Chapter 249: Auction of the Flame Horse
"Do you know much about this place?"
"Well, I've been here a few times."
Xiaoshuang replied, a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes.
Ming Zheng saw it, but did not ask rashly. Instead, he silently returned his attention to the auction.
Lots were brought to the stage one after another, and the sound of bidding and placards could not be heard.
Mingzheng never took action because he found that if he wanted many things, it would be cheaper to go through Devin's internal channels.
Looking at it this way, he may not have as much money as everyone here, but he has invisible resources and channels that they can't even ask for.
Xiaoshuang beside her never asked to pat anything, her small hands were clenched tightly, as if she was anxiously waiting for something.
Soon, the sleeping Bulbasaur was pushed onto the stage, and his cute and naive appearance instantly ignited the atmosphere on the stage.
You can't buy Yusanjia if you have money, otherwise it would have been ruined on the street, so for many people present, the value of Bulbasaur is not low.
The starting price was 500,000 Elf Coins, but in the end it was easily sold for a sky-high price of nearly 3,000,000. Mingzheng was amazed when he saw it.
But he silently thought about his elf lineup, and after estimation, he found that he at least carried several small targets with him.
After the climax, the old auctioneer struck while the iron was hot and launched several more popular elves.
Vulpix, Casey, Green Cotton Bird, Blazing Horse...
Just as the flaming horse was being led onto the stage, Ming Zheng suddenly noticed something strange happening next to him.
But Xiao Shuang, who had always been quiet, suddenly straightened her back, but then shrank back, as if she didn't want anyone to see her.
Mingzheng looked at Xiaoshuang, then at the silent Flame Horse in the stands, and suddenly heard the words he heard outside the door.
This flaming horse...is Xiaoshuang's?
At this time, the auctioneer had already introduced it enthusiastically.
"The Flame Horse is known as the most handsome and fastest land mount elf. Once it connects with its trainer, it will not be burned by the flames on its back.
This flame horse has been carefully cultivated, and its strength has reached the elite level. It has extremely high potential and may transform to the master level at any time.
The starting price is 300,000 Elf Coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 10,000 Elf Coins. Please bid! "
As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone in the audience could bid, the originally peaceful Flame Horse suddenly started struggling wildly, and the person holding the rope accidentally tripped over.
Seeing that the flaming horse's front hooves were raised high and were about to step on the person holding the rope, an imperial Nabo suddenly appeared from the side, opened its mouth and launched an extremely powerful and fast water cannon attack.
The flame horse had no time to dodge, and was hit hard by the water cannon, and then pushed straight to the edge of the stage.
A painful neighing sound sounded, and the flaming horse was so severely injured by the water cannon that it could not even stand up. Only then did everyone realize that Emperor Nabo actually had a powerful strength at the master level.
"Haha, everyone has seen it. This is a fierce horse with a lot of personality, but as long as it can be controlled, it will be more well-behaved and obedient than ordinary flame horses. The price of 300,000 elf coins is not high. If you miss this time, you will never miss it again. !”
The experienced auctioneer immediately smoothed things over, but no matter how extravagant his words were, who would be willing to buy a crazy flame horse.
It’s not cheap after all!
The court fell into an eerie silence, and for a moment there was not a single bidder.
The auctioneer waited with a smile, but he was already extremely annoyed. This flaming horse was just smashing his sign!
"The most handsome and fastest land mount. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have another chance~"
The auctioneer continued, already planning to pass the auction, but don't let this cheap horse be completely cold and affect the subsequent auctions.
At this moment, a white hand was gently raised, it was Xiaoshuang beside Mingzheng!
"300,000 Elf Coins"
There wasn't even a price increase, but it sounded like the sound of nature to the auctioneer, who also had performance appraisals.
Whether an auction fails or not makes a huge difference!
Xiaoshuang's bidding was simply saving his career!
The auctioneer was also afraid that Xiaoshuang would regret it, so he quickly checked twice to see if anyone was bidding before he sounded the auction hammer.
But at this moment, another price increase sound suddenly sounded.
"310,000, I want this flaming horse!"
The auction hammer suddenly hovered in the air, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to the source of the sound.
"Isn't this Hirata, the boss who undertook the ring competition? Does he want this flaming horse to compete?"
"It's very possible that he has many powerful trainers under him to help him deal with some difficult challengers. Maybe..."
The surrounding discussions were not deliberately lowered. Mingzheng heard the conversation clearly and then turned to look at Xiaoshuang.
Sure enough, Xiaoshuang's clenched fists were turning white at this time, and her lips were bitten without even realizing it. She just looked at Hirata with tears and resentment on her face.
Hirata didn't seem to see Xiaoshuang, and only looked at the Flame Horse on the stage with admiring eyes, as if he really took a fancy to the strength of the Flame Horse like everyone was talking about.
On the stage, the old auctioneer looked at Hirata who was bidding, and sighed in his heart, the evil man came out to do evil again!
The person who sent the flaming horse was obviously Hirata, and there was only one possibility to buy the flaming horse back at the risk of not making a penny and deducting 10% of the handling fee.
She didn't want the flaming horse to fall into the hands of the girl just now, and the girl was most likely the original owner of the flaming horse.
Although the flaming horse almost ruined his auction work, the old auctioneer only sympathized with Xiaoshuang and the flaming horse at the moment.
"Ahem, 310,000 Elf Coins, does anyone want to increase the price? Does anyone want to increase the price?"
The old auctioneer was no longer in a hurry and asked slowly, but in fact it was Xiaoshuang who was always looking at him.
"320,000 Elf Coins!"
Xiaoshuang gritted her teeth and chose to increase the price.
"400,000 Elf Coins!"
Hirata followed closely, looking like he was not short of money.
Tasting the salty smell of blood, Xiaoshuang only felt endless regret at this moment.
She regretted how she had trusted Hirata, mortgaged the Flame Horse when she was short of money, and signed a contract to earn a share of the bonus by playing in the ring.
It was clearly promised that as long as you play enough games and earn enough money, you can redeem the Flame Horse at its original price.
But whenever Xiaoshuang is about to save enough money, an extremely powerful opponent will suddenly appear, making her lose a must-win game, and then Hirata will ask for the loss.
After doing this for two or three times, Xiaoshuang, no matter how stupid she was, realized something was wrong. Then she investigated secretly and discovered that her flaming horse was actually put up for auction!
From the beginning, Hirata never thought of returning the Flame Horse to her!
Xiaoshuang knew that she could not fight against the numerous Hirata alone, so after some consideration, she only hoped that she could capture the flaming horse.
Lieyanma had obviously seen Xiaoshuang just now, so he took the initiative to hurt others. Even though he was severely injured by the water cannon, he was extremely smart to help himself and Xiaoshuang.
Ke Pingtian is also at the auction!
How could he let Xiaoshuang take down the flaming horse?
How could he make such a useful tool resist him before she was drained of her power?
The flaming horse must be returned to his own hands!
