Find lost Pokémon

Chapter 37 Auction

As night falls, a bright moon hangs high in the starry sky, wisps of thin clouds float in the air, and starlight twinkles endlessly. The sultry night is reflected on the sea, and it is difficult to tell whether the clouds are above or the sea is below.

The sea is dark and lonely at night, with only the passenger ship sailing on the sea like a flickering light adding a touch of warmth to the dim East China Sea.

The lights on the passenger ship were brightly lit, and the bars, karaoke bars, restaurants, casinos, film and television studios and other places on the ship began to come alive. Tired of the light wind and calm clouds during the day, the exciting life at night became particularly attractive.

However, most of the people hanging around here are ordinary tourists. Tonight, the real people with status or wealth gathered on the fifth floor of the passenger ship and were invited to participate in this mysterious auction.

Su Ming's seat was unexpectedly located in the first row. It should be regarded as a VIP seat. There was a small round table next to it. The table was filled with various fruit plates, snacks and drinks. Su Ming poured half a glass of red wine. The name was A string of English words that he couldn't understand anyway, so he put it to his lips and took a small sip. It was sour and astringent, and he couldn't taste any difference from other red wines.

Xiao Fei, on the other hand, put his left hand into the candied date plate and grabbed the sand scale fruit with his right hand. Before he could swallow the snack in his mouth, he eagerly stuffed it into his mouth.Su Ming took out a sweet fruit from the fruit plate and quietly stuffed it into the elf belt around his waist. The red and white ball containing the Salted Fish King suddenly emitted a red light, and after the flash, the sweet fruit in his hand disappeared.

Su Ming turned his head and saw Gu Bei sitting in the third row. As expected, no one in the five seats around him dared to sit there. The latter grinned at him, and the corner of his mouth touched the scar on his face, which made him smile. It looked more like a devil opening its fangs, causing the crowd who saw this scene to feel chills on their backs and sweat breaking out on their foreheads.

Time flew by. The moment the hand pointed to 20 o'clock, the lights in the room went out. At the same time, the neon lights on the auction table not far from Su Ming were shining. A middle-aged man wearing a black uniform and white gloves appeared at some unknown time. When he got on the stage, he first bowed to everyone, and then began to introduce the purpose, history, and content of this auction. However, it was obvious that Su Ming had no interest in this. When he was studying in his previous life, he had had enough of the opening of the event. A certain leader came to the stage to speak, and the speech lasted only an hour. After finally traveling through time, he didn't want to go through the same torture as Tang Monk chanting sutras, so he simply lowered his eyes slightly, leaned on the chair, let his head empty, and began to wander around the world.

I don’t know if it was because all the people present were investors and buyers, but the auctioneer’s speech ended in less than 10 minutes, and then he entered the main theme of the auction and began to auction items.

"The first thing that comes up first is the first item in our auction, a high-quality moon stone, an evolution stone that can allow Nidona, Nidorino and other elves to evolve into Nidoking and Nidoqueen... ....The starting price is [-], and each increase will not be less than [-]." After the auctioneer introduced the moonstone in the red box, he began to enter the auction.

"Seventy-one thousand"

"Seventy-three thousand"

........

In the end, the moon stone was bought by a wealthy businessman for 12 yuan.

Only then did Su Ming gain a deeper understanding of the auction. The market price of this moonstone outside was at most around [-]. Unexpectedly, the price was suddenly two levels higher once he entered the auction. No wonder there were so many people. If you want to put things into the auction, it is simply a very profitable business.

Not all of the people present have professions such as Pokémon trainers. On the contrary, there are only a few of the latter. However, businessmen pursue profits, and they will never suffer a loss if they buy them back, especially some treasures that are rare or not available on the outside market, no matter if they change hands. Whether it is given away or given away, it is an exchange of benefits. Even if it is kept as a collection at home, it can improve the quality.

"...The second auction item is a piece of unmelting ice from the North Pole. According to tests, it is at least 300 years old. Whether it is carried by ice-type Pokémon or collected, it is a treasure that can maintain its value... ..The starting price is 22, and each bid increase cannot be less than [-]. The bidding begins."

"25"

"28"

"I pay 30"

........

Compared to the previous Moon Stone, which is only slightly rare, this 300-year-old non-melting ice is a rare elf prop. The number of bidders has obviously increased several times, and the price is not thousands like last time. A few thousand plus, the bidding started with an increase of 30 yuan from the base price, and the subsequent prices also increased rapidly. In just ten seconds, the price had exceeded [-] yuan, and the bidding was still rising.

"47, 47, is there any higher value? If not for this piece of unmelted ice, it would belong to this gentleman."

"48."

But it was Su Ming who spoke. The man who had just bid 47 looked at him deeply, hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and bid: "50."

Seeing this, Su Ming knew that this was already the highest price in the other person's heart, so he lay back easily and stopped making any sound.

"50 once and 50 twice. Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully bidding." As the auctioneer knocked the hammer, the man visibly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Ming with a hint of gratitude.

Su Ming also smiled gratefully at the other party.

50.... Hehe, this money comes so easily.

That's right, Su Ming took out this 300-year-old non-melting ice. He had a hard time finding it in his space backpack. He wanted both unused and slightly rare ones. The ones that were full of them were basically high-end ones. The space backpack of elf props is a bit unfriendly.Originally, the auction would put the non-melting ice in the bottom few seats as the finale, but Su Ming put it in the second place in a bad taste. Now it seems that the effect is good. In his mind, the non-melting ice is worth 40. It was sold for 50 yuan, which is more than 5.00 yuan after deducting the 47% commission from the auction.

"The third item to be auctioned is..."

.....

The next items that appeared on the stage were all low- and intermediate-level elf props. Su Ming even saw a crown of King Magikarp being auctioned. Of course, it failed in the auction without any surprise. This also shows that these auction items are a mixed bag. , after all, it was just established by Polaris itself. It can only be regarded as a small auction house, and you can't see more advanced things.

"The next item is the last item, and it is also the final treasure of this auction..." The auctioneer hesitated, clapped his hands, and a young and beautiful waiter brought a sealed box.He faced everyone and pondered for a few seconds. When everyone's eyes were on this, he untied the chains and exposed the things hidden in them to the air.

"The last auction item is an unknown elf egg"

"Da da"

The man who was immersed in the pile of snacks suddenly stopped his mouth of refusal and raised his head in a daze, with pieces of snacks still stuck to his soft face.

Feeling... getting colder

Ok

Su Ming's eyes suddenly condensed, and an ice-blue elf egg was printed in his eyes. Its surface exuded a bright blue light. He could even feel that the temperature in the auction hall continued to drop with the appearance of the elf egg. However, In less than a minute, everyone started sneezing.

Suddenly, he felt his hair tightening. He turned around and found that it was Xiaofei who was pulling his hair. She leaned close to his ear and whispered quietly: "Master... Well, that egg is so cold."

In the darkness, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the elf eggs in the stands looked completely different.

Who is Xiaofei? She is the number one mascot in the gym, a conductive flying squirrel with extraordinary king-level strength. Even she feels cold when she sees this elf egg, so the identity of the latter is a bit subtle... ..
