"The items being auctioned this afternoon are the Caster Class cloth armor crafted by the Master. The Master's creations are truly powerful; people are going crazy for them, hahaha. Including the Equipment auctioned this morning, we now have a total of 2.7 million gold coins!"
Finn spoke with great animation. Six months ago, he never would have imagined that a plague, which nearly killed him, would be survived thanks to the Master saving his life. Now, he truly felt that great fortune followed great disaster. Even wealthy patrons spoke to him with a smile now.
"Mhm, well done, hahaha!" Sun Busong said, laughing happily from his seat of honor.
Time quickly passed to the final auction segment of the day, featuring weapons and Equipment. The host was still the Goblin named Rank.
"Hahaha, it's time for the most exciting moment! We will now auction off Epic grade Equipment and weapons. Everyone, be sure to seize this opportunity. Obtaining just one piece of Epic grade Equipment or a weapon means your rise to prominence and that of your family is just around the corner. Now, please welcome the first item to the stage!"
Soon, the attributes of the first piece of Equipment appeared before everyone's eyes.
Insight Robe (Purple Epic):
Item Level 67
Chest Cloth Armor
84 Armor
+25 Intelligence
+15 Spirit
Durability 100 / 100
Requires Level 42
Equip: Increases Spell Power by 31.
Use: Reduces the Mana cost of your next spell cast within 10 seconds by up to 500 points. (15-minute cooldown)
The crowd below became restless upon seeing the attributes of this Equipment. Setting aside its appearance and style, just the final effect alone was enough to sell this Equipment for tens of thousands of gold coins!
Five hundred points of Mana cost reduction was significant. Even a Level 60 Caster Class using their strongest skill wouldn't consume more than five hundred Mana. This was equivalent to an extra ultimate move. Imagine two players of the same level with similar Mana pools. Just as their Health and Mana were nearly depleted, one of them, out of Mana, could suddenly cast their strongest spell again out of thin air!
"This piece of Equipment was obtained through great hardship from a secret realm. I believe everyone understands its advantages. The starting bid is 100,000 gold coins. Each bid must be no less than 1,000 gold coins. Now, please present your offers!"
"110,000!"
"I bid 150,000!"
"155,000 gold coins!"
"200,000!"
The previously noisy Auction House instantly fell silent because the bidder had offered such a high price that others couldn't keep up.
"200,000 for the first time!"
"200,000 for the second time!"
"Are there any higher bids?"
"Good! 200,000 for the third time! Sold! Congratulations to this generous guest for acquiring the first Epic grade Equipment of this auction!"
Sun Busong watched the curtain of the opposite VIP box from the second floor and smiled meaningfully.
Seeing his Master's smile, Finn immediately approached Sun Busong. "Master, the person opposite has already bid on many pieces of Equipment and weapons. Most of the blue excellent grade Caster Class Equipment you crafted was bought by him. However, no one knows his background yet."
"Oh? You haven't seen what they look like?" Sun Busong was very curious.
"No. Everyone who came this time was masked. I only know they have a large ship."
"Mhm, since they are our customers, try to learn more about them and see if you can establish a direct connection. That way, we won't have to pay auction house fees anymore."
"Yes, Master, I will definitely follow up." Finn poured Sun Busong a glass of wine and then stepped back.
Jiaowa also coveted that Epic grade Equipment, her eyes unable to leave it.
Seeing the reluctant look in her eyes, Sun Busong formed a plan.
"I can't believe our first auction item was sold in just one minute. The generosity of this guest on the second floor is something I've never witnessed in my life. Alright, enough talk, please view the attributes of the second Epic grade Equipment!"
Treant's Bracers (Purple Epic):
Item Level 65
Wrist Cloth Armor
35 Armor
+11 Intelligence
+12 Spirit
+6 Stamina
Durability 100 / 100
Requires Level 40
Equip: Increases Spell Power by 26.
The magical projection on the display showed the style and attributes of these bracers.
"These Epic grade bracers only require Level 40! +11 Intelligence and +26 Spell Power, that's a direct 48 points of magic damage! Plus 12 Spirit and 60 Health. The starting bid is 100,000! The auction begins now!"
Another fierce competition ensued, and finally, these Epic grade Caster Class bracers were acquired by a Level 42 elite Mage for 168,000.
The auction of Epic-grade Equipment was the most competitive. Everyone dreamed of obtaining an Epic-grade Equipment in their lifetime. This was not only a personal honor but also an honor for their family, as Epic-grade items would not be easily damaged and could be passed down as heirlooms.
Next, several more Magic-grade Equipment appeared. The atmosphere in the auction hall remained high, and all the Equipment was sold at extremely high prices.
Epic-grade Equipment was already rare, especially Magic-grade Equipment, so their prices would not be low. The items that appeared in the Auction Hall next had even more terrifying prices because, from this point on, only Epic-grade Weapons would be auctioned!
Jordan Staff (Purple Epic):
Item Level 70
Two-handed Staff
119 - 180 Damage Speed 3.70
(40.4 Damage Per Second)
+17 Intelligence
+17 Spirit
Durability 120 / 120
Requires Level 35
Equip: Increases Spell Power by 26.
Equip: Increases Hit Rating by 16.
This staff was directly bought for 2.8 million gold coins! Sun Busong's eyes turned red; he had only earned 2.7 million from selling so much Equipment.
Blazing Axe (Purple Epic):
Item Level 70
Two-handed Axe
93 - 141 Damage Speed 2.90
(40.3 Damage Per Second)
+14 Stamina
Durability 120 / 120
Requires Level 35
Equip: Increases Attack Power by 28.
On Hit: May launch a fireball at the target, dealing 155 to 197 Flame damage and an additional 24 damage over 6 seconds.
The transaction price was 820,000. After all, the Magic-grade players were generally wealthier. Although there were more Physical-grade Professionals, they didn't have much money.
Dazzle (Purple Epic):
Item Level 71
One-handed Sword
37 - 70 Damage Speed 1.70
(31.5 Damage Per Second)
Durability 115 / 115
Requires Level 36
Equip: Increases Attack Power by 35.
On Hit: May reduce the target's Armor by 100 for 30 seconds. While the effect lasts, the target cannot stealth or become invisible.
The special effect of this Weapon was targeted at Rogues, who could use Invisibility. Therefore, this one-handed sword sold for 1.33 million!
Hurricane (Purple Epic):
Item Level 73
Ranged Bow
42 - 79 Damage Speed 1.10
(37.8 Damage Per Second)
Durability 90 / 90
+21 Agility
+12 Stamina
Requires Level 48
Equip: Increases your Armor Penetration Rating by 44.
Equip: Has a chance to cast Frost Arrow on your target, dealing 31 to 45 Frost damage.
A Hunter's Epic-grade bow!
The price finally reached 1.9 million. The stats of this bow were too powerful, with an attack speed of only 1.1 seconds, and it added Agility and Stamina. Its most powerful feature was its Frost Arrow effect. Basically, any ranged Professional wielding this bow would absolutely prevent their enemies from getting close.
The auction continued until past 9 o'clock. Finally, it was time for Sun Busong's Equipment to make its appearance.
"Next, please feast your eyes on the top-tier epic weapon of the Azeroth Continent, the Level 60 Nightfall! An axe that isn't for casters, yet surpasses them! Please observe the projection."
Nightfall (Purple Epic):
Item Level 98
Two-handed Axe
287 - 382 Damage Speed 3.50
(167.0 damage per second)
+24 Stamina
Durability 120 / 120
Requires Level 60
Equip: Increases Attack Power by 35.
Chance on hit: Causes target to take 15% increased damage from spells, lasting 15 seconds.
Everyone present was stunned speechless by the axe's special effect, especially the Magic Professionals.
Simply put, anyone wielding this axe to kill a boss would absolutely have a horde of Magic Professionals begging to team up with them. Moreover, the axe's attack power was incredibly high, a whole tier above other epic weapons.
This axe was forged by Sun Busong using the Ogin ore he purchased in Ironforge last time. He forged a total of three pieces of equipment, and these three pieces completely depleted his Ogin ore.
"Now that everyone understands the special nature of this Equipment, we shall begin the auction. The starting bid is 500,000 gold coins! Bid increments must be no less than 10,000 gold coins!"
"I bid one million!"
"I bid one point one million!"
"One point three million!"
Everyone was bidding frantically, the price climbing higher and higher.
Suddenly, the curtain on the second floor moved, and a person holding a sign emerged. The sign read 3.5 million!
Silence fell over the crowd once more. This was the third moment of silence at the Auction Convention tonight.
They bid again!
The venue was silent for less than five seconds before a barrage of curses erupted from the first floor.
"Damn it, it's them again! You guys have money, we won't compete with you. But this is an axe! Which one of you casters uses an axe, let alone a two-handed axe! This is clearly a weapon for us Warrior Professionals!"
This was a Level 55 Dwarf race Elite Warrior. His eyes were bloodshot, and his anger caused his beard to tremble as he spoke. It was clear he felt like killing someone right now.
"Exactly! Why are you guys snatching our Warrior weapons!"
"You trash! Just because you have money! You even steal our Warrior weapons, you're truly scum!"
With one person leading the charge, others joined in the insults, turning the auction hall into a den of abuse.
However, this situation was quickly suppressed. The wealthy magnate Rivegaz had hired 6 Level 60 Elite Goblin guards from elsewhere for this auction!
The individuals hurling insults were first warned. Many quickly fell silent, their anger spent, their fury extinguished, and they ceased speaking. As for the few who had apparently lost all reason due to their rage, their ultimate fate was to be apprehended by the Goblin guards and thrown into Treasure Bay's prison.
"3.5 million, first call!"
"3.5 million, second call!"
"3.5 million, third call! Sold! Our great benefactor has once again acquired a Level 60 epic weapon in the most dominant fashion! Let us give them a warm round of applause to congratulate them!"
No one responded to the Goblin auctioneer's words this time, and the Goblin auctioneer didn't even bother asking if anyone would bid higher!
Before turning back into the private room, the person holding the sign on the second floor said to the guests on the first floor, "Money truly allows one to do as they please!"
Sun Busong burst into laughter, drawing angry glares from the people on the first floor. He couldn't help himself and awkwardly waved at the crowd below before falling silent.
"Next, I will present another Level 60 epic weapon, the Prophet's Blade! Please observe the projection!"
Prophet's Blade (Purple Epic):
Item Level 94
Main-hand Sword
49 - 100 Damage Speed 1.80
(41.4 damage per second)
+14 Stamina
+26 Intelligence
Durability 115 / 115
Requires Level 60
Equip: Increases Critical Strike Rating by 13.
Equip: Increases Spell Power by 20.
Equip: Increases your Spell Penetration by 10.
A caster's one-handed sword!
But this time, everyone fell silent, and no one bid. Why? Because no matter how much everyone wanted to get this piece of Equipment, the final buyer would definitely be one of those rich thugs on the second floor!
Sun Busong stopped smiling. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
"This Magic one-handed sword has a starting bid of one million! Please make your bids now!"
There wasn't a sound in the Auction Hall. Everyone was waiting for the first person to bid, but they waited for a full minute, and still, no one bid. Even the Goblin host, Rank, was getting anxious.
Just then, there was movement again from the private room on the second floor.
It was the same person, the same paddle, three and a half million!
Sun Busong finally let out the breath he had been holding, and the people in the Auction Hall also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, it almost didn't sell!" Finn swore directly. He had been more nervous than anyone just now. This was the first time he had handled the auction of Equipment for his master. If he messed this up, how could he ever get into his master's good graces again?
"Next up for auction is the last Epic-grade Weapon of the day. It's called the Ogin Warrior Sword!"
Ogin Warrior Sword (Purple Epic):
Item Level 99
Two-handed Sword
229 - 394 Damage Speed 3.00
(153.8 Damage Per Second)
Durability 120 / 120
+30 Stamina
Requires Level 60
Equip: Increases Critical Strike Rating by 16.
Equip: Increases Attack Power by 35.
On Hit Chance: Restore 270 to 450 Health to self, and increase Strength by 120, lasting 30 seconds.
This sword was even stronger than the axe from earlier. This was likely the most powerful Epic-grade Weapon they had ever seen!
"Last Weapon! Please bid!"
"Two million!"
"Three million! I bid three million!"
"Damn it, you think three and a half million will get you this weapon? I bid three million six hundred thousand!"
"You're really something else. The guy from the second floor bid three and a half million for the axe earlier, why didn't you bid then? Now I bid three and a half million and you come to compete! What! Do you look down on me?"
"Then why didn't you bid three and a half million for that axe? Don't think I'm stupid! Just the last effect of this sword alone is worth three and a half million!"
