Host Paradise

Chapter 108 Liquidation ([-])

There was no empty seat in the auction hall.

When Wang Tianxiao came, the buyer's channel was closed.

So now he is sitting in the seller's box on the second floor to watch. This box is quite exquisite, with European-style pillars, ancient-style door curtains, Dunhuang-style murals, and a comfortable leather sofa.

As for why he was able to be a seller so comfortably, it was naturally because he gave the bucket of gold to the person in charge of the auction backstage to check.

Originally, the person in charge here wanted to reject this ordinary precious metal auction. After all, the Caoshupao Islands are connected to three districts, and the auctions are all kinds of precious and unique specialties.

But when he saw the fineness of the gold, the person in charge changed his mind.

"This is definitely the purest gold I've ever seen, customer, believe me, you can sell it here for a good price!"

After all, after collecting the handling fee, Wang Tianxiao was sent to the box.

"The auction is starting now, the first auctioned item is."

While speaking, the fat and fancy host opened the curtain.

Inside is a stone plate carved with a human face.

"This is a special stone from the secret realm of heroes. It is said that it can allow people to enter the legendary Garden of the Old Gods. It has been verified to be true, but the site of the Garden of the Old Gods keeps changing, so it can only be regarded as a second-rate item."

After the explanation, the host shouted: "The starting price is [-]!"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, but no one made a bid yet.

Wang Tianxiao looked at their reactions and didn't take it seriously.

What will be sold in this auction has little to do with him. Unless there is a particularly good one, he will most likely wait until his gold is sold.

"11 million!"

"12 million!"

"15 million!"

"17 million!"

"20 million!"

In the end, the first item was taken down.

To be honest, Wang Tianxiao couldn't understand what the host just said. What is the Old God's Garden?What is the use?What if we go in?
But considering that there are only so few people buying things related to it, it is estimated that there is nothing worth exploring inside.

Later, more than a dozen items were auctioned one after another, and almost all of them were taken.

But Wang Tianxiao was not interested until
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's finally time for the main event, this is the only item in this auction.
"Living thing!"

The moment he said these two words, the host lifted the curtain covering the huge cuboid.

In the back, is a glass cylinder.

There is more than half a tank of water in it, but that's not the point, the point is that there is a mermaid inside!
She has natural facial features, brown hair, and slightly pouty lips. The proportion of her upper body's chest to waist is even more devilish, while her lower body is replaced by a huge fish tail that looks tough and powerful.

"Wow! Is it true or not?"

"Mermaids, I've only seen them in fairy tales."

"It's impossible to have this thing in the secret realm, right? They're all on the island after all."

"It looks real. Where did they do it?"

The discussions among the seats suddenly increased several times, and the entire auction site felt a little shaken.

In the private room on the second floor, Wang Tianxiao also frowned.

Others saw new species, but he saw new business opportunities.

However, he is not going to buy it.

He wanted to get the mermaid's heart quickly through another method, so as to seek greater benefits.

The starting bid for the mermaid is 400 million.

When the price was announced, the audience was silent.

But just when everyone thought that no one would buy it, someone in the seat fired the opening shot and shouted:
"Four million and five thousand!"

Immediately afterwards, other people rushed to start bidding.

"410 million!"

"410 million fifty thousand!"

"450 million!"

"500 million!"

"."

The price increase later became outrageous.

In the end, the mermaid was won by a middle-aged greasy old man in a suit and leather shoes but with a pot belly for 1000 million.

"1000 million!" Wang Tianxiao couldn't believe this number, he felt a little dreamy.

At the same time, a little joy also ignited in my heart.

He silently stared at the old man, remembering his face.

Although the main event of the auction is over, it is not over yet.

Two staff members came up carrying a bucket covered with a cloth.

Seeing the silver color of the iron sheet of the bucket, Wang Tianxiao knew that it was his own gold that was on it.

He watched the next scene with great anticipation. He really wanted to know how much this pure gold could be sold for.
However, the response was surprisingly lackluster.

When everyone saw that it was an ordinary bucket of gold, they immediately lost interest.

In the end, even just one person quotes.

He reported 20.

Wang Tianxiao reckoned, at this price, he didn't even earn back the money in it!
Seeing that the host was about to announce the countdown to the auction, Wang Tianxiao left the box directly and rushed down the stairs.

Before the bewildered host could understand, he snatched the bucket of gold from the table.

The former almost thought he was a robber.

However, when Wang Tianxiao said the next words, he understood that it was not a robbery, but a sale——

"Everyone, take a good look at this gold." Wang Tianxiao took a piece of gold out of the bucket and placed it on the table covered with a red curtain.

This gold has no impurities at all and is so clear and even translucent that it makes people feel as if they are looking at their childhood self.

Wang Tianxiao poured a few other grains of gold, and still did the same.

Finally, the attitude of the buyers in the audience changed.

"Pure gold? It's really good, but I'm not short of money!" said a buyer.

Immediately, several buyers followed him.

"Tmd, will this continue to make me rich?" Wang Tianxiao looked at the person who said this and thought to himself.

At the same time, he also realized a problem, that is, his kind of gold was indeed in an embarrassing situation-the poor couldn't afford it, and the rich didn't need it.

Seeing this, Wang Tianxiao thought for a while, and he didn't force it anymore, and said, "Do you really don't need it? If so, I'll take it back."

"Wait! Sir, if you take away the items that have been decided to be auctioned without authorization, you need to pay liquidated damages." The host said.

"Just pay it, I don't care, I'll give the gold to my buddy Hector, I think he will like it."

A seemingly unintentional sentence, but it caused some changes in the mentality of the audience.

"Do you know Hector of the Five Kings?" someone asked.

This is good, the wording has become respectful.

"Of course, is there a problem?" Wang Tianxiao asked.

"What is your relationship with him?" Someone asked again.

"Friend, partner."

Wang Tianxiao said nonsense casually.

"Then if I buy this gold, can I count you as a friend?"

Speaking of this, the meaning is obvious.

These people want to make friends with him by buying gold, so as to build a relationship with Hector, the owner of the most prosperous city, Xiatian City.

And what Wang Tianxiao wanted was this effect. He did have a relationship with Hector, but it was just because of a fight.

As for whether these people would come to him because they found out that they had been tricked, that was none of Wang Tianxiao's business.

I am not afraid of depreciation, but also afraid of revenge.

Let’s talk about it after we get the money!
In the end, all the gold was auctioned off.

Wang Tianxiao got more than 400 million.

It took him less than two hours to get the 400 million.

However, he still felt that it was a bit long.

Although 400 million is a lot, it is still a drop in the bucket for his goal of hundreds of millions, and if he hadn't lied, it would be really difficult to sell this time.
