"They actually know each other?"
Shifeng was a little shocked as he looked at the trio walking together. Δ
He had never imagined that the Wind God's Spear was actually related to the Flower of Seven Sins …
The Flower of Seven Sins was so powerful that even Level 1 Guilds did not dare provoke it. Among them, the most famous members of the organization were those with the title of Seven Sins. Meanwhile, the beautiful woman before him was none other than the Flower of Seven Sins' Pride.
Hidden Soul!
In the past, someone had entrusted the Flower of Seven Sins with the task of killing the Guild Leader of an Level 1 Guild. The Flower of Seven Sins had completed the task. Meanwhile, Hidden Soul had been one of the assassins.
Aside from the fact that the Guild Leader of an Level 1 Guild was extraordinarily strong, the Guild Leader would also have a large number of peak experts by his or her side. Killing an Level 1 Guild Leader was practically impossible. Yet, the Flower of Seven Sins had done it.
As a result, Hidden Soul had become famous. To put it in another way, she had shocked the entire virtual gaming world.
"Autumn, is he an acquaintance of yours?" Hidden Soul asked softly as she glanced at Shifeng when she saw the slightly excited expression on Autumn Goose's face.
Currently, Shifeng wore a Black Cloak, so she could not detect his level. However, the fact that he could enter the Dark Auction proved that he was of high status.
"Mhm. Ye Feng is the expert I told you about. If he hadn't helped the Wind God's Spear last time, we would've most likely suffered heavy losses," Autumn Goose said, nodding.
"That's right. If not for Brother Ye Feng's help, we would've been trapped in the Trial of God. In the end, we wouldn't have been able to leave," Fallen Wind said.
"So, it's him." Hidden Soul could not help but give Shifeng a few more glances.
While Hidden Soul quietly observed Shifeng, Fallen Wind and Autumn Goose took the initiative to approach Xiang Shifeng and greet him.
"Brother Ye Feng, long time no see," Fallen Wind said, smiling. "I hadn't expected Brother Ye Feng to participate in the auction as well. Why don't you join me?"
He had witnessed the strength of the Shifeng with his own eyes, and he had nothing but admiration for the strength of the Shifeng. It was also thanks to the Shifeng that his combat level had improved. If possible, he really wanted to exchange pointers with the Shifeng.
"That's right. We came here with Big Sister Lingyin. Big Sister Lingyin has an invitation card that allows her to go directly to the second floor. She'll be able to find out about the items in the auction ahead of time. That way, it'll be more convenient for her when the time comes." Autumn Goose nodded.
Shifeng had originally wondered why Fallen Wind and Autumn Goose were so surprised to see him. Logically speaking, he had just fought in the arena. However, after hearing their words, he understood what was going on.
Most people weren't interested in the Dark Arena's matches. After all, the various superpowers hadn't revealed their true strength yet. However, the Dark Auction was a different story.
Hence, many people did not go to watch the competition. They only entered the Dark Arena after the auction started. Hence, it was normal that they did not know about him.
Moreover, Fallen Wind and Autumn Goose had been brought here by Hidden Soul. They had no idea about the Asura Battle Team.
After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng agreed to Fallen Wind and Autumn Goose's enthusiastic invitation.
The second floor's rooms weren't a place anyone could enter. Only superpowers enjoyed such treatment. First-rate Guilds didn't even need to think about it. As for second-rate Guilds, just being able to participate in the auction would be a great honor.
As Autumn Goose had said, the second-floor rooms had the privilege of knowing about all the items in the auction ahead of time. This way, they could allocate their money appropriately. This was an advantage that came with their status and identity. First-rate Guilds, for example, could only wait for the items to arrive one by one.
While Shifeng chatted with Fallen Wind as they made their way upstairs, Hidden Soul suddenly pulled Autumn Goose aside and whispered, "Is he the reason why Rain refuses to leave the Guild?"
"I'm not sure, either. I only know that Ye Feng has done a few quests with Rain. After that, no matter how I tried to persuade her, she refused to leave the Ling YI Society. However, the Ling YI Society is indeed amazing. Now that I think about it, I'm a little envious of Rain," Autumn Goose said, shaking her head.
"So, that's how it is." Hearing Autumn Goose's words, Hidden Soul's eyes turned cold as she looked at Shifeng's back. "It seems that I'll have to find an opportunity to get to know him better."
…
The private rooms on the Dark Auction's second floor were as large as basketball courts. Aside from the service staff, there were also many precious drinks and fine wines placed on the tables. Every bottle could easily sell for 50 to 60 Silver, and some even cost over 3 Gold. Players could drink as much as they wanted. It was clear just how wealthy the Dark Auction was.
Fallen Wind gulped when he saw the fine wine on the table.
Even he couldn't bear to drink wine that cost 3 Gold. Normally, he would only drink fine wine that cost several dozen Silver.
After Shifeng and the others took their seats, one of the service staff members took out the auction list and handed it to each of them.
"Dear guests, this auction will be divided into two stages. The first stage will be the auction hosted by us. All of the items to be auctioned are on the list. The second stage will be bartering. If you have any items you wish to trade, our auction house will advertise them on your behalf. However, to ensure the quality of the items being traded, we will charge a processing fee of 40 Magic Crystals or 10 Gold Coins for each item. If you wish to trade raw materials, we will charge 60 Magic Crystals or 15 Gold Coins for each stack."
After everyone received the list, the service staff member explained the general process of the Dark Auction.
Fallen Wind and Autumn Goose frowned when they heard this.
"Isn't this a little too much?" Autumn Goose muttered.
The service staff was only advertising the items to be traded. They hadn't even confirmed whether the trade would be successful, yet the service staff was charging 40 Magic Crystals or 10 Gold Coins. This was daylight robbery!
Even expert players would need a long time to earn 10 Gold Coins. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to worry about the cost of Mounts.
At this moment, Fallen Wind and Autumn Goose finally understood. Could it be that they were the ones paying for all the expensive wine in the second-floor rooms?
Aside from being interested in the items the organizers were auctioning, they were also here to barter. After all, many of the treasures in God's Domain were priceless. There was no need for them to trade for Coins or Magic Crystals. On the contrary, they were more willing to use Coins and Magic Crystals to purchase items that couldn't be found on the market.
Hidden Soul simply smiled at Autumn Goose's reaction.
Anyone who received an invitation to a room on the second floor was an existence of extremely high status. To them, 40 Magic Crystals or 10 Gold Coins were peanuts.
Moreover, the organizers were doing this to ensure the quality of the items they offered. If the items weren't particularly valuable, spending 10 Gold Coins to trade would be a waste.
None of the people present were in need of money. Naturally, they wouldn't waste their time on these shoddy items.
After the service staff member finished his explanation, three people walked out from the center of the hall. Two of them were tall and beautiful female players. They were in charge of displaying the items to the crowd. The third was a middle-aged man. He was clearly the host of the auction.
However, as soon as these three people stepped onto the stage, the entire hall fell silent.
