3.5 million!
This was the final bid from President Qianye of the private room 46, titled "Righteousness Above All." For a virtual item, this price was absolutely astronomical.
It's important to note that earning gold coins in the game is no easy feat. To be able to produce such a large sum all at once could only be achieved through the exchange system, converting RMB into gold coins... and the exchange rate was exactly 1:1. Thus, 3.5 million gold coins effectively meant a staggering 3.5 million RMB!
However, the bidding was far from over...
Shortly after Qianye called out 3.5 million, the previously silent private room 29 erupted with Zeng Jian's determined new bid: 4 million!
The price surged again by 500,000, causing many players present to gasp in shock and leaving their competitors gritting their teeth. Yet this bid of 4 million did not halt the auction; private room 11, Brotherhood of Loyalty, made an even bolder move—
4.5 million!
"Damn it—"
Inside private room 29, Zeng Jian couldn't help but curse under his breath... of course, this was without turning on his microphone; otherwise, that exclamation would have echoed throughout the venue.
"What should we do? Should we... still buy it?" King's Eternal beside him looked somewhat at a loss; 4.5 million was far beyond their expectations. Initially, they had only prepared to exchange for 3.5 million gold coins.
"Buy it, we must buy it!"
Zeng Jian furrowed his brows and quickly sent a private message to Chen Hui (Rebellious Blood Blade), the content was self-evident—seeking financial support. Noticing that their competitor Divine Silence Dust Fate had not participated in the bidding, Chen Hui breathed a sigh of relief and promptly transferred funds to Zeng Jian's account.
At that moment, the auction price was once again refreshed by Qianye from private room 46: 4.8 million!
"5 million!"
With Chen Hui's financial backing, Zeng Jian felt significantly more confident. With their combined funds, his total gold coin count had now reached an astonishing 7.5 million. As long as he didn't encounter someone desperate enough to go all out, he was already halfway to securing that Guild Token.
Time seemed to freeze...
Five million gold coins... For many, this might be a sum they could never hope to earn in a lifetime, but at this moment, it was just an ordinary number.
"Five million, Box 29 bids five million..."
With no further bidding voices, Mo Ziwen's voice rang out: "The first and forever number one Guild Token in the server, the current highest bid is five million from Box 29. Is there anyone present willing to bid higher?"
"Five million one!"
Box 11, Brotherhood Alliance... But at this moment, it was merely interpreted by the crowd as a final struggle. The Brotherhood Alliance clearly could not muster more funds; this bid of five million one was just a consolation for themselves or perhaps an extravagant wish for one last gamble.
However, it was evident that whether it was consolation or gambling, the Brotherhood Alliance was losing badly...
"Five million two hundred thousand!"
The new bid quickly erased all of Brotherhood Alliance's hopes, and this time it wasn't Zeng Jian making the offer, but Qianye from Box 46, who had returned once again.
"Five million five hundred thousand!"
Zeng Jian's voice continued to echo throughout the Auction Hall, his tone as resolute as ever. As the only remaining competitor at this moment, Righteousness Above All, despite being the nation's Third Guild, did not have the ease to casually throw out a bid exceeding five million five hundred thousand.
"Five million five hundred thousand once..."
Mo Ziwen's voice resonated again, and everyone held their breath. Would the auction hammer fall smoothly next, or would a dark horse suddenly emerge? It felt as if an invisible rope had tightly bound everyone's hearts together.
"Five million five hundred thousand twice..."
"Five million five hundred thousand..."
"Six million..." Suddenly, just as Mo Ziwen was about to announce the next step, a new bid shot up unexpectedly to six million. What was even more astonishing was that the voice of the bidder continued to tremble, "Six million! I bid six million..."
Clearly, this was already the limit.
"Box 46... our Box 46, starting bid at six million!" Mo Ziwen suddenly became excited again and continued loudly, "The current price for Box 46 is six million. Is there anyone willing to bid higher than six million? If you're interested, act fast!"
"Six million one!"
Zeng Jian's voice rang out again, and within Box 46, Qianye's voice followed: "Six million one thousand."
"Six million two thousand..."
In a rather amusing turn of events, both sides began bidding in increments of a thousand, leaving the players in the Auction Hall somewhat dumbfounded.
Before long, the price had climbed to six million nine thousand...
"Six million two!" came Qianye's voice.
"Six million two thousand one!" Zeng Jian responded.
"Come on—can’t you be a bit more gentlemanly? What's the point of bidding a thousand at a time? Why not just raise it by one Copper Coin at a time? Wouldn't that be better?" Finally, their back-and-forth bidding sparked dissatisfaction among the crowd; one person complained, leading to ten, then a hundred, then a thousand...
Box 13!
Listening to the price rise from an initial estimate to now six million two hundred thousand, Yi Tianchen and the others were quite shocked. Initially, they had anticipated the bidding for the Guild Token to be around four to five hundred thousand, but now it had directly reached six million two hundred thousand.
However, the crowd's complaints did not end the thousand-based bidding; instead, it exacerbated the situation. As the President of the Third Guild, Righteousness Above All, Qianye was the first to switch to bidding in Silver Coins, and Zeng Jian showed no signs of backing down as he officially brought Copper Coins into play.
"Damn—if I had known earlier, I should have limited the amount for each bid..." Li Tielong grumbled.
Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan exchanged glances, seeing only helplessness reflected in each other's eyes. Unlimited bidding was just like this; yet even so, they never expected that this bidding would develop into such a blood-boiling scene in the end.
"6,029,099 silver and 96 copper!" This was Qianye's bid...
"6,029,099 silver and 97 copper!" This was Zeng Jian's bid...
Some people could no longer contain themselves and left their seats, while countless curses echoed in the Auction Hall. However, most still craned their necks and perked up their ears to follow this final scene, listening to the intense back-and-forth between the two bidders.
Finally, perhaps they were both tired...
"6,050,000!" Zeng Jian's voice suddenly rang out, immediately drawing applause from the crowd. It was indeed a remarkable scene.
"Haah..."
A reluctant and despondent sigh came from Box 46. The President of Righteousness Above All, Qianye, finally conceded. After a moment of contemplation, he uttered three words: "I give up!"
At that moment, the onlookers, who had merely come to watch the spectacle, broke into applause...
As the host, Mo Ziwen continued with the proceedings. After three unsuccessful inquiries, the auction hammer in his hand officially came down.
The final winner: Box 29, King's Guild, Zeng Jian.
