but from a box on the third floor.
Wu Ming raised his head slightly, glanced at the place where the voice came from, and said calmly: "Twenty million."
What is money? For ordinary people, it is the foundation of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the foundation of a virtuous wife and filial son.
But for Wu Ming, money has no meaning at all. Compared with things that can enhance strength, money is just a passing cloud.
Obviously, he is not the only one who has this idea. Those business families that have been prosperous for thousands of years also have this superior vision.
The quotation of 20 million gold coins had just appeared, and within three seconds, a follow-up price of 22 million gold coins came from the box on the third floor.
Before Wu Ming made another offer, someone on the second floor spoke up and pushed the offer to 25 million.
A promotion crystal for second-level professionals costs 25 million gold coins. Whether it is high or low depends on the opinion of different people.
On the first floor below, many people were exclaiming, as if they had heard incredible numbers.
But in the eyes of the truly wealthy, more than 20 million yuan for a promotion is more cost-effective than buying and selling, because they are not short of money.
These people are not short of money, so Wu Ming is short of money? The answer is of course no.
Like these people, Wu Ming also believes that this is a good deal compared to buying and selling. Problems that can be solved with money are not big problems. He just happened to make a windfall.
"30 million..." Wu Ming spoke slowly, with a calm and critical tone, showing that he was determined to win.
At this time, the bitter people on the first floor have turned into soy sauce gangsters. They can only use exclamation, envy, and disbelief to highlight the greatness of the second and third floors.
To put it in immodest terms, if you are showing off, you need someone to accompany you. Relaxation is the way to go.
Listening to the exclamations and whispers of the people below, Wu Ming finally understood why so many people like to be heroes, because it feels really good.
"30 million for the first time, 30 million for the second time..."
"35 million!"
After setting the price twice, the price was revised again before the auctioneer dropped the hammer.
Wu Ming touched the ring on his hand, glanced in the direction of the third floor, and said again: "40 million."
Directly increasing the price by five million, the courage is obvious.
In the private room on the third floor, the person who quoted 35 million gold coins was silent for a long time and did not speak again.
The people who can sit on the third floor here are basically representatives of big families. Although it is not impossible to get tens of millions of gold coins, you have to consider the gains and losses when the matter comes.
For these business families, the opportunity to exchange tens of millions of gold coins for family children and directly advance to the first level is a risky investment.
On the contrary, Wu Ming is not burdened by his family, and everything is for himself. Instead, he will not have such hesitation, let alone other people's concerns.
With many concerns, the people who made the previous bids all felt that they would probably face a tough battle if they bid again.
After hesitating for a long time, the bidders on the third floor were the first to withdraw, and soon the bidders on the second floor stopped talking. The offer of 40 million finally made these business families consider whether it was worth it.
"40 million for the first time, 40 million for the second time, 40 million for the transaction!"
The entire auction house was quiet during the first two pricing decisions, but it wasn't until the final hammer fell that discussions broke out.
Many people are speculating on who Wu Ming is and what his origins are.
A member of the royal family of a certain country, the heir of a business tycoon, a representative of a major guild, or a descendant of a certain god.
There are various theories. After hearing these discussions, even the bunny girl in the room looked at him with confused eyes, and the look of letting him pick and choose was very seductive.
"Sir, your promotion crystal." The bidding was successful, and soon an insider sent the promotion crystal over.
Wu Ming paid the bill with the golden ticket from the Temple of Wealth. After taking the thing in his hand, he got an instruction manual that included how to use the promotion crystal.
Bite your finger and drip blood on the crystal. The way to use such a buggy experience ball is to drip blood.
Sure enough, times have changed, and the gameplay must also change.
He didn't believe that in ancient times, those rich players who smashed experience balls to upgrade were all gaining experience by dripping blood. If this was true, there would be no need to open a game company. How could the wayward rich players tolerate such pranks?
.
"Didi: An influx of special energy has been detected, and special law fluctuations have been detected."
"Didi: Under unknown influence, career level +1."
Goldfinger has no intelligence, it just records everything rigidly and feeds the recorded information back to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming sat on the sofa, looking at the experience ball that had turned into stone, with a little smile in his eyes.
It’s worth it, it’s so worth it, 40 million gold coins are not wasted.
He was already at comprehensive level 14 before. If he wanted to be promoted to the second-level peak of level 15, the experience required was already astronomical.
Unless you find a treasure leveling place like the ruins of the Fallen Kingdom, which is rich in experience and has no dangers, after reaching this level, it will be impossible to advance to a level within three to five months.
This is not because Wu Ming's upgrade speed is not fast. He has daily tasks to complete, and he can form a team to kill monsters to gain experience. He can upgrade his level several times faster than the normal native geniuses.
However, Goldfinger is not invincible. Summarizing the level classification based on experience gives him a direct and obvious goal, but it cannot withstand the doubling of experience requirements as the level increases.
A normal native genius is almost the same as the immortal martial arts world, and may also have an epiphany and upgrade.
After experience sums up everything, Wu Ming's only way to upgrade is to gain experience to improve his level. As the saying goes, every gain must have a loss, and there is no better choice than this.
"My current overall level is 15, which is already the peak of the second rank. Next, I will hit the third rank hero level. Right now, the experience required for upgrading is hundreds of thousands, and the southern province of the Holy Light Empire has already started the undead invasion.
A big event. To me, the nearly endless skeleton soldiers who were resurrected under the undead disaster are a holy land for leveling up!"
Playing with the promotion crystal that turned into a stone ball in his hand, Wu Ming thought to himself: "It seems that when the auction house is over, I should go back and take a look."
