After the beautiful woman's reminder, the people in the VIP Rooms hesitated and decided not to bid. In the end, the A- grade Holy Ring's Light was obtained by Zhao Fu.
Everyone looked at Zhao Fu with envy and jealousy before turning their attention to the next item.
Zhao Fu did not bid for the next item, and the items were auctioned off one by one. The system factions displayed their true strength, and all of the items that moved countless players were won at high prices.
Just like that, 20 or so items were auctioned off, and Zhao Fu did not bid at all. Instead, he stood in a corner, and everyone's gazes fell on the system factions.
Following this, the auction came to an end, and the final items were slowly brought out.
The first item was a fist-sized rock that gave off a faint yellow light. It seemed to be made of iron, and even though it was only as big as a fist, it required four big men to carry it up.
The beautiful woman on the stage introduced, "Hardearth Rock, a Gold grade material that can be used to forge Gold grade equipment. Bidding price: 300000 silver coins."
Finally, a Gold grade item had appeared. Everyone excitedly stared at the Hardearth Rock and discussed it, and the scene was quite lively.
The first person to bid 320,000 silver coins was immediately surpassed by a few others, and the Hardearth Rock's price reached 400,000 silver coins.
A few people were still bidding intensely.
Suddenly!
A middle-aged man's voice calmly sounded out from one of the Sovereign Rooms. "500,000 silver coins!"
After this voice sounded out, everyone fell silent. This was the first time that someone from the Sovereign Room had bid, and everyone knew that this person's status was incredibly high. As such, the people who had been bidding all fell silent.
The cute girl next to Zhao Fu stared at the Hardearth Rock on the stage, her eyes shining. It was a pity that she didn't have much money left, so she could only lower her head and sigh.
Zhao Fu was very tempted as he looked at the Gold grade ore. Although he couldn't forge a piece of Gold equipment right now, he could save it for later.
However, even though Zhao Fu wanted to buy it, he had to consider the status of the person in the Sovereign room. With his status and power, Zhao Fu naturally could not afford to offend him, nor did he want to offend him for a Gold grade material. After all, he had many businesses in Holy Light City, and if he offended such a major figure, he could directly shut down his business and ban him from teleporting into Holy Light City.
Many people knew this, so the scene quieted down. No one dared to bid.
The originally lively auction house suddenly became so quiet that the atmosphere even became a little awkward.
"Old Wu! With your status, do you really think you lack a Gold grade ore? " Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out from another Sovereign's room.
When he heard this, the middle-aged man called 'Old Wu' gave a hearty laugh and said, "I've been sitting here for too long and wanted to have some fun. Don't worry about my identity; don't worry, I won't take revenge on you after this."
When everyone heard his words, they were speechless. Even though Old Wu had said that they didn't need to worry about his status, his subsequent words made it seem as if he would definitely take revenge on him after this. Who dared to bid?
As such, the auction house remained completely silent, and no one dared to bid. The beautiful woman on the stage awkwardly asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
Seeing this, Zhao Fu sighed and decided to give up on this Gold grade ore. It wasn't worth it to ruin his business for this ore.
Seeing Zhao Fu's expression, the cute girl tilted her head and thought to herself. She suddenly thought of something and leapt towards Zhao Fu.
"550,000 silver coins!"
A sweet voice rang out in the quiet auction hall. Immediately! Instantly, everyone gasped – who would dare to offend such a grand figure?
Everyone's gazes once again fell on a familiar corner, and they saw a cute girl tightly hugging a cloaked figure like an octopus.
At that moment, the cute girl said, "I'm his friend; he's paying for me!"
"Fudge!"
Zhao Fu couldn't help but curse inwardly. However, with so many gazes on him and the girl's words, he immediately realized that he had been conned by this girl. He hurriedly tried to push her away – he didn't know her, but this girl was sticking to Zhao Fu like candy, and no matter how hard Zhao Fu tried, he couldn't push her away.
"Very well! This Hardearth Earth Stone will be won by this sir, "the beautiful woman on the stage said.
The beautiful young woman on the stage was also very tactful. She was already very satisfied with the price.
At the same time, she knew Old Wu's identity, and with his status, a Gold grade material wasn't much at all. He was just bidding for fun, and even though it was just for fun, the side effects of such a grand figure's words were quite great. For example, the auction house from before had fallen silent, and now that someone had made a bid, she was quite satisfied with an additional 50,000 silver coins.
Seeing this, Zhao Fu was about to say, "Wait!"
However, before he could say anything, a soft hand covered his mouth, and the next item was brought up. The outcome was already decided, and many factions looked at Zhao Fu with schadenfreude.
The girl let go of Zhao Fu and giggled to the side. She seemed to be thinking about something, and she even started to drool.
Zhao Fu sighed and turned to look at the girl beside him as he asked, "Who are you?"
The cute girl came back to her senses and smiled at Zhao Fu as she said, "I'm called Gongsun Baobao; there's no need to be so polite; you can just call me Baobao."
"…"
Zhao Fu was speechless; this girl still didn't understand the situation, and he reminded her, "Do you know that you screwed me over just now?"
Gongsun Baobao laughed and didn't seem to mind as she said, "I think that uncle was just playing around; it's fine. Plus, I don't want your Hardearth Earth Stone, and I'm going to help you forge Gold grade equipment. You've made a profit, but there's no need to thank me; I'm such a good person!"
Hearing this, Zhao Fu didn't know what to say. Anyone would believe that she could forge Gold grade equipment, and none of Zhao Fu's subordinates could forge Gold grade equipment, so how could a player do it?
Seeing that Zhao Fu didn't believe her, Gongsun Baobao angrily pouted and said, "Don't look down on this lady's ability; our family is the Gongsun family that forged the Scarlet Firmament Sword."
"Scarlet Firmament Sword?"
Zhao Fu felt that it was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
At that moment, Jiang Rou smiled and explained, "The Scarlet Firmament Sword is one of the Ten Great Swords of ancient times, and it's ranked third. It's below the Xuan-Yuan Sword and the Clear Sable Sword. It's said that Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang obtained it and used it to slay a white dragon and walk the path of an Emperor. As such, this sword is also an Emperor's Sword, and it was forged by the Gongsun family.
