Chapter 328 Fierce Auction and Acquisition
Because of Chu Zihang's eternal golden eyes, he always wears contact lenses outside and avoids looking at others in school. Some people may think that the president of the Lion Heart Club has a cold and aloof personality, but in fact it is his kindness.
Few people can look directly into the never-extinguishing golden eyes. This is the suppression of blood. Before the dragon blood of the mixed race reaches a certain limit, the golden eyes are only bright and noble. If it reaches the level of Chu Zihang, it will truly Show the majesty of the dragon.
Lu Mingfei was in a stronger state than Chu Zihang before. The power of bronze and fire was real. If most of the power was not used elsewhere, ordinary mixed-bloods and even pure-blood dragons would not be able to look directly at Lu Mingfei's power. The golden pupil will become paralyzed and kneel on the ground. According to legend, the dragon king's golden pupil will forever solidify a spirit, and any existence with a lower bloodline than the monarch will kneel down and offer their piety as a vassal if they look at it.
Lu Mingfei has not yet solidified his spirit of speech, but his majesty is not something that these hybrids at the venue can bear. There are almost no warriors here, all of them are high-ranking people who maintain their own identities.
The auction begins.
The opening scene is an ancient bronze vessel, with pairs of golden eyes glaring at it. In the mixed race society, bronze vessels have a different meaning. The longer their history is and the closer they are to the Dragon Clan, the more glorious they will be. As we all know, the Emperor of Bronze and Fire He is a recognized master of alchemy, so people often associate the two, bronze and alchemy. To this day, some alchemists from ancient traditions still firmly believe that bronze is the best medium for performing alchemy.
The host showed the inscriptions on the bronzes and the incomplete alchemical matrix. Although it could no longer be activated, for alchemists, every ancient matrix was of great significance. Lost technologies might be found in them. Therefore, although the bronzes were incomplete, the Still does a good job of opening it up.
Many mixed-breeds' breathing was heavy, and their golden eyes were warmer. Some people described the auction as a battlefield without smoke. They used money as bullets to fight for the collection. The violent side of the dragon blood in the mixed-breeds was revealed. The host announced the start of the bidding, and sporadically people raised placards with increasing frequency. The competitors looked around the audience. They found their opponents and used their golden eyes to demonstrate. No one backed down.
Someone was paying attention to Lu Mingfei's direction in the darkness. The S-class member of the secret party glanced at the bronze but did not raise a sign. Was he not interested? Or are there other preparations?
they mused.
A figure sat down next to him.
Between the veil and the hood, there is a pair of familiar golden eyes.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
she says.
"Well, long time no see."
Lu Mingfei said.
Lu Mingfei raised the corner of his mouth when he saw no burgundy figure around.
"What, you didn't catch it?"
"That kid can run fast."
The woman snorted.
Lu Mingfei smiled.
He picked up a grape.
"The fruit here is good, why don't you try it?"
"inconvenient."
The woman pointed at the veil.
Lu Mingfei expressed understanding.
"Let me guess, it must be the guy with bad taste."
"You must dress like this."
The woman didn't speak, she just conveyed one meaning with her eyes, "My soulmate!"
The auction will proceed step by step.
Collections came on stage one by one. The host introduced that there were pure works of art, impressionist paintings, which looked like graffiti. Lu Mingfei could vaguely feel its beauty, probably because Lu Mingfei himself was also a master of calligraphy and painting. There are fixed techniques and conventions, regardless of genre, and there are similarities between art and art.
"Nice painting."
Lu Mingfei smiled and held up his sign.
"Do you still know about oil painting?"
The woman looked at him in surprise.
"I don't know, it's just a feeling."
Lu Mingfei said.
The woman is thoughtful.
The two people here were chatting, and the person who was secretly shocked was shocked. The S-class raised his sign. What did this signal mean? The quick-to-act fish mentality, whatever it means, is to strike first.
Four people raised their placards at the same time. Less than a second after Lu Mingfei raised his placards, the host on the stage was stunned. This was the first time he had seen this scene in his long career. The four mixed-race people holding placards quickly found They communicated with each other with golden eyes, and their scorching gazes collided and tested, as if sparks were flying. Needless to say, they continued to hold up placards and bid, and the price of the oil painting soared. Gradually, many of the mixed-race people who were standing by and watching frowned and made secret calculations. Could it be that this painting has some unknown secret? Now it has obviously exceeded the price of a simple work of art. Could it be that...
Thoughts came one after another, and their expressions were solemn. Finally, except for the four families, people raised their placards one after another.
On the contrary, the first four companies slowly died down, because Lu Mingfei only raised his card once, and there was no movement after that. It seems that this painting is not the target of S Extreme, isn't it a bidding tactic? Distract us? It seems that S-class is not just a madman who only knows how to fight.
In the end, the oil painting was sold at a jaw-dropping price. If this was not a private mixed-race auction, once the price of this painting spread, it would surely shock countless people. No matter how rich you are, this is not how you spend it.
Lu Mingfei was also surprised when he heard the final transaction price. He looked around and found that the hybrid who finally took the painting had a strange look on his face. He loosened his tie and his face turned red, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle. , if it is explained by bidding, then what's the matter with the doubts and confusion on his face? Aren’t ordinary people supposed to be happy when they finally get their favorite collection after a competition?
"I've heard that mixed-race people have a fanatical interest in art, but I didn't quite believe it."
"This time I have seen it."
Lu Mingfei sighed.
"I think it has nothing to do with love or anything like that."
said the woman.
After that, Lu Mingfei also raised his cards several times. Although the scene was not as hot as the first time, as long as Lu Mingfei took action, it would definitely cause a wave of raising cards. He was like a signal. As long as Lu Mingfei took action, If you are interested, someone will immediately compete for it.
The hybrids who were secretly paying attention were careful. They acted very cautiously. They not only paid attention to Lu Mingfei, but also observed other hybrids at the venue, carefully distinguishing whether there might be any S-class companions among them.
The auction site was calm, but there were glints of swords and shadows of swords, and turbulent undercurrents.
"You seem very confident."
The woman said to Lu Mingfei.
"What's wrong with being confident? Just for fun."
Lu Mingfei peeled the apple, cut it into pieces, pierced it with a fruit knife, and put it in his mouth.
"What a waste."
The woman knew what Lu Mingfei meant. He was talking about other people's fruits, but this was an auction. The mixed breeds came here either to socialize or to bid. Whoever had the time to eat the fruits.
"The next collection is the Alchemy Notes."
Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up and he held up his sign.
Someone followed immediately.
But this time the S-class's reaction changed from before.
In the past, he would hold up the cards once, and then he would just let the other mixed-breeds grab them and get a bloody blow, while he ate the fruit leisurely.
This time, uncharacteristically, someone followed him, and he counterattacked, raising the card with a clean and neat movement that left no doubt that if the same hand held the sword, it would be able to chop the falling snowflakes in winter into two.
What a fierce momentum.
The half-breeds fell silent.
Golden pupils stared at each other in the darkness.
There is a certain emotion brewing silently.
The host struck the hammer for the first time.
This sound also shattered the silence.
Raise your sign!
Raise your sign!
Raise your sign!
It's like a racing car speeding up instantly. After a few tentative warm-up laps, the engine roars like a beast, deafening and soul-stirring.
Even the most obtuse person can detect abnormalities.
The atmosphere is so anxious.
Someone pursed their lips.
Someone took off their hat.
Someone pulled on his tie and took a deep breath.
The golden eyes glanced at that corner from time to time.
Lu Mingfei was calm and composed.
"This orange is a bit sour."
he said to the woman sitting next to him.
Raise your cards at the same time.
S-class is still following.
Their golden eyes are even hotter and hotter.
Is this it?
The alchemy manuscript on the stage attracted everyone's attention.
The host introduced that this was a mysterious manuscript with an unknown author. The knowledge recorded was so obscure that even the experts invited by the auction could not decipher it.
At first, the mixed-races had doubts about the Codex. Similar incidents had happened before. A certain mixed-race spent a huge sum of money to buy back the Codex, and after a lot of hard work to decipher it, all they got in the end was the life essays of an alchemist master. The imaginary alchemical matrix and advanced knowledge were not seen at all.
Mystery represents the unknown, and the unknown means uncertainty. The same notebook may be an unobjectionable essay, sad for spring and autumn, or it may be taboo alchemy knowledge, which is priceless.
Few people can tell the difference accurately.
If there is, perhaps, the S-class is one.
More and more people are participating in this auction.
Lu Mingfei's attitude was very firm.
No matter how many people there are, he follows them.
The determination to accept this alchemy handbook is clearly visible.
Here's where it gets interesting.
The more determined Lu Mingfei was, the more determined his hybrid was.
The price was high, the atmosphere was crazy, one after another the mixed breeds withdrew from the bidding, but there were four families who persisted in holding on, while the rest subconsciously held their breath and concentrated. The rules of the auction stipulated that each time a card was raised, the default price was one hundred thousand dollars. This was The salary of ordinary people in several years jumps up in seconds here.
Lu Mingfei frowned.
"so troublesome."
he muttered.
"Sixty million."
This time he directly asked for a price.
The venue was eerily quiet.
Lu Mingfei doubled the price in one breath.
The four mixed-race families looked at each other, undecided.
We still have funds, so it’s not that we can’t afford it, but is this true? Who can be sure that it wasn't another false shot from S Ji?
Sixty million US dollars is not a small amount.
They must take responsibility for their decisions.
Time passes minute by minute.
The host banged the hammer again and entered the final process.
Three mixed-race families grabbed the number plates, put them down again, repeated several times, shook their heads, and leaned back slumped in their chairs.
The remaining family gritted their teeth and raised their signs.
The hammering stopped.
Continue bidding.
"Aren't you going to follow?"
the woman asked.
"about there."
Lu Mingfei said.
"That's not okay."
The woman shook her head.
"We need to add more fire."
Lu Mingfei frowned, turned his head, and saw the woman holding up a sign and calling out a number crisply.
"Seventy million."
Lu Mingfei looked surprised.
"What's wrong with you?"
"After all, it is an S-level item of interest, so it must have its value."
The woman smiles.
"What do you think?"
Lu Mingfei shook his head and didn't answer.
A dark horse suddenly appeared. No one expected it, but the mixed race reacted quickly. People who seemed to have given up raised their cards one after another. It turned out that their previous performance was just an illusion and they had never given up.
The quiet scene showed signs of becoming lively again.
A basin of ice water was poured on him.
"Eighty million."
Woman holding up a sign.
All the eyes of the audience turned to look at this tightly wrapped woman. They were curious, surprised, or guessing, with all kinds of emotions.
At the same time, someone squinted and rubbed the number plate, ready to make a move.
Still want to follow?
They secretly calculated their gains and losses.
The host is about to strike the hammer.
"Ninety million."
Woman holding up a sign.
Only then did the mixed breeds realize that she had not put it down since she raised the sign last time, and it was because of this moment.
Set your own price.
It's crazy.
Although the woman at this time still covered her face with a veil, her aura was so tall, and her golden eyes looked around the audience, just like a queen inspecting her country.
The hybrids suddenly realized that she hadn't put down the number plate yet.
An idea came to mind.
really.
"One hundred million."
she says.
Silence fell.
Lower your own price, for the second time.
Could it be that this person thinks the bidding is too boring and makes it more difficult for himself?
The host's palms were sweaty.
This kind of complex that only existed in novels and movies was actually performed, and it had a huge impact on him.
Hammer.
The hollow hammering sound echoed in the venue.
The seats were obviously full, but it seemed like there were only two people left.
Lu Mingfei and her.
Three hammer blows.
The ownership of the Alchemy Codex is clear.
The staff of the auction came over with an order worth 100 million US dollars. According to the rules and regulations, they had to ask this lady to verify her financial resources, otherwise she would have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.
"Thank you for helping my sister."
She stood up and said to Lu Mingfei.
"The child has made you worry too much."
She bowed slightly.
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Lu Mingfei clasped his fists repeatedly.
"These are all things I should do, don't take them to heart."
They were chatting, and those who were interested were observing secretly. As a result, few mixed-race people noticed that the auction item on the stage at this time was a strange-looking bronze box.
The host only said that this is an unknown instrument, but it has a long history and may have great research value.
A few people raised placards, but compared to the liveliness of the last alchemy handbook, the scene could only be described as deserted.
In the end, the deal was sold for three million. Compared with the previous sky-high price of one hundred million, three million is completely demoralizing. Moreover, after the last fierce competition, the spirit of the mixed race was a little sluggish. It was a fall after the excitement. .
Some people were whispering to each other, some were drinking water, and some were secretly paying attention to Lu Mingfei.
No one noticed a girl following the staff backstage.
Lu Mingfei looked at the host and the auction objects again.
He went to get the fruit.
Someone offered to put a cherry tomato into his hand.
"Thanks."
Lu Mingfei said subconsciously.
"You're welcome."
There was a smile in this statement.
Lu Mingfei just put the cherry tomatoes into his mouth, paused, and then continued chewing.
Slowly, slowly, the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.
No need to look.
He stretched out his hand and pressed the head of the guy sitting next to him.
Knead and knead.
"It's true, brother."
the guy said.
The same tone as before.
The same sound as before.
Call him the same as before.
Lu Mingfei smiled even happier.
The guy looked very dissatisfied.
"My hair is all messed up."
The little devil complained.
