The price of 20 Gold Coins shocked every player in the room.
Players capable of attending the Blackwing Auction were not ordinary. However, they still could not afford such a price.
Although the players present had received a lot of Wealth from their Guilds, it was only a little over ten Gold. Even the wealthiest Guilds only had around 20 Gold. Hence, it was unlikely that they would make such a big fuss over two daggers. Even if the two daggers were Level 15 super-top-tier weapons that could allow an expert Assassin to instantly become a top-tier Assassin, they would not be of any substantial help to a Guild.
Even if these people could afford the daggers, they would not spend 20 Gold to purchase them.
After the hammer struck and announced the winner for the third time, the crowd's expressions changed from shock to ridicule.
"This fellow is too foolish. He actually spent 20 Gold for two daggers. I wonder who he is trying to curry favor with?"
"Hahaha! We have one less competitor!"
"20 Gold! What a tycoon!"
Following which, Shifeng paid the 20 Gold, obtaining the two daggers. He then began the auction for the next item.
[Purgatory's Shadow] (One-handed Sword, Dark-Gold Rank) Level 20
Attack Power + 273
Strength + 30, Agility + 25, Endurance + 22 Attack Speed + 2
20% chance to cause 300% damage. 10% chance to reduce damage dealt by target by 20% for 30 seconds. Cannot be stacked.
Additional Skill- Purgatory Power: Increases Attack Speed by 100% and damage by 30% for 15 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes
In God's Domain, weapons and equipment could be categorized into two types. One was upgradable, while the other was non-upgradable.
The majority of weapons and equipment could not be upgraded. Only a very small number of rare weapons and equipment could be upgraded. Generally, Epic ranked weapons and equipment could automatically upgrade as players leveled up. However, very few weapons and equipment below Epic rank had such an ability.
"It can be upgraded twice? As expected of an auction's treasure. It can be upgraded to Level 30. Players can use it all the way to Level 45 without being eliminated. " Shifeng was very satisfied with this weapon. He could wait until he reached Level 20 to equip the Purgatory's Shadow. That way, he would not have to waste time searching for a weapon.
Not only was the Purgatory's Shadow suitable for Swordsmen, but it was also suitable for Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights. If an MT equipped it, not only would their HP increase significantly, but their damage would also increase significantly. They would also be able to pull monsters more stably. Most importantly, it reduced the damage they dealt to targets by 20%. It was a weapon that could be used in SS battles. It was especially important when raiding Team Dungeons.
Compared to the previous two Fine-Gold ranked daggers, this Dark-Gold ranked Purgatory's Shadow was much more useful to the Guild.
However, the starting price of the Purgatory's Shadow wasn't low.
The price of 15 Gold Coins was enough to intimidate many Guilds. They could only watch, unable to do anything.
"This sword belongs to me, no one is allowed to snatch it from me!"
"Who do you think you are? We, World Dominators, have taken a liking to this sword. Whoever dares to bid for it will be going against us."
"Do you think you're the only first-rate Guild here? Our Guild is the Bloodthirsty War God! Anyone who dares to make a bid is dead meat! "
…
Due to the base price being too high, if the competition for the Purgatory's Shadow intensified, the various first-rate Guilds began warning other Guilds, hoping to purchase the Purgatory's Shadow at a low price.
"How stupid." Shifeng shook his head helplessly.
Did these people really think that players were the only ones buying the item? Although the starting price was 15 Gold, according to Shifeng's understanding, one would need to bid at least 25 Gold to obtain the Purgatory's Shadow. Otherwise, NPCs would buy it. Did these first-rate Guilds think that they could take advantage of this loophole by threatening others?
Following the start of the bidding war, the price of the Purgatory's Shadow soared.
In an instant, the price reached 20 Gold.
Only first-rate Guilds were competing for the Purgatory's Shadow. Second-rate and third-rate Guilds simply did not have the funds to compete for the Purgatory's Shadow. They could only watch unwillingly. This was the difference between Guilds.
Meanwhile, Joking Scholar, who sat in the front row, also felt helpless at this moment. If not for Lone Tyrant tricking him, he might have long since purchased the two daggers and the Purgatory's Shadow. The other Guilds could only stand aside and watch.
After several minutes of competition, the price finally came to an end.
24 Gold 30 Silver. For a Level 20 top-tier Dark-Gold Weapon, this price was truly low. Not to mention, it was a Dark-Gold Weapon that could be upgraded.
"Hahaha! This Purgatory's Shadow belongs to me!" Seeing that there was no competition, the Berserker from World Dominators cheered.
The members of the other Guilds could only reveal expressions of unwillingness. The Auction House was not a competition of strength. Rather, it was a competition of wealth.
Just as the hammer struck for the second time, someone finally made a bid. Moreover, there was more than one bid.
"25 Gold."
"26 Gold."
"This sword's design is very good. It can be kept as a collector's item. I bid 30 Gold."
At this moment, a great noble of Blackwing City placed an astonishing bid, stupefying all the Guilds present.
"Why is an NPC competing for it?"
This question puzzled everyone. If an NPC competed with them, how were they supposed to compete? That was an NPC. Moreover, he was a great noble of Blackwing City. How could players possibly compete with him?
"Damn it! This Auction House is clearly toying with us! They only want us to compete for non-rare items!"
"If I had known this would happen, I would've bought those two Fine-Gold ranked daggers."
"That person sure is lucky. I never thought that he would get two daggers so easily."
At this moment, many players regretted their actions. They never thought that the Auction House would play such a trick.
"31 Gold."
At this moment, a familiar … cold voice rang out in the auction hall. Everyone's gaze shifted towards the source of this cold voice. Every one of them was incomparably shocked, their eyes revealing expressions of disbelief.
The person who shouted this price was the Shifeng who had previously spent 20 Gold to purchase the two Fine-Gold ranked daggers. Now, he bid 31 Gold again.
"Just how much money does this fellow have?" Everyone wondered if the Shifeng had robbed an NPC noble. Otherwise, how could he be so rich?
After Shi Feng placed a bid of 31 Gold, the Great Noble placed a bid of 32 Gold.
However, the Shifeng was not willing to fall behind, shouting 33 Gold.
The two sides went back and forth, and the price kept rising. The crowd was stunned and dumbfounded.
In the end, the Shifeng bought the Purgatory's Shadow for 39 Gold.
Following which, several rounds of auctions occurred. The average price of the Purgatory's Shadow was not too high. Compared to the Purgatory's Shadow that the Shifeng had spent 39 Gold, the price was not even worth mentioning.
In the middle of the auction, a rare item appeared. It was a Dark-Gold ranked leather armor. However, the Shifeng was not interested in it. In the end, an NPC bought it for 32 Gold.
Only when the auction reached its end did the auction finally begin for the third rare item.
This item could be considered the finale of this auction. Just the starting price of 30 Gold was enough to make all the Guilds give up on it. This was because they already knew that if they wanted to purchase this item, they would have to spend at least 50 Gold. Unless they combined the funds of several first-rate Guilds, it would be impossible to purchase this item. However, such a combination was impossible for the many first-rate Guilds.
