Chapter 4
Chapter 4
After the host announced the start of the auction, the voices in the venue immediately became much quieter, and almost everyone focused their attention on the auction stage.
The first to start the auction is jewelry.
Tianluo Dalu has a wide variety of accessories, mainly headwear, earrings, waist ornaments, and hand ornaments.
Headwear is divided into forehead ornaments, hair ornaments, neck ornaments and so on.
Qin Shu swore that this was the first time he had seen so many accessories.
But this is not what surprised him, what surprised him was that not all the bidders for jewelry were women, and some men even bid more ferociously than women.
At first, Qin Shu subconsciously thought that they were buying for the women in the family, until he looked along the bidding sign and saw a tall and thick man with a string of pearls hanging from his left earlobe.
Qin Shu: "..."
The world is amazing.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Shu turned his head and looked at the person closest to him, who was the young master of the Xu family.
Although he didn't wear earrings, there were three slender braids in his long hair, and each braid was wrapped with gold thread, which looked pretty shiny under the light.
Tsk, pay attention.
It doesn't look like myself, with long hair casually tied with a wide hair tie.
Tianluo people's pursuit of beauty really makes Qin Shu feel ashamed.
Is this a cultural difference?
But even in such a culture, Qin Shu still has no interest in jewelry.
He wears the ring simply because there is room in the ring.
Therefore, until the auction of the accessories came to an end, Qin Shu hadn't made a bid, and was the only person in the VIP table who hadn't made a bid.
The young master of the Xu family couldn't help turning his head to look at him with confusion in his eyes.
Sensing his gaze, Qin Shu glanced lazily over - to be honest, he was going to fall asleep if the heroine didn't show up again.
Perhaps he didn't expect Qin Shu to look over, so the young master of the Xu family was stunned for a moment before he said, "Why didn't you bid? Could it be because you don't have money?"
"If I say yes, will you give me money?" Qin Shu asked back.
The other party rolled his eyes and turned his head away, ignoring him.
After the auction of accessories, we took a break before starting the auction of weapons.
A spirit master doesn't need weapons. After all, no matter how powerful he is, he can't be stronger than his spirit, and if his spirit is injured, he will also be injured. No matter how many weapons he has, it's useless.
Therefore, after the auction of weapons started, people with imperial spirits began to pretend to be aggressive. Those who yawned yawned, and those who went to the toilet went to the toilet. Even if they yearned for weapons in their hearts, they would pretend to be "so boring, Come on, you guys" gesture, for fear that others will not know that I have a spirit of control.
Qin Shu was different.
When the first weapon was shot, not only did he sit up straight, but a fiery light flickered in his eyes.
Which man has never had a dream of saving the world with a holy sword!
So, under the incomprehensible gaze of the young master of the Xu family, Qin Shu took pictures of two swords and a pair of daggers.
"You..." The corners of Xu's lips twitched wildly.
"Huh?" Qin Shu turned his head when he heard the sound, with joy in his eyes that he had successfully photographed the item.
"Forget it..." The Xu family raised the hand close to Qin Shu to cover half of their face, pretending not to know him.
Qin Shu didn't care.
He knew what these people were thinking, didn't they just think that buying weapons as a spirit master was cheap.
But he feels that things like social status are supported by a person's ability, and have nothing to do with the person's preferences.
Moreover, who knows if there will be a day when Yu Ling will not be useful?
After a while, it finally came to the part of the auctioneer.
This time, Qin Shu's style of painting was finally consistent with that of the other people in the VIP table—everyone was ready to bid.
If it is said that weapons are auctioned for people who do not have Yuling, then the part of the auctioneer is specially designed for the Yuling clan.
On this continent ruled by the Yuling clan, only the Yuling clan can afford to raise all kinds of servants.
You know, after the photo is taken, the other party is your own person, and you have to rely on yourself for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
To use an inappropriate analogy, pets must always be fed - the servants of Tianluo Continent are equivalent to such a concept.
Host: "The person who will appear next is a descendant of the dark race."
coming!
Hearing the word "Dark Race", Qin Shu's upper body unconsciously leaned forward, and his eyes fell on the curtain behind the host, his eyes full of anticipation.
The heroine is from the Dark Race, and she is the only Dark Race in this auction.
Therefore, just hearing the word "Dark Race", Qin Shu knew that the heroine was on the stage.
I wonder if it is as beautiful as described in the book?
"The dark people are famous for their agility. They seem weak, but their strength and speed are far beyond ordinary people. Most of their awakened attributes are water elements, which are very rare in water elements."
"Before she officially appears on the stage, there is only so much information I can disclose. The auction starts with 100 gold coins, and the first bidding begins!"
Following the host's words, Qin Shu raised the sign in his hand almost immediately.
There are four colors of bidding cards, the price of green is 10 gold, the price of blue is 100 gold, the price of red is 1000 gold, and the price of black is 10000 gold.
In the original book, the male protagonist directly bid [-] gold, and took the female protagonist in an uproar.
Qin Shu couldn't be so domineering, but he put down the green card and raised the blue card in a face-increasing price of 100 gold.
The host froze for a moment when he saw the sign he raised, and then smiled awkwardly and politely for some reason.
I don't know if I noticed something on the host's face, the audience was silent, and for a while, even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.
Qin Shu blinked, feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Before he could figure out why everyone reacted like this, the young master of the Xu family laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha!"
Miss Xu's family also sneered, and said in a contemptuous tone: "The dignified young master of the Qin family, is it too insulting to only give 200?"
Qin Shu was dumbfounded.
What's the meaning?Isn't the bidding all increasing slowly?He had gone too far in bidding for weapons before, only adding 10 gold to the price offered by others, and there was no abnormal atmosphere.
"Hahaha, you don't think photographing people is the same as photographing objects, do you?" Mr. Xu said with a smile, "This money is going to be sent to the person you photographed, and you only give 200 gold for the first meeting? I have never seen a more stingy master than you!"
Is that so?
Qin Shu thought that the so-called servants in this book were similar to slaves, but now it seems that they are closer to mercenaries - they will be hired with a sum of money first, and then they will be provided with food and housing until they don't want to raise them anymore.
Qin Shu swore that he didn't mean to insult the heroine!He really hasn't understood the setting of this world yet!
Fortunately, the host responded quickly: "As expected of the young master of the Qin family, he really knows how to joke with us... Without further ado, let's welcome the protagonist's debut together!"
Hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
"So it was a joke?"
"It must be a joke, right? Anyway, 200 gold is too much."
In this way, amidst the discussion of the crowd, the heroine appeared on the stage.
She lifted the curtain and walked out, and immediately raised her eyes to look at Qin Shu who was sitting in the VIP seat. Her eyes were as cold as ice, which made Qin Shu shiver.
However, despite her cold eyes, she is indeed as beautiful as described in the book.
Against the background of the black robe, the already snow-white complexion looked even fairer, and it seemed to glow under the light.
The facial features are so delicate that no flaws can be picked out.
The moment she came out, even sitting in the high VIP seats, Qin Shu could hear an obvious sound of breathing on the court.
Host: "Her name is Lian Shuang, she is 15 years old, she is from the Dark Tribe, and her water attribute is level 10."
"I'll go to level 10!" Someone from below exclaimed.
"Sure enough, those who can make it to the auction stage are all monsters!"
"The second bidding begins, someone..."
Before the host finished speaking, the young master of the Xu family next to Qin Shu raised a red card—a price increase of 1000 gold!
"It's actually a girl, and she looks pretty, which is really surprising." Mr. Xu said, "Maybe she can't do rough work, but it can be used to warm the bed..."
Qin Shu was stunned for a moment—that's the sentence!
The hero in the original book raised his card because he heard this sentence and didn't want the heroine to be ruined.
It has to be said that Qin Shu and the hero have the same thoughts in many cases.Even if he hasn't read the book, he will make the same choice as the hero when encountering the same thing.
However, due to various reasons in his "previous life", he became a bit stingy... If he hadn't read the book, he really didn't have the courage to directly increase the price by [-].
But now that he has read the book and knows the significance of the money to the heroine, of course it is - Qin Shu gritted his teeth and held up the black sign.
"The young master of the Qin family raised the price by [-]!"
Following the host's words, the audience was in an uproar.
This is the atmosphere described in the book.
However, Qin Shu's heart was bleeding... He comforted himself with "Anyway, I have a lot of money now", while looking at the heroine from a distance.
The hostess looked in his direction and narrowed her eyes. There was no emotion on her pretty face, but more vigilance.
Qin Shu knew that, unlike her soft and beautiful appearance, the heroine was a ruthless person who was best at retaliation.
If he was really photographed by Young Master Xu and asked her to do something she didn't want to do, it is estimated that Young Master Xu would spend the rest of his life lying in bed.
So Qin Shu took pictures of her not because he was worried that she would be bullied, but mainly because he wanted her to be with the male lead.
"11200 once, 11200 twice, 11200 three times—deal!"
After the host announced the result, Qin Shu heaved a long sigh of relief, and leaned on the back of the chair with his whole body relaxed, feeling like the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Then he remembered - the hero has a servant, does he have to take a picture for himself?
Host: "The person who will appear next is from Meizu."
Ok?
Qin Shu was stunned for a moment, and after leaning on the back of the chair for a short time, he straightened up again.
The book "Tian Luo Gu Ji" was written around Qin Yan. Qin Yan was a member of the Yuling clan, so the book did not focus on races other than the Yuling clan.
Meizu... Qin Shu swears that he has never seen this race in books.
But obviously, this race really existed on this continent, and it gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Before today, Qin Shu had never thought about the relationship between "Ancient Records of Tianluo" and Tianluo Continent—was the world born from the book, or the book born from the world?
But now, he suddenly had a creepy feeling, because he realized that he might not be wearing a book, but a real world.
Otherwise, how to explain that there are people and things in this world that are not described in the book?
"This time I just invited someone out." The host said, "His name is Qi Mei, he is 17 years old, and his identity is unknown."
"The attribute is unknown?" Someone below was wondering.
There are very few people in Tianluo Continent who cannot awaken their attributes. In the eyes of Tianluo people, these people are no different from disabled people. They are not qualified to be on the auction stage.
So this Meizu man named Qi Mei must have attributes, but why did he say "unknown attributes"?
Soon, more and more people questioned:
"What does attribute unknown mean?"
"Have you tested it?"
"That's right." The host had no choice but to explain, "At the request of Qi Mei himself, his attributes are not disclosed. If you have requirements for attributes, please bid carefully."
Just when the host said this, Qi Mei came out from behind the curtain.
He looked a little nervous, and kept his head down after walking to the host, with half of his face hidden in the shadow cast by his bangs, making it hard to see his appearance.
Both men and women in Tianluo like to have long hair, and Qi Mo is no exception, but his hair is not draped behind his back like most people, but braided and placed on his shoulders.
And his clothes are also a bit special, at first glance it looks very simple, not to mention the edge of the flaxen robe is torn, and even the belt is replaced by hemp rope.
I wonder if this is Meizu's unique style?
Qin Shu looked at him from a distance, and the inexplicable sense of familiarity became stronger, as if he had worn such clothes a long time ago...
But how is it possible?
"The auction starts at 100 gold. Bidding begins!"
