Chapter 116
Chapter 116 - Silver Dawn
“Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, please come over here . Take the floating platform up to the 66th floor; there will be a person assigned there to receive you,” a golden-haired beauty stood beside the floating platform, saying with a smile .
The floating platform of the Blackwing Auction House was extremely large, capable of fitting more than 50 people at a time . It was from Seven Luminaries Crystals[1], which have extremely good magical conductivity . Many magical runes were carved onto the crystals, allowing the platform to freely float in the air . However, the floating platform was extremely expensive to make, and even if all of Red Leaf Town was sold, it would not be enough to make a floating platform as large as the one in Blackwing City .
In the entire Star-Moon Kingdom, only the Auction House at Star-Moon City, and also the Royal Palace, had a floating platform implemented . Moreover, the size of each of those floating platforms was much smaller when compared to the one in the Blackwing Auction House . It displayed the level of wealth held by the Blackwing Auction House .
To say the least, the Blackwing Auction House was extremely large in size . It was categorized into three different sections, which were the Common Section, the VIP Section, and the Luxury Section .
The auction venue for the Common Section was located from the 4th floor to the 36th floor . As long as one possessed the Blackwing Insignia, they could participate in the Common auction . However, there were much less rare items auctioned there .
The auction venue for the VIP Section was located from the 50th floor to the 100th floor . One must have a certain amount of status before being allowed to participate in the VIP auction . As for the items auctioned, rare items were the mainstay of the auction, with the occasional precious item .
The auction venue in the Luxury Section was located from the 150th floor to the 180th floor . Aside from those with transcendental strength, they were usually the overlords of a region . For example, the characters at the pinnacle of Star-Moon Kingdom .
In Shi Feng’s previous life, after he became a Tier 3 Sword King, he obtained a relatively good title, allowing him the fortune of entering the VIP Section . As for the Luxury Section, only the Guild Leaders and Vice-Leaders of first-rate Guilds had the right to enter this area . The pinnacle players who had reached Tier 5 in their Jobs were also allowed in this area . As to what items were sold at the Luxury auction, Shi Feng had no information about them whatsoever . It was a secret only known to the tyrants and pinnacle players of God’s Domain .
Shi Feng arrived at the auction venue on the 66th floor .
The entire venue was about the size of a single football field, and at this moment, it was completely packed with people . These people were all NPCs with the status of nobles or above, and it was an extremely difficult task for players who wished to compete for items with these NPCs . These NPCs were here specifically to prevent players from easily winning a bid without any competition .
Frankly speaking, the NPCs were just props at the auction venue . If a player’s bid did not reach the standard amount, then the item would be taken away by the NPCs, preventing players from conveniently obtaining rare items .
After everyone was seated, the auction officially started . After a white-bearded old man walked up to the stage, declaring the start of the auction, an item was slowly brought out onto the stage .
The first item auctioned was a Level 20 Secret-Silver Chestplate, its starting bid set at 2 Gold .
“The Attributes on it are good, but the price is just too expensive,” clicking on the equipment’s information, Shi Feng quickly gave up after looking at its Attributes .
Although it was good equipment, he was unable to put it to use right now .
If Shi Feng could really buy the item for only 2 Gold, then he might have still considered it . However, after a bout of bidding from the NPCs, the price of the equipment had already soared to 7 Gold .
If he were to sell the Chestplate to a first-rate Guild, he could not possibly obtain 7 Gold for it . At most, he could sell it for 3 to 4 Gold . After all, to the average players right now, even Copper Coins were considered a precious commodity, not to mention Gold Coins .
After which, piece after piece of Secret-Silver Equipment was brought out . There was even Fine-Gold Equipment being auctioned . However, not a single piece managed to attract Shi Feng’s attraction .
The reason was simple . All of them were just too expensive .
If the average level of players reached around Level 20, then the prices of equipment would become much cheaper . However, God’s Domain had started its operation only recently, so most players were still around Level 4 . Where would these players find that much money?
Half an hour later, the equipment phase of the auction finally ended, and the auction for other items began .
“The following item being auctioned is a Weapon Forging Design . This Forging Design is a fine work of Master Corian, and the bid for it will start at 3 Gold Coins . ”
Immediately, Shi Feng’s interest was roused . He then clicked to check on the item’s information .
[Silver Dawn Forging Design] (Secret-Silver Rank, One-handed Sword)
Level 10
Seeing that it was Secret-Silver Ranked, Shi Feng knew that his luck had come . Moreover, the Silver Dawn was a Level 10 weapon; it was absolutely something that he needed the most . The Abyssal Blade also needed ten Level 10 Secret-Silver Weapons to level up . With this Forging Design, that problem would easily be handled .
However, besides Shi Feng, there were still a few other Forgers who participated in the bid . After all, a Secret-Silver Forging Design was extremely rare . With that, the bidding for the Forging Design quickly started .
Within moments, the bidding price had already reached 6 Gold .
Shi Feng gritted his teeth, shouting, “7 Gold!”
“7 Gold 30 Silvers . ”
“7 Gold 50 Silvers . ”
“8 Gold . ”
With the crazed bidding from the NPCs, the price for the Silver Dawn steadily rose .
“Crap, I bid 15 Gold!” Seeing that the price has reached 13 Gold, Shi Feng immediately raised it by 2 Gold, showing his determination, and shaking the composure of these NPCs . If the price continued to rise, even Shi Feng would not be able to stomach it . After all, he only had slightly more than 20 Gold Coins remaining .
“16 Gold!”
The original worth of this Forging Design was around 15 Gold Coins . Shi Feng did not think that the NPCs would still compete .
“17 Gold!” Shi Feng made his decision . If the NPC Forgers were to bid once more, he would immediately bid 20 Gold for it . At that point, if it was still no good, then he could only consider himself as unlucky .
Finally, the NPC Forgers shook their heads at this price, no longer competing in the bid .
“Congratulations to Mister Black Flame for winning Master Corian’s Silver Dawn Forging Design!” the white-bearded old man clapped his hands, congratulating Shi Feng .
After receiving the Forging Design, Shi Feng let loose a sigh of relief . At the very least, he did not waste a trip to the Auction House this time . As for the 17 Gold, he had spent, sooner or later, he would be able to get it all back through the Silver Dawn .
After auctioning off the Forging Design, the white-bearded old man continued, “The next item is a super-rare skill for melee Jobs, the bid starts at 5 Gold Coins . ”
[Thunder Flame Explosion] (Action-type)
Requires: Melee Weapon
Causes 200 base damage, and additional flame and thunder damage to enemies within a 5-yard radius . Enemies struck will be placed in a fainted state for 4 seconds .
Cooldown: 45 seconds
Shi Feng’s eyes shone after seeing this item . Thunder Flame Explosion was definitely a super-skill for melee Jobs and was one of the most precious items in this auction .
“What to do? I don’t have enough money right now…” Shi Feng greatly desired this skill book . However, the starting bid for it was already at 5 Gold . At the very least, the final price for it would be 20 Gold or above .
While Shi Feng was in silent contemplation, the price for the skill book had already risen to 10 Gold . Compared to the Silver Dawn, the bidding for the skill book was even more fiery .
Shi Feng had no choice but to call out the interface for the Virtual Trade Center, canceling the remaining Gold Coins he had registered .
“Thank god…” Shi Feng let loose a breath as he discovered that there was still 23 Gold remaining out of the 30 Gold he had registered . In addition to the Coins he had on hand right now, it just barely totaled over 30 Gold . Such an amount should be sufficient to purchase this Thunder Flame Explosion .
“20 Gold!” Shi Feng shouted .
“20 Gold! Mister Black Flame has bid 20 Gold . Is there anyone else interested in bidding? This is the only precious item in the auction this time around . Everyone should not miss this chance to obtain it!”
Shi Feng could not help but send a disdainful glare at this old man .
“21 Gold . ”
“Since it is a precious item, then it definitely won’t be anything simple . I bid 24 Gold,” a Tier 2 Swordsman pleasingly said .
“I bid 26 Gold,” a Tier 3 Shadower yelled .
……
The majority of the NPCs present in this auction consisted of melee Jobs . Hence, the competition for the skill book was extraordinarily intense . Moreover, the higher tiered NPCs were all filthy rich . Just by doing a simple Quest, they would be able to obtain compensation of several Gold Coins, so their rate of income was extremely quick . If Shi Feng did not earn a lot previously, he stood absolutely no chance at competing with these high-tiered NPCs .
Looking at these high-tiered NPCs, he found each one of them was more powerful than the other . There was even a Tier 4 NPC placing a bid for the skill book .
Seeing as the price was about to reach Shi Feng’s bottom line . . .
“30 Gold!” Shi Feng placed his final bid . He would either succeed or die trying .
