It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 560 Liu Zheng: What to do if you want them all

"I'll give you an Arken Gem!"

A dwarf wearing a "robed" with thick hair and a beard tied into braids shouted.

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"No, are you crazy?"

Even the penguin couldn't help but ask.

What is the Arken Gem? It is the most precious treasure of the dwarves and the uncrowned king of all gems.

All the treasures collected by an ancient red dragon in its lifetime might not be worth even one-tenth of the Arken gems.

Although the mermaid princess's first tears can be regarded as a treasure to some immortal species, it is still far inferior to the Arken Gem.

"I'm not crazy."

The dwarf took out a box from the cloth bag around his waist and opened it. The bright light immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The pure white light was brilliant but not dazzling, flowing in the air like milk.

The colorful lights surrounding the white light wrapped the Arken Gem in a bright scarf, making it look like a beautiful girl in a gorgeous dress.

Although, this girl is too petite.

"Xu~"

Looking at the gem in the box which was only as big as a little fingernail, everyone present booed.

Although the Arken gemstone on the size of a little fingernail is still priceless, the gap between the initial expectations is still too big.

"What are you talking about? Who said that the Arkenstone must be as big as a human head?"

The dwarf said plausibly.

"Besides, if I really bring that Arkenstone here, can anyone among you afford it in exchange?"

"Xu~"

What the dwarf said made sense, but it didn't affect the crowd who booed him again.

"Mr. Liu, do you need identification services?"

The projector asked.

"What identification service?"

"It's like this. If the auctioneer is not sure about the value of the item being auctioned, our auction house can appraise it on his behalf, but we will charge a certain appraisal fee."

The projector explained.

"how much is it?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Once in ten thousand."

The projector said.

“It’s really dark.”

He said sincerely.

He would go bankrupt before this auction was over.

"That's because you're useless, idiot human."

The plane tree took the opportunity to mock.

Of course, it's not entirely a personal attack.

Those who can attend this auction are either well-informed collectors themselves or are brought in.

Even if there were items that I didn't recognize, there would be no more than a dozen or so.

A cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars a night is just a drop in the bucket for these collectors.

Although Liu Zheng has a bug-level system, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It is a bit difficult for him to identify these extraordinary items by himself.

"Dear Sir David De Lego~"

Liu Zheng's eyes rolled and he drew out his voice.

"Twenty thousand per time."

The plane tree said without even raising his eyes.

"Tsk. Is there an all-inclusive package?"

he asked the projectionist.

"Yes, you can get a free appraisal service if you apply for a membership card."

The projector replied.

"how much is it?"

"one million."

"Tsk, it turns out that all businessmen are dishonest."

Liu Zheng said with gritted teeth.

I thought that after making two fortunes, I would have no shortage of money until the end of the dungeon, but I didn't expect that it would still not be enough.

"If Mr. Liu doesn't have enough money, I can still make up some."

The projector took the initiative to speak.

"No, no, I have a lot of money."

He had just accepted someone's commission and was still asking them to chip in money to get a membership card. He was not shameless enough to do that.

Liu Zheng took out one million and gave it to the projector with a distressed look on his face, and the projector put the one million into the box.

The banknotes disappeared, and a card made of pure gold appeared in the box.

"Well, I still have some conscience."

He picked up the membership card, weighed it, and said with satisfaction.

There are no other logos on the membership card, only a pattern of four penguins and a serial number.

Three penguins, ranked tall, medium and short in terms of height and thin, medium and fat in terms of body shape, stood in the front, posing as if they were taking off, smiling brightly.

The host Penguin stood at the back, holding his flippers and smiling wickedly and wildly.

"How about introducing yourself to me?"

Liu Zheng became interested.

"Okay. The one on the stage is our big boss, the leader of the Penguin Team, and his name is Captain. The tall and thin one is the second boss, the intellectual and technical person of the Penguin Team, and his name is Kavas. The one with a medium build is the third boss, the force and blasting person of the Penguin Team, and his name is Ding. Sorry, his name is Rick. The remaining one is the fourth boss, the cute person of the Penguin Team, and his name is Rookie."

The projector introduced them one by one.

"The blasting guy, then I think I should be able to get along well with you three bosses."

He said with a raised eyebrow.

"Uh, I suggest you don't, Mr. Liu."

The projector said.

"why?"

"Boss Rick's mental state is very unstable. He has been locked up in a mental hospital several times. I'm worried that he will eat you as soon as you meet him."

The projector said.

"The condition keeps recurring, sometimes getting better, sometimes getting worse?"

"No, it has always been bad. It is always rescued by the other three penguin bosses."

The projector said.

"6."

"Please wait a moment. The identification results are out."

The projector paused and began to speak.

"A miniature Arken gemstone can be used as an eternal light source when held. It can also provide a certain degree of amplification when using light magic. When necessary, the power inside the gemstone can be drawn to replenish magic power."

"At the same time, it can also be used as material to create other extraordinary items. If it is made by a dwarf craftsman, it can also obtain additional effects."

"In addition, for inorganic life, Arken Gem is a great tonic. It can enhance their essence and even directly evolve them."

"Inorganic? Stone calculation?"

Liu Zheng had a flash of inspiration.

“It should be counted.”

The projector replied.

"That's it~"

His mind was spinning.

The Wanshiwu said that the Stone Spirit Clan has a talent for finding mountain cores, and they are also local residents of the Shiwan Mountains.

With their help, it would be much easier to complete the commission from the Yorozuya.

“What if I’m willing to accept the bid?”

Liu Zheng asked.

"You can agree now, or you can wait. I personally recommend that you wait."

The projector said.

"Okay, wait a little longer then."

He respected the opinions of professionals, but at the same time he couldn't help but have some expectations.

An item that caught his eye came along so soon, there must be better ones later, right?

As Liu Zheng was looking forward to it, a collector participated in the auction.

"I'll give you one of my tails!"

A tiger with green, orange and brown patterns all over its body held up the sign.

"Wow, so cruel?"

He couldn't help but look at the tiger's tail, but found that its butt was blocked by the chair.

"This is a gecko. Its tail can regrow, just like a black goat kid."

The projector said.

"Although I haven't studied much, I still have some knowledge of biology."

Liu Zheng squinted and asked, "Isn't a gecko a reptile with a pointy head and puffy eyes?"

"Yes."

The projector nodded.

"Then you still say it's a gecko. Is it because its name is gecko?"

"Mr. Gecko's father is a gecko and his mother is a white tiger."

Geckos often live in corners such as walls and eaves of human residences and prey on mosquitoes. The ancients believed that their behavior was similar to "guarding the palace", so they were called "palace guards".

"Good boy, a small pump to inflate a big tire."

Liu Zheng had great respect for Gecko's father.

"It is also because it is mixed blood that it is difficult to have offspring."

"Yes, just like a mule."

He nodded.

Mules are the offspring of a donkey and a horse. Due to the abnormal number of chromosomes, they cannot undergo normal meiosis, resulting in reproductive isolation.

Of course, high degree of infertility does not mean complete infertility. Male mules are definitely unable to reproduce, but if female mules and male horses mate, there are occasional cases of conception, but the offspring are often defective.

"So is it a male or a female?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It should be a male one, right?"

The projector wasn't quite sure either.

It would be very easy for anyone who could attend this auction to change or conceal their gender.

"Forget it, male or female doesn't matter."

Anyway, regardless of whether the mermaid's first tears are useful to the gecko, it has already been auctioned.

"Help me identify it."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay. The gecko's tail, when implanted in the body, can absorb a fatal injury and increase the implantee's running speed to a level not exceeding that of the gecko itself within a short period of time."

The projector quickly gave the identification results.

"How fast can the gecko run?"

he asked.

"In the last Metropolitan Animal Track and Field Competition, Mr. Gecko won one-third of the gold medals."

The projector gave a reference answer.

"That's awesome."

There are many hidden talents in the metropolis. To be able to achieve this level in even a track and field competition with qualifiers, it shows how fast the gecko is.

"What should I do? I want this too."

Liu Zheng was in a dilemma.

Not to mention the effect of absorbing fatal damage, you can never have too many life-saving items.

The effect of increasing running speed in a short period of time is also very good. Maybe he can win another gold championship medal from Captain Dragonfly.

"Hehe, do you feel the charm of the auction?"

The plane tree saw through his thoughts.

"Feel."

Liu Zheng nodded repeatedly.

It was indeed a gathering of collectors, and every item that was picked out made his heart flutter.

"I'll write a letter of recommendation."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses and dressed like a scholar held up a sign.

"You can choose any university, as long as you can get an interview, you will be admitted."

he continued.

"Hey, this isn't considered an extraordinary item, right?"

Gecko questioned.

"The auction house doesn't stipulate that only extraordinary items can be auctioned."

The scholar said disapprovingly.

"Well, if you say so, I'll just put out a box of gems for auction. It's enough to buy more than a dozen letters of recommendation from you."

The dwarf sneered.

In terms of financial resources, these people who have been digging holes in mountains for years are no less than anyone else.

"Haha, a vulgar dwarf like you has no idea of ​​the value of my letter of recommendation."

The scholar said disdainfully.

"I think you don't know how hard my hammer is!"

The dwarf was so angry that his beard stood up. He reached directly for his waist, but found nothing.

"Guess why I allowed you to bring weapons into the auction. Rick, spit out this guy's hammer."

Captain Penguin said.

A penguin with a V-shaped head and eyes wiser than a husky jumped onto the table and spat out a short-handled hammer covered in saliva.

"hiss!"

Penguin Rick has appeared, and the collectors present all gasped.

This penguin, which has escaped from a mental hospital several times, is definitely the most dangerous animal in the metropolis, no doubt about it.

"Sha!"

Penguin Rick wagged his tongue at everyone present, drooling all over the table.

"Okay, Rick, keep your tongue away."

Captain Penguin ordered.

Penguin Rick immediately shut up and stood behind Captain Penguin.

"Did you hear what my brother said? If you keep quarreling, quarrel in its belly."

Captain Penguin threatened.

"Then what do you think of his case, Captain?"

asked the dwarf.

"Kawas, tell them."

Captain Penguin said.

"Yes, Captain. Ahem, your doubts are reasonable. According to the consistent principles of the auction, things as mundane as letters of recommendation are not eligible for bidding."

A tall penguin with a round head and clear eyes also jumped onto the table, then cleared his throat and said.

"Did you hear that?"

The dwarf looked at the scholar with pride.

"Hmph, then I'll change to this."

The scholar did not argue but took out a magnifying glass from his briefcase.

"What is this?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"A real magnifying glass. The size of the objects it shines on will be magnified. The lower the quality of the object, the higher the magnification. However, it may fail when used on extraordinary objects."

The projector said.

"Will this magnifying glass be damaged if it fails?"

"No, it will not affect subsequent use. You can keep trying."

The projector replied.

"That can."

His heart was moved again.

This effect of enlarging the volume may not sound like a big deal, but it actually has very high practical value.

For example, if the miniature Arkenstone that the dwarf took out doubled in size, its value would more than increase tenfold.

For example, if the Epoch Acorn becomes the size of a fist, after eating it, Sycamore would probably go from being a street fighter to a district fighter.

"It's almost time, are there any more people who want to bid?"

Captain Penguin asked loudly.

The collectors present had different expressions and no one raised their placards again.

"Okay then. Does the seller have any interest in these three competing items?"

Captain Penguin asked again.

"If you have no intention, the host will announce that the auction has failed. If you are interested, it will enter the final stage. But if you express no intention after entering the final stage, you will be charged an additional service fee of 100,000 yuan."

The projector reminded.

"I see. I have the intention."

Liu Zheng nodded.

Any of these three items would be much more useful to him than the mermaid's first tears.

"Ok."

After the projector confirmed it, he notified the venue.

"Okay, the seller is interested. After the countdown of three, this round will be closed and we will move on to the next stage."

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"
