Chapter 41: A war triggered by an auction

Translator: 549690339

The auction began and someone immediately made a bid.

the Eagle Guild bids 30000 gold coins.

“The one who shouted was a female battle doctor. The moment she opened her mouth, the price immediately tripled, showing a determined attitude. ”

“tsk tsk, isn’t the Eagle Guild known as the nouveau riche Guild? they’re only bidding 30000 gold coins. Who are they looking down on? this is an intermediate mechanic. Our country bumpkin, the wandering Alliance, is bidding 35000 gold coins. The man in nano casual clothes looked at the female doctor provocatively. ”

“The female battle doctor’s expression was a little ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, “” “”Thirty-six thousand.”” ”

“The Eagle Guild and the wandering Alliance seemed to be in a fight. As soon as you shouted, I immediately increased the price. ”

“Immediately, the price rose and quickly reached 56000. ”

“Li xiaonian stood in the crowd and watched quietly for a while. Then, he raised his hand and shouted, the spiritual extinction Guild bids 120000 gold coins. ”

“He could not wait any longer. If he continued to wait, the four powerful factions would make their move, and the price would definitely be even more intense. He immediately called out a price of 120000 gold coins, forcing back one or two potential competitors. ”

Li xiaonian’s bid caused the entire Street to boil again.

“damn, is it that exaggerated? 120000 gold coins, that’s equivalent to 12 million Yuan. This slave is just a virtual character, not gold. If the slave doesn’t think things through and commits suicide, won’t he lose all his money?”” ”

“””The spiritual extinction Guild? Does our blood demon City have such a Guild? Why haven’t I heard of it before?”” ”

“I’ve heard of the spiritual extinction Guild. It’s a very small guild. It’s not even considered in our blood demon City, so it’s normal that I’ve never heard of it. ”

……

“The players were in an uproar. Ling baifei, who was beside li xiaonian, was also anxious. He whispered,””My top student brother, you can’t just randomly bid here. Once you are deemed to be disrupting the market, you will be blocked by all the forces in the blood demon City.”” ”

“Li xiaonian nodded and said seriously, “” I know. I don’t have an identity right now, so I can only borrow your Guild’s name. Don’t worry, I’ll pay for it myself. The reputation belongs to lingjue. ”

Blood demon City had an unspoken rule. The good stuff in the city was usually only sold by the internal forces and outsiders were not allowed to bid. Unless the item’s value was truly shocking.

“Li xiaonian had just entered the blood demon City and was only an ordinary player. Without Ling baifei’s guarantee, it would have been difficult for him to win the bid for the long ears ‘Prince. ”

“……”

“……”

Ling baifei and Cheng bingyu’s mouths were half open.

“””How did you get so rich all of a sudden?”” Ling baifei looked li xiaonian up and down, as if he had just seen him for the first time. Even for a rich kid like him, it was almost impossible to take out 120000 gold coins. ”

“Ling baifei shook his head and continued, “” “”No, this is not the time to talk about this. You spent 120000 gold coins on an NPC slave, are you crazy? The value of an intermediate mechanic is high, but your price is simply nonsense. No organization would dare to offer such a price.”” ”

Ling baifei’s words had just ended when he was slapped in the face.

“The giant dragon Academy, who had been silent all this time, couldn’t help but raise their hands and say, “” “”Dragon Academy, 130000 gold coins. ”

Li xiaonian checked the balance in his bag.

“After selling Earth Dragon No. 1 and getting 500000 gold coins, he had spent a lot of money. First, he had to pay for the villa, second, he had to borrow 13 million from ye Hongyan, second, he had to buy land and other expenses. ”

“Now, he only had 180000 gold coins left. ”

“Ling baifei was about to stop li xiaonian, but he had already extended his hand and shouted, “” spiritual extinction Guild, 135000 gold coins. ”

“The white-robed man from the giant dragon Academy frowned and looked at li xiaonian. little brother, please give our giant dragon Academy some face. This intermediate mechanic is very important to us. After he finished speaking, the white-robed man raised his hand and said, “” Dragon Academy 150000 gold coins. ”

“Although carefree’s actions were against the auction rules, he still raised the price by 15000 when the value of the slaves had reached the limit, which was a great show of respect to the auction house. ”

“Although the auctioneer was not happy, he still shouted excitedly, “” President carefree from the giant dragon Academy has bid 150000 gold coins. Is there any higher bid? “” ”

“””150 thousand going once.”” ”

“””150 thousand twice.”” ”

……

“Below the stage, li xiaonian’s expression turned a little unsightly. ”

“I was too careless. If I had known that the giant dragon Academy was so determined to win, I would have directly bid 180000 and shouted the price to death. ”

“The giant dragon Academy was the most powerful force in the blood demon City, and they had already spoken out to save face. If they continued to bid at this time, they would simply be drawing hatred to Ling baifei’s family guild. ”

“Li xiaonian was caught in a dilemma. After weighing the pros and cons, he whispered ‘sorry’ to Ling baifei and raised his hand. the Guild of spiritual extinction bids 180000 gold coins. As he spoke, li xiaonian looked at President Xiaoyao apologetically. I’m sorry, but this slave is very important to us. If President Xiaoyao’s bid exceeds 180000, we’ll withdraw immediately. ”

He had raised the price by another 30000 gold coins and explained the situation to them because he did not want to anger them.

“However, Xiaoyao’s face darkened when he heard li xiaonian’s words. He smiled faintly.””You … Are good.”” ”

“After saying that, guild leader Xiaoyao led a group of people and left the slave Street. ”

“When the auctioneer on the stage heard li xiaonian’s bid of 180000 gold coins, he became even more excited and his saliva flew everywhere.””180000 gold coins, are there any higher bids?”” ”

The crowd below the stage shook their heads and turned to leave.

“180000 gold coins for a slave, that’s crazy. ”

“I didn’t expect the spiritual extinction Guild to be a hidden Dark Horse. However, the price is a little high. It’s rare for President Xiaoyao to speak for the first time, but I didn’t expect to be slapped in the face. ”

“hehe, there’s going to be a good show in the future. The weak spirit extinction Guild has offended the giant dragon Academy. It won’t be long before they are destroyed. ”

……

Below the stage.

“Li xiaonian had successfully won the bid. Ling baifei looked at the unfamiliar li xiaonian with a bitter expression. genius Li, I’m in big trouble because of you this time. I inexplicably offended the giant dragon Academy. My dad will definitely hang me up and beat me up. ”

The various Lords under the control of blood demon City usually restrained each other and did not easily start a war. The only thing they lacked was an excuse.

“Now that the giant dragon Academy had an excuse, they would definitely not let go of this opportunity to plunder their territory. ”

As expected.

Ding …

“Announcement (blood demon City): “” giant dragon Academy has declared war on the spiritual extinction Guild. Lords from both sides, please send people to the conference hall of blood demon City to make a preliminary agreement. If no one agrees or the discussion is fruitless, the war will begin in three days. The losing side will lose its territory. ”

“Although he had expected this, Ling baifei’s mouth was still half-open when he heard such an urgent declaration of war, and his face was ashen. ”

“Li xiaonian looked at Ling baifei apologetically and sent him a private message. luomo temple of the long ears is a Prince who represents the future of the entire race. If you buy him and send him back to the long ears ‘territory, the rewards you’ll receive will definitely be beyond your imagination. So, you don’t have to worry about not being able to answer to uncle. Also, you’d better pretend that you don’t know about this, or else things will become more troublesome if others see the true value of the long-eared slaves.”” ”

“I’ll transfer 180000 gold coins to you now. Go and collect the long ears ‘slaves, and we’ll return to your family’s territory. ”

“After reading Li xiaonian’s message, Ling baifei’s ashen face instantly turned red. It was obvious that he was not used to such a fluctuating mood. ”

“After a thousand words, Ling baifei only managed to squeeze out one sentence and cursed, “” f * ck you, isn’t this just a normal auction for a slave? isn’t the giant dragon Academy too overbearing? if it’s a war, then so be it. Even if we lose our territory, I’ll still tear off a layer of skin from the giant dragon Academy. ”

It had to be said that Ling baifei’s acting was on point.

“His roar immediately attracted the sympathetic gazes of the crowd. Although they sympathized with him, there was also gloating. ”

a small guild actually dares to not give face to the giant dragon Academy. It’s no wonder they beat you up.

“””It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a territorial war. Every single one of them can be described as an epic sight. In three days, I’ll definitely go watch it.”” ”

“let’s team up to watch a war film. Does anyone want to join us? “” ”

“what’s there to see? the giant dragon Academy is so powerful, and the Guild of spiritual extinction is not qualified. It will definitely be a one-sided massacre. The Guild of spiritual extinction has already run away before the war even starts. ”

“hehe, don’t say that. Since the Guild of spiritual extinction is willing to pay 180000 gold coins for a slave, it’s obvious that they have a strong foundation. It might really be worth watching. ”

……

“While the crowd was gloating, Ling baifei walked onto the stage and paid with the 180000 gold coins that li xiaonian had just given him. ”

“””Congratulations,”” The auctioneer awkwardly said,””congratulations,”” and handed the slave contract to Ling baifei. ”

“Ling baifei glared at the other party. happy my A * s! It’s precisely because your auction method is crude that our Guild was declared war by the giant dragon Academy. Isn’t your auction house responsible at all?! Tell me, how are you going to compensate us for our losses?”” ”

“……”

The auctioneer did not expect Ling baifei to make such a move.

“There was no dispute that the auction house was indeed responsible, but it was a little too much to ask for compensation. ”

“However, under everyone’s gaze, the auctioneer did not dare to refuse the compensation in front of them. He could only brace himself and whispered, “” “”This auction is our fault. For this, we are willing to pay 1000 gold coins as compensation. What do you think?”” ”

“Hearing that the other party was only willing to compensate 1000 gold coins, Ling baifei was instantly unhappy. He shouted to the crowd below the stage, “” everyone, take a look at the Skysea auction house. Due to a loophole in the rules, our Guild was attacked by the giant dragon Academy. For such a huge loss, the Skysea auction house is only willing to compensate 1000 gold coins. ”

The players who were watching the show immediately started to make a fuss.

“you don’t say. If it wasn’t for the loophole in the auction rules, the spirit extinction Guild wouldn’t be so unlucky. ”

“d * mn, the losses that the Guild is about to suffer are at least a million gold coins. I can’t believe that the ocean Sky auction house is only willing to compensate 1000 gold coins. They’re so stingy. ”

“When the players of the spiritual extinction Guild saw their guild leader fighting for benefits, they immediately shouted in agreement, “” “”Boycott the ocean Sky auction.”” ”

“””Boycott the ocean Sky auction.”” ”

“A few players from the spiritual extinction Guild shouted, and the scene suddenly became more lively. ”

……

“The auctioneer’s scalp went numb, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. ”

“If they didn’t give a satisfactory answer to this matter, the reputation of their Haitian auction house would be ruined. ”

Chapter 42: The spiritual extinction Guild

“The matter had blown up a little, and the auctioneer hurriedly contacted the headquarters to inquire about the appropriate compensation. ”

“it’s just a small guild that’s on the verge of destruction. Don’t worry about it. Of course, you have to shirk all the responsibility. ”

“The auctioneer straightened his back when he received the response from the headquarters. He said to Ling baifei, “” “”I’m sorry, but after much consideration, our Ocean Sky auction house refuses any compensation. The auction rules of the slave Street have always been like this. Your Guild has been declared war by the Dragon Academy, but it’s not our fault. Perhaps your Guild has already offended the Dragon Academy? The giant dragon Academy started a war just because they were robbed in the bidding war? That’s ridiculous.”” ”

“……”

Ling baifei’s expression froze. very well. Is this the attitude of your Haitian auction? I’ve finally experienced it. he said angrily.

“There was no point in arguing, so they could only blame their own Guild for being too weak. ”

“Ling baifei’s face was dark as he led Li xiaonian, Cheng bingyu, and the luomo temple slave into the parking lot. ”

In parking space S1688.

“There was a bullet train in the shape of a rocket. The train was very flashy. Other than its high speed, it did not have any special functions. Supersonic combat vehicles. ”

The four of them sat in the supersonic vehicle.

“Ling baifei finally could not hold it in anymore, and he complained angrily, “” “”The next time I participate in the ocean Sky auction, I’ll be a pig.”” ”

“Li xiaonian sighed. that’s how games are. It’s a place to release your humanity and vent it out. Also, I’m sorry for what happened today. I didn’t tell you in advance and used the quota for the spirit extinction Guild, which led to the giant dragon Academy declaring war on us. ”

“””It’s fine. There will always be a way to deal with it.”” ”

“Ling baifei drove the supersonic combat vehicle and entered the main road of blood demon City. After a few turns, he entered the highway and his speed suddenly rose to 468 km/H. ”

“There were many high-speed passages in blood demon City, which led to most of the territories in the blood demon City area. However, the price was not cheap. It was about the same as the high-speed road fee in the real world, so expensive that it hurt people’s hearts. ”

“If it wasn’t for the sake of safety, very few players would take the highway. ”

“Li xiaonian’s territory was cheap for two reasons. First, it was 1900 kilometers away from blood demon City. First, there were no direct high-speed roads at the moment, so they could only take part of the high-speed roads and part of the mountain roads, which were very dangerous. ”

“Li xiaonian hesitated for a moment before asking, “” little white, can you tell me about the current situation of the spirit extinction Guild? “” ”

Speaking of guilds.

“Ling baifei immediately perked up. my family’s Guild territory covers an area of 6879 square kilometers. After nearly a year of development, we’ve already built a decent-sized base. I’ll send you some data. I don’t remember a lot of the data. ”

Ling baifei immediately sent li xiaonian a copy of the Guild’s data.

Li xiaonian opened it and saw a simple data report.

[ personnel allocation ]:

200 researchers.

Logistics staff: 4008

“””Combat personnel: 3600. ”

[ firepower equipment ]:

16 sets of mecha.

100 heavy machine guns.

[ sky-shaking poisonous pomegranate cannon: 20 ]

“””Anti-air artillery defense: 14. ”

One micro surveillance radar.

[ infrastructure ]:

[ bullet production line: can produce up to 360000 bullets per day. ]

[ life potion manufacturing plant: maximum production of 2000 bottles per day. ]

[ mineral processing plant: able to extract 10 cubic meters of energy crystals and a small number of energy crystal cores per day. ]

[ power equipment: maximum power generation of 12468 kilowatts per hour. ]

……

“Li xiaonian’s mouth twitched when he saw such a shabby Guild. Star Wind “” had been in operation for more than a year. Ling baifei’s family guild might be considered good to have such data, but compared to the large forces, it was simply unsightly. Of course, he could not rule out the possibility of secret weapons. ”

“Even so, if the Earth Dragon Mining cart was still with them, with its attributes, one cart would be enough to drive the spirit extinction Guild crazy. ”

“””I’ve finished reading the data. What do you think?”” Ling baifei said proudly. It’s not bad, I guess.”” ”

“Li xiaonian touched his nose and said against his will, I’ve just started playing ‘Star Wind’ for a few days, so I don’t know much about it. However, based on my calculations, the lingjue Guild shouldn’t have made much profit yet. ”

“There were nearly 10000 people, and all of them had to be paid. The salary and treatment were almost the same as in the real world. ”

“Apart from that, the construction of each factory was not cheap. Of course, the most expensive was the territory’s purchase and tax. Every year, the tax was 10%, which was not a small amount of money. ”

“Ling baifei immediately gave up. He sighed. as expected of a top student. Just by looking at the data, you can tell that our Guild is still in a state of loss. ”

“After a pause, Ling baifei continued, “” let’s put it this way. Our family invested 1.6 billion in total. I thought that my family’s investment was crazy enough, but I didn’t expect that some financial tycoons would invest even more exaggeratedly, tens of billions, hundreds of billions, and even trillions. As far as I know, the giant dragon Academy invested more than 300 billion in total, but they didn’t even frown. ”

“””Our Guild of spirits is currently in an awkward position. We don’t have enough funds to continue investing, so we can’t develop and grow. However, after investing so much, there was no way out. He could only brace himself and continue to support himself. Sometimes, I really want to advise my dad and second uncle to just sell the Guild.”” ”

Li xiaonian was moved.

“A crazy idea suddenly popped up in his mind. Why don’t I owe the debt first, buy the spirit extinction Guild, store it all in the [ shadow ], and take it away? ”

“As soon as the thought emerged, it was immediately dispelled. ”

“This was a deal worth more than a billion, not a villa worth more than ten million. It was impossible for them to sell the Guild just because they boasted about it. ”

“Moreover, Star Wind was very mysterious. Xiaobai’s family controlled a Guild, so it was easier for them to come into contact with the mysterious area. ”

“At the thought of this, li xiaonian suggested, “” “”We’ve already persevered for so long, don’t give up so easily.”” “”By the way, who are the Guild’s current allies?”” li xiaonian asked. ”

“only three of our allies have signed the agreement: the thousand Peaks Guild, the West Garden Guild, and the Firebird Guild. ”

Three unrated guilds.

“””Have you tried to form an alliance with the ice and snow Pavilion?”” li xiaonian asked. ”

“In the entire blood demon City Region, only the ice and snow Pavilion could face the giant dragon Academy head-on. Only by relying on the ice and snow Pavilion could the lingjue Guild escape the crisis of being declared war by the giant dragon Academy. ”

“Speaking of the ice and snow Pavilion, Ling baifei immediately complained, “” who wouldn’t want to form an alliance with the ice and snow Pavilion? but those b * tches, they look so friendly on the surface, but they’re really black on the inside. The moment they opened their mouths, they asked for 40% of our Guild’s shares for free. There’s no room for negotiation. ”

“……”

“Li xiaonian really wanted to say that the other party’s conditions weren’t too much. If it were him, he would probably ask for even more. After all, as long as a Guild managed to survive, they would earn a lot of money in the later stages. ”

“Cheng bingyu, who had been silent all this while, couldn’t help but try to persuade her. “”Little white, 40% might seem like a lot, but after the Alliance, our Guild can develop steadily. We don’t have to be in fear all day long and worry about other guilds declaring war. If we lose, we’ll lose more than a billion, and we’ll have nothing.”” ”

“In order to make herself more convincing, Cheng bingyu looked at li xiaonian and said,””Genius li, your calculation ability is strong, am I right?”” ”

“””40%, very fair.”” Li xiaonian nodded honestly. ”

“Cheng bingyu didn’t expect li xiaonian to be so supportive of her. She said excitedly,””Little Bai, look, even genius li is in support of my statement.”” ”

“Ling baifei looked at li xiaonian and asked, “” “”Asking for 40% of the shares unconditionally, is that really not much?”” ”

“””Normally, there aren’t many.”” Li xiaonian hesitated for a moment before sighing,””let’s put aside the matter of giving away the Alliance shares for now.”” Little white, help me make an appointment with the person in charge of the ice and snow Pavilion. I’ll go and talk to him personally and try to get the ice and snow Pavilion to protect the lingjue Guild for half a year.”” ”

“If he wanted the ice and snow Pavilion to protect the Guild, it would be for his own benefit. ”

He had to solve his own problems.

“you have a way to get the ice and snow Pavilion to protect our Guild? “” Ling baifei looked at li xiaonian in disbelief. ”

Li xiaonian shrugged. there’s no harm in trying. I know what I’m doing.

“””Why only half a year?”” Cheng bingyu frowned. ”

“””Half a year is enough. When the time comes, you will naturally know why it only takes half a year.”” ”

“Half a year, and that was a conservative estimate. ”

“In a few months, he might have enough strength to deter all the guilds in Bloodfiend city. After all, there were still 14 days left before his No. 1 fighter, [ King Wu ], finished his transformation. At that time, he would be able to unseal [ shadow ] and return it to its original appearance. ”

“With the shadow, it was hard not to become stronger. ”
