54 The Establishment of the Guilds (1/2)
While Kazuma was still busy inside the dungeon, in the auction, the whole venue started to erupt in chaos when the first Guild Token appeared. When the attendant carried the container of the Guild Token, the auctioneer started to explain the content.
”Now, every one of you must have heard of the rumor of the first Guild Token in this auction. We are happy to announce that the rumor is true and the first Guild Token is still in our hands. The first-ever Guild Token that exists in the whole wide world!” the auctioneer said and signals the attendant to open the container. The gold token that everyone wanted to own finally appeared before their eyes.
Hearing that and seeing the token before them, the whole venue exploded in commotion as the players suddenly went on the hype.
”As you all know, the first guild that will exist will be a very prestigious one as they will be able to get the guild manor existing in the middle of the city. They will be able to create a strong foundation already and the title ”The Godfathers” will be granted to the members of the guild! Now, for the awaited bidding, we will start the bidding amount to 10,000 gold coins!”
Everyone who is backed up and ready to bid millions of gold suddenly got the urge to shout, ”SO CHEAP!” However, the first one to break the ice is none other than Harmless Sparrow.
”150,000 gold!”
Hearing this, the guild leaders started to bid too.
”200,000 Gold!”
”500,000 gold!”
”625,000 gold!”
The whole venue was totally in chaos as the players keep on outbidding their competitors. If Manato was here in the venue, he would be really amazed by the enthusiasm of the players for a mere guild token that he does not find any value of.
Finally, the whole situation escalated to the point that the first guild token was now very expensive that many other players who wanted to get the Guild Token for themselves cannot bid anymore because of the ridiculous amount of money the pool already has and they can't pay it if they try to bid on it. However, not all gave up, three guild leaders are still trying to outbid each other.
It was Harmless Sparrow, Black Hue, and the person that almost killed Manato in the past, Kazuki, also known by his IGN, Kaisar. Kaisar is the one dominating the three guild leaders since he quickly bid 500 million gold. It was an insane amount of gold and not only that, it is a very insane amount that even the auctioneer was stunned and can't speak that much. The amount earlier was just 1 million gold but it skyrocketed to 500 million gold all of a sudden.
Kaisar looked smug as he looked at the two competitors. Black Hue shook his head in dismay, meaning he withdraws on the battle. Kaisar was celebrating inwardly when Harmless Sparrow raised her hand.
”600 million”
His budget is 2 Billion but he can't afford to spend more than that because it will not be a good idea to spend it without even knowing the outcome yet. But he is quite sure he will secure the token in this attempt now. He raised his hands and gave in his final bid.
