Mecha tentacle time and space

The auction was held as scheduled. Early in the morning, Fang Rui and his party got on the mechanical carriage and arrived at the entrance of a splendid-looking guild hall.This guild hall is also the building that the underground black market exposes on the ground-it is only open in the early stage of each auction.

The members of the Ley family were not with them. Although they had been tacitly recognized as supporters of Essjoni, after all, they still wouldn't get too close to him on the surface.

Otherwise, it will leave a bad impression on the old general.

After entering the door, Essjoni was already waiting in the VIP room, Fang Rui and Case were ushered in, while Lan Zhu and Wolf were waiting outside.

"Hey, it's really early for you guys," said Estyoni.

Fang Rui smiled: "Good morning, Essjoni."

Case also looked at Esjoni.

Esjoni already understood the way to get along with the brothers, and he still had a smile on his face: "The ten o'clock auction will be held on time, why don't we go down first?"

yes, go down.

Even though the guild hall that receives visitors is on the ground, the real auction place is still underground.This is also some kind of unwritten tacit understanding.

Fang Rui had no objection - he had been curious about this auction for a long time.

When he was in the Ailan Empire before, he had also participated in some with his elder brother, which were relatively ancient bidding and three-hammer trading.In many cases, the warm and barbaric atmosphere is subtly similar to the underground black market.This is probably because success or failure is judged based on strength—it's just that the Ailan Empire is even more naked.

After arriving in the federation, I hardly heard the news of the auction, after all, it was in the academy.Some commonly used items are sold on the virtual network, and Fang Rui didn't have any special needs for the rarer items that could only be found at auctions.

So Fang Rui didn't know what the auction would look like in the federation.

Therefore, Fang Rui will be very interested in the auction in Heiyan City - is it similar to Ailan, or... maybe it will be a type of federal auction that he has never seen before?

Directly descending from the private elevator in the VIP room, the foothold is still a VIP room, connected from top to bottom, this is probably the special treatment for people in the general's mansion.

Fang Rui didn't show any fuss, which made Esjoni even more speculative about his origin - it seems that the Fang brothers used to have a high status.

The auction here has indeed overturned Fang Rui's previous cognition.In the previous auctions he had participated in, although there were still different levels of distribution, except for a few privileged classes, most people still stayed in the same hall.You have to wait for the host's opening remarks and stir up the atmosphere, the excitement is very lively, but there will also be many headaches and emergencies - those people in the Ailan Empire are not as civilized as Fang Rui's first life Be polite.

However, in the auction of the underground black market in Heiyan City, all the people were assigned to rooms of corresponding size and comfort according to the different levels of the invitation card. In each room, there was also a simple optical computer.

Sitting on the same sofa as Kai Sisai, Fang Rui looked at the heir to the quasi-general: "Esjoni, you didn't bring anyone else besides us?"

It would be a bit more reassuring to share a room with them without even a servant.You must know that there are four people on Fang Rui's side, so it's really easy to do something to him.

But Esjoni smiled: "Even if I bring ten or eight people with me, Fang Rui, I think your elder brother can easily get rid of them." Why don't you show your trust in your partners and add the following Mutual favorability.He turned his face amusedly again, "I can't let an army crowd here, can I?"

Case's expression was paralyzed, but his ears were quietly waiting for his brother's answer.

Fang Rui also smiled, without hesitation: "Of course my elder brother is the most powerful." In fact, it doesn't matter even if there is an army, but it's hard to say it bluntly - otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Keith kept his half-hugged brother in the same posture, and his mood suddenly became very good.

Fang Rui grabbed his elder brother's hand, playing with his fingers while staring at the light brain.

Even the form of the auction here is different from what Fang Rui has seen before.

It is directly auctioned with the optical brain, that is to say, everything is passed through the virtual network.

Fang Rui was suddenly curious: "Ace Johnny, if we use the optical brain to bid, how do we use the currency cards in our hands?" It's not necessary to enter the account password or the like.

Esjoni smiled and pointed to an instrument next to the optical brain, which had obvious grooves: "After taking pictures of the item, you must insert the coin card there within 10 minutes, and the optical brain will directly extract the information from the coin card. Deduct the corresponding contribution points."

In order to avoid not having enough contribution points for a coin card, there were even five grooves on that instrument.

Fang Rui nodded, refreshed his understanding of the thoughtfulness of the underground black market.

Soon, the auction will begin.

The light brain burst out with a burst of light, and the next moment, it threw a three-meter-wide and two-meter-high light wall in front of everyone, covered with a variety of items.

"Dear guest, Optical Brain 32 is at your service." The voice of Optical Brain Machine sounded, "The first batch of items to be auctioned, [-] pieces, please choose to bid, and the auction will end in one hour."

This first round of auction turned out to be a batch auction.

Fang Rui was a little dazed, this was really the first time I saw it.

Esjoni has already ordered with great experience: "Optical brain 32, put out the objects to be photographed in order."

Guangnao replied: "Of order, honorable guest."

As a result, a piece of leather with thick and long hairs appeared on the wall alone, the whole body was white, and the texture was quite soft and smooth.

Next to it, there is a black text about the size of a thumbnail floating, introducing the source, purpose, quantity, etc. of the fur.And under the fur there is a golden handwriting, marking the reserve price: [-] contribution points.

At the same time, there are vertical columns of silver data below the golden writing, each data is larger than the value of the data above, and the silver data column is still extending downward.

Obviously, the silver data means that people in other rooms are bidding.

Fang Rui looked at it and found it more and more interesting.

Case lowered his head: "Ari wants it?"

Lan Zhu had already sent a Bika to Case with a wink.

Esjoni has seen a lot, and obviously this is not the first time he has seen such a fur, so he smiled and said, "It's rare to find such a large fur of a snowy long-haired bear."

This kind of bear is a strange beast that grows in the snow field, and they almost dominate the world on the ice field there.An adult snowy bear is five meters long and three meters high. It is a rare giant beast with long fur and thick fur. Simple cold weapons can't easily pierce its fur defense.

What's even more unbelievable is that the Snowy Shaggy Bear is huge, but not clumsy. The difficulty of killing an adult is about the same as that of an ordinary person fighting a mecha with his bare hands.Therefore, although the fur of this kind of strange beast is the best warm material, it is rarely available to people.

Another thing that increases the difficulty of catching is that they live in groups.

Usually a male beast and five or six female beasts form a group, but reproduction is difficult, and it takes almost eight or nine years or even longer to produce a cub.So a group of long-haired bears in the Snow Region is no more than ten or so.

Cubs are brought up in herds for the first three years of their life, before being kicked out after three years.

Therefore, the long-haired bear skins that can be obtained are often owned by cubs or dying adults.The hair of the former is not long enough and the quality is not as good as that of an adult, and the fur of the latter becomes hard and is not suitable for clothing.But even so, it's hard to get.

The fur being auctioned now comes from the fur of a cub, so although it is precious, it does not reach the level that everyone wants-of course, its characteristics still make it a very good warmer.There will be dozens of people bidding.

Esjoni quickly finished introducing this strange beast, and Fang Rui listened with gusto.He doesn't have much interest in the pup's hide, but he's not going to pass up an opportunity for insight.

But Case, he thought of his younger brother's "weak" body, and became interested in the adult snowy long-haired bear.

My brother may want to go for a walk in the future, and it is inevitable that he will encounter very cold conditions. If I can replace all my brother's warmth with this kind of fur...

Fang Rui didn't notice what his elder brother was thinking, but began to look at the second auction item intently. It was a beautiful-looking ore, which should be very suitable for grinding into precious jewelry.If it is a woman, it must be flocking to it.

There were more bids this time, probably because there were a lot of beauties who spent a lot of money.But the people present were not interested—or Fang Rui had looked at it twice, but when he saw the performance of this ore, he curled his lips and let go.It doesn't meet the "taste" of the big brother at all.

In other words, not hard enough.

The following [-] auction items were also displayed one by one in order. During the period, Essjoni took a platinum gemstone brooch. When Fang Rui and others looked over it, he smiled and said, "Lingli is also mine. Little sister, it's good to bring her some small gifts back home."

Fang Rui understood in an instant that this was showing his affection to the Lai family, and comforting the little girl Lingli whose first love died prematurely.

An hour passed in the non-stop introduction of the optical brain, and when there were 5 minutes left, the Esjoni optical brain re-adjusted the page to the platinum brooch.

As expected, the silver bidding bar at the bottom has risen again, and the price of Estoni, which was already ranked first, has now been pushed down to below the third place.

Esjoni raised the corners of his mouth, unhurriedly quoted a price again, and then smiled and said to Fang Rui: "These 5 minutes are the last round of bidding, and it is also a small peak of the auction. I really want to get any price." item, you have to keep an eye on it during this period of time."

Fang Rui suddenly realized, and asked again: "If there are several things you want?"

Esjoni smiled: "Then you have to bid the maximum price you can accept from the very beginning. Or..." He ordered the light brain, "Turn to the main page."

At this time, the miniature forms of twenty items appeared on the light wall, which is equivalent to compressing twenty pages onto the same page. Of course, the handwriting is much smaller, but the data can still be seen clearly if you look carefully.

Esjoni continued to explain: "If you see a price being suppressed, after thinking about it, immediately return to the page to bid."

Fang Rui nodded.I have to say, this is really much more advanced than the auctions he has seen.

After raising the price twice more, Esjoni successfully got the item, and the optical brain reported that the contribution point had been credited, so he went to pull the coin card out of the groove.

Although this platinum brooch is handmade and very exquisite, it is just a plaything after all, and no one will stalk and compete with it in the future.

The second round of auctions continued.

It was still a bundled auction of [-] pieces, and it was still a one-hour rule. This time, Esjoni picked out a few good-quality bows and crossbows, which were highly lethal weapons.Generally speaking, it is a favorite tool for hunters who have been doing tasks outside for a long time.

The bidding was more fierce than before, but as the general's heir, Esjoni's financial resources were naturally not comparable to that of ordinary hunters, so he still got it smoothly.

Before Fang Rui could speak, Esjonny had already said: "Fang Rui, do you and Mr. Iron Leopard want to play with one too? The range can reach 30 meters. Although Mr. Iron Leopard's skills are extraordinary, but when he is out of the house, If the distance is not close and you want to attack more flexibly... this thing should also help."

Fang Rui didn't think it was really useful.

...Is there anything in this world that is more flexible and more convenient than his big brother's tentacles?

It's just that they are kind, and if you don't accept it, they think you don't want to make friends with them or are dissatisfied with your partners.

As a matter of course, Fang Rui smiled: "Then thank you very much, I just want to practice, otherwise it's not good to always hold my elder brother back."

Case stroked Fang Rui's hair and said, "Ari won't hold back."

Fang Rui rubbed against each other, knowing that this was not true, he was still very happy.Thinking about it, he should also train his individual combat ability. Although he believes that his elder brother will be able to protect him well, he also knows that he is not physically capable of fighting, but since he is a man, he should have protection to some extent. own ability.

To put it bluntly, at worst, how could he survive until his elder brother came to rescue him?Although Fang Rui never thought that there will be a time when he will be separated from his elder brother...

Esjoni further understood the good relationship between the two brothers, sighed in his heart, and put himself into more auctions again.

A person like him who has to win people's hearts all the time must be able to match what he likes.Normally, he is busy coordinating various forces and relationships, so he doesn't have time to rack his brains to find rare items. This auction is of course a very good way for him.Therefore, he rarely does not attend the auction held every three months, and he often visits the underground black market exchanges.

A total of five rounds of batch auctions of twenty pieces like this took place, and five hours passed.Lan Zhu in the middle took out the food that had already been prepared, and Esjoni didn't order anything special, but used the light to pad his stomach together.

Finally, it's time for the main event - the time for the single item auction - that is, the time for the treasure auction.

Putting it first made Fang Rui's eyes light up.

It is a four-level energy card set made by him.

Fang Rui entrusted all the card sets to Essjoni, including the price, and he believed that the other party would satisfy him.But when he saw it now, he was startled.

million contribution points.

I'm a little surprised, isn't the price a bit high?

A normal four-level energy card has 3500 energy, which is converted into about 350 federation coins, while the exchange currency circulating in Jiao Martian is contribution points, which requires about [-] pieces.

Fang Rui made a set of 100 cards, so it should be 35000 contribution points, but now he ordered [-] at once, which is equivalent to doubling.

The base price is doubled, it seems a bit...

But Esjoni's performance was normal, still smiling and elegant, so Fang Rui didn't ask any questions.If the other party thinks that the market is like this, won't he lose face in vain by bringing it up like this?

Esjoni also secretly glanced at Fang Rui's expression, but when he didn't see anything, his smile deepened.

The introduction in black is very provocative, and when observing the actual objects, the first ten energy cards are directly displayed one by one, so that guests can fully observe that the array of each card is different.

Soon, the silver bidding bar trembled, and then quickly stretched downward.

At the beginning, the changes in the data all increased by 3000 contribution points. After the entire price broke through [-] contribution points, it became [-], [-], and gradually [-].

Finally, the price stopped at 15.

After waiting for 5 minutes, no one continued to increase the price, and the optical brain immediately rang, proving that the transaction was successful.

Esjonish Shiran stepped forward, inserted a blank coin card into the groove, entered the data, and handed the card directly to Fang Rui: "This is the contribution point obtained from the previous transaction. Are you satisfied?"

Fang Rui took it over, played with it in his hand, and said with a smile, "Esjoni, thank you very much."

Seeing that he remembered his benefit, Esjoni also turned his gaze in satisfaction.

The next two auction items were also seen by Fang Rui. They were the two snake beads and two snake galls of the white-striped python they got in the dense forest last time. The former was sold at a high price of 38 contribution points, while the latter's The price is also 28.At that time, the reward for the task was a total of 20 yuan. After doing the math, the underground exchange made a net profit of at least 46 yuan. It really was a huge profit.

Snake Gallbladder Snake Orb was shot, and another set of cards from Fang Rui, a level [-] energy card.

The reserve price was set at 12, but it was finally auctioned off at a price of 39 contribution points.

After the same two auction items, Fang Ruina's six-level energy card set with a base price of 20 was sold.This time it was sold at a sky-high price of 72.

So in a short period of time, Fang Rui already held three currency cards, with a total contribution of 126 points.

For a moment, Fang Rui felt that the money came too fast, and his hands were burning.

He just had a sudden epiphany one night and did energy cards for a few hours. Although he was a little tired, the workload couldn't compare to when he was alone in a small manufacturing factory on a small planet to survive.

But on such a sudden night, he got this huge sum of money...

It's unreal, totally unreliable.

Now Fang Rui understood a little bit why it was so difficult to break through to a high-level card maker—that is, a card maker above level six—but there were still countless people struggling to get in.

But in the next moment, all his messy thoughts were thrown aside.

Because the next auction item immediately attracted all his attention.
