Chapter 767, selling at sky-high prices
The first item was sold, and then the second bottle of potion was brought up.
The auctioneer did not introduce it, but just lifted the silk and announced, "The rules remain as usual, everyone can start bidding."
"600~!"
"1200."
“….”
“7000….”
The price went straight to 7,000, and the number of bidders began to decrease.
Lilith glanced beside her. The old man walked to the window and raised the wooden sign in his hand, "8,000 gold."
"The distinguished guest on the second floor bids 8,000 gold. Is there any increase in price?" the auctioneer repeated.
"9000."
The old man continued to increase the price, "12,000..."
When the price reached 12,000, no one started to increase the price.
The auctioneer asked three times, and finally Lilith bought it.
Wu Heng listened and did not stop this matter.
She has already given her one bottle, and now she wants a second bottle. It is her own choice.
Follow the rules of the auction.
Helping her secretly would only reduce the value of the potion in her heart.
Dong dong dong~!
There was a knock on the door, and the staff brought the medicine over.
Seeing Wu Heng in the room, the staff was also slightly startled.
Wu Heng gestured to the side, "This adult bought it."
"Sir, your potion." The staff''s attitude became more respectful.
Lilith put away the potion, and the old man took out pieces of gold bricks and began to pay the auction price.
Several staff members began to check the money.
Downstairs, the auction continues.
The third bottle cost 36,000 gold coins and belonged to an old man in the middle downstairs.
The price of the fourth bottle was 37,000 gold coins, and it was bought by a woman.
Then, the last bottle was brought up.
The auctioneer reminded softly, "Everyone, the starting price for the last bottle is still 500 gold. If you miss today, I don''t know when the next auction will be held. Maybe there won''t be one in the future. Please start!"
The whole place was silent for a few seconds, and then someone spoke.
"7,000 is just a bottle of potion. There is no need for everyone to fight like this."
"Indeed, this gentleman is right. Treasure Island has made so much money, we can''t let him make any more, 8,000."
"For the race with long lifespan, please don''t take it from us, 9,000."
"We can''t let this kid Wu Heng earn too much. Everyone, calm down, 9,050."
The whole place started to become noisy.
People are shouting not to increase prices randomly, but prices are still rising rapidly.
The final price was set at 50,000 gold coins.
"Fifty thousand gold at a time, has anyone mentioned it further? Any expenses are not worth investing in yourself..."
"Fifty thousand for the second time. Guests on the second floor. Potions are rare. This is the last chance to increase the price."
The whole place remained quiet.
It seems that the price has indeed reached its peak.
Seeing that the price couldn''t be increased, the auctioneer immediately dropped the hammer.
Boom~!
The gavel fell, "Congratulations to Guest No. 387, this bottle of potion is yours."
The guest who was named did not have any smiling faces.
Gritting his teeth, he took out the gold bricks and some notes from the Snake Emblem Consortium from the space ring.
The rest of the people walked out one after another while chatting about the auction.
Dong dong dong~!
There was a knock on the door.
Then, Shilagui walked in from the door, first saluted Lilith, and then said, "Several elders from the headquarters will leave directly by boat."
"So fast?" Wu Heng was a little surprised.
"I''m a little anxious."
Wu Heng looked at Lilith and said, "Chief, I''m going to see off the elders. The carriage back to the association is still waiting at its original location."
Lilith waved her hand gently, and Wu Heng took Xila Gui and walked out of the room.
…
In the carriage.
Wu Heng was sitting on one side, and opposite him was Kelmik, the leader and deputy of Hongwenhui.
"Mr. Kelmick, are you in such a hurry to go back?"
Kelmick said with a smile: "There are still many things that I need to deal with in this department."
"It''s not too late. I''ll take you for a walk around the island." Wu Heng once again persuaded him to stay.
After all, we are all colleagues of Hongwenhui, so we still need to be more enthusiastic.
"Let''s have a chance next time!" Kelmick said.
Wu Heng then asked, "Did you get anything from the auction?"
"Originally, the leader asked me to bring back a bottle, but the price was a bit unexpected." Kelmik was a little embarrassed.
For the leader, the price of the medicine is a bit high, but it is not out of reach.
I just didn''t expect the price to be exaggerated.
Hearing that the other party did not buy the potion, Wu Heng looked hesitant.
Then he gritted his teeth and took out a bottle of potion and a watch from the space ring, and said: "Mr. Kelmik, this watch is the latest product from Treasure Island. I hope you don''t dislike it. This bottle of potion is reserved for myself. Yes, now to Chief Claudio."
Kelmik raised his eyebrows and said, "That''s not the case. Just wait until next time."
"I don''t have the ability to take care of all the others. The leader must take them back." Wu Heng said.
Kelmik saw that the other party was serious and couldn''t shirk anymore, "Okay, thank you, island owner. I will also convey your thoughts to the leader."
"Yeah." Wu Heng nodded.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the port.
Kelmik and several other people from the headquarters greeted Wu Heng respectively after getting off the carriage.
Just boarded the scheduled cargo ship.
The ship slowly left, and Wu Heng also boarded the cargo ship again.
The matter of giving the potion to the leader of Hongwenhui was originally planned.
This first-level potion is only valuable in this world, and is used to establish relationships with the higher ups.
It still feels worthwhile.
Especially the leaders of the Holy See are very prejudiced against themselves.
Relying on Lilith alone, it may be difficult to have any say among the five ruling leaders. …
Return to the island owner''s mansion.
After returning, Wu Heng called Xila Gui.
Asked about Lilith''s situation.
Confirm that the other party has returned to the dormitory and currently has no intention of going out.
It seems that this person has no plans to leave.
Wu Heng scratched his nose. Lilith was in charge of the Secret Whisperers Association. It was still intelligence work. Isn''t she so busy?
Do you want to remind her that there is nothing to do on the island and she can almost go home.
But I just thought about it and couldn''t really say it.
It can be said that in the entire association headquarters, the relationship between myself and Lilith is the best.
Keep it up.
After discussing with Sheila Gui for a few words, she hung up the phone.
Afternoon time.
The gold coins after the auction were escorted to the island owner''s mansion. The maids and city hall staff began to count them, and then sent them to the underground treasure house together.
Wu Heng continued to talk to Shanara.
He told the other party about the success of the auction and that the prices of the medicines were all sold at sky-high prices.
…
Zombie World, Korean Rescue Team.
In the chief''s office.
The middle-aged man held a cigarette in one hand and a phone in the other. As he talked, his face became more serious.
After putting down the phone, he took two heavy puffs of cigarette and dialed a number again.
Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on the door, and a woman in professional attire walked in, "Chief."
"In the intelligence department, is there no news about skeletons with superpowers?" the chief asked.
The woman shook her head, "I have secretly asked several survivors at the other side''s base, but no accurate information has been sent back."
The chief took another two puffs of cigarette, and then said, "Notify me and contact the Sanbu Port again. This time I want to know the other party''s appearance and whereabouts."
"Yes, Chief."
…
Early the next morning.
Inside the tavern on Treasure Island.
Bard, describing the situation in the auction house.
When they heard that the highest price was 50,000 per bottle, everyone in the tavern was stunned.
Fifty thousand gold coins... to buy a potion.
This is crazy!
"With so much money, it would have to fill a cabin!"
"It sounds like you''ve seen so many."
"I''ve never seen so much money, and I haven''t caught so many fish! There are definitely so many."
"Oh my God, how many times can I find women with this money?"
"A woman cast from gold will last a lifetime."
Everyone sighed with emotion.
Then someone else said, "By the way, the Holy See is closed. You can''t even see the priests when you pass by there."
"Maybe it''s because there are so many people on the island recently, so we should close it temporarily."
…
The island owner''s mansion.
Wu Heng had breakfast and walked back to the study.
He glanced at the three ghosts in the room and asked, "Xiao Xiao, why do you keep going out these two nights?"
Xiao Xiaoban held his head high, "Uncle, you don''t want to say that it''s dangerous outside at night, do you?"
"There are still some high-level professionals on the island who are afraid of discovering you and doing something to harm you." Wu Heng said.
"I''m level 18, okay, I can go to college." Xiaoxiao continued, "I made a friend and chatted with her."
Wu Heng glanced at Beni, who shrugged and said he didn''t know.
"Is she... okay?" Wu Heng wanted to ask, but the other party was not afraid of ghosts.
When the words came to my lips, I asked, "Is everything okay?"
"It''s okay. We had a good chat. She probably doesn''t have a father either."
Forehead….
Hearing this, Wu Heng felt sad, and then said: "It''s a good thing for Xiao Xiao to have friends, but we must not tell her our secrets, and don''t let her lie to us."
"What do you mean by cliché?"
"He just went around the corner to inquire about our affairs." Wu Heng said.
Xiaoxiao nodded, "Don''t worry, I feel like she''s not as smart as me."
Wu Heng didn''t say much, and said hello: "Okay, you guys come back first, let''s go to the zombie world to see it, it''s been a few days."
Three ghosts entered the body.
Wu Heng also opened the gate and walked in directly.
…
After walking out of the boundary door, it is still the bedroom of the base.
After sitting on the bed and waiting for a while, Penny flew back from outside.
Said: "There seems to be some changes in the Corpse King. I''m not sure if this is a sign of an upgrade."
"Let me take a look." Wu Heng said immediately.
Penny got back into her body, and the scene was shared in her mind.
In the dim room, the original corpse king had swelled, and the swollen muscles made huge dents under the restraints of the iron chains.
Even the iron chains made a tightening sound.
The corpse king''s skin has clearer blood vessels and beating muscles.
It really looks like it''s about to evolve.
On the side, there were not many corpse cores left in the plastic bag.
Release Penny again.
"How is it? Do you want to evolve?" Penny asked.
Wu Heng said: "It seems so. Let''s feed it for a few more days and see how it goes."
"oh!"
After confirming the corpse king, Wu Heng picked up the walkie-talkie and called Qi Hancai.
Soon, there was a knock on the door, and Qi Hancai walked in with his owl.
After sitting down, he said: "The Korean headquarters has contacted us and wants to exchange supplies as soon as possible. We do not rule out the possibility of trying to find out your information."
Wu Heng narrowed his eyes and said, "Then let''s make a decision tomorrow."
