Many people already knew what the last item was, but when the old auctioneer took out the item from the tule box and displayed it, it still caused quite a commotion. "Dreamland of Death, Grade B, grants the target a deadly dream.
"[Dreamland of Death], Grade B, grants the target a deadly dreamland. The remaining number of uses is confidential, and the details will be revealed after the auction. The starting price is 60,000 game points, and each increment is 500 game points. The deal is closed after three strikes of the hammer. Now, let's begin the bidding."
The old auctioneer behaved very professionally, his skinny face still maintaining a serious expression as he announced in a calm tone.
As soon as his voice trailed off, a voice came from below. "Don't bother. Let's start with 700 million."
There was an uproar in the auditorium. No one expected that the first bid would raise the price by 10,000 points. This opening was a little too explosive.
Ding Si had already finished his work for the day and was now in spectator mode. Clicking his tongue when he heard Shi Feng's words, he said, "Currently, there are three super-large-scale Guilds with more than 2,000 members in the player circle. After years of frantic development, they have accumulated quite a bit of wealth. Only they can afford to pay such an astronomical price. So, tonight's final round should be their performance.
Ding Si paused for a moment and then continued, "No one will feel safe letting a terrifying weapon like the Dreamland of Death fall into the hands of others. The leader of one of the three major guilds, Silver Wings, is a good example. I'm afraid the bidding will be fierce."
Things went as Ding Si had expected.
The price of 70000 did not scare away potential competitors. In less than ten seconds, someone else followed suit. Then, another bid came from the other side. There were so many players tonight, but only three were qualified to bid. Needless to say, they all had their own guilds behind them.
Grade-B game items were rare to begin with, and Dreamland of Death's effect was outstanding even among Grade-B game items. Hence, the three major guilds were not going to hold back. In less than ten minutes, the price had climbed all the way to 87,500 points.
At this price, even the three major guilds had to be cautious, and the bidding speed began to slow down. When the price reached 89,000 points, one of the guilds could not take it anymore and decided to withdraw. Now, only two people were still bidding.
This cheered them up, and the price of the Dreamland of Death shot up again, breaking through 90,000 points. At this time, the other party was silent.
There were many ways to kill someone, and 90,000 points were far from being enough. From a purely defensive point of view, the price was a little too high.
Just as the outcome of the three-way game was about to be decided, someone in the corner of the last row of the auditorium suddenly raised his card and said, "100,000 points."
The entire auditorium was in an uproar. Many people were interested in the Dreamland of Death tonight, but everyone knew that it would eventually go to one of the three major guilds because only they had the will and the financial resources to bid for it.
Now that the show was about to come to an end, a fourth person suddenly appeared out of nowhere and raised the price by another 10,000 points.
A bid of 100,000 points, even if it was for the sake of buying a B-grade tool, could be considered crazy.
In the next moment, all eyes were focused on the troublemaker. Due to the rules, no one could see her face. They could barely make out that she was a tall woman wearing sunglasses. After shouting out the bid, she quietly chewed on her gum.
For a moment, the auditorium was filled with whispers. Players were whispering to each other, trying to find out who this woman was. However, no one knew who she was.
The three major guilds were obviously unprepared for this unexpected situation, and the three bidders were a little overwhelmed.
Zhang Heng noticed that Ding Si's expression was a little strange. "What's wrong? Do you know her?"
Ding Si shook his head. "I don't know her, but forty minutes ago, she came looking for me. She used three C-grade game items to borrow 4,500 game points from me. That's basically all I have left."
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. He remembered Ding Si going out for a while. When he came back, he was in a good mood, and he even said that he had completed his work ahead of schedule.
"Is it possible that she borrowed points from other chambers of commerce and managed to gather 100,000 points?"
"In theory, it's possible. There are many chambers of commerce on board, and they're all here to do business. They brought a lot of points with them. If she contacted them, she might be able to get that many points. However, it's not realistic. It's impossible for someone to have so many game items as collateral."
Ding Si frowned. "The three major guilds are in trouble this time. It's impossible for them to come to this auction with more than 100000 points. The Dreamland of Death may be good, but it's not worth the price. The problem is, if this thing falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, all their efforts will be in vain."
As he spoke, Ding Si's phone vibrated again. When he put down the phone, he looked surprised. "That's impossible … All the chambers of commerce don't have any points left. Did she really borrow all of them? Who the hell is this woman?"
On the other side, the foreheads of the three who made the previous bid began to break out in cold sweat. Of course, it was best to keep the Dreamland of Death in one's own hands. If it didn't work out, they could settle for the second best. Although they weren't on good terms with each other, they still played by the rules.
The worst-case scenario would be if the Dreamland of Death fell into the hands of another lunatic. If that happened, the tragedy that befell the former president of Silver Wing might repeat itself.
"The only way now is for one of them to borrow 10,000 points from another. That way, they can surpass that woman. However, 100,000 points is too expensive. No one wants to be a fool." Ding Si analyzed the situation, but he seemed a little absent-minded. His palm stroked the black briefcase on his knee.
This was the first time Zhang Heng had seen him so nervous. On the other side, the auctioneer had already struck the hammer for the second time, and the countdown had begun. The three major guilds hadn't come to an agreement yet. They wanted to apply for a pause, but the auctioneer on the stage ignored their request.
The woman in shades chewed her gum faster and faster. Three seconds later, the hammer fell, and the auctioneer announced the end of the final round of the auction.
The saleswoman brought the tule box to the woman in shades. She had just spent 100000 points on a game item, but she didn't even bother to check it. Grabbing the item inside, she tossed it into her small handbag. After that, she disappeared from her seat. Apparently, she had left the quest.
