Weapon seller in the world of magic

When compared to Panzer, Iveco-LMV looks more stylish; it has more speed; it has more range; it houses more crew members; it has a remote-controlled weapon station like FLW, equipping a 20mm gun, which is able to shoot 360 degrees to as far as 1000 meters.

Unfortunately, it lacks proper armor and firepower for the price it was being sold for. Well, at the very least for these rulers who were looking for practical applications, this vehicle doesn’t hold much value. Hence, the reluctance to bid for the item.

The silence from everyone disappointed Mark, a little bit, but then again, he doesn’t have much expectation, to begin with. After all, even he thinks that the system is ridiculous to put such a huge price for the military vehicle that he plans on using for only traveling.

Mark’s greed to earn more money forced him to keep the bidding price and the bulk selling amount high.

He thought some foolishly rich customers will pay for it but no paddles were raised in the air.

Glancing at the pocket watch, Mark inwardly sighed and prepared himself to announce ”unsold”. However, it appears that his seven points of luck are still in action.

At the last second, one paddle raised just like with the machine pistol. But, this time, it belongs to someone Mark never expected it to be. Yuan Menzi bid for the item, making his cousin furrow her brows in displeasure.

Like Mark, Song Yue also thought that it will go unsold when she saw that no one raised the paddle. And now that there is one bidder, a smile bloomed across her face as she announced, ”100,000 gold coins- No.19. 105,000 anyone? Last call, 100000, once, twice, sold.”

”Congratulations, no. 19 on purchasing the rights to Iveco-LMV for the next six months.”

As the people around clapped for his win, Yuan Meili whispered in a sharp tone as if she was scolding, ”100 thousand gold coins for the rights and 250 thousand gold coins for the items. Do you even know what you have done? You have used 30% of treasury over those things.”

In response, Yuan Menzi abruptly turned his head and looked at her coldly, ”Yuan Meili, I’ll just say it once again. Don’t dare to question my actions.”

Yuan Meili flinched as she looked at his face. She couldn’t help but look down at the floor and cursed him inwardly, ”This damn bastard. He is bound to destroy our clan sooner or later if he stays as the clan head. I need to think of something to take him out. To make him an enemy of the Imperial family, I need to make him hurt Shang Jiao.

Hmm… that boy appears to be close with the princess. If something happens to him and that blame goes onto Yuan Menzi’s head, then, Shang Jiao will attack him and gets hurt in return as she was no match for him.

But, at the same time, Yuan Clan cannot make an enemy out of Lu Zhen. I need to be careful to make my move.”

While Yuan Meili was busy with her thoughts on bringing down her cousin, Song Yue announced the next item to be auctioned, making everyone alert.

”Now, it is time for the top 3rd item of this event. Panzerhaubitze 2000 or simply PzH 2000 is one of the most powerful modern weapons manufactured to date. I guess that all of you might have been aware of its abilities but let me give you a brief insight into the item.

Pzh 2000 is a type of self-propelled weapon called a howitzer. It is just like Panzer but is used to shoot targets from as far as 30 kilometers away.

For the ammunition part, you will need a 155mm caliber one called SMArt-155, a guided artillery shell that is powerful enough to take out everyone under 7-circle with ease.

Now, each vehicle costs 5000 gold coins, and each SMArt-155 costs just 100 gold coins. We are offering 50 such vehicles and 1000 SMArt-155 rockets in this auction.

Adding on top of that, there will be a 1-year of protection period. The minimum assured order in the next 12 months of time will be 500 such vehicles and 10000 rockets.

The starting bid is 1 million gold coins and each bid is raised by 100,000. You have 60 seconds to think. After that, we will proceed with the bidding.

Neither the clan leaders nor the wealthy merchants had the money to bid for the item. Even though Song Yue mentioned that they only need to pay 20% to book the contract and pay the remaining 80% within a week to finalize it, none of them was daring enough to step forward.

And in the end, just like how Mark wanted it to be, the bidding war between Shang Fu, Shen Niu, and Ouyang Zen started.

The 12-year-old kid might be against the weapons but even he couldn’t help but agree that PzH 2000 will surely improve his kingdom’s military might to a whole another level.

Of course, at the same time, he was also aware that a stable economy in the kingdom is more important be a military superpower. So, he limited his funds to 10-12 million for this.

Sometime later;

”4.6 million – No.3” ”4.7 million – No. 12” ”4.8 million – No.25”

.

.

”7.8 million – No.12” ”7.9 million – No.25” ”8 million – No.12” ”8.1 million – No.3”

.

.

.

”10.6 million – No.3” ”10.7 million – No.25” ”10.8 million – No.3” ”10.9 million – No.25”

.

.

.

”14.5 million – No.25” ”14.6 million – No.3”

”14.6 million, once, twice, sold.”

”Congratulations, No. 3 on purchasing the 12-months of rights of Pzh 2000.”

In the end, the howitzer fell into the hands of King Shen Niu for a price that shocked Mark to the core. What kind of amount is 14.6 million gold coins? With such an amount, he can even run his own kingdom.

Not to mention, there are two more products that needed to be auctioned.

By the end of the expo, how rich Mark is going to be? Will he become the richest individual in Vermilion Bird Continent? And what if he converts to credits? He could not only upgrade the Missile defense system again but he might be able to max all some of its stats. His fortune graph is sure going to have an exponential curve today.

Mark was trying his best to not show his excitement on the outside and kept a poker face while clenching his fists tightly and releasing them.

As for the clan leaders, some were envious of Mark, some were filled with admiration, and two guys appeared to be in regret.

One is Lin Wuying, who distanced himself and Lin Xue from the Genesis Weapon store because of the pressure from the Song Clan. Two is Song Chang, the new Patriarch of the Song Clan who didn’t attempt to smooth things with Mark after the imprisonment of Song Yun.

Now, both of them felt like they should do something to get into Mark’s good books.

Meanwhile, Song Yue didn’t appear to be that affected by the situation. She didn’t have an ounce of regret for her decision on rejecting the 2% share and only felt happy for her fiancé.

She then continued with auctioning the next item, showing great enthusiasm as usual, ”The top 2nd item of the event is Light combat aircraft – Yak 130 or you can call it LCA or Yak 130 for short.

As we cautioned on the board with details placed at the aircraft, you need to build at least a 600-meter long runway or a straight road made of asphalt and other things for it to fly safely into the sky or descend onto the earth without any complications.

If you don’t build them, Genesis Weapon Store is by no means responsible for any harm to either the pilot or the vehicle.

Each LCA is worth 50,000 gold coins and we are offering 20 of them in the event. Along with aircraft, there will be 100 R-73 missiles, 100 S-13 rockets, and 100 S-25 rockets.

The minimum assured order is 100 aircraft and 500 of each type of missile but the protection period is for only 5 months or 20 weeks.

Of course, the pilot training will also be provided for free, although only for one selected person.

The starting bid is the same as earlier, 1 million gold coins, and each bid is raised by 100,000.”

At table No. 3;

”Father, we have roughly 4 million left. I don’t think that we can win this bid.” Shen Ling whispered to King Shen Niu.

Before Shen Niu reacted, Prince Qin Yu said, ”Not an issue, King Shen. I still have more than 20 million in my inventory. We can still bid for it.”

Shen Ling never wanted the Western Moon kingdom to owe Kun Empire so her father doesn’t want to do something that the northern empires in the future.

It was why she rejected the idea of taking their help in acquiring the aircraft and forced her father to take a loan of 15 million from the bank. The other 5 million was taken from the treasury.

But, after coming here and witnessing the atmosphere in the auction hall, she realized that even those twenty million might not be enough to acquire the aircraft.

Hence, she changed the target to howitzers, which she can own it completely.

Now that she won it, she was more relaxed, knowing that she secured a weapon to protect her land from the enemies like the Church of Doom.

However, the crown prince of the Kun Empire doesn’t want to go back with just Panzers. He wants to acquire ten of those twenty aircraft.

The princess knew that. Hence, she decided not to eye any aircraft and purely bid for the sake of Qin Yu. This way, instead of her father owing to the Kun Empire, it would be the other way.

On the other hand, she would get the right to purchase them individually without spending a single gold coin.
