Magus Tech Chapter 140: Dream girl and manganese zoisite

Inside the auction house.

Li Cha, Pandora, Gero and Gero's guards walked into the auction venue and followed the guide into a box on the upper floor of the venue.

The box is not small, more than ten square meters, with several soft and comfortable seats, Pandora unceremoniously occupied the largest one, yawned and fell asleep on it. Richard and Ge Luo had no choice but to choose the other two who were one size smaller, while Ge Luo's guards stood around.

Putting aside the curtain on one side of the box, Li Cha looked outside, overlooking the entire auction venue, and found that it was very delicate.

The entire auction venue is not very big. After all, there are not many people who can participate in the auction. They are either nobles or rich people. However, the venue is not too small, with almost 300 seats, plus some boxes, it can accommodate nearly 350 people, fully meeting the needs. At this time, more than half of the seats in the venue were filled with people. People were talking about it, it was so lively.

Ge Luo in the box said: "Basically, they came here for the 'test-free certificate'. Originally, they wanted to get it by snatching it, but they all failed, so they had to sit here honestly and rely on it." Competing for financial resources. Every family suffered losses last night, and I heard that some of their direct bloodlines were killed, so there will inevitably be anger, and it will be a good show to wait a while."

Li Cha glanced at Gro, who seemed to be gloating, and said, "Don't worry, these people are robbing you of the 'exemption certificate'? Since they are all angry, they will spend a lot of money in a fit of anger. What do you do if you can't get any of the 'test-free certificates' auctioned off?"

"Oh, just them?" Groo was slightly disdainful, "Although they are not small families, they all have a lot of money. But most of the money has to be used for daily expenses to maintain the family. The operation is only good, and there are not many that can be taken out.

If you can mortgage your territory, real estate, or shops, I really dare not compare with them, but the auction house does not accept real objects, only the official gold coins of the Emerald Kingdom. As for gold coins, I really don't know who can have more than me. I am a prince, logically speaking, the entire Emerald Kingdom has a part of me, so there are as many gold coins as you want? "

"Alas." Gro suddenly thought of something again, sighed, "It's a pity it's not earlier. I heard that earlier, when the Emerald Kingdom was still powerful, the royal family's words were much better than now. Yes. At that time, if there was such a thing as a "exemption certificate", it would not cost money at all, but only a word, and the nobles below would obediently dedicate it to the royal family. Unfortunately, the power of the royal family has weakened a lot now, and the nobles are getting worse and worse. The more disobedient you are, the more disobedient you are. However, even so, I have the confidence to smash them to death with gold coins."

"So, are you going to auction off all three 'test-free certificates'?"

"I have this idea." Gro smiled, full of confidence, and looked at Li Cha, "But if you want one, Li Cha, I will naturally give it to you."

"No, you can do whatever you want." Li Cha smiled.

"Ah..." Ge Luo only thought that Li Cha was speaking politely, and didn't think much about it.

Li Cha continued to look outside the box, and saw that while he was talking, the number of people in the auction venue had increased a lot, and the attendance rate had almost reached 60%.

Then seventy percent...

Eighty percent...

After 80% of the time, the number of people entering the venue began to decrease, and finally reached about 85% and stopped increasing.

It's no wonder, after all, it is impossible for all the nobles in the entire Cuijin City to come here, 85% of them are already nearly 300 people, which is an extremely terrifying number.

At this time, an auctioneer wearing a black dress and about fifty years old appeared, stepped onto a high platform in the center of the auction, knocked the gavel on the table, and said directly without much nonsense: "The auction Start!"

The audience was silent.

"The first auction item, please." The auctioneer said bluntly, "It is a miniature stone statue from the famous master sculptor Habax."

After the auctioneer finished speaking, someone walked up to the stage with a tray and showed a miniature pink stone statue more than ten centimeters high for everyone to see. I saw that it was a naked girl, the sculpture was lifelike, no matter the expression on the face, the realistic facial features, or the protruding breasts, the tight thighs had no flaws. It can be regarded as a masterpiece of craftsmanship, and it can be seen that the author has spent a lot of effort.

"Master Habax, named this statue the Dream Girl. It is his latest work in the past six months. It definitely satisfies many people's imagination of the dream lover. Whether it is placed at home as a decoration, or It’s good to play in your spare time.” The auctioneer pointed to the stone statue and boasted, and then announced: “The starting price of the statue is 5 gold coins, and each increase should not be less than 20 silver coins.”

"Okay, is there anyone asking for a price?" the auctioneer asked, waiting for everyone to call.

The method of bidding is also simple. Everyone has a number plate, and raising the number plate once represents a price increase. Of course, you can also directly call out the amount of the price increase.

Gero's number plate is number 1, and Richard's number plate is number 2.

Li Cha guessed that this was definitely not a coincidence. It should be that the auction house specially reserved the smallest number plate for Gero in order to please Gero. This also shows from a certain angle that Gero is the person with the highest status in the entire auction.

The reason why Gero is confident to auction off all three "examination certificates". There is no other reason, such as overwhelming people with power, and being rich and self-willed.

Thinking about this, Li Cha looked at the auction venue with great interest, watching everyone's reactions, but found that it was very deserted.

Not only was it deserted, but it was dead silent. For more than a minute, no one asked for a price. The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became a little weird and awkward.

It's not because the statue is trash. According to the quality of the statue, it only sells for 5 gold coins, which is already a low price. After all, Richard spent 100 gold coins to buy a huge ruby. The reason why the nobles remained silent was because most of them came here on the basis of "exemption certificates", and they didn't want to waste money on some "dream girl", not even a single gold coin.

As a result, the first item in the auction was about to fail.

The auctioneer on the stage looked a bit ugly, and many nobles looked at him coldly without cooperation.

The auctioneer wiped the sweat off his face, took a deep breath, and was about to announce the result helplessly, when Li Cha raised his sign and bid aloud.

"No. 2! Increase the price once, 5 gold coins and 20 silver coins!" The auctioneer immediately shouted, the muscles on his face trembling with excitement, "One time on the 2nd, has anyone increased the price?"

"Twice on the 2nd, 5 gold coins and 20 silver coins, has anyone increased the price?" the auctioneer shouted, scratching its neck.

"Three times on the 2nd, 5 gold coins and 20 silver coins. Has anyone increased the price? No, that's good, deal!" The auctioneer made a final decision, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Although the stone statue sold for 5 gold coins and 20 silver coins, it hardly made any money, but at least it avoided the embarrassing scene of failing to sell. Regardless of gain or loss, the auctioneer waved his hand and asked the staff to send the things to Richard and Gero's box.

Originally, according to the principle, the payment for the goods will not be handed over until the end of the auction, but that is a system established only in modern auctions. How convenient.

Soon, the things were delivered to the box, and Li Cha paid quickly.

Ge Luo looked at Li Cha strangely, and asked in a puzzled voice, "Your Excellency Li Cha, what is the use of this thing?"

"Well, I just like it a little bit, and the price is not expensive anyway." Richard said.

"Uh, okay." Gero stopped asking.

Actually, the reason Li Cha auctioned off the stone statue ~IndoMTL.com~ is naturally not because he likes it, and it is impossible to like it. The real reason is that Li Cha fell in love with the material used to carve stone statues - pink stone.

Li Cha doubts that this pink stone is not an ordinary material, but manganese zoisite. Manganese zoisite is a variant of zoisite, which is pink because it is rich in manganese.

Li Cha auctioned off the stone statue in order to crush it and extract the manganese element inside. After all, some of the manganese was used to make the cobalt blue glass, so the reserves are already insufficient and need to be replenished in time.

Such behavior is naturally suspected of paying back the bead, but Li Cha doesn't care.

Compared to stone statues, Li Cha feels that the scarce manganese element is more precious, and it is worth more than 5 gold coins without investing a lot of energy to find it.

Thinking about this, Li Cha put away the pink stone statue and looked out of the box.

In the venue, the auction is still going on.
