Ultimate Star Card Master: Chapter 146 Auction starts
Chapter 146 The auction begins
The next day, at half past one in the afternoon.
Su Yuan and Geng Qiuyi followed the flow of people to the second floor of Tianshu Hotel.
Hunters in uniforms can be seen everywhere standing to greet and guide distinguished guests participating in the auction.
“Hello gentlemen, here is today’s auction catalogue.”
A clean and handsome male waiter handed out a pamphlet to each of Su Yuan and Geng Qiuyi.
After Su Yuan and the others took it, they entered the auction venue directly.
“What a big venue!”
Geng Qiuyi and Su Yuan came in from the door, and their eyes suddenly felt dark. Looking around, they saw hundreds of people already sitting in the huge venue.
Su Yuan looked at them for a while and said slowly: "And most of them are silver-level, and there are very few bronze-level ones."
“After all, just to qualify for admission costs 200 centimeters of star stones, which is quite a lot for an ordinary bronze-level star card master...” Geng Qiuyi turned to look at Su Yuan, “Of course, except for monsters like you.”
Su Yuan shook his head and glanced at his two tickets.
“No. 243 and 244, let’s go.”
The two of them came to the back of the venue and sat down.
Geng Qiuyi said: "There is another floor upstairs with several private rooms."
“They should be some distinguished guests, unlike us little guys.”
Su Yuan responded casually, and then swept towards the venue again.
There are many masters of the Beidou Consortium with deep auras around the sidelines who are responsible for security. They are all above silver level, there are several gold ones, and the highest two are the shining star masters.
Of course, this Tianshu Hotel is one of the important strongholds of the Beidou Consortium. There are Zhuoyang-level experts stationed there all year round. Ordinary people who want to cause trouble will definitely not end well.
As for the customers participating in the auction, many of them were similar in age to Su Yuan and others, and some were directly wearing the uniforms of the Magic City Academy.
“In addition to the star card masters in society, there are also many college students.” Su Yuan said slowly.
“Well, the scale this time is not small. In addition to the Magic City Academy, there are students coming from the surrounding Yuanzhou, Xinzhou, etc.”
Su Yuan nodded and took out the auction picture book given by the waiter at the door just now and looked at it.
“There is indeed a phoenix stone!”
Su Yuan's eyes lit up and he saw a large orange-red stone at the back of the illustration.
The patterns on this booklet were originally projected using star power to perfectly present the auction items.
At this time, the stone has a gradient from bright yellow to red from the inside to the outside, and the flames flow on the paper, lifelike.
“Well!” Geng Qiuyi was also a little excited, “That’s it!”
Su Yuan looked through the other products again, only to realize that the first product and the last three products had no clear content, only some information.
“Three final items? A star weapon from the famous weapon refining master in Magic City, the star core of a rare star beast, and a top-level enhanced star card of blue quality.”
Looking at the auction picture book in his hand, Su Yuan thought secretly.
Based on these descriptions and values, we can roughly guess the general situation of these three final items.
First of all, the top enhanced star card should be a T1 level blue star card, otherwise it cannot be used as the finale.
However, I already have the Great Sun Burning Body Technique, so I have no need to strengthen the star card.
Secondly, the star weapon must not be a purple epic star weapon. It is too precious and can be placed in the high-end field as the finale item.
On the Blue Sea Star, those who refine blue star weapons are called masters, and those who refine epic star weapons are called grandmasters.
Since this star weapon was made by a master refiner and is not an epic star weapon, it can only be a blue star weapon of excellent quality.
I was originally here to take photos of the Phoenix Stone to build a blue star device. No matter how good a blue star device appears, it has nothing to do with me, unless it is a star device with space attributes.
“As for the star core of a certain rare star beast…”
Su Yuan frowned slightly, it was hard to guess.
In the lower three levels, master star beasts are already very rare.
Coupled with the issue of extraction probability, two or three master star cores may not be able to extract a blue star card, which makes the blue card even rarer and more valuable.
So even the value of a gold-level master star core is at most about the same as an ordinary blue star card.
Logically speaking, it cannot be the finale.
“Rare star beasts, how rare they are…”
Su Yuan was just thinking when the lights in the venue suddenly changed and gradually focused on the front of the venue.
“Here it comes!” Geng Qiuyi’s eyes lit up and he whispered.
Su Yuan nodded and looked up at the table in front of him. A classically beautiful woman in her twenties or eighties walked onto the table in front of the club.
This woman has an oval face, is dignified, and has a generous manner. She is wearing an elegant and generous white ceremonial robe. She has a unique temperament and attracts the attention of everyone on the court as soon as she comes on the stage.
And more importantly, she did not hide the fluctuations of star power in her body, and she was a gold-level master!
“Good afternoon everyone, I am Chen Junyan from the Beidou Consortium, responsible for hosting this auction.”
The woman bowed and bowed, and then introduced:
“There are a total of 48 lots in this auction. Some of them come from famous weapon refiners, some from hidden sects, some from secret realms that have been opened for several years, and some even come from the northern countries!”
Hearing this, some people were already talking in low voices.
“There are actually foreign things, the Beidou Foundation is really not simple!”
“Well, there were very few items from other countries in previous auctions.”
…
Chen Junyan introduced the auction content and rules in detail, and finally said with a smile: "If you don't have enough star stones in your hands, you can apply to exchange them with our Beidou Consortium on the spot.
Star cores, star cards, materials, intelligence, antiquities...anything of value can be used. We will have professional staff to identify it and give you a price that will satisfy you.
Okay, I believe everyone is here to see the baby, not to listen to my nonsense.
I won’t say much more. Next, let’s take a look at the first treasure of this auction...the Golden Phoenix Pecking Jade Knife! "
As soon as Chen Junyan finished speaking, two beautiful waitresses in their early twenties and wearing black dresses brought things up on silver trays.
It was a short sword carved from gold and jade, about a foot long. There was a pattern of a golden phoenix striking the sky on the blade, which made people feel a little sharp and dazzling even when viewed from a distance. Chen Junyan took the dagger and looked at the people on the field and said: "I think many people may think that this dagger is flashy when they see its super gorgeous appearance, but in fact..."
Chen Junyan took a fist-sized piece of second-grade black-water steel from the silver plate of another waitress next to her. She picked up the dagger and slashed it, easily cutting off the entire piece of black-water steel.
“So sharp!”
“Isn’t blackwater steel famous for its hardness? Why did it get scratched in one go?”
“Normal blue star weapons can never do it!”
…
Chen Junyan's move shocked everyone in the auction hall, and they all carefully looked at the Golden Phoenix Dagger in her hand.
Although Chen Junyan is a gold-level player, there are also many gold-level players in the field, including several sitting at the front.
Chen Junyan did not use star power just now, nor did she exert much force. However, the piece of black water steel, which is not low in hardness among secondary materials, was smoothly cut open by the Jinfeng dagger like a piece of tofu!
“It’s a blue star weapon right from the start!”
Su Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. This was definitely a blue star weapon, and it was a quite extraordinary blue star weapon!
Geng Qiuyi also looked solemn. Although he thought that he might bring something good to the auction to liven up the atmosphere, he did not expect it to be such a good thing.
For a star card master, sharpness is definitely one of the most critical basic attributes of a weapon!
Even if there are no other characteristics, this point alone makes this golden phoenix-pecking jade knife worthy of being among the top-grade blue star weapons!
Chen Junyan saw the discussion going on. After waiting for a moment, she smiled and said: "This Golden Phoenix Pecked Jade Sword was made by Liu Izuyun, the former genius refiner of the Demon City Academy and the current rising star refiner of our Beidou Consortium. .
It is made from the main materials of lead, agarwood, gold and broken gold and jade, with a little bit of extremely rare gold and phoenix blood. It is a blue star weapon that takes its "sharpness" to the extreme. It can blow hair and break hair, break gold and jade, completely No more words! "
Everyone in the audience nodded secretly.
“It’s no wonder that Master Liu Izumo’s works are of an elegant and gorgeous style, and are deeply loved by female star card masters..."
“This golden phoenix-pecking jade sword is not only liked by female star card masters... With such a high sharpness, it is considered the best among blue star weapons. It is worthy of being the runner-up in the last national college weapon refiner competition!
“It seems that the Flower series of satellites launched by Beidou not long ago was also his handiwork. He is probably waiting for today’s opportunity to promote them together.”
…
Su Yuan and Geng Qiuyi are not from the Magic City, so they don’t know them very well.
However, when I heard people talking around me, it was obvious that the weapon-refining master named Liu Izuyun was very famous.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Chen Junyan said at the right time: "The golden phoenix pecking jade knife that destroys gold and cuts jade, the starting price is 500 cents, and each increase in price must not be less than 20 cents!"
This starting price is slightly higher than that of an ordinary blue star card, and can be said to be very low. Even the worst blue star device has to be thousands of centimeters!
However, in most auctions, the starting price is very low, and the resulting price is much higher than the actual price.
Of course, there are reasons for this that are influenced by the bidding atmosphere at the auction.
But more importantly, the items taken out at the auction, regardless of their quality, are indeed rare items that are relatively rare in ordinary times.
Otherwise, I would just buy it in the mall, and I wouldn’t come to the auction to bid with others.
At this time, as soon as Chen Junyan finished speaking, someone immediately made an offer.
“500 cents!”
“600 cents!”
“800 cents!”
…
“1800 cents!”
Not long after, the price was pushed to 1800 cents.
And 1800 centimeters is almost the price of a better blue star device.
After reaching this price, fewer people bid for the Golden Phoenix Pecking Jade Knife.
Judging from the quality of the Golden Phoenix Pecking Jade Knife, it is definitely more than this price, at least 2200 cents is worth it.
It's just that the Golden Phoenix Pecking Jade Sword is a short sword after all. There are relatively few people who use short swords among Star Card Masters. After all, every inch is short and every inch is dangerous. If you lose your life, you will lose everything.
There are only three people still competing, namely a dark-faced middle-aged man wearing a black robe, a petite girl, and another middle-aged woman.
The three of them looked at the golden phoenix pecking at the jade knife on the stage, with a lot of burning eyes.
But even though he wanted to, he became increasingly cautious about raising prices.
“1850 cents!”
“1900 centimeters!”
“1950 cents!”
“2000 cents!”
…
At this moment, a rather clear and pleasant voice came from the box upstairs:
“2200 centimeters!”
This person actually raised the price by 200 cents!
Suddenly, the three people who had just bid fell silent, and their expressions were not very good.
Geng Qiuyi smacked his lips and said, "The people in Magic City are really rich."
Su Yuan smiled and said: "After all, this is the economic center of Dayan. Of course, there are many more rich people than our remote monsters."
On the stage, Chen Junyan originally thought that it was almost done. Unexpectedly, a VIP in the box suddenly participated in the bidding and raised the price significantly. She couldn't help but feel happy and greeted excitedly:
“VIP No. 2 bids 2,200 cents! Is there any other distinguished guest willing to bid 2,200 cents?
The golden phoenix pecks at the jade, destroys the gold and breaks the jade with the sword. For the star card master who takes the assassin route, he is definitely the best weapon! "
The dark-faced middle-aged man and the little girl struggled for a while and finally gave up the idea.
However, the middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and said again: "2300 centimeters!"
“2500 cents.” Box No. 2 spoke almost immediately, as if this amount of money was nothing in his eyes.
The middle-aged woman looked towards Private Room 2, sighed, shook her head and stopped bidding.
“2500 cents for the first time,”
“2500 cents for the second time…”
“The third transaction for 2,500 cents!”
Chen Junyan was happy but also a little regretful. If the middle-aged woman raised the price again, the people in Box 2 might scream again.
Chen Junyan put the Golden Phoenix Pecking Jade Knife back on the plate, handed it to the guest in Private Room No. 2 by the waitress, and then started the auction of the next item again.
“Next, we continue to auction the second item, a green quality spear with penetrating properties...”
