There was no such thing as fairness in the world.

Take for example Wang Yu’s peerless Martial Arts, Fearless’ ingenuity as well as Feng Yun Realm’s wealth.

The bunch from Quan Zhen Sect could be considered one of the wealthiest players in the entire game. Even so, they had to be calculative when they spend their money and wouldn’t recklessly throw away their wealth.

For people like Feng Yun Realm that could afford to continuously spend twenty thousand gold on things that he didn’t need, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect were far from reaching his level.

After all, even though most of the wealth earned by those from Quan Zhen Sect were through underhanded means, they had still “worked hard” for it. Naturally, they couldn’t compare with someone like Feng Yun Realm that worried over having too much money on his hands.

“Heng heng!” Upon hearing Feng Yun Realm’s provocation, Fearless squinted his eyes, plastered a fake smile on his face and coolly said, “Feel free to spend as you please!”

“?”

Upon hearing what Fearless said, Feng Yun Realm was momentarily stunned. Soon after, a conceited expression returned back on his face. He said, “What? Are you scared?”

“Haha!”

In light of Feng Yun Realm’s mockery, Wang Yu and Fearless burst out in laughter instead.

Even though Feng Yun Realm that brat didn’t lack money at all, a major portion of the gold being circulated in the game was held by the guild leaders of various large guilds. Thus, Feng Yun Realm definitely did not have the ability to purchase every single item in the auction.

Of course, one could purchase in-game currency using real money with the system’s merchant. However, the ratio was 100 to 1, and the rate for online transactions was 50 to 1, after deducting the transaction costs and whatnot, the exchange rate was nearly halved.

Even though Feng Yun Realm was overflowing with wealth, he wasn’t an idiot either.

Exploiting others to benefit oneself had always been the way Quan Zhen Sect did things. It was pointless for them to outbid Feng Yun Realm for other people’s items, it would benefit others instead. On the contrary, they should encourage him to save more money for the final bid for Wang Yu’s item.

For the City Lord Seal, Feng Yun Realm already knew that it was placed on auction by Wang Yu. Despite so, with so many large guilds eyeing it, there was no need for Quan Zhen Sect to do anything for the price to be jacked up. The Dragon Egg on the other hand… keke.

As the saying goes, fertile water should be kept for oneself, not others.

After acknowledging this fact, none of the people from Quan Zhen Sect bid for the subsequent equipment, skills and tools displayed on auction.

Seeing the people from Quan Zhen Sect being so docile, Feng Yun Realm was over the moon.

The following items were all smoothly auctioned out and no one from Quan Zhen Sect offered a bid. This led to Feng Yun Realm feeling extremely conceited with himself, feeling as if he had firmly stepped all over Wang Yu, leaving him in the dust.

After Old Nine successfully auctioned off the last skill book, the lights in the auction house were suddenly switched off. With the entire room in complete darkness, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Just when everyone was holding onto their breaths and wondering what was going to happen next, a beam of light suddenly fell onto the centre of the stage.

At this moment, Old Nine spoke in a deep yet enthusiastic voice, “The moment all of you have been waiting for is finally here. Everyone, please hold onto your seats as the next item that will be auctioned off will surely dazzle each and every one of you. Three… two… one!”

“Hooha!”

Following the countdown, with a swing of his hand, the black cloth covering the item placed in the centre of the stage was removed. At the same time, a pitch-black and round egg came into the vision of the audience.

At this moment, Old Nine no longer beat about the bush. He immediately displayed the attribute of the Dragon Egg for everyone to see.

For a moment, the entire auction hall was silent. Shortly after, the entire crowd broke out into roars of excitement. The entire audience was in an uproar.

“F*ck! It’s actually a pet egg!”

“It’s a Dragon Egg! A high ranked Dragon Egg!”

“The forums only mentioned that there was a City Lord Seal up for auction. No one said anything about such an item…”

After seeing the Dragon Egg, everyone was momentarily excited, but soon felt depressed… They were excited by the fact that there was actually such a precious item being placed on auction. Yet, on the other hand, they were depressed… depressed by the fact that they simply could not hope to afford such a valuable item.

It wasn’t because of the fact that the money everyone brought wasn’t enough, but rather, even if they had brought along their entire wealth, they still wouldn’t be able to afford it.

The guild leaders of the various large guilds weren’t as generous as Feng Yun Realm either, the money that they had on them were the guild’s funds.

These guild funds were naturally meant for purchasing the City Lord Seal that could raise the overall strength of the guild itself. For an item like the Dragon Egg that could only boost one’s own strength, these guild leaders could only use their own personal wealth to bid for it.

At this moment, Old Nine announced in an exaggerated manner, “As everyone can see, this is a Dragon Egg… and it is a top-ranked Black Dragon’s Egg… As for how rare a pet is, I believe there’s no need for me to even explain it to you all. Being able to bring a Black Dragon along with you when you go out… the amount of face that one would have would be hard for me to even imagine… Black Dragon Pet Egg, with a minimum bid of 100,000 gold, every increment must be no less than a thousand gold! There’s no limit to each increment! The auction, shall now begin!!!!”

“Hua…”

The auction house was once again in an uproar.

Seeing the emotions of the entire auction hall being played in the palms of Old Nine, the people from Quan Zhen Sect couldn’t help but snigger, “Tsk, tsk, he sure knows how to play with people…”

The moment Old Nine started the auction, Ming Du immediately raised his board, “101,000 gold!”

“150,000 gold!” Shortly after Ming Du raised his board, a bald middle-aged man sitting on the other side of Quan Zhen Sect raised his board.

This bald burly chap, seated in the first row as well, clearly was a wealthy individual that had a keen interest for rare items.

“151,000 gold!”

Before the burly man’s board could even drop, Spring Halo had casually raised his board as well.

“Heng! Poor beggar!”

Seeing how shameless people from Quan Zhen Sect were, Feng Yun Realm only smirked in disdain. He directly raised his board, “200,000 gold.”

The bald-headed man looked around, trying to identify who was it that had called the bid. Just when he was to raise his board to raise his bid, Feng Yun Realm immediately stood up and shouted at the baldie, “Wu Ke, even you dare to fight with this daddy here?”

When the bald middle-aged man heard this, he was momentarily stunned. Shortly after, he shrivelled back into his seat and put down his board.

Seeing his most powerful competitor giving up, with one foot on his chair and another on the table, Feng Yun Realm raised an eyebrow and looked over to Wang Yu’s group while rubbing his chin.

“Heng!” Fearless merely coldly snorted, before calmly raising his board, “201,000 gold.”

“Yi… Ha ha ha…”

Upon seeing such a scene, all of the players in the auction house couldn’t help but break out in laughter.

From the initial few bids, it wasn’t hard for everyone to realise that Quan Zhen Sect and Feng Yun Realm were at odds with each other.

From a rarity and value standpoint, 200,000 gold was definitely a worthy price to pay for the Dragon Egg. However, when everyone else was raising their bids in tens of thousands of gold, the people from Quan Zhen Sect were calmly raising their bid a thousand by a thousand. This was clearly meant to toy with Feng Yun Realm.

Feng Yun Realm wasn’t a fool himself, he naturally knew that the people from Quan Zhen Sect were playing him too.

Seeing the opponent that had been previously “scared” till they couldn’t make a sound suddenly appearing once again to impede his glory, coupled along with the audience’s sarcastic laughter, Feng Yun Realm was instantly infuriated.

While raising his board, he shouted, “300,000 gold!”

“Sshh…”

Upon hearing Feng Yun Realm’s price, the players that were spectating the “show” were immediately shocked to the point whereby their mouths were left in the shape of an “O”.
