The Candlelight Auction had attracted so many players because of the Holy City slots and Stone Forest Town's private houses.
The various major powers might not care about a town's private houses, but they were extremely important to independent players.
"I have to buy one this time! That way, I can go to Stone Forest Town's Battle Arena whenever I want! I refuse to believe that I can't beat those experts!"
"Stone Forest Town's houses are a good training ground."
…
Many of the independent experts and adventurer teams in the first-floor hall stared at the introduction on the stage, their eyes glowing with excitement.
Stone Forest Town was no longer the same as it had been before the Guild War. Not only was the town's Mana density much higher, but the number of wandering merchants visiting the town had also increased. Most importantly, the Battle Arena had attracted more expert players.
Not only could players watch hundreds of battles between expert players every day, but they could also participate in the Battle Arena's competition. They could also learn rumored combat techniques and enjoy many benefits.
However, traveling to and from Stone Forest Town was still somewhat inconvenient. If they could buy a private house, traveling to and from Stone Forest Town would be much easier.
"Now that everyone has seen the introduction, the starting bid is 300 Gold! Each increment must be no less than 10 Gold! Let's begin!"
As soon as A Melancholy Smile's announcement, the players in the first-floor hall began to shout their bids.
"310 Gold!"
"320 Gold!"
…
"500 Gold!"
The price soared so quickly that it left everyone speechless.
Five hundred Gold was enough to purchase a relatively good house in an NPC town. However, this price clearly hadn't reached Stone Forest Town's limit.
Only when the price reached 610 Gold did an adventurer team purchase the house.
The various major powers were envious of this situation.
Houses in player towns were extremely cheap. The cheapest houses cost 20 Gold, while the most expensive ones only cost 100 Gold. At the same time, the more expensive a house was, the more space it would take up. To save space, the Ling YI Society definitely wouldn't choose to construct a house for 100 Gold. Needless to say, they would only construct a house for 20 Gold.
Now, however, each house sold for over 600 Gold. They had made a killing.
The Candlelight Auction had a total of 50 houses for sale this time. Compared to the number of adventurer teams and expert players present, this number was insignificant.
Aside from the initial price of 610 Gold, the subsequent prices increased steadily. Among the 50 houses, the most expensive one had sold for 740 Gold, while the average house had sold for 650 Gold. In total, Shi Feng had earned 32500 Gold from selling all 50 houses.
Although this amount was nothing to a superpower, it was a massive sum to a first-rate Guild. It was more than enough to purchase plenty of Common Mounts for the Guild's elite members. At the same time, it was enough to purchase weapons and equipment to improve the quality of the Guild Warehouse.
"Guild Leader, this is a rare opportunity. Should we sell a few more sets?" A Melancholy Smile suggested to Xiang Shifeng when he saw the disappointed expressions on the players' faces. He knew that the houses they were selling were far from reaching market saturation.
"No, let's stick to our original plan. Let the others know the benefits of buying houses in Stone Forest Town. That way, we won't have to worry about not being able to sell them for a higher price," the Shifeng immediately rejected the idea.
Although there were still many houses in Stone Forest Town, he had other plans.
He planned to relocate Stone Forest Town. Once he did so, he could attract more players to Stone Forest Town and sell the houses for a higher price.
He was only selling these houses now to let everyone know the benefits of owning a house.
After the auction for Stone Forest Town's private houses came to an end, the various superpowers in the second-floor rooms shifted their gazes to the stage.
The next item on the auction block was the reason they had come here today.
The slots for the Holy City of Titan!
To ordinary Guilds, these slots were of little use. However, it was a different story for superpowers like them. These slots might allow one of their Guild's famous Lifestyle players to become a Master.
Meanwhile, a Master Lifestyle player had the power to transform a trading firm.
Once the trading firm earned enough funds, their Guild's development would be much faster and easier.
"So, this is the Holy City of Titan?" A white-bearded old man's eyes glowed as he looked at the introduction to the Holy City's slots on the stage. "Beichen, you have to secure the Holy City's slots this time. This is what we agreed on back then."
The old man on the stage did not explain much about the Holy City's slots. Instead, he revealed information about the Holy City of Titan.
If one were a member of Titan's Lifestyle Association, one could rent a Workshop inside. The Workshop's Mana density far exceeded that of the Basic Meditation Room. Moreover, the floating island in the middle floor even had a Research Room, which allowed players to browse the data of various materials. In addition, there were plenty of Master Crafting videos and key production notes.
There were even Grandmaster Crafting videos. However, players needed to enter the Research Room to view these videos.
Only, the prices were very high. Just a Basic Research Room cost 200 Gold per day, an Intermediate Research Room cost 500 Gold per day, and an Advanced Research Room cost 1,200 Gold per day. Even the various superpowers present gasped at these prices.
However, whether it was an Intermediate or Advanced Research Room, one could not rent one just because they wanted to. One also needed to have a certain amount of Reputation to do so.
"Master Fire, rest assured. Our Battle Wolves is a man of our word. We will definitely secure a slot for you," Sirius said respectfully to the old man beside him.
At the same time, the other powers in the second-floor rooms were also in high spirits. They were determined to secure a slot for themselves.
"Everyone has seen the Holy City slots. The starting bid is 500 Gold, and each increment must be no less than 100 Gold. If you don't have enough, you can use the city's Land as collateral. However, we will only use the city's Land as collateral.
Now, let's begin! "After A Melancholy Smile announced the auction's rules, the atmosphere in the auction hall reached its peak.
"Five hundred Gold!"
"Six hundred Gold!"
"Eight hundred Gold!"
…
In the blink of an eye, the price had reached 3,000 Gold, stupefying everyone. The first-rate Guilds present immediately chose to give up on the slots. With such a price, one could purchase a relatively good plot of Land in an ordinary NPC city. The remaining players were the superpowers in the second-floor rooms.
The Holy City slots were similar to the Thunder Island Passes. To those who needed them, the slots were very expensive. To those who didn't, however, they were worthless. The various superpowers all had a batch of players who were close to becoming Master Lifestyle players. Only, they didn't understand God's Domain's materials and production techniques. Hence, they had yet to become Master Lifestyle players.
As long as the various superpowers obtained the Holy City slots, they were confident that they could nurture Master Lifestyle players, further improving their trading firm's strength. At that time, the benefits they could reap would be far greater than what they were currently paying.
"Five thousand Gold!" Sirius immediately increased the price by 2,000 Gold.
"This lunatic. It seems he's determined to get this slot." The other superpowers could not help but shake their heads and give up. It wasn't that they couldn't afford the price. Rather, the price was simply too high. Their money didn't grow on trees. The 3,000-plus Gold purchase had already exceeded their expectations. Moreover, the various superpowers were busy developing their Guilds and preparing for the contest on Thunder Island. They didn't have that many Coins on hand. Hence, they decided to give Sirius one of the slots for now.
In any case, there were only ten slots available. On average, each of the seven superpowers would get one slot. There was no need to rush. They could also use this opportunity to whittle down Battle Wolves' funds. This way, Battle Wolves wouldn't be able to compete with them in the following auction.
Following which, the auction for the second slot began.
