Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

Chapter 201 Psychological Tactics



"I have to say, compared with this young master, we're just running around aimlessly. We don't have any sense of participation at all, except a little in the first half."

Everyone's gazes were filled with envy. Although some of them wanted to ridicule him, they would deliberately lower their voices for fear of suffering upon being detected by Wu Mo.

Seeing this, the He family's representative, who had bid earlier, was also a little dumbfounded.

If Wu Mo could bid ¥7,000,000, his strength was definitely not what he had imagined, and there were more things to consider.

"Could this young man be a blacksmith? Otherwise, why would he be interested in such things?"

He Run found it strange. It was a piece of Epic equipment, which would normally cost around ¥5,000,000. They wanted to buy it at a premium because they hoped that they could repair it one day.

However, achieving such an outcome would undoubtedly require a lot of resources and connections.

Yet, the situation was unfolding in the complete opposite direction of what he had anticipated. The young man who had obtained the graphite powder was not done. He was also setting his sights on Epic equipment and offering a price that surprised him.

On the auction stage, Elder Yao Shan looked at the young man who had just bid with a meaningful gaze.

He felt that if there was a chance in the future, he could get to know him. At such a young age, the latter had amassed a shocking amount of wealth. It was truly a little unbelievable.

"Interesting. It seems like this trip to the auction wasn't in vain."

Right then, the young man sitting in the corner turned his head to look at Wu Mo, who was sitting diagonally behind him. His expression revealed a trace of joy and expectation.

He seemed to think it was a good thing that Wu Mo had offered a higher price than him.

"Hey, friend, let's see who gets the boots!" the young man shouted.

Then, he raised his hand and smiled. "I bid ¥7,400,000."

The Qin family's representative bid more than seven million, and things at the auction heated up to the point that it was as hot as white heat.

Currently, there were only three parties who were interested in the Amethyst Boots and who could afford to buy them.

They were the He family's patriarch, He Run, Wu Mo, and the grandfather and grandson pair from the Qin family.

Other than that, the rest of the people either did not have enough wealth or did not have the ability to repair the Amethyst Boots. They felt that the damaged equipment was not worth the price.

In short, one of those three forces would obtain the Epic boots.

That's right. In everyone's eyes, Wu Mo definitely represented a certain force since he could go head-to-head with the two great families. They just did not know which force yet.

"Seven million eight hundred thousand!

"You're courting death!" He Run's face was filled with anger, as though he felt that he was not standing out in a battle of this level. The prestige of his family was about to be destroyed by the Qin family and this young man who had come out of nowhere.

The current price indeed made the mysterious young man and the Qin family representative hesitate. Seeing their hesitant expressions, He Run snorted in disdain.

"You're not that great. If you can, then raise it to ¥10,000,000."

Most of He Run's provocations were directed at the Qin family, but they acted as a warning to Mu Mo at the same time.

He was implying that if Wu Mo was not capable enough, he should not be getting involved in this mess.

It was also a form of silent intimidation.

Witnessing the growing tension between the three, everyone watched the show to find out how this situation would end.

Wu Mo was somewhat helpless. He only wanted to participate in the auction and had no intention of getting involved in the grudges between the major blacksmith families.

He was not even interested in bidding during the first half of the auction.

If it were not for his project, he would not have needed to buy the graphite powder.

This time, however, it was because he felt that the Amethyst Boots' effects were excellent. He only wanted to buy them because of the price-performance ratio.

'Forget it, I won't explain.'

Wu Mo sighed internally and stopped thinking about the matter.

He planned to bid at the last moment. In any case, as long as it was within the bidding period, everyone could bid. He just had to name his price before the last half a minute.

Rather than increasing it bit by bit, it was better to be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

He had already made up his mind. If the price of the boots exceeded ¥10,000,000, he would immediately stop and not take further risks.

Soon after Wu Mo quieted down, only He Run and the Qin family's junior were left bidding.

As they entered the last one and a half minutes, the price passed the ¥9,000,000 mark.

It was the highest price that the two families could afford. They had been in the field of forging for decades, so they naturally knew the pros and cons.

Thus, when they got to this point, the range of everyone's bid went in increments of ¥10,000.

"Nine million and seventy thousand! Give me ten million if you have what it takes!"

The young man representing the Qin family was about to curse out loud.

If it was not for his grandfather, Qin Yue's, constant warning, he would have offered ¥10,000,000 for it.

He would no longer be bullied by this bird.

"Hehe... It's easy for you to say that. If you're capable, then come on. Nine million and eighty thousand!"

At this moment, He Run became calm and relaxed, allowing the young man to provoke him, but only retaliating with words.

He would completely crush his enemy psychologically.

By now, the mysterious but previously active young man had been silent for a few minutes. He could no longer keep up with the train.

"There's only one minute left until the auction for this item ends. Are they going to keep adding ¥10,000 each time?"

Seeing that the auction for the Amethyst Boots was about to end, the crowd immediately made their guesses.

Needless to say, it was a war of attrition. In any case, the total price could not exceed ¥9,500,000.

"I really don't understand how an Epic piece of equipment could be sold for such a high price. Isn't it supposed to be worth around ¥5,000,000?"

"What do you know about forging? These boots were originally Legendary-grade equipment, but they were severely damaged. It only dropped to Epic grade after it lost more than half of its energy. Despite that, it's still stronger than equipment of the same grade."

During their discussion, the countdown device on the stage had reached the last 50 seconds.

The latest price was ¥9,430,000.

"Nine million five hundred thousand!"

Seeing that time was almost up, He Run gritted his teeth and shouted angrily with a red face.

He slammed the table, and an invisible force spread out rapidly, messing up the hair of those around him.

It was obvious that he had used his true spirit energy.

On the other side, the Qin family's young representative immediately looked at his grandfather, Qin Yue.

"No more."

The latter shook his head slightly, a little disappointed.

In his opinion, those boots were indeed excellent. Even if he bought them without repairing them, they could be an extra layer of protection for his grandson to wear. However, the current price was no longer suitable for purchase. If he were to raise the price again, it would likely affect the Qin family's cash flow.
