I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

The few people gathered together tasted the fruits in silence and waited for the auction to begin.

However, before evening approached, a middle-aged man with an expensive appearance, accompanied by a guard, knocked on the door and entered the private room provided for VIPs.

Chen Zhou, Donal and Toga were not aware of it, thinking that the other party had accidentally made a wrong move.

The Pelor Shadow Guards, who were resting in the shadows, saw that these people didn't know anything, so they had to remind them in a low voice: "It turns out to be Lord Gabriel, the owner of the treasure collection."

That is, the owner of the auction house.

Lord Wenyan showed a breathtaking smile and asked elegantly: "Thank you for your willingness to give Treasure Collection a highly anticipated opportunity. I am Gabriel, the owner of Treasure Collection. Can I discuss the details of the auction bid with you? ?”

Chen Zhou, who was almost bored to the point of hanging up, nodded: "No problem, is this a special service of the auction house?"

"Kitten, you have trouble with special services, right?"

"Of course." Gabrielle kept smiling, "Only the most distinguished guests will have the opportunity to see me."

Chen Zhou deliberately said "return", but still maintained a curious expression.

The boss who received the consent sat in front of everyone accompanied by his escort and explained familiarly: "I understand that you have not set a reserve price in advance. Are you in a hurry to sell this gold crystal?"

What is reserve price?

Chen Zhou had never heard of this setting.

"Actually, it's not urgent."

Chen Zhou, who was filled with questions, changed the subject without leaving any trace.

"It's just that this city probably doesn't have that much time."

He believed that Lord Reimer should know some inside information.

Sure enough, after hearing the other party's reasons, Remo smiled slightly.

"Haha, you should have more confidence in the iron-fisted Marquis. She will definitely be able to solve the invasion of the water elemental plane."

Toga blinked. Is it the water element invading, or is this just a noble word?

Chen Zhou was noncommittal: "Maybe."

On the other side, Shushu has told him the meaning of "reservation price".

"The reserve price refers to the seller's psychologically expected price in the auction. If this price is not reached, the auction will be considered a failure even if it exceeds the starting price."

If the starting price is a pretense to attract people to jump into the pit, the reserve price is the bottom line for sellers who don't see the rabbit but don't let the eagle fly.

"Since Your Excellency is not in a hurry to take action, why don't we trust Marquis Olysia more?"

"how do I say this?"

"Of course, let it fail!"

Gabriel then explained the reason and purpose of his visit.

Although the price given by the auctioneer is as high as 20, this is actually far from the true value of Jin Jing.

It should be noted that it is almost impossible to find such a large and complete gold crystal on the main material plane. Such large and high-quality gold crystals can be called rare treasures.

In the hands of a blacksmith master, it can even be used to create weapons that will be passed down from generation to generation, and will become a magical weapon with great bonuses against evil creatures.

If there are legendary casters willing to help, it is not impossible that the power of the finished product can reach the level of a secondary artifact!

In other words, the price of this gold crystal is more than 20 yuan. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is priceless.

"Actually, it's much cheaper to buy it in Sigil City. The price of a gold crystal weapon is generally only two thousand gold coins more than an ordinary weapon."

When selling this kind of thing, which normal seller would not contact the auction house in advance to exhibit, build momentum, and market it together, so that all those who are interested in it can raise funds, and then win a high price in one fell swoop?

However, on the day of the auction, Chen Zhou seemed to have dropped a bombshell like an ordinary material that he didn't care about, catching everyone including the owner of the auction house off guard.

I didn’t feel at ease because I didn’t raise enough money.

Chen Zhou didn't understand, and even thought these people were a bit stupid.

"Actually, I don't know much about auctions. Even if I get it now, it only costs two or three hundred thousand gold coins. But if they are given a period of time to raise funds, wouldn't it mean that they won't be able to get it even if they don't have four hundred thousand gold coins?"

That’s not profitable either?

It is said that Jin Jingjing can be used to make the most top-notch weapons, but the value of Jin Jingjing itself is limited to this. What really invests a country is the price of other materials and the request to pass on the method.

Seeing Chen Zhou's confusion, Lord Gabriel also felt strange.

The other party doesn’t understand auctions, but he doesn’t understand the other party either.

Why do you care so much? Isn't it a good thing for you to sell it more expensively?

"Just curious." Chen Zhou added.

He has always been very curious.

"Of course it is to ensure that they can get this rare treasure." The Lord could only explain patiently, "During this period, they can achieve their goals through various methods."

Raising money through selling, pledging equity, and mortgaging is just one of the ways.

Stealing, robbing, entrusting Wanxiang to plunder, and negotiating privately to lower the price. There are countless ways to get gold crystals at a cheaper price.

Coupled with the energy problems in the past two days, which has caused confusion and delays in many affairs, this will become a good opportunity.

Chen Zhou asked: "Then I don't understand even more. Why should I take risks and delay?"

"Of course it's for money, my distinguished guest. Don't you want it to sell for a sky-high price?"

No one can refuse to sell a heirloom treasure at a price consistent with its status.

Chen Zhou fell into silence.

Although this item is rare, you can actually find it if you go to the second level of Paradise.

This piece of his was also accidentally dug out by Spike II when he went skiing.

"Actually, I don't care much about money. I almost never touch money."

As soon as these words came out, the others suddenly felt like they had a heart attack. Why are these words so outrageous?

"I think it's better to sell it at a reasonable price." Donal suggested. Chen Zhou doesn't like money anymore, he is a cute dragonborn.

Toga had a calm look on his face. It didn't matter whether he had money or not. His only hobby was drinking a little wine.

Shadow Guard is even more calm and composed. He only cares about the mission assigned to him by Pelor. However, when encountering undead creatures or evil alien creatures, he will basically become red-tempered immediately.

"The four of you have taken advantage of the wine, sex, and wealth."

"Ahem, then I will accept the boss's opinion." Chen Zhou finally nodded, "The reserve price is 400,000, let them slowly raise money."

After finding out the bottom line price from the seller, Gabriel returned to his aristocratic manner and left gracefully.

As time passed, just as several people began to doubt Chen Zhou's prediction.

There was a gentle knock on the door again, and very pleasant words.

"Are you the auctioneer No. 42? We will provide you with VIP service during the auction."

The four of them looked at each other, look, isn’t this coming?
