The Soul War Drum, Hermes' Prayer, Stainless Steel Cannon and other top-grade items were placed on the exhibition stand one after another.
For example, the stainless steel cannon is a relatively common piece of exquisite equipment, but the Soul War Drum is a strategic treasure that can be used in large-scale naval battles. Its coverage range is five hundred yards, and its function is to enhance the
Ten percent of the player's attack and armor.
Perhaps in a small-scale naval battle, the effect of this treasure can only be considered average, but in a naval battle with more than ten thousand players participating, the power it can exert is almost equivalent to that of an artifact.
If Wang Hao hadn't already made up his mind to go all out to fight for the artifact-level ship map, and also had a treasure in his mind that had similar properties but better effects, he might really be able to resist grabbing this treasure.
Judging from the current development speed of the Four Seas Guild, it is still difficult to exert the maximum effect of the Soul War Drum in the short term. Rather than buying it and then shelving it, it is better to use the money to do something more meaningful.
Compared with the entanglement in the hearts of Wang Hao and others, the many guild bosses below can be described as a bloody fight.
In order to compete for this weapon of war, members of the world's top guilds have joined the battle.
The auction price soon exceeded 5,000, and is still rising.
If it were just a piece of equipment to enhance personal strength, they would never spend such a high price, but precisely because they saw the value of the Soul War Drum, they would not let it go easily.
As prices continue to rise, representatives of the world's top guilds are a little overwhelmed. They do have extremely strong strength in the game, but most of their resources are invested in some fixed assets and their core players. This
Being able to take out nearly 10,000 gold coins to participate in the auction at one time took up almost half of their working capital.
The players in these guilds behaved relatively calmly. When the price of the items did not reach the lowest price in their hearts, they fought for every inch of land without giving in. The indifferent expressions on their faces also made it difficult for outsiders to see through their true intentions.
But no matter how powerful these players are, without strong economic backing, they will eventually be defeated one by one.
This soul war drum was actually captured by the Roman Empire Guild in Italy, which greatly exceeded the expectations of those present.
In the eyes of many people, this should be a competition between the domestic guilds of the major traditional naval powers in Europe and the United States. Although Italy has many excellent ports, its naval strength is only second-rate in Europe, so it is naturally not favored by others.
.
But the performance of the Roman Empire people made everyone present understand a truth. The difference in naval strength between countries is not a problem at this auction. As long as you can get enough gold coins, you can become the biggest here.
winner.
The Prayer of Hermes is one of the components of the legendary set. As long as you can collect the other four components, you can get a set of equipment that is comparable to an artifact.
Under the description of the bald eagle, everyone present was mesmerized by the words that were comparable to artifacts.
This time, even the young masters of the world's top financial groups have joined the fight. They are different from the leaders of large guilds. They are more keen on some mysterious, rare equipment that can enhance their own strength, which can allow them to win more in the circle.
Much attention and face.
Hermes' prayer just met these conditions.
The competition between these rich young men is completely different from the previous guild representatives who fought for every inch of land and cared about every detail. They tried to increase the price by a small amount of ten or dozens of gold coins. Basically, they offered five hundred, one thousand as soon as they opened their mouth. Almost instantly, they offered
Those who want to fish in troubled waters are kicked out.
Wang Hao in the box was lost in thought. He knew that Bald Eagle was not exaggerating this time. If he could really put together this set of top-notch character equipment, the overall effect would really be no better than some scattered artifact equipment.
Difference.
In other words, people participating in the bidding are equivalent to using the money to buy a purple piece of equipment to compete for an orange piece of equipment, provided that they can gather the next four pieces.
This complete set of equipment is divided into a weapon, an armor, and three treasures. Hermes' prayer is only one of the three treasures. It is too difficult to get these together. At least Wang Hao is in another
Time and space, I haven’t heard of anyone getting it together.
In Wang Hao's view, this Hermes prayer is a big pit, and anyone who falls into it will cry without being able to cry out.
However, Wang Hao will definitely not tell these things. He hopes that these young masters will spend more money, so that in the end, his pressure will be reduced.
"8500 gold coins."
The Imperial Box No. 1, which had been silent for a long time, took action again and instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
The faces of some good people suddenly showed expressions of watching a good show, and their eyes kept wandering throughout the hall, as if they were looking for something.
"Hey, I thought this guy was too timid to take the lead?"
Little Rockefeller said with contempt, flicking his long brown hair, and his eyes immediately fell on a man not far away.
Although Melombal instinctively reacted to the man's gaze, he did not turn around, but showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. If you want to see his joke, then just walk and watch.
"10,000 gold coins."
As soon as the man finished speaking, the whole place suddenly fell into an uproar.
This is the second piece of equipment with a price exceeding 10,000 since the auction began. Many people's eyes have already shown a look of fanaticism. They feel that their trip is worthwhile to be able to appreciate such an auction that can easily cost tens of thousands of gold coins.
Facing the doubtful looks from other people in the box, Wang Hao smiled and told everyone not to worry, "I just want to add some trouble to them."
Everyone's faces immediately showed a look of relief. It would be a good choice to consume some potential opponents' funds in advance, but isn't Wang Hao afraid of getting himself into trouble?
"12,000 gold coins."
Everyone was immediately frightened by Wang Hao's generosity. This time, he actually raised the price by two thousand gold coins. They all took a breath of cold air. Why didn't they realize that Wang Hao would be such a crazy person before?
Especially Jie Shao and the other three looked like they didn't recognize Wang Hao, and they felt as if the situation in front of them was unreal.
"Is this still raising the price?" Monkey looked a little dull. He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking.
Wang Hao responded with a bright smile, "Of course, I also plan to bid on the last ship picture."
Based on his understanding of those young men, although the current price may cause some pain to the other party, it is still within the acceptable range, otherwise he would not be so bold.
However, this is also the last time. If someone raises the price again, he will definitely let it go.
Melombal looked at the Imperial Box No. 1 with a gloomy face. The other party's slap was returned really quickly. He seemed to have eyes behind him and saw the sarcastic and disdainful looks on the faces of his good friends in the circle.
"Old friend, if the money you brought this time is not enough, I can lend you some." The brown-haired man walked up to him at some point. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing a kind smile.
There is no good person in the Rockefeller family. Mellon Barr did not believe that the other party was so kind. He waved his hand rudely, "No, this little trouble is not a problem for me."
The brown-haired man shrugged, showing an innocent look, "Okay, since you insist, forget it. I don't want to see you lose at the hands of that man, after all, you are one of us.
"
Melombal nodded to express his gratitude, but he couldn't tell whether the other party's words were true or false, "13,000 gold coins."
"Okay. Mr. C1088 bids 13,000 gold coins. This has broken the previous highest price. Does anyone want to set a new high? Believe me, your name will be recorded in the history of Century Auction House with this moment.
, every time you wave, you are making history."
The bald eagle showed off the venomous snake, trying to arouse people's sense of honor. As for whether their century auction has such a thing as history... at most, it will be done afterward.
"Won."
When everyone in the box saw the price numbers jumping again, they all let out a collective sigh. In just a minute or two, they seemed to have fought a vicious battle.
Everyone's breathing is a little short.
"Oh, no, Wang, don't call me next time for playing with your heartbeat. If you do it again, my heart won't be able to bear it."
York exaggeratedly covered his heart and made a painful expression. Although the others did not speak, they also showed expressions of concern.
"Ha ha."
After defrauding the opponent of nearly five thousand gold coins in one fell swoop, Wang Hao naturally had reasons to be happy, especially since the target was No. C1088, which could be regarded as revenge for the original attack.
"The third transaction for 13,000 gold coins is completed. Congratulations, VIP c1088, this artifact wrapped in exquisite packaging is yours."
Hearing the bald eagle's speech, Melombal's face showed no joy at all. In order to buy this purple necklace, he spent almost all the funds he brought this time, which means that in the next time, he will only
You can be a spectator.
And he looked at the piece of Hermes' Prayer in his hand. Among the purple equipment, its attributes could only be considered average. If he couldn't find the other four pieces of equipment, his behavior this time would definitely become a scandal in the circle.
A joke.
But at that time, even if he didn't bid, the result seemed to be no different.
There is really no way to advance or retreat. How could the situation become like this?
Melombal kept dealing with the many friends who came to congratulate him on the surface, but were actually here to watch a joke. A hypocritical smile appeared on his stiff face from time to time. These behaviors have been integrated into his bones, and he can cope with them without even thinking.
freely.
---
The lights in the entire venue were instantly extinguished, and a few timid women couldn't help but let out a few harsh screams in the face of the dark environment.
"Bang!" After a slight vibration, the lights on the exhibition stand suddenly turned on, instantly becoming the focus of everyone.
The light in the box was still the same, but everyone present also smelled something unusual from this sudden change.
Could it be that "it" is about to appear?
Everyone's heartbeats began to accelerate involuntarily, and their whole bodies became hot.
"The next thing to be launched is the blockbuster item of this auction. I believe that anyone who sees it will feel that this trip will be regrettable."
The slightly magnetic voice of the bald eagle sounded again, but everyone in the audience did not give him face. Many people shouted loudly and asked him to tell the answer to the riddle directly.
"Hey, you guys are so humorless." He shrugged helplessly. "But, who said you are all gods? The answer is about to be revealed. This item is - a ship map."
"puff!"
The impatient person couldn't help but spit out a sip of the drink, his face full of astonishment, until the players around him who were splashed cast angry looks, and the astonishment on his face immediately turned into a bitter look.
"This guy is so... cheap."
The monkey thought for a while before he found a word to describe this dedicated Mr. Bald Eagle. However, he mostly had a happy expression on his face. Everyone in the box guessed it from the moment the other person said it was a picture of a ship.
This must be that artifact-level shipbuilding blueprint.
I just don’t know which ship it will be? Everyone was thinking hard in their minds.
You must know that the officially released information is not complete, and some places are even blank, which also makes their thinking more difficult.
"I hope it's Black Pearl. Captain Jack Sparrow looks so handsome." York was the first to say. He is a loyal fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. A total of 6 movies were made of this movie, and he has a complete set at home.
genuine DVD.
"Haha. If you ask me, it will definitely be the Victory. This is the most powerful battleship in Britain."
Not to be outdone, Chrissy also spoke out about the people she supports.
"Our Chinese treasure ships are also pretty good, but it's a pity that the treasure ships are top-grade ships and are a bit low-grade. However, our country's Zheng He is known as the strongest wooden sail warship. I hope it will be it."
Mr. Jie also came to join in the fun. After him, others also reported the names of some legendary ships published by official data.
It was not until the end that everyone realized that Wang Hao was the only one who had not spoken, so they asked each other what kind of legendary ship they wanted most.
Wang Hao couldn't help but rolled his eyes, not saying that it was not their turn to make the decision in this matter. If it was as the other party guessed, then he would have really fallen into a trap this time.
Listen to what these people say about the levels of ships. The "Black Pearl" is level 4, the "Victory" is level 7, the "Zheng He" is level 7...
This is simply a cheating rhythm. What is the use of these ship diagrams? Spending such a large amount of money to buy a ship that will not be used in the short term? He would do such a stupid thing after being kicked in the head by a donkey.
However, he vaguely guessed that the Century Auction would not be able to do such a thing.
"I hope it is a third-tier legendary battleship. As for the model and name, I really don't worry about it. The name of the legendary battleship itself is the best guarantee."
Wang Hao's words made everyone stunned, and the latter remembered a very practical problem. Although those high-end legendary battleships are extremely powerful, the level requirements for players are too high, and they are indeed not urgently needed by current players.
of.
After hearing this, the girl couldn't help but have a strange look in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, because the bald eagle below finally finished showing off its poisonous tongue after making five or six more players so angry that they almost vomited blood.
, intending to reveal the real answer.
"The name of this battleship is...wait a minute, what I want to tell you first is that this is the blueprint of a legendary ship. Yes, you heard it right. It is a true artifact-class shipbuilding blueprint.
"
This time they did not blame the bald eagle for going off topic. Their minds were instantly filled with words such as legendary design drawings and artifact-level shipbuilding drawings.
"Oh my god, it's actually a divine weapon, a real divine weapon."
This man's words were like a fuse, instantly igniting the passion of everyone in the room.
"Damn it, if I had known this thing existed, I shouldn't have bought that piece of purple equipment."
"It's eye-opening. Compared with the legendary ship design, the items in front are just rubbish."
"Mine, it's mine, it's all mine."
Perhaps most of the people present did not know what a legendary ship meant, or they did not know it completely, but they knew that if they missed this opportunity, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.
Especially for some people who participated in the previous item auction, they are even more regretful at this time. Although they also know that this legendary design drawing may not fall into their hands in the end, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will go there.
Fight for.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the whole place had been completely aroused, Bald Eagle finally stopped talking and spoke the name of this legendary ship.
"It is the extremely popular Golden Merli from the famous film and television anime. As for its origin, I believe many people here will be familiar with it. It was the original pirate ship of the Straw Hat Pirates."
One Piece, a movie adapted from an anime from an Eastern island country, has achieved good results all over the world. Although the overall reputation is much worse than Pirates of the Caribbean, this does not prevent a large number of teenagers from loving it.
Especially in Eastern countries, many people even grew up watching this anime, so their feelings are naturally different.
It doesn't matter whether the people present know the origin of the "Golden Meili" or not. It's enough for them to know that this is an artifact-level shipbuilding blueprint.
"Okay, I won't say any more. Let's see your performance next. The starting price of the Golden Merli is 10,000 gold coins. Let's start now."
No one thinks that these ten thousand gold coins are expensive, but they just think that their pockets may not have enough money. Some people with smart ideas and wide connections have already started to borrow money from people they know.
Because everyone was wary, no one bid for it for a while.
The bald eagle was not in a hurry. He knew that this situation was temporary and it wouldn't be long before someone would break the peace.
Besides, there are people like this in every auction house. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
