Chapter 439: Chapter 396, Tears of Asha (Happy New Year’s Eve everyone.)_2
Most people didn’t need, or even had a use for, the blueprint of Tears of Asha. Upon hearing such material was for sale, the most they did was express surprise, exclaiming about the power of the Trade Alliance that they could get their hands on such an item.
However, it so happened that Fang Hao had an orange blueprint: the Wishing Well.
And Tears of Asha was one of the materials needed for the Wishing Well.
The rarer and more precious it was, the more determined Fang Hao was to obtain it in this auction.
If someone else bought and used it directly, he might not have access to Tears of Asha for a long time.
Of course, this would need to be within a certain price range, if the price was too high, beyond his capacity.
He wouldn’t be stubborn about buying it.
With no one in the room making a bid, Fang Hao’s heart was joyous.
Could it be just like the viscera jar, too ‘unique’ for anybody to buy?
The presenter reintroduced the rarity of the Tears of Asha.
Fang Hao pressed the bidding button in his private room, “Nine million, one hundred and fifty thousand!”
People were surprised and looked up at the second floor.
Although they couldn’t see the people in the private rooms, they clearly remembered that this room had just spent five million on a viscera jar.
Now they were spending another 9 million to buy Tears of Asha.
People whispered to each other, wondering when the people on the second floor started to become so rich.
Seeing no one in the room raising the bid, the host breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the items were not unsold.
“Nine million, one hundred and fifty thousand once, nine million, one hundred and fifty thousand twice, any higher bid…?” The presenter raised his hammer, about to call.
Suddenly, the bidding light in the third floor’s private room lit up, “Nine million, three hundred thousand!”
Hearing the increased bid, he changed his discouraging tone and asked loudly, “Good, the distinguished guest from Chu family on the third floor has bid nine million, three hundred thousand, any higher bid?”
Fang Hao sat on the sofa, a little surprised.
What the hell?
Neither early nor late, but just as the hammer was about to fall, the bid was raised by one hundred and fifty thousand.
He was suspicious, wondering if the third floor was a shill arranged by the Trade Alliance.
But as the only two bidders, his chances of buying were still high.
“Nine million, four hundred and fifty thousand!”
The third floor raised the bid, “Nine million, six hundred thousand!”
“Nine million, seven hundred and fifty thousand!”
“Nine million, nine hundred thousand!”
“Ten million, and fifty thousand!”
When Fang Hao raised the price to ten million, the entire venue fell silent.
Although items reaching ten million was not uncommon.
But for a material, was it worth calling to this degree?
On the other hand, there was a contest between the second and third floors.
The buyer on the second floor, daring to bid against the big shot on the third floor, was not often seen.
And gradually started to suppress the third floor.
At this moment, in the box on the third floor.
A fairy clan girl with butterfly wings on her back, was pouting and sitting on the sofa.
This was a flower demon from the fairy clan, small in stature, extremely beautiful, her ears like an elf’s, looked very cute.
Hearing the second floor raised the price to ten million, the face of the flower demon changed instantly.
“Damn it! Is it those damn orcs trying to deliberately pit us? How would the people on the second floor need Tears of Asha? They must be maliciously raising the price!” The flower demon girl said angrily.
The top forces were all on the third and fourth floors.
The people in the second floor’s private rooms, in their eyes, were at most nouveau riche.
These people wouldn’t have use for Tears of Asha, and whether they had ten million or not was a gamble.
It was highly likely that they were maliciously raising the price, deliberately harming themselves.
Recently, the fairy clan’s Dreamy Forest had a significant conflict with the orc’s army. Although there was no outbreak of a large-scale war, friction was constant.
The more the girl thought, the more she felt the orcs were behind it.
“I doubt it, nobody knows we want to buy the Tears of Asha, how could those orcs possibly know it’s us?” a fairy guard beside her analyzed.
“Then who else would keep increasing the price to this extent and besides, we could get the information about the Trade Alliance auctioning Tears of Asha, so the orcs could’ve also gotten the news,” the flower demon girl argued back.
The fairy guard wasn’t able to explain it.
It was all their own speculation, “What should we do next? The clan leader told us to bring back Tears of Asha, but the price now exceeds the amount of Warfire Coins we brought.”
Tears of Asha, it was something the clan leader repeatedly emphasized to them.
Whether or not the construction of the ‘Ultimate Balance’ can revive the glory of the Fairy Clan, the ‘Tears of Asha’ is a very crucial step in the process.
If they fail to bring it back this time, they will still face the harassment of the orcs.
The Fairy Clan was once glorious, but the difference in numbers compared to the orcs has now become huge, and this quantity has fully compensated for the gap in quality.
Yet, the item they were determined to get at all costs…
Suddenly, someone on the second floor raised the price all at once to ten million.
This was already beyond the amount of money they had brought. Even if they went back to their clan to get more money now, they would not be able to gather enough during the auction.
Moreover, they suspected that the orcs were maliciously bidding up the price.
If they followed suit and raised the price, they would end up being the gullible victims.
On stage.
The auctioneer could barely hide his joy and directly asked the third-floor private box, “One hundred and five million Warfire Coins for once, is there anyone else who wishes to bid?”
All the spectators also turned their gaze to the third floor.
But this time the third floor remained silent, apparently approving of this price.
After the auctioneer confirmed for a third time!
Bang!
With a slam of the hammer, the Tears of Asha were finally bought by someone in the second-floor private box.
Once they had the Tears of Asha…
After they returned and collected a few other materials, they could build a wishing well.
Materials could be obtained directly from the wishing function of the wishing well.
However, the auctioneer wasn’t as excited after slamming the hammer.
He wondered who the guy on the third floor was. His operation seemed more like a malicious bidding, pranking him a lot.
The money he had managed to save was gone now, leaving only a small amount.
Fortunately, the Tears of Asha were indeed precious and he had a use for them, so it wasn’t a loss.
Before long, the staff brought over the Tears of Asha, and Fang Hao paid the corresponding Warfire Coins to complete the transaction.
The auction was still in progress.
Since most of his money was spent, Fang Hao did not buy anything else.
Not until five o’clock in the afternoon, when the auction ended, did a few people leave the auction house.
…
Having left the auction house, Fang Hao and his companions had dinner at a tavern.
As they prepared to return, there were few pedestrians on the slender street.
As they moved forward, a figure swiftly passed by and blocked their way.
This was a fairy girl, the size of a Barbie doll, with butterfly wings on her back.
The next second, the fairy girl’s body instantly grew in size, turning into a height of around one and a half meters, with pointed ears, a loli-girl.
“Is there something you need?” Fang Hao curiously looked at the fairy girl.
The Fairy Clan, in their original form, were about the size of a Barbie doll, and could even stand in the palm of a human’s hand.
However, the Fairy Clan had a spell that allowed them to resemble humans in size for a short period of time.
The fairies working in the Trade Alliance also maintained their human-sized state while working.
The fairy girl looked at Fang Hao, then glanced at the others, and calmly said, “I know you bought the Tears of Asha, which are very important to us fairies, I hope you can give it to me.”
Fang Hao looked at the fairy girl, without needing to guess, also knew that she was the person who bid from the third floor.
“Two million!”
The fairy girl frowned, “What?”
Seeing the fairy girl’s expression, Fang Hao was slightly taken aback, “You don’t plan on getting them for free, do you?”
“You will get the friendship of the Dreamy Forest and become our friend.”
…Apparently, she still wants them for free!
“Forget it, you can save your friendship for someone else.” Fang Hao said, and he prepared to leave with his companions.
The fairy girl’s expression immediately became serious, and she asked coldly, “What do you mean?”
“I spent ten million to come here and make friends with you? Aren’t you overestimating the fairy clan a bit?” Fang Hao began to speak sternly.
This woman, she’s lost her mind.
I bought it with my money, and she just wants to take it away with a sentence about friendship, I don’t know whether this girl is dumb or if she considers me as dumb.
Whoosh!
At that moment, several fairy guards surged from all around, surrounding them.
The fairy girl revealed a smug smile, “Don’t worry, we won’t kill you, only take the Tears of Asha, and there will be some compensation later.”
Having said that, her delicate white hand slightly waved, and the guards around her began to close in.
