Before, Yamamoto Michio had been quite unhappy with Ling Chen, and hated him to the point of gnashing his teeth. However, now that he saw Ling Chen on the Trade Stage, he felt that he was quite pleasing to the eye, and even smiled at him as he walked up. Logically speaking, the City Creation Token would only appear one or two years from now, and no one knew who it would end up in. Even though all of the Japanese players were furious that Ling Chen had taken their City Creation Token … they all knew that the reason why the City Creation Token had dropped so early was because Ling Chen had instantly killed the Celestial grade Boss. Instantly killing a Celestial grade Boss would have a much higher chance of dropping the City Creation Token. If they had killed the Golden Feathered Eagle Emperor by piling up corpses, it would have been impossible for the City Creation Token to drop.
In other words, it was because of Ling Tian that the City Creation Token had appeared early by at least a year. And now, they only needed to spend 500 million gold to obtain the right to create a City in the early stages of the game … Yamamoto Michio was so happy that he almost laughed out loud. The other guilds' bosses could only look on with envy and jealousy, but there was nothing they could do.
Yamamoto Michio grinned as he stood next to Ling Chen, and even winked at Ling Chen, seeming quite grateful and close to him. The two trading seats were placed side by side and were less than a step away from each other. Not only were the two parties under the supervision of the notary, but they were also under the supervision of each other. It was absolutely impossible for them to play any tricks.
As such, Ling Chen started to play some tricks.
He looked ahead with a serious expression on his face, and he didn't move at all. His hands were placed flat on the table in front of him … as he cast Lucky Hand towards Yamamoto Michio.
Even though Lucky Hand had a 'hand', it wasn't activated with the right hand or the left hand. This was because Lucky Hand was a 'third hand', and it was a formless, formless, and silent hand. When this hand stretched out, even someone with 250 vision wouldn't be able to see a trace of it, nor would they make any sound … not even a trace would be left behind. The only time when Lucky Hand could be detected was when Lucky Hand succeeded or failed. There was a certain probability that the other party would notice something amiss. However, with Ling Chen's current Luck, which was as high as 23 points, his Lucky Hand had a 100% success rate against players with an average Luck of 5. His Lucky Hand also had a 100% chance of not being discovered.
The invisible hand swept past Yamamoto Michio's body.
"Ding … your skill [Lucky Hand] has succeeded. You have obtained 1685660042 gold coins from Yamamoto Michio without being detected."
Ling Chen was very calm … at least on the surface. But the face under the mask was already contorting in pleasure. He had actually managed to scrounge 1.685m gold coins from Yamamoto Michio! No less than expected from the leader of Japan's number one guild. He always had so much money on him! But then again, it was not surprising that Yamamoto Michio had such a huge sum of money. After all, converting money into in-game currency was the safest way to keep it on you, and you never had to worry about it being stolen. Even if you died, you would lose levels and equipment, but you definitely wouldn't lose money. It was even safer than keeping it in a bank … of course, the only thing that wasn't as good as a bank was that the interest rate wouldn't increase.
One could easily reach 1.7 billion gold coins. Was there a better way to make money in this world!?
Kato Masa nodded and said, "In that case, let's begin the trade. Mr Yamamoto, please transfer 500 million gold coins to the Trade Desk in front of you. The screen will display the amount of gold you have transferred, and the trade will be completed. "
Yamamoto Michio smiled as he nodded. He then opened his gold coin column in high spirits. One second passed. Two seconds passed. Three seconds passed. Yamamoto Michio still hadn't placed any gold coins on the trading table. The surroundings suddenly fell silent. Everyone could see that Yamamoto Michio's face, which was originally full of joy, had suddenly stiffened … and then stiffened again … until his face had turned the color of pig liver.
"Mr Yamamoto, what's wrong? Hurry up and place the 500 million gold coins. Oh … could it be that Mr Yamamoto suddenly doesn't want the City Creation Token anymore? Or … could it be that Mr Yamamoto doesn't even have 500 million gold coins? "Ling Chen said in a serious tone.
Looking at the amount of gold he had, Yamamoto Michio started to sweat. He raised his head and forced a smile as he said, "No, no, no! I must obtain this City Creation Token, and only I can use it to its fullest potential. It's just that … it's just that I was in a bit of a rush and didn't bring enough gold … please … please wait a moment, I'll immediately go gather enough gold. "
"Shhh …" Countless players began to hiss. Didn't bring enough gold? What the hell were you doing?! Everyone had heard that the City Creation Token was being sold for 500 million gold coins yesterday, and now that he had this opportunity, he actually said that he didn't have enough gold! Had he been kicked in the head by a donkey? You're the leader of Japan's number one guild!
Yamamoto Michio felt so sullen that he wanted to die. In order to obtain this City Creation Token, he had made ample preparations. In order to be safe, he had asked someone to exchange 2 billion gold coins for him yesterday … but when he opened his gold window, he found that he only had 430 million gold coins … he didn't have 500 million gold coins!
Hearing this, Ling Chen's expression became serious as he said in a righteous tone, "Mr Yamamoto, wasting everyone's time is unforgivable. Moreover, we've already stated that if you don't want it or don't have enough gold coins, you'll be giving up on this opportunity. The right to buy this City Creation Token will be given to the second-ranked guild on the Guild Rankings. "
Before Yamamoto Michio could say anything, Kato Masa also stood up, "Indeed, we've said that before. Yamamoto Michio, since you can't bring out 500 million gold coins, you've lost the right to buy this City Creation Token. You didn't prepare it beforehand, so it's your fault. There's no need for all of us to take responsibility for your mistakes, so please leave the trading platform. "
Yamamoto Michio's forehead was covered with sweat as he hurriedly said, "Mr Kato, and Mr Ling Tian, this City Creation Token is extremely important to me. Please give me a chance … give me one minute, no! I'll only need half a minute … "
"Yamamoto Michio, perhaps you didn't understand what I said." Kato Masa's expression froze, "Under my supervision, no one can go against the rules. You've already lost the right to buy this City Creation Token, and this is your own fault. You can't blame anyone else. Immediately leave the trading platform, or else I'll forcefully kick you out. "
Yamamoto Michio's face became dark and red. He opened his mouth, but was unable to say anything … it wasn't as if he hadn't heard of Kato Masa's' fairness' before. He was incredibly inflexible, and if he said something, he would definitely do it. He didn't dare to say anything else, and he could only grit his teeth and walk off the trading platform with heavy steps.
Back in the crowd, Yamamoto Michio slapped the face of the person next to him. All of his anger erupted, and he roared like a wild beast, "Didn't I ask you to exchange 2 billion gold coins for me?!! Where's the gold coins?! Where did the gold coins go?! You son of a b * tch, if you don't give me a proper explanation, I'll make it so that you won't see the sun tomorrow!! "
That person felt dizzy from the slap. He covered his face and said with great grievance, "Alliance Master, I've definitely exchanged the two billion gold coins for you, and … and you've also confirmed that you've received it … As for the rest, I really don't know. I don't know anything at all."
"Where did the gold coins go?! Why are there only 400 million left? Where did they go?!!! "
A cooked duck had actually flown away because of such a low-level mistake. The surrounding Japanese players all looked at the enraged Yamamoto Michio with mocking expressions. In the virtual world, gold coins wouldn't disappear for no reason. No matter what, Yamamoto Michio could only blame himself for this mistake. As the leader of Japan's largest guild, he had actually made such a low-level mistake and given away the City Creation Token. Even they felt incredibly humiliated.
On the other hand, the leader of Japan's second largest guild, the Black Dragon Guild, Shoi Fuku, was grinning from ear to ear. He had thought that the City Creation Token would definitely fall into Yamamoto Michio's hands, but who would have thought that a meat pie would fall from the sky. He eagerly rushed up to Yamamoto Michio's trading platform and grinned as he said, "I'm the leader of Japan's second largest guild, the Black Dragon Guild, Shoi Fuku. I want this City Creation Token."
"Please place 500 million gold coins on the trading platform. After confirming, the transaction will be complete," Kato Masa calmly said.
500 million gold coins would normally be a large sum, but for a City Creation Token, it was nothing. Under countless envious gazes, Shoi Fuku opened his gold coin slot. Just as he was about to transfer the gold coins, his eyes suddenly widened. His pupils shrank to the size of a needle, and after being stunned for at least three seconds, he let out a roar that sounded like a pig being slaughtered in the hall …
"Gold coins! Where's my gold coins?! Where did my gold coins go?! "
He clearly remembered that he had prepared 1 billion gold coins … but when he opened his gold coins window, there was only a pitiful 200 million gold coins left!
"Pfft …" The players all over the world spat.
For the leader of Japan's number one guild to go up to the stage without bringing enough gold coins, it was already incredibly stupid. And from Shoi Fuku's reaction, it was evident that he also didn't bring enough gold coins! Not only was one person stupid, but it was also contagious. The leader of Japan's second largest guild had also made the same stupid mistake. This scene was simply too comical. Many of the players present almost spat out their saliva.
Shoi Fuku's reaction was evidently much more intense than Yamamoto Michio's. He had gone from hell to heaven, and then from heaven to hell; this feeling was simply unbearable. Some of the players sympathized with him, but most of them rejoiced in his misfortune … with Yamamoto Michio as an example, who could he blame for not confirming his gold coins before going up to the stage?
Shoi Fuku's yelling immediately caused Kato Masa to feel quite displeased. He stood up and said with a stern expression, "Since you don't have enough gold coins, leave the stage. If you continue to yell, then scram."
Shoi Fuku gritted his teeth in anger … he clearly remembered that he had 1 billion gold coins on him, and he hadn't used a single one yet. How could he only have 200 million gold coins left? Could it be that he had made a mistake when confirming his gold coins?
Shoi Fuku, who had lost control of his emotions, was about to leave, but he stopped himself … he still hadn't given up on the City Creation Token, and he wanted to personally see who had obtained it. At the same time, he wracked his brains to think of where the gold coins had gone … however, no one could have guessed that Yamamoto Michio and Shoi Fuku's gold coins had been stolen by Ling Chen. In the virtual world, the owner of the gold coins had to agree to it, and it was impossible for others to interfere. Even Yamamoto Michio and Shoi Fuku, when faced with the large amount of gold coins, wondered if they had made a mistake, or if they had accidentally used the gold coins, or if they had made a mistake when exchanging them for gold coins … they couldn't think of Ling Chen at all.
Moreover, Ling Chen had been standing there the entire time, with countless eyes staring at him, as well as the impartial Notary watching from the side.
