MC's career as foreign lord
Chapter 236: The Rich Man in the Desert
"Have all the security measures here been taken care of? I wouldn't want to be halfway through and suddenly get invaded!" Zhou Ren said.
Mossa, beside him, shook his head. "Master, you've already sealed this entire area with your domain. No one can break into your domain except for a god!"
Zhou Ren smiled. "I'm just concerned, aren't I? Are all the auction items ready?"
"Yes, all the auction items you ordered are prepared. But do you really want to auction off that rainmaking machine?" Mossa was still hesitant. This terrifying machine is not just a machine; it can change the weather. Even gods dream of such a rule-bending artifact.
Zhou Ren smiled. "If we didn't have this, how could we stir up their emotions? Today is mainly for wealth-based deification; everything else can be sacrificed for now!"
He looked at the stream of people entering and then at the VIP通道 next to them, prepared for the various races. "Prepare to enter; they should be arriving soon!"
Whether it was the Human Empire, the Elven race, or even the Dragon race, they had all sent people to take up residence early and obtained their own exclusive channel access.
Even Shia and Anna had gone to be with their people. They needed to secure a private room in the venue and wait for the auction to begin!
"Alright, let's prepare to start!" Zhou Ren clapped his hands. Since it's already like this, we can start!
"As you wish!" Mossa nodded and disappeared in the next instant.
At the same time, the originally noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. Of course, it wasn't that they had all shut up, but rather that a wall of air suddenly descended, isolating the noise from the outside!
Now the people outside were naturally even more ferocious, after all they couldn't touch it themselves, so they could only make a mess of it.
However, they only made a fuss for a couple of sounds before stopping their actions. After all, making a fuss in other areas, they would not be sanctioned because of the large number of people, but in this area, the lord who had once shown a god-like power had ways to fix them.
Then they saw a mage project the situation inside directly, which was actually what Zhou Ren had ordered, this was the right thing to do, if he didn't appease the people outside, I'm afraid they would really turn the world upside down, it was better to tell them what was going on inside so that they could also participate.
When the scene inside had already been revealed, the outside naturally did not let go, those guys who still wanted to take this opportunity, that is, taking advantage of the lord's kindness, and began to continue to make noise, were also severely and harshly warned.
Especially when some people wanted to make trouble, but the big screen directly hit him in the face, and then some malicious elven mages walked towards them, all of a sudden everyone was stable.
The elven mages cultivated in the territory may not have a particularly solid foundation, but they have a lot of treasures, after all, as residents of the territory, they can buy many things in the territory at very cheap prices.
Moreover, their work itself also provides some special items for them to use, these things, a part will be provided every once in a while, they only need to complete their work, but the items have not been used up, it will also be defaulted as their own things.
Under such special circumstances in the territory, the enthusiasm of many people for their work has been mobilized, not only that, they also especially like to engage in various territorial operations.
After all, everyone has the kind of power that seems to be able to create the world, if you don't operate it well, but just put it there, everyone will probably feel a bit of a waste.
Different elves and dwarves have stirred up these things in their own way, they build their own construction capabilities in the lower realm, build their own houses in the forest, and also build one defensive point after another on the border, especially after the incident of orc invasion came, this kind of thing reached its peak.
After all, not everyone has the opportunity to come into contact with such a particularly interesting thing, so they also cherish it quite a bit, and even more because of this, many elves and dwarves have also cast some strange guards and defenses on the border, which looks even more unique.
It is precisely because of this that when encountering troublemakers, they always want to experiment a little to see if the items they have made are effective, so they combine these troublemakers with various props, for example, there is the punishment of being hung in the air by a slime ball.
Of course, there are also tests that are completely swallowed up by some strange props, so it is said that these people will hardly have anything to do except for the most heinous people, but this kind of pain is not what other people want to experience.
Taking the words back, after the security team outside gradually took control of the situation, the internal auction naturally began in full swing.
The person in charge of the auction is naturally not Zhou Ren, he does not have any large-scale hosting experience, but a person who rarely speaks in the venue, but looks very prestigious, Geno, a human monk from the underground world!
"Welcome everyone to today's auction!" This bald monk knight seems to be unusually energetic, after seeing everyone come, not only is he not nervous, but he is very happy.
"With the items provided by the local lord and the financial support provided by the major races, the auction can be officially launched, so is everyone ready?"
As soon as he finished speaking, many people below had already raised their signs, unlike the ruthless characters in the private rooms who stood still, the group of merchants below were excited.
They may not be as rich as those big races, but this auction is not as stingy as the market, only releasing some pitiful ordinary plants or some limited items, the auction will sell those items that were sold before on a large scale.
This also gave them a chance, those high-level items are naturally in the pockets of the various races, but ordinary low-level items, they may not be unable to choose to take a gamble.
This also made the servants holding signs in their hands even more excited, this sign was also modified with a notice board, and the numbers can be directly modified on it to achieve the purpose of bidding.
And some skeletons will determine their bidding range according to the wealth reported by those who entered at the beginning, once it exceeds this range, that person will be directly invited out by the skeletons, so as not to disturb the market by different people.
It is precisely because of this that everyone cherishes their own opportunities, if they don't cherish it, there are many people outside who will help them cherish it.
After seeing the scene completely heat up, the chief auctioneer clapped his hands and had two tall elves walk up to present the first item of their auction.
"First of all, I want to explain that the auction will not accept the sale of illnesses from other races, nor will it auction other things, but all products come from within the territory!" he said.
This actually defines the auction, lest some strange people come to compete for the ownership of the territory, or to compete for full control of their auction. If they can manage this auction house and then put things from their territory that are worthless but renamed, the entire territory's reputation will be ruined.
Don't say it's impossible. Even in these few sales, many people in the market have been selling strange things in the name of their own territory, things that seem useless, but are always touted as miraculous.
Then they were caught by the market administrators and thrown into a nearby labor camp to do their work. Even the elves, who are close to Zhou Ren, actually have such scumbags whose eyes are already glued to money.
Because of this, the screening of the auction has become a top priority. In the end, Zhou Ren simply waved his hand and cut off the idea of other races wanting to use these auctions to sell their favorite things.
"Today's first auction item is a gift from the Lord, a special item that can never be found anywhere else, and something that many arid regions dream of!"
He had already raised the wooden hammer in his hand, and the two tall elves beside him took out the item from a box behind them. It was a square that looked ordinary, with stone brick patterns on the side.
The surface of this square was a pool of very clear spring water, indicating its identity. At least in a sense, this water is much more precious than water in reality.
The newest novels are all here!
"A special product from the territory, a well, a portable and even relocatable version. Just buy an iron pickaxe from the territory, and you can dig it up directly and take it to any place you want to stay!"
Geno said. This martial monk seemed completely different from the one in reality. In reality, he was taciturn and rarely communicated with his disciples.
But here, he was high-spirited and unrestrained, desperately promoting his ideas to the crowd, and doing things that he would never do at other times, especially when everyone in the crowd questioned the well.
For these people, what did a well matter? They had ways to get water if they wanted to drink, whether it was extracting it from the air or importing it from other places, which was more cost-effective than simply buying a well. Moreover, this well didn't have anything special about it, except that it could be moved at will. So what?
But if the auction in the territory only had this, how could it attract these people? In the crowd, after the noise gradually subsided, Geno forcefully lowered the wooden hammer in his hand, bringing the huge roar to everyone's ears.
"Don't worry, everyone. If it only had these functions, our territory would naturally not release it. Its true function is still hidden inside!" He seemed to want to keep a little secret about the well, and then a female elf next to him took out a huge basin, a full seven or eight cubic meters in size.
This basin appeared like this. In everyone's eyes, the auction house was actually shaped like a Roman Colosseum, so everyone could clearly see this scene.
Then the water from the well was directly scooped out with a bucket and poured into the basin. Even though the huge basin was filled with water, the well still didn't seem to dry up at all.
"Everyone may not see this very clearly, so we still have a better way to describe it!" The ground under his feet suddenly split open, revealing a huge and seemingly unfathomable hole below.
Then the two female elves carried the huge well beside them, and the surging water gushed out from the well, pouring into the unfathomable abyss below. The huge sound of flowing water seemed to allow everyone to hear and feel the increasingly obvious humidity in the air.
However, this performance didn't keep everyone waiting for long. In fact, this was just a small demonstration to make some guys who still had doubts in their hearts believe that their territory was not just a name.
So the huge hole actually allowed everyone to hear a very obvious sound of water flowing at this moment, which meant that the hole had already been filled with water. As expected, the water in the hole had begun to gradually surge upward, and then suddenly stopped when it approached the ground. The well had been put back down by the two elf maids.
Then the huge floor on the ground began to move again, completely covering the huge pit below. "The well with unlimited water flow is for sale, and the price is 5,000 wealth gold coins!"
Geno said, suddenly lowering the wooden hammer in his hand, seemingly announcing the arrival of a prosperous age in the territory to everyone.
"6000!" Just as his wooden hammer fell, someone below shouted. People couldn't help but turn their attention to the source of the sound. In this camp below, someone was actually able to shout out a high price of 6,000.
Then they found that the person who shouted was actually a sandman from a sparsely populated desert tribe. As a race in the desert, they themselves valued water very much, and at this time, he was even able to come into contact with the opportunity of unlimited water flow. How could he not be excited?
"Your experiments and investigations are not good enough. Why not prepare a special seat for a guy who can come up with such a large sum of money?" Zhou Ren said.
Those who spend money are God. God comes here to bid, but doesn't even deserve a seat?
Then he heard Mosa's explanation, "This is a race that mines in the desert. All their wealth comes almost entirely from the mineral resources in the desert, but they did not submit their proof of assets. They only submitted their financial information when they entered today, so we have no way to arrange corresponding boxes or seats for them!"
"Hiss… Why are there desert tycoons everywhere?" Zhou Ren complained.
