Chapter 123 (The Auction – Part 4)
The Knight’s face became ugly and said with a trembling voice, “10 million.”
In a flash, the atmosphere was as if filled with the smell of gunpowder. That female Thief increased the price again to 12 million.
Murong Shan Shan smiled wickedly and said, “Do you know why Romantic Master is fighting over the shield with that high-level Knight?”
I asked surprisingly, “Why?”
“Hmmph. According to the rumors, two days ago, relying on his wealth, Romantic Master invited that ‘Release That Girl’ to join Romantic World, but that pervert Knight had declined and even said that in the event of a guild war, he won’t show any mercy to Romantic World.”
“Hahaha, it seems that it’s going to be lively in Silvermoon City later on…”
Murong Shan Shan smiled and then went on to say, “That’s not all. Just before, the Mage who bought the purple dagger, do you know who that person is?”
“Who is he?”
“A highschool friend of mine in Beijing said that this Mage, ‘Silent Whisper’, came to Silvermoon City on behalf that ‘Impulsive Hotpot’ Thief to get the best Thieves equipment here.”
I was greatly surprised, “What’s his relationship with Impulsive Hotpot? Are they gay lovers? Otherwise, why would he be so good to Impulsive Hotpot?”
“That’s not the reason.” Murong Shan Shan gave me an unhappy look, then continued, “Silent Whisper is a big property developer in the Northeast and is very rich. He brought some people into the game and wanted to dominate the game. Naturally, that first world-ranked Impulsive Hotpot would become his first target to recruit.”
“Shit, these guys are not staying quietly in Watercreek City and instead running to Silvermoon City to hunt treasures.”
“That’s why I said, in the future, Silvermoon City would be bustling. Among the four cities, Silvermoon City is the most popular one. Later on during Guild War, it will certainly get real bloody.”
Murong Shan Shan looked excited. The more chaotic it became, the more excited she got.
As we were talking, the price of the shield had been raised to 14 million. It was already an unprecedented high price. Romantic Master pulled that female Thief and whispered something into her ears.
Murong Shan Shan let out a prophet-like smile and said, “Romantic Master is aiming for the Guild Creation Certificate, so he had to restrict himself a bit.”
At the end, the shield was sold at a price of 15 million. “Release That Girl” got his wish fulfilled and acquired the purple shield. Meanwhile, after the 5% auction fees deduction, there was an addition of 14.25 million in my bank account. It was so comforting seeing so many zeroes.
“This world has gone crazy…” Xu Lin muttered.
Lu Xue Han smiled and said, “There are so many rich people in the Shanghai region. It’s not that strange that it’s sold for dozens of million.”
Xin Yu also wanted to complain, but unfortunately for her, the next item for auction was already displayed. That was my awesome purple Ax, Frenzy Blade of Darkness:
[Frenzy Blade of Darkness] (Ax – Purple Equipment)
Attack: 245-320
Strength: +45
Stamina: +52
Agility: +48
Intelligence: +40
Extra: When hitting an opponent, there is a certain chance to cause Confusion for the opponent, making it wandering blindly for a maximum of five seconds.
Required Level: 42
…
The Attack of this Ax was even higher than that purple dagger. And, most importantly, it had the chance to confuse a person. This was quite a fierce kind of effect. Even with only a 10% chance, that was to say that in 10 times attack would result in one confusion. Whether it was for PK or leveling purpose, it was really efficient.
“What did you slay to get this weapon?” Murong Shan Shan asked in surprise.
I told her honestly, “It was a level 45 BOSS, which evolved into a level 55 gold BOSS. It took me several hours and many sets of potions to finish it.”
“Don’t tell me you single-handedly fight it?” Murong Shan Shan gaped in surprise, looking very attractive.
“Of course, I killed it single-handedly. At that time, there was no one else in the east region of Silvermoon City.”
“Abnormal…” Murong Shan Shan muttered in a low voice.
“What did you say?”
“I said that you’re so handsome…”
“…”
Fei Er picked up the purple ax from the auction table and waved it gently a couple of times in the air. The light-blue inscription on the ax created a beautiful, yet fierce after image. Fei Er laughingly said, “This ax shape is really cool and also has amazing attributes. If a Barbarian were to equip this ax, he might be invincible doing PK. Okay, the reserve price for this ax is 200,000 RMB. Everyone can start bidding now.”
Almost in an instant, seven or eight shouts came from all around. All at once, the price of the ax on the big screen jumped up to 18 million. The several girls in our room all stared straight onto it. The value of this ax could really get so high…
The scene went into a complete chaos, bidding shouts could be heard one after another. I felt my heart couldn’t take it anymore, so I said to Lu Xue Han, “Xue Han, tell me when the final price is set. I need to take a break…”
After saying that, I sat down on a chair inside the room. I could still feel my heart beating violently as if it was going to spring out of my chest. To think about it, in the past, when I pretended to ask the teacher about a problem to peek her **, I wasn’t as nervous as now.
A few minutes later, the sound of the bid ended came from outside. Lu Xue Han walked over grinningly.
“So, how much did it sell in the end?”
“Guess.”
“30 million.”
“Guess again.”
“40 million.”
“Still not correct. Guess again.”
I totally collapsed. I almost knelt down pulling Lu Xue Han’s Cleric’s robe, “Great aunty, please have mercy on me. How much did it actually sell?”
Lu Xue Han laughed out and said, “Not too far from that. It was sold at 45 million.”
45 million!
Added with the money from selling the purple shield, it was already 60 million. This world was really f***ing crazy.
…
The next auction was today’s finale item. I believed that most people with money were here for this Guild Creation Certificate, no need to mention Romantic Master whose father led a household worth hundred of billion. Since his son was preparing to make a big career in the game, his father must have approved it. I was sure that his funds weren’t something that Murong Shan Shan’s could be compared with.
“It’s starting.”
This time, Lu Xue Han was also nervous like me because half of the money from this Guild Creation Certificate belonged to her.
“Xue Han, have you thought about how you’re going to spend the money?”
“I’ll send some home, then buy some food…”
After thinking for quite a while, she gave an answer, which could really make someone’s eyes popped out.
