Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 316 Brick Moving_1


Given that the above items were auctioned off at high prices, how much more would the Revenge Shadow Rider's titanium alloy knife fetch? The preciousness it carries is far beyond a common weapon. It embodies countless Shadow Riders' faith. Many have acknowledged this view and it seems society also quietly accepts the part of people who nearly obsessively worship the Shadow Rider, with external opposition diminishing. Instead, people are trying to understand the Shadow Rider but still find him an enigma the more they learn.

The Shadow Rider, an entity simple yet complicated. He doesn't speak much but often astonishes with his remarks. Faced with any person or situation, he remains unfazed. Although his temperament is somewhat eccentric and capricious, it's part of what makes the Revenge Shadow Rider endearing and why people are fond of him. Because he is not hypocritical, people trust him to come to the auction house.

The complexity of his existence lies there too, stemming from his combat skills. In each battle, he pulls off miracles like a magician. Despite the impossible, people have gotten accustomed to such miracles from Shadow Rider.

The intensity pinned on such an extraordinary character is interesting in itself. Maybe even if his weapon has no true value, the auction might fetch an exorbitant price. However, Yu Xin must use all her strength to promote regardless. When she called out her minimum bid, there was a few seconds of silence.

"1 G coin.", she shouted, but nobody raised the bid. The worst scenario seemed to happen. The starting price of one G coin for the Revenge Shadow Rider's titanium alloy knife had shocked everyone. Yu Xin expected it, but she panicked when she called it out for the second time. If this weapon didn't sell for 8000 Federal Coins, she wouldn't even cover her promotional costs.

Yu Xin repeated, "1 G coin for the second time, any raises?"

"10 G coins, I bid 10 G-- no, 10 Federal Coins." An excited gamer shouted, clearly confused between currencies due to his excitement. Despite the ten thousand folds increase from 1 G coin, people didn't consider it abrupt. When it came to Shadow Rider, they believed it's worth every penny.

People's eyes collectively fell on the one who called out the bid. Some envied, some resented, some remained silent with a profound smile, some rejoiced, but no powerful players made a move yet. A second player raised the price to 100 Federal Coins, ten times the base of 10 Federal Coins.

"150 Federal Coins."

"200 Federal Coins."

"I bid 300."

Hearing prices slowly rising, Yu Xin felt overwhelmed, her heart filled with tufts of alpacas stampeding…

Not long after, the price finally sticks at 800 Federal Coins. Not to mention 8000, this price couldn't even cover early promotion costs. 800 Federal Coins meant that the auction house could only take a 10% cut, after deducting service charges and other related costs, the actual revenue was only 7%. Yu Xin nearly wanted to call the police. Were these people hired by the top ten guilds?

Staff at the auction house who were constantly observing from the dark could sense the tension in Yu Xin. Although she was trying her best to remain calm, her pale face was a giveaway.

"800 Federal Coins for the second time, any offers? The Revenge Shadow Rider's titanium alloy knife 800 Federal Coins for the second time."

The heads of the top ten guilds exchanged glances. A deep voice abruptly spoke, "The bid is 1000." This came from regular auction seats, not a VIP room or guest room, just a regular attendee.

The voice sounded like sweet music in Yu Xin's ears, she wanted to cheer, but she was a lady. She could only show gratitude silently towards the anonymous bidder who didn't reveal his identity.

Another voice spoke, doubling the price to "3000 Federal Coins." The voice was calmer, like commenting on an insignificant event. If one pays closer attention, they would realize the voice was from the VIP area. It was Farrell Al Kharf from the Warfire Legion, a big player has finally decided to make a move.

Yu Xin was relieved to hear the bid, does he mean to buy the knife directly? The significant raise might pretty much scare off most bidders. But no sooner than that, the price was surpassed by the Sinful Hall, "5000 Federal Coins."

My god, 5000 Federal Coins! As Yu Xin looked at the Sinful Hall, she knew she's saved. The Warfire Legion and the Sinful Hall had always been the rival forces in Galactic Warfare. If they were bidding against each other, the price would probably escalate rapidly.

Even though they can benefit from conflicts, the two guilds were by no means fools, and they knew it was not the time to act on emotions. Luckily, there was the Goddess Alliance as the peacemaker. They upped the bid to 8000 from 5000. Neither the Warfire Legion nor others continued to bid. Their leaders looked at each other and looked away.

Hearing this, Yu Xin finally relaxed. Even if she didn't, she had to. Apart from returning the capital, she had achieved promotional effects for the auction house. Yu Xin clenched her fists. After all, as the beautiful and numerous Goddess Alliance, there weren't many guilds who wouldn't give her face.
