The banquet quickly came to an end, and Yang Rui sent off his generals to their respective posts. Afterward, he brought Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Yu Jin, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong to Sky City. They used the teleportation formation to teleport to Luoyang.
There were still ten hours until the auction ended, and the teleportation formation was still open. In truth, there was plenty of time.
Yang Rui had originally planned to use Sky City to transport Gan Ning, his soldiers, and the thirty-some ships to the Sishui and Wenshui regions. However, Gan Ning wanted to test the waters, so he chose to take a detour with his troops.
There wouldn't be too much risk in the coastal waters, so Yang Rui let him go. At this moment, Cao Cao was in Chen Liu's lair, licking his wounds. A few days ago, he had sent a messenger to Linzi City to ask for peace. He wanted to ransom Cao Ren and Niu Jin.
In Yang Rui's absence, Sun Qian and the others naturally couldn't easily make the decision. Cao Cao's messenger could only return resentfully.
Yang Rui naturally wouldn't let Cao Cao and Niu Jin go back so easily. At the same time, Cao Cao's forces probably wouldn't recover in the short term, so Yang Rui felt at ease and allowed Gan Ning to take the sea route to the Sishui and Wenshui regions.
After the system update, the largest cities in each region opened large-scale auction houses, Tower of Civilization, cross-region player exchange centers, and other functional buildings, causing Luoyang City to regain its vitality. Although the Han Dynasty Imperial City had become Chang 'an City, in terms of scale, Chang' an City could not be compared to Luoyang City.
As a result, Luoyang City, which had been closed due to Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital, was reopened. Although some parts of the city were damaged, they immediately exploded with vitality. Luoyang City suddenly recovered. The ones who benefited the most were the major player organizations that controlled the eight cities around Luoyang.
When Yang Rui stepped out of Luoyang City's teleportation point, the bustling scene in front of him stirred his heart. Even though Luoyang City was still lacking in NPCs, the number of players here was no less than Luoyang City in the past. This made Yang Rui feel as if he had returned to the time before Dong Zhuo's Rebellion.
When he first came to Luoyang Royal City, Yang Rui was just an insignificant person. He couldn't even easily enter Luoyang Royal City's inner city. It wasn't easy for him to spend money and use his connections to enter West Garden and buy the position of General Yi … It felt like everything had happened yesterday.
He sighed with emotion. Yang Rui began to look for a large auction house. Since the Tower of Civilization, the Exchange Center, and the large auction house were all located in the three directions of the teleportation plaza, Yang Rui found his target without much effort.
After Yang Rui entered the large auction house's hall, he quickly found the large screen used for bidding. When players approached the screen, they could open the large auction house's function description and participate in the bidding.
Seeing the auction house's function description, Yang Rui's eyes lit up. Yang Rui had previously thought of the various uses of the auction house, but the benefits of the auction house were clearly not limited to that. The profit aspect was enough to tempt any player!
As for the profit aspect, regardless of whether it was a player or an NPC participating in the auction house, they had to pay a certain fee. All of them had to pay a certain amount of admission tickets, deposit, and handling fees. At the same time, after the auction was successful, the organizer could also take a certain amount of commission.
The relevant fees could be adjusted within a certain range. The system's default admission ticket price was 10 copper coins, 10 silver coins, and 1 gold coin. The normal, private, and VIP seats could be adjusted within a range of 50% to 200%. If the price was lower than the system's default standard, it had to be handed over to the system, and the operator would benefit from the higher part.
The system's default deposit was 10 Gold. After the auction, it would be returned or used to offset the auction costs. If the auction process was disturbed, it would be withheld. The system and the operator would share the cost. This fee could also be adjusted within a range of 50% to 200%.
There were three fixed processing fees: auction, settlement, and transfer. The system's default fee was 10 Copper. It could be adjusted within a range of 50% to 200%. If the price was lower than the system's default, the operator would benefit.
The operator would benefit from the commission. It could be set within a range of 1% of the auction price, and the lowest could be set to 0%.
This was the main cost. At the same time, the auction house could also recognize VIP customers and auction items for customers. Players could enjoy all kinds of benefits, and it also involved a lot of income. The rules were also very detailed, which was a big advantage for the operator.
There were also many other benefits. For example, the operator could sell items or participate in the auction process without paying any fees.
The most important thing was that all kinds of income would come in a steady stream. The large auction house was open 24/7. Except for the special auction, the auction could be freely auctioned through the big screen at other times, just like how Yang Rui was participating in the auction.
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, do you want to participate in the bidding for the rights to operate the large auction house in the Three Kingdoms Region? There are 9 hours, 20 minutes, and 12 seconds left until the bidding ends. If you want to participate in the bidding, please bid on the operation panel one by one and pay enough money …"
"Yes, one million Gold!"
After Yang Rui read the instructions, he activated the auction page and immediately received a system notification.
For some reason, before Yang Rui made his bid, no players had bid for this large auction house in the Three Kingdoms' region.
Although the starting price was a little high, according to the current exchange rate, the amount of money needed was not a little bit. It was more than a billion dollars, but Yang Rui did not believe that the major player organizations would easily give up such an opportunity.
It had to be known that the current "War of the Worlds" game was very special. It involved not only benefits, but also personal strength, health, and even lifespan. Many of these things could not be completely measured by money.
Moreover, in the long run, the large auction house set up in the game would only make money and not lose money. As long as it was operated well, it might not take long for it to break even. The operating rights of the auction house were unlimited, unless the game was closed one day. In fact, the possibility of losing money was not high.
Didn't you see that the Slavs had already made their move? Moreover, they had added 100,000 Gold at the beginning. It was obvious that they were telling other players not to be too wishful thinking. Petersburg in the Slavs' region was almost equivalent to Dragon Soul's background in the Three Kingdoms' region.
With all these prerequisites, no one from the Three Kingdoms region had made a bid. Therefore, it could only mean one thing: Dragon Soul and other large player organizations must be planning this, or perhaps they didn't want to attract too much attention in the early stages and decided to make a final decision. In any case, Yang Rui felt that the large player organizations wouldn't be unknown.
After Yang Rui bid one million Gold, there were still no players competing. At this time, there was still an hour before the end of the bidding. Yang Rui prepared to go to the Three Kingdoms' Tower of Civilization to see the situation.
"System Announcement: Sato Ichiro of the Japanese civilization region has joined the bidding for the ownership of the large auction house in this region. The current price is 1.1 million Gold. The bidding time remaining is 9 hours, 15 minutes, and 10 seconds. Players in this civilization region can participate in the bidding. Players who enter other civilization regions as an exchange will not be able to participate in the bidding …"
At this time, another system announcement came. Some players had also started to bid for the large auction house in the Japanese civilization region, and the characteristics of their bids were very similar to that of Peter in the Slavs' region.
At first, Yang Rui did not think much of it, but after carefully thinking about it, Yang Rui suddenly stopped.
From the beginning, all players and even NPCs were allowed to participate in the bidding for the large auction houses in the various civilization regions. However, in the two consecutive system announcements, players from other civilization regions were not allowed to participate in the bidding. Yang Rui was almost caught in the crossfire.
Players from other civilization regions were not allowed to participate in the bidding, but that did not mean that Yang Rui could not bid for the large auction houses in other civilization regions. Yang Rui could go to the Japanese civilization region through Shrimp Land. Of course, he was not an exchange player. Therefore, Yang Rui could participate in the bidding for the large auction houses in the Japanese civilization region.
