As time passed little by little, no one in the audience opened a bid, and Concubine Li was anxious and small beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Hey!" Concubine Li sighed secretly, and just as she was about to speak to end the auction of the second lot, a faint voice sounded.
"One thousand taels."
Concubine Li heard the sound and looked over, only to see a handsome young man looking at her with burning eyes.
"One thousand two times!" Concubine Li quickly raised her finger and pointed at the boy, with a beautiful smile on her face.
"One thousand two times!" Concubine Li paused and immediately shouted.
"One thousand two or three times, the deal is done." Concubine Li's raised hand quickly fell down, and the auction was completed.
"Let us congratulate this gentleman for obtaining the treasure, thank you." Concubine Li bowed slightly to the young man and said with a smile.
The other people participating in the auction were naturally not jealous. Looking at the appearance of the auctioneer, everyone thought that he was pitiful for Concubine Li, or that Brother Zhu was obsessed with Concubine Li's beauty. In order not to embarrass Concubine Li, he paid a lot of money to buy this useless thing.
of stones.
Of course it was Daolin who took the photo of the black boulder at the critical moment. He was not doing it for Concubine Li as others thought, but entirely for this stone.
As the auction continued, Concubine Li's eyes always lingered on Daolin intentionally or unintentionally.
Daolin naturally smiled back. After all, Concubine Li is considered a beauty. If you have a good relationship with her, you will naturally be taken care of at the auction.
For example, you accidentally didn't see someone else raising their hand, or you deliberately helped to delay the time, or you accidentally spoke too quickly, and the three calls ended instantly, etc.
However, Concubine Li's kindness has not been appreciated by Daolin, because as of the end of the competition for the fifth lot, Daolin has never raised his hand again.
"Now we have the sixth item to be auctioned. It is a high-strength forged short knife. It was purchased from outside the mainland by our auction house. It is an unowned item. You can buy it with confidence." Concubine Li clapped her hands, and there was a polite person.
The lady came up holding a red silk tray.
Hearing that it was a short sword, Daolin's lazy figure in the distance immediately sat up, and this action fell in the eyes of Concubine Li very cleverly.
"This item is extremely sharp, blowing off hair and cutting iron is like mud. Friends who like short knives can actively participate. The base price is five thousand taels, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred taels. Let's start now." After speaking, Concubine Li raised her slender hand.
.
"Five thousand one hundred taels!" Someone directly quoted from the back row of the audience.
"I like this dagger. I'll pay five thousand two hundred taels."
"Is your love worth one hundred taels? I'll offer you five thousand five hundred taels!" The person who made the offer shouted disdainfully.
"Hmph, don't get too proud, I'll offer you five thousand eight hundred taels." The two bidders began to compete with each other.
Dorian frowned and looked at the dagger on the stage. If he was interested in any other auction item besides the black boulder, it would be this dagger.
The introduction of this knife is that the body is dark purple in color, the blade is about the length of the forearm, it can be swung well, and the blade is strong and has a sharp edge, making it a good weapon.
"How's it going? Are you interested?" Qingjiu asked, looking at Dolin who was in a daze.
"To be honest, I quite like this knife. When paired with my kitchen knife, the combat effectiveness of both hands will definitely double." Dolin nodded and said.
"Well, you can ask me about the double swords and I can teach you." Kong Xuan came over and whispered.
Daolin's eyes sparkled when he heard this. Yes, Kong Xing knew how to use double swords. If he decided to use double swords, he could let Kong Xing teach him and get a cheap master.
"Okay, I'll take pictures as much as possible." Dolin whispered.
As they were talking, the price of the sixth lot had risen to 7,800 taels. For Daolin, this price was no longer cheap.
"Eight thousand taels!" The first bidder finally gave his highest price after thinking for a long time. Although he liked the dagger very much, the price exceeded the budget and would affect the bidding of other lots.
"What happened? You ran out of money so soon?" The second person who had been bargaining with him now showed a sarcastic smile.
"Humph, if you have the money, you can bid." The first bidder sneered. He was the one bidding now. If the other party could only talk fast, he would naturally not care.
"I'll offer you eight thousand one hundred taels." The second man slowly raised his arm disdainfully.
Concubine Li pointed her raised finger to the second person at the right moment, and at the same time a sweet voice sounded.
"Eight thousand one hundred and two times. If there are still friends who like it, you can continue to increase the price."
There was a moment of silence.
"Eight thousand one hundred taels for the second time." Concubine Li said, looking at Daolin, as if to determine whether the young man would bid.
The time interval between the second and third bidding was a bit long. It was obvious that everyone knew that Concubine Li was waiting for a price increase.
Sure enough, Daolin did not disappoint Concubine Li. He slowly raised his hand.
"Eight thousand two hundred taels."
"This gentleman bids eight thousand two hundred taels. Is there anyone who bids higher? Eight thousand two hundred taels is the first time." Concubine Li quickly pointed her finger at Daolin and said.
The second person did not expect that someone would intervene at the last moment, and immediately stood up from his seat. He wanted to see who was going to confront him.
"I'll offer eight thousand five hundred taels!" The second person glanced around and increased the price by three hundred taels.
"The price here has been increased to 8,500 taels. Sir, do you want to continue to increase the price?" Concubine Li pointed back to the second person, but looked at Daolin.
"Eight thousand eight hundred taels." Dolin raised his hand slightly again and shouted.
"Eight thousand eight hundred and two once!" Concubine Li pointed her hand back again and quickly made her first bid.
"I'll give you nine thousand taels, you bastard, who is trying to rob me?" the second man yelled angrily.
Naturally, Dolin wouldn't pay attention to him. At auctions, those with wealth will get it. Opening his mouth to curse will only make people think it's ridiculous.
Daolin raised his hand again, and this time he directly raised the price to nine thousand five hundred taels.
I heard that the price had reached 9,500 taels. If I could get the dagger next time, it would be 1,600 taels more than before. This made the man feel that he had been taken advantage of, so he stopped bidding.
"The first time in nine thousand five hundred taels!"
"Nine thousand five hundred taels for the second time!"
Concubine Li glanced across the auction house, and quickly lowered her arms. As she lowered her arms, she smiled and shouted: "Dealed, the bidding price is nine thousand five hundred taels."
This is actually a technique. Call out the deal first and then call out the price, so that the bidding can be set first. As for someone who questions the fairness, she can just say that she was careless, and the transaction price was also called out, so it is not unfair.
Dowling happily went backstage to pay the money. When the knife actually fell into his hand, he discovered the peculiarity of the knife.
Returning to his seat, he took the lead in handing the dagger to Kong Xin, because he had the remnant soul of the peerless sword demon in his body, and for the sword, Kong Xin was definitely the best experiencer.
"This knife is a bit weird." After looking at it carefully, Kong Xing looked at Daolin with a shocked look on his face.
