Chapter 186: Auction Begins
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The auction hall had its own rules, but it was also convenient to bid. Those with gold medals could also participate in the silver medal, but low-level holders couldn’t enter the high-level venue to bid.
“Apart from the Abyss Crystal Core, there should be other good things this time, right?”
“There seem to be many participants in this high-level arena.”
Zhang Xuan swept his gaze around and realized that there were hundreds of people in the entire high-level arena.
Hundreds of people were bidding for an item. It was obvious that this scene would definitely be a bloody battle.
Not only that, but the price of its items would also be quickly raised.
This also made the auction much more difficult.
“Little Xuan, don’t worry. Don’t you just want that Abyss Crystal Core? When we gather our coins, how can we not get it?”
Liu Tangshan, who was at the side, saw Zhang Xuan’s worry and immediately patted his chest to guarantee.
“It’s alright, you guys should do it yourselves.”
Regarding this, Zhang Xuan didn’t have any special requests. It was naturally best if he could take it down, but if he couldn’t, Zhang Xuan wouldn’t force it.
After all, he didn’t have such a big background. If he became enemies because he fought with others, it would be even more unnecessary.
He didn’t have much financial resources to begin with. Even if he earned some gold coins in the third transition Duel Arena, he couldn’t compare to the descendants of those families.
Soon.
As the few of them chatted, the high-level auction hall officially began.
The host of the Dragon Soaring Guild went on stage. She looked beautiful and had a hot figure. As soon as she went on stage, she attracted the attention of countless people.
“Dear guests, today, the Long Teng Advanced Auction House will prepare 10 treasures for you.”
“There aren’t many, but the quality can satisfy everyone!”
As the host’s voice sounded, everyone also focused their attention and waited for the appearance of the auction item.
Under the support of the host, the current popularity quickly increased.
The host didn’t waste any time and directly started the auction.
“The first item is a high-level material, Thunderbolt Wood. The quality of this material is very high and is suitable for thunder-element professions. Be it used to increase strength or to make equipment, it’s top-notch!”
“The starting price is five million!”
“Every increase in price can’t be lower than a million!”
As the host spoke, the scene instantly became lively.
Thunder-element, even if it was just a pure thunder-element mage profession, a rare level, its damage was still considerable.
After all, thunder was a high-damage type.
Naturally, there were more people fighting over it.
In just a few minutes, the price of the Thunderbolt Wood had already risen to 20 million!
This speed shocked Zhang Xuan.
“The speed of this increase is really fast.”
“High-level materials themselves are very popular. No matter what profession it is, basically everyone will participate. If we can take it down, we naturally won’t lose out. Even if we can’t take it down, it’s fine to participate.” At the side, Yuan Xiao explained.
At this moment, Zhang Xuan only hoped that when it came to the Abyss Crystal Core, it wouldn’t be so intense.
Looking at Zhang Xuan’s worried expression, Yuan Xiao clearly saw Zhang Xuan’s worry.
He immediately said, “Don’t worry, the Abyss Crystal Core you need shouldn’t be so lively. That’s an Abyss Crystal Core, the most troublesome thing among the abyss materials.”
“Under normal circumstances, only the Abyssal Envoys will need it, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Although Yuan Xiao was comforting him here, Zhang Xuan was still a little worried.
There were many Abyssal Envoys at Black Gold Academy. Knowing that there was an Abyssal Crystal Core here, they probably wouldn’t let it go easily.
Soon, the auction went very smoothly. Several items were auctioned off consecutively.
Zhou Yi even made a move once and bought high-level material for 30 million.
And this high-level material was mainly to help Zhou Yi steadily solve the impact of the abyss.
After all, she wasn’t as convenient as Zhang Xuan.
“The next item, the Abyss Crystal Core. As class advancement players, everyone should know the use and origin of the Abyss Crystal Core, so I won’t say much.”
“However, the auction item this time is a little different. According to the employer’s request, it won’t be auctioned in the form of gold coins.”
As the host spoke, these words confused everyone present.
The host continued, “The employer requires that if you want to obtain the Abyss Crystal Core, you need to assist the host in farming an Abyss Novice
Dungeon, Abyss Mist Forest, Level 40.”
“Therefore, those who need to change their professions need to measure their strength carefully. If they die because of this, it’s not worth it.”
“Of course, the employer requires that if it can be completed, not only will there be an Abyss Crystal Core, but there will also be a rich reward.” As the host finished speaking, the entire high-level auction hall fell silent.
Obviously, this condition wasn’t acceptable.
Not to mention the value of this Abyss Crystal Core, but the employer would also give other rewards.
Just the danger level of the Abyss Novice Dungeon was enough to make most class advancement players stop.
Not only that, but the Abyss Novice Dungeon this time was also Level 40. Even fourth transition class advancement players didn’t dare to easily involve themselves in this.
After a while, naturally, no one was willing to fight over it. The entire scene also became quiet.
As for Zhang Xuan, he was a little curious. He originally thought that when it came to the Abyss Crystal Core, it would cause a scene of snatching. Even Zhang Xuan had set a maximum tolerance level for himself in advance.
But the outcome surprised him.
“The auction house can do this? Isn’t it more convenient to directly issue missions to recruit people?”
Zhang Xuan was a little confused.
Yuan Xiao explained, “The reason why we can use high-level materials, the Abyss Crystal Core, to bid is naturally because the mission isn’t simple. Secondly, such missions are usually issued by the Abyssal Envoys. Ordinary class advancement players don’t dare to team up with them.”
“Therefore, most of them complete it through various methods in the auction hall.”
The Abyssal Envoys had obvious restrictions, and these restrictions came
from the hatred accumulated over the years.
Even in the Black Triangle area, this situation couldn’t be completely eliminated.
“In that case, it’s quite suitable for me.”
At the thought of this, Zhang Xuan no longer hesitated. Instead, he directly raised his card.
“VIP number 32 is participating. Is there anyone else who wants to compete?”
“If not, the Abyss Crystal Core will temporarily belong to VIP 32. Later, a staff member will bring the VIP to see the employer.”
As the host finished speaking, the scene was still silent.
Seeing that no one participated, it finally landed in Zhang Xuan’s hand.
“Little Xuan, this is the Abyss Novice Dungeon. The fog is deep and the level is so high. Even if your profession’s strength is high, it’s still very dangerous,
Liu Tangshan asked curiously, but Zhang Xuan wasn’t worried at all.
“It’s alright. The Abyss Novice Dungeon doesn’t affect me that much. Don’t worry.”
“Besides, there’s remuneration to be paid and no need to spend money.. Where can I find such a good thing?”
