Chapter Thirty

Seeing that Yang Ruoyu bought a thin sword, Zhou Tianyi said disdainfully: "You want this garbage?"

The thin sword is shorter than an ordinary sword, less than three feet, and has a sharp top and a thick bottom similar to a Western sword. However, it is indeed open on both sides and is not an iron rod.

This kind of weapon can not only carry out frequent thrusts, but also carry out chopping attacks under appropriate circumstances. It can be regarded as having the advantages of both sides.

However, the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, this design with a sharp top and a thick bottom will make the rapier very brittle, and it will easily break if it collides with a heavy weapon, so Zhou Tianyi called it garbage.

"Whether it's rubbish or not, you won't know until you try it. Let's have a duel that day to let you understand my new swordsmanship practice."

Zhou Tianyi was too lazy to be serious with her.

At this time, something he liked finally appeared in the auction house below.

"The secret art of weapon forging has been verified by many parties. It should be the work left in the world by a hidden forging master. It compiles many experiences and techniques of elementary forging, which is very suitable for novices to learn and study."

"The starting price is fifty thousand horses."

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed little interest. Weapon blacksmiths were relatively rare, and their forging skills were basically passed down by word of mouth. Unless they were high-level, no one would buy this kind of wild forging skills.

Besides, the selling price is still so expensive, 50,000 horses is enough to buy an ordinary set of bone armor equipment.

Seeing the lack of interest among everyone, Zhou Tianyi tentatively raised the sign: "Fifty thousand and one hundred horses."

The auctioneer, who originally thought that this item was going to fail the auction, immediately became energetic and said with joy: "Someone has bid, someone has bid, within 50,000 horses, is there anyone who bids higher?"

While speaking, he inadvertently stamped his feet twice.

Then, a young man sitting in the corner of the auction house said: "Seventy thousand horses!"

Zhou Tianyi frowned and said, "You don't want others if they don't want you, and you want others if they want you. It's really despicable."

With that said, Zhou Tianyi was about to hold up the sign, but Yang Ruoyu on the side actually held it down.

"Wait a minute and try again. The person who just made the bid was Tou."

"Ah! Please?" Zhou Tianyi looked confused.

At this time, Murong Ke also reacted. He explained: "Each auction house has a subsidy to raise the price of goods that are not particularly popular, but that some people want."

"You didn't increase the price much just now. Even if you sell it to the auction house, you won't make much profit, so they use this method to force you to increase the price."

"If you don't add it and the auction ends up being rejected, they won't lose anything. But if you add the price, then they will make more money."

Zhou Tianyi's mouth twitched when he heard this: "Damn, this auction house is worse than me. If it doesn't work, I have to fight with him!"

With that said, Zhou Tianyi raised the sign and said: "I will pay 70,001 yuan!"

As soon as he said this, the people around him burst into laughter.

"Haha, where did this country bumpkin come from? He actually added an extra dollar!"

Listening to the laughter around him, the auctioneer also reminded: "For the distinguished guests on the second floor, our auction house has regulations that each bid increase must not be less than one hundred horses."

After Zhou Tianyi was laughed at, he did not blush, but said: "Oh, really! Then I don't want it."

After saying that, Zhou Tianyi sat down.

The auctioneer doesn't care, since he won't get much commission even if it's sold anyway. The auction house will waste some time at most, that's all.

So he started to say as usual: "Seventy thousand once, seventy thousand twice, seventy thousand..."

"Wait a minute, I thought about it and thought it would be good to buy it. Let's do this. I'll pay 70,000." Zhou Tianyi stood up again.

The people around laughed again.

"Hey, he's such a country bumpkin. I wonder how he got into the second floor?"

"How else could I get in? Maybe I got close to that rich woman."

After the two of them finished teasing, a middle-aged lady in her forties next to her shook her body and said, "I think so. My whole body feels weak when I hear this voice."

When the two people nearby heard this, they quickly hid away.

The auctioneer was also speechless. He didn't bother to stir up the atmosphere. He stamped his foot three times and then started banging the hammer.

"Seventy thousand and one hundred times, seventy thousand and one hundred times..."

"One hundred thousand horses." In the corner of the auction house, the young man called out the price.

The auctioneer smiled and continued: "It seems that this thing is quite popular."

"Once within one hundred thousand horses, twice within one hundred thousand horses, one hundred thousand..."

"One hundred thousand and one hundred!" Zhou Tianyi called the price again.

The smile on the auctioneer's face grew stronger and he continued to stamp his feet.

Once, twice...

Just when he was about to stamp his foot for the third time, he saw Zhou Tianyi jump directly from the second floor to the auctioneer.

"Brother, are your feet cramped? Let me massage them for you!"

While he was talking, Zhou Tianyi had already knocked the auctioneer to the ground, and placed his two big hands on his calf and squeezed him hard.

The auctioneer immediately let out a miserable howl.

Ouch~!

This sudden scene frightened everyone around. This kind of thing has never happened since the Changshan Auction House opened.

The surrounding patrolmen reacted quickly. They took out their firearms and quickly stepped forward to surround Zhou Tianyi.

"Put him down, put your head in your hands, and squat on the ground!"

At this time, Yang Ruoyu also jumped down from the second floor, showed his ID to the inspectors and said: "He is one of our own, he has no ill intentions."

When the inspectors saw the certificates, they quickly stood up straight and saluted: "Hello, sir."

At this time, the auctioneer also came to his senses and shouted: "Who are you and what do you want to do? Let me go."

After hearing this, Zhou Tianyi released the auctioneer's legs, and then said angrily: "Didn't I see that your legs were cramping? I'm going to give you a massage. I won't charge you for it, and you yelled at me!"

Yelling, the locals are so rude!"

The auctioneer has long been furious. Although he is an ordinary person, this is his territory anyway. Being bullied like this is something that an uncle can tolerate but an aunt cannot tolerate.

"Screw you, where do I get leg cramps? You clearly want to beat me, I want the patrol to arrest you!"

"No cramps? Then where and what did you stamp your legs just now?" Zhou Tianyi asked, tilting his head.

The auctioneer was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained: "This is my habit, can you control it?"

When they got here, it was time for Tu Qiongdeng to meet. Zhou Tianyi pushed away the crowd and pointed at the person bidding with him in the distance and said: "If you stomp twice, he will add 20,000, if you stomp three times, he will add 30,000."

, where did you stamp your feet just now? Will he raise the price again later?"

"I think if it's not your leg that's cramped, it's because you have someone in the auction house."

"I don't think the auction will be held today. Let's call the patrol first and investigate the auctioneer and the dog keeper!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence!

At this time, the young man pointed at by Zhou Tianyi turned around and was about to leave. However, a young man was already waiting beside him.

"Brother, why are you leaving in such a hurry?" The person coming was none other than Murong Ke.
