Chapter 117 The Start

Qian Duoduo got 480 gold coins which equaled to more than 40,000 yuan after selling the three groups of rare potions! This was a sky-high price and the price of the last group was even higher than that of the first group because the competition was fiercer.

The appetizer alone had created fierce competition, which made everyone present astonished. But Xiaofeng’s face darkened because the potions were very popular and he had to deliver it with great difficulty.

“Since the appetizers are finished, our auction will get started officially! This is the first item at our auction! The 15th-level golden one-handed shield! Look at its property!”

The attributes of these items sold at this auction had already been published in the forum in advance, but everyone present was shocked and excited after seeing the real item!

Everyone present was staring at the small golden shield on the booth with desire. This was definitely a piece of excellent equipment which could increase the player’s defense by 30 points!

“I believe that everyone here can understand the value of the shield. This might be the most valuable item among the equipment for all the professions. It is the first item to be sold at our auction, but it’s also valuable and precious. So, the auction officially starts! The starting price is 100 gold coins and the price increase must be more than 1 gold coin.”

“I give 110 gold coins! I hope that the players present can give it to me.”

“120 gold coins! This item definitely belongs to me!”

…

Qian Duoduo stopped speaking and players immediately started to bid for this item, but most of them were single players. The competition was fierce but the major guilds didn’t get involved yet. They were still watching and waiting for the same item – the guild token, which was the more valuable item sold at this auction!

If they spent a lot of gold coins buying the other nine items, they were likely to fail to get the last guild token!

“300 gold coins. It belongs to our War Spirit Hall.”

But finally, a major guild was attracted to the extraordinary attributes of the golden shield and joined the competition. The voice came from one of the private rooms and Xiaofeng immediately recognized him. It was War Spirit Knife and he directly increased the price of this item to 300 gold coins.

“War Spirit Hall is just an insignificant guild. We Doomsday League can give 350 gold coins.”

The noisy players standing in the main hall immediately became silent after hearing War Spirit Hall’s words. But after a while, someone sitting in the corner suddenly gave a higher price.

“Oh! It’s you! Doomsday God of War! You’re a wild warrior and why do you compete with me for a one-handed shield? I’ll give 400 gold coins to get this item!”

War Spirit Knife continued. Players standing in the main hall couldn’t see the inside of the private room but players in the private room could overlook the entire hall. He looked down and found that it was Doomsday God of War who was competing with him. War Spirit Knife immediately gave a higher price with anger.

“It’s strange. The attributes of this equipment are clear and all players of warrior professions can use it. So it’s suitable for me! 450 gold coins!” Doomsday God of War said sharply.

The original fierce competition of the item directly became a fight between these two players. Other people became silent and looked at them with interest. Of course, the price was too high and the single players who were not supported by the major guilds couldn’t afford it.

“Well, do you really want to compete with me? But I hope that you can realize your real strength. After all, you’re standing in the hall while I’m sitting in the private room. 500 gold coins!”

War Spirit Knife said once again with sarcasm and complacency.

His ticket for the private room was given by Qian Duoduo. She still had a strong aversion to the Midsummer and the Doomsday League. But she also remembered that War Spirit Knife once helped them. So she especially gave a ticket to him.

War Spirit Sky, War Spirit Ziyi, and other senior members of the guild were shocked after seeing the ticket for the private room. Players could by these tickets but most of them belonged to the senior members of the major guilds. War Spirit Knife was complacent after receiving the ticket.

At this moment, War Spirit Knife also seized the opportunity to show off. Doomsday God of War’s face immediately darkened.

Like Midsummer Rose, he was unqualified to buy the ticket. He got the hall ticket in the black market at a high price. So he was furious after hearing War Spirit Knife’s words.

“Hey! This is nothing to speak of! I offer 600 gold coins!”

But War Spirit Knife incurred public wrath and another player offered a higher price in anger. He was also from the major guild which had a higher ranking than the War Spirit Hall.

“Yes! I disagree! I offer 650 gold coins!”

Another player immediately said. All of them were senior members or the best shield warriors of the major guilds. The guilds spent a fortune on fostering them.

“6… 660 gold coins…”

War Spirit Knife wiped his sweat and dared not show up. He said carefully to avoid incurring the public wrath.

Many senior members of the War Spirit Hall were sitting in this private room and War Spirit Ziyi was one of them. She looked at the No.1 private room and was sure that Xiaofeng was in that place.

“I didn’t expect that the master of the Treasure Pavilion is such a young girl and it seems that she is very close to Master Healer,” War Spirit Sky said in a low voice.

“They worked together in the Novice Village. I don’t know the relationship between them but they were close to each other. Master Healer once helped her to complete the trial mission of the instance zone,” said War Spirit Knife.

“I don’t think they are siblings. Are they lovers? Maybe Master Healer likes young girls. Qian Duoduo is beautiful but she is too young.”

War Spirit Sky shook his head. War Spirit Ziyi looked away from the No.1 private room and then stared at Qian Duoduo who was standing elegantly on the stand.

Finally, War Spirit Knife got the Militia Shield at the price of 900 gold coins. In fact, many other players were richer than him, but they were ambitious and were focusing on the guild token. Therefore, they didn’t want to spend money on items presented in the beginning.

Therefore, the previous auctions were more conservative and other players didn’t compete with him for the sake of the War Spirit Hall, otherwise, its price might be higher than 90,000 yuan and may reach 100,000 yuan. Its attributes were excellent, after all.

The auction continued in an orderly manner. All the golden equipment was at level 15 and their prices were about 1,000 gold coins. This was an appropriate price.

But the eighth auction item was an exception. It was a skill book collected by Xiaofeng in the Abandoned Town. It was finally sold at a price of 1,800 gold coins, which showed that the skill books were more valuable than the equipment. The price of an excellent skill book reached 180,000 yuan!

“This is the 9th item sold at our auction and is also the second last item. It’s just a piece of rare equipment but it’s valuable! Please look at its attributes!”

Fast Ring

Quality: Rare

Equipment Type: ornament

Equipment level: 15

Equipment requirement: all professions

Attributes

Transitional speed +5%

Attack speed +5%

Singing speed +5%

“This is a piece of jewelry, and it is a ring! I believe that all of you know its value. So the auction kicks off! The starting price is 100 gold coins and the price increase must be higher than one gold coin.”

Xiaofeng was also surprised after seeing this item. This rare ring was not collected by him and he also didn’t read the information about these items in the forum. So he didn’t expect that there was a rare ring in this auction.

Besides, it had excellent attributes and Xiaofeng was attracted to it. The jewelry, especially the ring, was rare and valuable and players could wear four of them at the same time. Xiaofeng only had two rings which were collected by him in the Novice Village when completing the mission. But none of the BOSSes he killed once dropped the ring.

It was rare and valuable, so Xiaofeng offered the price without hesitation.

“200 gold coins!”

There was no fierce competition and all the players present were looking at the No.1 private room of Xiaofeng.

There were 20 private rooms in the Treasure Pavilion and everyone was clear that players sitting in the No.1 private room must be famous and influential. So some of them have discussed the identity for a long time.

The people in the No.1 private room suddenly offered a price for the last but one item at the auction and everyone was attracted to it. Players standing on the third floor and those sitting in the private room were looking at this room in curiosity.

“It’s weird. His voice is familiar.”

“Who is sitting in the No.1 private room? Do you know his identity?”

In addition to other players, Qian Duoduo who was standing on the stand was also astonished. She knew that it was Xiaofeng, but she was surprised because she didn’t expect that Xiaofeng needed this ring. If she knew it earlier, she would not sell this ring at the auction.

“200 gold coins one time! Does anyone else want to offer a price?”

But Qian Duoduo immediately regained her composure and continued to preside over the auction.

But no one offered a higher price after hearing her words and everyone was silent, which was weird.

“200 gold coins two times! Does anyone else want to offer a higher price? This rare ring will belong to the friend in the No.1 private room if there is no higher price.”

The situation became more strange and an uneasy calm descended on the hall. No one offered a higher price and it was like the tranquility before the storm. Qian Duoduo was also stunned but she repeated once again and finally dropped the mallet after making sure that there was no higher price.

But she thought that this price was too low and wondered why other players didn’t compete with Brother Xiao.

“So congratulations to friends in the No.1 private room! This Fast Ring belongs to you!”

The servants took the Fast Ring down and then Qian Duoduo walked up to the stand with the last tray on her hands.

In an instant, all the players present and viewers who were watching this auction were staring at this tray covered by the red cloth at the same time.

There was only one square object under the red cloth, which was not big, but everyone became excited after seeing it. This was the highlight of the auction!

“This is the last item at this auction! The guild token!”

The red cloth was removed and everyone could see the black wooden sign. The wooden sign was engraved with a gold letter – Order!
