Chapter 169: The Blue Star Adventurer Being Auctioned

After earning more than 10,000 gold coins, Mo Yu now had nearly 15,000 gold coins in his hand, and he finally had the confidence to shop in this black market.

After Anthony led him to visit several stalls and gave him a general understanding of the situation in the slave market, Mo Yu declined his enthusiastic guidance and wandered around on his own.

There are many types of slaves on the market, and their prices vary.

Healthy, young, and pretty female slaves were the most expensive.

Next are the various combat slaves and technical slaves, followed by the strong labor slaves, and finally the various old, weak, sick and disabled slaves.

As for the old, weak, sick and disabled, slave owners usually disposed of them by selling them in packages or giving them free gifts.

"My Lord, that girl just now is pretty good. How about we buy two and take them back?"

Salt kept looking back, obviously still thinking about the girl with deer horns he had just seen.

Mo Yu's face darkened, and he said, "One costs 3000 gold coins. Will you pay?"

"So expensive?" Salt smiled awkwardly. He was so busy looking at the person that he didn't bother to check the price.

"Otherwise why is this place called the black market?"

Mo Yu shook his head and continued to look for a suitable target among the slaves on the street.

He didn't have much gold coins on hand, and his goal was clear: mainly to purchase technical talents.

Combat slaves are placed second, as the territory does not lack much combat power now after all.

As for ordinary slaves, he was not very interested.

With the help of reconnaissance skills, Mo Yu can clearly see the general information of these slaves.

However, the possibility of finding a bargain is not very high.

Slave owners are all shrewd people. Before selling slaves, they have tried every possible way to dig out the value of slaves.

They knew exactly what skills and advantages their slaves possessed.

[Level 800 Winged Archer]: A ranged soldier with flying ability, priced at gold coins each.

[Second-level Demon Pirate]: Able to drive ships, good at surface combat, priced at 300 gold coins each.

[Level 500 White-headed Barbarian]: A highland soldier with cold resistance, priced at gold coins each.

……

Mo Yu scanned them one by one and soon found the target.

[Fire Giant Architect]: Masters intermediate construction skills and has the ability to build flaming catapults. Price: 4500 gold coins.

Hiss, it’s a bit expensive.

It is equivalent to more than 10 third-level soldiers, and the price is a bit too exaggerated.

However, this is just the price marked to the public, and there is still room for negotiation.

Just like in many stores, the price of an item is ten thousand, but it can be bargained down to one thousand.

"How much is this architect?" Mo Yu paused and looked at the ogre slave owner at the stall.

This dog-headed man with a shady face was scolding the slaves behind him. When he saw the business coming, a smile immediately broke out on his face.

"He, this is my treasure, it took a lot of manpower to catch it... I think you like it, I'll give it to you at cost price."

"Eliminate it?" Mo Yu asked tentatively.

The dog-headed man showed a hesitant look, but was secretly happy in his heart.

Hey, at first glance, it’s obvious that the lord player is a rich and powerful person, a fat sheep.

"This is a mid-level technical talent... Oh, I was going to enter the auction house, 4000 gold coins... That's fine!"

The dog-headed man showed a look of being disadvantaged.

Unexpectedly, Mo Yu's eyes widened, "Isn't it 450 after removing the zero? 4000? Forget it."

He left decisively.

Kobold: ...

This sudden change made him at a loss as to what to do, and his original words were also messed up.

But he still really wanted to make this deal.

This fire giant has a huge appetite and is very expensive to keep, so the kobolds had long thought of getting rid of it.

"Sir, sir, please stay. If you really want it, tell me a fair price. If you can afford it, I will sell it to you." The dog-headed man stopped Mo Yu.

"1000, that's all he's worth." Mo Yu lied with his eyes open.

"3000, it really can't be any less!"

"My lord, the fire giant has an enormous appetite, and the food it eats must be rich in fire elements. It is very expensive to raise it." Salt interrupted at the right time and pointed out the flaw of the fire giant.

In fact, Salt had already told Mo Yu about the relevant situation of the fire giant in advance, and now they are just coordinating.

"I was wondering, no wonder it can't be sold, turns out no one wants to buy it." Mo Yu showed an expression that said, "So that's what I see."

"We don't lack defense tower architects. We have several in our territory. I think we should just buy a few ordinary architects. Two or three hundred gold coins each, enough to buy a dozen."

"But this fire giant... Oh, if the price was a little cheaper..."

The two of them sang the same tune, and the kobold felt a chill in his heart, because it turned out that they both knew the fire giant's flaws.

It is for this reason that this fire giant is not easy to sell.

Moreover, the construction resources of the Fiery Catapult are not cheap. The Catapult is suitable for siege and its defensive function is relatively weak.

The dog-headed man was unwilling to lower the price, and finally managed to scare away two interested customers.

This makes the Fire Giant useless in his hands, and it is difficult to sell. If he keeps it in his hands, he will spend dozens of gold coins for one meal.

This is a money-eating beast.

"2000 gold coins, this is really my lowest price."

"No, that's not it. I think there's still room for decline." Mo Yu still maintained a distance of two or three meters from the stall, ready to leave if he disagreed.

"Then you want to increase it?"

"Okay, then 1001."

Kobold: ...

After several rounds of negotiation, Mo Yu finally bought the fire giant architect for 1500 gold coins, which was slightly lower than the price of an intermediate architect on the market.

The kobold felt relieved, as if a huge burden had been removed.

A smile also appeared on Mo Yu's face.

The price is not too bad, and the big appetite is not a problem. With such a large territory, it can support even a fire giant.

After taking the slave contract from the fire giant architect, a subtle connection emerged between the two parties.

This is something similar to the oath contract made by the jungle herders before, but it is more overbearing. The slave owner controls everything about the slave and can do whatever he wants with him.

After Mo Yu confirmed that the thing was correct, he put it into the space of the War Gate.

Declining the ogre's enthusiasm to continue selling goods, Mo Yu continued to stroll down.

It took him more than an hour to buy 35 more slaves, spending a total of 6900 gold coins.

Among them are talents from all walks of life, including chefs, magic scroll makers, blacksmiths, etc.

Most of these 35 people are low-level technical talents, and the average price is 200 gold coins each, which is not too expensive.

After buying a batch of slaves, Mo Yu had spent nearly half of the gold coins on hand.

Although he had his eyes on a team of human large shield soldiers, numbering about fifty people.

But the price was too expensive, 280 gold coins each, and there was no equipment, so he had to give up.

During the process of purchasing slaves, Mo Yu even saw the Earth Bear Man he had just sold also on display.

The price listed was 600 gold coins, and it sold very quickly.

This made Mo Yu realize that he might have sold at a loss.

But there is no way around it. Unless you stay in this place for a long time, it will be difficult to raise the price.

"It's worthy of being called a black market. It's really shady."

Mo Yu shook his head and took Salt out of the slave market.

He planned to go to the auction house to check out the few gold coins he had left.

Just now during the transaction, I heard a piece of news from the slave owner that there will be an auction of high-quality slaves today.

Although he didn't have much money, Mo Yu still wanted to take a look. Even if he didn't buy anything, it would be fine to just go and see the world.

By the way, let’s learn about the strange races in this world.

When Mo Yu arrived, the auction had already begun.

After paying an entrance fee of 200 gold coins, Mo Yu and Salt quickly entered the auction hall.

Because it was the cheapest seat, the two of them could only sit in an empty seat in the corner of the auction hall.

It just so happens that it fits Mo Yu's low-key idea.

He had good eyesight and could see what was happening on the auction table even from a distance.

The entire auction hall is a semi-fan-shaped structure, with the top of the fan being the auction table slightly above the ground.

Opposite the auction table are seats with increasing heights.

At this time, on the auction table, a beautiful fox girl with pointed ears and blonde hair was displaying the auction items on the booth.

"Now we have our third auction item, a young and beautiful female fox slave. Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't need to explain the wonderfulness of female fox slaves. I'm sure you have all heard of them, so I won't give any more introductions. The starting price is 2000 gold coins, and each bid must be no less than 500 gold coins. Now let's start bidding!"

Even though she was introducing a slave of the same race, the fox beauty looked very natural, as if she didn't care at all.

Amid its sweet voice, the auction craze soon arose.

"Three thousand gold coins!"

"Four thousand and five!"

……

The bidding sounds continued one after another, and finally, the beautiful fox girl was bought by a burly tiger man for eight thousand gold coins.

It was not satisfied with just buying the fox slave girl, and started to tease the beautiful fox girl on the stage.

In the corner, Mo Yu didn't pay attention to these.

He was thinking about another aspect. How wealthy was this tiger man to be able to buy a female slave for his enjoyment with 8000 gold coins?
I'm afraid that in this world of war, the territories are not completely balanced.

At best, it can only maintain relative fairness, but it is already the fifth era of conquest, and those races that survived before probably have some foundation.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu couldn't help feeling heavy in his heart.

The auction was still lively.

Among the next auction items, after the banshee slaves and elf slaves, military units and technical talents began to appear.

The Grayforge Dwarf High-level Blacksmith, the rare third-level Rune Swordsman Team... and even a fifth-level magician were all seen being put up for auction.

Mo Yu did not participate in any bidding, not because he did not want to, but simply because he did not have enough strength.

The price is easily tens of thousands, I can’t afford it, absolutely not.

But there were quite a lot of people present to bid.

This also made Mo Yu realize that the world is big and he is very small.

Round after round, it wasn't until the seventeenth item appeared that he was shocked.

Behind the black curtain that the fox beauty pulled down was a minotaur imprisoned in a cage.

But this minotaur was no ordinary soldier, he was actually an adventurer.

Mo Yu guessed that the other party was most likely captured by the slave team that broke into the territory and became a slave of the adventurer.

"This minotaur is an adventurer from the Conquest World... There are many lords from the Conquest World here, so they should know what this means. Whether you kill him to gain Conquest Points or bind him as a follower, it will be a good help. Lords who are interested, please hurry up."

"The starting price is 3000 gold coins, and each bid must be no less than 500 gold coins. Now let's start bidding!"

The price of 3000 gold coins is not high compared to an adventurer.

Therefore, there were many bidders.

Mo Yu looked around and saw at least seven or eight people.

There is no doubt that most of these people are lord players in the world of war.

In comparison, some of the people who were active before have become quiet.

Tauren adventurers are of great value to lord players in the world of conquest, but they are of little significance to other forces.

"4000 gold coins!"

"4500 gold coins!"

"6000 gold coins!"

As the price was quoted, a minotaur in armor in the front row stood up and glanced around. The warning in his eyes was self-evident.

This Tauren Lord player obviously wanted to rescue his own people.

But no one paid any attention to him.

What's the use of your threats in a place like the black market?

After leaving the black market, everyone scattered everywhere, and no one knew how far apart their territories were.

Even if there is hatred, what can we do?

Finally, after a fierce battle, the Tauren adventurer was bought by a sinister black-robed player at a high price of 8000 gold coins.

The other person's entire body was hidden in a black robe, like fog, and it was unknown what race he was.

The Minotaur Lord had red eyes and was breathing heavily. If he hadn't been concerned about the rules of the black market, he would have probably taken action on the spot.

He walked away and continued to stay there, fearing that he would go crazy and start hacking people.

The price of this round of auction for lord players is slightly lower than before.

After all, the lord players have only been in business for a few weeks, and the capital they have is not yet strong.

Then, several adventurers were auctioned off.

Suddenly, Mo Yu stood up.

Because what was being displayed on the stage were three humans imprisoned in cages, and they were humans from the Blue Planet just like him!

The investigation clearly showed that these three people were human adventurers from Blue Star.

For a moment, Mo Yu felt a mixture of emotions.

He had not felt anything when he saw the foreign slaves being auctioned before, but after seeing his own kind, he suddenly understood the emotions of the Minotaur Lord.

Although everyone on the Blue Planet is a stranger, Mo Yu felt very close to them at this moment.

"The starting price is 6000 gold coins, and each bid must be no less than 500 gold coins. Now let's start bidding!"

After the fox beauty finished speaking, the atmosphere became a little dull.

The reason is simple: these three human adventurers from Blue Star are too thin.

There was even one who was so frightened that he became incontinent, and the guard next to him was so angry that he whipped him hard.

Such a terrible performance was immediately classified as a goblin-like creature by the lord on the scene.

He is timid and cowardly, and even if he is bought, he will be a very incompetent follower.

After all, each lord has a limited number of followers, and it is impossible to train worthless subordinates.

After all, once a follower occupies a position, it is completely fixed. Even if the follower dies, the occupied position cannot be eliminated.

Therefore, the selection of followers is usually done with great caution.

As for slave control, the risk is very high because players are different from other creatures in the world of conquest.

Even if they were signed with a slave contract and allowed to go out to explore, they might be able to release the slave contract through some special means of conquering the world. If they were not allowed to go out, they would be useless if they stayed at home.

"6000 gold coins!"

Mo Yu, who had not made a bid, finally started to make an offer.

"6500 gold coins!"

But as soon as he made his offer, someone else followed suit.

Mo Yu's heart tightened and he thought to himself, this is bad.

"8000 gold coins!"

He decisively chose to go all in, using all the gold coins he had left to pay the highest price he could afford.

If the other party continues to bid, there is nothing you can do but give up.
