1050 The Shocking Dark Gold Shine! (2/2)
The active ability on Reef's dark gold shield was an area-of-effect elemental attack with a blinding effect, while the active ability on this shield was a single-target attack. It was a little similar to Sheyan's 'Hornrage'. After activating it, the user would be able to sprint at a terrifying speed and collide with an opponent. The damage value was (35% of the user's HP) + (defence value x 4). In addition, it would slam the opponent ten meters back and paralyse the opponent for five seconds.
The emergence of this dark gold shield, despite not making waves as huge as the Sorcerer's Stone did, still triggered a frenzied bidding war. The final price it was sold for was 530,000 utility points plus a dark gold equipment.
Following that, the two soul crystals Sheyan provided appeared together on the stage with various other miscellaneous items and unknown mysterious items.
The result was beyond Sheyan's expectation. At first, there were eight people bidding for the soul crystals, many among them probably just trying their luck. The people who were just trying their luck were slowly eliminated until eventually, only four bidders were left. These four bidders looked like they really wanted the crystals. They were engaged in an intense competition, driving the price all the way up.
By now, the bidding price had soared to the sky-high price of 100,000 utility points for both soul crystals.
One of the bidders appeared to be a reserve duty Lieutenant General. He initiated the conversation with a cold voice.
”My next world is going to be the world of Narnia. If my baby runs out of energy in that damn place, it's equivalent to my life coming to an end. I will have these two crystals at all costs. Try and keep bidding if you don't believe me.”
In auctions, direct personal threats were often useless, because besides meeting in realm wars, the odds of meeting each other again after this were miniscule. Not to mention, the face and identity of everyone here were hidden.
However, the reserve duty Lieutenant General did not only hurl out a verbal threat, he also expressed his determination with his next bid. He increased the price by 30,000 utility points. This kind of strong momentum immediately repelled one of his fellow bidders. When the price soared to 160,000 utility points, another one withdrew.
The miner smiled at Sheyan while he said, ”Congratulations, Mr. Colonel. Normally, even if these two crystals are sold to someone who's in need of them, the price will not go beyond 100,000 utility points. You've already made an extra profit of 60% as it stands. That's quite a windfall.”
Sheyan could only smile to that. He did not expect this unexpected fortune, but after seeing the millions of utility points involved in the deal for the Sorcerer's Stone, he already felt numb.
While they were chatting, the price of the two crystals had reached 200,000 utility points. In the end, the bidder who had remained silent all this while managed to have the last laugh. He obtained the crystals for the price 210,000 utility points, thus defeating the reserve duty Lieutenant General.
The organizers apparently did not expect that the two crystals, which had an actual price of 100,000 utility points, would be sold for a price over 100% higher. That was a huge surprise in this auction.
The transaction price for the Sorcerer's Stone might have exceeded 2.5 million utility points, but that was a mid-tier legendary item, so it was expected to be expensive. It was well worth this price! If the transaction price of the Sorcerer's Stone had been 100% higher than its actual worth, it would have reached 6 million utility points at least.
”I wonder what item they've saved for the last,” Sheyan said as he looked at his rapidly increasing utility points. It had nearly reached 400,000. At this time, he was in a good mood and could not help but say with some interest, ”Even the Sorcerer's Stone was used to liven the atmosphere in the middle of the auction. I'm really anticipating the final item.”
The miner laughed and said, ”We should see it soon. Unfortunately, Mr. Colonel, you're a bit late to the party. There might've been something you need among the hundreds of items auction before this.”
While they were conversing joyfully, the next auction item was placed on the stage. Although it was covered with a layer of velvet, the faint dark golden glow it emitted shined through! There's no way it's another dark gold shield, right? thought Sheyan.
At this time, the host's passionate voice transmitted over. ”Gunners in the audience, may I have your attention? The following item is a weapon that exists only in legends! It will become your most loyal companion!”
As soon as Sheyan heard the words ”gunners in the audience”, his interest waned a little. Mogensha was not here right now. He himself had no use for this weapon.
However, the moment the velvet cloth was lifted, Sheyan was instantly jolted out of his daze. The dark golden glow was so bright it seemed to dazzle the eyes of every person there. The vague familiar outline of the weapon made Sheyan feel like his heart was hit by a heavy blow. When Sheyan saw the name engraved on the weapon, he could hardly even breathe!
The weapon he had longed for all this while had appeared in front of him in such an unexpected moment, in such an unexpected manner!
