The Immortal God of War

Chapter 360 The auction begins

After a few songs and dances, as time drew closer to the New Year, everyone on the Black Pearl focused their attention on the auction table that would serve as the stage.

After checking the time through the system, Liu Chi knew that the performance before him would be the last dance.

Six gorgeously dressed dancers twisted their graceful bodies to the beat of the music, but the music suddenly stopped when the performance was at its most exciting.

The dancers were like puppets. The moment the music stopped, they all froze on the stage, maintaining their current movements.

Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, the curtain slowly moved from both sides to the center of the stage. As the curtain closed, the entire hall suddenly fell into darkness.

Some people outside began to riot, and suddenly the whole hall was lit up again, and the stage turned back into an auction stand.

A standing desk, a gavel, and a middle-aged man with a mysterious smile.

The middle-aged man was a little over two meters tall, with muscular body supporting the dress. He looked nine out of ten handsome, with the remaining one point being a sense of incongruity caused by oversaturated muscles.

“It’s an honor to witness the auction of Black Pearl in person!”

The man's voice echoed throughout the venue through magic transmission. Outside, where Liu Chi couldn't see, there was a huge magic projection that displayed the situation on the entire auction table.

"Let me explain myself first, Benjenni, former Qishita management."

After hearing the man's introduction, Liu Chi felt a little strange.

Aren’t the auctions recorded here conducted by insiders? Why would an outsider be allowed to conduct the auction this time?

While Liuchi and others were still confused, Bengeni continued with a smile,

"I know you must be wondering, I am now a senior executive of Alice, I am honored to have Alice's favor."

Bengeni still kept smiling, and after giving the audience some time to react, he continued,

"Now that the New Year has arrived, let us begin this auction feast in the joy of the New Year. I declare the 46th Black Pearl Auction officially open!!!"

As the man finished his announcement, everyone on the ship focused their attention on the auction table.

"A good start to the new year. The first auction item is a pair of ten thousand year old blood jade bracelets that Alice has treasured for many years!"

As Bengeni spoke, two maids, each holding a display frame of white silk, walked from both sides of the auction table to the middle.

"This pair of ten thousand year old blood jade bracelets, I'm sure there are many people here who know more about it than I do, so I won't explain it in detail. The starting price is one thousand diamond coins, and each bid increase must not be less than one hundred diamond coins!"

As the man finished speaking, the original auction price of one thousand diamond coins was instantly raised to thirty thousand diamond coins.

Catherine, who was sitting next to Liu Chi, pushed Liu Chi with her arm.

"Husband! Shall we take it?"

Liu Chi was also slightly stunned. The purpose of his coming this time should be only the Seven Star Key.

Liu Chi shook his head gently and whispered to Catherine,

"This thing looks good but is useless. It's not a holy weapon."

Liu Chi went through all the information about the bracelets in the book in his mind. To him, it was really of no use.

"You definitely don't know the effect of this thing on magic amplification. The blood-red material is the crystallization of magic elements precipitated in a specific environment, but..."

Liu Chi quickly interrupted Catherine's words.

"I know. It's just a slightly more useful magic stone."

"Humph!"

Catherine snorted in dissatisfaction, then placed her hand on the magic crystal beside her and raised the price from thirty-six thousand to thirty-six thousand one hundred.

Bengeni looked sharply at where Catherine was and smiled slightly. As a handsome middle-aged man, Bengeni's appearance was still very popular.

There are some silver threads in the chestnut hair, the resolute face like a sculpture and the strong body have inadvertently won the hearts of many uncle-conscious people.

"Thirty-six thousand one hundred diamond coins once!"

Just after Benjenny finished reading, the price was increased by another three hundred.

Seeing this, Liu Chi quickly reached out and grabbed Catherine,

Catherine looked at Liu Chi with a smile, as if she was a winner.

"What are you pulling me for?"

"Don't buy it. The things in front are just appetizers. The main event is yet to come."

"Humph!"

Catherine quickly pulled her hand back. Although she looked angry on the surface, she was very happy in her heart.

After several rounds of bidding, the bracelets were finally sold for 40,000 diamond coins, and the buyer was a businessman sitting outside.

After more than an hour, the drowsy Liu Chi suddenly became excited because the next items to be auctioned were the four seven-star keys.

“The next item to be auctioned is quite heavyweight!”

Bengeni smiled, paused for a moment, and then shouted,

"Four Seven-Star Keys!!!"

Soon a maid brought up four golden keys and placed them in a display frame in her hands facing the audience.

Benjani smiled and said,

"Originally Alice was going to sell the entire set of seven keys, but things didn't go as planned. So far, she has only collected four keys. The starting price is 4,000 gold coins! Each bid increase must not be less than 1,000 gold coins."

Such a low price shocked Liu Chi for a moment.

"Four thousand gold coins? Isn't that only forty diamond coins? How can it be so cheap?"

Catherine beside him whispered,

"If you don't collect all the Seven Star Keys, you can only use them as an ornamental item at best. But this price is indeed a bit low."

As Liu Chi spoke, he reached out to the magic crystal next to his seat. After reacting, he said to Yang Xi beside him,

"Xi'er, increase the price directly to one hundred diamond coins."

"it is good!"

Yang Xi did as he was told and gently stroked the magic crystal. The price also reached a high of one hundred diamond coins, and one hundred diamond coins were equivalent to ten thousand gold coins.

Because of Liu Chi's price increase, the value of the four keys was raised in an instant, and soon people who were unaware of the situation began to increase the price continuously. Although the increase was small each time, the price still slowly rose to around 500 diamond coins.

"You're not going to raise the price?"

Catherine nudged Liu Chi with her elbow and prepared to raise the price herself.

"The purpose of waiting for someone is not to buy it, but to wait for it to be bought by someone else!"

Liu Chi whispered,

Under Liu Chi's serious gaze, Catherine remembered Liu Chi's original purpose, and then she gave up participating and silently waited for the key to be bought.

Yanagichi turned on the technological system that only he could see and had a text conversation with Nanako.

"Be prepared and track the buyer's information in real time. I am now afraid that this buyer is a middleman assigned by someone."

"I know. Trust me, okay?"
