Chapter 118 - The Sky-high Price
After hearing Qian Duoduo’s words, everyone standing on the third floor remained silent as if they were still immersed in their memories. No one bid for the token and everyone was staring at the black wooden plate on the stand without saying anything.
“Oh, no one bids for this item and it seems that this guild token will go unsold.”
Qian Duoduo was not anxious at all and she said with a teasing smile.
“No! Wait! I’ll offer a price! I offer… 1,000 gold coins!”
Not surprisingly, someone standing in the hall suddenly said and offered a price. Qian Duoduo didn’t give the starting price but this player directly increased the price to 1000 gold coins.
In other words, the price for the guild token reached 100,000 gold coins at the beginning of the auction!
“1,200 gold coins!”
“1,500!”
“We Knife Guild offers 2,000 gold coins!”
…
The auction for the guild token didn’t create fierce competition and there were only several players who were offering a price.
But every player who was watching the auction clearly knew that the guild token was very attractive and the strong contenders would only show up at the final stage of the auction.
“Playing house ought to be stopped. We Doomsday League offers 10,000 gold coins.”
Finally, someone standing in the hall offered 10,000 gold coins and it was Doomsday God who was sitting beside Doomsday God of War.
“You’re right. Players will only bring shame to themselves if they don’t have enough money. War Spirit Hall offers 100,000 gold coins.”
A player sitting in another private room suddenly said after Doomsday God offered a price.
The price was ten times what the Doomsday League had offered!
Everyone present suddenly became silent and Doomsday God’s face darkened. Ordinary players or small guilds realized that they had no chance of success, so they got out of the race voluntarily.
“We Tough Man Alliance offers 200,000 gold coins.”
But it was obvious that 100,000 gold coins were not high enough and someone else immediately offered a higher price.
“300,000 gold coins.”
“We Death Guild offers 500,000 gold coins! We’ll withdraw from this competition if the final price is higher than 500,000 gold coins.”
Another player immediately said and offered a price, which was their highest price. The first guild token was priceless but only those major guilds had the ability to compete for it. For the average-sized guilds, 500,000 gold coins, which equaled to 50,000,000 yuan, had reached the limit of their capacity.
“We Midsummer Guild offers one million gold coins.”
They heard a cold and pleasant voice of a female player. Her voice was refreshing as if it had a mysterious charm. Everyone was sure that the master of the sound was a rare beauty only by listening to her voice.
Players present couldn’t help but look at the direction of the female player. She was outstanding and detached. Although she was standing with other players in the room, she looked unapproachable. She was wearing a white mask and looked like the beautiful and pure lotus on the snow peak. They couldn’t see her appearance clearly but everyone was sure that she possessed great beauty.
This was a rare beauty and men would be attracted to her posture.
The name of Midsummer Rose on her head was eye-catching.
Many male players were staring blankly at her but then they were surprised at the price offered by her. This strange female player increased the price for the guild token to one hundred million yuan!
Countless viewers were impressed by her courage and resolution but it was obviously not the final price.
“Glory offers two million gold coins.”
Finally, some players who remained silent from the beginning of the auction joined the competition at this moment.
“It’s Brother Nine of Guild. The real competition has begun and we only need to watch them offer prices.”
In another private room, War Spirit Sky sat down and withdrew from the competition and started to watch other guilds offer price. The fund prepared for this auction was limited, so he couldn’t afford to compete with other guilds for this token.
“Well, where’s Ziyi?”
But War Spirit Sky looked back and suddenly found that Ziyi was missing. He asked strangely.
“I don’t know. She might have gone out.”
War Spirit Knife looked around and found that War Spirit Ziyi was not in the private room. He shook his head and said.
“Hurry up and ask her to come back and stop running around. Our tickets are offered by the master of the Treasure Pavilion and I’m afraid that she’ll be a nuisance.”
At the same time, Xiaofeng was sitting at the NO.1 private room. He had a dry throat and was eager to drink a bottle of cold water.
Two million gold coins!
This equaled two hundred million yuan!
In fact, Xiaofeng had already known that this game world would bring great impact and wealth, but he didn’t expect that the price for a guild token had reached two hundred million yuan!
He felt dizzy with delight and started to think about how to spend this money. Ordinary people may even not spend all of this sum of money in their lifetime. Besides, they were in an era of economic depression.
“Bang bang bang!”
Suddenly, someone knocked at the door of his private room. Xiaofeng was surprised and then opened the door.
“Sir, this is the equipment you just bought, the Fast Ring.”
A beautiful female player was standing outside his room. Xiaofeng remembered that she worked for Qian Duoduo. She gave the equipment which Xiaofeng had bought before to him.
“Sir, Boss Qian told us not to take your money. This is free.”
The beautiful female player was looking at Xiaofeng in secret with curiosity.
The No.1 private room was definitely a mysterious place for the players and the members of the Treasure Pavilion. They also didn’t know the identity of players who were sitting in this room. Qian Duoduo asked her to give the equipment to this male player for free and she became more curious about this man.
It was said that even the president of the Dynasty could only stay in the No. 2 private room. Who could sit in the No.1 private room? Besides, Boss Qian personally asked her to give the equipment sold at the auction to this man for free. This man must be powerful.
But unluckily, Xiaofeng was wearing the mask with his character name concealed. This female player still didn’t find his identity after looking at him secretly for a while.
Xiaofeng immediately accepted the Fast Ring and wore it without saying anything. He was the only player who had reached level 15 in the whole server and no one else could wear the ring.
“You are really here.”
Xiaofeng was about to close the door but another graceful figure appeared in the doorway. War Spirit Ziyi walked elegantly toward him.
The female player of the Treasure Pavilion failed to find Xiaofeng’s identity but War Spirit Ziyi immediately recognized him. His equipment remained the same, after all.
“Miss, please don’t break into other people’s private room. This will put us in an awkward situation.”
War Spirit Ziyi was about to enter the No.1 private room and the female player immediately stopped her. They had the responsibility to conceal the identity of the owner of the private room, so she didn’t want anyone to break in while she was standing at the doorway.
“It’s OK. You can leave now.”
Xiaofeng shook his head and waved his hands to let the beautiful female player leave. War Spirit Ziyi was a nuisance and would definitely get him into trouble.
“Yes.”
The beautiful female player looked at Xiaofeng and War Spirit Ziyi and then left with hesitation.
“You got the guild token, didn’t you? I believe that no one except you can get this item! BOSS above level 30 can drop the guild token!”
War Spirit Ziyi immediately asked without hesitation. Her slender and attractive body was close to Xiaofeng and he could even smell the scent of her.
The female player who went a few paces suddenly staggered after hearing the conversation. She was stunned and immediately walked away. She dared not listen to them anymore.
“Hey! Ziyi is here.”
The Nicholas Brothers had keen eyes and immediately found War Spirit Ziyi.
“Hi, cousin.”
The teenage player – Shangguan Aochen greeted her and immediately entered the room without looking back at her.
“Hey! You naughty kid! Why are you in this private room? Why didn’t you tell me?”
War Spirit Ziyi immediately frowned with anger after seeing him. She went up and was about to hold him by the ear.
“Stop bullying me! My big brother will protect me!” Shangguan Aochen immediately shouted.
“Who is your big brother? Does Shangguan Aoxing enter the game? I remember that he is at home.” War Spirit Ziyi was surprised and then asked him strangely.
“No. Master Healer is my big brother and I’ll work for him from now on!” Shangguan Aochen said with pride and didn’t realize how shameless he was.
“What?”
War Spirit Ziyi pointed at him and didn’t know what to say. When did the second young master of the Shangguan family become so shameless?
“We Dynasty offers three million gold coins.”
Another player offered a higher price and interrupted their conversation. The voice came from the next private room. War Spirit Ziyi and Shangguan Aochen looked grave after hearing the voice.
“It’s Crown Prince.”
Crown Prince was a distinguished name that indicated the status of the player.
The ordinary players would be treated as traitors and heretics if they called themselves Crown Prince.
But the owner of this name was different. He was a legendary figure.
He was the founder of the Dynasty which was the largest guild in the North and in the online games over recent years.
No one clearly knew how much energy and heritage the Dynasty had. But they were sure that all guilds in the North tended to work for the Dynasty. They would work together and fight to protect the Dynasty and any enemy of the Dynasty would be killed by them!
It only took a few months for the Dynasty to become the biggest guild in the Huaxia District and they didn’t even meet any obstacles. One of the reasons was that most of the guilds in the North chose to submit to them when the Dynasty appeared.
It was said that all the core members of the Dynasty were influential figures in the business and political or even the military field in the North!
And the president of such a big guild was called Crown Prince. Everyone was sure that this name was meaningful.
In fact, Crown Prince became one of the top ten players in the Hall of Fame because of his influence instead of his strength!
The Dynasty had already entrenched itself in the North over the past several years. No one clearly knew how powerful it was.
