Reincarnation Paradise: Start with an original sin object

Chapter 150 Auction

The stall owner was very anxious when he saw this.

"Okay, okay, I will sell the things to the young master at a loss today. Anyway, all my teammates in the team are dead. I will not go exploring in the wilderness anymore in exchange for some money to support my retirement."

Xinghan saw the stall owner deeply involved in the drama and was speechless for a while, wondering why this old man kept on acting.

He took out the money bag from his cloak pocket, counted out 20 gold coins and handed it to the stall owner.

Xinghan took the two items and three "matches" he bought and turned around and walked towards the auction house.

When the old stall owner saw Xinghan walking away, he rolled up the other items on the stall and left in a flash, disappearing into the bustling crowd in the blink of an eye.

Xinghan quickly walked to a snow-white tower.

The tower is the only building in the Black Market Square.

The stalls on the square are not placed randomly. The managers of the black market have designated areas on the ground and numbered them.

To use a stall, you can rent it by the hour, day, or month.

The tower is where rental business is handled.

It is said that at the top of the tower, there is a surveillance device covering the entire black market square, which can monitor the movements in the square at any time.

Once someone makes trouble, the Black Market Guards will come out to impose sanctions.

Below the tower is another place.

Through the downward passage inside the tower, you can reach the underground of the square.

There is a huge venue, where the black market owners hold auctions.

Looking up from under the tall tower, the tower is over 100 meters tall. It is white in color and reaches straight into the sky without any gaps.

After passing several steps, Xinghan came to the tower. Instead of handing out the invitation immediately, he took out ten gold coins and handed them to the guard at the door, saying, "I want to appraise the items."

He has already inquired that Baita provides appraisal services and provides acquisition services at 90% of the appraisal value.

If the value reaches a certain level, you can auction it on your behalf and charge a 10% commission.

The above two items are all voluntary.

Ten gold coins are the ticket for the appraisal. The price of each item subsequently appraised is ten gold coins. The price of special items is negotiable.

The guard led Xinghan to the door of a room.

Xinghan entered and saw a messy table with various alchemy equipment. The dim light beside the table reflected the old face of an old man with a beard.

The old man was fiddling with a part in his hand, his expression focused, as if he didn't hear the sound of Xinghan opening the door or his footsteps.

"I want to appraise the items." Xinghan reminded softly.

Xinghan knew very well the alchemist's obsession with alchemy. During the process of refining potions, he had been so obsessed with knowledge that he could not extricate himself. Sometimes he could not sense any information from the outside world for more than ten hours.

Sure enough, the old man seemed to wake up from a dream, raised his head, and showed a gentle smile: "I'm very sorry, sir, what item do you want to identify?"

Xinghan took out dozens of items from his arms, as well as a corresponding number of gold coins, including "Crimson Dragon Fruit" and a "Purple Obsidian Fine Gold" bead.

"Let's identify all these items."

The old man nodded, placed a piece of metal fragment under the microscope, and began his work.

Xinghan sat on the chair and waited for half an hour, and the identification results finally came out.

The old man handed Xinghan a long quotation list, which listed the estimated value of each item.

The two items marked in red are the "Crimson Dragon Fruit" and the "Purple Obsidian Fine Gold" bead.

"Sir, you have a total of two items that meet the auction standards. The total price of the other items is 24.3 gold coins. If you package them for sale, I can buy them all for 22 gold coins."

"This red dragon fruit can be the auction item tonight, with a base price of 10 gold coins."

"This grain of purple obsidian fine gold is estimated to be 5 gold coins. It is too small and is not suitable for auction today. It can only be placed in a small auction in the future..."

Before the old man finished speaking, Xing Han waved his hand, and nine "Purple Obsidian Fine Gold" beads were lined up on the table.

"10 "Purple Obsidian Fine Gold" beads, the base price is 60 gold coins. "Xing Han's disguised deep voice came from under the cloak.

The old man nodded in agreement without hesitation, took out a receipt and two red cards from the drawer next to him, wrote something on them and handed them to Xinghan.

Xinghan reached out and took it. The document read: Purchase of items, 22 gold coins.

The red cards read respectively: ordinary (No. 129) and top quality (No. 38).

"Take your exchange items and receipts and go to the counter to withdraw money." The old man seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but it was not directed at Xinghan.

There had been a vicious incident in which appraisers secretly hid gold coins and materials. These appraisers were no longer qualified to take over the materials and issue gold coins. Instead, they were handled by specialized people who only had the right to issue invoices.

"After the auction ends, take these two cards and exchange them for gold coins. Don't lose them. Only the certificates are recognized, not the person!"

After that, the old man waved his hand to indicate that Xinghan could leave.

Xinghan nodded slightly and thanked her, then turned and left.

Ten minutes later, Xinghan returned to the door of the auction house with 22 bearer savings cards worth 1 gold coins and two red auction item cards.

At this time, he had changed his disguise.

Because he needs to show the invitation card provided by Elian to enter the auction house, Elian can easily confirm his identity, and there is no point in hiding his identity.

"I'm going to the auction tonight."

Xinghan showed the silver invitation.

A guard walked out of the door and guided Xinghan into an elevator-like lift.

There were already three people waiting inside before Xinghan.

The guard said mechanically and politely: "Please wait a moment. Once we gather five people, we can start heading to the auction venue."

After that, the guard turned and left.

Xinghan stood at a corner of the elevator, leaning slightly against the wall of the box and looking at the other three people.

All three of them wore black cloaks covering their figures, and their faces were covered with scarves.

Two of them stood side by side in the center of the elevator, occupying one-third of the entire elevator.

Although the two did not talk to each other, judging from their positions, they should be traveling together.

The other person was thin and lean, leaning on another corner of the elevator, as if he wanted to get further away from the two people traveling with him.

Xinghan's gaze swept across the three people without lingering too much on them.

Staring at others is rude in itself, and in the black market such behavior can easily be regarded as provocation and cause unnecessary trouble.

Xinghan didn't wait too long. Soon, the guard led another "passenger" to the elevator.

When the fifth guest entered the elevator, the divine runes inside and outside lit up. Xinghan and others felt their bodies lose weight slightly, and the elevator began to descend at a very fast speed.

After more than ten seconds, the elevator stopped and the hatch opened.

What came into view was a magnificent hall. The auction table was blocked by a curtain, and many people were already sitting on the seats below. Xinghan and others walked out of the elevator and were about to find seats to sit down.

I saw the two burly people walking together walking straight to the right and arriving at a passage guarded by guards.

One of them raised his hand and showed something like a token.

Upon seeing this, the guard quickly bowed and saluted, and invited the two of them into the rear passage.

Xinghan suddenly realized that these two people were actually important people with a private room on the second floor. The passage guarded by guards naturally led to the private room.

The invitation in his hand can also go to the box, but he prefers to sit in the venue below to feel the atmosphere of the auction.

The most important thing is that it is closer to the auction table, and its energy response can be monitored with the "Eye of Hate".

Xinghan found a dimly lit corner and sat down, quietly waiting for the auction to begin.

The thin guest had disappeared.

To Xinghan's surprise, the fifth guest came and sat down not far from his seat, and even nodded to Xinghan.

Xinghan was confused and at the same time wary.

This person was wearing a black robe, but without a hijab. The lower half of her face was exposed. She had fair skin, no beard or Adam's apple, and something like rouge was smeared on her mouth. She was most likely a woman.

With Xinghan's memory, he can be sure that he has never seen this person before, unless the other person has a way to disguise himself.

If something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and Xinghan will certainly not let down his guard just because of that inexplicable kindness.

Xinghan ignored this person and did not change his position. He closed his eyes and rested in his seat.

The man didn't take it seriously, smiled slightly, and quietly leaned on his seat to wait.

About half an hour later, the auction venue, which could accommodate 10,000 people, was about half full.

The lights in the venue suddenly dimmed, and the curtain of the auction stage slowly opened.

I saw a row of maids standing neatly behind the auction table, holding trays covered with cloth in their hands, and an old man with a gray beard stood behind the auction table in front.

The old man held the auction mallet and knocked it a few times. An invisible force field wave spread, and the noise in the venue suddenly disappeared.

The Auction Mallet is a divine item, said to be refined from the remains of a divine dolphin.

Its effect is that after knocking three times in a closed space, the air in the closed space will not be able to form sound waves for the next three seconds.

Then for the next three hours, the sound of the person banging the gavel can travel through the space without loss.

And when the sound propagates to the edge of the space, it will be directly absorbed by the wall without producing an echo.

Three seconds passed quickly, and the guests at the venue stopped talking and stared at the old man presiding over the auction, looking forward to the opening of the auction.

The old man said: "Thank you all distinguished guests for coming. I will host today's auction."

The old man's voice was gentle, but there was an unquestionable majesty in his tone.

This person is Sass, the chief appraiser of the black market, a senior scholar, and also a senior appraiser.

An ordinary auction would not be worth his presence.

On the one hand, several items in today's auction are of high value, and on the other hand, they are antiquities whose authenticity is difficult to distinguish.

At this time, a highly respected professional is needed to vouch for this, and Sasse is the perfect person to come forward.

"Please look at the first item."

Master Sass didn't waste any time and went straight into the formal auction process.

The maid on the far left came forward with a tray in hand, and lifted the red cloth on the tray, revealing a golden animal egg.

"An egg from an intermediate divine creature, the Golden Light Monitor," Master Sass said loudly. "This egg is full of vitality. The probability of hatching is over 80%, the probability of survival is over 70%, and the probability of awakening is over 30%. After awakening, it will have combat power. It can reach up to the intermediate peak.”

"And the physical body is strong. Even if he does not awaken his divine power, he will still have good combat power as an adult. The above appraisal results are guaranteed by this auction house. The auction will start with a base price of 5000 gold coins."

Due to the random nature of divine energy generation, even the offspring of divine energy creatures are not guaranteed to awaken divine energy.

Currently recognized rules include but are not limited to:

Descendants of divine creatures have a greater chance of awakening divine powers.

The type of divine energy awakened by the descendants of divine creatures has no necessary relationship with the divine energy awakened by the previous generation. It is a completely random event.

At this time, some guests have already started bidding.

"6000 gold coins."

"6800 gold coins."

"8000 gold coins."

"9600 gold coins."

In the end, the eggs were bought by an old man for 13900 gold coins, probably for the younger generations of the family.

The first item, while of low practical value, is rare and therefore included in this auction.

The nests of intermediate divine creatures can only be found at least close to high-risk areas, and it is even more difficult to collect live eggs.

The enthusiasm of the guests at the auction was aroused, and soon six or seven lots were displayed in front of everyone in turn.

Master Sasse's auction skills are very superb, and the benefits of each item are magnified several times.

The risks and hidden dangers were mentioned in one word. Although there was no deception, it still led the guests to bid one after another.

Each item fetched more than it was worth.

……

Time passed and the auction was already halfway through. Xinghan remained motionless. Although the items on the stage were precious, they were of little use to him.

During this period, the crimson dragon fruit and purple obsidian fine gold he consigned were sold at high prices of 27 gold coins and 96 gold coins respectively. Xinghan's net worth instantly reached 150 million gold coins.

Suddenly, the "Eye of Hate" prompted a high-energy reaction, and Xinghan couldn't help but sit up straight.

Master Sasse waved again, and a maid came forward. The difference from before was that the tray in her hand was covered with a golden cloth.

"Next is the first priceless treasure of this auction!" Master Sasse said loudly.

The so-called priceless treasures, as the name suggests, have no price and cannot be measured by gold coins.

This does not mean how valuable it is, but the owner of the lot stipulates that it can only be bartered.

When the consignor took out the lot, he also specified the scope of the exchange.

It can be a treasure of a certain attribute or function, a certain message, or even asking a strong person in a certain field to do something, etc.

As the golden veil was lifted, an ancient oil lamp appeared in front of everyone.

This oil lamp looks weathered and full of traces of time.

The bright copper surface reflects a deep and charming bronze luster, which is a kind of charm that has gone through vicissitudes but is still tenacious and unyielding.

This oil lamp looks old, but if you look closely, you will find that except for a deep mark, there are no scratches on it, which seems to represent eternity and shortcomings.
