The bald eagle waved his fist in the air with a very excited expression, as if he had won a victory with his own hands.
"No. C1088 bids 4,000 gold coins. This is a war. Is there anyone who bids higher than him?"
It has to be said that the Bald Eagle did create a lot of hatred for Wang Hao, especially the No. 1 imperial box in the sky, which made some of them extremely disgusted.
I remember that when some people entered the auction hall, someone once recommended this damn imperial box to them. However, when they heard the rent of 500 gold coins, after rational consideration, they gave up this luxurious enjoyment.
Because their wealth and status no longer need such vulgar means to prove, let's take a look at these people's last names, Rothschild, Rockefeller, Mellon...their last names are the best business cards.
But no one thought that such a nouveau riche actually rented the imperial box.
In their view, this is the biggest provocation to them.
We don’t understand the world of rich people.
The young masters of these top conglomerates are all members of the same circle. When provoked by outsiders, they instinctively stand on a united front.
A smiling brown-haired man picked up the wine glass in his hand, shook it towards a beautiful girl opposite, put the glass to his mouth elegantly, took a sip, and his handsome face revealed an increasingly...
Charming smile.
The girl didn't appreciate it, she snorted softly and glanced her beautiful face elsewhere.
The brown-haired man didn't care and leaned back slightly. Then he heard a more serious voice coming from behind, "Young Master, it has been confirmed that the one who made the bid just now is Meilong's Young Master."
"Oh, it turned out to be that grumpy boy, no wonder, haha." A playful expression appeared on his face immediately, "Then let me add fuel to their fire. 4,500 gold coins."
"Yes, young master." Although he felt that it was not worthwhile to spend nearly half of the funds for this event just for a dragon head statue, the old man wisely did not say any words of advice. In essence, young masters from these aristocratic families are
It's the same kind of people.
The bald eagle on the exhibition stand was still full of passion. He waved his fist and glanced at the place above his head again, "4500 gold coins for the first time. Are you going to give up like this? Maybe as long as there is one more gold coin
, can we win this extremely rare dragon head statue?”
His voice seemed to possess a kind of magical power, making people involuntarily think that maybe with just one more gold coin, they could win this very domineering statue of the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
"You're lying. The minimum price increase here is 10 gold coins."
Some people also tried to expose his lies, but Bald Eagle responded without changing his face, "For those who really want to win this dragon head statue, there is no difference between one gold coin and ten gold coins."
In the imperial box, monkey's face also showed an anxious look. He glanced at Wang Hao hesitantly and said awkwardly: "How about we just give up. There will definitely be something better in the future."
Even the most inexperienced person can see at this point that the price is already higher than the actual value of the item.
"Haha, it's okay, it's worth the price." Wang Hao waved his hand. He knew what he was doing. This was not a grudge, but he really felt it was worth it.
The purple bow of the Dragon King of the East China Sea happens to be a piece of equipment that he is familiar with. In another time and space, this piece of equipment is quite famous, and the two skills it comes with are also extremely sharp. Naturally, he will not let it go easily.
.
"5,000 gold coins."
The bald eagle made an exaggerated gesture of spitting blood to express his shock. You must know that the game has only been launched for a month. To raise such a huge sum of money in such a short period of time is not something that an ordinary consortium can do.
Could it be that the person above is the heir to a certain Chinese consortium?
He thought with some gossip that as the fourth largest financial group in the world, these Chinese people usually behave too low-key, and their behavior like today is really unexpected.
The base price was one thousand, and it has now increased five times, which has exceeded his expectations. However, he was still unwilling to show off the poisonous snake again, trying to stir up everyone's fighting spirit and reach a new high.
"Haha, since this friend likes it so much, let's give it to him."
The brown-haired man said calmly, it would be a big mistake to think that people like them from chaebol backgrounds only know how to be brave and fierce. They have received an elite education. If in their life experiences,
If the degree certificate is less than single digit, it is almost ashamed to mention it in the circle.
Take the brown-haired man, for example. He has MBA degrees from several top universities, taught himself art and painting, and has achieved a certain degree of fame.
Everyone hangs out in the same circle, and no one is stupid. With the withdrawal of the brown-haired man, other people with the same family background have also made the same choice. It’s not that they can’t make more money, but that at the beginning of the auction house
It is obviously not in their interests to go to war like this.
Therefore, although the bald eagle still tried its best to shout, it did not get any more response.
With a little regret, the bald eagle finally banged the gavel and said with a smile to the box above his head: "Congratulations to the distinguished guests in the Imperial Box No. 1, this unique and rare statue of the Dragon King of the East China Sea is yours.
Let us applaud him."
The audience immediately burst into warm applause. They enjoyed a fierce battle. This applause came from the heart.
"This guy is pretending to be a good person again." Monkey's expression was both happy and angry. Although his reason told him that even if there were no provocative words from the other party, someone might still participate in the fight, but he still didn't have the slightest fondness for this hypocritical man.
.
"He also does it for work. From this aspect, he does his job very well."
Wang Hao didn't care very much. Although the other party asked him to pay more than a thousand gold coins, he was just eating a bowl of rice.
And he knew very well that the other party was not targeting him.
In fact, every time there is a Century Auction, there will be many people who hate him, but he is not the only one.
Before his emotions cooled down, a new product appeared on the exhibition stand.
This is a purple-quality treasure, the Bloodthirsty Ring, which can greatly enhance the player's melee combat ability.
Wang Hao had no interest in this item because of the existence of the Pirate Code and not being too keen on boarding battles.
Moreover, compared to the dragon head statue, this piece of equipment is not as valuable and has a wider range of uses. This can be seen from the starting price of the Bloodthirsty Ring.
However, no matter how bad the attributes of the Bloodthirsty Ring are, it cannot be denied that it is a top-quality item. Many players who have no hope of competing for those top-level items have set their sights on these secondary items.
The price of the item slowly increased from five hundred until it was finally bought by an Asian man for fifteen hundred gold coins.
"This is a victory for Asians. I haven't woken up yet. Is there going to be another pornographic storm in this auction?"
Hearing the bald eagle's provocative words, even Wang Hao couldn't help but frown. It can be foreseen that if there are still yellow people participating in the bidding in the next auction, it will inevitably arouse the white people's anger.
Fight back.
Fortunately, the next few purple items that appeared were still not to Wang Hao's liking. Only one of these items was equipment, and the others were some rare materials or artifact parts, all of which were provided by players.
In this world-famous auction, an item may be sold at a price several times higher than the market price, so professional players will not miss it.
For example, Wang Hao once tried to sell the purple shipbuilding material at this auction if he did not raise enough funds before the auction started.
As the items were placed on the exhibition stand one by one, and their owners were found one by one, Mei Mei never waited for Wang Hao to use his power to predict the next three items in advance.
You must know that it does not mean that the equipment at the back is necessarily the best, or that something is good, but it may not be suitable for you. There are certain risks in how to choose.
It's possible that you kept thinking about something better later, but ended up not spending the money in the end.
Therefore, at this time, the benefit of knowing the subsequent product information in advance is revealed.
"Are you really not going to use that power?" There was a trace of hesitation in Mei Mei's voice. This was not what she should have said. Normally, her duty is to serve and explain, but she cannot interfere with the people in the box.
decision made.
This was because Wang Hao looked kinder and had the same skin color, so the girl had the courage to ask.
"Then can I know the information about the last three items?" Wang Hao said calmly.
The girl immediately made a bitter look on her face and said bluntly: "You... you are a scammer."
You must know that the number of items launched at every Century Auction is not fixed, and Wang Hao's question is obviously beyond his authority.
"However, you are our first third-level VIP here. I can only reveal that among the last products there will be an artifact-level shipbuilding blueprint." Meimei seemed to have asked for instructions from her superiors, and she was very surprised.
An important piece of information was revealed in a subtle way.
This is also a bonus that comes with renting an imperial box.
"Artifact-level shipbuilding blueprints?"
Wang Hao's face suddenly changed color. This was not because he was not well-educated, but because the news was too shocking.
The artifact-class shipbuilding blueprints are basically equivalent to a perfect orange-quality battleship. You must know that the Black Pearl he dreams of is an artifact-class battleship.
Not only Wang Hao, but everyone else in the box was devastated by this news. Currently, in the entire game, there are very few purple-quality ships in the hands of players, let alone orange-quality legendaries.
Although Wang Hao's enhanced version of the Venetian gunboat is known as the strongest second-tier battleship, it definitely does not include the purple ship.
Although the Venetian gunboats are strong, they are not the only ones. As the player level increases, the number of Venetian gunboats will not be overwhelming, but it will not be too few.
But purple-quality ships mean they are limited editions. No matter in any period, the number of the same purple-quality warships will not exceed one palm.
The orange quality symbolizes uniqueness, which means there is only one such ship in the entire game. It is unique.
Any artifact ship is superior to ships of the same level.
"We must capture him." Monkey clenched his fists with both hands, eyes flashing with fierce flames. He said impatiently, "If the money is not enough, I still have some private money here, and I will lend it all to you."
His private money was not much, only a few dozen gold coins, which would not be of much help to the outcome of the auction. However, Wang Hao felt a strong sense of brotherhood in these words.
Next, Master Jie, Brother Dong, York, Chris and others also expressed their willingness to lend money to Wang Hao to participate in the competition for the artifact-level shipbuilding blueprint.
Although they don't know how much this drawing is worth, they can imagine that it is definitely a sky-high price.
"If I had known better, I shouldn't have bought this dragon head statue."
The monkey paused as he looked at the items in front of him. Compared with the orange ship, the other items were nothing. With a few thousand more gold coins at this time, the hope of grabbing the artifact-level shipbuilding blueprints would naturally be much greater.
Although Wang Hao's face remained calm, he was secretly calculating in his mind that after deducting the money spent to buy the dragon head statue, he still had almost 40,000 gold coins left, which should be enough.
Logically speaking, it should be enough, but the style of those top wealthy players is really difficult to infer from the thinking of ordinary players. If he really misses this opportunity, he will definitely regret it.
"Excuse me, can I have someone send more money in?"
Hearing Wang Hao's words, the smile on the girl's face became sweeter. Isn't this a clear way to give them money? "Yes. We can open a special portal for you. As long as your people arrive at the designated place.
You can teleport to this box."
Wang Hao nodded to express his understanding. The person he was looking for was his attendant, the timid and greedy NPC attendant Perry. This guy still had at least 50,000 gold coins in his hands. If he could borrow these,
, it shouldn’t be a problem to get the artifact ship map.
As for how Pelli would lend him money with his character of loving money as much as his life, that is not what Wang Hao has to consider now.
On the deck of the "Falling Snow", Perry looked at the stern-faced Hal with a bored expression. As the only person of his kind on the ship who could chat with him for a few words, he actually wanted to lean in and say a few words, but every time
As soon as he approached this time, the other party cast an indifferent look, causing him to swallow all the words he wanted to say.
Old-fashioned, dull, and without any interest, this is how Pelli evaluated the other party, although he knew in his heart that the owner obviously had more trust in the person in front of him.
"It's so boring, sleep, sleep."
For some reason, he suddenly missed his master. At least he had someone to talk to when he was bored.
"Mr. Paley, there is your express delivery."
Suddenly a childish voice came from the pier. Pelli looked towards the pier in confusion. It had been a long time since he heard this familiar name. He remembered that the last time he was in France...
Paley thought of the good times in France and was in a good mood. He rarely counted out two copper coins as consumption and gave them to the newsboy who delivered the letter.
After quickly reading the letter, Pelli's face suddenly showed an excited look. He raised the letter in his hand and placed it in front of Hal's eyes. He laughed loudly and said, "Did you see it? The master called me to attend the auction of the century."
Yes, haha, he really likes me more."
Hal silently glanced at the letter and Paley's arrogant and proud face, then turned and left without any change in his expression.
"There is no sense of accomplishment in bullying honest people."
After laughing for a while, Pelley felt a little discouraged. How could he be so vindictive with such an idiot? Then he hummed a French ditty and walked towards the place specified in the letter.
What no one noticed was that Hal's palms clenched into fists involuntarily while listening to the piercing ditty.
An inexplicable fire rose in his heart, and for the first time in his life, he had the urge to flatter someone.
If Perry had known that Wang Hao was after his money bag, I believe his mood at the moment would never be as good as it is now.
After arriving at the designated place, Pelli passed through a white light door, and his vision blurred. When his vision recovered again, he saw a large group of people including Wang Hao.
"Good evening, beautiful ladies. I am the former quartermaster of France and the admiral of the right-wing fleet, Paley. It is a great honor to see you all here." As he said this, Paley showed a perfect gentlemanly etiquette.
If he hadn't been so fat and if he hadn't taken the initiative to grab the beautiful woman's hand, everyone present would have regarded him as a gentleman.
"This is……"
The girl was a little stunned. She tried hard to pull away the little hand held by the other party, and looked back with hesitation.
Wang Hao suddenly touched his nose in embarrassment. He had never thought that in addition to being greedy for money, this damn fat man was also lustful. This really made him feel very wrong.
"This is my attendant Perry. He is talking nonsense. Don't be offended." After saying this, Wang Hao glared at this guy fiercely.
Paley's face was obviously thicker than everyone expected. He ignored the displeasure on the faces of the women and just went up to talk about some of his glorious experiences in France.
"This is...an NPC?"
Someone asked quietly.
"Well, a captain-level NPC."
Wang Hao said with some helplessness. He did not intend to hide the matter of subduing a captain-level NPC, but he also did not want to make it known to the whole world. Except for a limited number of people such as York, this was the first time for others to hear about it.
"Wow, you are so awesome." There was a look of admiration in the girl's eyes. Don't get me wrong, she worships the God of Gold Coins, and being able to have a captain-level NPC, Wang Hao's status in her heart has obviously increased several times.
grade.
Master Jie and the other three looked at Pelli curiously. To be honest, Wang Hao brought them too many surprises today, so many that they were already a little numb.
If this guy hadn't behaved so strangely, it would have been difficult to touch their nerves with ordinary things.
While everyone was chatting, the auction below was still continuing. After learning about the artifact-level ship map, Wang Hao and others would naturally no longer be interested in other products.
