Chapter 2220: High Clouds Auction (5)
Shen Yanxiao nodded her head and no longer said anything about the topic, but she had made a decision in her heart. Before she left the guild, she would not let any alchemist there be treated like they had been today.
Gege Lu sat down in the last row of the auction house with a group of alchemists. The auction house was now full of dwarves. At the front of the house, a five-star humanoid machine was being auctioned.
Shen Yanxiao had seen only three five-star humanoid machines before, Momo One and Momo Two of the Momo Tribe, and another one was Gege Lu’s Lulu. Five-star humanoid machines were very rare; she did not expect to see the auction of five-star humanoid machines as soon as she arrived at the auction house.
However, the whole auction house was very quiet. The dwarves, who easily get excited, did not seem to have much interest in that five-star humanoid machine. Occasionally, there were only one or two dwarves bidding, the competition was not really very fierce.
Back then in the Pukos bazaar, Shen Yanxiao also went to the mechanical trading area, and she once saw the trading process of a two-star humanoid machine there. It was a fierce scene. Almost all the dwarves in the mechanical trading area were concentrated on the booth of the two-star humanoid machine. Had it not been for Shen Yanxiao agileness, she would not be able to squeeze in the crowd.
At that time, there were at least a dozen dwarves scrambling to buy the two-star humanoid machine. That scene was much more spectacular than this one before her right now.
That was just a two-star humanoid machine but it had brought about such a scene. So how come the five-star humanoid machine before her eyes was of no interest to anyone?
“The dwarves here don’t like humanoid machines?” Shen Yanxiao asked Pipi Ka with some doubts.
Pipika shook his head and said, “Five-star humanoid machines are really rare outside, but the dwarves at High Clouds Auction did not come here for this kind of thing. Though five-star humanoid machines are rare, the presidents of the five major Alchemist Guilds can make one; even the best alchemists of each guild can also do it. This kind of thing may be very precious to other dwarves, but it is very common to those dwarves who come to High Clouds Auction.”
“…” Shen Yanxiao blinked her eyes; she didn’t expect the five-star humanoid machines, which were cherished by the two vice-chiefs at Momo Tribe, to become so worthless at the auction.
Although the price was not low, among the dwarves who filled the whole venue, only a few were bidding, and it did seem a little lonely.
Finally, the humanoid machine was bought by a dwarf dressed in a gorgeous outfit. Pipi Ka took a look at the dwarf and whispered to Shen Yanxiao, “You see that fellow?”
“Yes.”
“He is the son of the Popo Tribe’s chieftain. There are several veins of rare metals near the residence of the Popo Tribe and they all became rich by selling rare metals. This man likes to collect humanoid machines on ordinary days. The president sold his several humanoid machines except Lulu to him before due to the difficulty of the guild.”
“He’s an alchemist?” Shen Yanxiao raised an eyebrow. The price of humanoid machines was not cheap at all. Such crazy purchases could not be underestimated.
“No, he’s not in good health and can’t be an alchemist. He just really likes humanoid machines, so as long as there are good ones for sale, he usually buys them. Although I don’t know why he bought so many of them, he has indirectly helped our guild before. Though it’s a bit odd, it’s not a bad thing, either.” Pipi Ka said.
