The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

Chapter 114: The Auction Begins

They didn't live together, mainly because they were afraid they couldn't bear it.

Lonely men and widows live together, it is easy to resist breaking through the last step.

Although under his teaching, she learned some door skills, but the feeling of the upper mouth and the lower mouth is still different, the main reason is that the upper mouth dare not use force.

After simply washing up and going out, Ding Youran was ready to go out after waiting for a while, and reached out to hold her hand and got on the hovercraft.

The auction site is located on a certain floor of the Star Castle. The hovercraft ascends along the sightseeing passage. On the way, many players are also standing on the aircraft and flying in the same direction. They should also come to participate in the auction.

Different from the usual formal dress on the battleship, many of them wear the common military uniform of the pioneers. When they are free, everyone wears casual clothes, especially women.

It's rare to relax, many men have beautiful female companions, Li Qing and Ding Youran are not conspicuous among them.

Although he made a big splash half a year ago, everyone is forgetful. After half a year, most of them forget what he looks like.

No one would recognize him even if he stood in front of him, but if he introduced himself——I am Li Qing, the military chief of the Jialan Legion, then many people would be stunned, ‘Wow, it’s you! '

This is also a good thing for Li Qing, he doesn't want to be famous like a star who has no privacy at all.

When I came to the venue, there were several beautiful waiters in cheongsam checking the invitation letter at the door, and they were all natural people, not clones or biochemical people.

When they arrived, one of the beautiful waiters bowed and bowed, and said with a smile on an electronic device:

"Please show me your invitation letter!"

The so-called invitation letter is to swipe the left wrist wheel to verify the identity. There are so many people who come to the auction, and many of them are outside all the year round, it is impossible for one person to send a physical invitation letter.

"Beep!"

The electronic instrument lights up, a beam of clear light is projected on it, and a dark golden pattern emerges on it, with a line of small characters written in the center.

The woman's eyes lit up obviously, and her attitude was more respectful:

"It turns out to be the military chief of the Garan Legion, please wait a moment."

The woman used the wrist wheel to notify the rear, and soon a beautiful woman wearing a silver cheongsam with a slim figure came over, clasped her hands on her lower abdomen, and said with a smile:

"Your Excellency, please follow me."

Li Qing nodded with a smile and followed her.

Looking at the swaying and exquisite figure of this magnificent cheongsam beauty, Li Qing turned his head and said in Ding Youran's ear:

"After the auction is over, you can also buy a few sets of cheongsams."

She whispered:

"I have it. I'll show you how to wear it when I go back."

He raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice:

"Is there any one with high forks!"

Ding Youran was speechless, but a little shy:

"No."

"Then go buy it."

"Um!"

The voice was so low that I could barely hear it.

The cheongsam beauty led him to the back of the auction house, entered a corridor, and saw many doors on the side of the corridor with number plates on them. There was a woman in cheongsam standing at many doors, and one of the doors with the number 17 stood two people. The man was chatting with the beautiful woman in cheongsam at the door.

Seeing Li Qing and Ding Youran passing by, one of the men hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and asked his companion:

"Let's see if that person looks familiar."

The other man who was chatting with the beauty turned his head to take a closer look, and immediately showed a look of surprise on his face:

"It's the military chief of the Garan Legion!"

"Li Qing?"

"Yes, that's him. The one next to him should be Ding Youran, the chief industrial officer of the Jialan Legion."

"When did he come back? I haven't heard from him for half a year. I think he went to do something important."

"No, why are he and Ding Youran so close? A long time ago, wasn't he and Yu Yuefei, the leader of the Jialan Army, together with the Xuanguan? They were on two boats?"

"Big news, two women vying for a husband, this kind of romance novel plot is staged in the Jialan Legion, do you think there will be an earthquake inside the Jialan Legion, which will lead to division?"

The latter glanced at his friend and said:

"Is there a possibility that both women will fall in love with him and serve a husband together?"

"Impossible. Both of them are from military lords, and they are both direct descendants. Their vision is so high, how is it possible, uh, it is not impossible."

He rubbed his hair and said:

"This guy is too fierce. He is a powerful psychic ascender, and he holds a top-level relic, which is also a space-type relic. He also has a super naval commander under his command. Except for his poor background, everything else is top-notch. Among all the pioneers in the entire outpost, it can be ranked in the top five in comprehensive evaluation, it can be regarded as the fifth child of the super diamond, and it is not impossible to attract the hearts of two beauties at the same time."

Another nodded and added:

"His only shortcoming is that he was born in a side branch of the Qinghe Li family. The Qinghe Li family itself is regarded as the lower reaches among the military lords, and the side branch is not taken seriously. I heard that basically did not get much support from the family in the early stage. This achievement is all due to my own hard work, which I admire very much. If I can marry Yu Yuefei and Ding Youran and marry these two families, with the support of the local landlord Yu family, I can immediately make up for the biggest shortcoming. He is one of the top pioneers among all the pioneers of the outpost, as long as there are no major accidents, it will not be a problem to seize a living planet."

"Tsk tsk, a winner in life!"

"envious!"

The two couldn't stop clicking their tongues, watching Li Qing come down to the end of the corridor guided by the beautiful woman in cheongsam, and stopped in front of the No. 2 door.

Before this, there are numbers 1 and 0.

"Mr. Li Qing, this box belongs to the Jialan Legion, please come in!"

Li Qing glanced ahead and asked:

"Who do those two belong to?"

The woman responded immediately:

"Box No. 1 belongs to the Halo Legion, and Box 0 is reserved. It will only be used if there are important figures from the expeditionary force."

"Well, thanks for the answer."

"You're welcome."

The beauty in the cheongsam pushed open the door, and Li Qing motioned for Ding Youran to go ahead.

The arrangement of this box is not a problem. Although he is confident of defeating the current Halo Legion head-on, in the eyes of outsiders, the Halo Legion with a larger fleet, regardless of population, territory, or affiliated players, is more than five times that of Galan. Legion is stronger.

He doesn't care about temporary gains and losses. It's okay to compare now. In a year and a half, when they take down the Reef Lair Galaxy, everyone will naturally know who is stronger.

The box is not big, and the decoration is quite luxurious, but they didn't pay attention to this point. He came to the glass wall without any decoration on the whole side of the box, pressed his finger lightly, a circle of transparent ripples opened, the glass lit up, and quickly changed It is so transparent that one can clearly see that behind the entire wall is the huge auction venue.

The inside can clearly see the outside, but the outside cannot see them.

At this time, the beautiful woman in cheongsam introduced:

"The auction will start later, and all the items will be projected onto the light screen in front of you. You can adjust the distance and bid. I'm outside the door. What can I do?"

Li Qing suddenly reached out his hand to stop his words, turned his head and looked outside the door, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to the cheongsam beauty:

"It's okay, you go out first, I will call you if there is anything to do."

"OK."

She bowed back, and the moment she opened the door, she saw several people standing outside the door of the No. 1 box, surrounded by an extremely handsome man, and the two turned their heads at the same time as if they had sensed.

"Ye Xiao!"

"Li Qing!"

Immediately, the light of spiritual energy overflowed from the eyes of the two of them, but they did not gather momentum.

The two smiled at the same time, and their gaze was interrupted when the door closed.

"That's Li Qing?"

Lu Yi, who was standing next to Ye Xiao, didn't see it, but he guessed it based on the room.

"They should also come for those two flagships."

Ye Xiao smiled and said:

"So what, each depends on his ability!"

On the other side, Lu Qing smiled and said:

"If everyone depends on their own abilities, then we will take one of the flagships. In terms of capital, I don't believe there is any team that can match us now."

Not long after, Li Qing and Ding Youran chatted in the private room for a while, and then heard the crisp bell ringing, looked up through the glass, and could see the huge auction venue outside.

Compared with sitting in the crowd last time, this time you can sit in the box, and the changes in identity and status are particularly real.

"Boom!"

The energetic auctioneer came up to the stage, tapped the small gong lightly with a golden hammer, and said loudly with enthusiasm:

"Welcome all old and new friends to participate in this auction conference. The rules of this session are as follows."

"When everyone enters the venue, it is deemed that the auction house has provided the auction service by default, and you must not regret or give up the auction for this reason afterwards."

"During the bidding process, no loud noises, no collusion to lower the price, no malicious raising of the price, no interference with the normal bidding in any form, violators will be expelled from the auction site, blocked by the auction house, and will not be allowed to enter the bank's property in the future. Relevant auction venue."

"Once the auction item is auctioned, if there is a breach of contract, 20% of the auction item will be paid as liquidated damages. If you refuse to pay, you will be expelled from the auction site and blocked."

"The following are the basic rules of this auction. If you have any questions, please contact customer service for consultation. The auction is now starting. Please take the first lot of this auction."

Two hostesses walked over carrying a silver plate covered with a red cloth. The auction host lifted the red cloth to reveal a crystal card in the silver plate. The host pointed to the card and introduced loudly:

"This is a hundred standard ranger-class cruisers, finished products, full of five-tier cannons and salvo module configurations, including clone crew members, senior crew members, and captains. They are parked at the outpost Star Fort, as long as they are photographed. To be able to enter the battle, the starting price is 200 billion star yuan, and the minimum price increase is 1 billion each time."

"A hundred cruisers."

He turned his head and saw Ding Youran's face moved slightly, he patted the back of her hand lightly and said:

"No, it's too expensive."

She hesitated, and said:

"But this is a hundred finished cruisers."

Li Qing nodded and said:

"I know it's a hundred finished cruisers, but I can build cruisers now, which is much cheaper than auctions, so there's no need to spend this money."

"I know you can build it, but you can only build ten ships at a time, and there are not enough divisions within the legion."

"I can only build ten ships at a time. It's not that I can only build ten ships, but there is only one chief engineer. If there are several, I can build dozens of ships at a time."

"It's so lacking!"

Li Qing nodded with emotion:

"There are too few high-level professional talents. There are so few chief engineers of cruisers, and even fewer chief engineers of battleships. Don't worry, wait until I find a way to get a group of high-level professional talents. Then the speed of shipbuilding will suddenly increase. It won't take long. A batch of dozens of cruisers and even battleships can be produced."

Hearing this, Ding Youran didn't insist anymore, and nodded:

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

There are many players who think like Ding Youran. When the auctioneer confirms that he can bid, a bunch of people raise their cards at the same time.

Then a group of people quickly raised their cards like a scramble, and the price rose almost every second, so fast that even the professional auctioneer couldn't keep up with the bidding speed for a while, and could only shout the price every few seconds.

In less than half a minute, the price changed from the starting price of 200 billion to 400 billion stars, and it continued to rise, and the speed has not slowed down much.

Normally, the market price of a top-equipped cruiser is 5.2 billion stars, and 100 ships are 520 billion. There must be a certain premium in the auction market, and 300 billion is far from the final transaction price.

Li Qing lay on the soft sofa with his legs crossed and watched the bidding outside. It was rare for him to enjoy this kind of relaxation.

In about two minutes, the price slowly stopped when it reached about 584 billion in the alternating bids of an unknown number of people.

After all, it is a cruiser, not a battleship. If there are 100 battleships here, someone will ask for a 100% premium.

The final transaction price was 592 billion stars.

It has to be said that as the player's strength grows, the specifications of this auction are also slowly increasing. In the last session, it seemed that the finale auctions did not fetch such a high price.

"When the scale of shipbuilding increases in the future, we can also prepare a hundred cruisers for auction in this way."

Ding Youran covered her mouth and smiled lightly:

"Are you jealous?"

"Of course I'm jealous, it's more profitable than retailing."

With the strike of the golden hammer, the dust settled, and soon the second auction began.

Compared with the first lot, the second lot was much worse. There were only 100 destroyers, and the total price was only 75 billion yuan.

Most of the next auction items are related to battleships. They are all bundled and auctioned together, or some rare blueprints, such as the sixth-level technological blueprints obtained by digging graves or opening boxes, or can be used for thousands of times. Thousands of blueprints and the like.

This is intentional by the auction house.

Although there are actually many things that can be auctioned, the most useful things for the players on the outpost base are things related to the fleet. As long as they can directly improve their strength, they will not worry about selling them.

One lot was bought by the players in the auction below, and more than 30 lots were successfully sold in one go. Except for the first 100 cruisers that had bids for the top 20 boxes, there were no bids behind them.

For them, most of these ordinary auctions are not in their eyes, and their goal is to come for the finale.

"Next is the thirty-fifth lot."

The auctioneer is still as enthusiastic as the beginning to introduce:

"The two slaves of the United Civilization of the Shata Tribe, who possess knowledge and talents, have not yet determined their occupations. They can freely choose occupational training when they buy them back. The starting price is 2 billion star yuan, and each increase is no less than 100 million star yuan."

At the same time, a beam of light fell, and inside it was a creature with a snake head, a human body, and a snake tail. It was a snake-man clan of the eight tribes of the Shata tribe.
