Chapter 92: (two in one)
Invitations have been delivered to the guests. The dignitaries who witnessed the big show left with their own thoughts and walked along the dark passage into the final auction hall.
Sharon also received the invitation letter, she looked down at Wanbaogong who had not received the invitation letter, disgraced, and left with a chuckle.
As the first person to receive the invitation letter, Tang Xiao was led to the first row. This row surrounded the exhibition stand in a ring shape with a large gap between the seats. Tang Xiao saw the people in the same row. The guests basically wore masks and did not pay attention to the outside world.
These people were sitting in the center of the lounge before, and they were the first to receive invitations. It seems that even among the nobles of the alliance, their status is higher than others.
Tang Xiao doesn't care about the relationship between the characters of the alliance residents and the characteristics of the next lot, she just wants to exchange enough game currency, and then enter the next dungeon as soon as possible, the sooner she gets rid of this kind of Knowing nothing is better.
Only strength and experience are the foundation of living in a strange world.
Soon, the first item to be auctioned was presented, the rose red satin slowly fell, and in the glass box was a rag doll the size of her forearm.
"A beautiful rag doll from the Lost Star. The Lost Stars are known to be very good at creating intricate crafts, and [Margaret] is one of those famous creations."
"As a rag doll, Margaret not only has a beautiful appearance, fine workmanship, but also an understanding soul! She will selflessly help her master and fulfill her wishes. "
The auctioneer is a handsome young man. He finished the above introduction without changing his face, and tapped the small golden hammer on the table:
"The starting price of this lot is 0.5 life points, and the minimum increase is 0.5 life points. Now, the auction starts!"
Tang Xiao looked at the doll, the rag doll's body was tattered, there was one eye missing in the eye socket, the blond hair was sparse, ugly and strange.
Forgive her, she really can't see anything "beautiful and cute".
However, for such a lot that is out of tune with the exhibition stand, the people below show great enthusiasm.
"1 hit point once!"
"1.5 HP once!"
"2 hit points once!"
Tang Xiao stared at [Margaret], wondering if it was an illusion, the only remaining black glass bead eye of the ragdoll seemed to be looking at her.
The doll's mouth was roughly cut open by scissors, and the real smile reached the bottom of the ear, which was very scary.
"2 hit points once—"
Tang Xiao raised the sign.
"2.5 hit points! Looks like a distinguished guest is interested in this beautiful doll, will she end up getting it? Anyone come up with a higher price?"
At this moment, someone handed a small communication headset to Tang Xiao, pressed to answer, and Sharon's magnetic voice sounded on the other side: "Miss Tang, [Margaret] It is a well-known ghost doll in the field. Its characteristics are mainly cursed and murdered... It will attack the owner indiscriminately. If there is no multiple protection, it is extremely dangerous to photograph it, please be careful."
Tang Xiao glanced around, only the masked guests in the first row were holding the placards, and those sitting in the back row looked like they were wise and protected.
The legend of ghost dolls has existed since ancient times. They are evil, sinister and unknown items. According to the introduction of the clerk, these items are not allowed to be traded in the alliance domain.
One thing the clerk was right about The noble families enjoy various privileges together.
In addition, normally speaking, the previous novice trials should not be difficult, how can this illusion of "rewards far outweigh the effort" not make people addicted?
Tang Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth rather bored, remembering the few players he had met in the lounge before, and how the rest of them respected them.
Someone has already offered a price of 3 life points, Tang Xiao raised his wrist, and the sign was raised again.
"3.5 hp! 3.5 hp once—"
Tang Xiao said to Sharon on the other side of the headset, "Thank you."
It didn't matter if she bought it or not, but after Sharon's introduction, she became more and more sure that she had to buy it - this is obviously a prop!
Although the restrictions are large, it is easy to backlash, the effect is unknown and ugly, but it is a prop after all.
Tang Xiao, who is extremely short of props and doesn't think life points are expensive at all, thinks so.
Next, she raised two more cards, and the bid was fixed at 5.5 life points.
"5.5 hp once, 5.5 hp twice...deal!"
The glass box was removed, and Tang Xiao got a small golden card.
"This is proof that you will pick up the lot later."
Tang Xiao: "Can I take it now?"
The staff was stunned: "The lot is unstable, and we are worried that it will cause danger."
Tang Xiao: "My ability can control it, there will be no change."
The staff believed it to be true, and really delivered the cursed doll directly to Tang Xiao, and only reacted after leaving: Isn't this man's ability thunder and lightning? How to control Margaret?
However, Tang Xiao has already unpacked it three or two times, and dragged her out with the ugly braids of the ghost doll.
She took a close look and sighed, "It's ugly."
The surrounding air was suddenly quiet, not only the staff and the guests in the back row, but even a few big bosses wearing masks turned their heads slightly to "look" at her, the scene was extraordinarily strange.
Under the eyes of the public, Magrati's face with a strange smile froze, revealing a bit of resentment.
[Margaret is not an ugly child! Ah ah ah ah ah! All who say Margaret is ugly are going to die! ]
—As we all know, the ghost doll Margaret is not only ugly, vicious, but also very small. All those who speak ill of her will be killed by her in various cruel ways. In front of her, only praise can be used to describe, in order to effectively avoid Margaret's anger.
Tang Xiao turned a blind eye to the abnormality of the ghost doll, and even broke its two small arms back and tied it with the braid on the hair. It was finally formed into a small ball, which was then stuffed into the pocket.
Ghost Doll: ...a shame!
It trembled wildly, endless resentment and evil thoughts were released from the little doll and rushed towards Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao stretched out a finger, pressed it on the ghost doll's forehead, and said in a low voice, "Quiet!"
The mellow spiritual power is like a trickle, penetrating the rich resentment and getting into the ghost doll's body. The ghost doll immediately panicked and wanted to seize the spiritual power, but didn't care about the outside world.
Tang Xiao threw a trace of spiritual power and ran away, and continued to watch the auction leisurely. When others saw that she really restrained Margaret, they couldn't help but be suspicious, and at the same time, he was even more afraid to rashly explore She's down.
This is exactly what Tang Xiao wanted.
Since this prosperous and dilapidated place on the outside has been suppressed by the feudal hierarchy, she might as well use her strength to make the chaotic situation a little more chaotic.
After all, she can't be the only one to be devastated, right?
The episode at the venue was short-lived, and soon, the second auction item was displayed.
This time it was still a glass box, with a small wooden box inside the glass, and a key inserted in the box. Over the key, a beautiful castle garden is projected.
"I believe that after seeing the projection, everyone will feel very familiar... Yes, the second auction item is the famous warrior, noble and savior in the alliance - Earl Weihan, whose name is the most A building of great fame: the Hanging Gardens."
With a lot of adjectives, the auctioneer finally said: "This hanging garden is known as one of the most wonderful and beautiful sights in the alliance field since the new century. But it is a pity Yes, Duke Weihan unfortunately died in a difficult dungeon mission, and his family had to sell all his property due to the huge debt. After careful consideration, the organizing committee decided to selflessly acquire this garden as today's finale One of the auction items, in memory of the great Duke Weihan."
"The starting price for this lot is: 3 HP. The minimum markup is 1 HP, and the auction starts!"
This time, the enthusiasm for the live auction was even higher than the previous one.
Tang Xiao just glanced at the lot, lowered his head disinterestedly, and focused on playing with the ghost doll in his pocket. However, Sharon seemed to fall in love with explaining the lot, and continued to explain to Tang Xiao through the headset:
"Duke Weihan was one of the first saviours to come to the alliance field. In just 50 years, he became the first savior to get through the advanced copy, and was jointly awarded by NB Company and the Convention The title of duke. Before the fall of Duke Weihan, his wealth ranking had already entered the top ten of the Federation. This hanging garden was designed and built by him to celebrate the birthday of his adopted daughter. It took nearly a dozen life points to complete it. Done."
Tang Xiao snorted, "Don't ordinary people have one life point for one year's salary?"
You can build a sky castle garden with a dozen life points. The price ratio is not right.
Sharon was silent for a few seconds before answering: "As alliance residents, we have a longer lifespan, a healthier body and a stronger physique, but all of this needs to be maintained with life points. Most people can't earn life points, and the lucky few who can earn life points, just for the advantage of the status quo, will have nothing left at the end of the year."
"The life points issued by the alliance every year are limited, and one life point is not difficult to obtain, but if you want to accumulate it, even for food, clothing, housing and transportation...it is even more difficult, only nobles can do it. But there are exceptions, like Saviors. Saviors don't have to pay union taxes, and they don't need to worry about living standards. It's easier for them to accumulate life points, and they're more free to use."
Tang Xiao: "Thank you for explaining, I understand."
Extremely disparate class differentiation, strict and irresistible class oppression. She still overestimated this place, the social formation in the alliance field is probably more deformed than she thought.
After a while, the bid price has increased from 3 HP to 7 HP. People are watching each other while holding up placards, as if to compare the price to buy the lot.
Not only do you not see the slightest nostalgic look from them, but... there is even a sense of vultures pecking carrion and dividing up the spoils.
The next session confirmed her intuition. After the Hanging Garden was sold at the price of 8 life points, a series of auction items related to Duke Weihan were sent to the exhibition stand: his scepter, his collection of books, his aircraft, and even the planet under his name...
Most of these were taken away by the masked guests in the first row. They photographed the treasures that were hard to buy at a low price, and then put down their cards calmly. When it came time for a pair of cufflinks, Sharon also shot.
Sharon bought a pair of cufflinks for 5 life points. With a chuckle, he explained to Tang Xiao, "I heard that Duke Weihan's cufflinks have a strong defensive function. My physique has always been inferior to others. This is very suitable for me."
Tang Xiao didn't make a single shot in the next auction, she focused on pinching the ghost doll's face, rubbing her ugly head into a small ball.
Margaret, who has never been so humiliated: mad at me, mad at me, mad at me, mad at me
Driven by anger, the ghost doll's resentment is extremely strong, but it can't be expressed, and the resentment increases.
With the ghost doll full of negative energy, the last lot was moved up, and the auctioneer lifted the cover: "Next, welcome to our last lot, which is also the most valuable and most precious today. The auction is on!"
The black cloth fell, revealing the scene inside.
In the one-person-high glass cabinet, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old was curled up.
The auctioneer said loudly: "I believe everyone knows this beautiful girl, the only heir of Duke Weihan, his most precious property, the 'adopted daughter' who is regarded as the jewel in the palm of your hand - and also the alliance The great creation of science and technology: a perfect intelligent life-Miss Wei Ya!"
"According to legend, when Duke Weihan created her, he not only perfectly copied all the memories, emotions and characters of his beloved daughter in the world, but also made her possess unparalleled wisdom and personality charm. Over the years, Miss Wei Ya has graduated from the Alliance Higher Education Academy with honors, and has won the love and respect of countless people..."
The auctioneer praised "Miss Viagra" loudly and warmly, while pulling the leash around the girl's neck, forcing her to walk out slowly and stand under the light of the display stand.
If it wasn't for someone who knew her, it would be impossible to associate her with an important daughter of high society.
The girl's pupils were dark with a bit of brown, and they were full of strong hatred. This hatred is like substance, scraping through the entire arena like a knife.
Many of the elders sitting below were good friends with her family, they respected her father, and they respected her as well, and they gave her luxurious gifts at her birthday party, never mentioning her The husk comes from the "intelligent life form". Therefore, even the most prepared people did not expect that the moment Wei Han died, they would arrest her and imprison her underground in the name of intelligent beings not enjoying human rights.
Now, the group of people looked at her body lightly, as if there was just an object without personality and no thoughts in front of her. It's full of novelty, contempt, and research ideas. These ugly faces joined together, making Wei Ya unable to close her eyes.
Although she was restrained by the muzzle and couldn't speak, her eyes could see. She looked directly into the eyes of these people, her eyes were splitting!
Tang Xiao frowned and drank the water in his hand, but couldn't swallow it.
The auctioneer took out a whip from the prop box, he threw the whip twice in the air, and the sharp cracking sound proved its sharp material. "It is said that Duke Weihan has set many characteristics for her new body in order to allow her beloved daughter to grow up safely, such as strong resilience."
Still as smooth and white as a newborn.
This also means that no matter how tortured she is, unless she is directly destroyed, the girl will not die, or even coma.
The auctioneer walked back to the auction table, and finally avoided the important point and said the reason for the auction of this "lot":
"As we all know, intelligent life forms cannot enjoy the same rights as human beings. The organizing committee has determined that after the Duke's death, Miss Via will no longer have the same living standards and social status as before. This is undoubtedly sad. So we decided to make it the finale of today's lot, hoping to give her to a distinguished, powerful, wealthy guest in memory of the Duke of Weihan."
"The starting price of this lot is 5 life points, and the minimum increase is 2 life points. Now, the auction starts!"
…
In the whispers of conversation, Tang Xiao fixedly looked at the **** the exhibition stand. The other party was bound by the collar and mouth shackles and had to raise his head, his eyes were so sharp that venom was almost oozing out.
Her body structure is indeed an intelligent life form, but whether it is intuition or spiritual knowledge, Tang Xiao knows that she is a human being.
The auctioneer has not said much, but he can already see the truth. Wei Han is a player who has entered the advanced dungeon. He somehow took over the consciousness or soul of his daughter in the original world and put it into the new body. He thought that he would be able to reunite the family... but he failed. He died in a copy, his property was divided up, and together with his daughter, it was put into the largest auction house in the entire alliance, and in front of many nobles, the auction was open and fair.
At the same time, several other players are escorting the safety of this auction. They may not know what is being auctioned here... maybe they do.
In several corners of the hall, there are different bodyguards patrolling. Now that I think about it, they should mainly pay attention to their own movements.
—The alliance field is so big, but I happened to hear that there are game coins here at this time, so I was attracted here to watch a big show. What's so coincidental?
Tang Xiao touched his teeth with his tongue, thinking it was ridiculous.
What is this, dismount?
Sorry, she is not afraid of anything but poverty now.
If you want to give her a try, I'm afraid you have to weigh yourself a few pounds and a few taels first!
"14 HP once, 14 HP twice..."
Tang Xiao raised his hand card expressionlessly, and a cold voice sounded in the auction hall: "16 life points."
I heard that life points are scarce in the alliance field?
What a coincidence, her life points are too many to be used, so she is not afraid of wasting it!
