The Original Seeker
Chapter 158 Auction
The next day, the three met in the lobby.
"Mr. Bai, you are really lucky. The whole casino knows that you won the jackpot last night." Ji Xuan said with a smile.
"Three hundred thousand is not as much as the gambling amount in the VIP room."
"Hahaha……"
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward again.
"The auction house is in front. We are in the private room on the second floor, please."
The boxes are all equipped with modern facilities, and all bids are made manually by pressing buttons and then by computer programs. There is no longer a need to manually hold up placards and call out prices many years ago.
"This setting protects the privacy of each bidder and avoids most of the problems of concealment. Each person has an independent box. In the end, no one else can even know which person took the photo." Ji Xuan began to introduce. .
“Each box is equipped with a large screen, on which you can view information on all auction items of the day and high-definition close-up videos. The effect is much clearer than the physical display on the auction stage with the naked eye.
"At auctions where competitors have face-to-face communication, when both parties are interested in the same thing, conflicts will almost inevitably arise. It is even more troublesome when two second-generation people are angry. Although a war to show off wealth will make the auction The industry makes more money, but as a breeding ground for conflicts, conflicts can easily break out and then affect the fish in the pool.”
"There was no need to consider these before the emergence of ability users, but now there are many ability users with terrifying destructive power who can easily demolish houses. Most of them can be said to be power upstarts, and they all pursue the principle of 'rob with fists'. Why should we be reasonable about things?”
"In this case, it is very important to minimize conflicts in the auction house. If both parties to the conflict are users with amazingly destructive abilities, a few casual encounters will cause devastating damage to the venue. More importantly, , who would come to this dangerous place when things always happen, after all, most wealthy people are still ordinary people.”
"How about hiring some masters to watch the scene?" Bai Mo recalled that the novels he had read before seemed to do this.
"Nowadays, the value of ability users is very polarized. Guys who are one or two levels of agility and not much better than ordinary people, unless they have very special abilities, are completely worthless. And ability users of this level have already occupied the market. More than 70% of the total is basically equivalent to the combat effectiveness of a veteran carrying a personal weapon. "
"Why do you feel like you know everything?" he said with a smile.
"No, it's just because in this industry, you often need to master first-hand information in order to obtain business opportunities."
"As for those who have real strategic significance and can defeat more than one battalion of regular troops head-on, they are probably high-level ability users above the seventh level of agility. The entire Chinese country has about one to two thousand people. To be able to truly control the situation, it is indeed People with abilities of this level are needed, but their appearance fees are astonishing, not even worth it.”
"These are not things that an ordinary businessman can know."
"You are only in your twenties this year. To be one of the managers of such an underground market, there must be someone behind it. If your surname is Ji, is Ji Guangping, the Minister of Ji, your grandfather?"
"Yes, Mr. Bai, I called Grandpa last night to report the situation, and he told me to have a good relationship with you."
"There are probably fewer thugs and research coolies like me who are easy to get along with and not greedy for power than pandas." Bai Mo murmured to himself.
"What's wrong?" Ji Xuan asked.
"nothing."
"How much do you know about me?" Bai Mo brushed his long hair that was already draped over his shoulders and said, "Just tell me, I don't care."
"Grandpa didn't say anything to me. He said that the real information related to you is basically top secret, and he can't say a lot of things, so I had to look for it on the Internet, and then I found out that there had been a lot of slander against you on the Internet for two days. Almost all of it has been deleted, and there are many more versions, with conflicting information that is difficult to distinguish between true and false." Ji Xuan spread his hands and expressed helplessness.
"All the information only tells me that you are a senior researcher at a Reiki Research Institute, but there are really different opinions on what your specific responsibilities are and what your research direction is."
"By the way, are you related to the Fourth Young Master's case?"
"Fourth Young Master?"
"It's the espionage case involving Hua Wenwu and the four of them."
"Don't ask too many questions. If you know too much, they won't even let you go." Bai Mo didn't respond directly, but just threatened Ji Xuan with a smile.
"The auction officially begins below. The first item is a multicolored stone found in the secret place of the Death Desert in Xintu Province. Its purpose is unknown. It has passed preliminary inspection and is not a common known substance. The base price is 300,000, and the price will increase a lot each time. Yu 50,000." The voice on the big screen interrupted the chat between the two.
"Chen Xi, please help me take pictures of the four items No. 1, 5, 8, and No. 13."
"OK."
After explaining the matter, Bai Mo sat directly aside, constantly sorting out what he had learned in the mind crystal before, broadening his knowledge system, and at the same time, he began to compare his brain that had completed psionic transformation with that of a brain that had basically no psionic power. To understand the differences between different brains, try to find a way to achieve psychic transformation based on the rules of thumb.
After the clone appeared, he felt like he had become a dual-core processor. He could naturally handle two things at the same time, such as simply drawing a circle with his left hand and a square with his right hand, and going to the more difficult side to review the contribution point system. Users uploaded information while learning the knowledge of mind crystals, or cutting the souls of the prisoners they sent.
Chen Xi, who was busy bidding on the computer, suddenly felt as if someone was staring at him, but after walking around for a while, he found that one of the two people behind him was in a daze with his eyes closed, and the other was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, which didn't look like them.
"My brain is... and Chen Xi's brain structure is... Ji Xuan here is..." Bai Mo closed his eyes and used his spiritual mind to slowly find the essential differences between the three.
…
"The following is the fourth auction item, a Xuanji Fruit. I don't need to elaborate on the effects and related information. Ordinary people have a high possibility of transforming into an ability user after taking it, and ability users after taking it There is a great possibility of gaining a new ability. At the same time, Xuanji Fruit can also greatly enhance the immunity of the user, which is especially suitable for children who are prone to getting sick." The host tried his best to arouse on the big screen. the desires of individual buyers.
"If you start training your abilities from a young age, you will most likely become a powerful ability user when you grow up. Although the production data of the Xuanji Fruit have been leaked, the next real production time is still far away. One step first, one step at a time. First, the key is to seize the opportunity to become stronger now. The base price is one million, and each increase must not be less than fifty thousand. "
"Mr. Bai, aren't you interested in this?" Ji Xuan said from the side.
"Pfft." Chen Xi, who knew some of the truth, started to chuckle after hearing this.
