In the publicity of the auction, the supreme exotic beast essence and blood is the final highlight.
However, just after the auctioneer announced the ownership of the essence and blood, a middle-aged man came up and whispered a few words to him.
Everyone who participated in the bidding had already stood up and planned to leave.
For the final auction, many people had no intention of participating, but just wanted to witness it - at least it would open their eyes, right?
But at this moment, the auctioneer banged his hammer and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet!"
He said with excitement, "Now I'm adding an extra item to the auction, I believe you won't be disappointed."
"Yes, this is belated good news, a bit sudden."
"But I hope everyone can calm down for a minute. Please trust me and trust our auction house."
"This kind of auction is more in line with the identity of the finale treasure... So, what kind of treasure will it be?"
"Of course, if anyone has no confidence in our auction house, you can leave now, but I believe you will regret it..."
"I believe many people want to know what kind of treasure it is, but I would like to ask, do you have enough money in your account?"
"Are you finished?" A cold snort came from a private room, "Hurry up, you can't afford to waste my time!"
"Okay," the auctioneer said with a smile, "I'm just adding to the atmosphere... to attract everyone's attention."
"In fact, I think that there should be enough respect for this treasure, and it is necessary to introduce it for a longer time."
"Our auction house believes that there is not enough time to promote this treasure before this auction, which is very..."
"Are you done yet?" A roar came from another private room, "Are you not going to do it anymore?"
"The introduction can be so sloppy...are you going to die?"
When the auctioneer heard this, he could only smile sarcastically, "Okay, this is a magic weapon... Yes, you heard me right..."
"This is a magic weapon, a complete magic weapon..."
There was a roar, and the whole place went crazy. What the auctioneer said could not be heard at all.
After a while, the auctioneer picked up the hammer and struck it seven or eight times in a row, "Quiet, quiet, quiet!!!"
To put it simply, a complete magical artifact is temporarily sent for photography. This operation is not an ordinary one.
But the auctioneer did not give a detailed explanation.
He just said that before this, there was indeed a plan to put this magical artifact up for auction, but in the end the owner chose to give up.
The promotion of the auction lasted for three months. During the entire process, some lots were added and some were withdrawn.
However, this magical weapon has never been publicized. You can imagine that it is a big loss to the owner of the magical weapon.
But even so, the magic weapon finally appeared at the auction site, which felt... quite strange.
A cold snort came from a box, "Aren't you worried about the Alliance's tax investigation?"
This is already a rather rude accusation - such a hasty auction is obviously suspected of money laundering.
The auctioneer replied without hesitation, "For such a big auction, the tax will definitely be watching. We focus on foreclosure auctions!"
Since the main auction items are bankrupt items, there is indeed less suspicion in this regard.
Moreover, the auction party announced that the auction activities will be suspended for two hours to facilitate participants to prepare money.
Of course, anyone who wants to give up participating can leave now.
Others are complaining loudly that this time is simply not enough.
As a result, the auction house immediately invited two bank representatives - as long as you can prove your strength, you can get a loan on the spot.
The auction company is willing to act as a guarantor.
Obviously, the organizers have shown a certain degree of strength and sincerity - which is also closely related to their income.
But no matter what, this temporarily added auction is still a bit strange.
Two hours later, the auction continued, and the much-anticipated magical artifact was brought up on a tray.
Lifting the cloth covering the tray, there was a transparent cover inside, and inside the cover was an indigo-colored...hairpin?
The tip of the hairpin is not very sharp, and the whole body is slightly crystal clear.
At the hollow end is a round bead, simple yet exquisite.
The auctioneer said that this was a lethal weapon, but he said he was unable to disclose the killing method and effect.
This situation is relatively rare. Since it is going to be auctioned, how can we not introduce the items?
There was no warm-up publicity in the early stage, and there is no detailed introduction now. Do you want to sell it or not?
However, the auctioneer made it clear - because it is a magical artifact, considering the rights and interests of the buyer, it is inconvenient to say too much.
"...When the bidding ends, if the final winner wishes to explain in detail, it will not be too late to introduce it at that time!"
This is true, but no matter what, I always feel that this auction is a bit too casual.
The base price of the auction is 200 billion alliance coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 10 billion.
In the auction room, there were low-level discussions everywhere - there was no way, this lot was beyond everyone's expectation.
But the nine Qu Jianlei looked at each other in confusion, and no one spoke for a long time.
Finally, Jing Yuexin snorted lowly, "What a Wu Zhen!"
It turned out that this auction item was one of the four magical artifacts Wu Zhen introduced to them.
This hairpin magic weapon was originally in the hands of a metal supreme master, but it is said that this man failed to attack the supreme master thirty years ago.
In Wu Zhen's introduction, although this supreme man's strength has not declined much, he is still damaged and is quite old.
Even if it is a normal purchase, the probability of getting a magic weapon from this person is not low.
Who would have thought that he would appear at an auction so suddenly?
In any case, with the reserve price of 200 billion, Qu Jianlei and his group could only watch quietly.
Others were also very quiet, and it took a full five minutes before someone shouted out the bottom price.
After another three or four minutes, someone added 10 billion. The entire auction house was quiet, and most people could only be spectators.
The auctioneer was not in a hurry, and even temporarily added a message indicating that he would not continue to inquire after five minutes of bidding.
The scene was like a pool of stagnant water and eerily silent. It was obvious that the bidders who came this time were really inferior in strength.
However, in this silence, the bidding was rising bit by bit.
The amount of each price increase does not exceed 20 billion, and the maximum is 16 billion.
But the price has been rising slowly but surely.
More than an hour later, the dust finally settled, and the magical artifact was sold for 410 billion.
The successful bidder was in a discreet little box, and it seemed that he hadn't bid on many other items before.
Someone wanted to use their mental power to sense who was inside, but the alarm was triggered.
This prompted a warning from the auctioneer, "Everyone is a person with an identity, so please respect yourself. There are psychic sensors in the venue."
"Forget it the first time, do it again... I hope everyone will not underestimate our determination to safeguard the interests of our guests!"
When the auctioneer announced that the auction was over, the scene was quiet.
However, after leaving the auction house, the noise suddenly became louder.
Everyone was really shocked just now, so much so that they didn't dare to express their anger.
Who would have thought that the auction originally had a bidding price of more than 20 billion, but there were more than 400 billion in auction items?
At this moment, someone approached the three Hua Scorpions and asked in a low voice, "Do you still want the starship just now?"
Hua Scorpion also put away those thoughts and nodded calmly, "Of course."
Since the bid for the Ningying Pill failed, it would be easy to buy the starship.
What's rare is that the other party actually asked for cash payment, which shows that there is indeed some shady operation.
Flower Scorpion is also clever, but he said that it is a bit difficult to have so much cash - can I use gold to offset part of it?
The other party readily agreed, but said that gold was not cash after all and should be discounted.
Hua Scorpion pointed out coldly that with the invasion of aliens, the price of gold and other hard currencies is also rising.
If the other party cannot give a reasonable price, she would rather choose to transfer money...
In any case, her response was quite satisfactory. In the end, she only paid 230 million in cash, and the gold was worth 500 million.
As for where the starship is registered, it's very simple. Just register with an inexplicable company and pay a management fee.
There are quite a few loopholes that can be exploited here.
After the transaction, Hua Xiezi couldn't help but sigh, "The Alliance is weaker than the Empire for no reason."
Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's not necessarily that he is weak, but his war mobilization ability is a bit lacking."
In the process, they also determined which forces purchased the Ning Ying Dan and the Essence and Blood of Alien Beasts.
The person who bought the blood essence and blood of the alien beasts was a very powerful intermediary company, and they were purchasing it on behalf of a fund.
This fund has many shareholders, and among its investment targets are two research institutes. It is not surprising that it purchases the essence and blood of alien beasts.
And because there are many shareholders, the operation must be transparent, so an intermediary is entrusted to bid.
The person who purchased Ningying Dan was a group company, which had grown very rapidly in recent years and was said to have the support of the Supreme Being.
You don’t need to keep an eye on these two forces, just lock them in with your spiritual consciousness from a distance.
In Qu Jianlei's plan, the bottle of blood essence didn't matter. With the battles with foreign races, it was not difficult to obtain Nascent Soul-level blood essence.
But he had to get the Ningying Pill, and he couldn't let go of the guy who wanted to auction it off.
However, these two things are secondary after all. The most important thing now is...what happened to that magical weapon?
It's just that the other party is very guarded. Even if his spiritual consciousness micromanipulation is very strong, it's not appropriate to pay attention to him.
So he entrusted this matter to Yi He's attention - that guy Xizhao was a bit out of touch.
But until late at night, Yi He did not take the initiative to report anything.
Qu Jianlei was not in a hurry to ask - this senior had such a temper and was very patient.
Yi He didn't respond, but late at night, Xizhao jumped, "The two families... met!"
