Chapter 233: The Fight at the Auction House (1/2)
I invited He Yi, Murong Mingyue, and Beiming Xue into my party, granting them access to the VIP room, which they soon appeared in.
72 seconds until the auction starts!
The enormous auction hall was filled to the brim, bursting with people. Even those below Level 60 were here just to enjoy the spectacle. There was no other reason for them to come here. Ordinary players like them couldn’t afford the Purgatory Scepter or the Golden Scale Bow.
Also, the stats for the two items were freakish. I didn’t even know how many eyes in Floating Ice City and even the entire China server my items have attracted. Maybe even Candlelight Shadow had come!
……
”Bang!”
The bell sounded. They were preparing to start!
On the stage, an NPC auctioneer raised a longbow in her hand. This was the Golden Scale Bow. She said loudly, ”Golden Scale Bow, LV-75, Dark Gold-grade. Attack 240, Strength +50, Agility +42, increases 20% of max HP, base price 10000 gold. Bidding starts now!”
The Golden Scale Bow appeared on the system interface, and roused many gasps from Archer players. A longbow with 240 Attack could turn an ordinary archer into a powerful one. It was a treasure that many players could only dream of!
Quickly, a Level 71 archer raised a hand and said, ”20000 gold!”
Before he finished, someone else shouted, ”30000 gold!”
The bid from each player was confirmed by the system. If the player didn’t have enough gold in their account, they couldn’t bid at all.
After a minute of fervorous bidding, the Golden Scale Bow's final price stopped at 52500 gold, and was worth the same in RMB. This was about the true price of the longbow. Money was not paper. Even the wasteful young masters had to think for a moment.
On the stage, the auctioneer said, ”Player Spring Wind Drizzle 52500 gold, once!”
”Player Spring Wind Drizzle 52500 gold, twice!”
Seeing the transaction about to be confirmed, my heart rose to my throat. Why were there no spendthrifts?!
At this time, a voice came from a VIP room. ”80000 gold!”
He Yi walked to the window and looked. She laughed. ”Oh? Now that’s someone familiar.”
Indeed, the person on the other side of the auction house was the leader of Mad Dragon—Roaming Dragon Lu Chao. He had money, and no one dared to compete with him.
Coldmoon Rose leaned against Roaming Dragon, and smiled sweetly as though she was praising him. Roaming Dragon, his arm around the beauty, smiled even wider at her words. His hand covered in armor moved under Coldmoon Rose's cloak.
Roaming Dragon looked up and saw me, his gaze turned cold. He shouted, ”Hmph, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!”
I stared and stabbed the Purgatory Sword into the ground, gripping it with one hand. I sneered, ”Roaming Dragon!”
I took a deep breath. This guy was competing with women!
In relation to the workshop's reputation, we could not lose in equipment or women!
I didn't turn around, and grabbed next to me. I immediately got someone to lean to me. I looked down. Fuck, it was Murong Mingyue. I looked down, and her chest was suffocating!
Murong Mingyue froze, but then discovered Roaming Dragon's action. She smiled, and leaned her face against my chest, pretending to curl into me.
I released the sword, and wrapped around He Yi's shoulder with my right arm. He Yi didn’t struggle and smiled next to me, looking into the distance.
Roaming Dragon lost again. He only had Coldmoon Rose next to him. On his right side was Iron Pardon who was hard to touch.
Also, in terms of quality, while Coldmoon Rose was a good beauty, she was nothing compared to He Yi who was the beauty guild leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and famed throughout the world, nothing that Coldmoon Rose could rival. If that wasn’t enough, Murong Mingyue was the most beautiful priest of Floating Ice City, and also someone way beyond Coldmoon Rose.
Thus, Roaming Dragon let go of his woman, and I released the grasp on my two beauties. In reality, I was about to be thrown out.
At this time, someone else raised the price of the Golden Scale Bow to 100000 gold!
Roaming Dragon was furious and looked out the window, waving his fist and shouting, ”Hey! Which bastard is competing with me? I will have this bow. If I learn who raised the price, I will kill them!”
Everyone was shocked. The leader of Mad Dragon was so domineering!
Bidding again, Roaming Dragon shouted the price of 150000 gold, which became the final price. Undoubtedly, the bow would belong to Coldmoon Rose. But I wasn't worried. Beiming Xue could fight five archers of her skill on her own!
Ding~!
