Elf, I am really a farmer
Chapter 52 Black Market Auction 1
Wen Qi quickly blended into the crowd and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, Wen Qi appeared again in front of another stall.
This time he changed his mask and his clothes were also brand new. Except for the fur ball around him, everything else had changed.
Fortunately, in this black market, Furball is not a rare Pokémon, and there are many people who carry Furballs.
So, this doesn't count as leaking the information.
However, Wen Qi secretly decided that if he came to the black market again, he would have to prepare a few more Pokémon, at least some replacements.
If I had known this, I would have brought the beautiful flower with me. At least she is not like the others, who are either too weak to protect themselves or too powerful and easily attract attention.
Wen Qi was strolling around casually, and before he knew it, it was time for his appointment with Li Xiang.
When we arrived at the entrance of the auction, it was already bustling with people. Some came to participate in the auction, while others came just to watch the fun.
As soon as Wen Qi reached the door, he saw the Fire Dinosaur next to Li Xiang.
Although Wen Qi changed his outfit, the Fire Dinosaur still had no reaction due to Wen Qi's smell. So, Wen Qi walked straight to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang suddenly saw a man in unfamiliar clothes walking towards him and thought something was going on.
However, when he saw the ball of fur beside Wen Qi and his own Charmeleon remained motionless, he realized that the person in front of him was Wen Qi.
"Why did you change your attire? Are you being watched by someone? Do you need my help?"
Li Xiang asked anxiously.
Wen Qi heard Li Xiang's concern and responded:
"It's okay. I just sold some stuff on the black market. To be on the safe side, I'd better change my outfit. It's better to be safe than sorry."
Li Xiang finally felt relieved. Seeing that the auction was about to begin, he brought Wen Qi to the door, handed him an invitation, and took him into the auction.
The moment Wen Qi stepped into the black market auction, his heart was filled with anticipation and curiosity.
This is his first time to set foot in this world full of mystery and fantasy, and the black market auction makes him feel nervous and excited.
The auction hall was spacious and magnificent, with exquisite chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling, casting soft light down.
The surrounding walls are decorated with portraits of various Pokémon. They are lifelike and seem like they will jump out of the paintings at any time.
Many people had already gathered in the hall. Some of them were talking in low voices, some were looking around, and everyone's face was filled with anticipation for the upcoming auction.
Led by their attendants, Wen Qi and Li Xiang passed through the bustling crowd and came to the box upstairs.
The box was elegantly and comfortably decorated, and through the window, one could have a panoramic view of the entire hall. Wen Qi sat on the soft sofa, and couldn't help but sigh at the magic and beauty of this world.
Wen Qi looked around and found that there were other guests in the private rooms on this floor.
Some of them were alone, quietly sipping the fragrant tea; others were quietly discussing the items to be auctioned with their companions.
Wen Qi's curiosity was instantly ignited, and he couldn't help but ask Li Xiang about the details of the auction.
Li Xiang introduced to Wen Qi the characteristics and rules of the black market auction in the Pokémon world.
The auction items here are wide-ranging, ranging from rare Pokémon to precious props.
Moreover, due to the special nature of black market auctions, many items are rare treasures.
Wen Qi listened attentively, and his curiosity about this auction grew stronger.
He fantasized that he could find some precious Pokémon here through the system, or get some props that would help him survive better in this world.
As time went by and the auction was about to begin, the lights in the hall gradually dimmed and the voices of people gradually became quieter.
Wen Qi knew that this auction would be a fierce competition.
At this time, Li Xiang said:
"Wenqi, do you have anything you want to auction? Tell me and I'll give you some advice."
Wen Qi replied:
"I'm not too sure. Let's take a look first. If there's anything that interests me, I'll buy it."
In the dim light, a beautiful auctioneer walked gracefully onto the stage.
She was wearing a gorgeous dress and had a professional smile on her face, but there was an elusive light in her eyes.
The auctioneer's name is Wu Li, and she is a dazzling star in the underground black market auction.
Wu Li is as beautiful as a fairy, like a gorgeous blooming peony. Her eyes are as deep as the night sky, sparkling with wisdom.
Her voice is sweet, pleasant and magnetic, and she grabs everyone's attention every time she speaks.
Wu Li is not only outstanding in appearance, but also an extremely capable auctioneer.
She is well aware of the rarity, combat power, and market value of Pokémon, and can accurately determine the potential value of each Pokémon.
Under her hosting, the auction was always full of tension and excitement, and every fall of the hammer would trigger exclamations.
Wu Li's charm lies not only in her beautiful appearance, but also in her love and concentration on auctions.
She listens attentively to the needs of every participant, uses her wisdom and skills to push prices up, and makes every auction an unforgettable feast.
In this underground auction, Wu Li's name has become synonymous with the underground black market auction. Her beauty and ability make people full of admiration and expectations for her.
At this time, Li Xiang was also introducing Wu Li's extraordinary qualities to Wen Qi.
Wen Qi didn't expect that this woman who looked like a vase was so capable.
At this moment, the clear and pleasant voice of auctioneer Wu Li sounded, and the auction officially began, and the first item was invited for auction.
The first item of the auction was a small fire dragon with green qualifications.
Its silhouette was projected onto the giant screen, and its flaming tail flickered with blazing light in the darkness, as if it could ignite the entire venue at any time.
Wu Li stood on the stage, holding a small golden hammer, her voice was loud and infectious:
"Dear guests, the first auction item tonight is the little fire dragon with green qualifications. The starting price is two million!"
As soon as he finished speaking, people in the hall on the first floor began to bid.
Their voices rose and fell, some were high-pitched and passionate, as if they were about to break through the clouds; some were low and steady, like a stable boulder. Everyone was eager to get this little fire dragon with unlimited potential. The price rose rapidly and soon exceeded three million.
However, just when everyone thought the price would continue to soar, the people in the box on the second floor finally spoke up.
Although their voices were not loud, they carried an unquestionable majesty. Every time someone on the second floor made a bid, the price would jump significantly.
"Four million!" A clear female voice came from the second floor.
"Four and a half million!" Then, a deep male voice sounded.
As prices continued to rise, the people in the lobby on the first floor began to feel overwhelmed.
Although they were full of desire for Charmander, facing the wealthy buyers in the boxes on the second floor, they could only watch and sigh helplessly.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in Box 8 also spoke up. He raised the sign in his hand and said calmly, "Six million."
As soon as the price was announced, the entire venue fell into a brief silence.
Everyone in the lobby on the first floor was talking to each other. They knew that the price was far beyond their affordability, and they could only watch the little fire dragon being snatched away by the buyer on the second floor.
Wu Li also showed a look of surprise. She looked at the middle-aged man in Box 8, then at the other buyers in the boxes on the second floor, and seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.
Finally, she raised her gavel and announced loudly:
"Six million once, six million twice, six million three times! Congratulations to the VIP in Box 8 for successfully bidding on the green-qualified Charmander!"
As the auctioneer's hammer fell, the venue instantly erupted in warm applause and cheers.
The middle-aged man in Box 8 smiled faintly, while the people in the lobby on the first floor could only continue to pay attention to the next auction items with regret and envy.
Wen Qi felt a sense of loss when he saw Charmander being bought by the middle-aged man in Box 8.
He originally wanted to bid, but seeing the price was so high, he finally gave up. He sighed helplessly, shook his head, and felt that he was still too poor.
