Chapter 36 I don't know how high the sky is
Chapter 36: Don’t know the sky is high and the earth is thick
"First of all, thank you for coming here to participate in this auction at this time." The Frozen Banshee said thank you in her voice without any warmth, but her following words made me lose my previous questions about why she was here. "You can come here, which means that you have achieved great success in this war against China, and in return, you will be qualified to distribute spoils."
The meaning of the Frozen Banshee is very obvious. This auction is all the acts of all the guilds that launched an invasion against our country, so all of them are my enemies. Of course, this is a game, and players can be resurrected if they die. If in reality, the heads of hostile countries gather together for a meeting and get me infiltrated, it would be great. They can destroy the other party's command system in one go, but it is impossible to happen here.
After saying the opening remarks, the Frozen Banshee finally got to the point. "Because the war itself consumes resources, we need to consume a lot of funds in advance before occupying the Chinese city. Therefore, in order to ensure that the war can continue, we must obtain the war funds. Where does this fund come from? It comes from the auction funds used by you everybody. The staff of the Pantheon will be responsible for the specific auction work, and they will explain what rules and precautions are there." After saying this, the Frozen Banshee left the auction stand, and then an auctioneer in a tuxedo walked up to start taking over the auction host.
"Hello everyone, I am the auctioneer at this auction. As for my name, I won't say it. I guess you don't want to know it. Now I will tell you the process and rules of the auction. First of all, I hope you will understand the risks of this auction. Since the cities and resources we sell are not actually under our control, it is also possible that you have paid but cannot get the city you deserve. Please make sure you are clear about this. Don't ask us to argue with us if you can't get the city at that time. We won't be able to manage our finances at that time." The auctioneer suddenly smiled and said, "Of course, the possibility of not getting the city is actually very low. After all, we are very careful in the plan this time, so you don't have to worry too much."
After talking about this precaution, the auctioneer paused for a while before continuing, "Okay, let me talk about the auction rules now. Because the things we sell are special, the rules this time are also complicated. Please be careful. First of all, I want to tell you that because the several super-large guilds with the greatest power in this war have already allocated the ownership of large cities in advance, most of the auctions that can be auctioned are small and medium-sized cities and mining areas. Of course, it is not that there are no large cities, but relatively few. There is another point that needs to be paid attention to, because these guilds assigned to large cities actually sent people to attend today, so don't think that those large cities will definitely be obtained by you. After all, the funds for large guilds should be relatively abundant, and it is not wise to compete with them. Therefore, I hope everyone can restrain themselves a little when they start bidding later."
When I heard the auctioneer's words, there was a buzzing sound immediately on the scene, as if it had become a vegetable market in an instant. But thinking about it, the large cities in our country were selected by those big guilds first, so the other guilds present were naturally not satisfied. Although I dare not fight against the big guilds openly, it is still okay to complain.
"Okay, OK, please be quiet." I guess the people below complained almost, and the auctioneer began to maintain order on the scene. "I know you are unbalanced, but don't be jealous. Those big banks have indeed divided the most abundant cities, but don't forget that everyone is all from other people. You can buy a city or a mining area by just paying some money here. This has saved a lot of trouble compared to others. Although it seems that you spend money on buying a city and using people to attack the city, you must know that there are a lot of invisible consumption in the process of attacking the city, so the benefits of others are not in vain, and they are all hard-working."
After hearing the auctioneer's words, the people below finally got a little bit more balanced. In fact, their imbalance is just because of jealousy, which is actually the same as the people's hatred of wealth. However, the presidents of these small and medium-sized guilds hate large guilds, but they don't know that those lone players who have not joined any guilds also hate them. From this point of view, everyone is actually the same.
Seeing that the reaction below was a little better, the auctioneer began to say: "Okay, I've told you about what you need to pay attention to. Let's start talking about the specific auction rules. This auction is auctioned in the form of cities and mining areas, which means we will sell each city and mining area, and it can be said that it bids for each city and mining area respectively. This is no different from the general auction rules. But..." The auctioneer suddenly emphasized and dragged a long tone. "But you must pay attention to one thing, that is, what we sell.
The city may not be occupied in the end. If the city is not finally defeated after the battle, then you will not be able to obtain the city and the funds will not be returned to you. However, there is one thing you need to pay attention to here, that is, the cities that are truly at risk are actually those cities that penetrate deep into the hinterland of China, rather than cities on the border. The cities on the border are usually cities that are close to military fortresses. The defense of such cities is usually very high, so the damage will definitely be more serious after the capture.
And due to innate factors, such cities are usually not very profitable. However, because they are close to our borders, they will definitely be occupied at the first time, and they will almost certainly be controlled by us after the battle. Therefore, if you want to buy such cities, you will almost never have to take any risks. On the contrary, cities that go deep into the hinterland of China are far from the border, so the possibility of not being able to capture them will increase exponentially. However, these cities located in the hinterland are usually cities with stronger commercialization. Although the defense of these cities is not low, the oil and water are definitely more than border cities. Of course, the two cities I am talking about are actually two extremes, and they are more neutral cities between the two. Their characteristics will vary depending on the distance from the border. You can decide how much money to buy these cities based on your prediction of the battle situation. I will only say one thing here, that is, when you discover the huge profits contained in a certain city, don’t forget the huge risks that accompany it.”
After the auctioneer said this, the presidents present began to think about it. Some people discussed it with their companions around them, but the process was very short. Obviously, they had done their homework before coming, and now they were just clearing their previous judgment.
After everyone on the scene finished discussing, the auctioneer lifted up a piece of cloth on the table in front of him, revealing a crystal globe below. "Okay, everyone, let's start the auction now. First, please look at the map." He said, and pressed his hand on the crystal globe, and the globe immediately projected a huge earth above the venue. Then as the auctioneer's fingers tweaked, the huge earth pattern also began to rotate with the rotation of the globe below. After a few times, the auctioneer turned the earth pattern to the location where China and Russia were located, and expanded and displayed the part between China and Russia. I felt that this thing was very similar to the holographic projection crystal of the War God, but the effect was much simplified, but its size was relatively small.
"Okay, everyone, the city you are seeing now is the first city we auctioned. It is located at xxx, xxx, xxx, and its name is Huangshui City, with a defense degree of 88312 and a city development degree of 22190. Other detailed data can be checked on the crystal ball in front of your seat. The base price of this city is one million crystal coins, and each increase must not be less than 100,000 crystal coins. Interested people can start bidding."
As the auctioneer finished speaking, a row of numbers and a name suddenly popped up on a crystal screen in front of the auction stand in the center of the venue. Only after the auctioneer's explanation did everyone know that the two rows of information were the guild name and bid amount, of course, only the name and amount of the current highest bidder were displayed. As everyone understood what the information represented, the screen had never stabilized, because the screen always showed the highest bid and then the name of the ***. In addition, the price had been changing, so that the people present could not see who paid the price, so they saw that the number was constantly turning up. In just ten seconds, the price soared to 23 million crystal coins, and it continued to jump up, but the speed was a little slower than at the beginning.
After nearly a minute of continuous jump, the price finally stabilized. The final display was that a guild called the Water Ghost Federation purchased the city for 48 million crystal coins. After the auctioneer asked three times that no one raised the price, the city finally successfully became the guild. Then the auctioneer began to throw some cities in our country on the map and let the Russians present compete for purchases. The scene seemed extremely hot from beginning to end. There were many people snatching those cities with small risks, and although some cities that penetrated deep into our country were very risky, there were also many people taking risks because of the oil and water. It felt that as long as the auctioneer dared to sell, someone would dare to buy it.
Because I knew that if nothing unexpected happened this time, the Russians would definitely be defeated in the end, so I was just a joke about this buying behavior on site. After slowly pouring myself a drink, I started drinking it slowly. However, as soon as the drink was halfway through, the auctioneer suddenly shouted: "The next city for auction is the highlight of this auction - Aisinger."
"Puff...! Cough... Cough... Cough... Cough..." The auctioneer said that he sprayed out all the drinks he had just drunk. These people are too exaggerated, right? It is normal to sell border cities. After all, they thought they would definitely win this time, so it is understandable to sell border cities. As for selling Chinese inland cities later, although this is a bit risky, it is not an absolute impossible thing. At least if our guild's response is not effective, they may still occupy one or two of our inland cities. But now they are so arrogant that even Aishinger dares to take it out for auction, and it seems that Aishinger has been captured by them. This is too much, right?
I originally thought that no one would accept such an outrageous auction, but who knew that after the auctioneer called out the base price of 100 million crystal coins, someone actually bid, and the bid number was swept away by the newly appeared number before it was displayed.
"Damn, these people definitely have their heads pinched the door panel!"
I just finished scolding here, and the numbers on the screen jumped several times in a row, instantly jumping from the base price of more than 100 million to 800 million crystal coins, and it seemed that there was a trend of jumping up. Sure enough, as soon as my idea appeared, the number suddenly increased by one, and became more than 1.1 billion. This time, not only me, but even the presidents of the small guilds around me started to call them crazy. But the idea of the crazy is different from that of ordinary people, because when not scolding the crazy, the price began to jump up again, and it was also the extremely abnormal jump. The price of the 1.1 billion yuan turned into two or five billion in the blink of an eye, which made me unable to help but scold this guy for being a 25-5.
Of course, it was not because of the price of Esinger. My Esinger's construction cost and profit are much more than 2.5 billion crystal coins. According to Rose's statistics, even if Esinger's reconstruction process was funding or material subsidies from the Heavenly Court and other gods' forces, our guild still invested nearly 5 billion crystal coins in it. If the things sent by the Heavenly Court and other gods' forces were converted into fees, Esinger's actual cost should be between 60 billion and 80 billion crystal coins. If anyone can exchange 2.5 billion crystal coins for such a city, he will definitely not be stupid at all. The reason why I say this guy is Esinger is because he really believes that the Russians can defeat Esinger this time.
Although Zero is a financial bomb, its essence is a black hole that constantly absorbs funds, in Zero, there is only one city with a cost of more than 10 billion crystal coins. According to the conversion formula in Zero, the defense ability of a city worth 60 billion to 80 billion is definitely greater than the attack power after converting it to NPC. That is to say, if Esinger is worth 60 billion, then you use 60 billion to buy NPC troops. As long as nothing unexpected happens, these troops will definitely not be able to defeat the city of Esinger. But the question is, how many NPC troops can you buy 60 billion? Calculate with the highest cost-effective Heavenly Court Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Continents. There is a limited edition divine general, single
A crystal coin sold for 100,000 yuan, with a level of 2,000, and its combat power is only a little lower than mine. If you exchange all the gods for 600 billion yuan, you can exchange them for 600,000. What is the concept of 600,000 NPCs? Generally, the top bosses in the large monster area are almost this level. That is a big boss who can fight a group of players alone. Cooperating with a little miscellaneous soldier can easily destroy a small guild. Six hundred thousand such perverts can gather together to make the Russian invading troops go back and forth in more than a dozen times, and the Russians actually expect to rely on their people to capture Aisinger. If this can be achieved, then there will be no fairy tales in this world, because fairy tales are much more reliable than this.
As the number continued to jump, the presidents of the Russian guild at the scene became excited. They all wanted to see who would fall into the world's most famous No. 1 Hero City. Although it was actually impossible, it seemed that no one at the scene cared about this.
After the price jumped continuously for nearly a minute, it finally started to slow down. Soon a more conspicuous name jumped out. "The smart polar bear guild is now bidding for 3.8 billion crystal coins. Has anyone come up with more? If not, the world's No. 1 Hesinger will be owned by the smart polar bear." The auctioneer shouted sensationally, but no one priced it anymore. Obviously, this number is scary enough. After all, although Aesinger is worth more than 60 billion, our guild actually only paid less than 5 billion. Besides, our guild is not a one-time investment, but has gradually increased to so many in the past year. Moreover, our guild is rich and rich. It is scary enough to be able to give 3.8 billion at a time.
After repeatedly confirming that no one had made a bid, the auctioneer finally decided to sell Aisinger to the smart polar bear. The presidents of the guilds at the scene applauded the smart polar bear, but I shook my head next to me. This guild should not be called a smart polar bear, but a stupid bear. They spent 3.8 billion to buy a city that would never be captured, and they could do it.
I originally thought that those people should be more restrained after selling Aisinger, but who knew that the auctioneer seemed to be addicted and began to sell other cities behind Aisinger, and the competition became more intense this time. According to their attitude, half of China would probably be gone in a while. I don’t understand what these people think. What big is half of China? There are indeed many Russian invading troops, but how many people can be divided into one square kilometer? They wouldn’t think that three or five people can occupy a city? I’ve seen it today.
