Chapter 161 Bidding for Earth-Level Mental Techniques (Recommendations Please)

Dusk, auction house in the east of the city.

The auction started at six o'clock, but an hour or two ago, horse-drawn carriages began to gather here. Those who can come here are naturally respectable people. Therefore, the cars are more luxurious than the other, and the horses are racing against each other. Later, some ordinary and gorgeous carriages were even too embarrassed to stop here.

Possibly taking this situation into consideration, the auction staff had already begun greeting them at the entrance. In twos and threes, nobles, wealthy businessmen, political elites, etc. came chatting and laughing, handed over invitations, and were immediately invited in politely.

"Here!" Jack, dressed in exquisite clothing, walked out of the crowd, waved his hands, and magically showed two gold-plated invitations.

Tang En took it casually, opened it and looked at it: "Atwood...well, go in."

It was naturally a joke not to let Jack eat. In fact, the two of them came here after buying a gorgeous outfit in the city and finding a luxurious restaurant for a feast.

Not everyone can enter the auction. Most of the things here are relatively expensive, so people with ordinary clothes cannot enter. Of course, this is not a rule. Everything still depends on whether you have received the invitation.

Needless to say, these two pieces in the hands of Tang En and others were naturally obtained by Jack.

Passing through the entrance and passing through a long corridor carved with beautiful reliefs, a very empty place suddenly comes into view.

Needless to say, there are seemingly casual but appropriate decorations around. What appeared most in front of Tang En were the seats. They faced the front in a semi-arc shape. There was a slightly higher platform with a one-meter-high crystal display cabinet on it. Needless to say, that should be the auction. place for stuff.

"Your Excellency, please take a seat wherever you like!" The leading waiter waved his hand.

The seats here are certainly not casual, at least not in the front row. That place is reserved for some big shots. Of course, no one will ask for trouble. They can just sit there casually.

"Jack, what are you still doing?" Tang En, who was sitting near the aisle, asked inexplicably.

"Wait!" Jack calmed down and said softly.

Tang En was stunned for a moment, but soon he knew why. At this time, a noble-looking old nobleman passed by, and Jack politely stepped aside. The other party nodded slightly to express his gratitude, and Jack quickly bent down to return the favor.

Damn it... Right under Tang En's nose, Jack took advantage of bending down and with a flash of cold light, three diamonds were dug out of the old nobleman's belt. Then he turned his hand and the blades and diamonds disappeared.

The corner of his mouth twitched twice, this guy... is really dedicated!

After the old nobleman passed by, Tang En grabbed Jack, who was still waiting in the aisle. Are you kidding? He came here to buy the fighting spirit method, and he didn't want any accidents to happen.

Grinning, Jack said dissatisfiedly: "Twain, aren't you blocking my way to make money?"

Tang En crossed his arms and looked surprised: "Oh, is there? Just go there by yourself."

"...You're cruel!" Jack looked at Tang En, who was sitting outside like a door god, with a speechless face. With his ability, it was certainly impossible to pass through Tang En's blockage.

After a while, after the big shots sitting in the first row arrived, the auction officially began.

An old man with white hair walked from behind the curtain to the crystal counter, smiled and bowed: "It's an honor to meet you all at the auction in Liva City. I am the auctioneer this time, and I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the venue. "

Bang bang bang... If you can open an auction house, your background is certainly not small. This face must be given, so everyone applauded one after another, and the thunderous applause instantly resounded throughout the venue, and the momentum was quite extraordinary.

"Thank you, thank you... Haha, okay. I won't say any more polite words. Next is the No. 1 auction item." The old man was quite sensible. He knew that everyone was not here to listen to his nonsense. Stop when you're done and get to the point right away.

"This is the work "The Redemption of the God of Light" by the art master Mitya. The length of this painting is..."

Following the old man's introduction, two beautiful women in rose-red slit robes carefully walked out from behind the scenes holding a long scroll painting.

Wow - there was a little commotion at the venue, and some people were already impatiently preparing to bid.

Taste is something that all nobles value. Even though most of them don't understand the exquisite techniques, profound connotations, etc. of this painting. But as long as you buy it and hang it in the hall, no one can praise it for its taste.

Sure enough, after the old man introduced the painting with gorgeous words and announced the lowest price. Bidding sounds came one after another, "Ten thousand gold coins."

"Fifteen thousand gold coins."

"Eighteen thousand gold coins!"

"..."

As shouts continued from every corner of the venue, the price of the paintings quickly climbed like a roller coaster.

"Tsk, tsk, you are so rich!" Tang En couldn't help but sigh.

The current price is 25,000. With so many gold coins, more than 100,000 poor people can live a good life for a month. But here, they are just a small number of nobles showing off their taste!

In the end, this master painting was photographed by a young nobleman for thirty-eight thousand gold coins.

At his age, he would most likely not be able to appreciate paintings of this kind. But looking at him saluting and thanking everyone with his face full of glory amidst the praises from around him, you can tell that he is happy... He has face, and that's enough!

After the appetizers were served, the next auction items were displayed on the stage one by one. There was a lot of miscellaneous stuff, some of which Twain had never heard of. But there is no doubt that everything is precious. This can be seen from Jack who is constantly rubbing his hands next to him... This thief nature is hard to change, and his hands are obviously itchy... Rare minerals, rare treasures, small jewelry... Until now So far, the highest price sold at auction is 88,000 gold coins, which is an amethyst pendant.

This result is not surprising. No matter which world, a woman always earns the most money, especially when she has a male partner.

The last person who got the pendant was a fat and wealthy businessman. After the successful bidding, the woman with the voluptuous figure next to him immediately screamed, leaned over and kissed the former's greasy face heavily... The auction was still going on, and there were more goodies as we went to the back. Some of Tang En were very excited, but after weighing the golden ticket in his arms, he wisely gave up the idea. Even so, he felt very unsure. He thought that three hundred thousand yuan was already a huge amount of money before, but according to the current trend, it would be too much... The big shots in the first row of the field only made very few bids, but they were bound to win every time they bid. On the one hand, this is because the prices they offer are not low, and on the other hand, it is because others are selling them face. They all hang out in this city, and they don't look up when they look down. It's not worth offending these people for trivial matters.

Finally, an hour and a half into the auction.

"Ahem!" The old man cleared his throat and said solemnly, "The next item is the last auction item."

There was some confusion immediately in the field, and the sound decibels increased instantly. Everyone knew that this should be the hard-to-find fighting spirit, and they all geared up to prepare for a battle.

The old man took a wooden box shining with unknown brilliance from the hand of the beautiful woman, opened it solemnly, and raised his hand to light up, "This is a fighting spirit method called Huanyue Jue. It was obtained by an adventure team from the ruins of the ancient city. After we Appraisal, this should be a local-level mental method."

Wow - a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone in the venue immediately became noisy. The earth-level mind method turned out to be an earth-level mind method. What does this mean? This means that as long as you have enough qualifications, you can successfully rise to the prefecture level warrior.

The power of earth-level warriors is self-evident, which can completely shock the foundation of a family. In other words, as long as this mental method is obtained, the development of the family can be strongly guaranteed.

We must get it... Tang En also shook his body at this time, clenched his fists and made an instant decision. Because when he saw this mental method, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. This mental method was definitely suitable for little Carol.

"Quiet, everyone, be quiet..." The old man shouted several times, and the place finally calmed down a little.

"Although this is a local-level mental method, there is one thing I want to point out. When I found this mental method, it was already somewhat incomplete!" The old man flipped the book and pointed to the broken page at the end. "But don't panic, there are some missing pages." It’s just the fragment behind the prefecture level.”

There are defects, which of course will affect the value of the item. But even so, this can still be promoted to the elementary level of earth-level warrior. Therefore, everyone's desire to get what they wanted was not affected at all.

"The base price is 100,000 gold coins, the auction starts now!"

One hundred thousand gold coins will undoubtedly drive away a group of people. It's not that some small families can't afford this money, but the key is that it's not necessary. There were so many rich people here, but all the photos they took were in vain. Secondly, if all the money is spent on this, will the family still develop?

Of course, more people still bid without hesitation.

"One hundred and thirty thousand gold coins!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"One hundred and eighty thousand!"

"..."

But in an instant, the price rose to 250,000.

This was the price offered by the old nobleman in the front row, and the place fell silent for an instant.

Everyone began to hesitate. The price was already very high, and it was paid by a big shot... "Two hundred and sixty thousand!"

"Two hundred and seventy thousand"

"..."

People sitting in the first row turned to look at each other, nodded and smiled. Now it's basically them fighting. At this price, the jump is no longer large, mostly rising by 10 million.

"Three hundred thousand!" It was still the first old nobleman. He turned around and said with a smile: "Viscount Winston, I remember that your family has advanced fighting skills, so don't argue with me, an old man."

"Haha, everyone wants good things. Viscount Vernal, I'm sorry!" A middle-aged nobleman with a majestic face stood up and saluted with a smile.

Compared with the south, the north generally has lower titles. In a medium-sized city like Riva City, there would always be a count in the south, but here, the viscount is the most powerful one.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

Uh... There was a sudden silence in the field, and the person sitting in front turned his head and looked back in shock.

Although the two viscounts in front of them were laughing and chatting, they didn't seem to be angry at all. But in fact, this is also a way to show strength. Those small families and wealthy businessmen can't even get in the conversation, let alone bid.

But at this moment, a voice came from behind, raising the price by 50,000 yuan in one breath, and directly shouted out a high price of 350,000 yuan.

A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and a somewhat pale complexion... He looks unfamiliar, a foreign noble? No wonder!

This man is none other than Tang En in disguise. He now only has a total of 350,000 yuan, excluding fractions. To be honest, he feels a little regretful now. If he had known this, he should have bought those gray space equipment later.

Now he put all the money in one go, just to bet that the other party would not follow.

After all, although it is true that it is an earth-level mental method, it is not as easy as some people think to practice it. Talent, qualifications, and luck are all indispensable. Just like the great nobles with earth-level mental skills, there are not many earth-level warriors in their families.

Viscount Winston was also stunned, and then gave Tang En a deep look: "I'll pay 360,000!"

"Three hundred and seventy thousand!" Perhaps due to Tang En's leadership, a wealthy businessman made another bid.

Sure enough... Tang En sighed in his heart, thinking that he was just lucky.

"I have fifty thousand gold coins here." At this moment, Jack whispered.

Um? Tang En was startled at first, and then he was overjoyed. He didn't bother to question why this guy had so much money but kept crying about poverty, so he said: "Four hundred thousand!"

Damn... Jack touched his forehead. This guy was so rude and hit a home run.

Everyone was a little speechless at this time. This man was really domineering, and the price was 50,000 yuan, which was really refreshing.

The few people in the front row hesitated when they heard this. Just as Tang En thought, they also knew the secret. Having an earth-level mental method does not mean that you have an earth-level warrior. The actual price of this incomplete mental method is probably around 380,000. But the price has been increased so far, so it would be a pity to give up.

Finally, the old Viscount Vernal spit out: "Four hundred and ten thousand!"

As mentioned before, his family did not have any good fighting skills. Now that I encounter it by chance, I won’t give it up easily.

Sigh... Jack sighed. He knew how much money Tang En had, but now it was obvious that there was no chance. Just when he was about to comfort him, Tang En suddenly stood up, took out the dagger and walked onto the auction stage.

Uh...Jack was shocked instantly. Is this going to be a robbery?

Everyone also came up with this idea at this time, and there began to be some commotion in the venue, but most people just watched indifferently, robbing at the auction? I'm tired of living.

The fact is that this is the case. The auction house is a storage place for all kinds of rare and exotic objects, so safety work is naturally the top priority. Grabbing things here, unless your strength directly sweeps the scene, is a joke.

Tang En's strength is good, but certainly not to the point of being arrogant in the world. As soon as he showed the dagger, he felt a powerful aura coming over him instantly. One of them was particularly strong. Tang En had experienced it from the silver-haired man in the bounty hunter group. It was the oppression of a peak earth-level warrior.

He simply raised the dagger and said, "Please give me an estimate!"

Oh, that's it... Everyone suddenly realized that the auction has this rule. When someone doesn't have enough money, they can use some things to estimate the value and mortgage it.

The white-haired old man was a senior appraiser. He looked through the pitted daggers and his eyes lit up: "Black meteorite iron mother, a good thing."

After pondering for a while, he said, "How about an estimate of 90,000 gold coins?"

Tang En nodded. There was no need to explain the origin of this dagger. Jack off the field knew it best. The price of 90,000 gold coins is considered fair. Of course, if it is auctioned, it should be easy to get more than 100,000 gold coins. But now that the mortgage is being made, the price will naturally not be high.

"Okay, I will offer 490,000 now." Tang En neatly piled up all the gold coins again.

"You..." Viscount Vernal almost spit out blood, you are the only one who can increase the price like this. Risk your life? This stupid young man... The situation is very clear now. Tang En only has so much money, and as long as the other party is willing to pay 500,000, he can be suppressed. But not everyone is fooling around like him. The price is obviously exaggerated. If it comes out again, it will be a battle of wills. This is the so-called taking advantage of someone!

"I'll give you five hundred thousand!" Viscount Vernal gasped and roared as if he was stimulated.

The venue was shaken again, and everyone was whispering to each other. Five hundred thousand, that's basically equivalent to a manor.

What about the battle of spirits? Instead of fighting for steamed buns, we are fighting for breath... Viscount Vernal finally straightened out his breath: "Young man, auction bidding is not like this, and money is not squandered like this. Today, even if I win!"

The age is there, the status is there. Even though he himself was squandering money now, he still said it in a calm and awe-inspiring manner.

"That makes sense! But if you have too much money, you can naturally squander it. Mr. Arthur, I support you. Is one million enough? How about two million?"
