Lin Jie’s jaw almost hit the floor in shock .

From which family did this prodigal daughter come from? He had promised Silent Grey Sky to give her the Liquid Mithril in exchange for equipment . Now it was all ruined, 25,000 gold coins! That was 25,000 gold coins! How could he fight with her?

“Is there anyone else bidding? If no one else wants it, then I’ll be the one taking it,” asked the woman in black .

Bella smiled bitterly as she looked at that rich woman, her limpid eyes swept past the people in the VIP seats . She understood, if there was someone to fight with her, then it would be that group of people!

However, Bella obviously underestimated the preciousness of gold coins, 25,000 gold coins, that price was already far beyond everyone’s expectations . Appearances may be deceiving, take Baili Xuanyuan for example; the 20,000 gold coins that came out of his mouth in a calm and collected manner, as if it was nothing to him, in reality, was an astonishingly scary amount . The reason he did that was to make a name for himself to the largest extent and show his wealth .

Who expected that woman to actually be so valiant!

Lin Jie smiled bitterly and sent a message to Silent Grey Sky saying, “Sorry, the Liquid Mithril was bought by someone else, if there is a chance for me to obtain another batch of it, I will definitely give it to you . ”

“Ah?” Silent Grey Sky said in a depressed tone, “I thought you had a few more . ”

“Where would I… Uh? A few more? What do you mean?” Lin Jie was in a daze .

“I just bought nine bottles of Liquid Mithril . Hahaha, coming to the auction this time was not bad . I also bought the Miners Hoe . Oh yes, didn’t you say you have ores that were enough for me to mine for my whole life? Tell me quickly, I can’t wait already!” said Silent Grey Sky as she pouted .

“Oh right, I stole those items from a middle-aged man that had a very fake smile, I reckon he will make a move against me later . Come and give me a hand, okay?” she added .

Lin Jie looked at the back of the woman in black in disbelief . ‘That person, is it possible…’ But, Silent Grey Sky, that name was not known in his previous life at all! The only history record was only “a miner found the road to the Dark Iron Mountain . ”

A super tycoon, who could casually throw away a few ten thousands of gold coins, was totally different from that woman in Lin Jie’s memory who would pout and take small advantages of him .

Lin Jie calmed down, smiled, and said, “Hiring me as a bodyguard is not free . A salary is mandatory . ”

Silent Grey Sky said meekly, “But I am just a little weak girl, a pitiful girl that digs ores every day…”

Lin Jie’s mouth twitched as he nearly fainted from anger .

It was just his luck that he had actually gotten to know the super rich woman .

Silent Grey Sky obviously belonged to the type that was relatively dedicated in some aspect, perhaps the reason she had not been famous in Lin Jie’s previous life was that she had not been of high profile or maybe… she wholeheartedly mined ores and did not think about others .

Whereas in this life it was the same, Silent Grey Sky was still dedicated to mining ores and smithing . However, she unexpectedly joined this auction, which was originally totally unrelated to her; therefore, there was such a scene .

The third auction item was a broken skill scroll .

[Incomplete Secret Wind-Piercing Swordsmanship Book]: 1/4 . Contains the skill [Wind-Piercing Slash], as well as hints about Wind-Piercing Swordsmanship .

“The third treasure, is a secret book,” Bella introduced, “secret book-type items normally appear in shards, and they are equal to a treasure map with hidden clues . Every incomplete secret book has clues and skills, after gathering a whole set, then one is even able to obtain a whole set of skills!”

“The secret book that is sold this time, the skill description is as below:”

[Wind-Piercing Slash]: The starting move of Wind-Piercing Swordsmanship, deals 100% damage to a single target . If the target is forcibly interrupted, then an additional 500% damage would be dealt . Cooldown time: 10 minutes .

“This is a skill with an extremely high upper limit, and its lower limit is quite high too . ” Bella had already done her homework on the items long ago and introduced it with full confidence . “In the worst case scenario, this is also a skill that can reset the attack interval with one attack . Whereas in the hands of an expert, not only can one interrupt the target’s skill, there is also an additional formidable attack! What is most attractive about this skill is that this is a one skill starting move! The Wind-Piercing Swordsmanship still has another three skills, its overall value cannot be estimated . Let the bidding begin!”

A Warrior sitting beside Lin Jie said with disdain, “She is just lauding the items to the skies . If the subsequent clues cannot be found, then wouldn’t it be spending lots of money just to buy an interrupting skill?”

Indeed, the largest potential and value of secret book-type of items had to do with its mission . If one could find the completed set of a secret book, then the set of skills that intertwined with each other could unleash a formidable power .

Otherwise, it would just be a skill only .

“1,000 gold coins . ” A Warrior named Sound of Wind raised his card . He was one of Brotherhood’s members, ranked in the top 100 within the missionary rankings . He was also one of the quite powerful players .

Everyone seemed to be more careful with the bidding of the skill .

The attributes of the skill Wind-Piercing Slash was quite good, but to spend a large amount of money on a clue that had no guaranteed profit was akin to not having discerning eyes to differentiate between greatness from mediocrity . One misstep and they’d look like an idiot that has too much money on his hands .

“1,100 gold coins . ”

“1,200 gold coins . ”

The increase in bidding price obviously decreased by a huge amount—a vast difference between the Miners Hoe and Liquid Mithril .

Zheng Ziliang’s face was quite pale, and he said, “Damn it, that is a secret book-type item . I estimated the price to be around 3,000 gold coins! Who would have thought that people would have little interest in buying it?”

Lin Jie smiled and patted his shoulders . He said, “In the game, only when the item is in one’s hands can it be considered guaranteed . Vague clues are as worthless as hearsay . ”

Zheng Ziliang took a deep breath and nodded .

“3,000 gold coins,” said Baili Changcheng calmly while sitting steadily . His voice was not loud, but it was resounding and powerful!

Sound of Wind took a look behind, and reluctantly sat down .

3,000 gold coins were really too high for him .

“Okay, 3,000 gold coins going once!” Bella spared no effort and said, “This secret book item has unlimited potential, the price is already at 3,000 gold coins!”

With the Liquid Mithril and Miners Hoe previously, the cold shoulder towards the secret book made Bella very awkward . As an auctioneer, silence in an auction was the most disgraceful thing!

However, luckily this time, the person who bid was Baili Changcheng .

Meanwhile, in the VIP seats, there was a person who was related to him .

“3,100 gold coins,” said Baili Xuanyuan . He calmly looked at Baili Xuanyuan, and a shred of astonishment and vigilance flashed on his face .

“3,200,” said Baili Changcheng coldly .

“3,500 gold coins . If he continues to bid, then the item is his,” said Baili Xuanyuan as he smiled .

In the eyes of the Baili family, Baili Changcheng was just a small brat . In addition, under the intentional influence of some people within the company, they were determined to oppose investing funds into the game .

Baili Changcheng could spend freely in real life, but he could not do so in the game! 3,500 gold coins were worth $700,000! To Baili Changcheng, that was only the price of a few meals, but in the game, with his old-fashioned grandfather there, he could not use such a large sum no matter what!

As expected, Baili Changcheng clenched his fist tightly and sat down hatefully .

The Wind-Piercing Swordsmanship was finally bid by Baili Xuanyuan . Immediately after, the next few auction items, without exception, were all Dark Gold fragments . Not only so, every piece of Dark Gold fragment all had mission clues, their attributes were also extremely strong; they were top-notch items in every aspect .

Dark Gold fragments, they were the symbol of top players! They not only represented their current battle power but also their development potential in the future!

Also, the difference between a top-notch Dark Gold fragment and a normal Dark Gold fragment was not only their attributes but more importantly, the mission clues they contained . It could be said that as long as one’s abilities were enough, then obtaining a complete Dark Gold equipment was a sure bet .

The bidding price of the top-notch Dark Gold fragments was normally around 4,000 to 6,000 gold coins . Such a huge transaction amount, it also made the price of the game gold coins to have a small increase .

“Jie next is the City Leader Token . ” Zheng Ziliang put on a serious face and asked in a low voice, “Did you see that? Besides the starting two auctions, the prices of the other auction items were intentionally brought down . Most likely, it is to stock up gold coins, waiting for the last explosive bidding . ”

Lin Jie nodded and said, “Naturally, their aim is the City Leader Token . The setting of the auction was the bidding price could not be over 120% of the number of gold coins one had in their hands . These people most likely thought that even if they can’t buy it, they must create trouble for others . ”

“Of course, but… What do you want me to do?” asked Zheng Ziliang .

“What to do? What do you mean what to do?” This time it was Lin Jie’s turn not to understand .

Zheng Ziliang said in shock, “You held this auction just to promote the Auction House, right? Don’t tell me you are really planning to sell the City Leader Token . It is a City Leader Token! It is related to obtaining a city!!”

Lin Jie laughed . “I really intend to sell it off . ”

“You… Jie, you are joking, right? That is killing the goose which lays golden eggs! If we can snatch a city, then that should be our real way to rise up,” said Zheng Ziliang, “I’ll find my father to get some money and buy the City Leader Token . This auction will just count as promoting the Auction House . ”

Lin Jie said sternly, “It’s not needed . ”

“But, the City Leader Token…”

“There’s no use obtaining the City Leader Token . ”

After Lin Jie finished that sentence, he then kept silent .

In Lin Jie’s previous life, the first city that had been snatched had only appeared after one year! Was it because no City Leader Token had appeared in that year? No, not only was it dropped, but it was also not an exclusive City Leader Token! Massive numbers of guilds had tried attacking cities in his past, but none had succeeded!

In his previous life, the one that had been the closest to succeeding in obtaining a city was during the first city siege! Also, the initiator had just nicely been Eighteen Massacres .

The NPCs had memory system; in their minds, the players that “only helped them run errands to complete missions would no threaten them at all” had suddenly inflicted a heavy loss on them!

Only the first city siege had the possibility of being a success!

After that, the NPCs had been on guard against alternate realms’ humans . The walls had been filled with large-scale crossbows, magic cannons defending the city, while the large gate had been enchanted with space spells and elemental forbidden spells .

Afterward, none of the city sieges had succeeded!
