“Room Three Z150,000 for the first time.”
“Room Three Z150,000 for the second time.”
“Room Three Z150,000 for the third time! Sold—”
Ding—
In that instant of a successful transaction, 150,000 was credited.
At the same time.
System: Player Remains Silent has entered the top ten of the Wealth Ranking, currently ranked seventh. Would you like to hide this information?
“Yes.”
At this moment, everyone in Chuan Chuan Guild witnessed Fat Uncle Jinchuan's breakdown.
“They're not even letting my old flower alone! There are so many people on the list, why is it me? What’s so great about being seventh? Why not go for first place!”
“Murphy's Law,” Flower Shadow Warrior said with a mysterious smile. Then, as if struck by a thought, he changed the subject:
“Vice President Jinchuan, you really should have let the President bid instead. Look at what’s happened now; you’ve lost both your lady and your troops. The Guild Establishment Order is gone, and your Wealth Ranking at seventh is also lost—”
“Who said I wouldn’t let him bid? Which little brat spread that rumor? Step forward, and I promise I won’t kill him!”
"Then why was the President so indifferent in the private room earlier?"
"Tsk, you young ladies really don't pay attention to the happenings within the guild. All you care about is the latest fashion in the marketplace. What are you even thinking? We've been preparing to launch Wild Map Bss for so long, didn't you notice?"
"Wild Map Bss? Isn't that just for farming gear and materials? What does it have to do with the Guild Establishment Order?"
"The President has reliable sources that say this time, Wild Map Bss will bring a big surprise."
A glimmer of light flashed in the squinted eyes of the round-faced individual.
So—
The President wasn't very concerned about bidding high for the Guild Establishment Order.
He stroked his chin in satisfaction; it seemed that the usually extravagant President had finally learned to be frugal this time.
If Jinchuan knew that Beichuan had bought this piece of information for a price not lower than the auction bid, he would probably be devastated once again.
The only one who knew the truth, Silver River, maintained a cold expression and remained silent.
Even after the auction ended and players were teleported out of the hall, they were still struggling to comprehend the sudden turn of events.
Especially those in the private room, their faces were a colorful display of emotions, looking quite fascinating.
Beichuan pondered for a moment before sending out a Private Message.
As Yan Yan was about to leave, she caught sight of the Beichuan ID on her screen, and a moment of contemplation flickered in her eyes. However, she ultimately replied with a negative answer.
A certain Rascal, who had been quietly protected, was swaying as he exited the private room when he ran into the Tall Elf Archer, who was also stepping out.
The surprise in her Peach Blossom Eyes faded quickly; she hadn’t expected it to be him.
It seemed that East Wind Arrives wasn’t the only one with a keen interest.
Thinking back to the fierce competition between Box Two and Ground Floor Box Two earlier, he couldn’t help but feel that East Wind Arrives was indeed quite fortunate.
If only his girl would go crazy for him like that, he would have no regrets!
Little did he know that later on, when the girl truly went wild for him, he would indeed have no regrets.
Knowing that she had a good relationship with the girl, he greeted her and asked, “Where is she?”
Huo Suixin’s Phoenix Eyes curved into a smile, carefree and exuberant, completely devoid of the gloom from losing the bid earlier. She replied, “You must be the Rascal Mr. she talks about all the time?”
Upon hearing the phrase “talks about all the time,” the corners of Black Veil’s lips curled higher, his voice brimming with mischief as he said, “Ah~ that’s me. So where is she?”
A glint of cunning passed through Huo Suixin's eyes as she responded:
“Beauty has an appointment~”
Upon hearing this, Qin Huai quickly thought of the young man with yellow hair and transmitted away.
Near the Reincarnation Shop.
The Information Broker looked at the Black-Masked Thief blocking his way with surprise.
Dressed in a sleek black outfit, the figure appeared even taller and more elegant. The brilliance in his Peach Blossom Eyes was almost blinding to the Information Broker. This flamboyant man looked increasingly familiar, especially those eyes; it felt like he had just seen them recently.
Furrowing his brows in contemplation, a memory suddenly flashed in his mind. It was at **S Institute when he brought Jiang Wulang inside and brushed past someone. At that moment, he locked eyes with those Peach Blossom Eyes. He was—
“You are that—”
The words slipped out, but they got stuck in his throat under the intense gaze of the other.
Yan Yan stepped aside, blocking Qin Huai's threatening stare, and said calmly, “Aren't you leaving? They will be coming out soon.”
With a narrowed gaze, he withdrew his attention from the entrance of the Reincarnation Shop.
After walking a good distance, Qin Huai pulled something from his pocket and casually tossed it toward a girl who was significantly shorter than him.
Yan Yan instinctively reached out as a dark shadow flew toward her. The familiar sensation instantly darkened her expression.
What is he planning to do?!
"What's wrong? Don't you want the 150,000 anymore?"
"I don't want it. It's a gift for you."
I want it!
Before she could voice her anger, the three words from the other party caught her completely off guard.
The young man with yellow hair felt as if someone had just splashed cold water on him in the private room, shattering his self-importance.
To win a smile from a beauty, what’s the harm in spending lavishly?
The words still echoed in his ears.
What a big bowl of dog food; he thought, wanting nothing more than to kick it over.
A dull pain lingered in his heart.
On the other side, Beichuan walked out of the Reincarnation Shop with a group of people behind him. Looking at the large "No" displayed on the interface, the Fox Tail behind him twitched. Although he still wore a bright smile, the coldness in his eyes sent chills down the spines of several members of Chuan Chuan Guild around him.
The smiling fox was angry; how terrifying—
At that moment.
A figure of noble elegance appeared in Beichuan's line of sight, an expression of unspoken concern still lingering on their face.
"Well, what a coincidence, East Wind Guild Leader, we meet again~"
Feeling displeased within, how could Beichuan allow others to feel comfortable?
A glint flashed in Beichuan Danfeng's eyes, and the stunningly beautiful face wore its usual charming demeanor as he said, "Why the expression, East Wind Guild Leader? Zero Point isn't limited to just this Guild Establishment Order. Since we can't get this one, let's aim for the next. Just do your best~"
"It seems Beichuan President is quite confident."
Before East Wind Arrives could respond, a deep and resolute voice came from behind.
The tall and steady Armored Swordsman was Old Steed in the Stable.
East Wind Arrives reined in his outward emotions and spoke, "It sounds like Beichuan President already has some ideas in mind. After all, you were the one leisurely munching on sunflower seeds from start to finish at the auction site."
"Hehe—Elder Steed President and East Wind President seem to be quite in sync now. I suppose this understanding will come in handy someday~"
The meaningful words tightened the hearts of both men.
"Beichuan President, Living Conditions."
Old Steed in the Stable's stern face was unusually grave.
He had no intention of continuing to play cat and mouse with him.
"Well—this is the Living Conditions~ I didn't bring it up, Nor," Crimson said, her Crimson Robe fluttering as a tuft of white Fox Tail peeked out, drawing closer to the two. "Go find her."
Her gaze shifted slyly towards the Reincarnation Shop, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.
Meanwhile, the girl holding the token felt a bit awkward and intended to open the two sudden Private Messages to clear her mind when a commotion erupted ahead.
"Tea Flavor Serenity, Believe it or not, we're going to Lun Bai you once again."
Yan Yan, who had initially planned to ignore them, tightened her eyes at the mention of her name, a cold smirk forming at the corners of her mouth.
Those in crimson were always so eager to court death.
"Hey, Yan Yan, that's Tea Flavor Serenity. Why is she still here? Isn't she supposed to be waiting for us at the Cloud Guest Restaurant?"
"You go back first; I'll handle the rest."
"Alright, just remember, I've already given you all her information. Make sure to review it before you talk to her."
Furrowing her brows in caution, she noticed the figure in crimson drawing nearer. The Information Broker, aware of her own lackluster combat skills, reluctantly turned to leave.
"Take care of your things."
She extended her hand, offering the token from her palm.
If it exploded, she'd lose 150,000.
The tall, slender Black-Clad Thief did not take the token. With unwavering focus, Peach Blossom Eyes stared into the girl's eyes and spoke slowly, "I know what you want."
The girl's dark pupils suddenly constricted, and the pounding of her heart drowned out all her hearing in that instant.
Her hands instinctively tightened around the wooden token hanging at her waist. The hollowed-out character "one" on its back pressed deeply into her palm, a flood of thoughts rushing to her mind.
"They've caught her—"
The shout snapped her back to reality. "I'll come back later," she thought as she hurriedly turned away, her silhouette betraying a hint of panic and confusion.
The Black-Clad Thief squinted his bright Peach Blossom Eyes, humming a carefree tune as he sauntered in the direction the girl had just gone.
The Bloodhound always interrupted his good fortune. Tsk—
It was truly annoying. (To be continued.)
