Chapter 290 Bought as a gift
"Isn't it made of thunder nickel steel? Brother Lin Fan, how can you tell the difference?" Murong Shan asked curiously.
She also had a long sword made of thunder nickel steel by Mr. Weng, but she didn't notice any difference.
Murong Xue also looked at Lin Fan with some curiosity. Apparently, like Murong Shan, she didn't know how to tell the difference.
But Li Zihan didn't understand what they were talking about, because she had never been exposed to things like thunder nickel steel before.
But judging from the topics they discussed, she could understand that thunder nickel steel should be a special material for making weapons, and this material seemed to be very good.
"It's very simple to tell the difference, just look at whether it has a reflective effect."
Lin Fan explained: "The weapons that Mr. Weng made for us out of thunder nickel steel will have a more or less reflective effect under the sunlight. , you should have noticed this." "
As for the sword held by the deputy gang leader, I looked carefully and saw no reflection at all, so I was sure that the sword was not made of thunder nickel steel. "Yes."
Hearing what Lin Fan said, Murong Shan nodded in realization and said: "Yes, yes, I remembered that the weapons Mr. Weng built for us will indeed reflect when illuminated by the sun."
"Well, I have some impressions." Murong Xue nodded.
"Brother Lin Fan, is the sword in his hand more powerful or the weapon Mr. Weng made for us?" Murong Shan suddenly became curious about this question.
Lin Fan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. After all, from the way he thrust the sword into the ground just now, we can also see that the sword is indeed very sharp and strong. It would be really bad if we don't fight in actual combat. Determine who is strong and who is weak."
In fact, Lin Fan still preferred the weapons that Mr. Weng built for them.
Of course, this is just an intuition and there is no direct evidence.
On the auction stage, Tian Xiaobing seemed to be smiling as he listened to the heated discussion. He was very satisfied with the reaction.
"Everyone, the starting price of this sword is still one tube of mutagen. Each increase in price must not be less than one tube. Friends who want to get this sword can start bidding." Tian Xiaobing announced.
Another starting price for a tube of mutagen.
Same routine.
But as long as it works, it doesn’t matter if it’s a trick or not, as long as someone takes the bait.
Soon some people began to raise prices. They all lacked sharp and strong close-quarter weapons. With that sword, this problem would be perfectly solved.
If Lin Fan and the others didn't have the weapons crafted by Mr. Weng, then Lin Fan might also participate in the bidding.
It's a pity that with the weapons made by Mr. Weng, he can no longer look down on other weapons.
Weng Lao's superpower is related to forging. When the superpower level increases, the forged weapons will only get better and better. There is no need for weapons forged by others.
After a while, the price of this sword was shouted to five tubes of mutagenic factor.
"Six tubes."
Suddenly, another voice came.
This surprised the four of them, Lin Fan, and they all looked towards the source of the sound.
Because the person raising the price this time was none other than that guy Fang Zhou.
"He actually participated in the bidding." Murong Shan muttered.
"Maybe he doesn't have a close-quarters weapon and wants to get a better close-quarters weapon to take with him!" Murong Xue said.
Lin Fan didn't think so. He felt that Fang Zhou's participation in the bidding for the sword was probably not to use it for himself, but to give it to Li Zihan as a gift.
However, this is just his guess. Only Fang Zhou himself knows what Fang Zhou thinks specifically.
"Is that person who bids the price a member of the Fang family?"
"Yes, he is a member of the Fang family. He seems to be the young master of the Fang family!" "
I'll go and accept it. A family as big as the Fang family wants to bid with us. How can we pass the bidding on this sword?"
"That's right, we can't compare with the Fang family's abundant resources. Forget it, let's not bid." "Well, that makes
sense. If we continue to bid, not only will we not be able to bid, but it will It's not worth it to offend the Fang family."
"Yes, if the Fang family has a grudge and remembers us, they might target us in the future."
Everyone looked towards Fang Zhou, and after recognizing him, they He shook his head and gave up the idea of continuing the bidding.
They all know that the Fang family is a large family in Zhonghai Province, and the resources in the family are not comparable to theirs.
Although the sword was very good, offending a behemoth like the Fang family for a sword was obviously not a rational decision.
After thinking about it, everyone gave up and no one continued to bid.
However, another voice soon spread.
"Seven tubes."
This voice didn't need to be guessed to be called by someone arranged by the Qinglong Gang.
Fang Zhou knew it well and shouted with a smile: "Ba Guan, this is the highest price I can offer. If this friend continues to increase the price, then I have no choice but to give up." He said this
clearly The meaning is to tell the other party that you can continue to increase the price, but if you continue to increase the price, then I will not increase it.
The intention of the Qinglong Gang is to auction things off at a suitable price, not to raise the price so that the things cannot be auctioned.
The price of eight tubes of mutagenic factors is actually not much different for this sword, so there is no need to continue to increase the price.
Therefore, even if Fang Zhou doesn't emphasize it so much, the other party will not continue to raise it.
Tian Xiaobing followed the procedure and asked if anyone would continue to increase the price.
Facts have proved that no one added it.
"Okay, congratulations to this friend for obtaining this weapon for the price of eight tubes of mutagen. Please come to the stage to handle the transaction." Tian Xiaobing looked at Fang Zhou and said.
"Second uncle, third uncle, I'm going up."
Fang Zhou said to the two uncles sitting next to him, then immediately stood up and walked up to the auction table.
He took out eight tubes of mutagenic factors and handed them to Tian Xiaobing. Tian Xiaobing checked them and determined that there were no problems with the eight tubes of mutagenic factors, and then handed the sword to Fang Zhou.
When Fang Zhou got the sword, he secretly glanced towards Li Zihan.
Although he was watching secretly, he still did not escape Lin Fan's observation.
Now, Lin Fan was 100% sure that Fang Zhou's participation in the bidding for this sword was definitely to give it to Li Zihan.
However, this was in front of so many people, and the trade fair was not over yet. There was no way he could come over and give it to Li Zihan now. That would be too much of a limelight.
So, after taking a sneak look at Li Zihan, he got off the auction stage with his sword.
Uncle Fang looked at the sword carefully and said, "The price of eight tubes of mutagenic factors is about the same, but you don't want to use it yourself, but want to give it to that girl Li Zihan, right?"
Don't expose it at once, Fang Zhou couldn't help but blush slightly, coughed dryly, and said: "Second uncle, I can't hide anything from you."
