CHAPTER 524: AUCTION ( 3 )

Since she had paid for the materials, it would be a waste to throw them away, so she stored them in her warehouse. If not for what happened, she would never have thought of selling these bad products.

When she was done, Du Beiye took out a low stool and a book from her inventory. She thought that it would take a long time for her to sell these weapons. Unexpectedly, just after she opened her book, a couple walked over.

The man pointed at a pair of soft swords and asked, "Comrade, can these swords be used in actual combat?"

Hearing this question, Du Beiye nodded and replied, "These swords were made with special materials."

"Not only was the sword soft and flexible, it also had good durability. The materials are sturdy and won’t easily break. As for the sharpness, it can cut a strand of hair in half without a problem."

The moment they heard this, the couple exchanged surprised gazes. If what she said was true, then this pair of swords were rare items. It should be the legendary customized weapons the base sold.

After all, everyone knew that a soft sword was only good for a modern wushu competition and was unsuitable for real combat.

Thinking that the couple didn’t believe her words, Du Beiye stood up and said, "I can test it out for you."

Without waiting for their replies, she reached out and unsheathed a sword with a similar design to a Tang Blade. With a sharp, clean high-pitched sound, the blade glistened under the sunset.

This time, everyone was attracted by the quality of the sword and came over to watch the commotion.

Du Beiye took out a piece of silver rock from her warehouse and placed it on the table. Pointing at the rock, she said, "This is the strongest material on Earth, tungsten."

As soon as she finished her words, she swung the sword, and with a loud sound, the sword cut off a piece of the metal as easily as cutting mud.

Everyone gasped sharply when they saw this.

Du Beiye placed the sword on the table and picked up the soft sword. This time, her movement was faster, and before everyone could react, the sword had already cut through the metal.

Thud!

As she sheathed the soft sword, the metal was cut in half. She met the couple’s surprised gaze and asked, "Can I borrow a strand of your hair?"

The girl quickly nodded, pulled a strand of her hair, and handed it to her. Under everyone’s gaze, Du Beiye let go of the hair, and the moment it touched the blade, the hair was split in half.

This time, one of the onlookers couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, "Shit! This soft sword is not only strong and durable, it can even cut a hair in half!"

When she was done demonstrating her products, Du Beiye stored the metals into her warehouse and sat on her low stool. Picking up her book, she said, "Now that you already see the quality of my goods, do you want to buy the soft swords?"

The couple was pulled out of their thoughts by her words. Fearing that they would miss the opportunity to get their hands on these customized weapons, the man quickly asked, "Comrade, how do you want to sell the weapons?"

Du Beiye was planning to clear her warehouse and sell the sword for five hundred points each. But when she saw that a lot of people were interested in her goods, she changed her mind.

After a moment of silence, she said, "The weapons will go to the highest bidder."

As soon as she said this, everyone was in an uproar. It was the first time that someone was willing to sell such a great weapon. So, even if the price was high, they were determined to buy it.

"Comrade, I’m willing to pay five thousand points for the Tang Blade," one of the onlookers suddenly said.

The next moment, a woman said, "Comrade, I’m willing to pay five hundred crystal cores for the Tang Blade."

Compared to the points, crystal cores were better in value as they were a universally acknowledged currency everywhere. What’s more, the price she offered was double the price the man offered.

Following the woman, several people started bidding for the Tang Blade. In less than ten minutes, the price had already reached twelve thousand crystal cores and ended up being bought by a middle-aged man.

The man took out a small bag and said, "Inside this bag, there are one level-four crystal core, six level-three crystal cores, one hundred fifty level-two crystal cores, and two thousand eight hundred level-one crystal cores."

"Scanning complete. Host, the number is correct."

According to the exchange rate of the crystal cores, the number was indeed correct. With Krayan counting the crystal cores for her, Du Beiye didn’t have to count and said, "The sword is yours."

The middle-aged man grinned widely as he walked away with the sword. He had planned to buy customized weapons from the base, but the base stopped selling the weapons until the next two years.

So, the moment he encountered such a good weapon, he was willing to spend almost all of his money. With a good weapon, he would be able to kill more zombies and earn back the money spent tonight.

With one sword being sold, everyone became restless. The news of someone selling customized weapons in the marketplace spread to the entire base in less than two hours.

As more people joined the auction, the price skyrocketed together with Du Beiye’s good mood. When the last weapon was sold, everyone finally left.

Checking her watch, she realized that it was already ten o’clock in the evening. After she packed up her stall, she noticed the couple was still there. The woman was crying while the man was coaxing her.

"Alright, don’t cry. The price is too high, we can’t afford it. Let’s find another weapon tomorrow, okay?"
