When it comes to the profession of archers, it can be quite a dilemma!
With sharp Speed, timely perception, and precise shooting, if combined with powerful output and crowd control skills, their overall strength would undoubtedly reach a new qualitative level...
Thus, Yi Tianchen had his eyes set on the Fire and Ice Arrow Skill Book!
Like Yi Tianchen, Liu Yuhan was also unwilling to easily give up this opportunity. She already possessed Shattered Dream... As the second artifact in the Server-wide rankings, it currently held the top position as the strongest weapon in the Server-wide equipment leaderboard, clearly bringing her close to the peak of output capability.
If she could acquire such a powerful skill that combined both output and crowd control...
"1800 gold coins!"
Another voice rose from the hall, number 19963, followed by a response from booth number 43, Li Zhan: "2000 gold coins!"
Clean and straightforward, without any hesitation...
"2200 gold coins!"
Another voice chimed in, leaving Mo Ziwen momentarily stunned. The large screen instantly displayed the source of this bid—booth number 13!
This was Master!
"Heh heh~"
A light chuckle followed, and then Li Zhan's voice came through without any hint of emotion: "So it's First Person. Since First Person is interested in this Skill Book, I shall gracefully withdraw. Consider it a favor sold to Mist of Time and First Person!"
“Given President Li Zhan's goodwill, how could I refuse? The favors in Dragon War in the Jianghu are not easy to repay!”
“Please, First Person, let’s have tea together sometime!”
“Damn it—”
Suddenly, a voice rang out from Room 17: “What’s going on? This is the bidding time, not a social hour for you to make connections. 2500 gold coins! I bid 2500 gold coins!”
“2800 gold coins!”
The scene shifted to Room 29, where the King's Guild was gathered…
Li Tielong exclaimed, “Is Zeng Jian out of his mind? What does he want with this Skill Book? When did the King's Guild ever have a decent archer?”
“He doesn’t want it; he’s just trying to drive up the price!” Liu Yuhan explained.
Clearly, Zeng Jian had noticed that Liu Yuhan wanted this Skill Book and was deliberately raising the bid.
“3000!”
Yi Tianchen's bid reset the stakes again, but since Zeng Jian intended to cause trouble, he wouldn’t back down easily. In an instant, Zeng Jian’s new bid appeared: 3100 gold coins!
“Damn it, this guy is a complete jerk!” Li Tielong wished he could drag him out right then and there.
“3200 gold coins!”
The source indicated that it was still Booth 13, but the voice that resonated was a melodious female voice. The hall immediately fell into a heated discussion once again, as this voice was too familiar. At the beginning of the auction, she had elaborately discussed the past and future with them!
"3300 gold coins!"
Without any hesitation, Zeng Jian's voice continued to echo coldly throughout the auction hall at the moment Liu Yuhan finished her bid. Even the dullest person could sense the intricacies at play here... It was clear that this backer was doing it on purpose.
"Zeng Jian is obviously doing this on purpose. If this drags on, won't he end up spending unnecessary money? A Skill Book exceeding 3000 gold is already an exorbitant price," Lin Yan expressed his concern.
"Then... it can only be Zeng Jian who ends up wasting his money," Yi Tianchen replied.
Liu Yuhan nodded; this was also her thought at the moment. Although this Skill Book was rare, it wasn't worth such a hefty expenditure.
"4000 gold coins!"
"4100 gold coins!"
As Liu Yuhan's new bid just dropped, Zeng Jian's bid followed closely behind. However, after that, there was silence. The crowd was silent because they found it too unbelievable; 4100 was far beyond their expectations and felt excessively extravagant.
Liu Yuhan's silence indicated her decision not to raise her bid any further. A Skill Book with a base price of 2000 gold had now miraculously risen to 4100 gold, leaving her speechless. The seller was overjoyed, while the buyer was left dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Mo Ziwen had counted to three but still received no new bids...
"Bang—"
The auction hammer suddenly fell, and Mo Ziwen officially announced, "Congratulations to Booth 29 for winning the bidding for the Fire and Ice Arrow Skill Book at a price of 4100 gold!"
"Uh... no, not anymore?"
In Box 29, Zeng Jian held a cup of tea, but he seemed frozen like a statue. Beside him, King's Eternal wore a face of despair and said, "I told you long ago to know when to stop. Once the price gets too high, the other party will definitely give up decisively. This is the bitter fruit we have to bear..."
"Sigh..."
With a sigh, the bitter fruit was indeed an apt description.
King's Guild was primarily composed of warriors, boasting formidable melee strength. However, when it came to archers, there were hardly any who stood out. If they casually handed over this 4,100 gold Skill Book to an Ordinary Member, it would feel like losing a chunk of flesh.
What was even more ridiculous was that Zeng Jian had been overly confident, convinced that Liu Yuhan was a sure win. The moment 4,000 was offered, 4,100 almost immediately followed. Otherwise, even a brief pause could have led to some reconsideration before making a competitive bid!
To put it bluntly, it was thoughtless decision-making...
"MLGBD, it's just 4,100 gold coins! At worst, I can just give it as a favor!" Zeng Jian rolled his eyes at King's Eternal after regaining his composure.
...
Afterward, the auction continued, but the items being auctioned were mostly ordinary ones, predominantly various weapons. Although weapons were the most important component for every player in Zero Era, their abundance meant that their prices paled in comparison to some special equipment.
For example: Jewelry, cloaks...
Before long, time passed unnoticed until it reached nine o'clock. This meant that the originally scheduled two-hour auction had officially entered its second half. Out of the fifty boxes present, less than ten had shown themselves in the first half; everyone was clearly waiting for the subsequent shocking moments.
As Mo Ziwen's voice rang out, the sixteenth item of this auction finally made its grand appearance—
Blaze Essence: An extremely rare gem that contains powerful and magical forces, formed from the heart of the earth's fire over thousands of years. It can be forged and embedded in magical artifacts, increasing the user's Fire Magic damage by 30%.
……
"Uh—this gem is a bit too powerful, isn't it?"
In Room 13, Yesterday's Fireworks, a mage, was momentarily stunned. "A 30% increase in Fire Magic damage? That's quite a joke, isn't it?"
"Hehe—produced by dragons, it's not an ordinary item," Li Tielong chuckled.
Yesterday's Fireworks was taken aback for a moment but quickly grasped the key point. He looked at Yi Tianchen and asked, "Is this gem yours, Tianchen Boss?"
It seemed that Yi Tianchen was the only one to have ever slain a dragon on the Server-wide leaderboard… Although that dragon kill was a stroke of luck, everyone acknowledged the result: Yi Tianchen had indeed slain the dragon and obtained the first Guild Token on the Server-wide.
