Chapter 32 - Auction (2)
Chapter 32 - Auction (2)
PinkLotus aka Yua immediately knew the person in VIP room 1 had to be 'Shakuni'. That voice ... she could never mistake it. She sent a private message to Rudra " is that you in VIP1?"
" Yes " she instantly got a reply
Yua was feeling giddy for some reason .... it was the same type of feeling you get when you are around your crush in school ..... You just feel emotions you cant explain .
She was happy that Rudra was here .... However she needed to work as the Guild master of Azure Lotus hence putting work first she messaged " Im in VIP2 , lets not go for a bidding war.... although we cannot trade coins we can negotiate not to compete right?"
"Sure .... we will not compete for same items through No7 ..... its a fair game from then ... no hard feelings".
Rudra replied
"Ok" she agreed.
Item no 2 was then brought up for auction ..... It was Dragonfruit..... A box containing 12.
[Dragonfruit] (Epic) : Effect 1 : can be injested to increase agility by 20 , works only once per person
Effect 2 : extremely rare potion material, can be used to brew temporary agility potions .
Starting price : 50 gold
Increment : 5 gold
Buyout price 700 gold
55 gold! from no 117
75 gold! from no 25
150 gold ! From VIP2
Rudra really wanted to buy this item however honoring his word to PinkLotus he backed out of this one
200 Gold from VIP 3
250 Gold from VIP2
The common guild leaders paled at the amount of money being bid right now ... Just how frigging rich were the VIP's to casually bid 250 gold on a item ..... 250 gold was more than enough to buy their entire guilds .
INSANE
SIMPLY INSANE.
they understood at this point .... they are only here to watch the auction .... in no way can they actually participate.
The person in VIP3 was really pissed , but he restrained himself for now ..... He had prepared 1200 gold for this auction and although going higher than 250 was affordable for him .... he wished to save for the next items .
250 Gold going once
going twice
SOLD to the person sitting in VIP box no 2
Yua was satisfied .... she had brought 1000 gold for this auction and still had 750 left ... that meant she can still grab one or two more items.
The third item came for auction ... It was a growth type weapon .
[ Replica of Excalibur ] ( Dark Gold ) ( growth) : This is a sword made by the master swordsman dungri after being inspired by the divine sword Excalibur ..... Its grade can be enhanced by fulfilling some conditions
Effect 1 : +20% critical damage
+15% chance to cause bleed
+ 25% chance to ignore defenses
Effect 2 : Size manipulation.... can alter size according to the will of the user
Effect 3 : ??????
Effect 4 : ??????
Starting bid : 200 gold
Increment : 20 gold
Buyout : 1000 gold
Rudra wanted this item at any cost... Many may not realize this but the size manipulation skill is the most overpowered skill one could ask for as a swordsman .
Plus the other two effects had not been unlocked yet... which meant that after updgrade it could be even more amazing ... The value of epic equipment was immeasurable ... No matter the skills , equipment does matter .
The 200 gold starting price had silenced most people in the lower pavilion however the allure of the item made someone bid
200 Gold .... he said shakily .
200 gold by no 120.
Do we have 220? the auctioneer said?
Rudra waited for any other VIP to place bids but seeing as PinkLotus did not he bid 220
220 gold by VIP 1
240 gold by VIP3
Rudra was annoyed .... that guy did not bid when he waited but only bid now
300 gold .... Rudra declared
Rudra ' s bid increment made it clear that he would not let the item go for anyone
----------
(Inside VIP room 3)
Sir please dont be annoyed .... a assistant calmed the young master of Orange Rock ..... Why do these bastards keep bidding on my items? They are in the VIP room soo they must have more than 500 gold however this is the third item yet that guy in VIP1 has already used 500 gold? I need to teach him a lesson
400 gold !!! He said confidently .... no matter how rich Rudra was ... was he rich enough to bid more than 400 gold for a single item?
If he does he wont possibly have enough gold left to compete for later items
If he doesn't then 400 gold will still be acceptable for this items , It was a win-win for him.
450 Rudra said nonchalantly .
" HA , GOT YOU NOW. he sneered , idiot wasting all his wealth on early items ". Now lay back and watch how i buy the remaining items
Rudra was extremely happy with his buy .... he has spent 200 gold for the first item and 450 for this one ... subtracting from his total wealth of 2800 gold he still had 2150 gold left .... putting 1500 gold aside for the last item ..... he still had 650 gold left...
enough to buy 2 items.
The next two items were bought by Yua for 300 and 200 gold respectively , she bought a dark gold necklace and a darkgold armour . She only had 250 gold left meaning she may not be able to purchase anymore .
VIP4 bought 2 herbs as well for 100 and 150 gold ... honestly he overpaid for those items ... after the update those items will be available to purchase on the market .... Hardly worth 20 gold a stack.
With this the 7 items having a buyout price were hogged up by 3 VIPs , not a single item falling into the hands of common guild leaders .
" With this exchange we enter the stage where the most precious items for this auction would be displayed " The auctioneer said
Bringing the next item that Rudra wanted badly, it could be said to be the most important item in this auction ..... This item was why he could splurge all of his money without worrying about the expenses needed to run a guild
[ Reinforced Armour Set Blueprint ] ( Lv 30 ) : Blueprint to forge the Reinforced armour
Starting price : 300 gold
Bid increment : 30 gold
No buyout
Not much information was given ... however this design would become the base of his economic empire ..... It was a dark gold grade full set armour design that gave set equip bonuses .
After the first major update ... items would start having durability and equip conditions , one of which being level ..... level 30 dark gold equipment could only carry you till level 50 max .... although you should change it every 5 levels ideally ..... With the bulk playerbase still at lv15 to 17 this LV30 darkgold equipment design set would help him mint money for months to come.
He quickly placed the 300 gold bid .
