There is indeed a problem with my plug-in

Chapter 196 Auction
Seeing that Li Yi seemed a little puzzled by the phenomenon that "management management in different settlements has different management methods", Zhang Leli simply gave him a popular science about the relationship between different settlements of the human race.

Originally, the entire human race now adopts a city-state system similar to a federal system!

Each "city" and "big city" level settlement is relatively autonomous, but the smaller "town" or "village" level settlements are under the jurisdiction of the upper level "city" or "big city" .

Some "cities" and "big cities" that are relatively close to each other sometimes have a superior-subordinate relationship.

The "city" and "big city" were both nominally under the jurisdiction of the main city of the human race.

This gives Li Yi the feeling that the "city" level settlement is like a principality, the "big city" level settlement is like a kingdom, and the main human city is an empire!

Settlements of different levels are relatively independent, but they also have a certain relationship of affiliation!

It seems very "scientific and reasonable", but...

"To put it bluntly, this human race looks unified now, but it is actually a mess!"

Li Yi concluded simply and rudely!
But it’s not that he can’t understand this situation!

Just like a country, it is necessary to centralize power and integrate all places. This is required by objective conditions.

The most basic conditions are transportation and communication (strong cultural and military power are the prerequisites, so I won't discuss it here)!

If these two objective conditions are missing, unification will be a joke!
For example, the traffic is not good.

Then a disaster occurs somewhere, and the central government sends people to provide support, and it takes several months to go back and forth...

Those who know know that you are there to support, those who don't know think you are here to collect the corpse!
Another example is that the communication is not working.

After a decree from the central government, the local government will receive it a month later, and it will take another month to reply to the central government...

Do you think this is a licking dog chatting with a goddess? The goddess is still the green tea kind, and only occasionally replies to you?
The above situation is of course exaggerated, but the ancients said, "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away"!
In fact, that's what it means!
And according to what Li Yi has seen and heard these days, the communications and transportation in this era really cannot support a highly centralized human race federation!

It would be nice to be able to support the rule of city-level settlements!

There is no hostility between different cities and no wars. This is already thanks to the existence of other races on the mainland!

Li Yi still doesn't understand the character of the human race?

"However, the mastermind must be playing tricks behind this!"

Li Yi thought with an expression of "I have already seen through the truth"!

……

Chatting, the destination has arrived!
Under the guidance of the staff, Li Yi walked into the venue of the auction.

Li Yi took a casual look and found that the venue this time was actually an auction house!

There is really nothing wrong with holding an auction in the auction house!

……

The number of people attending this underground auction was about two hundred.

The structure of the venue is similar to that of a general concert hall. In front is a stage or booth, where the host and auction items appear.

Then, those who participated in the auction sat in a fan shape like an audience at the bottom of the booth. People with smaller numbers sat in the front, and those with numbers less than [-] sat directly in the boxes on the second floor.

The numbers of Li Yi and Zhang Leli are basically sitting in the last row of the venue.

But neither of them came to buy things, so naturally they didn't care about it.

After sitting down, Zhang Leli gestured a "three" gesture to Li Yi, which meant that there were three legendary stages in the venue.

Li Yi shrugged and said casually, after all, they didn't come to make trouble.

……

Li Yi and Zhang Leli came relatively late, and the venue was almost full by then.

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a black tuxedo walked to the center of the booth.

He also wore a mask on his face, but there was no number on the mask. It seemed that he was the host of this auction.

Sure enough, he is the host of this auction.

After some well-regulated but humorous words, he announced the official start of the auction!
In fact, underground auctions are no different from ordinary auctions. It is nothing more than displaying auction items, and then the host promotes them. Those who are interested will raise their placards to bid.

The only thing that caught Li Yi's attention was that after the bidding was successful, the organizer of the auction only acted as an intermediary, and the buyers and sellers actually went to the backstage to conduct direct transactions.

In other words, the auction organizer actually just provides a trading platform and then draws commissions.

However, considering that there are sometimes dirty items, contraband and the like in the auction items, it is understandable that the somewhat official auction organizer has a "hands-off" approach!

……

Probably because Lujian City is relatively small, many participants are more familiar with themselves, or it may be that the products that appear are relatively ordinary, so most of the auction went on, and Li Yi still didn't see that kind of particularly exciting fight for the rich!
But it's no wonder, after all, the products that have appeared so far are really not very good!
What kind of mechanism doll produced by goblins, what kind of potion made by the potion master that can temporarily strengthen certain parts, what kind of antique handed down from thousands of years ago...

In Li Yi's view, they are basically rubbish!
The only auction item that caused a small-scale scramble, and the only one that Li Yi took a second look at, was a piece of legendary purple-quality soft armor.

But it's still a piece of dirt, the kind that might be hot to hold!
Originally, Li Yi was a little interested in the legendary equipment, but when he found out that it was a defensive equipment, he immediately lost his mind.

After all, in terms of defensive equipment, it is really hard to compare with the "Jue Ying" on him!

Although the initial defense of "Jueying" is only equivalent to the silver level, don't forget that the bio-nano protective suit can absorb the energy released by the owner to evolve!
Although the speed of evolution is very slow, Li Yi slept long enough!

In addition, Li Yi has nine different energies at the same time, and there will be no shortage of energy needed for the evolution of "Jueying"!

Therefore, after quietly evolving for thousands of years, the attributes of "Jueying" are now:

[Jueying (biological nano-protective clothing)]: Sanctuary-level defensive equipment!Attacks below the sanctuary will not break the defense, attacks at or above the sanctuary will be weakened by 30%-50%.

It is not completely damaged and can be repaired by itself.

It can absorb the energy released by the master to evolve!

……

Compared with "Jueying", what kind of legendary soft armor can only be regarded as useful garbage!
And just such a piece of soft armor was actually sold at a price of [-] gold coins!
So it's not surprising that Li Yi felt sleepy the more he watched this auction.

As the first person who proposed to participate in this auction, Zhang Leli was also not very interested.

Apparently the thing that attracted him to this auction hadn't appeared so far!
　In order to take care of the more simple readers, here is an explanation of why the protagonist thinks it is the mastermind and does not want to see a unified human race.

　　Because division and turmoil are more likely to produce heroes and powerhouses!
　　This is also one of the reasons why there were so many heroes in the Three Kingdoms period in history!
