## Chapter 209: Pricing at Forty Thousand Gold Soul Coins
Quan Yi smiled faintly, directly mounted the bicycle in front of Zheng Xiao, and slowly rode around the sofa.
"So that's it, a bicycle, bicycle, a very fitting name indeed."
Zheng Xiao watched Quan Yi pedaling the bicycle and was quite shocked.
The perfect fit of the chain and gears, completely transferring human power to the rear wheel, made Zheng Xiao feel a simple beauty of machinery.
Even having seen many novel treasures, Zheng Xiao had never seen such a device.
His eyes lit up with starlight, and he said with interest, "Esteemed guest, may I try it?"
Quan Yi immediately braked and handed the bicycle to Zheng Xiao.
To sell the bicycle, he had to let the auction house staff demonstrate its function in the auction room, so Quan Yi had to teach them how to ride it.
Moreover, when handing it over, he specially adjusted the position of the seat, saying, "The key to this bicycle is that if your feet don't stop, the bike won't fall. As long as you remember this, you'll quickly master the riding technique."
Zheng Xiao imitated Quan Yi's posture and tentatively stepped on the pedal lightly.
However, with just this light step, the bicycle carried his body forward several meters.
"So light!"
With just this one try, Zheng Xiao understood the beauty of the bicycle.
An effortless yet fast means of transportation.
Moreover, when he sat on the soft seat, the distracting thoughts in his heart gradually disappeared, his state of mind became peaceful, and he entered a state of tranquility.
This was the side effect brought about by the Fire Spirit Holy Beast's inherent sacred aura.
The residual sacred aura in the bones would produce a calming effect.
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 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 whispered, "I will specially equip one for you when I get back."
Huo Wu was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
Zheng Xiao's learning speed far exceeded Quan Yi's expectations.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Zheng Xiao learned to ride quite well.
Although a little shaky, his feet did not leave the pedals, and he had initially mastered the riding method of the bicycle.
Zheng Xiao was skilled and his physical fitness was not that of an ordinary person. Although 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 mastered the riding method. 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 point 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, right?"
Quan Yi nodded and said, "With the strength of this bicycle, 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 strength does not exceed that of a Soul Douluo, then no matter how he rides it, it can withstand it."
This experimental data came from Quan Yi's own testing.
A gleam flashed in Zheng Xiao's eyes, and then he said, "In that case, I judge that this bicycle can be initially priced at forty thousand Gold Soul Coins."
"What! Forty thousand Gold Soul Coins!" Huo Wu exclaimed directly.
It's no wonder Huo Wu was surprised.
Forty thousand Gold Soul Coins could buy a Soul Guidance Device with powerful functions.
This means that Quan Yi's bicycle can be compared to a Soul Guidance Device.
Zheng Xiao's pricing can be said to have given Quan Yi a great advantage.
Since Quan Yi has his own materials and factory, the manufacturing cost of this bicycle is just over two hundred Gold Soul Coins.
Although the bicycle uses the extremely rare 50,000-year Fire Spirit Holy Beast's bones, after all, the volume is too small, less than one percent of the overall skeleton.
Therefore, even with the value of the beast bones themselves, it would not exceed two thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Something that costs less than two thousand Gold Soul Coins is directly multiplied by twenty times, which is simply a huge profit.
However, Zheng Xiao dares to price it so high, which does not mean that he is incompetent.
On the contrary, he keenly perceived the hidden value of this bicycle.
The characteristic of this bicycle is that the stronger the rider, the faster it can perform.
Therefore, it was manufactured for the Soul Master group.
In the hands of a powerful Soul Master, it can even exert a powerful effect far exceeding ordinary Soul Guidance Devices.
Moreover, more importantly, this bicycle is a brand-new item that has appeared for the first time.
The Saus Auction House will be able to obtain its auction rights, which will surely 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 Guidance Devices.
And, don't forget, this price 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 his hand 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 the appraised 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.
Moreover, our auction staff also need some time to learn how to ride.
I wonder what you two think?"
The auction house adopts a 24-hour cycle auction.
However, among them, two hours every night are only for sellers with a deposit of more than one million Gold Soul Coins.
Therefore, the items that can participate in the auction during this period are all the best of the best.
Quan Yi believes that although his bicycle is rare, it has not yet reached the level of being exquisite.
Zheng Xiao's arrangement seemed too 'attentive', which inevitably made Quan Yi feel vigilant.
However, Quan Yi thought about it and could understand Zheng Xiao's psychology.
The reason why Zheng Xiao attaches so much importance to Quan Yi is very simple. He deduced from various signs that there is 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 figuring out this truth, 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 bicycles.
Quan Yi has no reason to refuse such a good thing.
"Then I will arrange it now. You two can take advantage of the rest of the time to stroll around. I will send someone to lead the way for you."
