Chapter 563: It's Wrong To Inflate The Price!
Leave a comment ⇐ PreviousNext ⇒
In the real world, numerous players were glued to their screens in anticipation of the live stream's commencement. Many eagerly awaited this groundbreaking event: the very first auction in the game.
At a minimum, they would witness the unprecedented auction of an Epic Equipment piece.
In a room in Dorado, America, Mira had logged out of the game and was now intently watching the big screen. Unlike other players, Mira aimed to extract valuable insights from the stream.
This strategy would minimize her need to rely on speculation to accomplish her goals. While she found exploration intriguing, it was often exhausting. Mira prioritized efficiency over the thrill of discovery.
She believed it foolish to forge a path independently when shortcuts existed. Hoping not to be disappointed, Mira picked up a soda from the table, opened it, and sipped.
Just then, the live stream of the game began. "Our first lot is the [Sea Emperor's Meteor], a quality item, starting at five thousand gold coins," announced the auctioneer.
The auctioneer smiled as a staff member beside her displayed the item.
Displayed was a deep blue gemstone, about the size of a fingernail. With the assistance of a Light Magician's projection spell, everyone scrutinized the gemstone closely. Given its purely decorative nature, the gemstone failed to excite the players, resulting in a quiet scene.
After a ten-second pause, a native nobleman lifted his bidding plate, offering "Six thousand."
He likely intended to fashion it into elegant jewelry, perhaps to impress a special lady.
"This hardly seems suitable as the opening item of the auction," Yaeger remarked in the VVIP room.
"A gemstone of this caliber is quite valuable; it's sufficient to kick off the auction," Kastina countered.
"That's true," Yaeger conceded, turning her attention from the auction stage to the VIP seats.
‘It's Taurus and S.K.Y. The two big fish are here. Excellent, excellent.'
Her gaze shifted again, and her pupils narrowed slightly.
‘Old Man Tian!' Her eyes fixed on a youthful figure in the crowd. Even if turned to dust, she'd recognize him—it was Ronald Tian, known as Old Man Tian.
‘I'm itching to go down there and give him a thrashing right now!' Regrettably, she had to maintain her anonymity among the public. ‘I guess I'll have to settle the score with him in person instead.' Yaeger gave a slight shake of her head in resignation.
Defeating Old Man Tian in the game would offer her little satisfaction. Her capabilities far exceeded those of any regular player, making it trivial for her to defeat Old Man Tian. Thus, it would simply be uninteresting.
Turning her attention away, Yaeger refocused on the ongoing auction.
