The tavern instantly quieted down again. The players with quick reflexes and good memories had already realized that when the young master of the Han Family said "give the staff to a certain someone", this "certain someone" was really a "certain someone". It was just an empty reference, not an actual reference.
In the end, everyone thought that the Han Family Young Master's idea was to give the staff to Gu Fei, who Jian Nan You was afraid of, for safekeeping. In the end, Gu Fei also thought that was what Jian Nan You meant. At this time, the Han Family Young Master's words were clear. As expected, the staff could be given to anyone but Gu Fei and Slender Waist Dance, because they knew Jian Nan You and Boundless Mang. Seeing that they were going to the Exchange Hall to buy Boundless Mang's staff, how could Jian Nan You not be suspicious? So it was better to do this with unfamiliar faces.
Before, the people who knew Jian Nan You were talents. In the blink of an eye, the people they knew were useless, while the unfamiliar faces became talents. That was why it was said that everyone was born with talent!
No one spoke for a moment, and they were all thinking about the feasibility of this plan. In the end, the owner of the staff, Boundless Mang, spoke first, "We can try."
The Han Family Young Master nodded, "After that, find someone you can trust, and everyone pool a large sum of money to give to him. He'll be responsible for buying the staff back."
Boundless Mang nodded. It was easy to find someone who could be trusted. Many of Lan Yi's people were companions who had been with her in Moonlit Night City. Although everyone had split up, their relationship hadn't faded. Picking a Cleric to do this was the most suitable choice.
"There's no rush. Let's go sell the staff first! Then, the others can go to places like taverns to spread the news. News of top quality equipment always spreads very quickly, "said the Han Family Young Master.
"Yes yes!" Many people nodded and prepared to do their work. Lan Yi was extremely depressed. He thought that this grandson really didn't treat him as an outsider. He didn't hold back when commanding his brothers. What was even more infuriating was that his brothers didn't have a stance at all. He had never seen them so obedient before.
"Then I'll go and sell the staff now." He stood up in a daze.
She was afraid that she would be attacked by Jian Nanyou if she acted alone, so she went to the auction house surrounded by a group of people. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even when he was in the limelight in Moonlit Night City, he didn't bring such a big group of people with him!
In the auction house, Boundless Mang Mang consigned her "Ideal Magic Staff" for sale. The price was set at 1800 gold, which was 200 gold less than the market price that Brother You and the other experienced players had estimated at 2000 gold. It was said to reflect a kind of eagerness to sell. However, the problem was that if he was in a hurry to sell it, he should set a fixed price. For example, he could directly set a price of 1,800 Gold. That would be even better. However, he obviously didn't dare to do this, as he was afraid that someone would really buy it. No matter how high you set it, you would still be afraid. Because the world was so big, there were a lot of idiots.
As a result, everyone saw him as someone who was anxious to make a move, but was also unwilling to do so.
"Done." After finishing her work, Boundless Mang Mang turned around and said to the group of people behind her.
"24 hours?" Han Family Young Master asked.
"Yes!"
"It's 7: 37 now. Everyone will meet at 6: 30 tomorrow to make some necessary arrangements." Han Family Young Master announced.
"Yes yes yes!" Everyone nodded.
"Now hurry up and spread the news! Don't be too deliberate. "Han Family Young Master waved his hand.
Instantly, half of the people dispersed. Lan Yi was once again depressed. In his heart, he was thinking that after this matter was over, he would give these brats a good lesson in ideology and make them deeply aware of who their boss was.
This group of impatient brothers was very efficient. The news of a high quality Priest staff being consigned for sale in the auction house slowly spread in White Stone City. When it came to spreading gossip, it was always good to have a start. After that, there would be professional gossip lovers to spread the news everywhere. After that, a few Priest players who received the news all ran to the auction house to take a look.
Of course, the ideal staff did not have an undeserved reputation. Just its ordinary attributes were stronger than the staffs used by most Priests. Moreover, the skill "Mana Sacrifice" was simply a skill that could recover mana. Currently, Priests could only recover HP. With this staff, not only could it recover HP, it could also recover mana. How cool was that? One had to know that having no mana or HP at a critical moment was equally fatal.
Although the price of 1800 gold made many normal players stop, those who knew the industry knew that this price was already considered low. It was definitely a bargain to be able to buy it. However, seeing that there were so many Priests gathered in the auction house, everyone could guess why they had come. As a result, those who had no money in their pockets looked at the staff and drooled. Those who had money in their pockets saw that there were many competitors and were in no hurry to make a move. This staff did not have a maximum price, so it was completely meaningless to bid now. Wait until the last ten minutes of the 24 hours, or even the last minute, when the competition would be the fiercest. After those who knew the time, they had already turned around and left. Instead of wasting time here, it was better to use this time to raise more money. Looking at the situation, this staff might not even be able to be bought for 3000 gold.
"No, it might even be 4000 … 5000 …" The Priest who had left the auction house saw other Priests surging out from various streets and continued to rush to the auction house, and became more and more pessimistic.
This was the true value of an exquisite equipment. The so-called market price was an evaluation made by everyone based on the comparison of the attributes. However, the greatest characteristic of a truly exquisite equipment was its scarcity. Thus, it would lead to a bidding war. In the end, it would be impossible to predict how much the equipment would be sold for.
The same ideal staff might be sold for 3000 gold this time, or 5000 gold the next time. This was because the quantity was too small, so small that it was simply not enough to form a fixed supply and demand market. Every time it appeared, there would be a new market, so how could there be such a thing as a market price? The market price that the players spoke of was actually a synonym. It had different meanings at different times. For ordinary equipment, the market price could be understood as the highest price. For truly exquisite equipment, the market price could be understood as the lowest price.
At this moment, a large number of Priests were heading to the auction house to look at equipment. After looking at it, some of them forgot to go home, while others seized the time to start raising money. The resulting chain reaction was that the players who were used to leveling in random parties discovered that there were surprisingly few Priests tonight. At the main city gate, this was the most common area for random parties. Groups of players stared at each other, all because there were no Priests in their party, so they couldn't set out to level.
"What's going on?" When these leveling armies asked around, it naturally became a new wave of news spreading.
"The Auction House has consigned an exquisite Priest Staff for sale. It's called the Ideal Staff, and it has regeneration skills." This message quickly spread throughout Whitestone City.
"The Ideal Staff?" Ye Xiaowu and Broken Arrow heard this news at the same time as they were in the tavern.
"What?" Broken Arrow still didn't know that Ye Xiaowu had been instigated by Silvermoon to buy this staff.
"This staff has a skill called 'Mana Sacrifice'. It's currently one of the few mana recovery skills." Ye Xiaowu said.
"Sounds very useful." Broken Arrow said.
"Very useful." Ye Xiaowu said.
"Let's go take a look?"
"Let's go!"
The two of them went to the auction house together. At this time, it had already been three hours since Gu Fei had logged off. It was the dead of night, but there were still many Priests in the auction house. There were tens of thousands of Priests in a main city. People constantly received the news, and people constantly rushed over. The auction house had never been so lively before in Whitestone City.
There were many auction tables in the auction house, but at this moment, none of them were empty. In front of each table, there was a group of Priests. Ye Xiaowu and Broken Arrow looked at each other, then chose a table with fewer people and squeezed in.
On the auction board, the "Ideal Staff" was impressively listed at the top. Although the majority of players who wanted it calmly waited until the last moment to bid tomorrow, there were also some who casually opened their bids. At this moment, the price had already jumped to 2,217 Gold, 58 Silver, 40 Copper. There were rules for raising the price of items in the auction house. The lowest bid was 10 Copper, and there was no upper limit. However, when someone raised the price by more than 10 Copper, the lower limit would be refreshed. Ye Xiaowu looked at the current limit. It had already been raised to 1 Gold. And in the blink of an eye, the price jumped again, jumping to 2,218 Gold, 58 Silver, 40 Copper.
"This looks like it won't be easy to get." Broken Arrow looked at the surging Priests around him, wiping his sweat.
"Yes, looking at this situation, buying it isn't just a matter of money. You need a bit of luck." Ye Xiaowu said.
"Haha, that's not necessarily true. You can directly send in 10,000 Gold right now. I don't think anyone will raise another 10,000." Broken Arrow laughed.
"There's no need." Ye Xiaowu also laughed, "I've already bought one for 4,000 Gold."
"Oh? Where? "Broken Arrow asked.
"The Silvermoon Gang contacted him." Ye Xiaowu said.
"That brat, is he reliable?" Broken Arrow said.
"What? Is he going to use a fake to trick me? " Ye Xiaowu laughed, "At most, he, as the middleman, will get a few hundred Gold. But look, even if he gets a little sweet, 4,000 Gold is still considered cheap. If this continues to rise, there shouldn't be any suspense about it exceeding 4,000 Gold, right?"
"There's no suspense." Broken Arrow agreed, but immediately afterwards, he saw the name of the Magic Staff's seller. He immediately said, "Boundless Mang Mang … … This, is the wife of the previous Silvermoon!"
"Oh?" Ye Xiaowu also immediately noticed and muttered, "Could it be that this is the Magic Staff he contacted for me?"
"It can't be? I heard that the two of them had a very bad relationship. That girl would sell anyone, but not him! "Broken Arrow said.
"I'll ask him." Ye Xiaowu said.
"How many of these Magic Staffs have appeared in-game?" Broken Arrow asked from the side.
"How would I know so clearly." Ye Xiaowu said as he sent a message to Silvermoon, "The ideal Magic Staff you contacted, is it the one in the Boundless Mang Mang Mang?"
At this time, Silvermoon was alone leveling in the wilderness with his face covered. Every minute he stayed in White Stone City made him nervous, not to mention going to places with many people like the Tavern. So when he had nothing to do, he hurriedly ran to the wilderness, specifically looking for the kind of uninhabited leveling area that was rarely visited by people. He painstakingly leveled alone. He didn't know anything about the Magic Staff that had already spread in the city.
Suddenly receiving Ye Xiaowu's message, Silvermoon was shocked. His first thought was that Ye Xiaowu had completely sold him out. He had already said everything that he promised not to say. But this was just a thought. With just one sentence, Silvermoon wouldn't be so shocked that he would confess without being pressed. He immediately replied, "Ah?"
One word, one question mark, but it was extremely mysterious. It did not directly admit or deny what Ye Xiaowu had asked. Every word revealed a sense of doubt, hinting for Ye Xiaowu to continue.
"An ideal magic staff has appeared in the Exchange Hall. It's being sold by Boundless Mang," Ye Xiaowu immediately explained the whole story. He speculated that Silvermoon had instigated him to buy the staff so that she could get a few hundred dollars as a commission. He did not expect that Silvermoon had actually hired a group of robbers to attack her closest friend.
"Ah! It's this one. How could this woman go back on her word? She said she would sell it to me! "Silvermoon pretended to be indignant and once again splashed dirty water on Boundless Mang. At this moment, he had another evil idea.
In his eyes, Ye Xiaowu was undoubtedly an extremely rich person. After knowing that this was the staff, he would probably buy it from the auction house.
As for Jiannan You, although he had deleted Silvermoon as a friend, fortunately, Glue and the four of them had added each other as friends yesterday. Silvermoon later contacted Glue and learned that although Jiannan You had deleted him, he would still complete the task he had accepted out of professionalism. Otherwise, he would pay the full amount of money according to the rules.
Silvermoon knew the rules of Jiannan You and the others. As long as they received the deposit, it meant that they had accepted the task. At this time, if the buyer wanted to cancel the task, the deposit would not be refunded. If they canceled the task, they would return double the deposit.
Although the staff had been sold, it was not difficult to find the buyer. Of course, Jiannan You and the others had to check the buyer if they continued the task. Then they found out that the buyer was Hongchen Yixiao, and then …
Hehe, if he canceled the task, I would have earned 2000 gold for nothing. If he continued the task, he would even kill Ye Xiaowu. It was none of my business. Silvermoon had this idea, so he directly admitted that it was the same staff.
"So it's like this …" Ye Xiaowu responded and didn't say anything else.
Silvermoon felt that there was no need to say any more encouraging words. He was afraid that Jiannan You and the others still didn't know that the staff had been auctioned, so he hurriedly contacted Glue.
"Boundless Mang, the staff has been consigned for sale at the auction house. Do you know?" Silvermoon said.
"There's such a thing? I don't know! "Glue said.
"Hurry up and pay attention! Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if you don't know who bought it. "Silvermoon said.
"F * ck!!!!" Just as this message was sent, Silvermoon suddenly reacted and slapped himself. It was a good thing that Jiannan You and the others didn't know the whereabouts of the staff! If they couldn't find it and couldn't complete the task, wouldn't they still have to pay? Didn't he achieve his goal? Why did he have to remind them with such a cheap mouth?
F * ck f * ck f * ck!!! Silvermoon slapped herself twice more.
