Douluo's self-disciplined soul beast
Chapter 548: We count gold coins by tons
The location of the auction is on the fourth floor of the Blacksmiths Association. Sometimes the auction is to sell rare metals at a high price, and sometimes it is to solve the problem of the union's shortage of funds.
Since Lou Gao has not yet accepted Xin Xingluo's invitation, the Blacksmiths Association does not have any additional funding. It is not just Lou Gao who will research new things. Although it is called the Blacksmiths Association, many inventions and creations are here.
In essence, it can be regarded as a scientific research institution, but it is all related to iron, and the experiments need funds. The addition of several experiments is a very expensive behavior.
For example, Lou Gao no longer knows how much metal was wasted in order to test a suitable pen ball material.
And what to do if there is no money, then sell the previous works, tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, so that there will be money.
Those who buy metal from outside are generally big dogs, and it is definitely not a loss to take them to the auction.
Out of the gate of the residence is the blacksmith association general meeting, where the auction is held. When I come here again, there are fewer people in the lobby on the first floor than that day.
Because of the time, ordinary people would not come here at this time, and ordinary blacksmiths have also gone home.
Moreover, ordinary people do not have the financial resources to participate in the auction, so the number of people here has naturally decreased a lot.
The group of people did not go directly to the place where the auction was held, but went to the third floor first.The third floor was originally used to rate blacksmiths.
Due to the rating problem, there are also many iron furnaces here, the temperature is relatively high, and blacksmiths sometimes get dirty clothes, so there are special bathrooms and changing rooms on this floor.
Silong led the group into a room and gave each of them a large black cloak.
The black cloth is impenetrable and extremely wide, covering even the head and face, so only the approximate height can be seen.There are several holes in the hood to reveal the eyes and nose.
Obviously it was to prevent identity leakage, but this dress also made it easier for the robbers.
Although the disguise itself is intended to protect the safety of buyers and sellers, the auction itself is a very private matter, and many buyers and sellers do not want their identities to be revealed.
But if someone really wants to be targeted, this black cloth can't save people, there are too many ways to leave marks, guarding against gentlemen is not guarding against villains, this is probably the case, on the premise that no one is distracted, or Useful.
After the whole group changed into masks, Silong also led them up to the fourth floor.
After reaching the fourth floor, there were more people here. Those who came back to the Blacksmiths Association at this time were all for the auction, and no one made a sound. The silence here seemed to be some kind of weird summoning place.
On the empty auction stage with lights on, there were a group of silent men in black, with strange eyes in the small hole in the cloak.
The reason for not speaking is to prevent being heard who he is. If he speaks now, acquaintances can hear what is going on. It will become noisy here after the auction starts.
"Wait a minute." Just as they were about to enter the auction house, a black ball suddenly appeared beside them.
The person who came was Lou Gao. Although he was also wearing a cloak, his voice and body shape had already revealed his identity, which proved that the cloak was useless.
"You asked Silong to bring me a message, saying that you have the design drawings of that thing?"
After the people from Wuhundian came and sent the target of the suspected speed competition, Tang San still asked Silong to convey this sentence, it seemed that Lou Gao was still interested, although this kind of behavior was similar to cheating, but for the huge Benefits are not unacceptable.
"Exactly. The junior said that I made that thing, so of course there are drawings."
"How do you prove that you really have?"
"With the craftsmanship of the seniors, can fake blueprints fool you?
"That's true, so what conditions do you have?" He didn't believe that others would help him for no reason, even Wuhundian would only intervene out of self-interest.
"You should be very clear, if I win, this place will become my fiefdom, and it will be even more impossible for me to join your sect."
Lou Gao blocked the other party's words first, in case the other party said too outrageous conditions.
"If the drawings are real, I need to ask the seniors to help cast a few things at the right time and help us pass on some information."
"can."
Lou Gao felt that this condition was not too much, so he agreed to the other party's request.
"Okay, the auction is about to start, let's talk about the details after the end."
After a general discussion, the auction was about to begin. Since Lou Gao knew that Tang San and the others were here to buy precious metals, he didn't continue the discussion, but hid in a stool beside him.
The seats here are much more spacious than the ones in the outside world, maybe they were made to take care of Lou Gao's figure, otherwise he would be easily stuck in it.
......
"Welcome everyone to come to my place to participate in this auction, I am Sidi.
Today's auction is about to start.
Please take your seats.Although it was all old acquaintances who came, I will say it again.When bidding, please hold up the sign next to where you are seated to show your bid.
At the same time, he reported his own quotation.Although I also know that this matter is not realistic, but I hope that all the guests here can be satisfied. "
It can be seen from this that the masked black cloth is meaningless at all, and the people on the stage can recognize most of the visitors through this black cloth.
Sidi is the youngest of Lou Gao's four apprentices, the only blacksmith who has not yet reached the master level.
A staff member of the Blacksmiths Association pushed a table covered with red cloth strips, which looked very heavy.All four of them were struggling.
"Next, we will conduct today's first auction.
It contains more than 90% iron and weighs 231 kg.
I won't beat around the bush anymore, this is a whole piece of black iron.I haven't seen such a large piece of black iron for many years.
I believe all distinguished guests are well aware that even if it is an ordinary piece of dark iron, it can play a major role if mixed with ordinary metal.
Such a huge piece of black iron is so expensive that ordinary people cannot afford it.That's why it will be listed as the first lot in this auction.The starting price is [-] gold soul coins, and each increase is [-].Next, you can start bidding. "
As Sidi said, he lifted the red cover, revealing the black metal inside.
230 kilograms of black iron, even Tang San couldn't help being shocked, as Sidi said, such a large piece of black iron is really too rare.Can greatly enhance the toughness of other metals.This is a rare treasure.
But soon they will face a more serious problem, that is, the problem of funds.
In just three or two bids, the price soared to 4 gold soul coins.
"Young master, we don't have enough money. Emperor Xue Ye borrowed us 30 gold soul coins. This piece of black iron is not bad, but the price...is a bit expensive."
The Tang Sect's normal source of income should be from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After a major disaster, the remaining huge amount of money from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was thrown to Tang San, so he was not short of money at that time.
But it’s different now, without the big benefactor behind them, without the Po and Min clans who made the most money, although the Li and Yu clans are willing to pay for their wealth, but their family wealth adds up, excluding the necessities of life and construction needs .
In the next year, he tightened his belt to live, and only managed to scrape together 5 gold soul coins, which still included the part that Bai He borrowed.
It's a huge sum of money outside, but when it's thrown into the auction, it doesn't even make a sound.
The first item is generally not a particularly good item, the purpose is only to arouse everyone's interest, but the value of this opening lottery almost exceeds their total funds.
Before they came here, they took out a loan with Xue Ye, probably in exchange for this aid fund in exchange for future development being restricted by the empire and helping the empire to serve.
There are not many forces who can take out hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins at once. Don't look at the price below. There are entrustments, and there are more than a dozen people who pooled money to buy materials. You have one piece, and I have one piece. Everyone shares this big guy Enough.
Under the constraints of money, he had to consider whether it was a good deal. These people were all superior in the bidding for this piece of black iron, so he chose to stop, otherwise he would not be able to pay for the finale.
At this moment, Tai Tan looked at Lou Gao beside him, Tang San didn't know, but he knew that everything related to the blacksmith association was at Lou Gao's discretion, naturally including the auction.
Don't think it's expensive here, but if Lou Gao speaks out, it's possible to give it away for nothing.
"Brother, look, is there any special channel for years of brotherhood?"
"Why, do you want me to give you away for nothing?"
"That relationship is great, but you don't know how expensive this sect is..."
"Stop, this is the Blacksmiths Association, not the Charity Hall. When you go out of the Charity Hall and turn right, you can see the Orphanage of the Heavenly Demon. There is no money for the things there. If you give this thing away, the threshold of my house will be confiscated the next day." Stomp down."
"It's not that we don't have money. There are 30 gold soul coins here. You can help the staff to find out what the appropriate price is. The items in this auction have passed through your hands, so you know best how much they are worth. "
"That's okay..."
The prices of things at the auction fluctuate, it all depends on what the master of ceremonies says, there is nothing you can do if you are really blind.
With Lou Gao's friendly assistance, he didn't suffer much. After the 30 gold soul coins were deducted from those who purchased metals before, what was crossed out this time left only a fraction of a few hundred gold soul coins.
Originally, Tai Tan also suggested that Tang San save some money to see what the finale was, but according to Lou Gao, they didn't need it.
It wasn't until the finale appeared that they realized that this was Lou Gao's polite statement, because it wasn't suitable if they couldn't use it, and to be precise, they couldn't afford it.
Two sets of soft armor, the starting price alone reached 20 soft armor.
.....
"The next auction is our finale product today, which was made by my teacher, Lou Gao, the master craftsman, for several years!"
In Gengxin City, Lou Gao is the biggest advertisement, Lou Gao is made, and this alone is enough to sell at a high price.
Therefore, people who sell fakes will claim that this thing is related to Lou Gao, but at the auction, this will not be fake, it must be something built by Lou Gao himself.
Then Sidi continued: "My teacher named it the Eight Treasures Ruyi Soft Armor. Its defense can withstand the sixth soul skill of an attack-type soul master. The most amazing thing is that although it is made of metal, it is It is extremely flexible, even if a beast soul master's body doubles after using the martial soul, it can also be extended accordingly to achieve the same defensive effect.
This set of eight-treasure wishful soft armor is made of eight kinds of metals mixed together and formed by special stretching.Until now, the one who can purify this rare metal is my teacher.This set of armor is simply his second life!
One of the extremely malleable metals is the Ice God Crystal. This soft armor can be said to be not just a different armor, it has already reached the level of a soul guide.
However, Lou Gao didn't think he could forge soul tools, so he still regarded them as rare armors.
The Ice God Crystal is one of the main materials in this suit of armor. At the beginning, some of the Ice God Crystal flowed out of the ice cave in the Far North, and it was those Ice God Crystal that prompted the birth of these two sets of soft armor. .
Although the Bingjishenjing cannot be regarded as metal in the strict sense, in Lou Gao's eyes, things with metal properties should undoubtedly be regarded as metals.
Eight materials with different attributes were combined by him like weaving rope, and finally the soft armor was composed like a knitted sweater. The special structure gave it a huge defensive power.
The starting price of 20 made many people daunted. After Sidi's voice fell, there was no one asking for a price.
"Unexpected, brother, you really made this thing out."
When he was still young, Tai Tan also stayed in Gengxin City for a long time. This set of soft armor was still a concept he proposed. Because of the martial spirit, the powerful orangutan will greatly expand the muscles, and ordinary clothes will be burst. Not to mention armor.
That's why the Force Clan usually only wears vests.
But later he gave up, because the difficulty was too high and he couldn't do it at all. Unexpectedly, after many years, Lou Gao did it.
He can do it with just one kind of metal, but some of the eight kinds of metals are acquired after processing. Ask yourself, he can't do it.
"20 is so expensive..." Ma Hongjun was calculating how long it would take him to save 20 if he didn't eat or drink.
"But it's really worth the price." No one bid, and Lou Gao was a little disappointed, but he had no plans to lower the price at all.
This is its painstaking effort, but the future of treasure armor is not to eat ashes in the cabinet, follow the owner to the battlefield, and break it, which is the best destination for all armor.
It's just that this is his psychological price, if it is lower, he will be sorry for his hard work.
But after a moment of silence, someone still made a bid. Most of the people present were masked, doing face-saving projects, but there were two groups of people different, one was from the Wuhun Temple, and the other was from the Sky Demon.
These two groups are not worried about their identities being exposed, because even if they are exposed, no one will dare to do anything.
The first bid was Miles from the Spirit Hall, followed by Hu Liena.
For a group of people who count money by weight, hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins are really nothing.
Since Lou Gao has not yet accepted Xin Xingluo's invitation, the Blacksmiths Association does not have any additional funding. It is not just Lou Gao who will research new things. Although it is called the Blacksmiths Association, many inventions and creations are here.
In essence, it can be regarded as a scientific research institution, but it is all related to iron, and the experiments need funds. The addition of several experiments is a very expensive behavior.

Silong led the group into a room and gave each of them a large black cloak.
The black cloth is impenetrable and extremely wide, covering even the head and face, so only the approximate height can be seen.There are several holes in the hood to reveal the eyes and nose.
Obviously it was to prevent identity leakage, but this dress also made it easier for the robbers.
