Chapter 341: The influence of the traveler (middle)
After the large-scale auction of 9,900 gold coins, the prices of the next few items dropped rapidly, falling back below 5,000.
The businessmen in Molai Hong Kong are obviously well-informed, and they don't mean "a fool and a lot of money" at all. They may be willing to spend a little more money to buy high-quality goods, but the fluctuation is not large, and they rarely see each other. The situation of vindictive price hikes. Before Panda Crossing, the two rich people who are often seen in online novels frantically raise prices for face, has not happened so far.
Near ten o'clock, the auctioneer announced the last item for the second round of auctions.
"The soft body armor can be worn under any armor or clothes. It has strong impact resistance and can effectively resist blunt blows. With the inner armor of metal wires, it can also resist piercing and cutting attacks very well." The auctioneer introduced, "The biggest advantage is the magic defense. When attacked by magic, it can absorb 100% of the attack power until the armor is damaged."
As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately boiled, and there were even exclamations from the second floor.
"End...complete magic defense?! How is that possible?!"
"Why would something like this be put in the second round of auctions? At least it should be put in the finale of the third round!"
"Nonsense! This kind of thing shouldn't be sold at all, and it has been distributed by the big men in private!"
The auctioneer did not speak. After the customers discussed it, he raised his hand and made a quiet gesture, and then waited for everyone to be a little quieter and introduced it in detail for the first time.
"This body armor comes from an alchemist who did not want to be named. He developed this wonderful armor based on slime. It has been tested in the Norma line of defense, and its performance is absolutely reliable. .But it also has its shortcomings, that is, the comfort is extremely poor-according to the actual use experiment by the personnel of our chamber of commerce, it is found that it feels like wearing viscose all over the body, which is very uncomfortable. Unless it is a fish man or a lizard man The body is covered with scales, and the feeling is relatively dull, otherwise it is difficult for ordinary people to insist on wearing it for a long time. If it is not for this reason, it is impossible to be put up for auction. "
His eyes swept across the hall, and he said in a deep voice, "Well, if anyone is interested, they can come on stage and try it on in person, and they will understand."
Soon, an adventurous old businessman came to the stage. The waiter picked up the "living body armor" shaped like a slime and put it on his hands, and then saw the armor quickly stretch out a little. A tentacle-like thing spread toward him.
The old merchant made a shrill cry, like a rooster being chased by a cook.
With the wearing of the "living body armor", his screams became more and more tragic, causing many people to cover their ears. And when this "armor" was finally put on, he gasped violently and whispered, "I...I'm dizzy..."
"No way, the body armor will affect the breathing of the skin. If you are not strong enough in heart and lungs, you will definitely become dizzy after a long time." The auctioneer said blankly, "You shouted just now, consuming too much physical strength. "
The old businessman sighed and shook his head: "I can't use this thing, and I believe most people can't use it! It's too... I don't know what to say, anyway, it really doesn't work, it doesn't work! It doesn't work at all!"
The auctioneer asked the waiter to use magic props to control the "living body armor" to return to its original state, and then the waiter helped the old businessman off the stage to rest. He swept his eyes across the audience: "The biological armor with major defects in comfort has a base price of 3,000 gold coins, and each increase shall not be less than 500 gold coins."
There was silence off the field, and after a while, a voice came from the second floor: "Three thousand five hundred gold coins."
This sentence seems to be a signal. The medium and large merchants on the second floor have opened their mouths one after another, and the prices have continued to rise. The small and medium merchants on the ground floor are stunned.
"Strange... Isn't this armor very uncomfortable? Why do they want you to fight for me?" Jack asked in confusion.
Panda smiled and said, "No matter how uncomfortable it is, it's worth it if you can use it to save your life at a critical moment. Besides, they don't necessarily have to wear it by themselves, but for their own captain of the guards.
The kind old businessman next to him also said: "Yes, those big businessmen are different from us, they all have bodyguards. Their bodyguards are very strong, and they can move freely in this kind of armor - even if it is uncomfortable, as long as It's not that they are uncomfortable, who cares?"
It was only then that Jack realized, and he couldn't help sighing: "It's really hard to be a bodyguard for big businessmen!"
"Of course, there is no easy money in the world."
Panda said so, and contacted Aaron (Cold Wind) through private chat: "You sold the armor you used for Yuneruo's experiments?"
"There's no way. People are poor and have short ambitions, and horses are thin and long. I'm so poor that I can't afford the protection fee without your help, and I can't care about that much."
"...How much did you sell it for?"
"I just sold one. Three thousand gold coins, the cost is about one thousand, and the profit is not bad."
"I'm currently at the big auction venue in Molai Port. It's being auctioned here. It's now raised to almost 8,000 gold coins."
"Depend on!"
Han Feng, who was doing the experiment, stared at him, shook his hand, and pulled the scalpel, which made the unfortunate experiment end the pain ahead of schedule.
He sighed, and threw the juvenile sandworm, whose shape had no longer been seen, into the waste tank next to it. The gray-red slime immediately jumped on it, quickly wrapped it completely, and began to digest it slowly.
He himself stood by the abandoned trough and was silent for a long time.
After a while, he shook his head, and a smile appeared on his indifferent face.
"Others can sell high prices. That's because they have the ability. What does it have to do with me? I've already made a high profit, so there's no need to be greedy. Instead of wasting time and tossing about these meaningless things, it's better to concentrate on research and study as soon as possible. better products."
He quickly regained his calm, took out another juvenile sandworm from the magic cage on one side, fixed it on the operating table, and started a new round of experiments.
Inside the auction venue, the bidding is still in full swing. The merchants on the second floor were very interested in this armor. You chased after me and refused to give in to each other. The price was also rising, and it soon surpassed the 10,000 gold mark.
In the end, this body armor with terrible comfort was sold at a high price of 12,000 gold coins. The person who bought it was a big businessman on the second floor.
This price opened Jack's eyes and made Panda sigh deeply. He couldn't help but muttered in his heart: "Who said that science is useless? Who said that building an atomic bomb is worse than selling tea eggs? Technology is the primary productive force!"
