Douluo: Xin Shu

Chapter 173

To be repaired...

“The auction items are usually placed on the display stand, where the estimator who presides over the auction stands.

There were no open fires in the auditorium, which was completely shrouded in darkness. The purpose, like the black robes you wear, is to protect the privacy of the auctioneers. "

Suddenly, Lou Gao's voice came from behind them.

The auction was organized by the Blacksmiths Association. Ning Xinli was not surprised at all when Lou Gao appeared here.

As the former president of the Blacksmiths Association, the seats at the top of the building were naturally arranged at the front.

Following his lead, everyone followed him to the front of the auditorium.

As soon as he sat down, Lou Gao couldn't wait to ask Tang San: "Boy, you don't only have a piece of paper in your hand, do you?"

So obviously excited, Ning Xinli shook her head.

"Of course not, it's just that I placed the complete blueprint in Tangmen.

When our seniors return to Tangmen with us, we will naturally be able to see the complete drawing of the 'Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle'. "

Ning Xinli could see such an obvious agitation, so how could Tang San not notice it?

He had always seen through Lou Gao's little thoughts without telling them.

Thinking about it, how could Tang San place the blueprint of "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle" in Tangmen instead of carrying it with him?
However, Lou Gao has not yet truly joined the Tang Sect.

Therefore, Tang San couldn't safely hand over the complete blueprint of "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle" to the other party's hands.

"It seems that I have to go on this trip with you.

Even though the blueprint you gave me is incomplete, I can feel that this hidden weapon is very different from the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

The Zhuge Divine Crossbow can be produced in batches, but it can only strive for excellence.

Even if I only make one or two, they will be astonishing and enough to change the world's view of us blacksmiths. "

The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle is of course very different from the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

The former was something that Tang San in his previous life also failed to successfully produce. Like the "Buddha's Furious Tang Lotus", it is also a long-lost hidden weapon of the Tang Sect.

The latter is almost an ordinary hidden weapon that every outer disciple has in hand.

“Not only that, but from my perspective, extremely hard and tough metal is needed to make this hidden weapon.

At the very least, two kilograms of Hanxin Iron Essence is needed. No, even the Hanxin Iron Spirit may not meet the conditions for making it. "

Two kilograms of Hanxin Iron Essence, without considering other conditions, is already six hundred gold soul coins.

The cost price of an ordinary Zhuge Divine Crossbow is only sixty gold soul coins.

Ten times or more!

"The auction is about to begin."

It has to be said that these two people are both concealed weapon maniacs.

No, as they were chatting, they had forgotten where they were. The more they chatted, the happier they became.

Fortunately, after Ning Xinli intervened, Tang San did not continue chatting with Lou Gao.

Originally, the display stand in front of Ning Xinli, like the auditorium, was silent in darkness. Just then, a white light lit up there. I saw a middle-aged man in his fifties standing under the white light.

"Dear guests, I am Sidi, good evening everyone.

Despite your busy schedule, it is an honor for our Blacksmiths Association that everyone can come to participate in the auction we hold.

Everyone, please settle into your seats, the auction is about to officially begin.

To protect everyone's privacy, everyone participating in the auction will wear black robes. When you are in the night, there is a caller next to you. After ringing the caller that represents the seat number, tell the price in your heart. "

Sidi, the direct disciple with the smallest height in the building. Like his senior brothers Siyu and Sikai, he is also a master blacksmith.

A master blacksmith was able to relax and host the auction in person.

This shows how valuable this auction is.

"Without further ado, please take a look - this is the first auction item today: a piece of black-grained iron with a purity of 90% and a weight of about 231 kilograms. Its base price is two 10,000 gold soul coins, and the minimum price increase for each increase is one hundred gold soul coins."

It's a done deal and the auction begins.

After no one bids, the auctioneer will hit the hammer three times in a row.

After three hammers, the dust settled.

This is Xuan Tie?
Black-grained iron, also known as black iron in Tang San's previous life, is a type of carbide with extremely high hardness and excellent wear resistance. Not only does it have a very high melting point, it is not easily corroded and is an excellent forging material.

"The starting price is 20,000, you guys are really shady."

After hearing the auctioneer's statement, Ning Xinli couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What is black-grained iron? In the final analysis, it is just black gold with higher purity.

One kilogram of black gold is worth about four gold soul coins, and 231 kilograms is only more than 900 gold soul coins.

"Miss Ning was joking, businessman, small business, small business.

Black iron is an alloy of fine gold and black gold. Generally speaking, ten kilograms of black-grained iron requires at least three kilograms of fine gold and ten kilograms of black gold, which is 760 gold soul coins. This 231 kilograms of black-grained iron requires more than 69 kilograms of fine gold and 231 kilograms of black gold, which is less than 18,000 gold soul coins.

When we sell things, after paying taxes to the higher authorities, of course we have to make some profit. "

Don't look at Lou Gao, the president of the "Blacksmith Association", who changed his job after just a few words. What the president handed over was even more ridiculous and funny.

However, in the final analysis, the Blacksmiths Association is not a leisurely organization with no one under its control.

Gengxin City is a main city of the Star Luo Empire.

Both the City Lord's Palace of Gengxin City and the Blacksmiths Association are under the jurisdiction of the Star Luo Empire, and they are affiliated with the Star Luo royal family.

It is precisely because of the Blacksmith Association that the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire are equipped with far more sophisticated weapons and armor than the soldiers of the Tiandou Empire.

How could there be a more appropriate origin for the army's standard equipment than a blacksmith?

Iron, a material controlled by the Empire.

How could the blacksmiths dare to use it in large quantities without the permission of the empire?
"President Lou Gao, I just made a joke with you, don't mind it." Ning Xinli pressed the buzzer on the side: "Thirty thousand gold soul coins."

what? !

No one could have imagined that someone would directly quote a price that was a full 10,000 gold soul coins higher than the auction price.

Tang San and others were invited by Silong to participate in this auction.

The seat numbers for the auction had been decided as early as when they sent out the invitation letter.

The bidder is bound to the seat number.

(The arrangement of seat numbers is not based on seat order.

In other words, the guest holding the number 1 seat card is still number 1 even if he is sitting in the last row of the auditorium.

In the same way, if a guest holding a seat card number 50 is seated in the first row, the number will still be 50 when bidding. )
Therefore, Sidi recognized them immediately.

In the past two days, Sidi had not been in contact with Tang San and others, but he had heard it mentioned by three senior brothers.

——They are friends of Lou Gao.

Since he is the teacher's friend, Sidi naturally no longer behaves as usual (delaying time as much as possible, waiting for the auctioneer with a higher price to appear), but quickly bids: "VIP No. 8, bid 30,000 yuan." Gold soul coin.

Thirty thousand gold soul coins once, thirty thousand gold soul coins twice, thirty thousand gold soul coins..." The second hammer sounded, and the third hammer was about to fall. A voice raising the price came from behind Ning Xinli: "I'll pay four Ten thousand. "

forty thousand……

Could it be that the other party is also an expert?

As Lou Gao said before, generally speaking, ten kilograms of black-grained iron require three kilograms of fine gold and ten kilograms of black gold.

However, the piece of black-patterned iron on the stage is obviously something special.

Ninety percent purity means——

This 231 kilogram piece of black-grained iron requires nearly 210 kilograms of fine gold and 231 kilograms of black gold.

This means that the price of this piece of black patterned iron is at least fifty thousand gold soul coins.

Forty thousand is not yet Ning Xinli's limit.

"Forty-one thousand gold soul coins."

Although 40,000 yuan was still within Ning Xinli's acceptance range, she did not directly shout out her psychological price.

She wanted to wait and see whether the other party was raising the price or whether he really knew what he was doing.

After a moment of silence, the voice sounded again: "Fifty-one thousand gold soul coins."

It turned out that the other party was just raising the price and was not an expert.

In this case, she doesn't want it anymore.

Whether the items at the auction are genuine or fake depends entirely on the bidder's ability to distinguish.

Ordinary black-grained iron, just like what Lou Gao described before, 231 kilograms is worth less than 18,000 gold soul coins.

Even if the sale is at the "reserve price," the auction will receive a portion of the profit.

Whether it is really 90% pure, as Sidi said, depends on the bidder's insight.

After looking at it carefully, Ning Xinli discovered that the purity of this piece of black-grained iron was indeed as high as Sidi said, as high as 90%.

In other words, its price is basically around 50,000.

The other party directly set the price at 50,000 yuan. Of course, Ning Xinli had reason to guess that the other party was raising the price.

Things at auctions are generally overpriced. For no other reason than this, only in this way can they make money.

After all, making money is their purpose of holding auctions.

……

That day, Miles and his men rolled out of the restaurant.

He did not expect that a small Gengxin City would actually see an "adult" holding a "Pope's Order".

Could it be that the other party is here for the Blacksmiths Association?

Gengxin City has been peaceful for too many years.

Could it be that their Lou Gao master craftsman once again created a divine weapon, which attracted the Pope's envoy?
It shouldn't be. How could he not notice when the artifact was born?

Miles was thinking about it but couldn't figure it out. As soon as he returned to the Wuhun Main Hall, he received news that a distinguished guest was coming.

The Blacksmith Association is backed by the royal family of the Star Luo Empire, and its president, Lou Gao, is also a Weapon Soul Douluo.

Looking back on his career as a Cardinal over the years, Miles really felt embarrassed.

How could he, a mere Soul Saint, have the ability to defeat the powerful Soul Douluo warriors from the Blacksmith Association?
Even if the other party is just a blacksmith, he is really a soul master with eight soul rings.

Recently, the superiors have been pressing for him to take down the Blacksmiths Guild.

Crying to grandpa and complaining to grandma, there was really no other way. Miles gritted his teeth and borrowed a platinum bishop from his superiors.

Platinum Bishop——Lordiala, an eighty-sixth level agility attack type fighting spirit Douluo, whose spirit is the Eagle Eagle.

If before today, the support of a platinum bishop would definitely make Miles overjoyed.

Now, he does not feel that he has a chance to win.

Miles always thought this matter was very strange, but he couldn't explain why.

Not only because of the papal envoy holding the "Papal Order", but also because of the fighting soul Douluo who was following the opponent.

Wuhun Palace has never been monolithic.

Bibi Dong is the Pope, but he is just the Pope.

In addition to the Pope's Palace, which is completely obedient to her orders, the Wuhun Palace also has an Enshrinement Hall and an Elder's Hall.

Over the years, the elders of the Presbyterian Hall have restricted each other with the Pope's Hall. As for the worship hall, it is the only "big worship" where thousands of people are looking at it.

The top of Miles is Qian Renxue, the granddaughter of Qian Daoliu and the daughter of the former Pope and the contemporary Pope Bibi Dong.

The conflict between mother and daughter is not something they, as subordinates, can delve into.

Miles only knows one thing. If the Pope intervenes in the "incorporation of the Blacksmiths' Guild", it is hard to say what the final result will be.

As for the attitude of the Fighting Soul Douluo, Miles couldn't guess.

Worry, the Blacksmith Association itself has a Weapon Soul Douluo in charge.

……

"Is this little girl fighting with me?"

Lordiara felt a little surprised - for everything he had bid, the guest No. 8 would follow the price.

The other party seems to have some skills.

Every time, the moment before Lordiala wanted to give up, that girl would give up before him.

Although, he came to trouble the "Blacksmiths Association" at Miles's request.

Tonight, no matter how high the bidding price Lordiala shouts, he will not give a copper soul coin to the "Blacksmith Association".

However, Lordiala felt a little aggrieved to have people keep making decisions about the price.

Isn't this guest No. 8 really trying to raise the price with him?
“The next auction item is a piece of high-purity fine gold, weighing about fifty kilograms.

Fine gold, I believe everyone is very familiar with it, is worth two hundred and forty gold soul coins per kilogram. The reason why this piece of fine gold can be placed in front of everyone is of course unique.

I won’t go into details about what is unique about it, leaving it up to you distinguished guests to identify it for yourself.

The base price is also 20,000 gold soul coins, and each bid must not be less than 1,000 gold soul coins. "

True and false, ambiguous.

This test is the auctioneer's language skills.

To tell the truth from the fake at a glance, Ning Xinli just glanced there and understood: this is just an ordinary piece of fine gold.

Even if the transaction is at the lowest price, the blacksmiths' association will make nearly double the profit.

(Fifty kilograms times two hundred and forty gold soul coins, a total of twelve thousand gold soul coins.)
Hearing Sidi say this, many people will definitely think so——

The piece of black-grained iron at the beginning must not be as precious as he described before.

There must be something really unique about this piece of fine gold.

Otherwise, how could that piece of black-grained iron allow one hundred gold soul coins to be added at a time, while this piece of fine gold requires one thousand gold soul coins to be added at a time?
