Chapter 493 Treasure Appraisal Conference
Yuanqiang Group's large conference room is very spacious, with nearly two hundred seats. Each seat is large and comfortable, and with the table and stepped floor, it looks like a small theater.

After Luo Jun came in and looked around, he saw Ling Xin, walked over and sat with her in the corner.

"Why did you choose such a position?" Luo Jun looked around. It was quite far from the stage. Although his eyesight would not affect his "treasure appraisal", it was still a bit remote.

"Don't you usually like to sit in places like this during class?" Ling Xin glanced at Luo Jun and said with a half-smile, "Besides, we are just here to join in the fun and broaden our horizons. There are many masters with deep backgrounds here, and it may not be our turn to bid."

As they were talking, Alontan also came in, looked around, and finally chose a seat in the middle, about ten seats away from Luo Jun.

As more and more people came, soon two-thirds of the seats in the conference room were occupied, and finally no one came in.

Several staff members came forward to close the door. Not long after, a tall, beautiful, long-haired beauty walked onto the stage and looked at everyone: "Good evening, distinguished guests. I am the host of this treasure appraisal conference. You can call me Ayun."

"Those who have participated in treasure appraisal conferences before may have some understanding of the process. Since the treasures between practitioners are mostly bartered, there are differences between treasure appraisal conferences and general auctions. In fact, each time, the rules will be slightly adjusted due to the different treasures to be appreciated."

"Everyone, please look to the side of your seats. There should be a treasure catalogue there."

Luo Jun looked down and saw that there was indeed a booklet next to it with a palm-shaped sign inside.

"This time, our Yuanqiang Group has carefully selected twelve treasures for everyone to appreciate. The specific information is in the catalog. You can check it out in advance and lock in the treasure you like."

"As for the treasure appraisal process, when a treasure is displayed, any interested customer can raise a placard. However, the purpose of raising a placard is not to bid, but to obtain the qualification to bid."

"After the bidding process, all bidders can record the price they are willing to pay for this treasure on the bidding board. To do this, just hold the bidding board against the treasure box, select the treasure you are willing to bid for, and then record the relevant information on the bidding board. You can record as many as you want. After recording, select Send, and the bidding is complete."

"After the bidding phase is over, our backend will review the price and select the most suitable bidder based on the wishes of the treasure provider. This round of auction will then be over."

So this is the process. Luo Jun nodded after hearing this. This kind of blind bidding is indeed more suitable. After all, the trading of treasures is barter, and there is no price standard. One-on-one transactions can be negotiated with each other. If everyone bids one after another, and each bid must be verified on the spot, it will take forever. What's more, there are only a few qualities of treasures, and everyone is epic. Why are you bidding after me?
This kind of blind bidding solves this problem very well. Everyone bids with their eyes closed, and the group and the seller discuss and decide whose bid to accept, which is reasonable.

But this brand...

Luo Jun scanned it with his vital energy and found that it was an excellent-grade treasure, so he felt relieved.

With this kind of quality, there is no need to worry about the contents of the treasure box being spied on.

While listening to the introduction of the rules, Luo Jun flipped through the album. At a glance, he saw twelve treasures recorded one by one. The first nine were epic, and the last three were legendary.

To be honest, Luo Jun was a little disappointed. I thought that after such a large black market had been held back for several years, all the members would be legendary, and even one or two mythical items would pop out? Looking at this list of treasures, the quality is also average...

"Wow, three legendaries?"

"Look at this, a legendary weapon. If this special effect is activated, doesn't that mean it kills anyone who hits it?"

"These epics are not ordinary, they are all unique!"

“This is really an eye-opener!”

…………

Unlike Luo Jun's indifference, the others around him were obviously very excited about the auction list, making Luo Jun feel like the one who was out of place...

If you think about it carefully, his rise in the past six months has been too fast. Not only has his strength increased rapidly, but he also possesses precious treasures that are difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

Apart from other things, there were at least several thousand people participating in the black market this time, but only more than a hundred people were able to enter. Many of them came here specifically to participate in the treasure appraisal conference. This shows how precious epic treasures are to ordinary practitioners, not to mention legendary treasures. For most practitioners, they are treasures that are hard to come by.

Luo Jun skipped the epic items and focused directly on three legendary items. Two of them were weapons, a rocket launcher and a nine-section whip. According to the description, the rocket launcher was very powerful, but had an ammunition limit. Although the ammunition could be automatically restored, the cooldown was very long. For Luo Jun, it was not as useful as the Wanjun Hammer.

As for the nine-section whip, it is an offensive and defensive weapon that requires coordinated skills to use, and is not suitable for Luo Jun.

As for the remaining one, it is a legendary-level contract.

This is also a very practical treasure, a consumable item. There are three of them in total, and each has a fixed format. Both parties write the specific terms in the blank space, and it will take effect after signing and fingerprinting. If violated, there will be compulsory measures to restrict and punish.

This kind of contract exists at all levels, with different levels of effectiveness and different penalties for breach of contract. If it is a low-level contract, if the realm and cultivation are strong enough, it may be possible to rely on vitality to resist the punishment for breach of contract, but once a legendary contract is signed, even if it is a feathered one, it dare not violate it.

This is not bad... Luo Jun nodded. If there is a chance, he can find a way to get it.

"Excuse me, what does this mysterious treasure at the end mean, please look forward to it?"

Just as Luo Jun was calculating what price he would have to pay for the legendary contract, someone in the audience raised his hand and asked.

Luo Jun was stunned when he heard this, and turned to the last page. He indeed found an irregular silhouette with a big question mark on it and the words "Mysterious treasure, stay tuned."

"This is a surprise that Yuanqiang Group has prepared for all of our guests." Ayun on the stage said with a smile, "Of course, the group's inventory contains more than just these three legendary treasures. In particular, our chairman's personal collection contains many treasures that are even more precious than these three."

"In order to thank everyone for their support over the years, the chairman promised that at the end of the treasure appraisal conference, he would contribute one of his own collections for everyone to appreciate and bid on. But the specific piece needs to be adjusted temporarily according to the auction results of the previous twelve treasures. Even Ayun doesn't know at the moment. But the only thing that can be guaranteed is that this mysterious treasure is more powerful and more precious than the three in the album!"

After listening to her, the participants below began to talk.

There is another surprise... Luo Jun nodded. It seems that it would be better to save some money for the final mysterious gift?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Alontan's voice in my mind.

"Master, look at the fifth epic weapon!" Luo Jun was slightly stunned. He flipped the album forward to the fifth one and found that the photo in the picture was the kind of rubber shorts often worn by workers. It looked similar to rubber overalls and was usually worn when doing dirty work to prevent it from getting dirty and to facilitate washing.

However, this one looks dirty, covered in blood, and with many gaps between the seams. It looks scary and weird, more like something a perverted murderer would wear.

But these are secondary. The instructions next to it attracted Luo Jun's attention.

Name: Horrible Leather
Level: Epic

Introduction: This piece of equipment was worn by a notorious cold-blooded butcher. It was made from the skins of countless victims. Its cruelty and resentment made it a piece of armor with extraordinary functions.

Function 1: Blood stains: The whole body is covered with blood stains, which carry the victim's resentment and anger, greatly increasing defense. At the same time, once attacked, these resentments will attach to the attacker, causing a lasting fear effect on him. This effect is passively activated, does not consume vitality, and lasts for ten seconds.

Function 2: Weapon of Death: When wearing this equipment, there will be an additional mental deterrent effect on intelligent creatures.

Function 3: Evil Ghost: After activation, you can summon many evil ghosts to help fight. The chance consumes 30 breaths of vitality. The evil ghost can exist for a maximum of one hour, and the cooling time is one hour. During the cooling time, the blood stain effect is invalid.

Note: When I wear it, I can hear their screams all the time, hehehehehe...

…………

Luo Jun looked at the description of this treasure. It was obvious that this was a set from the same series as the human-opening device and the human-hanging hook!

I didn’t expect to get two sets in one market...it’s like a dream!
Moreover, if viewed alone, this terrifying skin is not a particularly powerful treasure, and other people's bids for it should not be high. In this way, Luo Jun's chances of succeeding are greatly increased!

If successful, there will only be one piece left to complete the set. I don't know what the final effect of the full set will be...

Full of anticipation, Luo Jun's hands were trembling slightly as he held the album.

"What's wrong with you?" Ling Xin noticed his strangeness and asked in a low voice, "Did you see what you wanted?"

"Oh..." Luo Jun waved his hand: "Nothing..."

Luo Jun agreed on the surface, but reminded Alontan in his mind that he must get this thing!

"By the way..." Ling Xin suddenly touched her hair. The bow tied behind her head made the already beautiful girl even more charming, enough to make any man fall in love with her at first sight.

"Did you buy this headband because you think blue suits me?"

Luo Jun was stunned by Ling Xin's question. After hesitating for a moment, he replied, "You can't choose the color of the treasure. Function is more important than style..."

"Indeed..." Ling Xin nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What color do you think suits me?"

Luo Jun was stunned again, thinking what the hell is this?
Seeing his hesitation, Ling Xin pressed the issue, "To be honest, I won't agree with an answer like this."

Seeing her serious attitude, Luo Jun couldn't help but think carefully. For some reason, the scene when he first met Ling Xin a few years ago flashed through his mind.

Ling Xin did not come to No. 2 Middle School with other students at the beginning of the first year of high school. She transferred here two months after the beginning of the school year. At that time, most of the other students in the class were already familiar with each other, and suddenly there was a new student, and everyone was very curious.

Especially, she is such a beautiful girl.

Luo Jun's impression of the specific circumstances of that day was a little vague, but he vaguely remembered that the girl who was introduced to everyone by the head teacher was standing in front of the podium. She had a high ponytail and a lavender bow tied behind her head.

"I think a lighter purple might suit you better..." Luo Jun didn't know why he recalled this scene, but when Ling Xin asked this question, the scene suddenly emerged from the depths of his memory.

"I see..." Ling Xin looked at Luo Jun and smiled slightly: "Thank you for the headband you gave me."

"Eh?" Luo Jun was stunned: "Didn't I thank you just now?"

"Really? I don't remember." After saying that, Ling Xin leaned her hands on the table, held her chin, and looked at the stage: "The treasure appraisal conference is about to begin."

As they were talking, the first treasure had been brought to the stage and the host Ayun had begun to introduce it.

Luo Jun flipped through the album. It was an epic pistol with average power and special effects. There was nothing particularly outstanding about it, so he did not bid for it. He just browsed through several other epic items. As a result, apart from the terrifying skin, there was nothing else that caught people's attention.

Soon, this round of bidding ended, and all interested people recorded the treasures they were willing to pay on the bidding board. However, the backend still needed to compare the bids of everyone.

This is because the result may affect the customer's subsequent bid. After all, if the customer does not know whether he has won the bid or not, he may bid the same treasure for different items. Therefore, in principle, the comparison must be completed and the result announced before the next round can proceed.

How long will it take? When Luo Jun buys something online, he has to compare prices from three different stores. If there are 20 people bidding, it will be a big project to compare prices. Even if a round of auction is controlled within half an hour, it will be almost dawn when all 12 items are finished.

Fortunately, the speed of the comparison in the background of Yuanqiang Group was much faster than Luo Jun expected. The result came out in less than ten minutes. In the end, the pistol was bought by a man wearing a hat.

Ayun immediately offered the second treasure, which was a pair of shoes that could increase movement speed and jumping ability, as well as a powerful attack skill... However, Luo Jun didn't think much of these functions and let others bid.

Just like that, treasures were brought to the stage one by one for everyone to bid on, but Luo Jun never made a bid.

Finally, it was the fifth round, and a clothes hanger was pushed onto the stage, with the horrifying blood-stained skin hanging on it!
