Chapter 973 Picking up a Bargain
What can you do with more than 100,000 gold coins? In Lin Mu's opinion, you can only auction some basic supplies. If you want to auction rare items like legion orders, it's impossible. Even the reserve price is not enough!
For the legion order, it is impossible for Lin Mu not to desire it. Except for Yu Jin and Feng Zhong who did not urge him, other legion leaders have been urging him to get the legion order. After all, he is the Dragon Lord, blessed by heaven and earth, and the chance of getting the legion order is much higher than that of these tiger generals.
Establishing a legion recognized by heaven and earth is more efficient and stronger.
However, this time point happens to be the most critical preparation stage for the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Lin Mu can only choose the important and give up the trivial. Even if the achievements of the first three legions in the world are still there, he will focus on the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
He just experienced a spiritual transformation in this trade-off. He has always believed in one word, fight! ! Fight against the current, fight more with the wind!
When Lin Mu heard about the appearance of three unverified legion orders, he actually had several crazy ideas in his mind. The first was to rob directly. With Huang Zhong, a god general, he dared to do such a thing; the second was to write IOUs. With his reputation and popularity, it was not impossible to write a few IOUs; the third was to auction items, auction rare items in the territory, auction hidden intelligence, auction information about famous generals, etc.
However, after experiencing a spiritual transformation, Lin Mu did not choose any of these ideas. Fighting is possible, but not necessarily. These legion orders can actually enhance the power of the lords of China, which may bring some impact to the entire situation. Maybe there will be good changes.
"Ding!~~~" A pleasant metal jingle sounded and echoed throughout the auction venue.
This signal means that the second stage, that is, the formal auction, is about to begin.
And Lin Mu also heard a series of successful auction prompts in his ears. Soon, those barracks drawings and some rare resources were directly transferred to his backpack. The empty backpack was suddenly full.
The Yuanlong ring can be used now, but it is different from the backpack. After the system rewards or system functions are used, the items are generally directly transferred to the backpack, and will not be transferred to space rings or marching bags.
…
When everyone heard the jingle, their bodies could not help but straighten slightly, and the leisurely look on their faces gradually disappeared, and they were filled with solemnity. Next, there was a scene of dragon fighting tiger. Especially the great lords who made a wave of war money, they were rich and powerful!
After a while, a tall figure appeared on the auction table. Everyone looked intently and saw a beautiful young woman who was a little older. She was wearing a white tight backless dress, with a calm smile on her face, matched with a cool and cold makeup, and a charming look, showing her unique mature woman temperament. The tender and beautiful back was exposed, showing a perfect figure in the eyes of the public.
However, when everyone saw her, they did not feel her enchanting charm, but a sense of distance that was sometimes close and sometimes far.
"I didn't expect you to invite her to be the auctioneer (auction host)." Xuanyuan Changying sighed softly.
Everyone nodded when they heard this, as if they all knew who this woman was. However, Lin Mu was confused because he didn't know this woman at all.
Although he had doubts in his heart, Lin Mu didn't ask, fearing that it would be too abrupt.
Lin Mu sat on a wide chair with a calm face like the other lords, looking at the auctioneer in silence. She was wearing ordinary clothes made in the game, without attributes, and would not be popular in the Han Dynasty because it was too exposed and non-mainstream! Many players' strange ideas can actually be realized, but it is difficult, and even more difficult to get the system to recognize it.
"My host of this auction, my name is Yan Sulan, here on behalf of Yanhuang Town to welcome everyone to come."
"Without saying too much, next, it's the first auction item!" Yan Sulan was very straightforward, and went straight to the point without any lines. Such a clean and neat attitude immediately attracted the favor of many people. Of course, it is also because of her appearance and charm.
"One million units of rice grain! Starting price, 1500 gold coins! Each bid is 10 gold coins!" The heroic auctioneer shouted.
No earth-shattering rare items appeared. Lin Mu looked at everyone and found that they were all relieved. This first item was not a legion order or other treasures.
Food, it's too ordinary!
For a while, no lord bid...
Others were not interested, but Lin Mu was. Food is hard currency and must be bought!
However, the price of this food has tripled!
It used to be about 5 copper coins per unit, but now it has become 15 copper coins!
Although the price has tripled, Lin Mu still wants to buy it. It's only 1500 gold coins, no big deal.
"1510 gold coins!" Lin Mu said.
Lin Mu's voice, like a huge bell, echoed throughout the auction house. You know, this auction house can accommodate 30,000 people, it's very huge.
This auction venue is actually similar to a football field, except that it has a dome.
"The guest in the VIP room, Lord Lin Mu, bids 1510 gold coins. Who wants to compete?!" Yan Sulan said in a deep voice.
Her voice also echoed in the venue. Obviously, Yan Sulan's strength is not low, reaching the level of a general in the initial stage of the Xuan level.
Lin Mu bid, but no one followed. After a moment of silence, Yan Sulan didn't even say the one, two, three process, and directly said it was a deal!
"The next auction item is 100,000 units of rare dried fish. It is rich in nutrition and is a good military ration for marching and fighting. Moreover, it has attribute bonuses. Eating dried fish can quickly restore physical strength during the duration. The auction price is also 1,500 gold coins, and the price increases by 10 gold coins each time!" Yan Sulan said quickly.
Damn... The second item is food again. For a while, the players below began to get emotional. Players who can get a place to enter this auction are obviously not ordinary players.
"I bid 1,510 gold coins!" Lin Mu bid again. Ordinary dried fish with attributes actually cost 150 copper coins per unit.
Yan Sulan was slightly relieved when she heard Lin Mu's bid. She felt the emotions of the players on the scene the most strongly. Although she didn't care about any rewards at all, she agreed to host it and would go all out. She didn't want anything to happen to the auction.
"1,600 gold coins!" At this time, a player below bid.
"Someone offers 1,600 gold coins. Is there anyone who wants to bid?" The auction gradually entered a good stage.
"1,700 gold coins!" Lin Mu bid again. Food with attributes is still quite popular. The price was raised to 1,700 gold coins. The players who wanted to compete were silent for a while, but still did not bid.
Soon, Lin Mu pocketed the dried fish again.
"Is Lord Lin Mu very short of food?" In the auction room, Jiang Chenglong narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Very short of food... With a large family and a large business, the daily consumption is very large. The soldiers in my territory basically do not farm or collect resources, but concentrate on military training. And I ensure that their diet is in place, and there is meat for every meal." Lin Mu nodded.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up slightly. This was the first time that Lin Mu talked about these details. In the past, even if everyone asked, Lin Mu would change the subject and did not talk in detail. It seems that Lin Mu's attitude has changed.
"Focus on training, have meat for every meal, so luxurious?!" Ji Beiqin exclaimed. Even though they were rich, their soldiers did not have such benefits. Moreover, many lords implemented the military settlement system, that is, when the soldiers had training tasks, they concentrated on training, and when it was farming season, they turned into farmers and cultivated.
"So! Food has always been in short supply for me, especially food with attribute bonuses, which is even more scarce." Lin Mu smiled.
"The following is the third auction item, 30,000 military general transfer orders! The reserve price is 60,000 gold coins, and the price will increase by 100 gold coins each time!" The auction continued.
When Lin Mu heard the auction item information, his heart jumped suddenly. Good guy, this auction item should belong to a great lord present.
Lin Mu was very interested in this third auction item! Each military general transfer order is only 2 gold coins, cheap!
Lin Mu waited for a while and found that no player bid again. In fact, if there is a shortage of military general transfer quotas, the starting barracks will do. There is no need to buy military general transfer orders. What they lack is not quotas, but skills!
Lin Mu observed the great lords present and found that Zhao Qiyin frowned slightly. I didn't expect that these 30,000 military commander transfer orders were his.
After the expedition war, the price of military commander transfer orders plummeted. Because every lord basically looted a large number of military commander transfer orders, the supply exceeded the demand!
Lin Mu bid again: "60,100 gold coins!"
No one wanted it, so he picked up the bargain!
