Chapter 310: Several Slaves at Auction
At the beginning of the game, Lu Chen did not attract much attention.
He is petite and looks out of place compared to his other powerful opponents.
But as the game progressed, people gradually discovered his uniqueness.
Although he is not as strong as the others, he has amazing speed and agility.
He deftly dodged his opponent's attacks and used his agility to launch counterattacks.
Every time he attacked, Lu Chen was like dancing with a sword, precise and deadly.
His movements were light and smooth, as if he was performing a gorgeous dance.
The audience began to look at him with admiration. They were surprised that this seemingly weak man could survive such a fierce battle.
When only the last two contestants were left, Lu Chen faced tremendous pressure.
His opponent was a large, muscular man who looked almost invincible.
But Lu Chen did not back down. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes revealing an unyielding will.
At the critical moment, Lu Chen launched a surprise attack. He flexibly sideways to avoid the opponent's powerful blow, then quickly approached the opponent and delivered a fierce kick.
This kick hit the strong man's vital point, causing him to lose balance and fall to the ground. Lu Chen took the opportunity to rush forward and ended the fight with the dagger in his hand.
The whole audience fell into silence, and then broke into thunderous cheers.
Jiang Yimo stood in the stands, her eyes fixed on Lu Chen, an indescribable emotion surging in her heart.
This thin man proved his worth with his own strength and made everyone look at him with admiration.
Jiang Yimo secretly remembered this man named Lu Chen in her heart, and she decided to buy him at the auction later.
At this time, the second group of slaves began fighting on the ring.
The rules of the competition are the same as the first group. First, a tall, strong and powerful champion is selected, and then nine slaves are released to fight fiercely with the champion.
Eventually, only the survivors will remain on the scene and wait for the auction.
Today's slave fights consisted of ten fierce bouts, each of which produced a winner.
These ten survivors will have the opportunity to decide their own fate through self-auction. Whether they can meet a good owner who treats them well depends entirely on their luck.
Jiang Yimo had witnessed several brutal fights between slaves. As time went by, her heart gradually became cold-blooded and hard-hearted.
In the end, she was even able to watch all ten fierce and bloody fights without any expression on her face, just like everyone else, and stayed until the slave auction.
The first slave to be pulled out for auction was the winner of the first gladiatorial contest - Lu Chen.
At this moment, Lu Chen was once again roughly pushed to the center of the ring.
The steward in charge of the auction stood aside and loudly announced his starting price: "Ten taels of silver!"
This price caused a commotion and whispers among the audience.
When the people below the stage heard the starting price, some started shouting out prices.
"Twelve taels of silver!"
"Fifteen taels of silver!"
……
"Fifty taels of silver!"
As soon as this sound was uttered, it was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves.
Everyone was shocked and looked towards the direction where the sound came from. However, despite their surprise, no one made another bid.
It seemed that the fifty taels of silver had become an insurmountable peak.
As time passed, the crowd fell into silence.
The buyer who shouted out fifty taels of silver had a smug look on his face, as if he was sure of winning.
Others looked regretful and secretly sighed that they had not seized the opportunity.
Just like that, after the fifty taels of silver were shouted out for a while, no one raised the price anymore.
Therefore, the manager in charge of the auction decided to seize this rare opportunity.
He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Fifty taels of silver once! Fifty taels of silver twice! Fifty taels of silver three times! Done..." Deal.
Jiang Yimo didn't wait for the butler to drop the hammer, and suddenly shouted out the price: "Fifty-five taels of silver!"
After he finished speaking, everyone present looked towards Jiang Yimo.
Everyone looked at her as if she were a fool. Perhaps in their eyes, spending fifty-five taels of silver to buy a slave was too ridiculous.
However, how could these people understand that what Jiang Yimo really values is not money, but the person in front of her named Lu Chen.
At this moment, when Jiang Yimo shouted out fifty-five taels of silver, there was indeed no one who wanted to compete with her for the slave.
The manager stood on the stage and shouted loudly three times, but no one was willing to offer a higher price.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Yimo and the slave, as if they wanted to see which fool would raise the price next...
This time, no one really bid a higher price. With the final hammer falling, this fierce bidding war finally came to an end.
Jiang Yimo took the photo of the slave named Lu Chen as she wished.
Then came the second and third slaves. These two slaves were too resentful and violent. Jiang Yimo didn't want them, so she didn't bid a price once.
Later, Jiang Yimo bought three more slaves that she liked, and bought each of them for about fifty taels of silver. She was quite satisfied with the price.
She personally went to the slave auctioneer, paid the money, and asked the manager to remove the chains on the hands and feet of several slaves.
The auction house manager called her aside and kindly advised her, "My dear girl, these slaves are all very powerful characters! Their fighting power is quite high!"
"You only brought one of your men with you. I'm afraid that's not a good idea. Otherwise, it would be safer to lock them up with chains first, so that they can't take the opportunity to escape."
After hearing this, Jiang Yimo smiled slightly and said softly, "It's okay, just feel free to untie the chains on them."
"Besides, haven't you already fed them poison? I heard that these slaves must take the antidote before the poison takes effect every month, otherwise they will lose their lives."
"How about this, just sell me the recipe for the antidote, and I'll give you some extra money."
The manager never expected that this seemingly weak girl in front of him was so smart and knew about this matter.
"Yes, girl. In order to prevent the slaves in our auction house from escaping, we feed them a poison that will cause them to become sick every month. If they don't take the antidote on time every month, they will die from the poison. But I can't tell you the secret formula of this antidote, but we can sell you two bottles of the antidote they need to take every month."
The manager didn't want to lie to her.
