Quan Yi smiled faintly, directly in front of Zheng Xiao, mounted the bicycle, and slowly rode around the sofa.
"So that's how it is. Bicycle, bicycle, the name is quite appropriate."
Seeing Quan Yi riding the bicycle by stepping on the pedals, Zheng Xiao was also quite shocked.
The perfect fit of the chain and gears, completely transmitting human power to the rear wheel, made Zheng Xiao feel a simple beauty of machinery.
Even Zheng Xiao, who had seen many novel treasures, had never seen such a device.
His eyes lit up with stars, and he said with interest, "Distinguished guest, can I ride it for a while?"
Quan Yi immediately braked and handed the bicycle to Zheng Xiao.
If he wanted to sell the bicycle, he had to let the auction house staff demonstrate its effectiveness in the auction room, so Quan Yi had to teach the auction house staff.
Moreover, when handing it over, he also deliberately adjusted the position of the seat cushion and said, "The key to this bicycle is that if your feet don't stop, the bike won't fall. As long as you keep this in mind, you will soon master the knack of riding."
Zheng Xiao followed Quan Yi's posture and tentatively stepped on the pedal lightly.
However, with this light step, the bicycle actually carried his body forward several meters.
"So light!"
With just this one try, Zheng Xiao understood the beauty of the bicycle.
A labor-saving but fast means of transportation.
Moreover, when he sat on the soft seat cushion, the distracting thoughts in his heart gradually disappeared, his state of mind became peaceful, and he entered a state of clarity.
This was an ancillary effect brought about by the sacred aura of the Fire Spirit Holy Beast.
The remaining sacred aura in the bones would produce the effect of calming the mind.
Zheng Xiao marveled in his heart, but did not reveal it on his face.
Taking advantage of the effect of the sacred aura, he began to try.
Although he was still stumbling, Zheng Xiao was completely immersed in riding.
Huo Wu watched Zheng Xiao riding the bicycle with great interest, but wearing a long skirt was really inconvenient, so she could only watch Zheng Xiao test ride.
Quan Yi noticed Huo Wu's interested expression, reached out and gently held Huo Wu's hand, and said softly, "I will specially equip you with one when I get back."
Huo Wu was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
Zheng Xiao's learning speed far exceeded Quan Yi's imagination.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Zheng Xiao learned to ride quite well.
Although he was a little wobbly, he had initially mastered the riding method of the bicycle with his feet not leaving the pedals.
Zheng Xiao was skilled and his physical fitness was not that of an ordinary person. Although it was not certain, it could be seen that he was a Soul Master with a certain level of cultivation.
Moreover, in a state of concentration, Zheng Xiao's learning speed further accelerated.
"Manager Zheng, you have already mastered the method of riding. I wonder, what is your evaluation of this thing?" Quan Yi asked.
Manager Zheng stopped reluctantly and said, "This thing is very wonderful. It can transform one part of human power into several times the power, propelling the bicycle forward at a faster speed.
Moreover, the overall body is made of hard Fire Spirit Holy Beast bones, the greater the force applied to it, the faster the speed.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be able to withstand the power of a Soul Douluo level, right?"
Quan Yi nodded and said, "With the strength of this bike, it can indeed withstand the power of a Soul Douluo, but it can only withstand it for about thirty minutes at most. Once this time is exceeded, the chain will not be able to withstand it.
However, as long as the rider's power does not exceed a Soul Douluo, then no matter how he rides, it can withstand it."
This experimental data came from Quan Yi's own tests.
A sharp light flashed in Zheng Xiao's eyes, and then he said, "In that case, I judge that this bicycle can be initially priced at 40,000 gold soul coins."
"What! 40,000 gold soul coins," Huo Wu exclaimed directly.
It's no wonder Huo Wu was surprised.
40,000 gold soul coins can buy a Soul Tool with powerful effects.
This means that Quan Yi's bicycle can be compared to Soul Tools.
Zheng Xiao's pricing can be said to have given Quan Yi a great advantage.
Since Quan Yi himself had the materials and factory, the manufacturing cost of this bicycle was just over 200 gold soul coins.
Although the bicycle used the extremely rare 50,000-year-old Fire Spirit Holy Beast bones, after all, the volume was too small, less than one percent of the overall bones.
Therefore, even if the value of the beast bones themselves is added, it will not exceed 2,000 gold soul coins.
Something that costs less than 2,000 gold soul coins is directly multiplied by twenty times, which is simply a huge profit.
However, Zheng Xiao dared to price it so high, it doesn't mean he was昏庸。
On the contrary, he keenly noticed the hidden value of this bicycle.
Moreover, more importantly, this bicycle is a brand-new item that has appeared for the first time.
If Soth Auction House can obtain the right to auction it, it will definitely expand the reputation of the auction house.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Zheng Xiao raised the price of the bicycle to 40,000 gold soul coins.
This price is already comparable to some rare Soul Tools.
Moreover, don't forget that this pricing is not the final transaction price. When the formal auction comes, this price can be doubled several times.
Quan Yi smiled faintly, then reached out and said, "Manager Zheng, happy cooperation."
Zheng Xiao reached out and shook Quan Yi's hand vigorously, and said with a smile, "Happy cooperation."
After letting go, Zheng Xiao suddenly said, "Two distinguished guests, originally, after appraising the items, they can be directly auctioned.
However, I suggest that you two can wait for a while and directly participate in the evening's exquisite auction.
Besides, our auction staff also needs some time to learn how to ride.
I wonder what you two think?"
The auction house adopts a 24-hour cycle of bidding.
However, among them, the two hours of each night are only available to sellers whose margin exceeds one million gold soul coins.
Therefore, the items that can participate in the auction during this time are all the best of the best.
Quan Yi admitted that although his bicycle was rare, it was not up to the level of being exquisite.
Zheng Xiao's arrangement seemed too 'attentive', which inevitably made Quan Yi feel wary.
However, Quan Yi thought about it and could understand Zheng Xiao's psychology.
The reason why Zheng Xiao attached so much importance to Quan Yi was very simple. He inferred from various signs that there was a Soul Douluo standing behind Quan Yi.
Only this reason can make a director of an auction house attach so much importance to two young people.
After understanding this principle, Quan Yi readily agreed to Zheng Xiao's request.
After all, being able to participate in the exquisite auction can not only increase knowledge, but also increase the auction price of the bicycle.
Quan Yi had no reason to refuse such a good thing.
"Then I will go arrange it now. You two can take advantage of the remaining time to stroll around. I will send someone to lead the way for you."
