Volume 16 Chapter 127 Unexpected Discovery

Chapter 127 An unexpected discovery

I originally entered the auction house with the intention of following Venus, but my eyes accidentally caught sight of a stone on the display stand - the Stone of Commandment.

Since the auction house has system protection, it is impossible to steal items in the store. Therefore, there is no security here at all. All the items for sale are placed on the display stand in the form of a supermarket. Those who want it can go and check it out by themselves. Anyway, these items cannot be installed into any space props before being sold, and Unusable, so there is no fear of damage or theft by others. But now this setting makes me very shocked, because the Stone of Commandment, which is a priceless treasure to me, is actually placed on the display stand like cabbage on the street. This is just like the old experts from the National Academy of Sciences showing up on the street. It was as shocking as discovering top-secret American blueprints in a bookstore.

Seeing Venus walking towards the other end of the hall, I quickly ran to the table and picked up the stone of commandment. Since most of the items on this fourth floor have unclear uses or have very narrow uses, it is generally difficult to price them. Therefore, the items here are sold by the sellers, that is, you pay the price yourself, and the auction house helps. You sell it, and if it sells, the auction house will share it according to the agreed ratio. If it doesn't sell, it will just sit there. Of course, if the auction house thinks that the item has not been sold, it may not accept it. Of course, there is another way to sell items that the auction house thinks are impossible to sell, and that is to spend money to rent a stall. Anyway, the auction house charges a daily fee, and whether it sells or not is the seller's own business.

The piece I got now obviously belongs to the category of nominal sale, that is, the auction house believes that this thing is valuable, but cannot accurately price it. I picked up the Stone of Commandment and touched it on the magic catalog. The text on the catalog immediately changed, and all the information about the sale of this Stone of Commandment was displayed. However, because I haven't decided to buy it yet, some information is still kept confidential. of.

The current display shows that this stone of commandment is of an uncertain price type, that is, the person selling it has only determined the share ratio with the auction house, but has not determined the final price of this thing. I originally expected this thing to be sold cheaper, but it seems that this will take a lot of trouble. However, since it is an unpriced item, it means that the other party does not know the purpose of this thing, so the price can still be discussed, at least It will not really be equivalent to the actual value of this thing. After all, if the other party knows the purpose of this thing, the price of this thing may be over 100 million.

Considering the huge value of the Stone of Commandment, I decided to let the Demon Pet keep an eye on Venus for the time being. I had to get this thing first. I summoned Rebecca and asked her to track Venus. I took the Stone of Commandment and ran to the transaction reception desk, and then applied to purchase this thing. After paying the deposit of ten crystal coins, the auction house began to send notices to the seller. Because this thing has no price, the seller is no longer unable to sell it. He must negotiate a price first. As for my deposit, it is prepared to prevent me from giving up the purchase if the final price cannot be negotiated. After all, I cannot give it to others in vain. Can you call me back? If I finalize the deal, the money will be offset against the purchase price.

I was relatively lucky. When the special contact communication was connected, the other party was just about to leave the city, but was called back directly. I waited in the trading room for a few minutes before the other party arrived. However, what came over was not just one person, but a group of people. This is obviously a leveling team. They obtained the items together, so it cannot be sold by just one person.

When the other person entered the room and saw me sitting there, he was stunned. "Are you...Zi Ri, the president of the Frost Rose Alliance?"

I nodded, and then raised the stone of commandment in my hand. "Is this for sale by you? How much do you plan to sell it for?"

Perhaps because of my special status, the other party immediately got together to discuss it in a chatty manner, and they turned around after a few minutes. One of them, who looked like a captain, sat across from me and asked, "Is this important to you?"

I casually leaned on the seat and said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate to ask this?" Seeing their expressions as if I were a novice, I had no choice but to explain: "If I tell you this thing, it will be very harmful to me." If it's very important, doesn't that mean I'm asking you to increase the price? If this thing is really important to me, then me saying this can only show that I'm an idiot and sticking my neck out to let you kill me. If this thing is really important to me, It’s unnecessary. Then I’d be even more idiotic by answering like this, and there might be something wrong with my nerves. So no matter from which point of view, I can only answer no. Don’t you think it’s very difficult to give a multiple-choice question with only one option? Are you bored?"

The other party was stunned by what I said, and then turned around to talk for a while. Fortunately, this time it was much faster and stopped quickly. "Well...since you said so, let's just judge that this thing is very important to you!" While saying this, the other party kept staring at my eyes, obviously trying to see from the changes in my expression. Something came out, but they were a little too green for me. This is not to say that they are younger than me, but that they have too little experience in negotiation. My expressions and eyes are like passwords to them. After realizing that he couldn't tell anything from my expression, the other party immediately said, "Since you are the president of a big guild, the things that are important to you will definitely not be ordinary goods, so we can't give them to you." The price is too cheap.”

"It doesn't matter, tell me the price you want. If I think it's reasonable, I'll accept it." The other party was about to discuss the price, and I continued: "But I hope you will tell the price to the person next to you directly after the discussion. The staff records the price as a record, and I don’t want any nonsense to happen.”

My worries are not false. In the past, someone on the forum reported that when negotiating prices at the auction house, someone offered a price and then started to increase the price after the other party accepted it. Anyway, the prices given by both parties before it was reported to the staff of the exchange were not considered arithmetic. This must not be the case. Not defensive.

The other party probably knew about this, so he agreed immediately. This time they got together to discuss it fiercely. After waiting for a long time, the captain turned back and said: "One hundred thousand crystal coins."

I frowned slightly and stretched out my hand to gesture in the direction of the staff. They may have seen my expression and thought the price was a bit high. After all, my frown showed that I was dissatisfied, so they thought their price might have been high. But because I didn't leave, they guessed that I probably accepted the price, so in the end They still quoted the price to the staff. After the staff confirmed the price, I took the transaction form, clicked Confirm, paid the money, took the items and left.

Probably because I moved too fast, the other party suddenly reached out and grabbed me after collecting the money. I looked back at them in confusion, and the guy immediately explained: "That... you have got the thing anyway, can you tell us what it is?"

"Sorry, no comment." The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. After saying this, I immediately turned around and prepared to leave, but the other party stepped forward and grabbed me again. "Is there anything else?" Under my slightly angry gaze, the other party actually 'touched' a crystal ball from his body, then let go of my hands and held the crystal ball over. I looked at him confused, and he handed the crystal ball forward again, and finally I took it. Of course I know about this crystal ball. It is a magic crystal ball that records images. It is equivalent to a game video recorder. In addition to being used as a camera, some tasks will specifically require players to take videos as evidence of completing the task. . I took the recording crystal and input a small amount of magic power, and an image was immediately projected into it. My eyes widened instantly. "Do you still have a Stone of Commandment?"

"So this thing is called the Stone of Commandment!" The other party did not answer my question directly, but repeated the name with satisfaction. I just shouted out the name of the Stone of Commandment in excitement, but it was useless if they knew it. Although the Stone of Commandment is extremely powerful, without the Ring of Commandment it is just a stone. To put it simply, the Ring of Discipline is equivalent to a cannon, while the Stone of Discipline is a cannonball. Although the cannonball can be detonated without a cannon, it is completely meaningless to the user. Of course, if they have a small ring of commandment like the one hanging on my back, they can partially stimulate the power of the commandment stone. Unfortunately, even a small ring of commandment is not that easy to find.

"Where is the other stone of commandment?" I asked very carefully.

"Not with me."

"Then...?" The video just now showed the interior of an ancient building, and among the people in the picture were several people present. At that time, there was a vague disc shape on the wall in the distance. There are two stones of commandment inlaid on the relief, and the piece in my hand now is obviously one of them. If it were me, there would be no reason to bring out only one piece, so I naturally thought they had another piece.

The guy explained to me: "At that time, the boss inside ran out, and the thieves in our team dug up such a piece, and then we ran out. Because we didn't know whether this thing was worth anything, we Didn’t risk going in and getting a second piece.”

"Tell me where you got the stuff and I can get it myself. I can pay the information fee as a thank you."

The other party shook his head. "The information fee alone is not enough." He suddenly turned around to discuss with his people for a few words, and then continued: "We have several conditions, and we will tell you if you agree."

"Say." It seems that they are going to be killed this time, but anyway, they don't know the importance of the Stone of Commandment, and they can't offer the correct price no matter how big the lion's mouth is.

"First, you must bring us with you."

"Why?"
