Chapter 139: Pretending to Serve the Public Good for Personal Gain, the Sky-High Price Breaks the Situation!
Boom!
"make a deal!"
"Congratulations to the guest in the box on the left for receiving an excellent grade spear - Bai Hong!"
After the popularity of the Nourishing Pill, a series of rare-grade elixir equipment such as White Soul Pill, Blood Fury Pill, and Long Sword Lunying continued to keep the popularity.
The atmosphere of the auction reached a new height again after the appearance of the excellent-grade spear Bai Hong!
Haoran Society finally won the first outstanding-grade equipment that appeared in Lingxiao Village at a price of 23,500 soul coins!
This made many of the forces participating in the auction sigh that Haoran Society was indeed the number one force in their homeland.
Even though they have just experienced a citizen campaign, their background is still surprising.
However, compared with the warm atmosphere outside, the atmosphere in the box where Haoran Club was located was a bit suffocating.
Liu Hao's expression was a little stiff, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Wang Churan stared at Zhou Ziwen coldly, waiting for Zhou Ziwen's explanation.
"Why are the deputy chiefs looking at me like this?"
Zhou Ziwen put down the bidding sign and turned around, showing an innocent and confused expression.
"Where did you get your soul coins?"
Wang Churan was not interested in beating around the bush with Zhou Ziwen and asked bluntly.
"I earned it myself!" Zhou Ziwen seemed to be unable to understand what Wang Churan meant, and said with a smile, "I forge some equipment myself to sell, does it not violate the rules of Haoran Society?"
Indeed, the soul coins on Zhou Ziwen were earned by customizing equipment for others and selling equipment.
But what about the materials of the equipment?
Everyone in the box actually already had the answer in their hearts.
Zhou Ziwen rarely left Lingxiao Village, and even if he did, it would be the strong men of Haoran Society who would take him to level up.
As a senior member of the Haoran Society, he would naturally not collect materials and iron ore.
The equipment and materials he forged for Haoran Society were all provided by Haoran Society.
In other words, Zhou Ziwen made money by casting equipment for others, but he used materials from the Haoran Society.
There must be material loss in casting equipment, and Zhou Ziwen is the most talented caster in Haoran Society.
In order to improve Zhou Ziwen's level as soon as possible.
Whenever Zhou Ziwen puts forward equipment research needs, Haoran Society will try its best to meet them.
Wang Churan, who is in charge of Haoran Society's finances, knows best.
In the past few days, the materials consumed by Zhou Ziwen alone were comparable to the normal usage of ten casters!
But the equipment he forged was only slightly more than that of a normal forger.
Those materials all became Zhou Ziwen's "research loss"!
Even the "Basic Casting" knowledge from the Hall of Merit, after Zhou Ziwen opened his mouth, Haoran Society bought it for him.
For Zhou Ziwen, Haoran Society can be said to have given its full support.
But now, Zhou Ziwen made them feel like they were cheated.
"More than 20,000 soul coins, how much equipment have you sold?"
Wang Churan didn't want to let Zhou Ziwen go. She liked to collect information and knew what kind of person Zhou Ziwen was.
Especially after Zhou Ziwen sent people to Haoran Hall, she became extremely disgusted with Zhou Ziwen.
"This has nothing to do with Deputy Chief Wang!"
Zhou Ziwen deliberately pronounced "vice" a little too strongly, looked at the members of Wang Churan's family who were glaring at him, and said with a smile:
"In short, I will complete Haoran Society's casting tasks with quality and quantity every time, right?"
Wang Churan was determined to pursue Zhou Ziwen's misappropriation of public materials for his own profit.
But he also knew that this was a bad debt and there was no way to check it.
Not to mention that their material losses were in such a mess that there was no way to take stock of them.
Zhou Ziwen's study of the losses in the casting process was also the result of their opening the door to convenience.
Even if he was forced to pursue it, Zhou Ziwen could still say that he bought the materials in the market and did not use a piece of iron ingot from Haoran Society.
The trading market is gone now. Even if it existed, Wang Churan couldn't find out anything about the chaotic trading model.
After thinking about it, Wang Churan changed his angle.
"Since you have so many soul coins, why do you need Haoran Society to give you soul coins to help you win the position of deputy director of the manufacturing department during the citizen election?"
"Deputy Chief Wang, what are you talking about!"
Seeing that Wang Churan wanted to investigate, Zhou Ziwen felt impatient, but his face showed shock.
“When I became the deputy general manager of the manufacturing department, I also contributed to Haoran Society!
This was also something we decided after the meeting at that time, and it’s not something I have to do!
And didn’t he say that at the time?
The amount of soul coins you pay is all voluntary, and the organization will make up for the rest!
In order to obtain the position of deputy general manager of the manufacturing department, I also paid half of my soul coins! "
The more Zhou Ziwen spoke, the more indignant he became, as if he had been greatly wronged.
He looked at Wang Churan and said angrily:
"Does Deputy Chief Wang think that I should hand over all the soul coins I earned?"
Wang Churan was speechless for a moment, feeling that Zhou Ziwen was really shameless.
They only know how to benefit from the public good but make no contribution at all.
No matter how talented this person is in the field of casting, he is still a disaster in Wang Churan's eyes.
However, just when Wang Churan was about to continue questioning.
Zhou Ziwen changed the subject, looked at Liu Hao and said:
“I feel like I have reached the threshold of a third-level caster.
I bought this excellent piece of equipment because I wanted to study the technology in it.
The leader's spear has been used for a long time. After I finish my research, the leader will be able to get a new weapon.
This can be regarded as some insignificant contribution I have made to Haoran Society! "
After hearing this, Liu Hao's expression relaxed slightly and he forced out a smile:
"Ziwen is interested!"
Then, Liu Hao turned to look at Wang Churan and said with a smile:
"Chu Ran, that alchemy item engraved with the shield technique is more suitable for you. Do you want it?"
Wang Churan knew that Liu Hao did not want to fall out with Zhou Ziwen in public.
He gave Zhou Ziwen a warning look, and then said boringly:
"No need, save the soul coins and use them to buy realm-breaking elixirs!"
The box fell into silence.——
"This is a rare-grade staff, inscribed with the third-level spell rock stab, the second-level spell psychic missile, and the first-level spells flash and dust removal!
It has the function of focusing on spell casting, assisting in the release of earth spells, and increasing the spell power of earth ability owners!
Even among rare grade staffs, it can be considered a high-quality product!
The starting price is 12,000 soul coins! Is there any response? "
Liu Lu has now fully entered the role of auctioneer.
From time to time, he said some vivid and humorous words to control the atmosphere of the scene.
The only fly in the ointment is that the soul coins in the bidder's account have been almost emptied by her.
The enthusiasm for the quotation gradually decreased, and many people were waiting for the finale of the Breaking Realm Pill.
This is the result of Lin Xiao's intention to control the number of auction items.
He did not auction off all the rare-grade alchemy tools he obtained from looting the Goblin tribe.
There was only a staff, a blue eye pendant, an alchemy cloak and a spell scroll.
But these things, which easily cost tens of thousands of soul coins, can only be barely afforded by even an organization of Chi Ran's level.
Seeing the endless treasures, even though their eyes were filled with excitement, the people participating in the auction still tried to maintain restraint.
Seeing this, after the Rock Thorn Staff was bought by Hillman Drake for 22,400.
Lin Xiao used the phantom sound technique, and under the cover of the Heavenly King's mask, he sent a message to Liu Lu:
"I went straight to the Breaking Realm Pills, and all 8 of them were sold!
Subsequently, the blood rage pills, spell scrolls, and bloodthirsty potions were withdrawn.
Let's finish the auction after the Yuan-Cleaning Pill and the Soul-Cleaning Pill! "
Lin Xiao did this to prevent the remaining goods from not being able to get a good price at auction, or even being unsold.
Rather than that, it would be better to put it up for auction next week.
After all, it is unlikely that there will be a third-level alchemist and a fourth-level pharmacist in Lingxiao Village in the short term.
Those things of his can still be regarded as having a price but no market.
The purpose of getting the Realm Breaking Pill in advance is to completely empty out the soul coins of everyone present.
In order to prevent buyers from returning disappointed, Lin Xiao placed the Yuan Cleansing Pill and the Soul Purifying Pill at the end.
There are Breaking Realm Pills, Pearls and Jade, which are very effective and relatively cheap. They can also be candidates for those who have not bought the Realm Breaking Pills.
After all, after taking it for the first time, it can transform and sublimate, and lay a solid foundation. It is still very attractive to everyone.
Lin Xiao's purpose is to prevent everyone here from taking away a soul coin when they leave Lingxiao Pavilion!
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Liu Lu was slightly startled, and then quickly changed her tone.
First, there was a little teasing, which made the bidders relax a little.
Then he changed his voice and took out a realm-breaking pill.
After saying a few words briefly, without giving everyone much time to react, the auction started immediately.
This twist of looseness and tightness instantly set off the whole audience.
Many people didn't even take a closer look at the effects of the Realm-Breaking Pill, and followed the people around them to raise placards and bid.
"7000 on the left!"
"A friend in the backcourt offered 7500!"
"8000! The left box is 85008800, the right one is 9000!"
"Is there more? If not, this realm-breaking pill will go to the right box!"
"920094009600!"
"There are only 8 pieces in total!"
Boom!
"Eleven thousand soul coins, this realm-breaking pill belongs to Mr. Orlando!"
Following Liu Lu's guidance, everyone at the auction focused their attention on Roland.
He clenched his fists and looked very excited.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he quickly sat down in his seat.
"Roland, you are a little over the top. Even the elixir is not worth tens of thousands of soul coins."
Adrico Nicholas turned his head and said to Roland with a frown.
After hesitating for a moment, he continued to ask: "Where did you get so many soul coins?"
"Mr. Neumann gave it to me." Roland looked ashamed and said with some regret, "I'm afraid that the competition will be too fierce and I won't be able to steal it from them."
Donaldson Neumann
Adrico Nicholas frowned, patted Roland on the shoulder, and focused on bidding for the next Realm Breaking Pill.
Donaldson Neumann has already failed to advance once.
Roland must have been ordered to do his best to buy a realm-breaking pill.
For this elixir that can increase the probability of advancement, Donaldson desires it more than anyone else.
Adrico has a good relationship with Donaldson, so he doesn't mind letting his subordinates help.
In doing so, you can share risks and avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, Roland's bidding inadvertently increased the bidder's psychological price for the Breaking Realm Pill.
The subsequent seven realm-breaking pills all cost around 10,000 soul coins.
As the Breaking Realm Pills were sold out, the Yuan Cleansing Pills and Soul Purifying Pills appeared, and there was another wave of bidding in the auction house.
The last soul purifying pill was sold for a high price of 6,500 soul coins, chasing the soul nourishing pill!
