"There sure are a lot of high-level NPs participating in this auction," Shifeng smiled as he glanced at the NPs seated on the second floor.
"High-level NPs?" Hearing Shifeng's words, Gentle Snow could not help but look at the second floor. She discovered that there were indeed quite a few powerful NPs. "But isn't it normal for the Blackwing Auction to have high-level NPs?"
This was not her first time visiting the Blackwing Auction House. She had even been to high-ranking venues.
During an auction, players weren't the only ones competing for items. NPs would compete as well. However, after some research, she more or less understood the purpose of these NPs. Their main purpose was to ensure the value of the items being auctioned. If the price offered by players was too low, these NPs would purchase the item. They would not let players take advantage of them.
In such a large auction, these NPs would naturally join in the bidding.
However, when NPs purchased items, as long as the price was higher than the item's true value, these NPs would naturally give up. They were not considered competitors.
"It is indeed normal. I just haven't seen so many powerful NPs before, so I'm a little surprised," Shifeng explained, nodding his head.
"Tch, is there a need to make a fuss about these NPs?" Tyrannical Blade, who stood beside Shi Feng, said disdainfully.
The others nodded in agreement. Their gazes towards Shifeng were now filled with contempt. Originally, they had thought that Shifeng was an apex expert of God's Domain. Now, however, it seemed that he was nothing more than a country bumpkin. At the end of the day, he was only an upper echelon of an upstart Guild. He could not compare to them at all.
Shi Feng simply smiled in response, not saying anything further.
However, Gentle Snow's expression turned serious. She began to secretly observe the NPs on the second floor. She did not think that Shifeng would be surprised by the presence of so many high-level NPs.
"How is this possible?!" Gentle Snow's gaze swept across a man in golden armor on the second floor. When the handsome young man wearing a luxurious cloak saw this man, he was suddenly shocked.
Previously, she had not noticed this man before. Now that she took a closer look, she discovered a shocking matter.
When she looked at this handsome man, she actually could not obtain any information. She could not even see his name or basic level. Even after using an advanced Identification Skill, she still failed to obtain any information.
However, what was even more frightening was that when she shifted her gaze towards this handsome man, this handsome man actually looked back at her. Or rather, he had noticed her gaze. However, this handsome man simply smiled. Then, he looked away.
Although their gazes had only met for an instant, Gentle Snow felt as if she was suffocating. It was as if, at that moment, her life was no longer in her own hands.
This was definitely the first time she had encountered such an NPC. Even when she had met a Tier 5 NPC in an imperial capital, she had not felt this way. Meanwhile, a Tier 5 NPC was a bigshot in an empire. They were not people that players could meet just because they wanted to. She had only been fortunate enough to meet one last time because of a special quest.
In addition to that person, there were more than a dozen Tier 5 NPs on the second floor …
It could be said that all the Tier 5 NPs in the empire were added together. Even the Tier 5 NPCs on the second floor probably didn't have as many. It was no wonder Shi Feng was surprised.
"Ye Feng, there are so many high level NPCs participating in the auction. Is something going to happen here?" Gentle Snow whispered to Xiang Shifeng. He looked a little nervous.
In God's Domain, certain events often occurred. If one could complete these events, they would receive considerable returns. But it was more about being punished than the occurrence of the incident. However, regardless of whether the players agreed or not, as long as it was within the scope of this event, it would not be a problem. These players could only accept it.
Meanwhile, in God's Domain, there were both big and small events. The bigger the event, the more frightening the punishment.
The last time she had met a Tier 5 NPC, she had encountered an incident. In the end, over 99% of the tens of thousands of players in that area had died. They had also lost a lot of equipment. Only a few people had survived, and she was one of them. However, as she had not completed the quest, she had not received any rewards. Even so, compared to the players who had died, she was already very fortunate.
With so many Tier 5 NPs here, if an incident occurred, she could not imagine what would happen.
"It's not a big deal. According to the information I obtained, the value of the Blackwing Auction House's auction items depends on the number of high-level NPs participating in the auction. The more high-level NPs there are, the better the items that appear in the auction will be. Otherwise, it would not be able to attract so many NPs, who are usually elusive," Shi Feng explained, seeing through Gentle Snow's suspicion.
"So, that's how it is. No wonder you were observing the situation on the second floor." Gentle Snow finally understood what was going on. The nervousness she felt earlier also eased up.
However, Shifeng had also concealed a point.
The more high level NPCs that appeared, the higher the risk during the auction. It was especially true for the mysterious youth on the second floor.
In a game like God's Domain, it was not easy for players to survive.
In the early stages of the game, there were only fights between players. However, as players reached higher levels and grew stronger, a new type of fight would gradually appear. And that was the fight between players and NPCs.
In the past, he had been robbed by a powerful NPC …
Hence, purchasing items in Blackwing City's Auction House was not something that could be done with Coins alone. It was fine if one only wanted to purchase items from players. However, if one wanted to purchase items from NPCs, then one had to be careful. One might be able to obtain an extremely valuable item, but whether or not one could keep it in one's possession would depend on one's ability.
Just as Gentle Snow and Shifeng were secretly chatting, the auction finally began.
On the auction stage, a beautiful woman wearing a white evening gown with exquisite curves walked up to the front of the stage and began to host the auction.
However, when everyone saw this beautiful NPC, their jaws dropped in shock.
This beautiful NPC was simply too frightening. She was actually a Level 220, Tier 4 Great Wizard. If placed in any city, she would be an overlord. Yet, she was actually here to host an auction. Everyone could not help but marvel at Blackwing City's wealth.
Amidst everyone's astonishment, the first item appeared before everyone's eyes.
When everyone saw the item's description, they were momentarily stunned.
The item was actually a stone tablet made of gold. Moreover, the tablet gave off a purple-gold glow. Complex divine runes and patterns were also engraved on the tablet. With a single glance, one could tell that it was an extraordinary item.
"A Secret Skill!"
"Crap! This can't be, right?! The system is actually so generous! It's selling this item right from the start!"
"We really made the right choice this time! Our Guild must buy this item!"
"We made the right decision to come to the Blackwing Auction this time! Notify our subordinates and have them purchase as many Coins as they can! We cannot let other Guilds have this item!"
…
Ordinary large Guilds had no idea what was going on. However, a few Guilds were in an uproar. This was especially true for the Super Guilds and super-first-rate Guilds that had come to the Auction House.
"Blade, notify the Guild Elders immediately! Have them gather as much money as possible!" Hidden Cloud hurriedly shouted, an excited expression appearing on his face.
"Understood." Not daring to delay, Blade immediately rushed out of the Auction House and contacted the Guild Elders.
