"You want to go?" Gu Xiaoshang was surprised. The Han Family Young Master's goal in joining them was to deal with Qianli's Drunk and Sword Demon. Apart from that, he didn't care about anything else. Now that he suddenly volunteered, Gu Xiaoshang couldn't help but be suspicious, "Do you think there's a problem with this?"
"I can't see the problem, but I have some suspicions." Han Family Young Master said.
"You suspect that it's Qianli's Drunk and Sword Demon's guild?" Gu Xiaoshang had heard about Qianli's Drunk and Sword Demon's guild from Han Family Young Master.
"I can't be sure, but their guild has definitely been established." Han Family Young Master said.
"How do you know?" Gu Xiaoshang asked.
"Just ask." Han Family Young Master said.
"Then can we just ask them now?" Gu Xiaoshang asked.
"I asked them, but they pretended not to know." Han Family Young Master said.
"Pretended not to know … … Looks like you're very suspicious of them?" Gu Xiaoshang laughed.
"Qianli's Drunk and the others already had a quest to assassinate the guild leader. Right now, this quest just so happens to have such a condition in the auction. They need the guild leader to receive it. The guild leaders will gather together and complete the quest. Give me a reason to not suspect them." Han Family Young Master said.
"Then what do you think we should do now?" Gu Xiaoshang said.
"This … … If it's true, then I think they have the determination to complete the quest first. So, even if we pretend to be the oriole behind, it's useless. The people from the other three guilds are more than enough to drown them … So, it's better to stop their assassination plan from the root. We'll need to communicate with the other guilds, "Han Family's young master said.
"How do we communicate?" Gu Xiaoshang asked.
"It's very simple. It's just an auction. Don't go to the chairman. Just send some Tom, Dick, or Harry there." Han Family Young Master said.
"Fine, we'll send you," Gu Xiaoshang said angrily. This person really had no filter on his words. What Tom, Dick, or Harry! With these words thrown here, how was it convenient for him to send more people? Whoever she sent out would become a nobody in the eyes of her guild leader.
"Of course I can go, but you should at least send me a few helpers!" The Han Family Young Master smiled disapprovingly.
As such, Gu Xiaoshang began to call out his troops in the guild. At the same time, he sent a message to Unsworn Sword, "Unsworn, you have to be more careful in this matter. Beware of traps!"
"Oh, what's wrong?" Unsworn Sword took Gu Xiaoshang's words very seriously.
"This might be an assassination plan planned by Qianli and the others." Gu Xiaoshang said.
"Why do you say that?" Unsworn Sword asked. Although he wanted to obey Gu Xiaoshang unconditionally, he still had to explain this to the rest of the guild. Without clear evidence, he could not just turn around and say, "Gu Xiaoshang said that this auction is rigged, so he won't be participating anymore." If he really did that, he would definitely lose his position as the guild leader. Unsworn Sword still paid attention to the appearance of others.
"I don't have any evidence. It's just a suspicion, so I want to remind everyone to be careful. I suggest that our guild leader doesn't show up for this auction. Let's send someone we trust attend. What do you think? "Gu Xiaoshang said.
"En, that's not a problem. I'll just ask Reflection to go." Unsworn Sword happily agreed. Actually, the reason why Unsworn Sword was so enthusiastic about attending the auction was because he wanted to meet Gu Xiaoshang at the auction and have a chance to flirt with him. Now that he knew that there was a high chance that Gu Xiaoshang wouldn't be going, Unsworn Sword naturally lost his enthusiasm. He immediately sent a message to Reflection: "Reflection! I won't be going for this auction. Bring some brothers with you. "
"Why?" Reflection was right beside Unsworn Sword. It was strange that he actually received this guy's message, but he didn't say anything and replied with another message.
"I've thought about it. Say, what if this is a trap set up by Qianli's Drunk to lure us guild leaders over and then kill us? What should we do? So I think it's best if I don't go personally. "Unsworn Sword said seriously.
"Is that so?" Reflection was suspicious. "Is it because Gu Xiaoshang isn't going?"
"Uh, I can't deny that it's because of that," Unsworn Sword said.
"Damn." Reflection replied. At the same time, he glanced at Yun Xiang, who was following beside them. He turned his head and said to him, "Brother Yun Xiang, I'll go with you to the auction later."
"Oh? Where's Guild Leader Unsworn? "Yun Xiang asked.
"He's waiting outside." Reflection said indifferently.
Yun Xiang was also trained from this mission. He quietly replied with an "oh" and quickly sent back a message. "There's a change in the situation. Unsworn Sword said that he won't be participating in the auction. The core of the guild, Reflection, will be participating."
At this time, Gu Xiaoshang was also negotiating with Unchung Mutsu and Black Index Finger. Although these two guild leaders didn't have that kind of absolute trust in Gu Xiaoshang, Gu Xiaoshang was really a person with a good reputation in Cloud City. Both guild leaders believed that if Gu Xiaoshang wanted to compete for this mission, even if he invited a group of people to gang up on them, he wouldn't use any tricks. So they agreed with Gu Xiaoshang's reminder. So the two made arrangements and chose trusted members to participate in the auction.
"Damn! This must be Gongzi's doing! "Gu Fei said after receiving the message.
"En, the guild leaders didn't do this at first, but halfway through, they reacted. It seems like they received some kind of reminder. But I don't think they have any evidence. It's just that we can't let go of our guard. Also … the image of you two has already been deeply engraved in people's hearts. "Xi Xiaotian said to Gu Fei and Sword Demon. She was an Archer, so her movement was relatively fast. After coming out from Upstream, she returned to the lumberyard first and had already met up with everyone.
"With the current situation, if we continue to pretend to auction, we can still win a chance to assassinate in the end. In the end, a guild leader has to accept this mission." Gu Fei said.
"But if we get Unsworn Sword and Gu Xiaoshang, then wouldn't it be meaningless?" Sword Demon said.
"With the current situation, these two people have a very high chance of winning. Unsworn Sword against Gu Xiaoshang, don't tell me you guys don't know?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"The system is baffling. I was the one who died, so why did you fail the mission for Unsworn Sword!" Gu Fei said.
"How would I know?" Sword Demon said.
"You two don't talk about this anymore. I think we can only make the act real and continue with the auction." Xi Xiaotian said.
"That's the only way." Everyone sighed.
"I'll continue to host the auction!" Xi Xiaotian said, "Since the Han Family Young Master is already suspicious, then there's no need for me to hide anymore. If I can find a chance to dispel his suspicions, then things might still turn around."
"Up to you!" Gu Fei had never cared about Xi Xiaotian's plans, so he had an indifferent expression.
"Good luck!" The others gave Xi Xiaotian great encouragement. Thus, Xi Xiaotian sent a message to Yun Xiang. She would continue to host the auction.
Yun Jiao Lumberyard. The final situation was very different from what everyone expected. The president that they wanted to see was nowhere to be seen. The Han Family Young Master, who they didn't want to see, was the first to arrive. A bunch of people were hiding in the dark. When they heard Xi Xiaotian's message that the Han Family Young Master had arrived, they all gritted their teeth. Yutian Shenming suddenly suggested, "Forget it, we'll talk about the president later. Let's jump out and kill Young Master now! Let him be arrogant again. "
"Kill him? Isn't he a neutral player? There's no point in killing him! "Jian Nanyou was the most practical person.
"Calm down, calm down. The big picture is more important." Gu Fei advised.
Xi Xiaotian was standing under the pile of wood that the "mission person" Werther was sitting on. When he saw the Han Family Young Master, he was slightly surprised. He quickly went up and said, "What's wrong? Didn't you say that you wouldn't be coming? "
"I'm no longer singing and drinking. I'm representing Rosy Clouds now." The Han Family Young Master laughed. "What's wrong? Are you from this guild too?"
"Indeed!" Xi Xiaotian replied with a smile.
"Hmm, I think we're a bit early." The Han Family Young Master looked around.
"Yeah, the other three guilds will be here soon. The auction will be held here later. Let's wait for a bit!" Xi Xiaotian said.
"Okay." The Han Family Young Master nodded and began to look around. He looked here and there, but he couldn't find what he was looking for. At this time, the Reflection of Years arrived with a few players from Reigning the World. When he saw the Han Family Young Master, he nodded as a greeting and asked quietly, "Did you find anything?"
"Not yet." The Han Family Young Master shook his head. "Maybe they received the message that the president won't be coming and left. Anyway, don't put the quest before the money. "
"Of course!" The Reflection of Years nodded.
The Reflection of Years was also the first to arrive. Behind him were the representatives from Muyun Guild and Black Alliance. Because everyone was on guard, they were all sneaky. They looked around to see if there was anything strange about this place and walked over to greet the people who arrived first. The Muyun Guild recognized Xi Xiaotian, while the Reflection of Years and Black Alliance recognized Yun Xiang.
After Yun Xiang arrived, she didn't say anything and stood beside Xi Xiaotian. After Xi Xiaotian confirmed the identities of the four parties, he nodded and said, "Then, if there are no more questions, shall we begin?"
This group of people did not seem to have any doubts at all. However, their doubts were no longer about the auction. They were gathered at the side and whispered something. At this moment, when Xi Xiaotian suddenly announced the start of the auction, everyone was a little stunned. Because of their suspicions, they did not come with the intention to auction.
"Okay, the auction will begin now. Everyone, please raise your heads and take a look. This young NPC named Viktor is the quest NPC for this auction. As long as we win this auction and our guild leader gives up on the quest, the winning guild leader will immediately be able to communicate with Viktor and receive the quest. Okay, let's begin now. We will follow the system's rules. We will set the starting price at 200 gold. The lowest price is 20 gold. There is no upper limit. Who wants to bid first? "
Three out of the four representatives looked at each other in dismay. The young master of the Han Family continued to sneer coldly. Seeing the awkward silence, he decided to help warm up. He raised the wine bottle in his hand and said, "Then let us begin!"
"Okay, 220 gold from the Rosy Cloud Room," Xi Xiaotian announced.
"240?" A certain someone called out in confusion.
"Muyun bids 240," Xi Xiaotian shouted.
"260?" The Black Alliance wasn't sure either.
"Black Alliance, 260," Xi Xiaotian repeated.
"It's really starting?" The same thought flashed through everyone's mind. So, there's no trap? They looked at each other again and started to get into character. The 20 gold increments were getting higher and higher. They were all very serious. As for the young master of the Han Family, he didn't pay much attention to it after he started. From time to time, he would shout as if he was interrupting a conversation. Eighty percent of his attention wasn't on the auction. He held his wine bottle and walked around in circles. He even took out his binoculars to observe the surroundings.
As the three auctioneers worked hard, they hurriedly reported to the president, describing the fierce competition here. At the same time, they wanted to confirm the price in the president's heart. At this moment, the price had already reached 500. How much was this mission worth?
In this era where the economy had just entered chaos, it was hard to measure the value of gold. This was a difficult question. Faced with an unknown mission, how much money would it be worth spending? The presidents calculated in their hearts and asked the assets of the people in their guilds to calculate their own wealth. At the same time, they used their spies in other guilds to find out the price and wealth of the other guilds.
After a long time, there was no news from the president. The representatives on this side were gradually not as happy as before. Every time they called a price, they would first ask the president for instructions. Xi Xiaotian seemed to understand the difficulties of the other party. Sometimes, when the bidding took a long time, she wouldn't call for the hammer. Instead, she would wait with a smile. Every time this happened, the person who had just bid would have objections. They didn't think that it was necessary. The two guilds who thought about it supported Xi Xiaotian's way of doing things. They thought that it was just a game and that there was no need to be so strict. Very soon, a new bid was made. The other party started to drag their feet again. The one who wanted to do things without rules was changed. The representatives of the three guilds kept changing their stance. Xi Xiaotian just happily stirred things up. From beginning to end, she didn't have any intention of calling for the hammer. What made the three guilds even more unhappy was the Han Family Young Master. This person was wandering around. From time to time, he would walk past them like he was just passing by. He would raise his bottle and open his mouth to call out a price. Was this an auction? No matter how you looked at it, he looked like a troublemaker! Especially when this guy raised the lowest price to 50 gold. The other three guilds were even more bitter.
"Han brothers, what are you doing?" Reflection Time couldn't take it anymore. When the Han Family Young Master passed by and raised his bottle again, he pulled him over and asked.
"I want to see what they're up to." Han Family Young Master said.
"You can look, but don't call out a price! Is Rosy Cloud Space here to buy the quest or to cause trouble? "Reflection Time said.
The people from Black Alliance and Gathering Clouds were even more unhappy with the Han Family Young Master. When they saw the two of them whispering, they immediately came over and shouted, "What are you doing? What are you two sneaking around for? "
"Make it public! Make it transparent!" The two of them strongly requested.
"F * ck, go and call out your price. Why are you dawdling and not bidding for so long? Miss Xi, you can't do this! You're clearly waiting for us to raise the price. You can't do this in an auction. You have to set a time limit!! "Reflection Time said.
"F * ck, what time limit? Didn't you think about it just now? Why didn't you say a time limit? "The two of them were anxious. Now was their time to think.
"Set a time limit now. If you don't bid when the time limit is up, I'll drop the hammer!!" Reflection Time said angrily.
"F * ck, your guilds have already finished discussing right? We're not done yet. I'm not doing it! " Actually, the few of them knew what they were thinking about. They were just going back and forth to communicate with the guild leader! Now that Reflection Time suddenly became firm, they thought that this guy might have received instructions from the guild leader, but they hadn't even come to a conclusion yet! Of course, the two of them wouldn't do it.
They were arguing for what was right! In the next second, the guy from Black Alliance changed his words, "Okay, then let's discuss a time limit!"
"F * ck, you guys have a conclusion too, right?" Mu Yun's representative was instantly abandoned by his allies. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He could only ask Unchung Mutsu for help, "Guild leader, what's the most we can bid? Hurry up and give us a price. We can't take care of you all the time. We're about to announce a new rule. They won't wait for us to discuss. If we don't bid after one, two, three, then they'll drop the hammer."
"What's the bid now?" Unchung Mutsu asked.
"1,300 already," the representative replied.
"Okay, bid 10000 first. We'll discuss in the meantime." There were a thousand people in the guild. If each person took 10 gold, that would be 10,000 gold. Unchung Mutsu didn't think that this price would make everyone jump up. If it was any higher, then they would have to discuss it. Gold was precious right now.
Mu Yun's representative received the order and immediately started bidding, "1,350!"
"Okay, 1,350 gold. Mu Yun's now bidding 1,350 gold," Xi Xiaotian announced.
"Wait, wait. Let's pause for now. We must clarify the rules first," Time's Reflection said.
"Yeah, how long can we wait? Give us a time," the black representative said.
"What's the rush? Take your time. Everyone can think about it. "Xi Xiaotian smiled.
"Of course you're happy. We'll take our time to think about it. We'll discuss this!" The three representatives began to discuss. They had already ruled out the young master of the Han family. They were very suspicious of this person's sincerity, and even the brothers who had come over from the rosy clouds felt that this person was too deceitful. However, after complaining to Gu Xiaoshang, Gu Xiaoshang didn't care much and only said, "Let him be." In the end, Gu Xiaoshang didn't have much hope for this quest.
"Thirty seconds? Only thirty seconds? That's not a problem, right? "Time's Reflection said.
"No problem. If he doesn't make a bid in thirty seconds, the hammer will drop." The other three were very determined.
"Very good. You, you come and count." Time's Reflection pointed at Yun Xiang.
"Me?"
"Go ahead and count for the bosses." Xi Xiaotian smiled. "So, can we continue now?"
"Yes."
"Alright, the Sheepcloud Guild just bid 1350 gold. Let's continue. "
"10,000!" Han Family Young Master floated over calmly with a bottle of wine in his hand.
