EBE Chapter 583 Auction (2) The Peak of Demonic Life
Chapter 583 Auction (2) The Peak of Demonic Life
Bai Hao has already begun to look forward to the auction items he has carefully prepared. Even a rotten shoe from thousands of years ago could be auctioned for a sky-high price of 180,000 gold coins. His gold, silver, pearls and jade are all top-notch in terms of freshness and the aura of the priests. At least 1.8 million gold coins should be worth it.
Bai Hao's gold, silver, pearls and jade were placed at the end as the finale. This auction was also promoted as the spoils of the devil, but now the real finale has been replaced by the blood-stained robe that Bai Hao prepared last night.
The demon nobles in the VIP stands and various boxes did not participate in the previous bidding, but those sitting in these places were the real wealthy people. Everyone's target was the gold, silver, pearls and jade prepared by Bai Hao. They had to retain sufficient funds for the final battle.
Many well-informed demon nobles knew that Chonglou had brought another priceless treasure. Some nobles had already made preparations to go bankrupt, and were constantly sending messages in search of an alliance, preparing to pool the strength of several families to participate in the auction.
Finally, it was time for the finale of the auction. As the auctioneer lifted the red silk cover, a light golden hairpin appeared under the spotlight. On the surface of the hairpin was engraved a strange mortal character, which was the word "Li". It was the headdress that Xing Lili had chosen for herself before going out.
Most of the accessories on Bai Hao's body are engraved with the word "Li", all of which were engraved by Xing Lili herself. Bai Hao himself has no particular pursuit for dressing up, and Xing Lili has always been in charge of it.
"This is the spoils of war that the honorable Lord Kenquil brought from the mortal world. It is said to be the headdress worn by the Holy Son of the Bright Moon Goddess Sect... Needless to say, you should all be able to feel the extremely rich mortal world aura on it, coming from the most devout believer of the Bright Moon Goddess. Those strands are sacred and intoxicating... Ah, my brain is even trembling..."
Even the extremely experienced auctioneer became a little out of control after feeling the hairpin that Bai Hao had worn up close. The demon nobles in the auction hall stretched their necks and cast all kinds of vision-enhancing magic to stare at the hairpin.
Just this first mortal object that Bai Hao sent was enough to completely attract the attention of most of the demon nobles who had remained silent before. They kept raising their bidding cards like crazy, and the atmosphere of the auction reached its peak today!
Bai Hao's hairpin was finally sold at a sky-high price of 1.43 million gold coins, which was almost the total price of all the previous auction items, and was enough to drain all the wealth of a top noble in the Magic City.
Is it really worth it? The answer is obviously yes, because the things of the mortal world can hardly be measured by money. The value of a mortal world thing lies in its ability to cultivate more high-level demons and make the family's strength stronger.
The demon world has always respected strength, which truly explains what it means that if you have strength you can do whatever you want, but if you don’t have strength you can’t do anything at all.
The reason why a prosperous family quickly declines is actually very simple. As long as the family's strongest combat force is killed or injured, it is equivalent to completely destroying the foundation of a family.
Chonglou's family is a typical example of this. The most powerful Demon Lords and Demon Kings in the family died or were injured one after another within a year or two. Even though Chonglou's parents were business geniuses, they could not prevent the family from declining.
Because without strength, nothing can be protected. Although the demon world also has laws, they are just means for the strong to restrict the weak. In the demon world where strength is supreme, being weak is the original sin and deserves to be killed.
Bai Hao once learned about some of the laws of the Magic City. After reading the whole thing, there were only two words in it - privilege!
If a magician kills another magician of the same level, he must pay with his life. However, if a demon messenger kills a magician, he only needs to pay money. And if a demon lord kills a magician, he doesn't have to do anything and just kill him.
Of course, if the murdered magician had someone behind him, that would be another matter. But if he was helpless and had to die, no one would seek justice for him. After all, it is ridiculous to talk about justice in the demon world.
Therefore, things in the mortal world that can help demons break through their classes are extremely valuable, and any amount of money is worth it. Anyway, as long as the family's strength increases, with more demon lords or even a demon king, it will naturally be able to make more money.
The blood-stained robe is a top-quality treasure for the demon world. It can greatly help the demons break through their classes and even has a certain effect on the demon king. It is definitely the most expensive item in this auction and the finale of the finale!
But Bai Hao only asked Chonglou to take out one item for auction, and keep the remaining three for now.
For the time being, we only rent it out and don’t sell it. We are doing hunger marketing!
As the future master of the Campbell family, Bai Hao's business acumen is no less than Cullennan's. If all the blood-stained robes are sold at once, the price will be much lower than expected. Those demon nobles are not stupid. They will definitely unite secretly to lower the bid.
So this time, Bai Hao asked Chonglou to only take out one blood-stained robe for auction. This was to tell the wealthy people in the Magic City that this was a limited edition and only one was being released in the Demon World. If you missed it, it would be gone. This created a sense of urgency.
In this way, those demon nobles would surely fight to the death and bid desperately, emptying out their entire fortunes. With just one auction, Bai Hao could make Chonglou a wealthy demon in the Magic City.
Next, he would wait quietly for a while, letting the demon nobles of the Magic City recover their health and accumulate money. Then he would take out a blood-stained robe with a stronger mortal world aura, hold another auction, and exploit the demon nobles of the Magic City to the maximum extent.
Bai Hao could even make a thousand or ten thousand blood-stained robes. After all, there were so many priests participating in the joint meeting of the three religions, so each person would only need one.
But doing so would not only devalue the bloodstained robe, it would also make other demon kings suspicious of Chonglou, which would ultimately be counterproductive.
After three days, Bai Hao had a certain understanding of the prices in the demon world. He believed that the pile of gold, silver, pearls and jade and a blood-stained robe would be enough to exchange for the operating funds of the Demon Hunting Bureau. When making money, one must know when to stop.
Some time passed, and Chonglou sat comfortably on a sofa made of real dragon leather, holding a high-level succubus in one hand, watching the auction below with a laziness on his face, watching the usually high-handed demon nobles bidding fiercely for the items brought to him.
This situation and this scene is truly the pinnacle of the devil’s life!
Not long ago, Chonglou was a poor little magician who went hungry for nine meals out of three days. He lived hard with his sister in a dilapidated manor and lived in fear all day long.
All these changes started when he discovered the dimensional door. Although he did not use the door to get rich, he gained an extremely reliable master.
Chonglou believed that he had a bright future following his master, and that the Demon Hunting Bureau would become the most powerful organization in the demon world in the future.
