Chapter 1240: Chapter 926, Consortium Auction

Someone mentioned this matter.

Many people thought of last year’s auction.

At that time, there was also someone who swept up most of the special items and tools at the auction, spending extravagantly.

Like someone who had never seen tools before.

However, the voice last time was a young man, this time it was a girl’s voice, with a bit of arrogance.

Actually, the people in the third-floor private room could roughly guess a certain range.

Retili glanced at the position of the private room upstairs and continued, “Next, we have the last item in the sale of tools, the Space Satchel. It is a Master-level creation by a Rune Master, taking three years to complete one. It has an internal storage space of 100 cubic meters, priced at 2,500 gold coins, each bid must not be less than 100. Ladies and gentlemen, please commence bidding…”

The staff on stage, holding a tray, walked half a circle around the front of the stage, displaying the sachet.

People began to whisper among themselves.

“There’s a Space Satchel again this year, the consortium must have increased the production speed!”

“Coming to Gold and Silver Island for the event, of course, they have to bring out some valuable tools.”

“I wonder if the person in the third-floor VIP room will keep buying.”

“Indeed!”

The Space Satchel is one of the most popular items in the consortium’s auction items.

It has no side effects and can store items of 100 cubic meters.

As people say, if you can win it, you can make a profit by transporting goods for a few years.

After briefly chatting, people started bidding.

It soared from 2,500 to 5,700.

Meanwhile, more people looked at the third-floor VIP room.

Sure enough, a bidding voice came from the third floor again, “6,300.”

The audience immediately quieted down, no one bid higher.

It was pointless to bid now, and for this auction, everyone appeared as themselves, no one wanted to cause trouble for themselves.

Retili, turning back, said, “6,300 gold coins once, 6,300 gold coins twice, … three times, congratulations to the third-floor VIP for winning the Space Satchel.”

…

“The Space Satchel should be the last auction item.”

“Ah~! A wasted trip, now even money can’t buy anything.”

“Not exactly wasted, I think the entertainment city is quite nice. I can bring the girls to play here when there’s time, and there’s also a place to stay.”

“Those combat tools that fill the room, how are they made? Gold and Silver Island must have strong technology.”

“Island Lord Wu Heng is indeed impressive at improving development like this.”

People chatted as they began packing up to leave.

By this time in previous years, it would usually be the end.

Actually, this trip wasn’t wasted, the entertainment city is indeed interesting. Even going back, it’s something to boast about in noble circles.

On the stage, Retili looked at the restless crowd.

She walked to the side to take a sip of water, then returned, gently clapping her hands before continuing, “Ladies and gentlemen, don’t rush, next is the finale item of the auction.”

Whoa~!

The once noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, everyone raised their heads to look at the stage.

A finale?

The consortium has changed the rules this time? Adding something new?

They put such effort into making a venue like this, clearly putting in more effort than previous years.

Once everyone quieted down, the staff on stage came out with a tray holding a beautifully crafted elixir and demonstrated it to the crowd at the front.

Retili followed with an introduction, “A Strengthening Elixir produced by Gold and Silver Island. Consuming it can directly change one’s constitution. Its efficacy has been verified by both the association and the consortium. Starting price is 5,000 gold coins, each bid must be no less than 200 gold coins.”

Whoosh~!

The crowd that had calmed down instantly burst into fervor.

“I read about Gold and Silver Island’s elixirs in the newspaper.”

“I heard the last elixirs were all bought by heroes and various royal families.”

“The consortium is impressive to be able to bring this out.”

“Retili is really on a roll this year, I wonder how she got hold of the elixir.”

As people discussed, a human elder was the first to bid, “5,200 gold coins….”

The chatter abruptly stopped, and the bidding voice quickly followed, “5,400 gold coins.”

“….”

“6,000.” A dwarf with iron-gray beard wearing a gold buckle, gestured respectfully to those around, “The Flame Casting Alliance needs this elixir, I hope you’ll give us face. We’ll offer an 80% discount on weapons crafting in the future.”

“7,000.” The words had barely fallen when someone outbid.

The dwarf glared, but no one gave him a chance to lose his temper.

Following bidding voices rose again.

…

Lilith’s private room.

“How does this Retili know your uncle? And yet she lets her auction the elixirs.” Lilith sipped her tea.

Xiao Xiao, sitting on the sofa, swinging her little legs, said, “I don’t know, I haven’t been home much these days.”

Lilith gave a reproachful look at the little child, then asked, “How did they meet?”

Xiao Xiao pondered for a moment before continuing, “At the last auction, Uncle bought a lot of stuff. This aunt gave him a membership card, and later Uncle bought many things from her, so they got acquainted.”

“Membership card?” Lilith raised an eyebrow.

“It’s that badge, different colors get discounts on purchases from the consortium. Uncle’s is the highest membership.” Xiao Xiao said with a bit of pride.

Lilith nodded thoughtfully, “Did he buy like this last time too?”

“Yes, back then we had nothing, we could only spend money to buy more things.” Xiao Xiao’s tone was like that of a child who had suffered.

For the first time, Lilith heard someone say that spending money means they have nothing.

“Why buy so much?”

“For the skeletons, of course. I have too many skeletons at home, they’re really short on equipment.” Xiao Xiao said innocently, then looked at Lilith, “Sister, do you want something? I can ask Uncle for it.”
