Chapter 1483 The Finale of the Finale
In the promotion of the auction, the essence and blood of the most supreme exotic beast is the final highlight.
However, just after the auctioneer announced the ownership of the essence and blood, a middle-aged man came up and whispered something to him.
All the bidders have stood up and are ready to leave.
Many people have no intention of participating in the final auction, they just want to witness it - at least to open their eyes, right?
But at this moment, the auctioneer knocked the hammer and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet!"
He said with great excitement, "We are adding another item to the auction now. I believe you will not be disappointed."
"Yes, this is good news that comes late and is a bit sudden."
"But I hope everyone can calm down for a minute. Please trust me and trust our auction house."
"This kind of item is more worthy of being the finale treasure... So, what kind of treasure will it be?"
"Of course, if anyone has no confidence in our auction house, you can leave now, but I believe you will regret it..."
"I believe many people want to know what kind of treasure it is, but I want to ask, do you have enough money in your account?"
"Are you fucking done yet?" A cold snort came from a private room. "Hurry up and tell me. You can't afford to waste my time!"
"Okay," the auctioneer smiled awkwardly, "I'm just trying to liven up the atmosphere... to attract everyone's attention."
"In fact, I think that we should have enough respect for this treasure, and it is necessary to introduce it for a longer time."
"We at the auction house believe that there was not enough time to promote this treasure before the auction, which is very..."
"Are you fucking done yet?" A roar came from another private room, "Don't you want to do this anymore?"
"Can an introduction be so lame...are you trying to save your life?"
Upon hearing this, the auctioneer could only smile awkwardly, "Well, this is a magic weapon... Yes, you heard it right..."
"This is a magical instrument, a complete magical instrument..."
With a loud bang, the whole place went into an uproar; no one could hear what the auctioneer said.
After a long while, the auctioneer finally picked up the hammer and struck it seven or eight times in a row. "Silence, silence, silence!!!"
Simply put, a complete magic weapon was temporarily sent for auction, which is no ordinary operation.
But the auctioneer did not give a detailed explanation.
He just said that before this, there was indeed a plan to send this magic weapon for auction, but in the end the owner of the magic weapon chose to give up.
The auction was promoted for three months, during which time some lots were added and others withdrawn.
However, this magic weapon has never been promoted. As you can imagine, this is a big loss for the owner of the magic weapon.
But even so, the magic weapon finally appeared at the auction site. This feels... quite weird.
A cold snort came from a box, "Aren't you worried about the alliance's tax investigation?"
This was already a rather impolite accusation - such a hasty auction was clearly suspected of money laundering.
The auctioneer answered without hesitation, "For such a large auction, the tax authorities will definitely be keeping an eye on it. We mainly conduct judicial auctions!"
Since the items being auctioned mainly belong to bankrupts, there is indeed less suspicion in this regard.
Moreover, the auctioneer announced that the auction would be suspended for two hours to allow participants to prepare money.
Of course, if anyone wants to give up participating, they can leave now.
Some people even complained loudly that this amount of time was not enough.
As a result, the auction venue immediately invited two bank representatives - as long as you can prove your strength, you can get a loan on the spot.
The auction company is willing to act as guarantor.
It is obvious that the organizers have demonstrated a certain strength and sincerity - this is also closely related to their income.
But no matter what, this temporarily added auction is still a bit weird.
Two hours later, the auction continued and the much-anticipated magical weapon was brought up on a tray.
Lifting the cloth covering the tray, there was a transparent cover inside, and inside the cover was an indigo-colored...hairpin?
The tip of the hairpin is not very sharp, and the whole thing is slightly crystal-like.
Inside the hollow end is a round bead, which is simple yet exquisite.
The auctioneer said that this was a lethal weapon, but he said he was not in a position to disclose the killing method and effect.
This situation is quite rare. Since it is going to be auctioned, how can we not introduce the items?
There was no pre-publicity in the early stage, and there is no detailed introduction now. Do they want to sell it or not?
However, the auctioneer made it clear - precisely because it was a magical instrument, and considering the interests of the buyer, it was not convenient to say too much.
"...When the auction is over, if the final winner wants a detailed explanation, it won't be too late to introduce it then!"
That's not bad, but no matter how you put it, I always feel that this auction is a bit too casual.
The reserve price for the auction is 200 billion Alliance Coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 10 billion.
Inside the auction hall, there were muted discussions everywhere - there was nothing that could be done, this item was truly beyond everyone's expectations.
But Qu Jianlei and the other nine just looked at each other, and no one spoke for a long time.
Finally, Jing Yuexin hummed softly, "What a Wu Zhen!"
It turned out that this item was one of the four magical instruments that Wu Zhen introduced to them.
This magical hairpin was originally in the hands of a gold-attributed supreme being, but it was said that this person failed in his attempt to reach the supreme level thirty years ago.
According to Wu Zhen's introduction, although the strength of this supreme being had not declined much, he was still injured and was not young anymore.
Even if it is a normal purchase, the probability of obtaining a magic weapon from this person is not low.
Who would have thought that he would appear at an auction so suddenly?
No matter what, the reserve price of 200 billion yuan left Qu Jianlei and his team with nothing to do but watch quietly.
The others were also very quiet. It was five minutes later that someone finally called out the bottom price.
After another three or four minutes, someone added 10 billion. The entire auction hall was silent and most people could only watch.
The auctioneer was not in a hurry and even added a clause, saying that he would continue to inquire about the price five minutes after the offer was made.
The scene was like a pool of stagnant water, terribly quiet, which showed that the bidders this time were really weaker.
However, in this silence, the bidding was rising little by little.
The amount of each price increase never exceeded 20 billion, and at most 16 billion.
But the price is rising slowly and steadily.
More than an hour later, the dust finally settled and the magic weapon was sold for 410 billion.
The successful bidder was in a small, inconspicuous box, and it seemed that... he had not bid on other items before.
Someone wanted to use his mental power to sense who was inside, but ended up triggering an alarm.
This prompted a warning from the auctioneer, "We are all people of status, please respect yourselves, there are mental sensors in the venue."
"It's okay for the first time, but it will happen again... I hope everyone will not underestimate our determination to protect the interests of our guests!"
When the auctioneer announced the end of the auction, the scene was completely silent.
However, after leaving the auction hall, the noise suddenly became louder.
Everyone was so shocked just now that they didn't even dare to breathe.
Who would have thought that an auction with an original bidding price of over 20 billion yuan would actually have items worth over 400 billion yuan?
At this moment, someone approached Hua Xiezi and the other two and asked in a low voice, "Do you still want that starship?"
Flower Scorpion also put away those fanciful thoughts and nodded calmly, "Of course."
Since the bid for the Ningying Pill failed, buying the starship would be easy.
What is rare is that the other party actually asked for payment in cash, which shows that there is indeed some shady operation involved.
Flower Scorpion was also smart, and expressed that it was a bit awkward to have so much cash - could he use gold to offset part of it?
The other party agreed readily, but said that gold is not cash after all, so a discount should be given.
However, Flower Scorpion pointed out coldly that with the invasion of alien races, the prices of hard currencies such as gold are also rising.
If the other party cannot give a reasonable price, she would rather choose to transfer the money...
In any case, her reaction was quite conventional, and she only paid 230 million in cash, with 500 million offset by gold.
As for the registration place of the starship, it is also very simple. Just register it with an unknown company and pay some management fees.
There are quite a few loopholes that can be exploited here.
After the transaction was completed, Flower Scorpion couldn't help but sigh, "The Alliance is weaker than the Empire, there's a reason for that."
Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently, "Not necessarily weak, but the war mobilization capability is a little bit worse."
During this process, they also determined which forces purchased the Ningying Pill and the blood essence of the exotic beasts.
The company that bought the exotic beast's blood essence was a very powerful intermediary company, which was purchasing it on behalf of a fund.
This fund has many shareholders, and among its investment targets are two research institutes, so it is not surprising that it purchases the essence and blood of exotic beasts.
And because there are many shareholders, the operation must be transparent, so an intermediary is entrusted to bid.
The company that purchased the Ningying Pill was a group company. It has been developing rapidly in recent years and is said to have the support of the Supreme Being.
There is no need for everyone to keep an eye on these two forces, just use your spiritual sense to lock them from a distance.
In Qu Jianlei's plan, that bottle of essence blood is unimportant. With the battle with alien races, it will not be difficult to obtain Nascent Soul level essence blood.
However, he had to get the Infant Condensation Pill, and he couldn't let it go just for the sake of the slap in the face that guy at the auction.
However, these two things are secondary after all. The most important thing now is... what is going on with that magic weapon?
However, the other party was on high alert, so even if his spiritual sense and micro-control were very strong, it would not be appropriate for him to pay attention to him.
So he entrusted this matter to Yi He - that guy Xizhao was a bit eccentric.
However, until late at night, Yi He still did not take the initiative to report any situation.
Qu Jianlei was not in a hurry to ask - this senior was just like that, he was very patient.
Yi He didn't respond, but late at night, the sunset started beating, "Those two families... met!"
