If audio player doesn't work, press Stop then Play button again




The VIP section, E14 room.

Wil pressed the ++ button on the remote.

"E14 bids 1100 gold coins." Amelia once again announced the current bid.

As the potion is extremely useful in the upcoming war, there are also VIPs who decided not to bid for previous items, tried their luck with this.

"B6 bids 1150 gold coins."

"A4 bids 1200 gold coins."

Bran raises the bid to 1250 but he was outbid by Martial Scholar once again. 

"C27 bids 1250 gold coins."

"E14 bids 1350 gold coins."

Wil didn't stop it. He already decided to sweep all the items, not intending to give up any of the final items for the mastermind behind the slander.

Except for the Galaxy Net, Wil decided not to yield any item to anyone.

The bid went on for five minutes until it finally stopped with Wil clicking on ++ for the last time.

"E14 bids 3550 gold coins."

"3550 going once, twice." *Ting* "Sold"

"Congratulations E14 for acquiring Demonic potion."

The gamers on the ground floor widened their eyes and stare at the fifth floor.

Who is this new tycoon that popped up all of a sudden?

Wil's rampage didn't stop there.

"2800 going once, twice." *Ting* "Sold"

"Congratulations E14 for acquiring player city."

"5750 going once, twice." *Ting* "Sold"

"Congratulations E14 for acquiring Thunderstorm Skill book."

By the time the fifth item landed in Wil's hands, the audience already went numb.

VIP section, B6;

Supreme Conqueror narrowed his eyes and asked, "tell me what items this person from E14 bid so far?"

His secretary looked at the list that she was recording every item that's been auctioned and who it ended up with.

"Hmm, Mass teleportation scroll, mass resurrection scroll, an Epic grade level-210 shield, a legendary- grade level-200 missile launcher, a batch of high-grade mana potions, and a couple of heroic grade pet eggs.

Nothing important except for the key fragment, Demonic potion, player city, and the Thunderstorm Skill book. All the four of them are bought vigorously for 1100, 3550, 2800, and 5750 gold coins respectively."

"Hmm… nearly 13000 gold coins?" Supreme Conqueror frowned after listening to the report. "The gears suddenly changed or is the person changed? I think he invited someone with a powerful background and bidding on his/her behalf."

His secretary also agreed with his opinion, "That seems like the only logical explanation."

"4600 going once, twice." *Ting* "Sold"

"Congratulations E14 for acquiring 

"9150 going once, twice." *Ting* "Sold"

"Congratulations E14 for acquiring legendary+ grade level-250 dual daggers.

The casual players became numb, The VIPs became numb and even Akiko as well the old professor became numb.

The only ones who were indifferent are Wil who was bidding, and Evie who don't know the concept of too much spending for something.

Meanwhile, Bran and Sierra are celebrating as two of their items are sold for 13750 gold coins.

Deducting the auction fees, they still had a profit of 11000 gold coins which they divided among themselves with Bran taking 50% of the share and the rest of the three taking the remaining amount.

Thankfully, Wil didn't know of it, or else, he would regret his actions.

He can take all the slanders from the world but can't stand helping out Bran. That was how much he hates him.

VIP Section, C27;

Martial Scholar slammed the table in frustration. Just who is this f**k**g rich brat that's squandering so much amount of gold.

He isn't like the ones in the B1 room. No matter how much he rose the amount, this person in E14 didn't even hesitate to pay a higher price.

The first time it happened, he was happy that he managed to waste another person's gold coins.

The second time it happened, he wanted to teach this arrogant person a lesson.

The third time it happened, he became competitive.

And the sixth time it happened, he lost his motivation. 

Wil didn't care whether this guy is purposely making him spend his money or they genuinely want to acquire the items.

He just continuously spent his money and acquired every special auctioned by the players.

Either way, due to Wil's enormous spending, the Summersoft company employees are happy that they are getting huge bonuses and at the same time, making the people who auctioned the items, rich, overnight.

"The players auctioned items are finally finished. Now, there are ten items remaining. The grand finale of the World Auction is going to being in ten minutes.

The currency exchange platform will remove the limits in these ten minutes. Lease make your preparations."

'What a greedy bunch.' This was what everyone thought at the same time as they realized they can't exchange the gold coins they got from the auction.

It was another scheme Summersoft implemented in secret during the 2nd major update to make sure the gold coins aren't exchanged too much and drop the value of the currency. 

While the buying price is still at 152 credits per silver, the selling price was lowered to 101.

During the World battle tournament, because of the betting, the company indeed lost too much amount of money as many players became rich overnight.

To prevent that from happening again, they also implemented a system such that any gold coins earned from the system events like an auction or a tournament will turn into locked gold coins.

Ten minutes later;

The exchange platform reverted to original state after seeing enormous profits as more than a million gold coins were purchased.

Once again, the boxes were brought onto the platform.

Amelia announced, "Now, here are the top ten items that everyone is waiting for."

*Click*

She opens the first box and reveals a pair of outfits. They are luxurious and have an ancient Royal Eastern style. Both of them are matching outfits and are shining in rainbow color. It was solely aimed at the couples for sure.

"Wow…"

Wil heard exclamations from his left and right.

As he turns his head, Wil saw Evie and Akiko were staring at the outfits. They were entranced by its appearance.

Pointing at them, the host explained, "this is a set item called the Everlasting Love. Other than their exquisite art, they compliment each other if they were worn by a pair of a man and a woman."

***

It's not just the both of them, almost everyone is amazed at the sight of those outfits, although the mindset of boys and girls are different.

While men focused on the stat raise, most of the women, focused on appearance.

Many male gamers who are in a relationship became pressured right now as their girlfriends/wives wanted the outfits.

Surely, it costs hell a lot, right?
