218 The Real Number One (1/2)

Fearless' idea really was effective...

Not long after Wang Yu had used the loudhailer, all the Pugilists in the vicinity of Twilight City had gathered at the shop.

Pugilists were a job that everyone had looked down upon. It was only because of the existence of Wang Yu that reputation of Pugilists slowly improved. The sheer number of players that had chosen to play as Pugilists right now was simply inconceivable when > had first started.

Because of the slow rate of growth of magic damage, most players that chose to play Pugilists ended up choosing to become Fighters when they completed their job advancement quests.

And the Martial Savant was the next stage after becoming a fighter.

There were many new players that felt that the skills that Pugilist had were extremely useful against monsters and players alike. Those that were more confident in their gameplay often chose to play at the front lines along side the tanks when clearing dungeons.

The most important players in dungeons were the tanks. A good tank was vital to the success of a team when fighting a boss, this was especially so when they were fighting Independent mode bosses. A Pugilist that could act as a tank would be immensely beneficial to the team.

The most important aspect of a tank was their physical defense. A skill like [Golden Bell Canopy] not only increased both types of defenses but it could even attract all form of damage to the user. A skill like this was simply a godsend to Pugilist's that acted as tanks.

A Pugilist tank was now all the rage in large guilds. Wang Yu's announcement had attracted the attention of all sorts of players, causing a mad rush to compete for this rare skill.

Not only did players in the dungeon quit their attempt to vie for this item, there were even players that returned from other cities to do so. There were even players that tried to add Wang Yu as a friend to ask for further discounts.

Not long after, the street that their store was located was flooded with players that were here for the auction. It really was a rare sight to see so many Pugilist's gathered together.

”Fearless really is a genius, I can't believe that there are so many players here.” Wang Yu thought to himself as he sat in the shop watching more players arrive.

After assessing that the majority of interested players had already arrived, Wang Yu walked out of the store.

The players burned with passion as they watched Wang Yu walk out of the store. If it had not been for the miraculous feats that this man had performed as a Pugilist, it was likely that all of them would still be scorned and looked down upon by other players. To these players, Wang Yu wasn't simply their idol, he was their messiah.

But because Wang Yu enjoyed going around and completing quests, these players hardly ever got an opportunity to see him. Even if they couldn't buy the [Golden Bell Canopy] skill book, they could at least get a glimpse of Wang Yu.

”I got this book by exchanging the event points that I received from the new years event. I don't need it anymore so I want to auction it off. I don't really know how this works so I'm just going to sell it to the highest bidder. You guys can begin!” Wang Yu cleared his throat before he spoke in a clear, commanding tone.

Because of how rare a Pugilist player was, equipments and skill books for Pugilist's were extremely cheap. These experts that were handpicked by large guilds were in no way strapped for cash.

”50 gold!” A Pugilist shouted as he started off the auction.

Wang Yu did not set the starting price, but this Pugilist wanted to show off his wealth to Wang Yu, his idol. This price was not only meant to show off, it was also to ward off the poorer players.

”55!” Another player shouted.

Very soon, the price for the [Golden Bell Canopy] had rapidly risen to 120 gold before it finally stopped.

Even though this skill was great, the price of 120 gold had already exceeded it's estimated market value.

”121!” A player suddenly shouted.
