Chapter 298: Being fought over to use the card
Translator: 549690339
The auction venue was brightly lit, and melodious music reverberated continuously.
On a luxuriously decorated stage, a young man in a tuxedo walked to a table and looked around with a smile.
After a period of training, this young man could already calmly deal with the situation in front of him, his movements free and easy.
With a smile on his face, he said in a magnetic voice, ” “Welcome, everyone, to the Holy Dragon auction house. This is the first time our auction house is open for business!
In order to thank everyone for coming, the city Lord has decided to give you a 10% discount on all the items up for auction tonight.
For tonight’s auction, our Holy Dragon city’s auction house has collected a large number of treasures. I guarantee that everyone will return with a full load.
I believe that everyone is most concerned about how many application cards will be put up for bidding?
now, I can tell you that there are a total of twenty sets of application cards for sale tonight. Each set of cards includes two cultivator skill cards, two Holy master skill cards, and one storage card!
It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity, I hope everyone will participate in the bidding.
I hereby announce that the first auction of the sacred Dragon auction house has officially begun!”
As the auctioneer’s voice fell, two girls immediately carried a glass display case up.
Through the clean glass cabinet, these foreign merchants saw an exquisitely-made double-barreled hunting gun, which was beautifully decorated.
These foreign merchants were all experienced and knowledgeable people, and they immediately recognized that it was a flintlock.
In fact, there were cultivators who used Goblin flintlocks in these caravans, and they were once proud of it.
However, ever since they arrived at Holy Dragon City and saw the flintlocks of the Holy Dragon city’s soldiers, they never took out these Goblin flintlocks again.
Compared to the flintlocks of the Holy Dragon City Warriors, their Goblin flintlocks were almost like fire sticks!
After witnessing the power of the automatic rifle, these foreign merchants also offered a high price to sell a few of them for self-defense.
The price of a few thousand brain beads might scare away ordinary cultivators, but it was nothing to these foreign merchants!
Unfortunately, the automatic rifle was not for sale. No matter how much the foreign merchants wanted it, they couldn’t buy a single part.
Many foreign merchants had been brooding over this matter.
They didn’t expect that there would be flintlocks for sale at tonight’s auction, which made the foreign merchants who had been eyeing the automatic rifles very excited.
“Whether it’s for personal use or as a gift, you must buy it.”
While the foreign merchants were making up their minds, the auctioneer had already taken out the flintlock and started a brief introduction.
“This is a double-barreled grapeshot gun arranged up and down. It’s loaded in the middle, and it’s loaded with two bullets at a time and 100 Bullets.
This weapon was very powerful. When shooting at a level 2 monster, it could kill it in one shot if it hit a vital point!
Regardless of its power or appearance, this weapon was extremely outstanding!
The starting price of this gun is 2000 Yuan. Please make your bids now!”
As soon as the auctioneer’s voice fell, someone impatiently began to bid.
“2100 Yuan!”
“Two thousand one hundred and fifty Yuan!”
“Two thousand three hundred Yuan.”
“……”
The final auction price of the double-barreled shotgun was 5900 Yuan, which was bought by a foreign merchant with yellow hair.
The second item was a unique mo weapon that was quickly sold.
Then, the third and fourth pieces of Kasaya were revealed.
More and more items were being auctioned off, and the application card that everyone had been waiting for finally appeared.
Looking at the application cards in the box, the eyes of the foreign merchants turned red, and they rubbed their fists and palms, waiting to bid.
Among those application cards, the most valuable one was the storage card, which had great research value.
When these cards were brought to the high-level city in the distance, it would definitely cause a sensation!
Although the practitioner’s skill application card wasn’t as valuable as the storage card, it was still a good thing that was hard to come by.
“I believe that everyone already has a clear understanding of the application of the card, so I won’t waste any more words.
The first set of cards has a starting price of 500000, with each increment of 10000. Please make your bids!”
After the auctioneer said this, the foreign-race merchants continued to bid.
“Five hundred and ten thousand!”
“Five hundred and twenty thousand!”
“……”
“One million!”
After the first set of cards was sold for one million, the second set was sold for 1.2 million.
Then, it was the third and fourth groups.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely lively, with laughter and sighing from time to time.
When all twenty sets of application cards were sold, he had obtained a total of more than 20 million brain beads!
In the VIP lounge on the second floor, Tang Zhen also felt a little surprised after learning of this number.
Tang Zhen spent a total of nearly 500000 brain beads to buy these application cards, but in the end, he got 40 times the return!
This kind of enormous profit, even Tang Zhen was unceasingly moved.
However, Tang Zhen was also very clear that this kind of price wouldn’t last long. After a few auctions, the price of the application card would gradually decline.
The rarer something was, the more valuable it would be. The greatest value of those application cards lay in their research. In the period when they had just appeared, there weren’t many rich people who would use them in battle.
What Tang Zhen paid attention to was actually the huge market of ordinary cultivators with unlimited potential!
At that stage, the price of the application card was too high, and ordinary cultivators couldn’t afford it.
Only when its price dropped would it be possible for ordinary cultivators to use it.
No matter what, the Holy Dragon City now had a new source of income. For at least one or two years, the application card would provide the Holy Dragon City with an endless stream of brain beads!
With the income of these brain beads, Tang Zhen could start some of his plans.
The first thing he had to build was a huge rebirth altar that covered an area of 100000 square meters.
This altar required a large number of brain beads to be embedded to build a huge Soul transmission array.
After it was completed, it could receive the soul that was bound to the altar and receive the soul signal from the original world.
The altar would store the soul fluctuation information of the bound person. After the bound person died, the soul could be instantly recalled by the altar.
These souls would be protected by the altar, waiting to enter a new body and complete a rebirth process.
Tang Zhen estimated that in order to complete this altar, he would need to invest at least 100 million brain pearls!
This was definitely a big project. Apart from not having to worry about the site and Tang Zhen being able to use the [ terrain transformation plug-in ] to complete it, all the other work had to be done manually!
Based on the scale of the altar, it would take at least a year to complete the construction even if they started now!
Other than building the altar, Tang Zhen also needed to cultivate a large number of bodies, purchase large amounts of ore materials for forging mo weapons and equipment, as well as medicinal herbs and strange items from other regions.
No matter which task it was, it required a large amount of brain matter!
It was also because of this reason that Tang Zhen still felt that he did not have enough money to spend even though he had countless brains!
Fortunately, Holy Dragon city’s development had already entered the right track. After the business district opened, it would bring Tang Zhen a continuous stream of income.
When the Holy Dragon city’s commercial district became famous in the wilderness and countless caravans rushed here, Tang Zhen no longer had to worry about his brain!
