Almost all of the player factions were gathering money in preparation for this auction. Of course, Zhao Fu was also quite interested. He had a large amount of money, but it was a pity that he didn't have anywhere to spend it. There were many things that he wanted to buy, but most of the shops didn't interest Zhao Fu at all. Now that there was an auction, Zhao Fu naturally had to participate, so he started to make preparations.
A day passed quite quickly, and Zhao Fu brought Bai Qi to a massive building – this was the Red Flower Merchant Alliance's Auction House.
The Red Flower Merchant Alliance was undoubtedly the largest Merchant Alliance in the Forest of Horrors, and it had countless businesses in the three main cities. It even had businesses outside of the Forest of Horrors, and it had a very deep background. Even Qin Nan warned Zhao Fu not to offend it.
The Auction House was completely surrounded by people, and hearing the eight guards say that the entrance fee was one gold coin, countless players felt their hearts ache. One gold coin was equivalent to 10,000 copper coins, which was equivalent to $100,000 in the real world. This caused countless ordinary players to stop in their tracks, and they didn't even have the chance to join in on the fun.
With how big the Auction House was, it would be no problem for it to accommodate thousands of people. Just from this auction alone, they would be able to earn thousands of gold coins.
Zhao Fu and Bai Qi paid the entrance fee of two gold coins, drawing the admiration of many players. Following this, they walked into the Auction House. It was quite big, and it was 1,500 square meters wide. Apart from the hall on the first floor, there were private rooms on the second floor, VIP rooms on the third floor, and Supreme rooms on the fourth floor.
There were 24 gems that gave off a blinding white light hanging from the ceiling, so it wasn't dark inside the Auction House at all.
The first, second, and third floors were open to everyone, while the fourth floor was open to the truly powerful figures. Players didn't even need to think about entering. Zhao Fu didn't have any dealings with the Red Flower Merchant Alliance, so he didn't have any VIP cards. However, he could pay some gold coins to get a private room.
By now, the first floor of the Auction Hall was packed with people. There were players and wealthy indigenous residents, and with so many people gathered together, it was quite chaotic. Everyone was chatting, and it was quite noisy. Zhao Fu had wanted to pay some gold coins to get a private room, but he had no choice.
Unfortunately, the private rooms were already full. Zhao Fu could only ask for the VIP rooms, but they were full again. He didn't know how many big shots had come. Zhao Fu was speechless. He felt like he had money but nowhere to spend it. Now, he could only squeeze into the crowd. Looking at the crowd, which was like an iron wall, Zhao Fu sighed and walked forward.
"F * ck! What are you squeezing for, you poor bastard? "
As soon as Zhao Fu squeezed through, a player in front of him turned his head and said this.
"I …"
Zhao Fu felt quite speechless. He had a lot of Coins on him, but now, he was being treated as a poor person who had come to join in on the fun.
Bai Qi's expression became cold. Even though he didn't understand what that player was saying, he felt that he was cursing at Zhao Fu. Just as he was about to teach him a lesson, Zhao Fu stopped him. Zhao Fu didn't want to cause any trouble, and in the end, Zhao Fu and Bai Qi went to a remote corner.
Following this, a beautiful woman in a red dress with an alluring figure walked up to the stage, and the auction officially began.
The first item was a top-grade Blue grade weapon. It was a large saber that gave 3 stat points, and the starting price was 800 silver coins.
Just as the beautiful woman announced the starting price, someone shouted, "900 silver coins!"
Just as this person called out the starting price of 900 silver coins, someone else immediately outbid him. The price of the top-grade Blue grade weapon rose higher and higher, and in the end, it was sold for 3,800 silver coins.
It was even more expensive than some ordinary Silver grade weapons, and with such a high price, the atmosphere in the auction hall became even more excited.
Of course, Zhao Fu wasn't interested in this item, so he didn't participate. The people on the first floor were the only ones bidding, and the second, third, and fourth floors were silent.
Following this, another auction item was brought up. It was a pill bottle, and it was unknown what kind of medicinal pill was inside.
At that moment, the beautiful woman twisted her body, and under the white light, her mature body was faintly discernible within her red silk dress. Her chest was revealed, and a large area of white flesh was teased, causing the crowd to howl. She saw the opportunity and opened her mouth, saying, "One bottle of Little Spirit Pills that can double your cultivation speed. There are 50 pills in this bottle, and the starting price is 2,500 silver coins."
"3,000 silver coins!" Someone yelled.
Zhao Fu had already refined 90,000 or so Little Spirit Pills, so of course he wasn't interested in them. Seeing that everyone else was bidding, there was some movement on the second floor, and in the end, the bottle of medicinal pills was sold for 6,000 silver coins.
Following this, the third item was brought up – it was a blueprint.
"Eternal Brightness Armour Blueprint, can be used to forge Blue grade armor. Price: 4,000 silver coins!" The beautiful young woman explained.
Zhao Fu had long since obtained a similar blueprint, and he had obtained it for free. After conquering Rhode Village, he had already been able to forge Blue grade armor.
Everyone started to bid, and the people on the second floor were quite interested in the blueprint. At first, the people on the first floor wanted to join in the fun, but the people on the second floor started to bid, and the price had already reached 10000 silver coins.
Zhao Fu could tell that most of the people on the second floor were players, and the indigenous residents didn't care about the blueprint at all. As such, Zhao Fu decided to join in the fun. Even though he could easily buy the blueprint and restrict the development of other factions, the intensity of the bidding was simply too great.
As such, there were two reasons why Zhao Fu didn't participate. Firstly, he didn't lack people, and secondly, if he didn't have the power to sweep away all of them, he didn't want to attract public anger. Many heroes had died to wolves in history, and those who made too many enemies didn't have a good ending.
Even if one obtained an opportunity, one shouldn't think that one was the main character. There were simply too many main characters in this world. A person might be able to defeat two or three people, but could they defeat 30 or so people? Zhao Fu wasn't like the main character in some novel, who had a mocking expression and attracted hatred everywhere and would be fine in the end.
However, in the real world, the grass on one's grave would be a few feet tall, and one's opponents would even dance on one's grave and laugh at one's stupidity.
Of course, Zhao Fu wasn't afraid of them. It was just that it wasn't time for them to go all out. Sometimes, it wasn't necessarily a good thing to appear too powerful.
At that time, although the Qin Kingdom was extremely powerful, they had no choice but to take a step back in the face of the alliance of the six kingdoms. In the end, they put down their pride and adopted a strategy of getting close to their enemies and breaking the alliance. Since ancient times, the one who laughs at the end is not necessarily the strongest.
Whoever obtained the blueprint would definitely benefit their development in the future. However, this was only a Blue grade blueprint, and there were many of them. Even if Zhao Fu stopped them this time, there would still be a next time, and there would be many other ways to obtain it. He couldn't stop others from obtaining it.
