Chapter 106-107: Eve of the auction (Part 2)
In order not to waste the uses of the “Infinite Space Gate” and to let himself focus, Feng Xiao never returned to the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City, but he had to go back today. It was because it was the “Popular World” Auction House’s first auction and it was a shocking auction with the Guild Formation Token and high level equipment. All the major forces would gather and it was a good chance to find out about them, so how could he miss it.
Today was also the final day of the Ice Spirit Herb quest.
Yang Xi Ruo was silently standing with Shui Ruo Ruo in their flower garden, looking over all the flowers. It was unknown what they were thinking about.
“It’s been a while since we’ve seen big brother Feng.” Yang Xi Ruo said with a sigh.
Although she could hear his voice every day and touch him, it had been a long time since she last saw him, so she couldn’t help thinking this thought.
“Big sister Xi Ruo, young master is back!” Shui Ruo Ruo’s pleasantly surprised voice rang out. Yang Xi Ruo trembled and her beautiful eyes revealed a charming glow, as she rushed to the front yard.
Feng Xiao was being pulled to the back garden by Shui Ruo Ruo’s slender hand when he saw a fairy like figure floating towards him.
“Big brother Feng, you’re back.” Yang Xi Ruo immediately stopped with her face flushed with excitement. She stared at him without blinking and she couldn’t hide the happiness and love in her eyes.
Radiant in the game and dim in reality, every time Feng Xiao saw her eyes, his heart filled with pain.
In her eyes that didn’t know what to do, Feng Xiao softly raised her hand and among the flowers that she loved, the three of them talked about what happened in the past few days, laughing and gasping from time to time.
From beginning to end, Feng Xiao held her hand which gave him a feeling of warmth.
Eight thirty in the morning, there was still half an hour before the auction. Feng Xiao was unwilling to leave the two girls as he walked out of the Feng House.
Watching Feng Xiao leave, Yang Xi Ruo softly bit her lip.
Is there anything I can do for big brother Feng?
She knew from Feng Yao’s words that he would be someone that would do big things.
“Maniac, how are the preparations?”
“It’s better than you imagined.” Maniac’s words were calm.
“.....Pretend I didn’t ask. But, give me some spending money.”
“How much?”
“A hundred thousand.”
“I’m in the warehouse.”
Three minutes later, Maniac expressionlessly gave Feng Xiao a hundred thousand gold coins. Feng Xiao was too lazy to waste words with him, so he waved his hand and left.
He also didn’t dare stay, otherwise as the auction approached and more and more players came in, he doubted whether he’d even be able to leave.
When he came to this northern street, the crowd had been staring at him for a while.
When he opened his communication device, Feng Xiao called his precious Yao’er.
“Yao’er, have you returned to Heavenly Dragon Imperial City yet?”
“Big brother, I’m already back with Xiao Tian, we’re in front of the Feng House.”
“Alright, I’ll be there immediately.”
Covering up the glow of his equipment and using a “Wind Wall” to hide himself, Feng Xiao quickly headed towards the Feng House and left behind surprised gasps.
Seeing Feng Yao’s figure in the distance, Feng Xiao revealed a faint smile and he moved even faster, appearing in front of them in just a few breaths.
“Big brother!” Feng Yao immediately ran up and grabbed her big brother’s arm.
“Boss, ticket!” Xiao Tian anxiously reached out his hand.
“It’s just a ticket, is there a need to be this excited?” Feng Xiao curled his lips as he gave the two tickets that Maniac gave him to Xiao Tian and Chen Bing.
Xiao Tian quickly hid it like a treasure before saying with glowing eyes, “Boss, you don’t know how hard it is to get these tickets. They were only 50 gold coins per ticket, but now they’re being sold at 5000 gold coins and it’s a market price without a cap.”
“It’s this exaggerated?” Feng Xiao was a bit surprised.
“Boss, there are hundreds of millions of players in China and there are tens of thousands that want to make a guild. Moreover, this is the first auction in the Chinese Server, while also selling the first Guild Formation Token, twenty thousand seats are far from being enough.” Xiao Tian explained.
Feng Xiao thought about it and understood.
He gave a hundred thousand to Feng Yao before taking out his ticket and saying, “Let’s go, we’re heading to the auction.”
“Oh, alright. Wait, is little sister Yao’er not coming?” Xiao Tian asked in a surprised voice.
“Yao’er has something more important to do.” Feng Xiao laughed, as he ignored Xiao Tian’s questions and used the ticket.
With a flash of white light, he was teleported to a reserved seat at the front of the auction hall. After several seconds, Xiao Tian and Chen Bing were also sent to their seats.
“Wa, so many people!” Xiao Tian said with a sigh while looking around.
There was still ten minutes before the start of the auction and the entire hall was already filled. The twenty special rooms on the second floor that cost ten thousand gold coins were lit with magic lamps. The people in the room were either openly or secretly looking down over the people, while also accepting those looks of worship.
The first few rows’ reserved seats were filled with people. These people all had confident or arrogant looks, like they had to win the auction today. There was no need to say it, but they were all not simple people.
The auction hall was bustling and there were even more voices outside. There were countless players that hadn’t bought tickets that were looking for a way in.
“There’s still ten minutes before the auction and I have the last ticket. It’ll cost ten thousand gold coins, no bargaining.” There was a scalper that called out in the crowd.
This call was like kicking a hornet’s nest as countless players charged at him.
“Sell to me, sell to me!”
“Sell to me! I’ll buy it for eleven thousand!”
“Scram, father will pay twenty thousand!”
“Daring to steal father’s ticket, you don’t fucking want to live.”
…...
In the end, a fatty proudly took the ticket. At the same time, countless gazes with murderous intent stared at the scalper.
“You dare not sell to me! It’s best you don’t leave Heavenly Dragon Imperial City, otherwise father will kill you every time I see you……”
“Xiao Tian, how much do you think the Guild Formation Token will sell for?” Feng Xiao asked.
Xiao Tian considered it before saying, “I’m guessing at least three million.”
“Three million? Will it be that much?” Feng Xiao was a bit surprised.
Xiao Tian rolled his eyes before saying, “Boss, you normally act by yourself, so of course you don’t understand the importance of a Guild Formation Token for these people. This is the first Guild Formation Token in the Chinese Server, not only would your guild be placed as the first, it would also raise your guild by two levels and you can even choose your guild’s headquarters. Not only is it easy to become famous and earn a profit, you would be far ahead of other guilds, so naturally you would have the most people and the most influence.”
“If you have fame and influence, will you be afraid of not being able to earn money? You can even get many things that can’t be bought with money. Not to mention that several million to some people doesn’t count as money at all.”
Xiao Tian explained in an agitated voice. His boss didn’t understand a guild at all, he had always solved his problems with his own power.
But this was also the reason why he and the ice cube submitted to him!
Other than Feng Yao, no one understood him better in this world than him and Chen Bing. Normally he smiled and seemed like he was any harm at all, but once he met something serious, the aura around him changed. When he picked up a weapon, his body was covered in a killing intent that filled people’s hearts with fear that made them unable to approach them.
“So it can actually sell for this much.” Feng Xiao tapped his chair as he fell into thought. He already knew that he could sell the Guild Formation Token for a large amount of money, but he thought that the “large amount” was just several hundred thousand, at most it would be a million. He never thought that Xiao Tian would immediately give him three times the price.
On the second floor, inside room 11.
Maple Leaf Roaring Waves and Awe Inspiring Maple Leaves were timidly standing in front of a girl, listening to her vent.
“Damn! Damn! Damn! That bastard called Wind Cloud whatever surpassed me again. Big brother, second brother, quickly have father exchange for more gold coins!” Blue Starred Maple Leaf pouted her little lips as she angrily stomped the ground.
Maple Leaf Roaring Waves had a tearful expression as he said, “Lan Lan, the family has already taken out ten million. It is already enough to get that Guild Formation Token.”
“No, no, no!” Blue Starred Maple Leaf shook her head like a rattle drum, “I don’t care about that Guild Formation Token, I just won’t let that person surpass me in terms of gold coins!”
Maple Leaf Roaring Waves and Awe Inspiring Maple Leaves looked at each other with helpless looks before saying with a bitter smile, “Lan Lan, ten million is already the limit, it’s impossible to get even more otherwise dad will definitely be angry.”
“Really?” Blue Starred Maple Leaf saw that her second brother was actually going against her, so she believed it a bit.
“Of course, of course. Although our family doesn’t lack money, it will put pressure on the family if we take out that much at once.” Awe Inspiring Maple Leaves saw his chance and followed up on it.
“So it’s like this.” Blue Starred Maple Leaf thought for a bit before saying to Maple Leaf Roaring Waves, “Second brother, how much can you sell your Veyron for?”
Maple Leaf Roaring Waves’ legs turned soft and he almost broke out in tears. Without another word, he made a call to the real word.
“Dad…..That…..Have someone exchange more gold coins.”
“What!? More gold coins? Didn’t dad give you ten million just a few days ago? Don’t tell me that you’ve already spent it all.” There was a middle aged man’s angry roars that came from the other side.
Maple Leaf Roaring Waves was covered in cold sweat, like he could see his father foaming with rage.
“It’s that Lan Lan…..She…..”
“Dad, Lan Lan is lacking gold coins. If you don’t give more gold coins, Lan Lan won’t play this game anymore.” Before Maple Leaf Roaring Waves finished, Blue Starred Maple Leaf stole the communication device and said this with an aggrieved face before throwing it back to her second brother.
“Dad, it’s…..it’s like this.”
“Humph! It’s not possible even if it’s Lan Lan…..Wait, what did she just say? She won’t play anymore if she doesn’t have gold coins? My little ancestor, the family has finally had some peace, does she not want us to live? Ah Fu, go and exchange another ten million.”
Maple Leaf Roaring Waves and Awe Inspiring Maple Leaves had the veins on their forehead pop out. They secretly thought that only this little ancestor had this kind of treatment.
“Yay! I’m finally first in the gold coin ranking! I will become the richest woman and make that bastard Asura regret rejecting me!”
Putong.
The two of them fell face first.
This girl who no one had ever rejected was still thinking about the day Asura had rejected her. Moreover, her method of retaliation was…..this shocking.
“Xiao Tian, how is the thing I had you investigate?” Feng Xiao who had been silent opened his eyes and spoke.
Xiao Tian patted his chest and said, “Boss, are you not assured with my intelligence network?”
“Wild Demon Wolf, boss already knows about this person and is currently the only successor of the Ximen Family, who has established the Demon Wolf Gang. According to my observations, the Demon Wolf Gang not only has the backing of the Ximen Family, it also has the backing of the Nalan Family. But Ximen Kuang is too arrogant and he can’t become anyone important.” Xiao Tian pointed at the person in room 3 with his greedy eyes and the giant wolf head embroidered on his clothes.
This kind of special embroidery could be done at a shop as long as one spent a few silver coins.
“Heavenly Demon Wind Clouds, this person’s background is as boss had guessed, he is the young master of the largest Heavenly Demon Gang in China’s underground world. The Heavenly Demon Gang has powerful influence and their members are all over the country, reaching tens of thousands, so the country doesn’t easily provoke them. Heavenly Demon Wind Clouds is a proud person with a hot temper, but from his actions over the years, this person is more astute than imagined, otherwise his father wouldn’t have allowed him to handle such a large guild. Boss, this gang has extreme methods without care for the law, with most of them being fugitives, so boss has to be careful when you meet them one day.”
Feng Xiao nodded before looking at the young man with closed eyes in room 9.
“Hand of God, the people I sent haven’t been able to find any concrete details or what he even looks like. But he is connected to a guild called the Gods Domain and this guild has the Shangguan and Sima Families behind them. I think that he should be close to one of those two families or he should be someone from one of the three other southern noble families.”
Hand of God. Feng Xiao had learned from Maniac that this person was in room 1, but this room was currently shut and he didn’t show any trace of showing off, making him unable to read his character. He could only vaguely see two figures.
“Soul Destroyer, this person is very arrogant, wild, and doesn’t put anybody in his eyes. Although it is like this, no one has been able to find anything on him in all these years. The country has investigated him for more than two years and can only guess that he is an assassin, a top assassin. Although the Soul Destroyer Guild under him doesn’t have many people, they are all elites and very fierce, so they should all be killers.”
“Soul Destroyer?” Feng Xiao already knew about this person. All the people who played the game knew about him and their faces would change when mentioning him. If he really was a peak assassin, he might be someone on the Dongfang Killer List.
Dongfang Killer List:
First: Blood Emperor Ying Feng
Second: Scolding Soul
Third: Shadow Angel
Fourth: Demonic Blade
Fifth: Hell Judge
Soul Destroyer…..Scolding Soul…..Could it be him?”
“As for that Whistling Moon…..” Xiao Tian pointed at the black clothed person sitting in the corner and said in an unnatural voice, “Xiao Bing and I both know him.”
A youth with eyes as sharp as an eagle, that was Feng Xiao’s first impressions of him.
“The Nangong Family’s young master, the successor of the Sniper God’s position, which is also my father’s successor.”
“Oh?” Feng Xiao became interested and couldn’t help looking over the young man who looked no more than fifteen-sixteen. He never thought that when he looked at him, a cold gaze would look back at him.
Good sharp senses. Feng Xiao looked away, gaining some understanding of the one who would become the Sniper God.
“To be honest, Xiao Bing and I don’t like him. He is very young, but he is very wild. Then again, there aren’t many experts like that who aren’t wild, but it is annoying how he turns his nose up when he looks at us. You really can’t underestimate his strength, it’s said that he is the only person in a thousand years that could pull the strings of the bow that the Nangong Family inherited…..”
“The Desolate God’s Howling Moon Bow!” Feng Xiao softly said.
“Right, right! Boss is boss, you really know everything, you even know this. As far as I know, other than the Nangong Family and the family of us Four Gods, the others don’t know this at all.”
Feng Xiao was silent. The Desolate God’s Howling Moon Bow that was fifth on the ten divine weapon ranking, it was something he had to have.
“Maple Leaf Guild. As boss already knows, they are from the Xuanyuan Family and they are as low-key in the game as in real life.” Xiao Tian kept explaining.
“Scarlet Flames Burning the Heaven, someone from the Ouyang Family and he’s just as low-key, but the ‘Scarlet Flame Guild’ that he’s established can’t be underestimated. Right now they have over ten thousand people and as long as they obtain the Guild Formation Token, they can immediately become a powerful guild.”
“As for that Hen Tian…..Boss, other than him being second place in «Rebirth»…..Don’t fight, don’t fight, that’s what’s said in the forums…..Ke, ke, he never hides his actions. Although I can easily obtain his picture, it is very strange that after investigating with various methods for a week, we haven’t been able to find information on this person. It is like he appeared out of thin air.”
“Moreover, his hair is strangely red. You have to know that your hair in the game is the same as real life, which means that he also has red hair in real life. It’s unbelievable!”
“Another thing is that whenever he appears, there would be a red clothed girl that follows him, but that girl always covers up just like boss so no one knows what she looks like. Boss, do you know how his name as the Ominous God came to be?”
“I do, he killed ten people in one day!” Feng Xiao softly said. He knew since he had seen this matter on the forums.
“That’s right! Although he didn’t kill a hundred people at once like boss, the amount of people he’s killed is more than boss. Moreover, he is the same as boss, he doesn’t gain sin when he kills people because there are no guards that try to catch him when he comes to the city. There are many players that say that he is even more powerful than the Asura.” After Xiao Tian said this, he secretly gauged Feng Xiao’s reaction, but he was disappointed to find that he wasn’t dissatisfied at all.
“Look at the big pig in box 19, he is Money Seeker, the richest person in China. Although his appearance doesn’t look human, his sense for business isn’t fake, perhaps he’s even a match for Maniac.”
“Oh, is that so?” Feng Xiao looked at the pile of fat and he began calculating how to dig out his money.
“As for the Little Blade you had me find, my people haven’t found it and it seems to be quite well hidden.”
“Boss, I’ve investigated only this because time was limited. I only sent people to investigate the people on the level and money rankings, but there are definitely powerful forces that I haven’t investigated.”
“Nothing else? Just this? What about the Duanmu and Beiming Families?” Feng Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and his voice was a bit agitated.
Xiao Tian knew why Feng Xiao had such a large reaction, so he patted his shoulder and said, “I can’t find any movements from these two families, but I will have people keep investigating.”
Feng Xiao was silent for a bit before saying, “Take your time. Also help me investigate a person called ‘Madame Proud Moon’.”
“The number one fairy Madame Proud Moon?” Xiao Tian’s eyes first lit up before he looked at Feng Xiao in surprise and said, “You want her?”
“Damn, she’s probably someone from the Duanmu Family!” Feng Xiao really wanted to hit him.
“Oh, oh, so it’s like this. Alright, I’ll have people investigate right after the auction…..That’s right, boss, why hasn’t your level changed in the past few days? That Hen Tian is about to catch up to you.”
“Is that so?” Feng Xiao had been playing with the Swift Thunder Swallowing Beast for the past few days, only killing monsters in the Terror Forest when he was feeling upset. In five days, his level 31 experience bar had only gone up 40%.”
Opening the level rankings, he found that the second place Hen Tian was already level 31. He would probably catch up in another half a day,”
“Damn, these fellows, they really are crazy. Isn’t their speed too fast.” Feng Xiao complained in a dissatisfied voice.
“Now that there’s no limit in game time, those people are leveling 24 hours a day. Anyway the game can replace sleep, one can eat, drink, and play with girls in here, the air is fresh, and one doesn’t need to work with the support of their family.” Xiao Tian wasn’t surprised at all.
“Boss, your advantage was very big when it was just 9 hours, but now. Ze, ze…..” Seeing Feng Xiao’s murderous gaze, Xiao Tian tactfully closed his mouth.
“Should this master spend 24 hours online….Un, forget it, sleeping during the Chaotic Art is the fastest way.” Feng Xiao silently thought.
Opening the money ranking, Feng Xiao was scared.
Wealth Rankings:
First: Heavenly Demon Wind Clouds - 6990000 Gold Coins
Second: Blue Starred Maple Leaf - 6880000 Gold Coins
Third: Maniac - 6720000 Gold Coins
Fourth: Soul Destroyer - 6500000 Gold Coins
Fifth: Nameless Weeping Blood - 6220000 Gold Coins
Sixth: Money Seeker - 6000000 Gold Coins
Seventh: Hand of Apocalypse - 5520000 Gold Coins
Eighth: Wild Demon Wolf - 5500000 Gold Coins
Ninth: Scarlet Flames Burning the Heaven - 5500000 Gold Coins
Tenth: Little Blade - 4920000 Gold Coins
Rich people, these were rich people with nowhere else to spend their money. They actually invested this much into a game, a single gold coin was equal to one RMB.
Especially the legendary little girl obsessed with money from the Xuanyuan Family, Blue Starred Maple Leaf. She actually had this many gold coins.
All these gold coins were naturally for the Guild Formation Token. It seems like the price of three million was still low. Other than that, there was an unknown Nameless Weeping Blood that had suddenly appeared in the money rankings.
