As soon as the price of 500,000 was announced, the whole place fell silent.
In an auction house, this was already a very serious premium.
Was' Repentance 'worth 500,000 utility points? The answer was yes, it was!
But the point was that more than 99% of those who used 'Repentance' were gunners!
Given the awkward position of gunners in the later stages of the party, if they were the backbone of the party, they would at most be willing to pay 400,000 utility points to keep the premium rate below 50%.
To be honest, even if the gunner was the leader of the party, it was already the best he could do. If the price was any higher, he would not be able to explain it to his party members.
This situation was like in the real world, where the United States Department of Defense went to an Iraqi warlord and said, "Our B-2 bomber is awesome. How about this, I'll sell it to you for 100 million US dollars each.
The cost of a B2 bomber was 840 million US dollars each. 100 million US dollars was super cheap, but the Iraqi warlord could only offer 10 million US dollars. Why? Because he had no money.
Even if this deal was finally concluded due to political reasons, it definitely did not mean that the true value of the B2 bomber was only 10 million US dollars. It was just that the buyer's powerlessness determined the low price.
Now that Sheyan had directly quoted a price of 500,000 utility points, it was obvious that he was going to use his superior position in the party to suppress the reserve-duty Admiral in front of him!
As soon as the price was quoted, the reserve-duty Admiral's face suddenly turned ashen.
He said gloomily, "A mere Lieutenant Colonel dares to be so arrogant in front of me?"
The reserve-duty Admiral suddenly took out a silver storyline grade spear and asked the Realm:
"If I say I want to pawn this weapon, how many utility points can I get?"
The Realm immediately gave a reply after scanning:
[30,000 utility points! You can't pay any fee if you redeem it before entering the next world. You need to pay a 10% handling fee if you redeem it after one world, which is 3,000 utility points. You need to pay a 20% handling fee if you redeem it after two worlds, and a 40% handling fee if you redeem it after three worlds. When the handling fee exceeds the pawn price, it becomes a dead pawn.]
The guy chose to pawn the weapon without hesitation, then gritted his teeth and followed Sheyan's price.
Sheyan smiled and looked very calm.
"530,000 utility points."
This number was already close to Sheyan's limit, but the closer it got, the calmer Sheyan became. The miner next to him suddenly laughed.
"I can personally lend you 100,000 utility points, interest-free."
Sheyan curiously asked.
"Why?"
The miner answered seriously.
"I heard something from the Stockholm party … Oh, and if I'm not mistaken, the light shining on your gloves should be the liquid metal life-form, right? Therefore, I think you are worth investing in. "
Sheyan smiled.
"You have a good eye, so I've decided to accept your help."
The reserve-duty Lieutenant-General was in a very sorry state. Fortunately, another reserve-duty Lieutenant-General stepped forward and said coldly, "That's right.
Chabar, you're in such a sorry state, being forced into this state by a mere Lieutenant-Colonel. I'll lend you 100,000 utility points. "
Under normal circumstances, there was always a conflict between reserve-duty Lieutenant-Generals and regular Lieutenant-Generals. A regular Lieutenant-General would definitely have an advantage over a reserve-duty Lieutenant-General. To put it bluntly, when a Lieutenant-General was standing in front of a reserve-duty Lieutenant-General, he would feel a sense of superiority just by looking at his rank.
It was the same for reserve-duty Lieutenant-Generals. The relationship between the two was similar to the difference between the central army and the local warlords in the national army.
Chabar was currently in a very sorry state. The reserve-duty Lieutenant-General was not only lending 100,000 utility points for this reason, but also because he and Chabar had a very good relationship to begin with. They were like allies, so he naturally had to help Chabar as much as he could.
But after Chabar gritted his teeth and followed up with another bid, Sheyan did something that caused an uproar among the crowd!! He directly offered 600,000 utility points!! This was undoubtedly an extremely vile act. It was like a slap to the face of Chabar and the reserve-duty Lieutenant-General!!
You have the money to lend me 100,000, don't you? I'll still crush you two idiots!
Chabar and the reserve-duty Lieutenant General who borrowed the money felt their faces burning under the watchful eyes of the crowd. It was as if they had been slapped hard by someone. Everyone who could attend the auction was a reputable figure. Chabar was laughing wildly, but he said through gritted teeth, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
"Good, good, good! You think you're that rich? "
As Chabar spoke, he took off a piece of dark gold equipment from his body and asked to pawn it for 100,000 utility points to the Realm. Chabar's liquid funds were far more than Sheyan's, so he actually turned the tables and offered 700,000 utility points! It seemed that he was going to compete with Sheyan for fixed assets.
The nightmare realm was obviously similar to the real world. Many rich people in the real world had a net worth of tens of billions, but that was only after including fixed assets, stocks and so on. Their liquid capital was actually only tens of millions, or even millions.
Chabar obviously regarded Sheyan as one of those nouveau riche who occasionally got a large sum of liquid capital but had very few fixed assets. Therefore, he was confident that he had been in the realm for a long time, so he planned to frighten Sheyan with fixed assets and compete with him in terms of overall financial resources.
Sheyan did not waste any time talking nonsense with him. He did not even need to take off his equipment. He directly threw out the "Ukiyo-e". For Sheyan, the biggest use of this dark gold item was to allow Melody's teleportation array to locate the coordinates of this place.
Now that he had already summoned Melody once and allowed her to successfully locate the location of the nightmare realm, it had lost its greatest value to Sheyan! Therefore, Sheyan took out the "Ukiyo-e" and pawned it without a care.
As soon as the dark gold item appeared, it immediately set off a storm in the auction hall. Although it quickly subsided, it still attracted the attention of several people.
"The Ukiyo-e? It's really the Ukiyo-e! That magical treasure that can pull a boss out and kill it alone! If I'm not mistaken, this should be a special reward for the Golden Side Mission! "
A reserve-duty Lieutenant General could not help but stand up and exclaim. After he saw the attributes of the item, he could not wait to tell Sheyan.
"Lieutenant Colonel, if you're short of money, you don't have to pawn it to the realm. Just sell it to me for 200,000 utility points."
Another reserve-duty Lieutenant General snorted and said contemptuously.
"Do you take us for fools? You want to get the special reward for the Golden Side Mission for only 200,000 utility points? How about this, Lieutenant Colonel, I'll pay you 300,000 utility points! After you get the money, you can directly buy 'Repentance'! "
"Idiot, there are only two uses left for this Ukiyo-e. I'll pay you 350,000 utility points …."
Sheyan casually took out a dark gold item, but it was like a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples, causing quite a commotion.
The faces of Chabar and his friends turned even uglier. If Sheyan really sold it for 300,000 utility points, they would have no chance at all.
Who would have thought that even though Sheyan appeared to be moved, he ultimately sighed and shook his head. Somewhat timidly, he mumbled.
He said timidly, "I … I-I'll just pawn it."
Sheyan's act of showing weakness was immediately noticed by many people. They immediately felt that this Lieutenant Colonel must have a good relationship with the party leader, or rather, he was like an accountant in charge of managing the party's finances. If he pawned the item, he should be able to find a way to redeem it in time, but if he sold it, he would not be able to explain it to the party leader.
In the end, Sheyan pawned 100,000 utility points, unlike his previous aggressive bid. After hesitating for a while, he continued to bid for Chabar at 70,500 utility points.
Chabar gritted his teeth. His eyes were bloodshot. He took off a pair of silver storyline shoes and a dark gold ring, pawning them for 130,000 utility points. He looked at his old friend pleadingly. The reserve-duty Lieutenant General also took off a piece of dark gold equipment. This piece of equipment was quite valuable. He pawned it for 170,000 utility points, earning him a total of 300,000 utility points!
Then, he bid again on the basis of Sheyan's bid, adding only 500 utility points to the original price! He left most of the utility points as liquid funds.
At this moment, Chabar still had 300,000 utility points in his hands, which he could raise to a million utility points at any time!
This was Chabar's psychological warfare. Firstly, he knew the upper limit of Sheyan's funds, and secondly, the 300,000 utility points in liquid funds could create a huge pressure and enough confidence to scare Sheyan into backing off.
By now, almost everyone present was convinced that Sheyan was at his wit's end. Most of the reserve-duty generals began to look at Sheyan with disdain, as if he was a dog that had fallen into the water. Some even said contemptuously that a country bumpkin like him shouldn't come here to play. Some of the generals of the regular army also frowned, feeling that they had lost a lot of face because of Sheyan, a mere Lieutenant Colonel.
Sheyan sneered unwillingly. He stood up and looked around arrogantly, seemingly enjoying this feeling. He then took off the 'Planetary-Grade High-Energy Mechanical Power Gloves' from his hands, displayed their attributes, and said to the Realm, "I've been waiting for you all this time. I've been waiting for you all this time.
