As soon as the auction for Stone Forest City's private houses began, the situation descended into a frenzy. Contrary to what ordinary players thought, very few people competed for the houses. On the contrary, everyone's eyes were bloodshot as if they were fighting for cabbages. They would fight anyone who dared to compete with them.
The atmosphere in the auction hall was extraordinarily high and lively.
"Is this a joke?! Someone is actually bidding 50,000 Credits for a one-month house?! Are these people insane?! "the Level 56 female Cleric beside Tian Tong exclaimed.
In her opinion, Stone Forest City's private houses were indeed excellent. One could easily enter and exit the Bottomless Abyss and save a lot of time traveling back to the city. Players could also recover their Stamina and Concentration faster, which would also increase their leveling speed. However, the increase was very limited. Leveling speed still depended on players' own standards.
Previously, in her opinion, the price of 30,000 Credits had already been very high. Not many players could afford it. Now, however, everyone was going crazy. More than a hundred people were bidding for the Auction House. Before some of them could even make a bid, others had already surpassed them. The number of rich players was increasing.
In the blink of an eye, the price had risen to 50,000 Credits per month …
"No. These people understand the true value of Stone Forest City's private houses," Tian Tong said, shaking her head. Shaking her head, Tian Tong said, "Compared to leveling up in a private house, saving time on the way back is far more important. With that time, you can train in Stone Forest City. I've heard that Stone Forest City's Mana density far surpasses the Divine Colosseum's. Just by staying in the city, you can improve your mind and body's reaction speed. If you train in the city for a long time, you'll improve much faster than outside."
In God's Domain, levels and equipment were meaningless. One's own strength was the foundation of everything.
To true experts, nothing was more important than improving their combat standards. This was also why Tian Tong wanted to rent a private house in Stone Forest City.
While Tian Tong was explaining, the bidding price had already risen to 65,000 Credits. The ordinary players in the auction hall could only sigh.
"Seventy thousand!" Tian Tong shouted.
"Eighty thousand!" Very quickly, a Level 68 Ranger placed an even higher bid.
"Two hundred thousand! At this moment, a Level 69 Berserker shouted. "I'm taking the first house!"
As soon as this Level 69 Berserker made his bid, the auction hall fell into an uproar.
"Two hundred thousand? Isn't that enough to rent a mansion in the city?! "
"Fei Yu, the 26th ranked Berserker in the Dark Night Empire, is here?"
"That's not right. I've heard that Fei Yu defeated two peak experts from the first-rate Guild Blood Jade Family. He's already ranked 23rd on the Berserker List. I've even heard that superpowers are trying to recruit him and are offering astronomical prices."
"It seems that the first private house in Stone Forest City will belong to Fey."
The spectating players couldn't help their astonishment when they saw Fei Yu's imposing appearance. This was especially true for ordinary players. They simply couldn't understand why a great expert like Fei Yu was willing to spend 200,000 Credits to rent a private house in Stone Forest City for one month. This was insane.
However, before the host's hammer could hit the first ring, a voice reverberated throughout the entire venue.
"Four hundred thousand credits! Our Blue Sky adventurer team wants it! I hope everyone can give us some face! "a Level 70 Guardian Knight suddenly declared.
.......................................
. "What?! Blue Sky's commander, Empty Nine Heavens, is here?! "
The Blue Sky adventurer team ranked among the top five adventurer teams in the Dark Night Empire. Empty Nine Heavens, the adventurer team's commander, was one of the empire's Ten Great Guardian Knights. It was rumored that he was no weaker than the various superpowers' peak experts. He had single-handedly elevated the Blue Sky adventurer team into one of the empire's top five adventurer teams. Even Starlink's Elders had tried to recruit him.
"Empty Nine Heavens, this is an auction. Money speaks louder than words." At this time, a robust Level 70 Assassin stepped forward and said, "The Windwave adventurer team won't waste time. Five hundred thousand!"
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Six hundred and fifty thousand!"
For a time, both sides made their bids, neither of them willing to back down. Silence filled the auction hall.
"Is this necessary? Isn't it just a private house? "
"That's right! This is only the first. It's not like there won't be any more. "
"Are these two adventurer teams trying to make the auction go on?"
None of the spectators could understand why the two top adventurer teams in the Dark Night Empire were bidding over each other just to rent a private house in Stone Forest City …
This was only the first private house in the auction. There were plenty more to come. The two top adventurer teams could've just given up on bidding. There was no need for them to go this far.
"How is this possible?" Tian Tong's expression darkened.
Originally, she had sold that treasure and prepared a few more for herself. She had accumulated 300,000 Credits, which should've been enough to rent a private house in Stone Forest City. In fact, she should've been able to rent the house until she reached Level 100. Now, however, she didn't even qualify to bid …
Meanwhile, Tian Tong's companions were stupefied.
In the end, Empty Nine Heavens won the first private house for 860,000 Credits, shocking the entire auction hall.
Just when everyone thought that the Blue Sky adventurer team and the Windwave adventurer team were merely trying to create a gimmick, the Windwave adventurer team's bidding price suddenly changed.
"Five hundred thousand!"
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
As soon as the bidding for the second private house began, the bidding started at 500,000 Credits. In the end, the house sold for 930,000 Credits …
The third private house sold for 880,000 Credits, while the fourth sold for 890,000 Credits. Moreover, all of these private houses were purchased by the commanders of the various adventurer teams. No ordinary player had a chance to purchase one.
When the bidding for the eleventh private house began, the various Guild members in the VIP rooms finally made their move.
"One million!"
"One million, two hundred thousand!"
…
As the various large Guilds made their moves, the adventurer teams no longer had to worry about. The lowest bid reached 1.5 million Credits.
"This is insane! These people must be hired! "the female Cleric beside Tian Tong exclaimed." That's right! They must be hired! "
Although the female Cleric said so, Tian Tong didn't think so. In fact, many of the expert players present didn't think so, either.
After all, every one of the players bidding for the private houses was a well-known figure in the Dark Night Empire. No matter how influential Ling Yi was, she shouldn't have been able to hire so many VIPs to compete for the private houses.
Seeing the various large Guilds' upper echelons competing for the first private house, many of the spectating players finally understood why Blue Sky and Windwave had fought so hard for the first private house in Stone Forest City. The various large Guilds had secretly given in to these top adventurer teams. However, they couldn't give in too much. Ten private houses were more than enough for the empire's top adventurer teams to split.
"Do independent players like us not qualify to bid for the private houses in Stone Forest City?" Tian Tong could not help but smile bitterly as she watched the private houses in Stone Forest City being sold one after another.
