A ten-million-coin auction fund!
Those words had a strange kind of magic. Even though Yun Tu had only said them in passing, they were enough to move everyone. After all, in the subterranean world, that figure was already an astronomical sum to the vast majority of people—a height they couldn't hope to reach in ten lifetimes.
Even if someone lived in extravagant luxury, indulging in pleasure day and night, they couldn't possibly blow through ten million silver coins in a single lifetime.
Only a super-spendthrift could manage that. Under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible to squander the terrifying sum of ten million in the subterranean world.
Ten million was enough to make countless major factions fight tooth and nail.
Everyone knew that even a top-tier adventurer team operating in Flower Demon Clan territory, like the Purple Thorn Adventurer Team, would be extremely lucky to receive a Seven-star mission. Such opportunities were rare. This time, their mission to escort Yun Tu had only been seven-star, yet the entire team had been wiped out.
And the reward for a Seven-star mission was only a hundred thousand silver coins, though Yun Tu had promised an additional reward afterward. But how much could that be? It couldn't exceed the hundred thousand in bounty.
So what did ten million silver coins amount to? It was the equivalent of completing a hundred Seven-star missions.
As everyone knew, a Seven-star mission generally took between one and three months to complete. At an average of two months, a hundred such missions would take two hundred months.
And in reality, would that many Seven-star missions even come up? A team on the Purple Thorn Adventurer Team's level might get one or two opportunities in an entire year, at most.
For any adventurer team, taking on a Seven-star mission
