Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 807, Sold

"It's actually a king-level giant Swampert. Whose Pokémon is this?"

“Who knows? It’s likely that some unlucky guy will be defeated, and the elf will be auctioned off as a trophy…” Someone curled his lips with a hint of gloating in his tone.

"This guy is so miserable. He finally got promoted to the King level, but in the end he was killed by someone..." Someone sighed heavily, his tone full of regret.

"This Swampert still retains the strength of a king. It looks to be in good condition. It is perfect for breeding..."

"It's still a male, and it can breed a large group. Although the probability of breeding high-quality cubs is a bit low, but with a large number, there will always be one or two cubs with top talents..."

The discussion among the crowd gradually died down. The host held the microphone with a perfect smile on his face and said, "I believe everyone knows the value of this Swampert. I will not waste any more words. As long as you buy it back, you can continuously obtain the cubs of the three great families. They are all high-quality cubs with the potential to be cultivated into kings..."

"Then, the starting price for this Swampert is..." The host smiled and saw that many people in the audience were eager to bid, so he immediately raised his voice and shouted, "The starting price is 100 million, and each bid increase must not be less than 5 million!"

Hua Hua Hua——

In an instant, there was an uproar in the venue. The crowd, which was originally restless, became like deflated balls after hearing the starting price of 100 million.

Especially the people sitting in the hall, even though there was a hot and long-legged beauty host standing on the stage, they had lost interest at the moment and couldn't stand up at all.

However, this item did not fall into a cold atmosphere. The people who arranged for the auction quickly took effect and shouted loudly, instantly heating up the atmosphere: "Add five million!"

"A customer has already made a bid. One hundred and five million." The beautiful host looked in the direction of the bidding and threw a playful glance.

This small action instantly caused a commotion in the venue again. The lights flickered, shining on people's excited faces. They stared at the woman on the stage stupidly. No one cared about the auction item, Swampert. They couldn't afford it anyway, so as not to delay them from seeing the beauty.

Beautiful women, especially those with good looks and sexy clothes like this host, always have a unique charm. Their every move can make the hormones of the men present surge, their emotions become more and more agitated, and they gradually lose their reason.

This is exactly the effect that the auction venue expects. At this moment, the entire venue is filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

The Pokémon of the Three Starter Pokémons are also very attractive, not to mention the Elite-level Pokémons. This is enough to make the remaining trainers excited and their dopamine secreted like crazy.

Therefore, there is no shortage of buyers for this item. In any case, as the first item of the auction, Swampert is bound to be a hot item.

"Add ten million..."

A deep voice suddenly sounded from the loudspeaker, and everyone subconsciously raised their heads, their eyes all looking towards the box above their heads.

It turned out that the sound of bidding was coming from the loudspeaker outside the box, and at the same time, the box number with the bid quickly popped up on the projection screen above the venue.

"The guest in Box 9 has raised his bid by 10 million! Now it's 115 million per time. Are there any guests who can offer a higher price? Any more? Any more?"

The host repeated the price loudly, gently swayed her black dress, and began to walk slowly on the stage.

With every step she took, her skirt swayed, revealing the snow-white skin of her calves, attracting the gazes of the perverts in the audience.

"Ten million..." Another bid was raised from a corner of the venue.

"Another customer has made an offer of 125 million. Is there a higher price?" The host was all smiles as she looked around quickly with anticipation. She did not let go of any one person present and was hoping for a higher bid. After all, the higher the final transaction price, the more commission she would get.

"Add five million..."

"Someone raised the price by another 5 million. Now it's 130 million. Is there any higher bid? Anything else?"

The host continued to twist her body, her steps were light and somewhat enchanting, and every movement was just right.

As she walked around, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more heated. Then someone shouted to raise the price by five million, and the amount on the projection screen continued to jump and rise.

At this time, in Box 22, Yu Hai and Luo Yan were staring at the numbers that kept jumping and flashing on the projection screen. Those numbers all represented real money, and Yu Hai felt a little excited.

"Ayan, how much do you think this Swampert can be sold for in the end?" Yu Hai frowned slightly, with a hint of uncertainty in his expression.

He had confidence in the host's professional ability and ethics, but after all, it was his first time to personally participate in such a large-scale auction. Seeing the amount on the projection screen rising, he felt excited and nervous, and couldn't help asking Luo Yan beside him.

"Boss, it's hard to say." Luo Yan shook his head slightly, sighed softly, and said with a hint of thought in his tone: "The current environment is not very optimistic. If it were in the past when the economy was booming and the elf market was hot..."

"The prices of Pokémon like the Three Starters, especially the Water and Grass Starters, might soar to around 200 million. Their popularity is only slightly lower than that of super popular Pokémon like Electric Beast. But now, the Alliance is cracking down and the market is sluggish, so it's hard to predict..."

"Indeed, the current situation is sensitive, and it happens to be a special period with a special auction of the three major families. Many unfavorable factors have come together." Yu Hai sighed helplessly, feeling a sense of emotion in his heart. It can be said that it is fate and time.

But even so, these two king-level elves will not be kept in hand. The top priority is to quickly transform them into resources to enhance one's own strength. This is the top priority for one's future development.

He felt that two elves would be enough this time, and one king-level poisonous jellyfish would be fine, and they could deal with it later. If three elves attacked together, it would be too eye-catching.

The reason for choosing to keep the stinging jellyfish is that they are the least injured and can last longer.

……

As the atmosphere in the venue heated up, it was like a burning flame reaching its boiling point.

The host's face was flushed, and she shouted at the top of her voice for the final time: "One hundred and fifty-five million at a time, is there a higher bid? Any more?" Her voice echoed in the spacious conference hall, full of charm.

The host walked around the auction table quickly again and again, each step was steady and powerful. She even paused for two minutes, scanning the entire venue with her bright eyes, not missing any corner, and her ears perked up, hoping to catch the sound of higher bidding.

However, there was no other movement except the sound of people breathing. She could only raise her voice and shout: "One hundred and fifty-five million twice, is there a higher bid..."

This time, she stretched out the tail end of her voice, trying to buy some more time, hoping to hear a higher bid.

More than a minute passed, and the venue was still eerily quiet, with no one raising the price.

The host reluctantly picked up the microphone and shouted for the last time: "One hundred and fifty-five million three times..."

"This giant Swampert belongs to the guest in Box No. 9. Please complete the transaction as soon as possible. Someone will lead the way later..."

As the host finished speaking, there was a slight murmur in the venue. Some people were amazed at the price of over 100 million yuan, while others were curious about the identity of the guest in box number nine.

"Next is the second item, which is also a water-type king-level elf." The host said as he neatly pulled open the black cloth on the second tray.

In an instant, the elf's basic information was clearly displayed on the projection screen.

Lot: Gyarados.

Gender: Male.

Strength: King level.

Current situation: Injured, but not serious, can be treated, still has the powerful strength of a king.

"This Gyarados is also a powerful Pokémon of the King class. I believe everyone knows the value of the King Gyarados, so I won't waste any more time introducing it..."

The host took a deep breath, calmed down, stared at the tablet in his hand, and then picked up the microphone and shouted: "The starting price of Gyarados is 50 million, and each bid increase must not be less than 5 million..."

Compared with the previous Swampert, Gyarados's value is obviously much lower, and the starting price alone is exactly twice as much.

Faced with such a starting price, Yu Hai sat in box 22 with a calm expression, not showing any doubt.

He knew clearly that as a veteran auctioneer of black ships, the auction house had already thought carefully about what the starting price should be and what the final transaction price would be. He could tell something by just looking at the host's familiar look.

"Add five million..." A voice came from the front left of the meeting room, breaking the brief silence.

"Fifty-five million now, is there any higher bid?" the host quickly responded, looking towards the source of the voice.

"Add ten million..." Then, another loud voice sounded.

"Sixty-five million now, is there any higher bid..." The host's voice echoed in the venue. The emotions were high, the shouts were very contagious, and his eyes were full of expectations, continuing to stir up the atmosphere on the scene.

Even though the price of the auction item did not exceed 100 million yuan, she was still full of enthusiasm. From time to time, she approached the edge of the auction table, swaying her body and showing off her curvy and proud figure.

Among the audience, there were many perverts who were attracted by the charm of the host and kept bidding in order to attract the attention of the beauty.

The atmosphere in the entire venue was extremely lively, with people bidding back and forth and the sound of bidding rising one after another. In the end, this Gyarados was successfully sold for 85 million.

With the end of the auction of the two king-level elves, the auction entered its normal process. Several staff members pushed an iron cage tightly wrapped in black cloth and walked steadily onto the stage.

The host stretched out his slender white arms and quickly pulled off the black cloth covering the cage, revealing the items inside to everyone without reservation.

"The item for this auction is still a Pokémon, one of the Big Three Pokémon, Squirtle. I believe everyone is very familiar with this water Pokémon. In an island environment like the Orange Islands, Squirtle's practicality and value are self-evident, so I won't introduce it in detail..."

The host had a friendly smile on his face. He finally entered a familiar segment and immediately became excited. He shouted loudly: "This Squirtle has a very good talent. It can be confirmed that one of its parents is a king-level Pokémon. We have a test certificate to prove it..."

"Not only that, this Squirtle also inherited powerful water-based moves like Water Cannon, as well as superpower moves like Mind Hammer. It's a Squirtle with the potential to become a superstar. The starting price is 40 million, and each increase in price must be no less than 5 million!" The host's voice echoed in the venue, full of anticipation, trying to ignite everyone's enthusiasm for bidding.

knock knock --

Just as the host was shouting passionately, the door of box 22 was knocked. Luo Yan heard the knock, went forward to open the door, and found the waiter he had seen before standing at the door, so he stepped aside to let the other person in.

Following the waiter was a masked man dressed in black. Judging from his figure and behavior, he should be a man, possibly one of the buyers.

After the waiter came in, he politely introduced: "Sir, this gentleman is the buyer of Swampert..."

The waiter gently closed the door, and the buyer looked directly at Ukai who was sitting on the sofa, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is Swampert?"

"Where's the money?" Yu Hai sat steadily on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the mysterious buyer in front of him.

The buyer was wrapped in black clothes, with his face completely covered, leaving only a pair of eyes visible, hidden under the shadow of the hood.

But at this moment, these external appearances are irrelevant. In this transaction, the most important thing is the real money.

"The money is here, all in cash with a face value of ten thousand." The Swampert buyer said concisely and threw the handbag in his hand towards the falling rock. The bag drew an arc in the air.

Luo Yan hurried forward, took the handbag steadily, opened the bag and roughly looked through the cash inside, then quickly took out a money detector from his backpack.

He carefully checked each handful of banknotes. Seeing this, the waiter beside him was called over by Luo Yan to help. For a while, the only sound in the box was the "clicking" sound of the money detector.

In fact, although 15500 million in cash is a huge amount, if converted into yuan banknotes, it would only be pieces, weighing only kilograms, which can be easily put into a slightly larger handbag.

As the banknote inspection was completed and the cash was counted correctly, Luo Yan raised his head and nodded to Yu Hai.

Ukai understood what he meant and threw the Poké Ball containing Swampert toward the buyer, while shouting, “Catch it…”

The buyer of Swampert reached out and caught the Poké Ball steadily, took out a small instrument from his pocket, and carefully examined the Poké Ball. After confirming that the Swampert inside was indeed maintaining the energy level of a king, he turned around and left the box, moving quickly and decisively.

Luo Yan quickly packed the 140 million in cash into his backpack. The extra 15 million, which was the auction house's commission according to the rules, was taken away by the waiter nearby.

After a while, the waiter led another man who was also dressed in black and covered his face into the box.

No need to guess, the buyer this time is Gyarados, and just like before, he still uses cash transactions.

Luoyan repeated the same process, carefully counting the cash, and after confirming that everything was correct, Yu Hai threw the Gyarados Poké Ball to the buyer. The buyer took the ball, also took out the instrument to check, and after confirming that everything was normal, he turned around and left the box silently.

This time, Luo Yan put 80 million in cash into his backpack, and the remaining 5 million was taken away by the waiter as commission.

However, soon, the five million returned to Yu Hai, including the fifteen million he had taken away before, because the twenty million deposit paid previously needed to be returned.

After the transaction with Gyarados was completed, the waiter politely explained that as for the shortfall in commission, he had received instructions from his supervisor, who had specially rounded off the commission for the distinguished guest.

The waiter smiled and reminded Yu Hai that if he saw something he liked at the auction, he could just buy it here. After that, the waiter bowed politely and left the box.

After selling these two king-level elves, Yu Hai made a total of 220 million after some calculations.

Now that the deal is done, it’s time to see if there’s anything worth buying at the auction.

Yu Hai looked at Luo Yan who was placing two handbags full of money steadily on the coffee table. The light in the box was soft, shining on the two black handbags. He did not touch them, but could not help but asked curiously: "How much did the Squirtle take just now?"
