Chapter 124 (The Auction – Part 5)

As expected, just when Fei Er finished announcing the start of the auction of this last item, Romantic Master shouted out an unprecedented high price – 50 million!

It seemed that Romantic Master was determined to win this item. Unfortunately, there were still some people strong enough to compete with him. From a VIP box next to us, a calm voice came out, “60 million.”

“Looks like the 10 million fund that I prepared for use is not necessary anymore,” Murong Shan Shan said helplessly.

I asked in surprise, “Who is the person in the room next to us?”

Murong Shan Shan stretched out her head to look. She turned back and seriously said, “It’s a guy.”

Everyone was dumbfounded. Xu Lin also took a look and afterward, she said with a smile, “I don’t recognize him. He’s not a top ten player.”

“Let’s watch the situation…”

Romantic Master still upped the price little by little. The cool guy in the next room also didn’t seem to want the price to increase too fast. Not too long afterward, the price had almost reached one hundred million. Both of them also slowly lowered the range of the increased bid. Apparently, the idea of spending several hundred million for a virtual item wasn’t a concept that many could accept yet.

“95 million.”

“97 million.”

Romantic Master became a bit anxious. He immediately set the bid to 100 million.

The cool guy in the next room was silent for a moment. Just when Romantic Master thought he had secured the Guild Creation Certificate for 100 million, from the side came another voice that made him nearly crazy., “110 million.”

Lu Xue Han and I burst in joy. Xu Lin also smiled very sweetly. Just the 25% from 100 million for the studio cost would let her live a carefree life.

Ignoring the killing atmosphere outside, Lu Xue Han and I began to calculate our profit, “The money from selling the Guild Creation Certificate will be split half. Last time we sold the equipment for 800,000 and from selling the scrolls we got 500,000. All of that will be split equally between us. Unfortunately, quite much of it will be scraped by an unscrupulous capitalist…”

“Lin Fan, who do you meant by the unscrupulous capitalist?” Xu Lin smilingly looked at me and went on to say, “How about this. Both Lu Xue Han and you certainly earn quite a lot this time. And since I didn’t make any contribution on getting the items, I also don’t feel good if I exploit you two. So, this time, both of you together only need to give me 10 million for the studio fee, and in the future, you don’t need to pay up any fees at all anymore. All the money you earn, you can keep it all fully for yourselves. How about it?”

If someone else said that, I certainly would think that the person had a hidden agenda. However, looking at the current situation, Xu Lin’s decision was undoubtedly a big green light for us. If we calculated the 25% fee, just I alone would be scraped off more than 20 million. But now, together with Lu Xue Han, we only need to give 10 million.

I was suddenly in a good mood. I thought for a while before I made an announcement, “Then we’ll do it this way. Xue Han won’t need to pay anything. The cost, this time, will be on me. In addition to that, I will give everyone in our studio a bonus of 5 million. That should be generous enough.”

Xin Yu looked at me in disbelief and was too excited to say anything. Xu Lin smiled and asked me, “Do I also get the bonus share?”

“Of course. Except for Xue Han, everyone will get a share.”

Murong Shan Shan stared blankly and asked me in a low voice, “Are you not mistaken? You give out a few tens of millions just like that? It’s tens of millions…”

I laughed and replied in the same low voice, “I’m single. What do I need so much money for? I still have a lot left anyway…”

“Ai…” Murong Shan Shan sighed and whispered, “You, when will you think about yourself…”

The struggle outside was getting even more intensified. The price of the Guild Creation Certificate had risen like a whirlwind to 200 million already. Beside Romantic Master and the guy in the room next to us, several guys on the sideline had also joined the bidding. Apparently, the number of people who wanted to be the first to establish a guild in Silvermoon City wasn’t small either. It wasn’t surprising, though, since the first established guild would certainly pull a large number of experts.

Soon enough, the price had soared to 300 million. Those several guys on the sideline, who were watching the tigers fighting and hoping to benefit from it, had withdrawn from the fight already. Only Romantic World and the “Cool Guy” were left.

Murong Shan Shan chuckled, “It’s going to end soon. The guy in the next room is still very calm, but Romantic Master’s face already begins to look like a pig liver.”

She was right. Although Romantic Master was very rich, but three hundred million seemed to be the limit that he could spend. Meanwhile, the guy in the room next to us was obviously a big boss himself, otherwise, his voice wouldn’t be so firm.

“400 million.”

The cool guy directly upped the bid to 400 million. With that, Romantic Master was finished. He could only sob together with that beautiful female Thief…

Fei Er laughed loudly and went on to announce, “Today’s auction has officially ended. Congratulations to the player Red Blood to acquire the Guild Creation Certificate. Dear friends, we will meet again next week. Another thing, due to everyone’s request, I have created an Elf Thief character a few days ago. As for my ID, it’s still confidential for the time being. In a couple of days, I can already get to Silvermoon City.”

I didn’t notice anymore what the coquettish Fei Er said. The only thing I was interested now was the figures in my bank account. I took a look and my eyes almost popped out. Deducing the 5% fee, which was 20 million, from the 400 million, the remaining sum would be 380 million. Added together with the money I had in my account, now I had more than 400 million in it. This was the first time in my life that I saw such a huge figure.

I immediately transferred 190 million to Lu Xue Han and also transferred another 10 million to Xu Lin. Afterward, I transferred Xin Yu the 5 million bonus for her. Still, I had more than 200 million left. Damn it. I could now finally stand straight when the aunty downstairs joked that I couldn’t even afford more than 20 pieces of shirts.

It was already past eleven now. I looked at everyone and said, “Why don’t we go to the hotel restaurant now and have a nice lunch. Oh, right, Murong Shan Shan, you wait for us at the school entrance, we’ll be there soon.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Murong Shan Shan chuckled, “Okay, can we also take Cocoa with us?”

Immediately after getting offline, Xu Lin called out the other girls. After putting on their coat, everyone walked out. Liu Yun and Li Qing still had a cold look on their face, their eyes were as if there was no trace of humanity inside them, totally indifferent. Fortunately, I was used to seeing it and didn’t feel uncomfortable with it, perhaps I was getting numb of it already. Maybe they were unwilling to show their true feelings in front of others. In this line of business, it was quite inevitable.

Xin Yu wore a pink sweater, her plum twin peaks looked like ready to burst out of her clothes in any moment. Her white casual pants almost perfectly outlined her attractive curve. Her charming face wore a touching smile. Just a lovely glance from her made my heart racing fast.

“Lin Fan, am I beautiful today?” Xin Yu asked laughing.

I couldn’t think of what to answer. After a long while, I answered, “Very…”
