Chapter 57 Special Warcraft

"It does make sense to hear you say that." Kristina suddenly said with a bad smile: "Since there are monsters for sale this time that are equivalent to the level of the seven main battle beasts of the Beast Alliance, let's just buy them."

Lasana also said: "High-level magical beasts themselves are very valuable. Things like this that are hard to come by must not be let go, not to mention that you can take the opportunity to attack the opponent's strength."

Kristina suddenly said: "By the way, President, have you brought enough money?"

"That's no problem. I'll have Rose prepare it right away."

"Then shall we go back now? But we can't get in if we go out!" Lasana asked nervously.

I smiled and held up a finger. "Don't you remember what my relationship with Rose is?"

Lasana knew immediately when she saw the love ring on my hand. "That's right! You are a couple, so you are worried for nothing!"

I smiled and 'touched' the ring of love, and the ring immediately lit up with a soft red light. "Rose."

"What's the matter, husband?"

"How much activity funds does the guild have that can be used?"

"What are you going to do?" Rose is now scared of me. Every time she makes a move, it costs billions of crystal coins. As a financial director, she is also very depressed.

"I was originally here to investigate the defense situation of the Beast Alliance, but I didn't expect that they would be holding a secret auction of magical beasts. Legend has it that the top-quality goods were obtained from the Dark Temple. I thought they were quite valuable, so I thought... …!”

"You want to buy it, right?" Rose immediately understood what I meant. "The guild still has some funds. Taxes have just been collected from various cities recently, and the current profit situation in Fulcrum City is very crazy, so the liquidity is relatively abundant. But let me tell you first, try not to use it if you want it or not. Yes. It’s not easy for us to get money.”

"Don't worry!" I said with a smile, "How many can you mobilize now?"

"First of all, we need to get rid of the funds reserved for the projects under construction and some emergency reserve funds. In addition, the NPC troops lost in the First World War must be purchased from Heaven again, and this must be freed up. The most I can call you is one 12 billion crystal coins, but you’d better control it within 8 billion as early as possible, I don’t want to live the life of counting coins and calculating flowers anymore!”

"I'm measured."

"If you were sensible, I wouldn't have to work so hard!"

"Then please transfer the funds to my account quickly. I'll use it right away. Okay, let's not talk about it for now." I quickly cut off the communication to prevent Rose from complaining to me again.

"Is the money coming?" Kristina asked excitedly.

"kindness."

"How much can be used?"

"Twelve billion at most."

"gold?"

"Crystal coins."

"Oh my god!" Kristina shouted as she fell backwards: "Lasana, please help me. I can't stand up! President, you are too fierce. How can you mobilize so many funds? In the past, people They say our guild is rich, but I still don’t think so, but today I finally know what it feels like to be rich!”

I smiled and said nonchalantly: "This is the guild's money, not entirely personal funds."

Kristina immediately said: "But you are the founder, and the Goddess League, Sakura Club and our Women's League are all merged, not sharing shares with you. You actually account for more than 90% of the guild's funds, so After all, you are really rich!"

"If you calculate it like this, it is indeed a lot, but the Frost Rose Alliance is now like a car driving at full speed. Although the speed is very fast, the fuel consumption is also very high. The money we make basically goes back to the development of the guild. If you get hit, there’s nothing you can do about it!”

"That's quite a lot. The 12 billion you mobilized today are only disposable funds, not all assets. It seems that I still underestimated you before. At first, I only thought you were very good at fighting, but now I know that you are actually Make more money."

"I'm sorry for what you said. Let's go. Before the official auction starts, let's go see what low-level monsters there are. I want to buy some for guild welfare. You can use these small monsters as rewards for some relatively low-level achievements. It’s more respectable than giving money directly.”

Kristina smiled and said: "If the gold coins are here, she must think it is better for you to give the money directly."

"Although no one doesn't like money, how many people can be as crazy as she is?"

"That's right."

"Okay, now let's go see the low-level monsters first."

The three of us chatted and went to the low-level World of Warcraft area to wander around. It is true that the low-level monsters are clearly divided. Most of the monsters here are very common monsters, and they are basically not very powerful. But the price is really cheap, at least half cheaper than the system store. Although I planned to prepare small rewards for guild members, the World of Warcraft here was too low-level, and I really couldn't stand it, so I turned around and didn't buy any of them. We couldn't find suitable monsters in the low-level area, so we had to go around the mid-level area, and the monsters here looked a little bit similar. I randomly selected hundreds of Warcraft, and the total cost was more than 10,000 crystal coins, taking into account the average market price. Even this is very cheap.

When buying Warcraft here, we also discovered a very special thing. The Beast Alliance actually has a special scroll that is convenient for carrying Warcraft. Use this scroll to seal monsters into the scroll. This kind of scroll is much smaller than ordinary magic scrolls, and when rolled up it is about the same as a pen. This kind of scroll does not consider the size or the strength of the monster when sealing it. No matter what level it is, it remains the same. However, according to our understanding, this thing cannot be used in combat, because it requires the target to be captured, and it must be an ownerless wild monster. It is completely useless against the player's magic pet and the monsters of the guild forces, and The scroll itself is also 'disposable'.

The hundreds of monsters we bought turned into hundreds of scrolls. I rummaged through a box from the Phoenix Dragon Space, put all the scrolls in it, and then threw the box together into the Phoenix Dragon Space to avoid making a mess. Hard to find.

After visiting the intermediate area, we originally planned to go to the high-end area to see the Warcraft that would be auctioned later, but as soon as we passed through the separation wall, the announcement rang. "Dear gentlemen and ladies participating in the auction in the high-end area, please note that the auction will start in twenty minutes. Please enter the venue in advance to collect the auction bidder and find a seat as soon as possible. After the auction officially begins, the door will be closed and entry will be refused. Please do so in advance Be prepared."

As soon as the broadcast rang, many people like us wearing special ribbons poured into the auction house here. It seemed that there were quite a lot of people here. Unexpectedly, Zuma was also waiting at the entrance of the venue. This guy's eyes were still good, and he spotted the three of us from a long distance. As soon as he saw us he ran over. "Haha, I thought I couldn't find you!"

Kristina looked at him helplessly and asked: "Aren't you going to buy low-level monsters? Why did you come back again?"

"Didn't I say that I wanted to see what high-level monsters look like?"

Lasana said somewhat rudely: "Just go in by yourself. You have a ribbon on your arm anyway."

"Don't you know?" Zuma asked in surprise: "There is a box system here. People who come together share a box. If you don't buy anything in this box from beginning to end, you have to pay in the end. The usage fee for the box is quite high. I definitely don’t have that much money to waste, since you all want to buy Warcraft anyway. There is no usage fee for our box, so it doesn’t matter if you bring me one more, right?”

Now that he has discovered us, it is not a good idea to force him out. After all, we also used him to sneak in, so we are not confident enough, so we have to take him in with us.

The entrance to the auction house is a hall with five passages, and all the people entering are automatically arranged into five lines. But it was obvious that some teams were loose and others were overcrowded. I saw a sign hanging in front of each passage with words on it. I took a closer look and found that the passages were also graded. These five channels correspond to five levels of private rooms. Each level has different comfort levels and services, and of course the prices are also different. The first channel is the cheapest. The fee is one thousand crystal coins, but if you buy a monster of more than ten thousand crystal coins in the auction, you don't have to pay the one thousand crystal coins. The next four channels have similar requirements, but the price standards are higher than each other.

Zuma looked at us and asked: "Should we take the first channel or the second channel?"

"Let's take the fifth aisle." I turned around and started walking towards the aisle where no one was queuing up at all. Kristina and Lasana also quickly followed.

We all walked out for more than ten meters before Zuma suddenly woke up from the shock and chased us. "Oh my God! Are you mistaken? This is a secret VIP channel. If the amount spent today is less than 2 million crystal coins, you will have to pay a usage fee of 100,000 crystal coins!"

"I know the words."

Seeing me looking so confident, Zuma was a little relieved, but in the end he followed me. There are people queuing up at the other four passages, but each one is less than the last. There is no queue at all here. Occasionally, a few people will go in directly without forming a queue. What I like is actually not the service here, and certainly not the fact that there is no queue here. Although I am rich, I am not willing to spend so much money just to avoid waiting in line. The reason why I chose this channel was because of the anonymous feature written on the sign of this channel. Anyone who dares to enter this passage must buy a large World of Warcraft land. But the Warcraft will eventually be sealed into a scroll. Now that the system has canceled the storage space, the scroll must be carried with you. In this case, it is not safe to go out and it is easy to be robbed. Although people who have the money to buy these Warcraft are certainly not weak, in order to reduce trouble, this anonymous channel is specially set up. The boxes that people inside enter are one-way visible, and people outside cannot see inside. People inside can see outside. And the sign said that this kind of box comes with a teleportation array. After purchasing, you don’t need to go out, you can teleport directly to any open teleportation point in Germany. The three of us sneaked in anyway. So I don't want people to see me. Although the teleportation array is not used, the one-way visual field is very practical.

The floor of this anonymous passage is covered with red carpet, and the opening is different from other passages. Even the door is wider than others. The VIP aisle is more grand. There are a lot of people moving forward in the first aisle there, which is in sharp contrast to this one. We walked directly along the carpet into the door of the passage. There was a black light curtain on the door. You can't see what's inside from the outside. After walking through the door, I realized that walking inside was like walking into a large elevator. Standing in a square room of more than ten square meters were two NPC reception ladies. Both girls were from the orc tribe, so they were in line with the characteristics of the beast alliance. The cat girl standing on our left asked softly: "Are the four of us a group?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"So whose account the funds are in?"

"Here I am."

The Leopard Girl standing on the other side of me immediately continued: "Since we are in the anonymous box, the auctioneer in front of us cannot hear the bid directly. This is the quotation device." The Leopard Girl put a crystal The ball was handed to me. "Just place your hand on it to figure out the price, and the corresponding crystal ball next to the auctioneer will automatically display the price to help you bid. However, this crystal ball is relatively sensitive, so please do not put your hand on it when you are not bidding, so as not to accidentally bid the price and cause inconvenience. Necessary losses. In addition, funds are deducted from the bidder's account. Therefore, you must complete the bidding in person. People who do not have enough funds in their accounts will not show it on the stage even if they use a crystal ball."

I nodded: "I understand. Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

"No more." Catwoman said again: "The one in front of you is the teleportation array. Using it, you can be teleported directly into an empty box. The location of the box is selected at random. Even our colleagues don't know what you will do. Which room you are teleported to, so the purchase situation is absolutely confidential. There are various drinks and food in the box, you can feel free to taste them, they are all free. I wish you to buy the Warcraft you like."

"Thank you." I said politely as I stood on the teleportation array, and Kristina and the other three quickly followed.

In a flash of blue light, the four of us appeared in a very luxurious room. This room is completely sealed. There are walls on three sides, but one side seems to have nothing at all. If it weren't for the words "Beware of energy barriers" suspended in mid-air, everyone would probably think there was nothing there.

The room is almost fifty square meters, with the teleportation array in one corner and a bar in the other corner. There are a lot of drinks and food on it. There are two rows of sofas in front of the energy barrier. There are six in the first row, all of which are very luxurious single sofas. The sofas in the second row are relatively resistant, and they are long sofas for multiple people. Presumably for the entourage. There were only four of us, and we couldn't even fit in the first row, which made it seem rather loose.

There was a recessed tray on the side of the sofa in the first row. I looked at it and realized that it was a place for a crystal ball. After all, no one wanted to hold a crystal ball while watching the auction. This tray is on the side of the armrest. When you put the crystal ball on it, it will be caught in the depression and will not roll around. When you want to bid, you can rest your hand on the crystal ball. Very convenient.

There is also a small table on the left hand side of each sofa. This is a very ordinary table for placing drinks and the like. Zuma felt like he was taking advantage of us, and after he came in, he took the initiative to help us pour drinks and food.

You get what you pay for, that's true. This private room is a bit expensive, but the environment is definitely good. Through the energy barrier in front of us, we can clearly see the situation in the center of the venue, and we can even hear the voices of those entering the venue. In addition to the one-way glass function, the barrier in front of us also has a magnifying effect. Although we know that our position is actually relatively high, we can still clearly see the situation inside the venue.

This huge auction center is nothing like a traditional auction center. It looks like a colosseum. The auctioneer in charge was standing on a platform suspended in mid-air, which was even higher than what we have here. The circular empty space below is probably where the World of Warcraft will be placed later. These monsters are different from ordinary goods. No one knows how strong these guys are unless they are allowed to move, so such a special venue is needed.

Looking down from our place we can see the other boxes below. The boxes where those who came in from the first channel were actually just ordinary people, except that they were divided into areas with half-meter-high fences and were euphemistically called boxes. Although the box for people sitting in the second aisle didn't have a roof, the seats were at least decent. The third and fourth aisles are both covered boxes, so I can’t see the details.

The people below were still entering the venue in a chaotic mess, so I took the time to observe the platform where the auctioneer was standing. His platform is hexagonal, about one meter thick, and has a flat top. A podium-like table was placed above it, and the auctioneer stood behind it. After looking carefully for a long time, I didn't find any steel wires on the platform, and I don't know how it can float there. Does the Beast Alliance also have a gravity resistance device?

The auction started soon after entering the venue, but the person who spoke first was not the auctioneer, nor the leader of the Beast Alliance, but a mysterious figure wrapped in a black cloak. This guy suddenly appeared next to the auctioneer. I don't know if he was teleported or was standing there invisibly. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he appears or not. The robe was too tightly covered, so I couldn't get any information except that he was over 1.9 meters tall and relatively thin. I didn't even know whether he was a boy or a girl. That damn big robe even covered his head like a rice dumpling, with no skin visible at all.

The mysterious man stood in front of the podium and said in a hoarse and gender-neutral voice that could not be identified as male or female: "Hello everyone, I am the mysterious man. Please don't laugh. This is of course not my real name, but when I appear in front of everyone like this, everyone will You should know that my identity cannot be revealed. So please call me the mysterious person for the time being. First of all, I want to tell you that this auction is not actually held at the request of the Beast Alliance, but according to my request. The president of the Beast Alliance is also sitting in a box on the stage like everyone else. If he wants the Warcraft this time, he must pay for it with you. The only difference is to thank him for helping me organize this auction. Yes, I promised him no matter what price he shouted out. I only charged 95%. In addition, I also paid him a proportion of the fee for renting the venue and manpower. The reason why I tell you this is because I don’t want to Let everyone misunderstand, this is not the auction of the Beast Alliance, so some of you should not expect to use relationship-building tricks."

Kristina smiled and said: "This guy really has a 'personality'."

"I think he just wants to make money." Lasana said.

Zuma said: "I don't care who sells Warcraft. I just want to see what the top Warcraft looks like."

The mysterious man outside said a bunch of words of thanks and then turned to the main topic. "What you are most concerned about is definitely the quality of Warcraft. Please rest assured. The Warcraft this time is the highest grade among all the Warcraft I have ever dealt with, and there is also a mysterious creature in it that will be auctioned as the last special item. We will see you later. We will put these auctioned monsters into the venue one by one, and put some familiar monsters in to fight with these monsters. Through comparison, you should be able to understand the strength level of the auctioned monsters. Okay, now let’s introduce Leave the work to Mr. Auctioneer. And put in the first monster, I have to leave for a while."

Just as suddenly as he appeared, the mysterious man disappeared. The auctioneer returned to the loudspeaker area in front of the podium and said: "Mr. Mysterious Man forgot something just now. Please pay attention to the platform under my feet." Following the auctioneer's words, the platform under his feet suddenly lit up, and From what I'm looking at, it appears to be a long series of zeros. "Everyone, please note, this is a display under my feet. It has six sides and the numbers displayed are all the same. The numbers are arranged from left to right. The highest price during the auction will appear here. There is a new price It will also jump when it appears. But please note that the rightmost one on the digital display does not display the units but the thousands. And the unit is crystal coins, not gold coins. Please make sure not to make a mistake. Bidding methods for each box It's different. Our front desk lady should have told you before entering the venue, just follow the instructions. Okay, now the auction officially begins, please ask the staff to put the first monster into the venue."

The platform the auctioneer was standing on began to rise slowly, and a large iron gate slowly rose at the edge of the field below. As soon as the gate opened a crack, a translucent beast with a light blue light suddenly emerged from underneath. This thing looks a bit like a wolf, but it is much larger. It is very similar to my Bailangdao, except that it is translucent.

This thing is very fast and seems to be very flexible. As soon as it came out, it ran around in the venue and even climbed up with the help of the wall. However, this place seemed to be protected by an energy shield. Generally, you can apply for a system protective shield for things like auctions. This kind of protective shield is invincible, and no monster can penetrate it. However, this shield can only be applied for at auctions or peaceful gatherings or competitions. Don't think about exploiting system loopholes to use this as a city shield during war.

The auctioneer explained: "What you are seeing now is a psychic beast. It is a semi-living creature formed from pure natural energy. It has almost no intelligence and no attack power, but you must not underestimate it. The biggest feature of the psionic beast is that it can be fused with any creature. And it is an irreversible fusion. The fused creature will gain many unexpected special abilities, and its basic attributes will be significantly improved. If you are interested in your own Warcraft If you are not satisfied, and are very depressed because the Warcraft cannot be replaced, then you must not miss this creature. It can upgrade your Warcraft, turning the originally ordinary Warcraft into a very outstanding Warcraft, and it does not change the original Warcraft. Behaviors and habits are equivalent to special upgraders for Warcraft. We have a total of seventeen of these psychic beasts, and they will be auctioned one by one later. The base price of each one is 10,000 crystal coins. The minimum bid for each bid is 1,000 crystals. Coins, please bid."

Almost as soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the counter under his feet started jumping wildly. The player's magic pet is not allowed to be replaced, and the position of the player's magic pet is limited. This contradiction is obvious. Although collecting magic pets in the early stages of the game can quickly level up. However, in the early days, the player's strength was low and they generally could not find good monsters to use as magic pets. However, they still felt itchy after dragging on. In addition, it is very difficult to capture monsters in "Zero", and many people are not satisfied with their magic pets. And who would think that his magic pet is too powerful? For these reasons, this psychic beast has become a hot commodity, and it is too tempting to directly strengthen the magic pet.

Zuma sighed there: "High-end goods are different, the properties are too attractive, but it's a pity that I have no money!"

Kristina said to me: "President, this thing is very good! Shall we buy it?"

I looked at the price and nodded, pressing my hand on the crystal ball. The numbers on the stage suddenly jumped violently and then stopped, and the number displayed was the price I paid. I paid 800,000 crystal coins and scared all the bidders at once. Although the numbers kept jumping just now. But it still didn't reach 600,000. I added more than 200,000 at once, which naturally shocked everyone very easily. The auctioneer knocked three times and no one tried to snatch it from me. In the end, I bought the first one for 800,000 yuan. I priced the next sixteen psychic beasts at 800,000 yuan from the beginning, and ended up buying ten of them in one go, and no one took them. But when it was the eleventh one, those who wanted to buy it finally discovered that I had plans to round it off, so they started bidding one after another. As a result, the eleventh one was bought for 1.2 million. The prices of the next few were getting higher and higher, but I didn’t compete with them.

Zuma was very surprised by the way I shouted the price, and asked me why I shouted so high in the first place. Later, he didn't compete with others. I just smiled and didn't answer. Kristina asked Zuma. "Calculate how much we paid for the ten we bought, and how much the next seven cost in total?"

Zuma lowered his head and calculated. The result was a shock. There are seventeen psychic beasts in total. They are all of the same kind and at the same level, so their actual value should be the same. I only spent 8 million crystal coins to buy ten of them, but the final transaction price of the next seven was as high as 13 million crystal coins. Comparing this account, any fool will know that we took advantage.

After Zuma finished the calculation, I smiled and said: "This is called business strategy, it's just simple number calculation and psychological warfare."

Zuma looked at me with an alien expression and kept nodding, completely treating me as a god-level figure.

After the psychic beasts were sold, they were immediately sealed into scrolls and sent directly to our box using a miniature teleportation array. It was really convenient. A second creature was quickly added to the field below. This time it was a big snake. In terms of length alone, this creature was comparable to our country's dragon. The giant snake is characterized by high defense, fast attack speed and strong attack power. Its disadvantage is that its health is relatively low and it is afraid of freezing magic. I had no interest in this snake, and it was finally bought by another guild for one million crystal coins.

The several monsters that came out after that were just mediocre, and I didn’t take a fancy to any of them. This order of appearance is probably deliberately arranged, to create a particularly attractive and lively atmosphere, and then sell some of the less eye-catching ones first, and put the good ones later for buyers to speculate slowly, so that the price is easier Go higher.

Just when we were starting to get a little agitated, a very unique creature suddenly appeared below. The auctioneer introduced loudly: "The creature you are seeing now looks very much like a human being, but don't be fooled by its appearance. What you have in front of you is the most amazing illusion-type Warcraft color-changing insect. . Everyone knows about chameleons in nature, but our chameleons are much more advanced than chameleons. They can cover the target according to the instructions of the mother worm, and then control their own magic power Change the light trajectory, and then you can simulate any scene you want, and you can even become invisible directly." Just as the auctioneer said it was invisible, the man below suddenly disappeared, and after a few seconds it reappeared a few meters away.

Now the female insect is being pinched by a staff member, and the small insects are constantly changing the appearance of various objects according to the staff's instructions. It is really a universal camouflage device.
