Chapter 309 Dark Horse
"Xiao Shuo, if you have a lot of money, you can lend it to me. Do you need such a prodigal?"
Everyone in Box No. 1 was naturally puzzled by Ouyang Shuo's behavior, but there was no one else who could say it so bluntly, except Auntie Lin Jing.
"Cough," Ouyang Shuo had to explain, "Auntie, I'm not wasting money. This village building token is definitely worth the money."
"Tell me, I can't explain why, let's see how I deal with you!" Lin Jing's profession is a knight, and his lethality is beyond the charts.
"The token is for Bing'er, and she will establish the territory."
"Is there any mistake? Bing'er is still a child, how can she become a lord?"
Bing'er, who was fighting against the fruit plate in the box, raised her head curiously when her brother mentioned her.
"Auntie, listen to me!"
Facing an impatient elder, Ouyang Shuo was also helpless.
"you say!"
"Binger can't manage the territory, but I can manage it for her. I am Binger's legal guardian. According to the system settings, the guardian can take over the ward's territory management authority until the ward reaches adulthood." Ouyang Shuo explained road.
"There is such a setting, why don't I know?" Lin Jing was dubious.
"You're not the lord, of course you don't know." Ouyang Shuo muttered in a low voice.
"Wuyi, I didn't know there was such a setting, do you know?" Bai Hua watched the two quarreling, and relieved Lin Jing amusedly.
Xunlong Dianxue and others shook their heads in unison: "I don't know!"
"It deserves it!" To them, Ouyang Shuo was not polite, and said, "Isn't there a [Lord's Notes] clause in the Lord's interface? It's clearly written in it, you're lazy, didn't you read it?!"
"I'm going, Boss, my admiration for you is like a torrent of water, that overflows... [The Lord's Notes] is long and smelly, there are more than twenty pages, and you actually finished reading it!" The siege lion is playing tricks again.
"Admiration +1!" Xunlong followed quickly.
"+2!"
"+3!"
...
"You guys are enough!" Ouyang Shuo put his hands on his forehead, why did everyone become amused.
Amidst the laughter, the auctioneer began to auction the second lot.
The second tray was uncovered, and it was a volume of ancient books.
The auctioneer said: "This is a copy of the "Chainmail Manufacturing Technical Manual". The base price is 11,000 gold coins, and the buy price is 35,000 gold coins. Please bid."
Chain mail, a very versatile armor, whether it is cavalry, infantry, or even archers, can be equipped with chain mail.
In terms of defense, the chain mail is average, but compared to the armor given by the system, it is naturally much more advanced. Therefore, chain mail caused fierce competition.
"12000 gold coins!"
"13000 gold coins!"
"14000 gold coins!"
...
"20,000 gold coins!"
"22000 gold coins!"
"23000 gold coins!"
The price of the "Chain Mail Manufacturing Technical Manual" has been rising steadily, and was soon raised to 25,000 gold coins. Only Zhan Lang and Chun Shenjun are left.
Inside the Shanhai League, Ouyang Shuo had Stepping Armor and Mingguang Armor, Phoenix Prisoner Huang had the Iron Buddha Armor, so the demand for armor was not very strong.
However, within the Yanhuang League, there is an urgent need for a set of armor forging technical manuals.
In the end, the "Chainmail Manufacturing Technical Manual" was bought by Warrior Wolf at a price of 28,000 gold coins.
It's not that Ouyang Shuo didn't think of getting a foot in the door. After all, no one would dislike a lot of armor, and chain mail still has some uses. It's just that when he thinks that he has only reached the second lot now, and he only has more than 100,000 gold coins left in his hand, it's better to be cautious.
The rhythm of the auction began to slowly reach its peak.
"The third item will be auctioned now." Pointing to the third tray, the auctioneer said, "This is a copy of the "Ming Dynasty Warship Manufacturing Technical Manual".
"Hey!" Ouyang Shuo gasped, unable to hide his excitement.
The thing he needs the most is finally on the field.
Before the Westernization Movement in the Qing Dynasty, the warship manufacturing technology of the Ming Dynasty basically represented the highest level of ancient Chinese warship manufacturing.
At that time, it was at the leading level in the world.
The most rare thing is that this is an integrated technical manual, the same as the "Song Dynasty Bow and Crossbow Manufacturing Technical Manual" that Ouyang Shuo bought at the first auction.
Mastering it means mastering all types of warship manufacturing technologies of a dynasty, or even an era, and it will comprehensively improve the shipbuilding industry of the territory.
No one can keep calm.
Among the top ten territories in China, apart from Shanhai City, the only coastal territories are Bawang County and Xunlong County located in the Quanzhou area.
Considering the influence of rivers and the tenfold expansion of the map, the waterways in China are criss-crossed, especially in the southern region, where there are countless rivers and lakes, and the role of warships is beyond doubt.
It is conceivable what kind of competition the "Ming Dynasty Warship Manufacturing Technical Manual" will cause.
In less than ten minutes, the price was raised to 28,000 gold coins.
Poor Xunlong Dianxue directly abstained. He still owes a loan from the Universal Bank. Where there is such a strong fund, he can only wait and sigh.
Fortunately, he also has a powerful ally.
"Boss, shouldn't it be time to make a move?"
Ouyang Shuo was calm and didn't rush to participate in the auction.
"hold on!"
"Are you still waiting?" Xun Long Dian Acupuncture did not believe that Ouyang Shuo would give up the auction.
Just in this gap, the pace of bidding is getting faster and faster.
"30,000 gold coins!"
"33000 gold coins!"
"35,000 gold coins!"
...
Ouyang Shuo finally couldn't calm down. The "Ming Dynasty Warship Manufacturing Technical Manual" was so important to the territorial strategy, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a lifeline.
Because I care too much, I can't be calm anymore.
"38,000 gold coins!" Ouyang Shuo offered for the first time.
Basically, this price is close to the limit that players can afford.
After Ouyang Shuo made an offer, only Xiongba was left with a chance to fight.
Xiong Ba was in his private room, and said to Ouyang Shuo from the air: "Brother Wuyi's financial resources are still as disappointing as ever." There was some bitterness in his words.
"39,000 gold coins!" Xiongba made a final fight.
"40,000 gold coins!"
Ouyang Shuo's attitude was firm, and as soon as Xiongba finished speaking, he immediately increased the price. If Xiong Ba raises the price, he will take it outright, and no accidents will be allowed.
The audience was in an uproar, and one lot sold for 40,000 gold coins, which is unbelievable when you think about it.
"Brother Wuyi, I admire it!" Xiongba sighed and raised his hands in surrender.
In the end, Ouyang Shuo bid 40,000 gold coins for the "Ming Dynasty Warship Manufacturing Technical Manual".
The final word is eye-catching.
On the contrary, Dichen breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Wouldn't Wuyi be unable to grab that item from us after this order goes down?"
Peerless Fenghua was noncommittal, and said indifferently: "Have you forgotten the first auction?"
Dichen froze, his face turned pale, and he reluctantly said: "It's different today, Wuyi has already consumed 50,000 to 60,000 gold coins, no matter how rich he is, he won't have much left, no way."
"I really don't know how he earned so much money. It stands to reason that the promotion of Shanhai City to a county city should consume a huge amount of funds. Why does he still have so much free funds?" Di Chen was puzzled.
Peerless Fenghua remained silent, which meant that she was also confused.
"Tell me, is it possible that he embezzled the funds for the construction of the territory?" Di Chen didn't believe in evil.
"Do you think Wuyue Wuyi is such a quick success?"
Di Chen dejectedly said, "No!"
There was an uncomfortable silence.
*************
Chun Shenjun's expression was inexplicable, "It's really a fate that such a clever assassin didn't keep you!"
"I hope you don't become my stumbling block, otherwise..."
Jun Shen's expression was gloomy, like a poisonous snake, watching its prey in the dark.
*************
After a short break, the auction continued.
"The fourth item will be auctioned now." The auctioneer pointed to a set of scrolls in the tray, and said, "This is a scroll of "A Qi Trainer's Hidden Job Change Scroll". After using it, you can immediately change your job to a hidden job—— Qi practitioners, the base price is 12,000 gold coins, and the price is 35,000 gold coins, please bid."
As soon as the words fell, the adventure players immediately became excited.
Qi trainer, it sounds like a very powerful hidden profession, does it matter?
Although according to Gaia's settings, there will be no sky-defying skills such as flying with a sword, but it is still very possible to cast a small spell and arrange one or two formations.
Therefore, the auction immediately entered a small climax, and the heads of various guilds made their moves one after another.
"18,000 gold coins!"
"20,000 gold coins!"
"22000 gold coins!"
...
"26000 gold coins!"
The players' blood boiled with enthusiasm, and they directly went up to two thousand and two thousand.
Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion, these gang leaders are all local tyrants.
The clapping sounded one after another, even in Box No. 1.
It was Xie Siyun, her profession was a Taoist priest, and she was in the same line as a Qi practitioner.
"30,000 gold coins!" Xie Siyun quoted for the second time.
Seeing that it was approaching the buy-it-yourself price, the frequency of quotations dropped immediately.
In the end, it was still a battle between the top ten guilds.
Except for the 【History】, which is completely composed of life professional players, no guild is willing to give up easily. Even if the guild leader can't use it himself, he can give it to the core members for use.
Just as the gang leaders were fighting to the death, an offer suddenly came out from the public area below.
"35,000 gold coins!"
It was an anonymous player who raised his card.
The atmosphere at the scene was as if the pause button had been pressed, and the sudden silence was terrifying.
In a blink of an eye, the pause button disappeared, and the players screamed.
Whether it was the public area or the players in the boxes, they all stared at the dark horse that had suddenly jumped out, wanting to see who he really was.
