After a short silence, hundreds of people stood up with a swoosh! Even those sitting in the VIP seats were of no exception!
Mining level +2! How could there be such an abnormally strong item!? That meant one could mine high-grade ores with just low-level mining skill! Once one’s mining skill reached high-level, then they would be able to mine most ores!
What were ores? Ores were the raw form of equipment! If a guild’s inventory had stored a super large amount of high-grade ores, then that meant that the guild members did not need to worry about the problem of their equipment . Once their levels were enough, then a Gold set for each member was no longer a dream!
Not only so, buildings needed to use ores, missions also required ores, and not to mention the construction of cities and fortresses! With that hoe, it was equal to being able to create a Mining Grandmaster!
Even Lin Jie was astonished, that type of item was simply defying common sense! Even in his past life, there had been few such formidable and powerful items .
“2,000 gold coins!” Heaven Plume lifted his bidder card and shouted out the first price .
After that price was heard, the onlookers at the Holy Church’s Square were instantly dumbstruck . That was a Bronze-Grade miner’s hoe! Its starting price was already 2,000 gold coins? If converted to cash, it would be as high as $40,000!
That was only the first auction item!
Heaven Plume took a deep breath and stared at the Miner’s Hoe excitedly . Due to the spawn rate of guild bases being irregular, the only guilds that had a base were Ironwall Empire and Angel Descent . The guild base construction consumed a large number of materials and if he could obtain that Miners Hoe…
“3,000 gold coins . ” The Heavenly Shield followed behind closely and raised his card .
Heaven Plume was about to raise the price, but a clear and crisp woman’s voice shouted out, “I bid 5,000 gold coins!”
Everyone was shocked, the price of that miner’s hoe may be high, but the increase in price was just too fast! Everyone present was sophisticated . If the price of the first auction item was raised too high, then the bidding prices afterward would require a much higher expenditure .
The person who raised the price was shrouded in a dark robe . One could not see her face or equipment, but the only thing they could verify was her sex . Who would be willing to pay such a huge amount just to buy the Miners Hoe?
Baili Xuanyuan smiled slightly and said calmly, “I’ll also follow and bid, 5,500 gold coins . ”
“Who is that person?”
“I don’t know, but the people sitting beside him are Demon Robe and Eighteen Massacres . Remember Kingdom of Glory? They were famous for a period of time in the past . ”
“I remember, but now they have disappeared . Looks like they were bought . ”

“A rich guy, paying 5,500 gold coins for the Miners Hoe… In addition, it is his first time bidding, I’m afraid anyone will give him face . ”
Lin Jie’s eyes flickered, the Miners Hoe was not only worth 5,500 gold coins . If it was taken by Baili Xuanyuan, then it would be a huge loss! If necessary, he could only ask The Heavenly Shield to be the “capper . ”
“This beauty, thank you for being generous,” said Baili Xuanyuan smilingly as he held his fists and saluted her from afar .
The guild leaders in the VIP seats all looked at him, they were all on guard against the guy that appeared for the first time under everyone’s sight . 5,500 gold coins were equal to millions of cash! That was already over the value of the Miners Hoe itself . One could say, Baili Xuanyuan used that move to prove his wealth .
Bella smiled and took a look at the woman in black clothes, her body was slightly trembling, her head was buried under the seat, not knowing what she was doing .
“5,500 gold coins, going once!” Bella laughed tenderly and said, “A god-like item that could raise one’s mining level by 2 levels, the best item that could allow one to enjoy a permanent increase in level, is there no one else that has a higher bid?”
“5,500 gold coins, going twice!”
“5,500 gold coins, going…”
“Wait!”
When Bella was about to knock down the hammer in her hand, Lin Jie was secretly ordering The Heavenly Shield to prepare to raise the price, while Baili Xuanyuan’s face was filled with a hypocritical light smile . The woman in black revealed half of her pretty face as she swallowed the food in her mouth fiercely!
She was trying her best to eat the delicious pastries provided by the auction just now, so she was unable to speak till now .
Everyone was rendered speechless . A weirdo! A person with so much money would actually be greedy for the pastries provided by the auction? Was it possible that the pastries were that delicious?
At that moment, the sales of the pastries in the auction increased by a great amount, helping Lin Jie earn a revenue that was neither large nor little .
“7,000 gold coins!” The woman in black waved her hands, and a waiter serving another plate of pastries walked past . She hastened the movement of her hand and took the plate, placing it on her lap . She then mumbled with a stuffed mouth, “If anyone else wants to raise the price, please help me raise it to 10,000, I want to eat, so I don’t have the time to deal with all of you . ”
Everyone was stunned with that foodie! That weirdo!
What she said, if one purposely wanted to find trouble by raising the price to 9,900 gold coins, then wouldn’t it be a huge loss for her?

Demon Robe stood up with a sinister smile, since that woman was willing to bid 10,000 gold coins, then fine! ‘I’ll help you to push the price up!’ Demon Robe laughed as he said, “I bid 8,500 gold coins . ”
“Okay, you win . ” The woman in black sat down instantly with a thud .
“You…” Demon Robe was astonished .
“Dark-Robed Knights bid 8,500 gold coins . ” Bella cooperatively raised the bidding price and smiled slightly . “Looks like this Miners Hoe is worth far more . Are there any other players willing to bid for a higher price?”
Demon Robe was furious, he shouted in anger, “Hey, didn’t that woman say she will bid 10,000 gold coins? Auctioneer, what do you mean?”
Bella blinked her seductive eyes behind the mask and smiled as she said, “This lady, are you willing to bid 10,000 gold coins?”
The woman in black took a look at Demon Robe . “I was just saying it out only . ”
“A gentleman does what one says!” Demon Robe was frustrated, 8,500 gold coins! $1,500,000 in cash! That huge sum of money, who would be willing to waste it just like that?
The last sentence by the woman in black nearly made Demon Robe faint . “I am a woman, you said it yourself . ”
Baili Xuanyuan shouted coldly, “Sit down!”
“Yes, yes…” Demon Robe’s face was filled with anger .
“Since my subordinate has called out such a price, as his boss, I will buy it with the price of 8,500 gold coins…” Baili Xuanyuan calmed himself down and said with composure as if the money spent was nothing to him . He portrayed himself to be very generous, that was the demeanor of a successful businessman!
The woman in black instantly changed her mind and said, “I’ll bid 10,000 . ”
Baili Xuanyuan’s face darkened . ‘What does that woman want? These few times, she was simply not giving him a way out!’
Lin Jie sized up that woman in black . As his seat was quite far in the back, he could not see the woman’s face . There was quite the number of wealthy women in The New Age, but they usually had a powerful background . This woman, daring to go against Baili Xuanyuan alone, just who was she?
“This beauty really knows what’s what! Are there any others who want to offer a higher bid? 10,000 gold coins! Going once!”
“10,000 gold coins! Going twice!” Bella was still trying her best to arouse people to bid, but the effects were not as expected since that price was already unrealistically high .
“10,000 gold coins going thrice! Congratulations to this beautiful lady, I believe that you would find the item to be worth more than its price . ” Bella knocked down her hammer, and the first item was officially sold!
“Hahaha, lady, you really have the demeanor of a heroine, I admire you!” Baili Xuanyuan laughed loudly . There was not a bit of unhappiness on his face, that expression, that behavior, it was as if he was Qiao Feng 1 , very forthright!
The woman in black did not have any reaction, she sat down and continued eating the pastries . Her performance of acting as if no one else was present made people astonished .
Lin Jie whispered, “Star Kill, follow after that woman later and investigate her information . ”
Star Kill nodded his head and disappeared with Stealth Move . He secretly went beside that woman and leaned on the wall behind her silently .
“The second item is the super rare material—Liquid Mithril, a total of nine bottles, from the request of the seller, the nine bottles will be sold as one package!” Bella’s soft and tender right arm moved slightly, and the Liquid Mithril appeared in the sky .
Liquid Mithril, not only could it be used to create equipment, but it could also be converted into “Anti-Mana Potion . ” A layer of it would be applied to buildings in large-scale battles, any AOE destructive magic spells would instantly lose their effects .
What was the most fearsome thing in large-scale battles? The Iron Warrior Team in Forward Charge? The Hunter army team that assaulted from long distances?
No, none of them were the ones! The most formidable weapon in large-scale battles were always—Mages!
The Mages’ AOE destructive force would be able to destroy any buildings or enemy target, but if on the surface of these buildings a layer of Anti-Mana Potion were to be added, then the Mages would become totally useless! As long as one hid inside Anti-Mana buildings, then they would be immune to all magical damage!
Anti-Mana Potion was extremely rare, even in the whole The New Age, the only place which would store such a super rare item would most probably be the headquarters of the Holy Church .
The nine bottles of Liquid Mithril, the amount of Anti-Mana Potion created could at least support a large-scale war!
“It must be obtained!” Baili Xuanyuan’s pupils constricted . His greatest target this time was the City Leader Token, who expected for him to accidentally stumble upon such an item!
Although Anti-Mana Potion could only be used for the construction of buildings, if one did not mind wasting its value by applying it on one’s equipment, that’s fine too! If one had money, no matter how they squandered it, there was no problem at all!
If Anti-Mana Potion was smeared on equipment, then participating in the city siege, the success rate would at least increase by 50%! Just thinking about the scenery of an army of vanguards that were totally immune to all magical damage going on a rampage…
The eyes of many guild leaders and other leaders that understood the value of this item flickered . They could not help but tremble in excitement, eager to bid .
“10,000 gold coins!” Baili Xuanyuan was the first to stand up, the fearsome high price crushed the hopes of many people buying it .
At the square .
“F*ck, 10,000 gold coins again!”
“Are those people crazy? It is only materials!”
“What do you know? If that was used to win a battle, then the profits gained would be far more than that 10,000 gold coins . ”
“I can’t take it anymore, I am going to go and kill a Boss . If an awesome item is dropped, then I’ll be rich . ”
No different from the square, everyone in the auction was shocked too .
“Hehehe, since there are good items, let me try fighting for them too . I bid 11,000 gold coins!” A man with a calm face raised his hand .
Lin Jie took a look from afar, that person was called Passionate Womanizer . He was the guild leader of A Moment of Romance, he was a frank and straightforward person . He managed a car chain store company and was a tycoon that had relatively influential abilities .
“13,000!” shouted The Heavenly Shield, however, his voice was very quickly covered .
If for example the Miners Hoe was just increasing a small portion of strength, then the Liquid Mithril could very possibly increase the battle strength of a guild by several times in one shot! Naturally, they could not be compared!
Dumb Fox raised his card and shouted, “14,000 gold coins . ”
One could only see the price rising rapidly, Lin Jie’s eyebrows also jumped more and more quickly . The price of Liquid Mithril was already over his expectations! That was the deadly attractiveness of warring-type materials to guilds!
“20,000 gold coins!” shouted Baili Xuanyuan loudly, pushing the price up to the peak! “I hope everyone could give me, Baili Xuanyuan, some face . In the future, if I obtain City of Light, I will definitely make open all the offers to the brothers present . A favor shall be returned many times more!”
The whole auction suddenly went quiet!
What Baili Xuanyuan had said, wasn’t that establishing his determination of obtaining the City Leader Token?
No need to give anything in return, just giving him face, no matter what, they had no loss!
Burp~
Due to the complete silence of the auction, the sound of a burp was particularly abrupt . That woman in black seemed to have had her fill with pastries . Her eyes lit up when she saw the Liquid Mithril . She then made a decision and said, “25,000 gold coins, I’ll have it!”
