Chapter 24 Chapter24-The Legendary Item
In the auction hall.
Everyone held their breaths.
They all knew that the grand finale of the day was coming.
Almost everyone present came for that legendary item, now that the auction was finally moving on to the final part, they naturally took it very seriously.
The auctioneer, Isabella, knew what everyone was expecting and did not beat around the bush, addressing everyone:
"Now that the 'Silver Tear' auction has ended, finally, let us move on to the final part of this auction..."
"I suppose you are all here for this, so I won't keep you in suspense. Please have our etiquette lady bring our final item up."
After Isabella finished speaking.
An etiquette lady came forward with a tray.
Although the etiquette lady had a great figure, not a single one in the hall was paying attention to her.
Everyone was straining their eyes to see what was on the tray.
It was another wooden box.
However, this wooden box was rectangular and didn't seem very large.
"Could it be some kind of dagger weapon?"
In the crowd, some assassin players were extremely excited.
They were eager and had made up their minds that if this legendary item was a dagger, they would spare no expense to secure it!
Isabella took the long box, placed it on the center display stand, and opened the box.
In the box, there was a worn-out parchment.
Isabella took it out and showed it to everyone:
"This is the final item of this auction."
"The item is called 'Ancient Parchment'."
"According to Master Reo of our auction house's personal appraisal..."
"This parchment contains an ancient treasure of The Devil, recorded in the Demon language. Master Reo believes that The Devil mentioned here refers to 'Azazel', the Devil who controls the 'chaos'."
"In other words, this legendary parchment is a treasure map of The Devil. As long as we invite a master proficient in the Demon language to translate, we can use it to find a treasure of the God level!"
After Isabella finished her introduction, the people on the scene collectively gasped.
"A treasure of The Devil?"
In the VIP seat, Blue Sea's eyebrows furrowed slightly, seemingly surprised at the function of this item.
"I didn't expect it to involve The Devil... I must get this item."
On the other side.
The leader of Genesis Guild, Adam, was also staring hard at the parchment on stage.
He took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice to the mage next to him:
"We must win this item!"
"The Devil's treasure is no small matter. If we can get it... then in the game 'Godslayer', our guild will call the shots from now on!"
"Looking at it now, the money I've prepared might not be enough. You go to the group's finance department to arrange for more money, it's better to be safe than sorry."
The mage was taken aback and turned to ask Adam:
"Boss... how much money should I transfer?"
Adam pondered for a moment, thought about it, and then said:
"Let me think..."
"Thirty million dollars."
"Thirty million dollars?!" The mage's expression was full of shock.
That amount of money would be enough to equip their core members to the teeth.
Adam said to him:
"You should know what the game 'Godslayer' represents... It represents the future of humanity! If we can dominate the game, the benefits we gain in the future can definitely exceed our imagination!"
"Consider this as an investment."
The mage nodded.
In his eyes, Adam was a figure with a godlike strategic vision.
His investments have always paid off in spades.
All he had to do was to believe in him.
The VIPs were restless.
Players in other seats were also clearly not giving up.
Although they knew they might not be able to compete with the VIPs in terms of financial power.
So, many players in the regular seats began to band together.
"Brother K, you know, we are small guilds, none of us can win this bid alone. Why don't we join forces, pool our money to bid, and share the treasure evenly, what do you think?"
"Sure, if we join forces, we really have a hope of getting it! The Devil's treasure must be substantial, enough for us to share!"
"Anyone wants to join us in the OUR Guild for the auction? We can contribute a large amount of money, only requiring 60% of the final treasure!"
"We already have 3 guilds together, with a total of 8 million dollars! Anyone else wants to join us?!"
For a while, various discussions continued in the auction hall.
Isabella didn't interrupt them.
She knew that this item was very valuable and it was very likely to set a record for auction items in the game.
Letting participants prepare ample auction funds is beneficial to the item's auction.
At this time, many players in the Live Stream chat room were also pooling money together, they wanted to participate in the auction.
Even if the part they ended up with was small, they would still be very happy.
That's a treasure of The Devil!
Just a little bit of godly power or item would be a big win!
After about 10 minutes.
Isabella saw that the players were more or less done discussing, she announced:
"Alright, let's start the formal bidding for the last item."
"The starting bid for this 'Ancient Parchment' is... 5 million dollars in cash!"
Such a starting bid was not surprising.
After all, everyone felt that if the final price of such a thing was less than 10 million dollars, it would be unreasonable.
All of a sudden, someone made the first bid:
"I bid 6 million dollars!"
It must be said, this person was very generous, directly raising the bid by one million.
Unfortunately, in such a situation, wanting to take The Devil's treasure home for 6 million was just wishful thinking.
Someone immediately raised the price:
"6.1 million."
"6.3 million!"
"I bid 6.5 million!"
"Here's 7 million."
...
Isabella even had no time to speak.
The price was raised to 7 million dollars in an instant.
And still, countless people wanted to raise the price.
When the price was raised to 9 million, the number of people bidding finally decreased, and the speed of bidding also slowed down.
"I bid... 9.05 million!"
In the crowd, a player shouted through gritted teeth.
Though he only increased by 50,000 dollars, this was already his limit.
Even for this 9.05 million dollars, he would have to find a way to borrow several hundred thousand.
At this point, some of the less capable buyers had basically dropped out.
Those left were all big shots.
Darklord, having held back until now, saw the right moment, sneered: "You dare to participate in the auction without even preparing 10 million dollars?"
After saying that, he raised his voice and shouted:
"I bid 9.2 million!"
Hearing him shouting like this.
The one who bid 9.05 million looked as pale as death.
It was impossible for him to raise his bid anymore... so, he had to accept the fact that he was out of the competition.
Darklord, on the other hand, was very excited.
After he shouted his bid, no one followed up in a short time.
This made him impatiently yell at Isabella:
"Host, why aren't you counting yet?"
Isabella glanced at him, thinking: why are you in such a hurry, you don't really think you can take this parchment home for just 9.2 million dollars, do you?
Sure enough, before Isabella could even open her mouth.
Someone immediately shouted: "I bid 9.3 million dollars."
Darklord frowned, feeling very upset.
But he knew it was almost impossible to secure it at this price.
So, he immediately shouted: "9.35 million!"
"9.5 million."
This time, a proxy bidder placed a bid.
Proxy bidders mainly serve bosses who have not yet arrived, those who are watching the live broadcast but are not on site and want to participate in the auction, the best way is to find a proxy bidder, give them a commission, and have them bid on their behalf.
No one knows who the boss behind the proxy bidder is, whether it's one person or a group of people.
That's also the second advantage of using a proxy bidder... it can keep one's identity secret.
Darklord glared at the proxy bidder and raised his hand to shout:
"9.55 million!"
"10 million."
Another proxy bidder, a bespectacled man, pushed up his glasses and said calmly.
He didn't even wait for Darklord to finish his bid before raising the price.
Darklord snorted coldly, deciding to hold back for now.
It's not that he didn't have money, but seeing that Blue Sea and others hadn't bid yet, he knew it would be meaningless to bid now.
It would only make sense to bid when these big shots really make their move.
