CH 13
On the second day, before the auction began, Xiao Zhi and Teague entered the auction venue through a secret door in the lounge.
Because Xiao Zhi wanted to be anonymous for his special needs, this channel was exclusive for him, leading directly to a private room in the venue. No one would disturb him on the way.
A magical barrier was set up in the private room, and the people inside could see the outside world, but the people outside could not peek on the situation inside, and even the sound inside would not be heard at all.
In order to ensure the privacy of the guests, there is no waiter in the private room, only a delicate bell is placed on the table. When the guests inside have needs, they only need to ring the bell and a waiter will come to the cubicle outside the private room to ask about the needs of the guests.
The bidding is done through the magic crystal board on the desktop. It also does not require human assistance. It also provides an advance allowance of 3 million.
It was the first time that Xiao Zhi had experienced it, and he couldn’t help feeling that the life of a big man was probably so simple and boring.
He walked to the window and looked down. The window of the private room was facing the auction table and the view was amazing.
There were already many people seated in the spacious hall below, from all parts of the mainland.
In addition to the Xiyue clan and the Human clan, there are also the Wood Spirit clan and the Orc clan. There are also some people who can’t be seen clearly because of their cloaks. Seeing a little pale skin that was occasionally exposed, Xiao Zhi guessed that they might be the undead tribe of Hessian.
Xiao Zhi also saw the players in, they all had a book in their hands, and they seemed to be very serious. But as soon as Xiao Zhi read the book, he knew that these guys were either in the show world or in the water forum.
He also took out his book, and sure enough, today’s World Channel has been taken over by the auction.
“I just asked a scalper ticket seller, and an invitation letter actually cost me 300,000! Why didn’t he grab it!!”
“Don’t be fooled, the ticket must be fake. I spent 600,000 in the store before I got it. ”
“I worship the local tyrants, poverty stopped me outside the gate of the auction…”
“Blindly guess that the one who sold scalper tickets was from the Xiyue clan.”
“Xiyue clan +1”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I really want to find a rich woman to take to see the auction ah!”
“The rich woman said: Go away, you are so ugly that you affected her gaming experience.
” I am live streaming the [Xinghai Auction LIVE], everyone is welcome to watch . ”
“Thank you big brother for giving me the opportunity to experience the cloud! ”
“Thank you big brother for giving me the opportunity to experience the cloud! + 1”
“Thank you big brother for giving me the opportunity to experience the cloud! +2”
…
Soon after, the auction officially started.
The auctioneer, wearing the Xiyue clan’s gown, boarded the auction stage. After the welcome speech, the auction items were released one after another.
Xinghai Auction is worthy of being the largest auction in the entire continent. Those on stage are all treasures, from weapons and equipment to rare materials, even antiques and mysterious items, all appearing on stage.
Each piece of auction will cause a commotion on the player’s world channel. With the help of the contact book, players have become the most enthusiastic race on the mainland to participate in auctions.
Of course, from the perspective of the beholder-today’s Asanasi people are also laughing strangely at the book.
The Asanasi people are indeed the most difficult to understand race on the continent.
Xiao Zhi looked at the auction site below, and watched the players’ water world at the same time, he had a kind of onlookers’ fun.
Teague seized the opportunity to lean against the window, recording the information and price of the lot while observing the various interpersonal relationships below, presumably preparing for the next scam.
[e/n: lol]
When it comes to being a scammer, he takes it seriously..
After a while, a new item appeared, and Xiao Zhi divided his attention from the players’ rants and looked towards the stage.
What appeared was a bright red staff, which was made of some kind of gemstone. The whole thing appeared crystal clear, and there seemed to be lava flowing inside.
Obviously, this is a staff made of fire material.
The auctioneer introduced: “The Fire Staff Soulchaser, made of Uradis flame crystals, is the masterpiece of Baru Qiiang, the great master of Orc weapons. It is not only stronger than metal, but also resistant to high temperatures and resistant to fire. The spells have a 5% damage bonus, and-with exclusive attack effects.”
Hearing the name of Baru Qiang, everyone in the audience couldn’t help but get excited.
He was a legendary master of weapons. He had built weapons for many powerful people in his life. It can be said that everyone who holds the weapons he made became a giant in the end.
But after a short period of excitement, all the well-informed bigwigs present have doubts in their hearts.
But it is still early to the end of the auction, Master Baru Qiang’s works are also eligible to be placed in the last three important positions, right? Why is it out now?
The auctioneer continued to say, “Unfortunately, Great Master Baru Qiang was not able to finish this work. He died a hundred years ago when he went to Changyue Desert to look for rare materials.”
Everyone in the audience understands that it turned out to be a semi-finished product, so it’s no wonder that it can’t occupy the most critical position.
Xiao Zhi looked towards the soul chaser. The description of the item was as follows: the soul chaser (semi-finished product)
one- handed staff
Use level: 140
Spell attack power: 1423——? ? ?
Physical Attack: 1786——? ? ?
Attack range +2
Mana cohesion speed +5
Fire spell damage bonus: 5%——? ? ?
Attack effect: The special effect “Soul Chasing” is triggered randomly, the power of the skill is increased by 100%, the range is increased by 20%, and lasts for 30 seconds.
Description: The last work of the powerful master of Baru Qiang, but unfortunately it has not been completely finished, and it needs secondary processing. Please explore the processing method by yourself
In ZERO, ordinary weapons only have a dry attack power. Don’t even think about hitting, breaking defense, crit, and casting speed in the keyboard online game era.
Want to increase damage? Go to the point of the target yourself.
Want to increase the casting speed? Please practice by yourself.
Want to improve hits? Please practice by yourself.
Want to make bursts? Please practice by yourself.
From the perspective of attributes, the soul chaser is indeed a masterpiece, especially the accompanying soul chaser special effects.
On the Dazemenia subcontinent, there are very few weapons with special effects and only the most powerful ones can have them. As for the magic damage bonus, mana cohesion speed, and attack range bonus, these are all configurations that can only be possessed by top weapons.
But for the soul chaser, its current position is very awkward.
It has the attributes of an advanced weapon, but only has an attack power of the 140 level. Even because of the sturdiness of the material, the physical attack power surpasses the magic attack, so it works well.
Even more awkward is that the powerful Baru master has passed away and can no longer upgrade the soul chaser.
Xiao Zhi believed that the owner of the former soul chaser must have made many attempts, hoping to make it a real top weapon, but now that the soul chaser appeared here, the attempt must have failed.
As a low-level weapon, its price is too high for ordinary adventurers to afford it. As a high-level weapon, it is a bit worse, making the big guys feel tasteless.
But Xiao Zhi’s eyes were bright, this was the weapon he needed now.
The staff he is currently using is level 50, with an attack power less than 300. Now, he is trapped in the game and cannot leave and in order to ensure his survival, he desperately needs to become stronger quickly.
Hidden missions are hard to come by, and he doesn’t think he can meet another one right away. Then, obtaining a powerful weapon is the best option to boost his combat power in a short period of time.
The low-level but powerful soul chaser is just right for him. As for the question of money…
He has sold a lot of materials for 770,000 before, and the room comes with an advance allowance of 3 million. In addition, he has confidence in the items he has taken out for auction. Money is really not a problem.
Xiao Zhi now is no longer the poor man who used Chiba Wu to evade fares in order to save 800 gold.
As for the upgrade of the soul chaser, as a player, he has a huge source of information like a forum, and it will definitely be easier for him
If it really doesn’t work…After he has a new weapon, he can ask Teague to sell it to a silly and rich local player…
The feelings between players have always been plastic.
The auctioneer announced the start of the bidding: “A staff soul chaser from a powerful master of Baru, with a reserve price of 500,000 gold.”
Many of the people participating in the auction on stage thought the same thing. The native races on the continent did not show much enthusiasm for the Soul Chaser, and only cautiously raised their bids.
The players were different, they probably also intended to find clues through the forum, and the enthusiasm of the bidding was quite higher than the native races.
“550,000!”
“600,000!”
“700,000!”
The price rose all the way up and soon reached 1.15 million.
Currently, only the people in the two private rooms below are still bidding. You can see that they are two players by looking at the book in their hands.
“1.2 million!”
After paying the price, the person in the private room on the left said to the private room on the right: “Why are you joining in the fun? Ruoye, aren’t you a wind user?”
“1.25 million!”
The one on the right is not to be outdone: “Then what are you gods of war doing? isn’t Longinus a swordsman?”
“1.3 million!”
The private room on the left: “We have someone else who needs it!”
“1.3 million!”
The private room on the right: “We also have other people who need it!”
“1.4 million!”
The private room on the left: “This time we have to make a reservation!”
There is no more bid in the box on the right, they seem to be weighing whether to continue to increase the price.
The auctioneer waited for a while and began to count down: “1.4 million going once!”
“1.4 million going twice! Are there any higher bids!”
The box on the left felt that he was winning the game: “The one who is as good as water, has the ability to continue to add– ”
1.5 million.”
The voice in the box on the left was interrupted. The offer was not sent from the other side, but from the stage.
He looked at the auctioneer. He saw the auctioneer’s gaze on the row of private rooms on the top floor, the legendary top VIP room, also known as the rich woman’s happy room, exclusive to every powerful boss on the mainland.
The bid amount is displayed just below one of the private rooms.
Because of the barrier of magic, the people below could not see the situation inside at all, and could only see the darkness.
Which side of the big guys are idle and want to take a semi-finished product home to play? Is it a collection addiction?
“The guest from the VIP box bid 1.5 million! Is there a higher bid?”
“1.5 million for the first time!” The auctioneer started the countdown.
“Fuck, boss, shall we follow?” The player in the box on the left who was in charge of bidding turned around and asked.
“Go on.” The person behind replied.
“1.5 million!”
“1.7 million.”
“1.75 million!”
“2 million.”
The box on the left obviously hesitated and did not immediately increase the fare.
At this time, the box on the right finally found fun: “Why didn’t the God of War continue? If you have the ability to continue adding it~”
“2.1 million…” The box on the left still gritted his teeth and bid.
“3 million.”
The player in charge of the bid: “…” The other party doesn’t seem to be short on money, how can I play this? Can’t you leave them a trace of face?
“3 million one!”
“3 million going twice! Is there any more!”
The private room on the left was silent, and finally stopped increasing the price.
“3 million going thrice! Congratulations to this distinguished guest for winning the soul chaser!”
Applause broke out in the hall, and everyone looked towards the private room on the top floor. Although they could not see anything, it did not affect their curiosity. .
Of course it was Xiao Zhi who made the bid. After he took the soul chaser, he didn’t care about the situation below.
He opened the address book, and two player guilds that had just competed appeared on it. Both parties expressed their cordial greetings and sincere blessings on the performance of each other in the auction just now.
Xiao Zhi ate the melon enthusiastically. There was some guessing in the gossip about who was in the box, so he even ate his own melon.
Teague on the side could not help but whisper: “So you are so rich ah…”
Xiao Zhi didn’t raise his head: “It’s normal.”
Teague tentatively said, “I have another investment project here, specifically for all kinds of rich–”
Teague’s voice paused, because Xiao Zhi raised his staff.
Forget it, let’s study whether there are fat sheep below, Teague decisively recognized the reality.
·
Finally arrived at the last item.
At every Xinghai auction, the final auction will set off a wave of frenzy across the continent.
Everyone present today is also very much looking forward to its debut, the hall is quiet and the players present are not showing up to the world anymore.
“Now, I am here to introduce you to today’s last item. It comes from the dress made by Asanasi designer Shen Xue 600 years ago-Heart of Winter.” The audience was in an uproar.
Because the name Shen Xue is still resounding in the subcontinent of Dazemenia until now, everything that touches her name has been auctioned for sky-high prices.
In the aristocratic circles of various countries, there is even a saying that “If you don’t collect Shen Xue’s works, you don’t deserve to be a nobleman”. After the spread of this statement, Shen Xue’s reputation has once again been pushed to the peak.
But most of the jewelry that can be passed down to the present is mostly jewelry. Even if the fragile existence like dresses is carefully preserved, six hundred years have passed.
Unless…someone is willing to use the shadow of time, which slows down the flow of time, to save, but would anyone really be so extravagant? Such a big investment just for a dress?
After a while, Winter’s Heart was pushed out by the waiter and displayed in front of everyone, so that people had to pick up that incredible guess.
This is a pure white dress, using Shen Xue’s most well-known original fabric-Feilan yarn. It is said that Feilan used hundreds of materials, and the production technique is only known to Shen Xue. It has long since been lost and cannot be reproduced.
The design of the dress is extremely exquisite, it seems that every line is in the right position, and every decoration seems to be there. It is the feeling of being too complicated and too simple, making it just appear quietly in front of everyone, and it attracts everyone’s attention.
Moreover, it looks brand new, just like Shen Xue has just sewed it, and it hasn’t been eclipsed by the time.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhi smiled with satisfaction. The storage effect of the player’s backpack was good.
This dress was not bought by Xiao Zhi himself, but as a reward for chopping cubs. He also didn’t know why the bear-like brawny who asked him to PK collected this kind of dream dress.
All the noble ladies went crazy.
In the circle of noble ladies, a dress represents more than just a piece of clothing.
Obviously, whoever can get it will have the top tier status this year. This is not only their personal face, but also represents the glory of the family behind them. It is an excellent opportunity to show their financial resources and expand their prestige.
The local tyrants among the players are also excited. They even understand the value of the word “Shen Xue” better than the NPCs in the game, because this one has already fallen off the horse, and her reputation in the real world is by no means inferior to that in the game.
Probably this is called “Your uncle will always be your uncle”.
The players are in a commotion, and the world channel scrolls frantically, making it almost impossible to see what they are talking about.
“Back then, if my great, great, great-grandmother bought an extra dress from Shen Xue, now my family would have an extra room with a Galaxy view!!!”
“Which big brother’s family heirloom collection is this?! Is it inherited from the elders? ”
”Why don’t my parents have such a good vision!!”
“My family started playing ZERO from my great-great-grandfather’s generation, but Shen Xue died a long time ago and her works are already hard to find.”
·
In another top-level box.
Duchess Shalena looked into her hands: “What a treacherous fellow.”
Lying quietly in her hand was the brooch Xiao Zhi had given her before. This brooch and the Heart of Winter on the auction stage below are obviously a pair. The same style is also from the works of Shenxue and there is no better match.
No wonder this meeting gift is so generous.
Duchess Shalena showed a playful smile: “A little man with a little heat is even cuter.”
She turned to her subordinates and said: “Make sure to take a picture of it”
·
“Master Shen Xue’s out-of-print dress-Winter Heart, the starting price is 5 million!”
Almost at the moment when the auctioneer announced the start of the bidding, the price of Winter’s Heart soared, and the speed was so fast that the auctioneer had no time to bid.
It broke the ten million mark within 10 seconds.
Then, 20 million, 30 million, 40 million…
The auctions gathered the rich and powerful from all over the continent. The big guys who are not short of money grab a lot and push the price up in less than a minute. A hundred million.
However, the pace of rising numbers has not stopped and is still rising.
Those who entered the finals were all top boxes, and the people below watched these rooms constantly showing quotes, as if the currency they are using are Chinese cabbage instead of gold.
In comparison with them, Xiao Zhi bought a semi-finished staff for 3 million and was simply working hard to support his family.
The bidding speed gradually slowed down, and finally, Winter Heart’s bid stayed at 160 million.
“160 million going at once, are there people who want to come up with a higher price?”
“160 million going twice -”
“Congratulations traded 160 million for the distinguished guests for winning the Winter Heart”
There was crazy applause, and the Duchess Shalena in the box slowly raised the corners of her mouth. In the following social season, she has a new bargaining chip.
The last lot was successfully sold, and this year’s Xinghai auction also ended successfully. As usual, the auctioneer who presided over the auction stood on the stage to express his gratitude to the guests and welcome them to come again next time.
But at this moment, some people in the audience behaved a little strange.
Xiao Zhi noticed that some people who were obviously players were very excited. As they opened the address book, they were talking excitedly to the people next to them, and some of them were even ready to stand up.
Such behavior is very abnormal. According to the Xinghai auction tradition, there will be banquets and performances after the auction, which is a perfect opportunity to get close to the bigwigs of all walks of life, and no one will leave in a hurry at this time.
Xiao Zhi learned that they opened the address book, wanting to see what news made them so excited.
He have brushed on the World Channel:
“Lord Hessian appears in the Long Moon Desert!!! It seems that a new exploration dungeon has been opened!!!”
Exploring dungeons, a form of copies in ZERO, will only appear once and can accommodate everyone to enter at the same time. It is almost synonymous with getting rich overnight.
Experience, equipment, hidden missions, limited items, rare materials, lost skill scrolls… each is a word that makes players crazy. Not only the players, but all races on the continent can hardly resist this temptation.
Xiao Zhi’s heartbeat couldn’t help speeding up.
T/N: Just wishing he can meet Assen soon. I’m still busy until the end of February so sorry that I can’t update
Because Xiao Zhi wanted to be anonymous for his special needs, this channel was exclusive for him, leading directly to a private room in the venue. No one would disturb him on the way.
A magical barrier was set up in the private room, and the people inside could see the outside world, but the people outside could not peek on the situation inside, and even the sound inside would not be heard at all.
In order to ensure the privacy of the guests, there is no waiter in the private room, only a delicate bell is placed on the table. When the guests inside have needs, they only need to ring the bell and a waiter will come to the cubicle outside the private room to ask about the needs of the guests.
The bidding is done through the magic crystal board on the desktop. It also does not require human assistance. It also provides an advance allowance of 3 million.
It was the first time that Xiao Zhi had experienced it, and he couldn’t help feeling that the life of a big man was probably so simple and boring.
He walked to the window and looked down. The window of the private room was facing the auction table and the view was amazing.
There were already many people seated in the spacious hall below, from all parts of the mainland.
In addition to the Xiyue clan and the Human clan, there are also the Wood Spirit clan and the Orc clan. There are also some people who can’t be seen clearly because of their cloaks. Seeing a little pale skin that was occasionally exposed, Xiao Zhi guessed that they might be the undead tribe of Hessian.
Xiao Zhi also saw the players in, they all had a book in their hands, and they seemed to be very serious. But as soon as Xiao Zhi read the book, he knew that these guys were either in the show world or in the water forum.
He also took out his book, and sure enough, today’s World Channel has been taken over by the auction.
“I just asked a scalper ticket seller, and an invitation letter actually cost me 300,000! Why didn’t he grab it!!”
“Don’t be fooled, the ticket must be fake. I spent 600,000 in the store before I got it. ”
“I worship the local tyrants, poverty stopped me outside the gate of the auction…”
“Blindly guess that the one who sold scalper tickets was from the Xiyue clan.”
“Xiyue clan +1”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I really want to find a rich woman to take to see the auction ah!”
“The rich woman said: Go away, you are so ugly that you affected her gaming experience.
” I am live streaming the [Xinghai Auction LIVE], everyone is welcome to watch . ”
“Thank you big brother for giving me the opportunity to experience the cloud! ”
“Thank you big brother for giving me the opportunity to experience the cloud! + 1”
“Thank you big brother for giving me the opportunity to experience the cloud! +2”
…
Soon after, the auction officially started.
The auctioneer, wearing the Xiyue clan’s gown, boarded the auction stage. After the welcome speech, the auction items were released one after another.
Xinghai Auction is worthy of being the largest auction in the entire continent. Those on stage are all treasures, from weapons and equipment to rare materials, even antiques and mysterious items, all appearing on stage.
Each piece of auction will cause a commotion on the player’s world channel. With the help of the contact book, players have become the most enthusiastic race on the mainland to participate in auctions.
Of course, from the perspective of the beholder-today’s Asanasi people are also laughing strangely at the book.
The Asanasi people are indeed the most difficult to understand race on the continent.
Xiao Zhi looked at the auction site below, and watched the players’ water world at the same time, he had a kind of onlookers’ fun.
Teague seized the opportunity to lean against the window, recording the information and price of the lot while observing the various interpersonal relationships below, presumably preparing for the next scam.
[e/n: lol]
When it comes to being a scammer, he takes it seriously..
After a while, a new item appeared, and Xiao Zhi divided his attention from the players’ rants and looked towards the stage.
What appeared was a bright red staff, which was made of some kind of gemstone. The whole thing appeared crystal clear, and there seemed to be lava flowing inside.
Obviously, this is a staff made of fire material.
The auctioneer introduced: “The Fire Staff Soulchaser, made of Uradis flame crystals, is the masterpiece of Baru Qiiang, the great master of Orc weapons. It is not only stronger than metal, but also resistant to high temperatures and resistant to fire. The spells have a 5% damage bonus, and-with exclusive attack effects.”
Hearing the name of Baru Qiang, everyone in the audience couldn’t help but get excited.
He was a legendary master of weapons. He had built weapons for many powerful people in his life. It can be said that everyone who holds the weapons he made became a giant in the end.
But after a short period of excitement, all the well-informed bigwigs present have doubts in their hearts.
But it is still early to the end of the auction, Master Baru Qiang’s works are also eligible to be placed in the last three important positions, right? Why is it out now?
The auctioneer continued to say, “Unfortunately, Great Master Baru Qiang was not able to finish this work. He died a hundred years ago when he went to Changyue Desert to look for rare materials.”
Everyone in the audience understands that it turned out to be a semi-finished product, so it’s no wonder that it can’t occupy the most critical position.
Xiao Zhi looked towards the soul chaser. The description of the item was as follows: the soul chaser (semi-finished product)
one- handed staff
Use level: 140
Spell attack power: 1423——? ? ?
Physical Attack: 1786——? ? ?
Attack range +2
Mana cohesion speed +5
Fire spell damage bonus: 5%——? ? ?
Attack effect: The special effect “Soul Chasing” is triggered randomly, the power of the skill is increased by 100%, the range is increased by 20%, and lasts for 30 seconds.
Description: The last work of the powerful master of Baru Qiang, but unfortunately it has not been completely finished, and it needs secondary processing. Please explore the processing method by yourself
In ZERO, ordinary weapons only have a dry attack power. Don’t even think about hitting, breaking defense, crit, and casting speed in the keyboard online game era.
Want to increase damage? Go to the point of the target yourself.
Want to increase the casting speed? Please practice by yourself.
Want to improve hits? Please practice by yourself.
Want to make bursts? Please practice by yourself.
From the perspective of attributes, the soul chaser is indeed a masterpiece, especially the accompanying soul chaser special effects.
On the Dazemenia subcontinent, there are very few weapons with special effects and only the most powerful ones can have them. As for the magic damage bonus, mana cohesion speed, and attack range bonus, these are all configurations that can only be possessed by top weapons.
But for the soul chaser, its current position is very awkward.
It has the attributes of an advanced weapon, but only has an attack power of the 140 level. Even because of the sturdiness of the material, the physical attack power surpasses the magic attack, so it works well.
Even more awkward is that the powerful Baru master has passed away and can no longer upgrade the soul chaser.
Xiao Zhi believed that the owner of the former soul chaser must have made many attempts, hoping to make it a real top weapon, but now that the soul chaser appeared here, the attempt must have failed.
As a low-level weapon, its price is too high for ordinary adventurers to afford it. As a high-level weapon, it is a bit worse, making the big guys feel tasteless.
But Xiao Zhi’s eyes were bright, this was the weapon he needed now.
The staff he is currently using is level 50, with an attack power less than 300. Now, he is trapped in the game and cannot leave and in order to ensure his survival, he desperately needs to become stronger quickly.
Hidden missions are hard to come by, and he doesn’t think he can meet another one right away. Then, obtaining a powerful weapon is the best option to boost his combat power in a short period of time.
The low-level but powerful soul chaser is just right for him. As for the question of money…
He has sold a lot of materials for 770,000 before, and the room comes with an advance allowance of 3 million. In addition, he has confidence in the items he has taken out for auction. Money is really not a problem.
Xiao Zhi now is no longer the poor man who used Chiba Wu to evade fares in order to save 800 gold.
As for the upgrade of the soul chaser, as a player, he has a huge source of information like a forum, and it will definitely be easier for him
If it really doesn’t work…After he has a new weapon, he can ask Teague to sell it to a silly and rich local player…
The feelings between players have always been plastic.
The auctioneer announced the start of the bidding: “A staff soul chaser from a powerful master of Baru, with a reserve price of 500,000 gold.”
Many of the people participating in the auction on stage thought the same thing. The native races on the continent did not show much enthusiasm for the Soul Chaser, and only cautiously raised their bids.
The players were different, they probably also intended to find clues through the forum, and the enthusiasm of the bidding was quite higher than the native races.
“550,000!”
“600,000!”
“700,000!”
The price rose all the way up and soon reached 1.15 million.
Currently, only the people in the two private rooms below are still bidding. You can see that they are two players by looking at the book in their hands.
“1.2 million!”
After paying the price, the person in the private room on the left said to the private room on the right: “Why are you joining in the fun? Ruoye, aren’t you a wind user?”
“1.25 million!”
The one on the right is not to be outdone: “Then what are you gods of war doing? isn’t Longinus a swordsman?”
“1.3 million!”
The private room on the left: “We have someone else who needs it!”
“1.3 million!”
The private room on the right: “We also have other people who need it!”
“1.4 million!”
The private room on the left: “This time we have to make a reservation!”
There is no more bid in the box on the right, they seem to be weighing whether to continue to increase the price.
The auctioneer waited for a while and began to count down: “1.4 million going once!”
“1.4 million going twice! Are there any higher bids!”
The box on the left felt that he was winning the game: “The one who is as good as water, has the ability to continue to add– ”
1.5 million.”
The voice in the box on the left was interrupted. The offer was not sent from the other side, but from the stage.
He looked at the auctioneer. He saw the auctioneer’s gaze on the row of private rooms on the top floor, the legendary top VIP room, also known as the rich woman’s happy room, exclusive to every powerful boss on the mainland.
The bid amount is displayed just below one of the private rooms.
Because of the barrier of magic, the people below could not see the situation inside at all, and could only see the darkness.
Which side of the big guys are idle and want to take a semi-finished product home to play? Is it a collection addiction?
“The guest from the VIP box bid 1.5 million! Is there a higher bid?”
“1.5 million for the first time!” The auctioneer started the countdown.
“Fuck, boss, shall we follow?” The player in the box on the left who was in charge of bidding turned around and asked.
“Go on.” The person behind replied.
“1.5 million!”
“1.7 million.”
“1.75 million!”
“2 million.”
The box on the left obviously hesitated and did not immediately increase the fare.
At this time, the box on the right finally found fun: “Why didn’t the God of War continue? If you have the ability to continue adding it~”
“2.1 million…” The box on the left still gritted his teeth and bid.
“3 million.”
The player in charge of the bid: “…” The other party doesn’t seem to be short on money, how can I play this? Can’t you leave them a trace of face?
“3 million one!”
“3 million going twice! Is there any more!”
The private room on the left was silent, and finally stopped increasing the price.
“3 million going thrice! Congratulations to this distinguished guest for winning the soul chaser!”
Applause broke out in the hall, and everyone looked towards the private room on the top floor. Although they could not see anything, it did not affect their curiosity. .
Of course it was Xiao Zhi who made the bid. After he took the soul chaser, he didn’t care about the situation below.
He opened the address book, and two player guilds that had just competed appeared on it. Both parties expressed their cordial greetings and sincere blessings on the performance of each other in the auction just now.
Xiao Zhi ate the melon enthusiastically. There was some guessing in the gossip about who was in the box, so he even ate his own melon.
Teague on the side could not help but whisper: “So you are so rich ah…”
Xiao Zhi didn’t raise his head: “It’s normal.”
Teague tentatively said, “I have another investment project here, specifically for all kinds of rich–”
Teague’s voice paused, because Xiao Zhi raised his staff.
Forget it, let’s study whether there are fat sheep below, Teague decisively recognized the reality.

Finally arrived at the last item.
At every Xinghai auction, the final auction will set off a wave of frenzy across the continent.
Everyone present today is also very much looking forward to its debut, the hall is quiet and the players present are not showing up to the world anymore.
“Now, I am here to introduce you to today’s last item. It comes from the dress made by Asanasi designer Shen Xue 600 years ago-Heart of Winter.” The audience was in an uproar.
Because the name Shen Xue is still resounding in the subcontinent of Dazemenia until now, everything that touches her name has been auctioned for sky-high prices.
In the aristocratic circles of various countries, there is even a saying that “If you don’t collect Shen Xue’s works, you don’t deserve to be a nobleman”. After the spread of this statement, Shen Xue’s reputation has once again been pushed to the peak.
But most of the jewelry that can be passed down to the present is mostly jewelry. Even if the fragile existence like dresses is carefully preserved, six hundred years have passed.
Unless…someone is willing to use the shadow of time, which slows down the flow of time, to save, but would anyone really be so extravagant? Such a big investment just for a dress?
After a while, Winter’s Heart was pushed out by the waiter and displayed in front of everyone, so that people had to pick up that incredible guess.
This is a pure white dress, using Shen Xue’s most well-known original fabric-Feilan yarn. It is said that Feilan used hundreds of materials, and the production technique is only known to Shen Xue. It has long since been lost and cannot be reproduced.
The design of the dress is extremely exquisite, it seems that every line is in the right position, and every decoration seems to be there. It is the feeling of being too complicated and too simple, making it just appear quietly in front of everyone, and it attracts everyone’s attention.
Moreover, it looks brand new, just like Shen Xue has just sewed it, and it hasn’t been eclipsed by the time.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhi smiled with satisfaction. The storage effect of the player’s backpack was good.
This dress was not bought by Xiao Zhi himself, but as a reward for chopping cubs. He also didn’t know why the bear-like brawny who asked him to PK collected this kind of dream dress.
All the noble ladies went crazy.
In the circle of noble ladies, a dress represents more than just a piece of clothing.
Obviously, whoever can get it will have the top tier status this year. This is not only their personal face, but also represents the glory of the family behind them. It is an excellent opportunity to show their financial resources and expand their prestige.
The local tyrants among the players are also excited. They even understand the value of the word “Shen Xue” better than the NPCs in the game, because this one has already fallen off the horse, and her reputation in the real world is by no means inferior to that in the game.
Probably this is called “Your uncle will always be your uncle”.
The players are in a commotion, and the world channel scrolls frantically, making it almost impossible to see what they are talking about.
“Back then, if my great, great, great-grandmother bought an extra dress from Shen Xue, now my family would have an extra room with a Galaxy view!!!”
“Which big brother’s family heirloom collection is this?! Is it inherited from the elders? ”
”Why don’t my parents have such a good vision!!”
“My family started playing ZERO from my great-great-grandfather’s generation, but Shen Xue died a long time ago and her works are already hard to find.”

In another top-level box.
Duchess Shalena looked into her hands: “What a treacherous fellow.”
Lying quietly in her hand was the brooch Xiao Zhi had given her before. This brooch and the Heart of Winter on the auction stage below are obviously a pair. The same style is also from the works of Shenxue and there is no better match.
No wonder this meeting gift is so generous.
Duchess Shalena showed a playful smile: “A little man with a little heat is even cuter.”
She turned to her subordinates and said: “Make sure to take a picture of it”

“Master Shen Xue’s out-of-print dress-Winter Heart, the starting price is 5 million!”
Almost at the moment when the auctioneer announced the start of the bidding, the price of Winter’s Heart soared, and the speed was so fast that the auctioneer had no time to bid.
It broke the ten million mark within 10 seconds.
Then, 20 million, 30 million, 40 million…
The auctions gathered the rich and powerful from all over the continent. The big guys who are not short of money grab a lot and push the price up in less than a minute. A hundred million.
However, the pace of rising numbers has not stopped and is still rising.
Those who entered the finals were all top boxes, and the people below watched these rooms constantly showing quotes, as if the currency they are using are Chinese cabbage instead of gold.
In comparison with them, Xiao Zhi bought a semi-finished staff for 3 million and was simply working hard to support his family.
The bidding speed gradually slowed down, and finally, Winter Heart’s bid stayed at 160 million.
“160 million going at once, are there people who want to come up with a higher price?”
“160 million going twice -”
“Congratulations traded 160 million for the distinguished guests for winning the Winter Heart”
There was crazy applause, and the Duchess Shalena in the box slowly raised the corners of her mouth. In the following social season, she has a new bargaining chip.
The last lot was successfully sold, and this year’s Xinghai auction also ended successfully. As usual, the auctioneer who presided over the auction stood on the stage to express his gratitude to the guests and welcome them to come again next time.
But at this moment, some people in the audience behaved a little strange.
Xiao Zhi noticed that some people who were obviously players were very excited. As they opened the address book, they were talking excitedly to the people next to them, and some of them were even ready to stand up.
Such behavior is very abnormal. According to the Xinghai auction tradition, there will be banquets and performances after the auction, which is a perfect opportunity to get close to the bigwigs of all walks of life, and no one will leave in a hurry at this time.
Xiao Zhi learned that they opened the address book, wanting to see what news made them so excited.
He have brushed on the World Channel:
“Lord Hessian appears in the Long Moon Desert!!! It seems that a new exploration dungeon has been opened!!!”
Exploring dungeons, a form of copies in ZERO, will only appear once and can accommodate everyone to enter at the same time. It is almost synonymous with getting rich overnight.
Experience, equipment, hidden missions, limited items, rare materials, lost skill scrolls… each is a word that makes players crazy. Not only the players, but all races on the continent can hardly resist this temptation.
Xiao Zhi’s heartbeat couldn’t help speeding up.
T/N: Just wishing he can meet Assen soon. I’m still busy until the end of February so sorry that I can’t update
