"If that's not enough, you can become one of our Vice Guild Leaders. You can also form your own elite team and maintain your independence. What do you think?" Shifeng added. * * *
Twilight Echo's abandonment of a future Tier 6 God-ranked powerhouse was tantamount to severing both of their arms.
The reason he said severing both of their arms was because without Shiuse Qiangwei, that Tier 6 God-ranked friend of his would not have joined Twilight Echo. This was equivalent to Twilight Echo losing two future God-ranked powerhouses.
Meanwhile, Shifeng had single-handedly contributed to all of this. Although it was an unintentional mistake, Twilight Echo was in for a tragedy.
If they could rope Shiuse Qiangwei into the Guild as well, Shifeng would be filled with anticipation for the Guild's future.
"Even if I agree to your offer, I still have a group of subordinates. They are all in the Storm Empire. Even if I can afford the high teleportation fees, they can't. Moreover, they left Twilight Echo because of me. I have to account for them. I'm truly sorry." Although Shifeng's offer was very tempting, Shiuse Qiangwei would not abandon his subordinates.
"Are there a lot of people?" Shifeng asked.
"Around a hundred. Master Hei Yan, you should give up. Even Twilight Echo can't afford the teleportation fees." Shiuse Qiangwei naturally understood why Shifeng would ask such a question.
Teleporting a single person across countries was very expensive, not to mention crossing multiple countries. Even a rough estimate would cost two or three Gold Coins. With over a hundred people, that would be two or three hundred Gold Coins.
Not to mention a single first-rate Guild, even ten first-rate Guilds would not be able to afford such a sum.
Shifeng simply did not have that many Gold Coins.
"A hundred? Fortunately, that's not a lot." Shifeng breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that there would be over a thousand players. If that were the case, his heart would ache. "Then, come to the Starmoon Kingdom together. I'll pay for the teleportation fees. "
Previously, he had earned so much from Twilight Echo. Now, he could return it to Shiuse Qiangwei. If Glorious Echo were to find out about this, he would probably vomit three liters of blood.
"Master Hei Yan, that's two or three hundred gold coins, not two or three gold coins," Shiuse Qiangwei reminded.
"Mhm, I know. I'll send you the 300 Gold Coins very soon. When you arrive in White River City, just come find me at the Starstreak Trading Firm," Shifeng said before disconnecting the call. The Blackwing Auction had already begun.
On the other hand, Shiuse Qiangwei was shocked.
"What kind of power is behind Master Hei Yan? How can someone possess such frightening financial strength? They can take out 300 Gold Coins just like that. Could they be one of those Super Guilds? " Shiuse Qiangwei heard Shifeng's casual tone, as if the 300 Gold wasn't 300 Gold but 2 or 3 Gold. Immediately, Shiuse Qiangwei shook his head and said, "That's not right. Even those Super Guilds can't take out 300 Gold so easily."
"How interesting. However, once I reach White River City, I'll find out the answer," Shiuse Qiangwei said, a faint smile appearing on his face. Inwardly, he was filled with anticipation.
Meanwhile, inside the Blackwing Auction Hall … A large number of players had already filled the hall. Among them, the majority were the upper echelons of the various large Guilds.
These Guilds had gone all out to accumulate Coins for today's auction.
After all, they had already inquired about the auction. Even in the normal area, there were plenty of astonishing items. For example, there were Fine-Gold Equipment and Dark-Gold Equipment materials. There was even a chance for Dark-Gold Weapons and legendary Epic items to appear. As long as one had sufficient Coins, they could obtain them.
After a few pre-auctions, the atmosphere in the hall had already heated up.
This was because of the items being auctioned. Every single item was something that players desired. However, Shifeng did not show much interest in them. This was because the items being auctioned were all Mysterious-Iron rank. Although these items were quite useful to Guild elite players, they were not of much use to Shifeng.
However, when the next item came up for auction, everyone's eyes lit up. They were all very interested in it.
This was because it was a Fine-Gold ranked dagger.
[Frost Thorn] (Dagger, Fine-Gold Rank) Level 15 Attack + 134 Strength + 18, Agility + 24, Endurance + 15 Additional Passive Skill- Power of Winter: Causes 50% frost damage to the target and reduces target's Movement Speed and Attack Speed by 50% for 4 seconds.
If an Assassin equipped this dagger, they would be like a tiger that had grown wings. Although they might not be able to kill their enemies in one hit, with the Movement Speed Reduction, they could use their other combos to finish off their enemies.
Aside from the Frost Thorn, there was also a Flame Dagger. Similarly, the dagger was of Fine-Gold rank. Level 15. However, the dagger's Additional Skill was Power of Scorching Flames. Deals 50% fire damage to the target and reduces the target's Defense by 10%. Stacks up to a maximum of 5 times.
Due to the appearance of these two daggers, every Assassin in the hall grew excited. They could not help but wish they could obtain these two daggers immediately.
Whether it was the Movement Speed Reduction or Armor Break effect, as well as the additional 50% magic damage, these were all items that Assassins needed the most. One could say that these two daggers were the best weapons available to Assassins at this stage of the game.
However, the starting price of these two daggers also caused many players to lament their inadequacy.
Moreover, this was only the starting price. Moreover, each increment could not be less than 10 Silver Coins. If a competition really broke out, this price would increase by a significant margin. In other words, if a large Guild purchased this pair of daggers, they would not be able to compete in the following items in the auction.
If one did not have a special need, they would not purchase this pair of daggers in one go.
"Not bad. These are indeed top-tier weapons for Level 15 Assassins. I'll buy them for Fire Dance," Shifeng said in satisfaction after looking at the daggers' Attributes.
"Wonderful! The heavens have not forsaken me! This is the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire that Assassins have always sought after! If I gift this dagger to the Guild Leader, the Guild Leader will definitely be very happy! He might even decide to reconsider my punishment!" Joking Scholar, who sat in the front row of the auction house, said as he looked at the Frost Thorn and the Flame Dagger. His eyes narrowed into slits, a crimson glow flashed in his eyes. If this were not an auction house, and there were Level 200 guards standing guard nearby, he would have most likely rushed up to the two daggers already.
After the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, the entire hall went into an uproar.
"I bid 5 Gold!"
"5 Gold, 50 Silver!"
"6 Gold!"
…
Less than a minute after the start of the auction, the price of the pair of daggers had already reached 7 Gold, 20 Silver. The majority of the Guilds had already given up when they saw this price.
"Hahaha! Who asked you to compete? Do you think you can outbid me?" Joking Scholar was brimming with confidence right now. He was not afraid of anyone surpassing his bid. Moreover, the auction had only just begun. Nobody could guarantee what would appear later on. He would definitely hold back. He was not afraid of anyone competing with him.
Seeing that no one else was competing, Shifeng opened his mouth and said, "10 Gold."
Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent. Although this pair of daggers was a top-tier weapon for Assassins, this price was simply too high. It was not that the pair of daggers was not worth this price. Rather, not many people could afford it at this stage of the game. They did not even have that many Gold Coins on them right now. If it were Credits, many people would rush to buy the daggers even if the price was 500,000 Credits.
"Hei Yan! Damn it! He actually dares to compete with me! How does he have so much money?!" Joking Scholar was on the verge of going insane. If he were to bid an even higher price, the remaining items would no longer have anything to do with him. However, if he did not buy the daggers, his future would be bleak.
In the end, Joking Scholar roared, "10 Gold, 20 Silver!"
Shifeng simply smiled, casually saying, "12 Gold."
"12 Gold, 10 Silver!" Joking Scholar clutched his chest, vomiting blood as he roared. At this moment, he wished he could eat Shifeng alive for making him spend so much money.
"How annoying! 20 Gold!" Shifeng did not wish to waste his time with Joking Scholar. Immediately, he abruptly increased the price by a large margin. He did not care about such a small amount of money at all. After all, he had earned a fortune from Twilight Echo today.
"Hei Yan!" Joking Scholar glared at Xiang Shifeng, despair filling his eyes. He only had 18 Gold on him right now. He had no way of competing with Twilight Echo at all. He had never imagined that, at the very end, Hei Yan, whom he had always looked down on, would deal him the final blow, sending him into the abyss of despair.
However, Shifeng could not be bothered with Joking Scholar at all. He did not even spare Joking Scholar a glance as he shifted his attention to the next auction item.
