So many people had come to attend the black market auction, as there were too many things they desired to obtain there.
However, very few people could truly acquire items from the black market auction. The reason was that the items were too precious, and thus their prices were also quite high.
Some items were things they could never obtain even if they hunted demonic beasts their entire lives. After waiting for a long time, Ye Ningze
finally arrived at the underground auction. Everyone's gaze was focused on the central stage.
A person wearing a dog-headed mask appeared on the stage. He spoke to everyone present in a low voice:
"Thank you all for coming to the underground auction. There will be surprises beyond your imagination here. I hope everyone can gain something here."
After the host finished speaking, the first auction item was brought onto the stage.
The first auction item was a scimitar with a rather unique shape. Judging from its material, it was definitely not an ordinary item.
Because its metallic luster was a faint silvery-white, making it resemble a cunning bright moon.
And because of this, the power possessed by this scimitar was also quite terrifying. It seemed that in front of this scimitar, there was nothing it could not cleave.
It was indeed a good item, but Ye Ningze had no interest in it.
The reason was simple: although this saber was incredibly sharp, it was of no use to Ye Ningze.
Because this saber could only cut through mid-high-level demonic beasts or early-stage high-level demonic beasts. Against anything higher, it would not be able to inflict effective damage.
Therefore, its help to Ye Ningze was not significant. Even if Ye Ningze were to choose a weapon, he would choose one of a higher caliber.
"This Moon Scimitar is forged from an extremely special alien material. As for what that material is, even we do not know. We only know it is extremely sharp, but apart from sharpness, it has no other special effects."
After the host finished speaking, many people present were moved. After all, if it had other functions, they might not be able to afford it.
"The starting bid is fifty million, and each bid must not be less than two million."
When the people present heard this, many of them expressed their interest.
Thus, they began to continuously raise the price of this weapon, time and time again.
Soon, the price of this weapon rose to seventy million, and after a while, it rose to one hundred million.
However, this price had not yet reached the weapon's reserve price. In the end, the price continued to rise until it reached two hundred million.
Just the first weapon required two hundred million. One must know that the villa Ye Ningze bought was only two hundred million.
So, one could imagine that the total value of this auction might reach fifty to sixty billion, or even more.
Moreover, such auctions were held six to seven times a month, which indicated the astonishing wealth controlled by the underground auction.
This wealth was simply unimaginable for ordinary people. Therefore, each auction held by this underground auction could bring them immense wealth.
And the later the auction items, the higher the prices, sometimes even exceeding their imagination.
The subsequent few auction items were like chicken ribs to Ye Ningze. Ye Ningze had no desire to acquire them.
It was not until Ye Ningze saw something that truly caught his eye that he finally prepared to make a move.
It was something like a sleeve dart, but what it shot out was not an arrow, but something like quicksand.
However, this quicksand was not ordinary quicksand, but a kind of blood-red sand.
This blood-red sand possessed extremely strong penetration. Moreover, once enough demonic beast blood was injected into this sand,
the power of this sand would become even greater. It was precisely because of this that as long as one kept spending money, this equipment could become even more formidable.
People were naturally unwilling to use such a weapon that, every time it was fired, felt like it was violently smashing into the enemy like time itself.
Therefore, the starting price for this weapon was set at three hundred and eighty million, and each bid must not be less than four million.
The price quickly broke through to six hundred million. Afterwards, the price rose like a roller coaster.
It even broke through to eight hundred million. People knew that this was a weapon like chicken ribs,
but they still kept bidding. If it were only like this, then Ye Ningze could still understand it as their persistence for good weapons.
But when the price once reached a state of being out of control, Ye Ningze knew that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Perhaps among the bidders, there were some who were only there to inflate the price.
Their methods were quite professional, knowing when to add a little money and when to stop in time.
Although Ye Ningze disdained their methods, he had to admit that their methods were quite effective, and they could gain a large amount of funds from this alone.
Moreover, this was inherently a compliant practice, just not a righteous one.
And in the apocalypse, the least valuable thing was righteousness. Ye Ningze was quite satisfied with the weapon on stage.
However, with the interference of these people, this weapon would become completely troublesome. Therefore, to obtain this weapon, the first thing to do was not to keep bidding against them.
Even though Ye Ningze's current strength was not weak, he would not choose to be such a sucker.
Therefore, how to profit from the chaos became what Ye Ningze should do at this moment.
Ye Ningze knew what he had to do, which was to play a psychological game with them.
Make them think that he would give up even if he had to pay an extra cent, but the prerequisite was that he had to completely conquer these guys in front of him.
So Ye Ningze simply raised the price to a point that made some of them despair.
"One billion three hundred million."
Increasing it by five hundred million at once, no matter who it was, would find Ye Ningze to be so crazy.
After all, auctions were not conducted this way. Some items required them to increase the price step by step.
And Ye Ningze's move was nothing more than telling everyone present that he was determined to have this item.
