Chapter 85 Property Auction (1/2)
The Imperial City Hotel looked like The Oriental Pearl Tower, it was around 300 square meters tall. However, it was this small space that hid a top auction hall, it was also one of the few halls that could be rented!
The owner of the Imperial City Restaurant was the founding father, Grand Mage Antonio. He was a powerful Mage that comprehended the power of space.
However, all his children liked doing business, and thus to help his children, this Grand Mage almost exhausted all the mana in his body to augment space magic onto the top floor of the hotel. It expanded the narrow room into a huge space as big as 1/5 of a city.
There was still a few minutes before the auction began. Dumb Fox from Triumphant Midnight, Ghost Eyes from Hunter's Guild, The Heavenly Shield from Ironwall Empire, Dustless from Shadow Devil Workshop, and even Angel Descent from Prague City, Forest Soul Guild from Sunshine City were all present.
Their aura on the whole fourth floor was so overwhelming that it was suffocating, unable to breathe smoothly.
Meanwhile, at the staircase, another sound could be heard.
”We're here.”
A clear and melodious sound could be heard. Qiu Yuan looked around curiously with her iconic ponytail. The beautiful and lovely young girl attracted many people's attention. Besides those guild leaders who had to keep a straight face to pretend to be calm and strict, most people couldn't help but look at the direction of the sound.
Behind Qiu Yuan was Zheng Ziliang dressed in a slim fit long robe. He smiled and followed behind her, choosing a seat randomly. They sat together and talked.
Lin Jie collected his gaze in doubt and sent a message to Zheng Ziliang. ”What are the both of you here for?”
Zheng Ziliang raised his head in surprise, scanning the people present. ”Jie, you are really here! Where are you? Why didn't I see you? Come and sit together.”
”Lower your head,” Lin Jie said, ”What are you here for?”
Zheng Ziliang quietened down obediently and said, ”To buy property!”
”Buy property?”
”Yes, you know that Sky Provisions Shop in the City of Light, right? I heard that its net profit was up to dozens of gold coins every day! It can definitely make a fortune if it invites investments or sells its naming rights,” Zheng Ziliang said as he smiled, ”I am planning to buy a shop and put the Sky Provisions Shop down! How about that? Want in?”
”Do your head.” Lin Jie smiled bitterly and said seriously, ”Those participating in the auction are all big bosses from guilds, try not to provoke them. If a shop really caught your eye, then remember to equip the Hermit Helmet. After buying the Land Deed, go offline immediately.”
”Is it really that scary?” Zheng Ziliang scratched his head.
”Listen to me!” Lin Jie said solemnly.
Lin Jie saw Zheng Ziliang and Qiu Yuan whispering in the distance, and heaved a sigh of relief in ease, continuing to drink. Something seems to be wrong with Baili Changcheng, he was keeping a straight face. If someone walked past him and looked at him, his blade-like aura would erupt.
”What happened to you?” Lin Jie wondered.
”This can make me look cooler!” Baili Changcheng grinned and straightened his cloak on his head.
Lin Jie. ”…”
As time went by, more and more players came to the fourth floor. It was not limited to the guild leaders, but also many workshop leaders. There were even lone wolves who came to be onlookers and so on.
The hall gradually became more crowded, making the previously harsh atmosphere a lot more relaxing.
At the same time, the space in the middle of the hall fluctuated, as though a black hole was formed out of thin air! Slowly, a woman with blond hair walked out from the space. She was a standard Western beauty dressed in a bunny costume and had an explosively hot body.
”The auction hall is about to be opened, everyone, welcome to the auction!” The woman slightly bowed. The males could not help but blink their eyes as her huge chest bounced up and down.
”Hehe, hehe” A salacious Bandit called ”Han Emperor's Uprising” rubbed his hands and rushed into the space impatiently, planning to take advantage of her.
Little did he expect that the bunny girl would stretch out her hand, saying with a smile, ”I'm sorry sir, but you're not qualified to enter.”
Han Emperor's Uprising froze. Being the first to act in public was upsetting, so he barked, ”On what basis?”
”Those with less than 300 City of Light reputation are not allowed to enter, sorry.” The bunny girl's voice gradually became colder.
Han Emperor's Uprising was skeptical about it. He activated sprint and ran towards the space. With a leap, he was almost going to force his way in! Unexpectedly, the spiral showed its teeth that was like a jackal, swallowing him up with a gulp.
Death!
”Whoever wants to barge in forcefully, I will not stop you,” said the bunny girl calmly.
”Laughable.” Dumb Fox stood up and walked in bringing a beauty. They entered successfully. Then, the guild leaders got up one by one. Lin Jie shared a look with Baili Changcheng, both of their reputations had reached the requirement.
Dominance's reputation was only a little over 70, but as one of the regular customer of Imperial City Hotel, the bunny girl gave him the privilege to enter. This made Dominance feel like he gained much face.
Zheng Ziliang and Qiu Yuan cleared dungeons regularly, so together with the reputation brought by the dungeon's First Clear, they just nicely had the qualifications to enter.
Just as they entered the auction hall, everyone was shocked!
They had thought that the auction hall at the top was at most a little bigger, but it actually—looked like the Colosseum. The space was stacked by magic, no matter where one was, they could clearly see the auction platform in the center.
The stars in the night sky were actually countless exhibits. As long as one tapped them, they would drop down.
