The Supreme Swordsman of Pirates

Chapter 182 Fruit Auction
The area of ​​the auction venue is over a thousand square meters, like a lecture theater, with rows of seats increasing step by step, and the entrance and exit are at the highest point.

After Zhong Hao entered, there were already some people sitting inside, each of them was gorgeously dressed and had a noble temperament, obviously their status was not low.Talking to each other hypocritically, talking and laughing at Yanyan.

Zhong Hao's entry was inconspicuous, and no one even looked back.And he just glanced at them, not interested in sitting among them, so he just randomly found a seat near the back and sat down.

People came one after another, and those who came in were surprised to see Zhong Hao sitting alone in the back, because this seat was so remote and empty, and compared with the almost full front row, it seemed out of place.

They were curious and somewhat interested, but they didn't intend to come forward to chat.They are all people with status, the back row does not conform to their status, the gathering place of those noble people in the front row is where they should go.

Twenty minutes later, the auction started, and there were no fewer than 10 people seated at the scene.

The host came to the stage and skillfully said the hot words:

"At the backstage just now, a staff member asked me: 'Can today's auction reach one billion?' I said: 'No, because the guests who come to participate in the auction are all noble nobles, and even the auction will be very elegant. ’ But he said: ‘But… isn’t the more noble a person, the more he can’t bear being inferior to others?’ Then, I criticized him severely, because he told the truth, which would make me appear despicable. "

The audience chuckled kindly, knowing that this was a little flattering joke, but their emotions were successfully mobilized.

A staff member trotted up from the backstage, said a few words in the host's ear, and went down again.

The host clapped his palms, with a bright smile on his face, and said: "Gentlemen and ladies, I'm really sorry, because the distinguished Tianlong people will come to this auction, so the auction has to be postponed for 10 minutes, please Please wait patiently, everyone."

If they had to wait another half an hour for any other reason, these people would definitely be dissatisfied, and even leave the venue angrily, and then blacklist this auction house.A joke, others have always been waiting for them, when is it their turn to wait for others?
But after hearing that it was the Tianlong people who came, they seemed to have a good temper all of a sudden, but smiled and said: "No, it is our honor to participate in the auction with the Tianlong people, let alone half an hour, it is ten I can wait for hours!"

Others followed suit.

The atmosphere in the front was harmonious, but Zhong Hao, who was sitting in the back, curled his lips and cursed secretly: "The god is so elegant, the god is so noble. When he heard that the Tianlong people were coming, he immediately turned to kneel and lick the dog. He said he was noble." What about elegance? Host, the joke you just said is satirizing them in advance!"

It was said to be waiting for half an hour, but it was not until one and a half hours later that Tianlong was late.

A short, fat man with a transparent hood and a weird bun on his head came in, handed the slave's chain to his followers, and walked slowly down.

The entrance and exit he walked happened to be on Zhong Hao's side. When he walked past Zhong Hao, he stopped to look at Zhong Hao and frowned.Because everyone else stopped talking and looked at him with respectful eyes, only Zhong Hao was indifferent, still sitting on the chair casually, without even looking at him.

After stopping for five seconds, the Tianlongman left with his head held high, because there is a rule in the auction house that the Tianlongren also acquiesced to. When you see a Tianlongren outside, you need to kneel down, but here you don't.Therefore, Zhong Hao's actions did not violate the rules, but he just wrote down the unhappiness in his heart.

Others looked at Zhong Hao with strange eyes.Not admiration, but some kind of hostility. Those in power hate the most lawless and rule-breaking people.They happen to be the ruling class.

Of course, Zhong Hao didn't take these things to heart. A group of Zhanwu scum, the kind who could die with just a flick of a finger, didn't even have the interest to take a second look.

After the small episode, Tianlongren took the best seat, but there was no one there, and the auction started immediately.

At the beginning, they were all antiques, gems, etc. Zhong Hao was not interested in these, and he didn't cheer up until the tenth auction item came on stage.

The waitress brought a wooden tray to the table, covered with a red cloth and a round object the size of a grapefruit.

"Today's final auction item is extremely precious and extremely rare. If you eat it, you can get the superpower's secret treasure of the sea, the devil fruit!" The host lifted the red cloth to reveal the items underneath.

"Sure enough, there are devil fruits, so I made this trip worthwhile." Zhong Hao's spirit was shaken, and a smile appeared on his face.

"This is a rare animal-type gorilla fruit. It is in the form of a silverback gorilla. If you eat it, you can turn into a silverback gorilla at any time, with infinite power. All of you here are noble people, and even a drop of blood is stronger than a gorilla." The life of a civilian is more precious, for your own safety, buy it, choose a loyal guard to eat it, guard it by your side, and you will be able to protect yourself greatly."

"The starting price is 5000 million."

"Your sister's profiteer." Zhong Hao cursed secretly: "The market price of a devil fruit is only 5000 million, and your starting bid is [-] million. Do you still have a conscience?"

That being said, he was still ready to buy it.

The silverback gorilla is similar to the mammoth, and they both belong to the partial family of strength. Simply comparing strength, the silverback gorilla is even twice that of a lion. If it is made into a real potion, the strength enhancement effect may reach 1.4.Anyway, it is done every six months, and using potions with poor effects will undoubtedly waste time, so try to use high-efficiency potions as much as possible.

"5000 million." Zhong Hao raised the sign and said softly.

This auction site is a bit big, and most people sitting in the back row may have to shout to hear it. Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person. He possessed the ability to speak softly but spread extremely far seven years ago.

"Uh..." The host was stunned for a second, there was no one in the back row, and his attention was always on the front row, so he really forgot about Zhong Hao's existence.With many years of auction experience, he quickly reacted and said loudly: "This gentleman bid 5000 million. Is there any higher bid?"

Since the auction dared to set the starting price so high, it was naturally because there was a market, so people immediately raised their placards and wanted to bid.

"Two hundred million."

A flat voice came, and the person holding the placard was startled, adding so much at once, who is so rich?They followed the sound and saw that it was a Tianlongren, and they all thought: "No wonder, it is a Tianlongren, no one is richer than them! But, aren't Tianlongren always only interested in slaves? Why would they want to shoot Devil Fruits?" ? By the way, the kid in the back row seemed to have offended the Tianlong people just now, hey! This is a good show."
