"Distinguished guests, please come this way. Take the elevator and stop at the 66th floor. There will be people there to welcome you." A blonde beauty stood beside the elevator and said with a smile.
The Blackwing Auction House's Floating Staircase was very large, enough to accommodate over 50 people. The Floating Staircase was made from Seven Luminaries Crystals with excellent Magic Conductivity. Many Magic Runes were engraved on the Floating Staircase, allowing the Floating Staircase to float freely in the air. However, the cost of manufacturing the Floating Staircase was extremely high. Even if they sold the entire Red Leaf Town, they would not be able to afford it.
Throughout the entire Starmoon Kingdom, only the Auction House in Starmoon City and the Royal Palace had floating staircases. Moreover, the size of the floating staircase was much smaller than that of the Blackwing Auction House. From this, one could see just how wealthy the Blackwing Auction House was.
The Blackwing Auction House was extremely large. It was divided into three areas, the Normal Area, the VIP Area, and the Luxury Area.
The Auction House in the Common Area was located from the 4th to the 36th floor. As long as one purchased the Blackwing Emblem, they would be able to participate in the Auction House.
The auction in the VIP area was on the 50th floor to the 100th floor. Only people with a certain status could participate in the auction. The auction items were mainly rare and expensive items. Occasionally, there would be treasures.
The Luxury Auction House was located between the 150th and 180th floors. Those who could participate in the auction were either super strong or tyrants, such as the top figures of the Starmoon Kingdom.
In the past, Shifeng had only been lucky enough to enter the VIP area after he had been promoted to a Tier 3 Sword King and obtained a few decent titles. Only the Guild Leaders and Vice Guild Leaders of first-rate Guilds or players who had reached Tier 5 were qualified to enter the VIP area. As for the luxury area, Shifeng had no idea what was being auctioned there. Only God's Domain's overlords and apex powerhouses knew about this secret.
Shifeng arrived at the auction on the 66th floor.
The Auction House was about the size of a football field, and it was already packed with players. Every one of these NPCs was a noble or above. It would be very difficult to compete with these NPCs for items. After all, these NPCs' main purpose was to prevent players from obtaining items without competition.
To put it bluntly, the Auction House had set up the auction house. If a player's bid did not meet the required standards, an NPC would bid for the item. It was impossible to take advantage of this situation.
After everyone was seated, the auction officially began. A white-bearded old man walked onto the stage and announced the start of the auction. He then took out the auction items one by one.
The first item to be auctioned was a Level 20 Secret-Silver Breastplate. The starting bid was 2 Gold.
"The Attributes are not bad, but the price is too expensive." Shi Feng called out the Observation Window. After checking the Attributes of the equipment, he immediately gave up.
Although the equipment was good, he couldn't use it now.
If they had really bought it for 2 Gold Coins, the Shifeng might have considered it. However, the NPCs were competing with each other, and the price had already reached 7 Gold Coins.
If he sold it to a first-rate Guild, he definitely wouldn't be able to sell it for 7 Gold. At most, he'd sell it for 3 to 4 Gold. After all, to ordinary players, even Copper Coins were precious, not to mention Gold Coins.
Following which, he took out one piece of Secret-Silver Equipment after another. He even took out a piece of Fine-Gold Equipment. However, none of them caught the Shifeng's eye.
The reason was simple, it was too expensive.
If ordinary players reached Level 20 or so, the price of these equipment would become much cheaper. However, God's Domain had only been launched for a short period of time, and the average player was only Level 4. How could they possibly have that much money?
Half an hour later, the equipment auction ended, and other items began to be auctioned.
"The next item to be auctioned is a Weapon Forging Design. This Weapon Forging Design is the masterpiece of Master Corian. The starting bid is 3 Gold Coins."
Immediately, Shifeng's interest was piqued, and he inspected the item.
[Silver Dawn One-handed Sword Forging Design] (Secret-Silver Rank) Level 10
Seeing the Secret-Silver Weapon, Shifeng knew that his luck had come. Moreover, it was a Level 10 Weapon Forging Design. It was definitely something he needed the most. Moreover, his Abyssal Blade required 10 Secret-Silver Weapons to level up. With this Weapon Forging Design, obtaining a Secret-Silver Weapon would be a piece of cake.
However, aside from Shifeng, some other forgers also wanted to use the Weapon Forging Design as a reference. After all, it was a Secret-Silver Weapon Forging Design, and it was extremely rare.
In a short moment, the price reached 6 Gold Coins.
Shifeng gritted his teeth, shouting, "7 Gold!"
"7 Gold 30 Silver."
"7 Gold 50 Silver."
"8 Gold."
The NPCs madly bid, and the price steadily rose.
"Crap, I'll bid 15 Gold!" Just as the price was about to reach 13 Gold, Shifeng immediately increased the price by 2 Gold, shocking these NPCs and telling them of his determination. If the price continued to rise, even he would not be able to afford it. After all, he only had 20 Gold left.
"16 Gold!"
The price of this Weapon Forging Design was only around 15 Gold. Shifeng did not expect that there would be NPCs competing for it.
"17 Gold!" Shifeng decided to go all out. If that NPC forger bid again, he would raise the price to 20 Gold. If not, then he could only accept his bad luck.
Finally, the NPC forger shook his head at this price, no longer competing.
"Congratulations to Mister Hei Yan for winning Master Corian's Silver Dawn Forging Design," the white-bearded old man clapped his hands as he congratulated Shi Feng.
After Shifeng obtained the Weapon Forging Design, he finally released a sigh of relief. This trip to the Auction House was not in vain. As for the 17 Gold he spent, sooner or later, he would earn it back through the Silver Dawn.
After auctioning off the Weapon Forging Design, the white-bearded old man continued, "The next item is the super rare skill for melee jobs, Thunder Flame Explosion. The starting price is 5 Gold."
[Thunder Flame Explosion] Requirement: Melee Weapon (Action-type) Causes 200 base damage to all enemies within a 5-yard radius, in addition to Thunder Flame damage, and stuns enemies for 4 seconds. Cooldown: 45 seconds
Shifeng's eyes shone when he saw the skill. This Thunder Flame Explosion was definitely a super skill for melee jobs. It was definitely a treasure of this auction.
"What should I do? I don't have enough money now." Shifeng greatly desired this skill book. However, the starting price was already 5 Gold. In the end, the final price was at least 20 Gold.
Just as Shifeng was worrying, the price had already risen to 10 Gold. It was much hotter than the Silver Dawn.
Shifeng could only hurriedly call out the Virtual Trade Center, canceling the remaining Gold for sale.
"Not bad." Shifeng released a sigh of relief. He discovered that he still had 23 Gold left in the Virtual Trade Center. Adding his current Gold, he barely had 30 Gold left. He should be able to gamble on this Thunder Flame Explosion Skill Book.
"20 Gold!" Shifeng hurriedly shouted.
"20 Gold. This Mister Hei Yan has bid 20 Gold. I wonder if anyone is still interested? This is the only treasure of this auction. Everyone, please don't miss out on it."
Shifeng could not help but look down on this white-bearded old man.
"21 Gold."
"Since it's a treasure, it must be extraordinary. I bid 24 Gold," a Tier 2 Sword Master said boldly.
"I bid 26 Gold," a Tier 3 Shadowman shouted.
…
The majority of the NPCs in the auction venue were melee jobs. Hence, the competition was extremely intense. Moreover, the high-tiered NPCs were all extraordinarily wealthy. They could easily earn several Gold Coins as a reward for completing a random quest. Their money-making speed was extremely fast. If Shifeng had not earned a lot previously, he would not have qualified to compete with these high-tiered NPCs.
These high-tiered NPCs were getting more and more arrogant. There were even Tier 4 players bidding.
It looked like the price was about to exceed Shifeng's bottom line.
