A Sum of Money That Changes Destiny

These comments weren't scary.

What was scary was that this wasn't just talk.

The foot traffic on Youkeshin Avenue, where Youkeshin Auction House was located, had skyrocketed!

Hovercars filled the skies.

Every hotel room within a hundred-meter radius had been booked solid. Players even broke into private residences and forcibly rented them.

Groups of people carried tools onto the rooftops of nearby buildings and pitched tents.

The unluckiest NPCs were driven out of their homes without even receiving payment, leaving them no choice but to seek help from the Public Security Bureau.

Once the Public Security Bureau officers arrived, bursts of gunfire began erupting in the streets from time to time.

The prices of guns and bombs that could be activated in the city soared all the way up!

Without a doubt, an enormous number of players were genuinely preparing to rob the auction house!

They did not even intend to wait for the auction to officially begin—once they confirmed that the storage card containing the log had arrived at the auction house, they would strike immediately!

Youkeshin Auction House treated the situation as a dire threat. Not only did it mobilize all of its security forces, it also urgently posted bounty missions and temporarily recruited mercenaries to help guard the auction house.

Among the mercenaries who accepted the mission, player mercenaries outnumbered NPC mercenaries by an entire order of magnitude.

But whether these players were there to help maintain order and ensure the auction proceeded smoothly, or to gather firsthand information and scout the place for a robbery, was truly hard to say...

Across countless game chat groups, people were discussing how to rob the auction in full view of everyone and still escape unharmed.
