at this time.
The staff member spoke again:
"Sir, they have already made concessions. If you continue to pester me, I can only ask you to leave in accordance with the regulations. The auction will start soon, so please put the overall situation first."
The man was silent for a moment and finally said:
"Okay, I will believe you for now. But after the auction, you must come with me. If I find out that you have told half a lie, I will not let you off lightly."
Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
…
Just when the farce had just subsided, the lights in the entire auction venue suddenly changed.
The surrounding lights dimmed, all focused on the auction stage.
I saw a host in a black tuxedo slowly walking toward the auction stage with elegant steps. He has a tall and straight posture, elegant temperament, and every step is calm and powerful.
His hands were wearing white gloves, one hand held a delicate gavel, hanging naturally, while the other hand waved gently to greet the buyers.
When he finally stood on the auction stage, the light shone brighter on him.
He raised his head slightly and glanced around the entire audience, his eyes filled with the confidence to control the entire audience.
With a smile on his face, he gently knocked the gavel in his hand, and the venue suddenly fell silent.
Then, he cleared his throat and said in a magnetic voice:
"Dear guests, welcome to this grand auction. In this moment full of mystery and surprise, I am very honored to be able to stand here and preside over this anticipated auction for everyone."
The host's voice echoed in the venue, clear and powerful.
At this time, everyone in the auction house stopped their other actions and listened nervously and expectantly to the host's words, for fear that they would miss a word.
"First of all, I would like to thank every guest for coming. Your participation makes this auction more exciting. Today, we are gathered here for the common goal of looking for those unique and valuable treasures. Here, everyone Every item has been rigorously screened and appraised to ensure its quality and value. Whether you are a collector, investor, or just a lover of rare treasures, I believe that the treasures presented in today’s auction will be outstanding. , will bring you an unforgettable experience.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the auction house burst into neat applause.
He paused slightly and scanned the audience again, as if making eye contact with every guest.
"Before the auction officially begins, I would like to remind everyone that this auction will follow the principles of fairness, justice, and openness. Every participant has an equal opportunity to bid for the treasure of his choice. At the same time, we also hope that everyone Be able to remain rational and calm and not be swayed by impulse. After all, every item has its own unique value and meaning, and we need to think carefully and make wise decisions.”
The host gracefully raised the gavel in his hand and continued:
"Next, let's look forward to today's first auction. This auction will kick off the auction for us, and I believe it will make everyone's eyes shine. So, what kind of treasure is it? ? Let’s wait and see!”
As the host finished speaking, the atmosphere in the venue became more tense and heated.
Everyone can’t wait to see what the first lot looks like.
"Coming, coming!"
Zhuge Lan shouted excitedly, stretching his neck.
at this time.
The huge curtain behind the auction stage slowly opened, and under the expectant eyes of everyone, a hostess gracefully walked onto the auction stage holding a delicate tray in her hands.
The treasure in the tray was covered by a piece of black cloth. The host turned slightly sideways and gently removed the black cloth covering the appearance of the treasure.
He smiled and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is now presented to you is the first lot of this auction-the Ocean Star Necklace. This necklace is made of rare deep-sea gemstones in the world, and each gemstone is made in It is condensed under the deep sea through time. Under the light, the necklace shines with bright deep blue light, like the mighty power of the sea all gathered in the necklace. "
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the necklace on the tray, and they let out bursts of exclamations.
A lady in gorgeous clothes could not help but whisper:
"This necklace is so beautiful, it's almost irresistible."
The man next to him also nodded in agreement:
"Indeed, such a precious treasure will definitely trigger fierce bidding."
Another young man also said:
"Yes, I heard that deep-sea gems are gems that have been accumulated in the sea for at least hundreds of years, and have been deposited bit by bit. I heard that deep-sea gems that have been deposited for a hundred years are only as big as a peanut. Big, this Ocean Star Necklace, if all the stars are made of deep-sea gems, then these deep-sea gems have been deposited in the sea for at least five or six hundred years!"
The host continued to introduce:
"The Ocean Star Necklace not only has a high collection value, but is also said to possess mysterious power. It is said that the wearer can obtain good luck and blessings, and can even play an unexpected role at critical moments. Of course, this is just a legend, But it also proves how extraordinary this necklace is.”
After the host's introduction, the bidding officially began.
"The starting price is 500,000 gold soul coins, and each bid must not be less than 50,000 gold soul coins."
As soon as the host's voice fell, someone couldn't wait to raise the sign in his hand.
"550,000 gold soul coins!"
Immediately afterwards, another voice sounded:
"600,000 gold soul coins!"
The auction price continued to rise, and the atmosphere on the scene became more and more heated.
Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo were also attracted by the necklace, and the man who had argued with them was also staring at the necklace at this moment, revealing a trace of desire in his eyes.
Zhuge Lan asked Dugu Bo:
"How do you feel?"
Dugu Bo shook his head:
"It's normal. Although the formation speed of this deep-sea gem is indeed very slow, there are actually many deep-sea gems in the sea now, but it's more troublesome to find them."
Zhuge Lan nodded:
"Then don't compete for now, just observe and see."
In the fierce bidding, the price soon exceeded one million gold soul coins.
At this time. The speed of bidding also began to slow down gradually, and everyone was carefully considering whether to continue to bid.
Seeing this, the host said at the right time:
"The Ocean Star Necklace is currently 1.2 million. If you miss it, you will never have another chance. Is there anyone willing to bid higher?"
At this time, a deep voice sounded:
"1.5 million gold soul coins!" (End of this chapter)
