YM778.TV Chapter 138 - 138 Climax of the Auction
“Guild Leader Xuanyuan, I’m really sorry. As an archer, I really do need these Blood Shadow Wings,” Zhou Feng said to Xuanyuan Tian.
“Hehehe, it’s a fair competition. No problem. 80 million,” Xuanyuan Tian said with a fake smile.
“90 million,” Zhou Feng said coldly.
!!
Hiss!
Everyone could not help but gasp.
“F*ck! Are they crazy? A piece of level-20 dark demon flying equipment for such a high price? This is crazy.”
“This is a level-20 dark demon weapon. How can it be sold for 90 million? I’d understand if it were celestial-grade equipment, but this is a dark demon-grade item.”
“Even if it can fly, there’s no need to pay such a high price, right? It’s not like you can fly all the time. Even if you can fly, can you really earn back the money with the effect of flying?”
“In theory, it’s very difficult unless there’s a mission that can only be completed by flying, or if you encounter a powerful boss and you can save your life by flying, or if you can kill a boss and get high-value equipment through flying. But that seems difficult.”
“These people are just stupid but have more money.”
…
“95 million!” Xuanyuan Tian gritted his teeth and said.
Although he was from a top family and was rich…
His family was complicated. For example, Xuanyuan Tian’s family was very large.
His father was very rich, but Xuanyuan Tian was only a man in his 20s. How much money could he have?
Feng Ling was the same.
He had earned a lot of money over the years, but no matter how much he earned, it was not enough for him to bid for anything without frowning.
He was playing a game. He wasn’t really doing business!
Previously, Dugu Wenjian had been willing to spend one billion to buy Lil Xue’er, which was indeed a sky-high price.
“Young Master, we can’t increase the price any further. We’ve overspent nearly 100 million to buy a dark demon weapon. We were going to use this money to bid for the guild-building order,” the old man behind Xuanyuan Tian said.
“I know. Let’s see if he still wants to increase the bid.”
Zhou Feng sat there, gritting his teeth.
“President, don’t raise the bid. We only have a budget of 400 million to auction the guild-building order. If we raise the bid by another 100 million, I’m afraid the chances of us getting the guild-building order will be slim. And this is only a dark demon weapon.” A man beside Zhou Feng quickly stopped him.
“You don’t understand. As an archer, being able to fly carries a big advantage. Archers are afraid of swordsmen and assassins. If I can fly, it means that I’m invincible when facing swordsmen and assassins. They rarely have skills that can hit 20 meters in the air.”
“But… we still have to bid for the guild-building order.”
Zhou Feng thought about it.
“No matter what, I must get the Blood Shadow Wings!”
Then, he raised his board.
“100 million!”
Whoosh!
The crowd was in an uproar.
“No way, no way, no way! A hundred million! Can a single dark demon weapon be sold for a hundred million?”
Long Mengyi’s small mouth was wide open.
“Even if flying equipment is valuable, you can’t do this. In ‘The World,’ wasn’t a piece of level-20 flying equipment only worth 20 million?”
Lu Yufan was also puzzled.
How did it become like this in Fate?
It was not like the price of goods had increased.
Chu Bai said, “Fate has a higher level of authenticity. This will make those who enter Fate more ambitious, and their desires will expand. Those who were ambitious in the past will be even more ambitious now. Correspondingly, they’ll naturally want more good things, even if they have to spend more money.”
Then, Chu Bai revealed a smile.
He was rich.
Jiang Qianyue never expected that the Blood Shadow Wings could be auctioned off for a sky-high price of 100 million.
This was crazy!
“Blood Shadow Wings, 100 million going once.
“100 million going twice.
“100 million going thrice, sold.”
Zhou Feng and Xuanyuan Tian looked at each other.
Xuanyuan Tian even squeezed out a smile for him.
However, when Zhou Feng turned around, his smile instantly turned into viciousness.
“If I didn’t get it, then so be it. We’ll just focus on bidding for the guild-building order,” Xuanyuan Tian muttered.
“The next event is the main event of the day, the auction for the guild-building order,” Jiang Qianyue said.
After that, the guild-building order was brought out on stage.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the token!
This little thing was something that they had not been able to find for so long!
...
It was actually being auctioned!
They had no choice but to bid for it!
This was because none of them were willing to let their competitors become the first guild in Fate.
“It’s finally starting. Just now, I thought that the Blood Shadow Wings weren’t worth my ticket price. Let’s see if this guild-building order can make the ticket price worth it!”
“How much do you guys think the guild-building order will sell for?”
“I thought it would be at most 200 million, but since the Blood Shadow Wings were sold for 100 million, I think it’ll be double the price. 400 million.”
“I’m guessing it’ll be around there. They’re really rich. They’re spending a few hundred million just to be the first guild.”
“Isn’t there an additional reward for being the first guild? I don’t know what it is, though.”
“What can they reward you with? Was the reward for being the first guild in ‘The World’ useful? Even if you’re the first guild established, it doesn’t matter if you can’t fight against stronger guilds. Being the first guild doesn’t mean you’re invincible; it’s just a reputation.”
“Indeed.”
…
...
The people looked at the guild-building order excitedly.
Jiang Qianyue then said, “With this guild-building order, you’ll be the first person to establish a guild. Guild-building orders are extremely rare. The starting bid is 50 million, and each increment must not be less than 1 million. The bidding will begin now.
“51 million.”
“52 million.”
“53 million.”
…
In the beginning, they were all bidding slowly to test the waters.
Then, they increased their bidding speed.
“80 million!” Feng Ling said.
“90 million,” Dugu Wenjian said.
“100 million,” Xuanyuan Tian replied.
“110 million,” Zhou Feng said.
It was basically the four of them competing.
Qingqiu Yanmo did not participate in the intense competition in the private room.
“Hehehe, the three of you, an increase of ten million each time seems meaningless. I’m determined to get this guild-building order, and Feng Ling Dynasty will definitely be the first guild in Fate! 300 million!”
Feng Ling immediately raised the price to 300 million!
This was what he had expected.
He had topped up another 100 million yuan today.
The reason why he raised the price so high was that firstly, it would make others feel that he was very determined to get the guild-building order. Secondly, it would make them feel that he had prepared a lot of money to bid for the guild-building order, so they would back off.
However, how could he possibly scare these people?
“Hehehe, Guild Master Feng Ling is really rich and generous. However, my brothers from Breeze Pavilion will not acknowledge you as the first guild! 400 million,” Zhou Feng said indifferently.
Although his tone was calm, his heart was trembling.
400 million was not a small number.
This should be enough, right?
Whoosh!
“F*ck! Isn’t that too ruthless? Aren’t these people a little too ruthless?”
“400 million! A guild-building order is being sold for 400 million! He increased it by 100 million? This is too exaggerated.”
…
Which of them had ever seen an auction item with a bid increase of 100 million by 100 million?
As soon as 400 million was offered, the few of them frowned at the same time.
Feng Ling frowned.
He only had a budget of 400 million, but he could not just stop like this.
“Third Uncle, ask for another 50 million from the family,” he said to a middle-aged man beside him.
However, at this moment…
“500 million.”
A voice came slowly.
Everyone was speechless.
