In fact, this group of mermaids is of great research value to many people.
Although there are no high-quality star-level mermaids, by stacking the numbers, we might be able to figure out the secret of the bloodline of the mermaids in the Star Reef.
So as soon as John started the auction, someone spoke up.
"One hundred million Azan coins."
The auction also had background music, which was exciting and fast, but before the background music started, this person spoke.
This man's voice was the first person who asked John a question before.
"This is the first time for 100 million Azan coins. This customer was very thoughtful and directly paid 100 million gold coins!"
"One hundred million Azan coins for the second time! You know, the various lords of the Mermaid Kingdom are very interested in their own bloodline, let alone mermaids above level 15!"
"The third time of 100 million Azan coins! This time, if it weren't for His Majesty Wu Mian's guarantee, we wouldn't dare to auction it! Think about it, there will be no such opportunity from now on... Moreover, we are keeping secret
Good stuff!"
When he said the second sentence, Wu Mian's face turned dark.
When John said the last words, two voices spoke at the same time.
"One hundred and fifty million Azan coins!"
"One hundred million and one Azan coins!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, making the audience stunned for a moment.
"I'm sorry, Mr. No. 75644, but the Mr. No. 275 bid is better." John smiled at a certain general direction, and then spoke again: "One hundred and fifty million for the first time..."
Several forces spoke one after another. It was obvious that the first party belonged to Xingchen Reef, and the other two parties probably also had malicious intentions.
After a three-party struggle, this batch of mermaids was actually captured by the person who only had one more Azan coin.
But there was no time to be surprised. The second batch of auctioned slaves came again, followed by the third batch, the fourth batch...
It wasn't until the fifth batch that the entire auction entered a break, and people from the Azan troupe came up to sing and dance.
The auction of the first batch of slaves ended, but what followed was not the second batch of slaves, but something else.
"The second auction is for knowledge items!" John's voice was still full of passion. In the past, when the Wonderful Land was just a wooden platform, he was the host.
I have to say, John quite likes this feeling.
"Knowledge items? What are knowledge items?"
In a crowded auditorium, there were six people crowded together. They all pooled their money to buy a seat. In order to save money, one of the people who looked like a farmer was a little curious.
"Go look at the list! Isn't the auction process and list written down?" A fat aunt next to her said impatiently.
"Oh, oh, sorry, I can't read." The old farmer scratched his head.
Seeing that the old farmer was illiterate, the fat aunt's face became kind. She didn't know who was participating in the ticket competition this time. It was her nephew who was in the city hall who gave her the ticket.
She has such a nephew, and she has restrained herself from being arrogant and domineering. At least she can't embarrass her nephew, right?
"It's okay, I can go to elementary school and attend adult classes when I have time... Knowledge items are the products of research by various [scholars]. These researches mainly include mathematics, thunder and lightning science, lava science, etc..." The fat aunt said matter-of-factly
Introduce it.
Someone nearby also echoed: "There is a manuscript by the legendary [mathematician] Ju Liuhe in it... Tsk, tsk, I really want to take a look at it!"
The person who spoke was a young man with an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were bright and lively.
"I don't dare to think about the manuscript of a legendary strongman."
"Yeah yeah."
"I came here just to gain some insights."
Several other people chatted easily.
The first auction item was also displayed on the big screen in front.
"This is a manuscript written by the legendary [mathematician] Ms. Juliuhe before her breakthrough. It records the content of pi! It also includes the definition of the difference between irrational numbers and rational numbers."
It's a bit difficult for John to pronounce these terms himself, let alone other people who have never been exposed to them.
However, everyone still knows the meaning of "legend".
"The starting price is one thousand Azan coins!" Although the price was not high, John's voice was still high-pitched.
Only one thousand Azan coins?
Most of the audience looked surprised, but no one bid yet.
Many nobles simply don't want to buy this thing. After all, people who have been exposed to mathematics think that mathematics is a very troublesome thing.
Originally, many nobles believed that it was difficult to advance in the [Scholar] branch, and mathematics was even more difficult in the [Scholar] branch, and no one liked it.
What do some numbers mean?
We only use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in life, so why learn so much?
Still more enjoyable than riding horses and slashing.
So...no one bids yet!
Unlike the group of slaves who bid as soon as they finished speaking, Juliuhe's manuscript didn't seem to be particularly attractive.
But the young man who had just spoken was suddenly moved.
He is Resha, and he was originally from the Yongfrog Court. He came here because of its reputation. He brought his whole family here, hoping to settle down.
Fortunately, their family has also accumulated some money, which can be converted into Azan coins. They even bought a very cheap house here and still have a balance of about 10,000 Azan coins.
His relatives are looking for jobs outside, and he can also find a job in a research institute if nothing happens.
Now, the money at his disposal is even about two thousand Azan coins!
That is the manuscript of Mr. Juliuhe!
Not to mention the collection value, even the mathematical knowledge contained in it is very useful.
However, as soon as Resha was moved, someone made a bid.
"Ten thousand Azan coins! Lady Juliuhe's humility should not be the reason why the price of this thing is so low." This was the voice of a young man.
Others were not very familiar with it, but Resha knew that it was the voice of the famous [mathematician] Laplace. He had seen it in a live broadcast!
It's just that Resha is a little helpless.
Originally, he thought that no one knew this was a good thing.
But he was simply overthinking it.
In fact, many people originally wanted to pick up the missing ones.
Things that cannot be auctioned here will generally be sent to the sales center at the lowest price or returned to the auctioneer after the auction fails.
Many [scholars] want to get in touch with mathematics more than others, so they pick up a manuscript and buy it. Who knows there are people who know the stuff.
So, everyone stopped giving demonstrations.
"Eleven thousand gold coins... no, Azan coins."
"Fifteen thousand azan coins!"
"Twenty thousand!"
Everyone competed to bid, and the price was finally won at about 40,000.
This made people who initially thought they could pick up the slack secretly curse their opponents for too many mistakes.
And then, the audience also knew what "rich" means.
Whether it was slaves, knowledge or equipment, huge amounts of Azan coins were sold.
