Chapter 98 Chapter97-The End of the Auction
Adam and Blue Sea, who had been observing the situation, finally made their move.
They started with a staggering figure that left everyone awestruck - 80 million!
Upon hearing this bid, many players took in a sharp breath.
This figure was truly astounding, exceeding the original value of the "Serpent King\'s Blade."
Even if it was one of only two legendary equipment in the entire server, no matter how outstanding the attributes, it couldn\'t possibly reach such an exaggerated price.
Some clever players on the scene had thoughtful expressions.
Perhaps for these top forces, what they were really buying was not just this piece of equipment.
They were paying more for fame and uniqueness.
After all, the top ten guilds in the world were essentially on par.
If one guild alone possessed a piece of legendary equipment, they could elevate their strength and status significantly in a short period.
The invisible power boost it brought was priceless.
At this point, Darklord\'s eyes were practically glowing red.
He wasn\'t thinking that far ahead.
He simply hoped to boost his own power level.
John\'s previous show of strength had dealt a heavy blow to Darklord, filling his heart with jealousy and resentment.
Why should his nemesis command such awe from everyone while he remained unknown?
It wasn\'t fair!
Regardless of the cost, Darklord was determined to secure the final auction item, the "Serpent King\'s Blade", driven by his spite towards John.
However, the reality is often cruel, and it doesn\'t cater to personal desires.
No matter how hard Darklord tried, his financial strength could not match the top guilds.
Adam could nonchalantly quote a terrifying price of 80 million.
But he couldn\'t.
Even with the full support of the Wolf Guild, Darklord couldn\'t muster 80 million.
"I bid..."
Darklord\'s eyes were wide as he was about to raise his offer again, only to be stopped by SoulSong beside him, "Give it up, young master. We don\'t have that kind of budget."
SoulSong\'s eyebrows were furrowed, and his earnest attempts to dissuade Darklord were utterly ineffective.
The fact that his subordinate dared to stop him made Darklord furious, "If we don\'t have the money, then we should find a way. Let\'s have the guild members sell their equipment. Whatever is valuable, we sell it."
"No matter what, I must get the Serpent King\'s Blade."
"You all enjoy my hospitality daily, and now it\'s time for you to share my worries!"
Darklord\'s roaring words drew the attention of the other players around him.
In their eyes, he had gone mad.
The members of the Darklord guild were completely disheartened.
They never expected that their guild leader would require them to sell all their hard-earned valuable equipment just to bid for a weapon.
Such selfish behavior made the Darklord guild members regret their decision.
If they had known, they wouldn\'t have joined Darklord\'s guild.
No matter how furious and helpless Darklord was, even if his subordinates willingly sold all their equipment for him, it was too late.
Adam\'s high bid of 80 million successfully deterred all the competitors, making him the biggest winner of the auction.
"80 million once, 80 million twice, 80 million thrice, sold!"
Isabella\'s small hammer gently hit the table, making a crisp sound.
It also announced that the final legendary equipment "Serpent King\'s Blade" was successfully won by Genesis Guild.
Isabella smiled sweetly, "Congratulations to Mr. Adam, the guild leader of Genesis Guild, for successfully acquiring this top-tier weapon. Our auction staff will contact you later to sign the transaction contract."
With this, the grand auction finally came to a successful conclusion.
The majority of players were quite satisfied with the auction.
Those who won their desired items were celebrating with their friends.
For various reasons, players who didn\'t manage to win anything also felt the trip was worthwhile.
The many bizarre incidents at the auction were enough to provide them with bragging material on forums for a long time.
Perhaps the only ones who were dissatisfied at this moment were Darklord and the Wolf Guild, two forces that, coincidentally, were both sworn enemies of John.
Wolf Howl, the deputy guild leader of Wolf Guild, sent a message to Darklord, "Guild leader of Darklord, are you interested in deepening our cooperation?"
Darklord, who was currently berating his subordinates, especially SoulSong who bore the brunt of it, was taken aback by the message.
He believed that his failure to win the "Serpent King\'s Blade" was due to their interference, and he naturally blamed them for all the failures.
He didn\'t realize that the subordinates in front of him were filled with resentment.
"What do you mean by deepening cooperation?" Darklord asked in response to Wolf Howl\'s message.
Wolf Howl replied with a cold smile, "Because of some minor conflicts, our guild and Galewind have become sworn enemies. Although I don\'t know the specifics between you and them, I guess the relationship is probably similar. The enemy of an enemy is a friend. You\'ve seen Galewind\'s strength today, and either of us alone is not his match. Only by joining forces can we deal with him."
"Even if our two guilds unite, I\'m afraid it would still be very difficult to defeat Galewind, right?" Darklord questioned.
He might be arrogant, foolish, and proud, but he was not blind to reality.
John had managed to kill the leader of one of the world\'s top ten guilds in one strike, even under system punishment.
This kind of strength was not something that players of their level could have.
Darklord didn\'t know John\'s specific level, but he guessed it must be over 100.
Otherwise, he couldn\'t possibly have such powerful strength.
Wolf Howl quickly replied, "On our own, we certainly can\'t suppress Galewind. He\'s beyond what players can handle now. But what about the indigenous forces of this world?"
Darklord\'s eyes lit up.
Right, the players might not be able to defeat Galewind, but there are many powerful NPC forces in this game world, and they are a completely different story.
Intrigued, Darklord asked, "Can you get the indigenous NPCs to help us?"
Pretending to be mysterious, Wolf Howl replied, "I have to admit, I have an apprentice in this game, and my current class is a result of this. And my master is an affiliate member of the \'Hermit Association\'..."
As Wolf Howl elaborated, Darklord\'s eyes shone brighter.
The two quickly came to an agreement.
Together, they were determined to force John out of the game, Godslayer.
As for John, he was oblivious to this coalition between the two forces.
Even if he knew, he probably wouldn\'t care.
Bug-like beings, no matter how many there are, can\'t kill a person.
John had already returned to his private room by now.
As the auction came to an end, he did a quick calculation of today\'s sales.
Even for him, it was somewhat astonishing.
It was downright outrageous.
Today, just the second round of bidding had brought in a staggering 600 million.
This figure alone was enough to make one\'s head spin.
Even in real life, the well-known major corporations probably couldn\'t make 600 million in cash in a single day.
All one could say was, this game was indeed full of hidden talents.
A smile tugged at the corner of John\'s mouth, his mood quite cheerful.
After all, of these 600 million, the two items he had put up had already accounted for over 20%.
Even after deducting the auction house\'s commission, he could still net over 120 million.
Was he a billionaire now?
John raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling as if he was in a dream.
The money had come so fast that it took him a moment to react.
Just as John was lost in his thoughts, Emma suddenly rushed over, hugging his arm, "Johnny, congratulations, you\'re a billionaire now."
This young lady was no fool, after all, she was a college student now.
A simple calculation made her realize just how impressive John\'s earnings were today.
John affectionately ruffled Emma\'s hair and chuckled, "Yes, I didn\'t expect to become a billionaire one day..."
Before Emma could respond, John revealed a mischievous grin and whispered, "When I get back, I\'ll buy a few more lingerie sets as a reward for you."
Emma\'s cheeks immediately turned red, and she spat out, "Gross! The reward is clearly for you..."
John laughed heartily, in high spirits.
Suddenly, his communication channel began to ring.
He had received several messages at once.
Casually opening the channel, he found that the messages were from the big shots who had been showing off on the second floor today.
Blue Sea: Galewind bro, the auction is over. Do you have time to grab a drink with us?
John knew that Blue Sea was trying to introduce him to Adam.
He thought for a moment and replied, "Sure, just let me know when and where."
On the other side, Adam was anxiously waiting for Blue Sea\'s message.
He wasn\'t even this nervous when he won the "Serpent King\'s Blade".
The scene of John\'s prowess earlier had deeply shocked him.
Not until Blue Sea gave him a reassuring nod did Adam finally relax.
He quickly ordered his subordinates to book the most luxurious and expensive private room at the best tavern in Silverglow...
After replying to Blue Sea, John turned to the next message.
Snowla: Galewind bro, could you take me on a raid later? We haven\'t been in touch for so long, and now some people are bullying me.
Even through the communication channel, John seemed to picture Snowla\'s eager and adorable face.
