Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

Chapter 197 The Three Great Blacksmith Families

"That's right, even if we're talking about Treasure Trove Pavilion, it's impossible for them to not make money. In any case, it's not appropriate to sell it to anyone, so they might as well put it directly in an auction and let the major blacksmith families compete for it."

The two of them deliberately lowered their voices, and with the constant noise from the auction, only a few people nearby could hear them clearly.

It was not until this moment that Wu Mo was enlightened.

It turned out that he could not buy the graphite powder because he was unlucky. He had the same goal as the other big families.

"That's a little unfortunate."

Wu Mo changed his sitting position as his eyes glinted constantly.

He tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair, contemplating whether he should look for other materials to replace the graphite powder.

After all, the families in the capital all had organizations with several hundred million in assets. It did not matter even if they made a move individually because their financial resources were extraordinary.

Meanwhile, Wu Mo was just a graduate student. The tenth elder and Guangli Trading Company's boss had given him a bonus when he left Treasure Pavilion, and he now had nearly ¥30,000,000 on his bank card.

Despite that, the market price of a portion of graphite powder was ¥1,300,000. If the price was too high, he would not be willing to spend a few extra million yuan on it.

After all, the development of new cold weapons was approved by the military and the Research Department. Wu Mo did not want to fork out his own money.

Since he was in a difficult position, how should he deal with it later? To be honest, Wu Mo did not have any other way.

All he could do now was to wait for the appearance of the graphite powder and see how high the price would be.

In that case, Wu Mo would choose to solve the problem using other methods. The graphite powder had excellent energy conduction properties, and it would play a relatively good role in making equipment above the Epic stage or repairing Legendary equipment.

However, in nature, there were a few materials that could replace graphite powder. Some of them could even achieve better results in certain situations.

If graphite powder truly did not work, he would ask for the system to re-list the materials. With the amount of information stored in the system, it would definitely be able to come up with other solutions.

Right then, the items in the auction house were constantly changing, and there were several pieces of equipment and materials of good quality on display.

However, Wu Mo was not interested in any of them. He only had one thing on his mind: He needed to quickly complete the dagger project so that he could qualify for the blacksmith's Annual Exchange Conference held by the country at the end of the year.

The auction was supposed to last for two and a half hours, and more than half of that time had passed.

More than 30 products had been displayed before the public. That aside, the subsequent materials were becoming increasingly rare and precious.

The final treasures of this auction would definitely give most people an unexpected surprise.

As such, even if there were people in the audience who were not interested in some of the goods, they still waited quietly, just to see the treasure that was going to appear on the last display stand.

Wu Mo guessed in his heart that the last item in the box could very well be a piece of Legendary equipment, or it could also be an extremely rare material in nature, such as the Core Nectar that the young man had mentioned earlier.

It was an extremely rare natural product that could only be found in the depths of the earth's core.

Once all the conditions were met and after decades of brewing, would the karst cave in the depths of the earth's core produce this serum?

Besides the energy contained in the serum was even more powerful than the Legendary Essence.

In any case, based on Wu Mo's speculation, the graphite ink powder would definitely not be displayed as the last item.

Although there were many families who wanted to buy it, it was not even as precious as the Legendary Essence. It could only be one of the last ten items in the auction.

The crowd's discussion continued.

As the items were presented one by one, most of the people had already participated in the bidding.

Some of them had confident smiles on their faces.

Some became hysterical as their faces turned red, while others were indignant and felt that it was a pity that they had missed the treasure.

During the first 30-odd types of exhibits, a few major families would occasionally bid, but the leaders of some financial groups would frequently offer higher prices for some rare materials.

Wu Mo had already seen many treasures among the more than 30 items on display.

Yet, he never made a move. Instead, he waited quietly for grapgite powder to arrive.

It was not until the last 10 items were up for auction that he finally saw the black powder in the transparent box as he had wished!

The black powder was the graphite powder, an excellent energy-conducting material in nature.

The market price was 100 grams per serving, and the price fluctuated around one million. If he encountered a chamber of commerce that had been sealed for a long time and could not sell it, he could buy it at a low price of more than nine hundred thousand.

However, such an opportunity was hard to come by. Under normal circumstances, it would be more cost a million.

Neverhteless, Wu Mo knew that it wasn't very reliable to buy the graphite powder for millions of dollars under such circumstances.

He gad thought that it would be difficult to raise the price of such an item, but Elder Yao Shan's starting price had already exceeded his expectations.

"The 40th auction item is the graphite powder. It is used to transmit energy to equipment at the Epic grade and above. It is an extremely rare medium in nature, and Treasure Trove Pavilion only has one in stock. If we miss it, we won't be able to obtain another one for the next few months."

Elder Yao Shan lifted up the 100 grams of graphite powder in the glass bottle for everyone to watch carefully.

Each of the graphite powder particles was about 0.5 centimeters in size. Even if it weighed 100 grams, it was only the size of half a fist.

Many blacksmiths had never even heard of this thing. Without enough experience, they probably wouldn't even know how to use it.

"Auction item, graphite powder. The starting price is ¥1,450,000 million. auction time: 8 minutes, " Elder Yao Shan said in a clear voice.

Then, he placed the graphite powder on the stage and picked up the small wooden gavel with his right hand. he gently knocked on the gabble signaling the start of the auction.

There was a commotion in the crowd. In fact, most of the people present did not have much idea about graphite powder.

Only high-level blacksmiths would understand the item's use and value.

To Wu Mo, ¥1,450,000 was an extremely high price. Although it was still within his acceptable range, the starting price was already so high. it might even rise to a few million later.

He frowned slightly and chose to remain silent for now. He would make a decision after seeing the situation.

Just as he was thinking, a man's voice came from behind him.

"I'll pay ¥1,600,000."

The man was wearing a dark blue robe with six silver auspicious clouds embroidered on his chest. He looked like a blacksmith, and the strength symbol on his chest surprised everyone around him.
