Chapter 84: Second-Tier Imperial Guard Medal
Those who just joined couldn't see the previous chat history, but Xing Qiong Dadi and Luan Shi Xiaoxiong enthusiastically posted screenshots of the Guild Token's attributes and the previous bids, allowing newcomers to see.
Seeing this, Li Xiang was surprised.
It seemed that in that short period, Luan Shi Guild and Xingqiong Guild had given up competing for the Guild Token.
It must be that these twenty-three forces offered them benefits they couldn't refuse!
But for Li Xiang, this was a good thing.
Not only did he immediately receive 230 million in cash, but he could also make more from his Guild Token.
The players who joined the group were all leaders in various fields. Regardless of who ultimately obtained the Guild Token, being able to enter the 'Inventory' group circle was already a gain!!!
It was a deal that achieved multiple goals at once, a win-win, or even a win-win-win!!!
No one lost out.
Seeing the bid reach 40 million.
Wan Shui Lou directly bid, "Lord (polite form of address), I bid 100 million."
Directly increasing the bid by sixty million.
Wild Rising's mouth twitched wildly. Forty million was all the funds he could mobilize. 100 million...
Tie Xue Ba Wang: "200 million!"
The price doubled directly.
Li Xiang took a deep breath, watching excitedly.
A few seconds later, Wan Shui Lou bid: "300 million."
Tie Xue Ba Wang: "400 million."
Wan Shui Lou hesitated for over ten seconds, then bid: "500 million."
This time, Tie Xue Ba Wang hesitated.
In the entire group, over twenty new people had joined, but only these two were bidding.
Li Xiang rarely visited forums, but he knew these two must be extraordinary.
Li Xiang had an impression of Tie Xue Ba Wang, who ranked 6th on the level leaderboard.
He had no impression of Wan Shui Lou at all.
Feng Qingyang: "You two don't need to probe each other anymore. I'll make a bid, 1 billion."
After Feng Qingyang's words were sent, Li Xiang became excited.
1 billion?!
Did I see that right?!
10 small goals!!!
This was no small number!
Even in reality, being able to directly produce 10 small goals meant a force already famous internationally.
Tie Xue Ba Wang: "Brother Feng is generous. I can't afford this price, so I won't compete."
Xuan Yuan Zhe: "Tie Xue, you're poor. It's only 1 billion. I'll bid 1.1 billion."
A new person appeared.
Xuan Yuan Zhe...
Li Xiang didn't recognize this ID, but there was someone on the level leaderboard named 'Xuan Yuan Gang Tie', who should be from the same force.
Tie Xue Ba Wang: "Brother Xuan Yuan is domineering."
Feng Qingyang: "This is interesting, 1.4 billion."
Wan Shui Lou: "A final price of 1.8 billion. I'll give up if it goes higher."
1.8 billion!
After seeing this high value.
The entire group quieted down considerably.
A moment later, Tie Xue Ba Wang spoke: "Witnessing history, 1.8 billion!"
The others also remained silent.
Li Xiang spoke up, "Congratulations, Wan Shui Lou, on obtaining this Guild Token."
"Qu Ming, add me as a friend."
"Lord (polite form of address), please accept my friend request."
"+1"
"+1"
"..."
Everyone who had been lurking suddenly surfaced.
Li Xiang responded with a smile, "Okay."
After adding everyone as a friend one by one.
Wan Shui Lou sent Li Xiang a private message.
"Lord (polite form of address), I'm in Tianshui City. Can you send it to me via the post station as soon as possible?"
"No problem."
"Then... can I make the payment after the token arrives? After all... 1.8 billion is not a small amount... It needs to go through layers of approval. Rest assured, it will be in your account by midnight tonight at the latest."
"Alright, I trust you."
"Thank you, Lord (polite form of address). I'll go offline now to submit the payment."
After saying that, Wan Shui Lou's avatar dimmed.
Li Xiang clicked in and saw it was a woman. Her appearance had probably been adjusted too, looking quite ordinary.
A strong woman!
After making this judgment in his heart, Li Xiang closed the friend list and looked ahead.
Ahead, a City had already appeared.
A very magnificent City.
"Young man, this is a City. With your current level, you cannot enter it yet. This is as far as you go. We will meet again in the future."
【Ding! Task 'The Merchant's Concern' completed.】
【Ding! Obtained task reward 'Experience Points' x10 million】
Seeing the system prompt appear, Li Xiang knew his task was over.
It's just that the reward was a bit meager.
It only gave experience points.
Getting off the carriage, Li Xiang was about to use his Return Scroll to go back to Wu Shuang City.
Suddenly, an ethereal voice came from a carriage behind, "Wang Lao, give him that item as a reward."
Upon hearing this voice, Wang Yuanyuan immediately nodded and looked at Li Xiang, "Young man, take this item. It will be of great use to you."
【Ding! Obtained task reward 'Second-Tier Imperial Guard Medal' x1】
【Second-Tier Imperial Guard Medal: Symbol of the Royal Guard. After wearing it, you can freely enter and exit any official town below a City, anywhere.】
Cities in the game are divided into Village level, Town level, second-tier main City, City, and Super City.
Wu Shuang City and other cities reached from the Novice Village are all second-tier main cities.
This tier also applies to Guild levels.
With the Second-Tier Imperial Guard Medal, you can basically travel unimpeded in most cities in the game!!!
This reward was incredibly explosive!!!
"Thank you."
Li Xiang waved at Wang Yuanyuan and the carriage behind him.
The carriage started moving and quickly entered the City, and the City gate closed.
Li Xiang took out his Return Scroll and used it.
...
After the countdown ended, Li Xiang returned to Wu Shuang City. He first went to the post station to send the Guild Token to Wan Shui Lou, and then immediately rushed to the pet shop in the City.
"First, I need to find the pet shop to deposit Black Whirlwind's egg for incubation."
Although there was a pet shop in the City, the pet system in the game had not been fully opened yet. So, while there were NPCs in the pet shop, they wouldn't provide transactions for buying or selling pets.
Some players came to try their luck, but they didn't get any results.
Li Xiang arrived at the shop, took out Black Whirlwind's egg, and the NPC greeted him extremely enthusiastically, "Adventurer, this is truly an extraordinary pet egg!"
"I'd like to trouble you to help me hatch it, can you?"
"Yes, please pay an incubation fee of one thousand gold coins. You can pick it up in 30 days."
One thousand gold coins?!
Li Xiang was stunned.
"That expensive?"
"The pet egg you brought is of the legendary tier~"
"Alright."
After paying one thousand gold coins, Li Xiang came out of the pet shop and immediately rushed towards outside the City again.
The new combat form of the hidden class Demon Warrior required finding an NPC outside the City.
The coordinates had already been provided, now he just needed to go find it!!!
Passing by the equipment shop, Li Xiang asked a question.
Wang Dagui told Li Xiang that the equipment was ready and a VIP room had also been prepared for Li Xiang.
"Okay, I'll be right back."
With that, Li Xiang directly activated the Wind Seeking skill, increasing his speed by 10 times, and rushed towards the coordinates outside the City!
