Chapter 14 Auction House

The largest auction house in Pangu City is "Tianxia Auction House", but now, like other small and medium-sized auction houses, there are not many auction items. The most are only some good bronze equipment, and there are very few silver equipment. Therefore, from the beginning of the game to the present, almost no one has visited the auction house.

Because the items auctioned at the "Tianxia Auction House" require a 10% fee, just like the thief dagger I sold before, if I pay 10% of the auction fee, it will definitely be a loss than selling it yourself. However, in the auction house, an item can often be compared with the competition between the people, so everyone takes some good equipment to the auction house for auction. Often, the increased income will be far more than the 10% auction fee because of the crowd's cheering.

The boss of "Tianxia Auction House" is one of the few NPCs played by real people. Therefore, for my arrival, this boss who claims to be "Zhang San" and looks extremely fat like an "iron-backed bear" warmly welcomed me. The most obvious manifestation is that he gave me a strong bear hug. He actually lost 3 points of life. He is such a terrible creature.

After hearing my purpose, Zhang San laughed happily and even said that I was his lucky star. Before I could ask, "Fat Pig" had already explained the reason: "We are all employees of the company, and like other employees, we must pay attention to performance. The more money the auction house makes, the more bonus I will have. If I get the first place, there will be additional rewards. So, Brother Moshui, you are my lucky star, and my life will depend on you in the future."

After saying that, I held my hand with the fat pig's trotters disgustingly, showing a "lovely" look that made me almost vomit.

Fortunately, I was strong enough to pull out my hand without hesitation, wiped it on my body, and said disgustingly: "You won't be allowed to approach me within one meter, otherwise I will never come to the auction house."

"Okay, just do whatever you say." The fat pig rubbed his hands and asked, "Then your Dragon and Tiger Pill--"

"Bang, I'll give it to you." I threw the "Dragon Tiger Pill" to Zhang San and said, "The minimum price is 2,000 gold coins, and each bid is no less than 100 gold coins. What do you think?"

Zhang San thought carefully and said, "It's quite appropriate. 2,000 gold coins stipulate the range of buyers and eliminated many buyers; so it's best to wait a few days before auctioning and do some necessary publicity, so that it can attract more wealthy people."

I didn’t think so much about being an expert. In the past, there were online game auction houses, but they were fixed once a day and needed to set a base price after delivery. But now this game is more humane and can make good auction items more valuable through various publicity methods.

"Okay, these are your business anyway. But I will bring you such great benefits and I won't give you any discounts?" I kept joking when I saw the fat face of "Fat Pig".

"How could it be--no?"

Zhang San took out a golden card similar to a credit card from the air like a magic trick, shook it in front of me, and said, "Because you have made great contributions to the bank, I will list you as a golden member of the bank. With this card, you can enjoy a 50% discount, which means you only need to pay 5% of the auction fee in the future. This can save you a lot of money!"

I grabbed the gold membership card and looked at it. It said: The gold membership card of Pangucheng Branch of Tianxia Auction House, everyone: ink; cannot be traded, cannot be dropped, and does not occupy space. Enjoy the discount: You can enjoy a 50% discount at Pangucheng Branch of Tianxia Auction House; other branches can enjoy an 80% discount.

Wow! Baby!

"Thank you, boss. I will take care of you if you have good things in the future." I said happily with the golden membership card.

"Oh, wait. I said Brother Mo Shui, you have nothing else to auction? For example, weapons and equipment, or something." Zhang San asked in his eyes "sincerely".

"Equipment?" I thought for a while and said, "There is no good equipment. I will send it to you when I get it."

I stepped out and was stopped by the fat pig again: "Brother Moshui, we discerning people don't tell lies. We NPCs are 'fire-eyed and savvy'. Do you have so many treasures on you and you still don't have good equipment?"

Baby? I looked at the fat pig in confusion.

Seeing that I didn't understand, the fat pig finally reminded: "For example, there is an equipment called 'Golden Bow Hunting'--"

"This is absolutely impossible!" I interrupted the fat pig and said seriously: "This is my baby, I will never sell it. Don't say this again in the future!"

Seeing that I was serious, the fat pig laughed dryly and said, "Of course I won't let you sell such a good baby, brother. But you have other babies, such as the Tiger King Battle Sword, and the tiger skin suit on you, are also good."

"The Tiger King's Battle Sword is not good either. It is my only melee equipment; the tiger skin suit is OK, and I have another set of it in the Qiankun ring." I frowned and said. These NPCs are really amazing. He knows what I have.

"The tiger skin suit is OK, too." The fat pig smiled with satisfaction and said, "At least it is the best among bronze equipment."

After negotiations, my two sets of "tiger leather suits" were left at the auction house. I could only return to the inn wearing the novice equipment distributed by the system, attracting the curious eyes of countless players along the way.

In the next few days, I threw all the tiger skin, snow lion skin, bear skin and other things I got into at the tailor shop to make leather suits to deal with the fat pig's urge to refine medicines. I was crazy about refining medicines, and the success rate of those low-quality "Golden Sore Medicine" was very high, about 97%. The success rate of the medium-quality "Tiger Bone Pill" was also quite good, 70% or 80%. The success rate of the top-quality "Dragon and Tiger Pill" was very low, only about 40%.

However, despite this, the result is still gratifying. The "Golden Sow Medicine" and "Tiger Bone Pill" were all sold to Kongkong'er, which greatly increased the strength of Kongkong'er's "Iron Blood Sect". When I was purchasing medicinal materials on the street, I heard other players talking about how "Iron Blood Sect" and whom I had a conflict with today and PK victory; tomorrow, I killed the boss-level monster, mutated the "Spotted Tiger", and got a handful of gold equipment and something.

As for the "Dragon and Tiger Pill", I have also refined fifteen pills in the past few days, 5 of which were sold to Kongkonger, with a unit price of 2,800 gold coins; the remaining four (along with the remaining four) were handed over to Zhang San, the owner of the auction house, to be auctioned.

Zhang San's publicity campaign has been going on for 7 days. He spent more than 10,000 gold coins on system broadcast alone (each system broadcast can last for 2 minutes and costs 500 gold coins). Almost all players who have financial resources and are interested in "Dragon and Tiger Pill" have arrived. Players from 11 other cities have squeezed "Pangu City" full of "Pangu City", making "Pangu City", which is already a little crowded on weekdays even narrower. For this reason, the lord of Pangu City has never appeared, expanded the "Pangu City", making the current "Pangu City" twice as big as usual.

I heard from Zhang San that the lord of "Pangu City" is also an NPC played by a real person. This time, many non-city players entered "Pangu City", which caused the income of "Pangu City" to increase dramatically (usually there is almost no income, only the pitiful tax paid by the system store. This time there is a large amount of taxes for entering the city, and the residents of this city do not charge them). Not only is it rich, but it also has the qualification to upgrade. I am very grateful to me, and I awarded a medal to me. While wearing the medal, I have a title: Guardian of Pangu City. This medal allows me to offer a 10% discount in the Pangu City system store. With the original discount from the auction house, now only needs to pay 4.5% of the auction items.

Of course, I will be more rewarded for such rewards. Unfortunately, I don’t have the reputation, otherwise I can buy a store if I add one thousand or two thousand. This auction starts from January 28 and lasts for a total of 5 days. According to Zhang San, a fat pig, a "Dragon and Tiger Pill" is used as the finale every day, and try to collect gold coins from players as much as possible, so as to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of players.

According to him, although there is no open gang system (mainly because the player's reputation value is too low, small gangs require 50,000 reputation value and can recruit 100 members), there are 27 gangs of all sizes in secret, "Pangucheng" alone, the largest of which is "Kongkong'er" their "Iron Blood Sect" and a family called "Xiongba", which have more than 10,000 members. Each name of this "Xiongba" family has the word "Xiongba" in front of them. Their "head of the family" is called "Xiongba Jianghu". It is said that they are the only son of a rich man, very arrogant and domineering.

This "Xiongba" family is all about troublemakers. I have also heard of some of their things. The most famous of them is that several gangsters from the "Xiongba" family and several senior players of the "Iron Blood Sect" staged a good show of hero saving beauty. I don't know the specific situation of the matter, but the final result is very clear. The "Xiongba" family and the "Iron Blood Sect" have become mortal enemies. Now the two forces are in the east and west areas of "Pangu City", respectively, confronting each other through Pangu's inner city.

These large gangs can gather thousands of gold coins with just a little concentration of coins. In addition, some gang leaders from other cities are coming one after another, which makes many wealthy people in "Pangu City".

Of course there are also things that are happy (for Zhang San). The auction of "Pangu City" has now spread throughout the Eastern Continent. Players from all over the world have flocked in to bring a large amount of good equipment. The number of top-quality bronze equipment is now the majority, and 9 silver equipment has been collected, and 1 gold equipment.

The arrival of these good equipment will undoubtedly make the auction more popular, so the commission earned by the auction house is naturally so good that Zhang San’s bonus will come in a hurry. So now every time I look at Zhang San, I will keep a considerable distance from him, because there is only one reason- he has too much saliva!

Note 1: Players in this city do not need to pay the entry tax when entering and leaving the city; players who belong to other cities need to pay the title tax and 15 silver coins when entering the city. The teleportation array between the city is set not far outside the city gate, so players need to pay the entry tax after entering the city through the teleportation array.

Note 2: Newbie equipment, including coarse cloth hats, coarse cloth clothes, coarse cloth pants and straw sandals, is placed in the Qiankun ring to occupy a unit. It is an item that cannot be discarded or traded. It is considered a commemoration in the entire game.

Note 3: There are twelve major cities in the Eastern Continent, namely Tianxia City, Pangu City, Fuxi City, Nuwa City, Yanhuang City, Shennong City, Xuanyuan City, Taiyi City, Qinglong City, Baihu City, Zhuque City and Xuanwu City. Among them, Tianxia City is the capital of the Eastern Continent, which is in charge of Tianxia City. It is actually the management office of Tianxia Game Company in the game, located in the center of the Eastern Continent, with developed water and land transportation.

Qinglong City, White Tiger City, Zhuque City and Xuanwu City are located in the four corners of the Eastern Continent. Named after the ancient guardian holy beasts, they are divided into four corners to protect the Eastern Continent. Several other cities are scattered in various parts of the Eastern Continent.
