Chapter 1052: A Close Neighbour Is Still More Helpful Than A Distant Relative

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Three hundred thousand gold... if it was converted to real money, that would be an astronomical figure.

For a rare item like a pet, to be sold at a price of 200,000 gold was already the maximum amount that all the players found acceptable.

After all, this item was still a rare one...

The mentality of a tycoon would never be understood by the layman. Just because he felt undignified, he had raised the price of the bid by a whole one hundred thousand gold. It could only be said that this person was someone that viewed money the same way as to how he would view dirt.

If it were anyone else, if it was solely to go against Feng Yun Realm, in the face of such a sky-high price, they would definitely not dare to raise it any further.

Three hundred thousand gold! What if this second-generation wealthy brat decided to no longer raise the price, it would immediately lead to their bankruptcy!

Of course, the people from Quan Zhen Sect naturally didn’t put Feng Yun Realm in their eyes.

First and foremost, the people from Quan Zhen Sect weren’t lacking money. Secondly, this item belonged to Wang Yu... Regardless of how high a price they shouted, at the end of the day the gold would still be transferred back to them. The most they would lose was the transaction fee deducted by the auction house.

Seeing that Young Master Feng Yun Realm had already spent so much gold to purchase so many items, everyone naturally had to spend some money to accompany him.

“301,000 gold!” Wang Yu faintly smiled at Feng Yun Realm before raising his board.

“...”

Upon seeing Wang Yu’s bid, everyone couldn’t help but gasp at how bold Wang Yu was.

“You!!”

The veins on Feng Yun Realm’s forehead started to bulge.

“Hehe!” Wang Yu gleefully laughed, he sarcastically said, “Seems like your pocket change isn’t enough!”

“350,000 gold!” Feng Yun Realm slammed the table.

“350,000 gold going once!!” Old Nine excitedly announced.

“351,000 gold...”

“400,000...”

“401,000...”

......

As Feng Yun Realm’s expression became increasingly uglier, the price became increasingly higher. Quan Zhen Sect, on the other hand, was still calmly raising the price to match Feng Yun Realm.

Regardless of how much gold Feng Yun Realm bid, they would always add a thousand more to it.

Feng Yun Realm finally saw what Quan Zhen Sect was trying to do. They were trying to go head-on against him till the end. Regardless of what happened, he wouldn’t be able to take this Dragon Egg away this time. Since that was the case, he wouldn’t let this group of b*stards get away cheaply either.

After thinking about it for a while, Feng Yun Realm’s gaze sharpened. He bellowed, “500,000 gold!!”

This was the highest offer that Feng Yun Realm could currently give, if Quan Zhen Sect dared to follow his bid, then he would let them pay that price.

If Quan Zhen Sect had to take away the Dragon Egg at twice its original selling price, the one to take the loss would naturally be them.

After throwing out such a staggering price, Feng Yun Realm coldly smiled and glanced over at Wang Yu.

Wang Yu faintly smiled and calmly raised his board.

“Ha ha!” Upon seeing Wang Yu raising his board, Feng Yun Realm couldn’t help but release a triumphant laugh. Just when he thought Wang Yu had raised his bid once more, all he saw on Wang Yu’s board was three words, “You have won!”

“Shit!”

Feng Yun Realm forcefully swallowed a mouth full of blood to prevent himself from spitting it out. In a new fit of rage, he pointed at Wang Yu and shouted, “You... Why didn’t you continue bidding?”

Wang Yu cheekily laughed and said, “Since Young Master Feng Yun Realm is so interested in my egg... I have no choice but to let you have it. How could I still keep it for myself?”

“Pfft!!”

Feng Yun Realm immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, “This... This pet egg is yours?”

D*mn it... He had treated this as an auction but his opponent had treated this as a chopping board for them to extort others. The most depressing part about it was that he had blindly raised the price himself...

“That’s right...” Wang Yu cupped his fist in an exaggerated manner and thanked Feng Yun Realm, “I never knew that Young Master Feng Yun Realm would love this item so much. I have to thank Young Master Feng for his love and adoration. As to whether this egg is to be fried or boiled, I will leave it up to you.”

“I...”

Feng Yun Realm’s expression was extremely black. He clenched his fists to the point where the sound of his bones cracking could be heard. If this wasn’t Freedom City whereby the security was so strict, Feng Yun Realm would have already brandished his weapon and flew over to kill Wang Yu.

Upon seeing how furious Feng Yun Realm was, the big bald-headed man on the other table beside them, named Wu Ke, said in a low voice, “Brother, after playing with Young Master Feng to such an extent, aren’t you afraid that he would PK you in real life?”

They were wealthy people after all. Especially for wealthy people like Feng Yun Realm that had underworld connections, ordinary people could not afford to offend them.

“Ke ke!” Vainglory, who was standing closest to Wu Ke, smugly said, “Real life PK? My Uncle Bull will fight him barehanded.”

Wu Ke, “...”

For a single pet egg, Feng Yun Realm had actually spent a staggering amount of 500,000 gold in order to purchase it... Even though that brat didn’t lack any money, after getting toyed by Wang Yu like this, he must be seething with hatred.

At this moment, Old Nine, who was on stage, had already retrieved the very last item that was up for auction. It was also the item that all the players in the auction hall coveted—-City Lord Seal.

Without waiting for Old Nine to describe the item, the entire auction house was already eagerly waiting to start the bid.

Everyone was holding tightly onto their money pouch, lightly shaking it, hoping to intimidate others with how much gold they had.

After clearing his throat, Old Nine announced, “Good lads, how could a guild not possess their own land in their conquest of the world? Sky Dragon City is one of the four largest Capital Cities in the game. Now that the City Lord Heavenly Dragon has been slain, the city is left without a ruler. Sky Dragon City is the starting point for those that wish to conquer everything under the heavens. The bidding for the Sky Dragon City Lord Seal will start with no minimum bid! There is no minimum required increment in the bid as well! Let the auction begin!!”

“Ten thousand!”

The moment Old Nine’s voice faded, a voice coming from a corner immediately rang out. This voice instantly attracted countless of rolled eyes.

Ten thousand gold to be a City Lord? What a joke.

“10,001 gold!” At this moment, another person raised the bid once more... Such a shrewd way of bidding made the people from Quan Zhen Sect feel a sense of familiarity.

However, an item like the City Lord Seal was definitely worth more than such a price.

Even though everyone wanted to buy it at a low price, how would they willingly let others purchase it for such a low price... furthermore, everyone had saved their money for this moment, how could the City Lord Seal be sold at such a ridiculously low price?

After a few rounds of bidding, the price of the City Lord Seal had already risen to 200,000 gold...

Furthermore, the price was still rapidly increasing.

However, the Feng Yun Realm that had been extremely lively throughout the entire auction was lying lifelessly on his table.

“Hey! Young Master Feng, it’s the City Lord Seal, I thought you claimed that it was definitely yours for the taking? Why aren’t you bidding?” Fearless took out a staff and waved it at Feng Yun realm.

“Bullsh*t! The reason why I’m not calling out any bids, you of all people should know the reason why!”

Feng Yun Realm glared at Fearless, no longer wishing to bother himself with this person.

“Haha.” Fearless laughed and said, “Could it be that after purchasing the pet egg, you no longer have any money on you?”

Feng Yun Realm’s wealth was nothing to be laughed at. However, under Old Nine’s splendid promotional tactics, nearly everyone had found out that there would be a City Lord Seal being auctioned off today.

Thus, since yesterday, the market for gold was flourishing, everyone was fervently purchasing gold... Regardless of how much real money Feng Yun Realm had, it was impossible for him to buy more gold if there were no more stock left available. Furthermore, this brat usually spends so extravagantly and never bothered to keep any savings. Therefore, after purchasing that 500,000-gold egg, he no longer had any money to produce.

“Heng!” Feng Yun Realm coldly smirked and said, “How could this daddy here not have any money? Two days later when the market for gold has been restocked, daddy here will buy over 8,000,000 gold in one go!”

“He he!” Fearless cunningly smiled, “Water given to you in the future would not be able to quench your current thirst. However, a close neighbour is still more helpful than a distant relative. For our seats to be allocated side by side to each other could also be considered a sign of fate. If you lack money, feel free to ask from this brother here.”
