Thirty seconds passed, and none of the three representatives made a move. Xi Xiaotian counted down from three, and the three representatives still didn't make a move. Young Master Han smiled and raised his cup to the crowd. "Thank you."
"30,000 gold, sold!" Xi Xiaotian finally waved her hand, and the auction ended. Gu Fei and the others, who were hiding in the shadows, gritted their teeth. They had heard the entire auction, and they had every reason to believe that Young Master Han had already noticed something and was deliberately causing trouble.
In the end, as soon as the three of them reached the upper limit and regained their confidence, the Han Family's young master, who they didn't see as a competitor at all, casually walked by and called out the price to ten thousand.
"1,000 players is a bit difficult, but 200 or 300 should be worth a try …" Gu Fei nodded as he twirled the ring on his finger.
"Congratulations," Xi Xiaotian said to Young Master Han.
Coincidentally, the guild leaders of the three guilds expressed that they would temporarily give them 10,000 gold. This was because they had 1,000 players, and 10 gold per person wasn't a big deal. Now that the price had only reached 1,000 gold, there was a lot of room for the upper limit of 10,000 gold. During this time, the guilds could negotiate and gather more people, and the best result would be to end the battle within 10,000 gold.
The three of them read the message in a daze. A bitter smile appeared on their faces as they replied in unison, "It's already 30,000."
"Don't say that we're not loyal. Here, we'll give you 20,000 gold. Don't feel too bad about it," Gu Xiaoshang said.
The Han family's young master raised the price to 10,000 gold coins, 8,650 gold coins. According to the system's auction rules, this was the lowest bid, and it was difficult for the Reflection of Time to raise the price without missing a single coin.
"What's going on? I'm just bluffing! If you want it, then state your price. If you don't want it, then give up. What's with all this nonsense? " The players in the Rosy Clouds' tone suddenly became more and more unyielding. They had already received orders from their guild leader. "10,000 it is. We can still afford it. What are you guys making a fuss about?"
"It's already 10,000 gold? What's going on? "
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, Reflected Time made up his mind and decided to raise the price again. Only then did he inform Sword of the Oath. Unsworn Sword was still negotiating with the others in the guild when he found out that Reflection of Time had already raised the price to 18650 Gold Coins. He was shocked, not because Reflection of Time had taken matters into his own hands, but because it was an auction. He could have just raised the price slowly, but why did he raise it by more than 8,000 Gold Coins in one go? Was he being too impulsive?
"Wait!" The three of them cried.
How could these brothers not be shocked by Young Master Han's behavior? At this moment, they were busy reporting it to President Gu Xiao Shang! However, when the Reflection of Time questioned them in such a tone, they couldn't help but feel a common enemy. They glared at the Reflection of Time and said, "It's none of your business."
"Two."
"Four."
Young Master Han's expression was extremely ugly. Could it be that he had miscalculated this time? However, the truth was right in front of him. There was no ambush in the lumberyard. He had originally thought that the lumberyard was empty and that there were players hidden inside. NPC Werther was on top of the lumberyard, and if he wanted to accept the quest, he had to climb up. If the lumberyard was empty and there was no support, Gu Xiao Shang would immediately fall into the trap and be slaughtered. Young Master Han had predicted that the other side would use this step to pave the way for the auction. However, there was no one … What was worse was that although there was no quest, the other side had already used the previous pave to escape. The 30,000 Gold Coins had to be spent.
"Oh, then if you still can't receive it, then the system doesn't have this setting. We'll just have to admit that we're unlucky," Xi Xiaotian said.
The other three guilds had already retreated the moment the 30,000 Gold Coins hit the gavel. Of course, they were still concerned about the quest. Other than the three representatives, they also left some people behind to see if there were any opportunities to take advantage of the situation. As for the others, they returned to their positions. Those who ran quests continued with their quests, and those who did reconnaissance continued with their scouting. The guild leader led the remaining members back to the resurrection camp and set up camp.
"There's no time. One, two, three, hurry up and reply. 20,000 Gold Coins!" The three of them shouted in unison.
The few of them were ashamed of their guild leader's scolding. Then, they also felt that Young Master Han's unusual bid had shocked the representatives of the three major guilds. It was a very satisfying thing, so they happily stood on Young Master Han's side.
"Wait."
"Three."
"10,000 Gold Coins twice."
"Is this pile of wood sturdy enough?" The young master of the Han Family suddenly walked forward and patted the pile of logs.
"If it's a trap set by Thousand Miles Drunk, their goal shouldn't be money, right?" Gu Xiao Shang said.
Gu Xiao Shang walked up to Young Master Han and clicked his tongue. "He's rich!"
"What?" The guild was in an uproar. Today's auction was really a climax!
"What are you doing?" Xi Xiaotian asked curiously. At the same time, there was a burst of messy footsteps. The large group of people from Between the Clouds had all charged into the lumberyard. Young Master Han waved his hand and pointed at the surrounding lumberyard. "Let's take a look."
Wait my a * s! At the last second, all three parties received the same reply from their guild leader. Their hearts were filled with sorrow.
Time Reflected couldn't help but be suspicious. As for Black and Mu Yun representatives, when they saw Young Master Han appear, they stared at him and forgot to ask for the results from the guild leader.
Xi Xiaotian waved his hand and Yun Xiang's countdown stopped. The people from the three major guilds heaved a sigh of relief. However, the people from Between the Clouds started to complain. "What's going on? What's going on? Are there no rules at all? Didn't the three of you just say that the hammer would fall in 30 seconds? You changed your mind when you realized it wasn't good for you? No, keep counting! "
"Dismantle the lumberyard. If you don't get a quest, you'll still pay. Is that okay?" Young Master Han said.
Young Master Han looked at Xi Xiaotian and didn't say anything. He took out three money bags from his pocket. Perhaps there was a mission, or perhaps there was no mission at all. However, due to the young master of the Han Clan's misjudgment, there was now a situation where there was no mission but he had to pay the gold coins. The young master of the Han Clan did not hesitate and decided to bear the burden himself. He threw the three bags of coins to Xi Xiaotian and said, "You win."
"Ten thousand gold coins going thrice." Xi Xiaotian's right hand was already raised. Although he didn't have a hammer in his hand, his swing was no different from a hammer.
The quest had to be taken by the guild leader. Gu Xiaoshang had already arrived and was called over by Young Master Han. After nodding, Xi Xiaotian pretended to send a message and nodded. "Okay, we've already given up on the quest. As long as you receive the quest, please pay."
Xi Xiaotian didn't care and knocked on Yun Xiang's head. "Time it!"
"No tricks? Then let Gu Xiaoshang take the quest. Are you satisfied? "Time's Reflection said.
The people from Between the Clouds immediately got to work. They transformed into workers in the lumberyard and moved the lumberyard. The players were simple and violent. They didn't care what kind of structure it was, they just pulled whichever one was more convenient. In just a few moves, the pile of wood fell apart. NPC Werther, who was on top of the pile of wood, couldn't stand still and fell down. The players from Between the Clouds had been waiting for orders and were ready for battle. However, there was no one in the lumberyard as Young Master Han had said.
"It's so-so!" Young Master Han said.
Young Master Han didn't disappoint them. He waved at Xi Xiaotian and said, "30,000 gold, thank you."
"What do you think?" Gu Xiaoshang was a straightforward person. He didn't push things around with Young Master Han and directly threw the money at him.
At this time, the three representatives all received a reply from the guild leader. "Okay, the results of the latest negotiations. Each person in the guild will fork out 30 gold. The limit is 30,000. Don't worry and shout!"
"Oh? You guys can't even complete a counting quest? "Young Master Han laughed.
Gu Xiaoshang was already halfway up when Young Master Han suddenly had a thought and hurriedly said, "Wait, wait, don't go up yet."
"Of course not …" Young Master Han said.
On the other hand, Reflection Years and the other two guild representatives were having a great time watching. The quest wasn't there, and the money was still paid out of Young Master Han's own pocket. How could there be such a good thing in the world? The three of them tried very hard not to laugh out loud. Time's Reflection and the others had been ripped off by Young Master Han many times. Now that they saw him lose 30,000 gold, they felt like the heavens had opened their eyes.
"Same here." Xi Xiaotian smiled and turned to Gu Xiaoshang. "It's a pity that Guild Leader Gu didn't receive the quest. Maybe you guys can try piling up the wood again and send the NPC up again."
Xi Xiaotian didn't panic. He pointed at NPC Werther on top of the wood pile and said, "This is the NPC for this quest. The quest's plot is related to the surrounding wood piles. Your actions have destroyed the structure of the wood piles. If the quest can't be accepted because of this, whose fault is it?"
"Oh, I wonder what the quest's plot is related to these wood piles?" Young Master Han said.
"One."
The young master of the Han Clan raised his head, and the people he had brought with him all stepped forward. "Push them down." Young Master Han pointed at the wood piles. The people immediately came up and pushed and shoved, but the logs didn't move at all.
"Count the number of wood piles." Xi Xiaotian said.
Xi Xiaotian acted as if nothing had happened. He waited for the rolling logs to come to a stop before saying to the young master of the Han family, "You can pay now. As for whether the mission is completed or not, that's not our responsibility."
The representatives of the three major guilds hadn't left yet. They looked at Cloud Room's actions in confusion. Many players who were doing normal quests heard the commotion and ran over to watch. They discussed what kind of large-scale quest this was.
"What's wrong?" Xi Xiaotian continued to be confused.
The three representatives were so anxious that their foreheads were covered in sweat. Indeed, they were the ones who wanted the timer, and now they were the ones who stopped it. It didn't seem right for the three of them to do everything. The three of them couldn't find any reason to argue. They could only hope that the auction house would be more unscrupulous and shamelessly comply with their requests.
The three of them were dumbfounded. They looked at each other, looked at each other, and looked at each other again.
"What requests do you three have?" Xi Xiaotian said with a smile.
Gu Xiaoshang didn't care. He stepped forward to talk to Werther, but the boy's silly lines didn't seem like he had a quest at all. Xi Xiaotian looked at the Han Family's young master sympathetically. "How unfortunate!"
Everyone's faces were pale. The Han Family's young master turned around and poured himself a cup. He raised his cup to everyone and drank it in one gulp. He said with a smile, "How is it? I didn't disappoint you, did I? "
"Are you still going to hide?" The Han Family's young master patted the pile of wood behind Xi Xiaotian.
"What do you mean?" Gu Xiaoshang was confused.
"As long as there's money, we don't care." Xi Xiaotian shrugged.
"I see. That's simple. We'll accept the quest first and then dismantle the pile of wood. That should be fine, right?" said the Han Family's young master.
A hundred meters in front of their team, a figure appeared. He stood in the wind with a dark purple longsword stabbed into the ground.
Fortunately, the Han Family's young master wasn't the only one who came. Time's Reflection said to the other players with a dark face, "What's going on? Is your guild willing to fork out 10,000 gold coins? "
The black representative and Mu Yun's representative had the same opinion. They strongly condemned the Han Family's young master's actions and expressed that it was unnecessary to fight like this. They might as well give up.
"Come down!" The Han Family's young master gestured for Gu Xiaoshang to come down and called the players over. "Dismantle the pile of wood. There's no need to dismantle anything else. Just this pile."
"18650 gold!!!" At this moment, someone roared. Everyone looked over and saw the ferocious face of Time's Reflection. He was the one who made the bid.
Would the Han Family's young master listen to him? He just tilted his head and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye before leaving.
"Of course." Xi Xiaotian smiled.
"What do you want now?" Time's Reflection hoped that the auction would end quickly when this person wasn't here. He had a feeling that the Han Family's young master wasn't here for the auction. He was just here to cause trouble. The people in the rosy clouds said that this auction might be caused by A Thousand Miles Drunk and Sword Ghost, but wasn't the Han Family's young master their most familiar comrade? Could it be …
"Hmm, not bad." Sword of No Oath pretended to be cool.
"No, not this time." Time's Reflection suddenly shouted as if he had just woken up from a dream.
The black representative and Mu Yun's representative also reacted and shouted at the same time. Their voices were even louder than Time's. The three of them suddenly united because they had a common opponent: the troublemaker, the Han Family's young master who looked like a spy.
"Stop, stop first! This is a special situation. We need time to think. " Time's Reflection hurriedly came over and shouted. He felt that the auction house wouldn't refuse this request. After all, there was a possibility that the price would be raised. If they kept counting, the price might stop at ten thousand gold.
"You've already paved the way!" The Han Family's young master smiled.
"Five."
"Do you want to accept a quest?" Xi Xiaotian confirmed.
"Young Master Han, don't go! Come back!!!" Time's Reflection roared. After the Han Family's young master called out ten thousand, he wandered off again as if nothing had happened. Was this an auction or a walk in the park?
Time's Reflection also hadn't received a reply from the guild leader. But unlike the other two representatives, his position in Reigning The Four Seas was quite high. Sword of No Oath was the guild leader, but Time's Reflection had the same right to speak. What Sword of No Oath didn't have was some system authority that the guild leader had. In this regard, Sword of No Oath wouldn't argue with Time's Reflection. The two of them were like old brothers.
In the end, it turned out that the auction house was very polite. Xi Xiaotian shrugged helplessly and gestured to Yun Xiang, "Continue."
"Guild leader! Ten thousand isn't enough! "
However, the Han Family's young master didn't even take the money. He let the two money bags fall to the ground and kicked them back as if they were trash. He said, "The quest definitely doesn't exist. But right now, there's one thing I can't be sure of. Is this Thousand Miles Drunk's doing or is this girl's scam?"
Time's Reflection was going crazy. The black representative and Mu Yun's representative were also going crazy.
"You're welcome. Tell them to come out!" said the Han Family's young master.
Yun Xiang was originally stunned, but when he received the prompt, he hurriedly carried out the duty that Time's Reflection had asked of him and started the timer. In order to create a sense of pressure, the timer was still a countdown. "30, 29, 28, 27 …" Yun Xiang counted with a straight face.
"There's no time to talk. Can we still add more?"
"Guild leader, there's a situation up ahead!" Mudi of the Cloud, who was returning to the resurrection camp, suddenly received a report from the Hawkeye Sharpshooter.
"What do you mean?" Xi Xiaotian asked.
Time's Reflection's action bought everyone another thirty seconds of negotiation time. The representatives succinctly reported the situation to the guild leader and asked for his opinion. At this time, the Han Family's young master also passed by like a ghost. He looked at Time's Reflection and said, "Not bad at math!"
"Okay." Gu Xiaoshang nodded. NPC Werther was on the pile of wood. Gu Xiaoshang said as he prepared to accept the quest. The Han Family's young master moved to Xi Xiaotian's side and tilted his head. "Is there really a quest?"
"Who?" Xi Xiaotian didn't understand.
Time's Reflection wasn't fighting alone. Black representative and Muyun representative were his assistants. They both came over to give their opinions. "What are you talking about? You saw it too. The auction was going well, but you suddenly raised the price so high. What's going on? "
There was no reply from the guild. The three of them were so anxious that they were about to cry.
Gu Xiaoshang turned around and expressed his confusion.
"Wait!" Xi Xiaotian suddenly stood out to stop him.
"What's wrong?" The Han Family's young master smiled meaningfully. At the same time, he sent a message to Gu Xiaoshang and told her to prepare for battle. Gu Xiaoshang understood and gave the order in the guild channel. The people in the colorful clouds gradually surrounded the piles of wood.
"Of course there's a parallel quest. We have no problem with counting, but we can't kill NPCs. Now that you've dismantled the wood piles, I can't guarantee that the quest will still be there. If you can't receive the quest when the time comes, we'll have already given up for nothing. Will you still pay 30,000 gold? "Xi Xiaotian said.
"No need. It's just a small amount." The Han Family's young master said.
"Could it be …" This was the thought in everyone's mind.
At this time, Yun Xiang's countdown had already reached "10". It was already "9, 8, 7, 6".
Time's Reflection was no longer irritated. He calmly sent a message to Unsworn Sword. "Stop bidding! I think the Han Family's young master is up to something. "
"Oh? What if he's not up to something? "
