The Auction 1

"What good will it do to know? I still have to drill the holes obediently," Wang Qianduo said helplessly to himself, looking at what he had deduced.

That's life sometimes like this, but luckily he has most of the materials, and even if he doesn't, he can buy them with money.

This is how easy it is to live a life of extraordinary success!

Once all the materials were gathered, the Phoenix Blood Heart wasn't too difficult to obtain. I took one of the few unnecessary pieces from the Arcane Set and also punched a hole in the Fiery Golden Eyes.

The second Kong Wang Qianduo did not dare to try; his equipment was too precious to afford even the slightest mistake.

He had originally intended to drill a hole in the Minghong Blade, but then he thought better of it, since the equipment probably wouldn't last him much longer.

After embedding the Windwalking Power into the Phoenix Blood Heart engine, Wang Qianduo went to the Training Ground to practice for a while before logging off.

The next day

Eight coughs

In a corner of the trading district of the Homeworld Base, a large number of Player were gathered around a stall, which was where Wang Qianduo was going to sell the Corrosion Spear.

But even before Wang Qianduo arrived, the place was already completely surrounded.

"What's going on? Can you even afford it? Why are you blocking the road here?"

"Where did this group of people come from, and why are they blocking this place?"

"Looks like someone's jealous. This is going to be interesting."

"Who did this? It's rather stingy!"

The Player recognized none of the people gathered at the innermost part of the group; they knew the big shots were just like them, waiting to watch the show, and that's what had happened.

Someone disliked that Thousand King and sent people to cause trouble!

Their method was simple and effective: you want to auction things here? Then I'll send people to surround this area.

Whether you can't get in or you have to change seats, you'll be the one who loses face. This is purely a tactic designed to annoy people.

Among the crowd watching the spectacle from afar, Zhang Yuan, the Manager Zhang of the Shanhai Gaming Club, smiled slightly as he observed the Player discussing the battlefield.

What's this? It's just an appetizer. That guy dared to offend him, so he'll definitely beat him to death with one blow.

"What do you think the Thousand King will do? He can't even get into the booth!"

"Just change the shooting location, then you won't have to worry about selling the equipment."

"Not necessarily. I heard the big shots are planning a joint boycott."

"Really? That bad?"

"Of course it's true! The son of my great-uncle's cousin's classmate's childhood friend is an officer in the Galaxy Guild. There's no mistake!"

"So here's the question: what did you call that person?"

As people discussed the matter, the time set by Wang Qianduo drew ever closer.

Just when people thought he was completely out of options and were about to change positions, a group of NPC soldiers rushed over, scattered the Player, and cleared a path.

But instead of breaking up the people surrounding the stall at the innermost part, they completely surrounded them.

While the Player were stunned and the surrounded Player were in a panic...

Wang Qianduo, dressed in a dark green military trench coat befitting a lieutenant in the Alliance Starfleet in the game, with pure white gloves on his hands and black knee-high boots on his feet, slowly walked out of the path cleared by the soldiers.

He arrived at the stall surrounded by NPC soldiers, and all the NPCs saluted him in unison, their movements exceptionally synchronized.

After returning the greeting and gesturing for them to put down, Wang Qianduo looked at the Player surrounded by NPC soldiers and said, "Are you going to get out of here yourselves, or should I help you?"

"You..."

"We're here to buy things, how can you talk to us like that?"

"Yeah, who do you think you are? You think you can just tell us to get lost?"

After realizing what was happening, this group of people not only didn't panic, but became even more arrogant, and their insults became increasingly offensive.

"You all saw them cursing at me, right? How long can I be locked up like this?" Wang Qianduo asked the NPC soldier beside him after seeing everyone inside cursing at him.

"Two hours!"

"Then let's get started!"

"Yes, arrest him!"

At the command of the NPC soldier, the surrounding NPC soldiers rushed towards the Player who were gathered around the stall.

Then these NPCs were quite sensible; they deliberately slowed down their movements, giving them a chance to escape.

A few fools, for some reason, actually tried to escape, breaking free from the NPCs' restraints and running off in all directions.

The experts watching shook their heads after witnessing this scene; these people were truly courting death.

They used to be released after two hours, but now they don't know how long they'll be locked up.

One of them, seemingly unable to accept his fate, didn't run away but instead rushed towards Wang Qianduo.

He was the leader of this group, and he knew that Manager Zhang's plan had failed from the very first step, but he still wanted to try.

Even if they were to tackle Wang Qianduo to the ground, they could still make him lose face. Only by making him lose face could their plan have a chance to move on to the next step.

Bang!

Just as he resolutely charged towards Wang Qianduo, a gunshot rang out, and he was knocked to the ground by the immense power of the Desert Eagle bullet.

He hadn't forgotten that Wang Qianduo had just led the charge in cursing him; now that he was being given this opportunity, how could he let it slip by?

As for the trouble that might result from killing someone, perhaps it would be if he didn't charge at you with a menacing look on his face.

Moreover, Wang Qianduo didn't kill anyone; he only broke the other person's leg.

This is in the game; killing him will only cause him to lose some Reputation after resurrection, which is far less severe than the punishment for not killing him.

"Take him down for treatment. How long can it take to heal him at the 'fastest' time?"

While casually pulling out a tissue to wipe the blood splattered on the Desert Eagle, Wang Qianduo asked the NPC beside him expressionlessly.

As long as I keep a blank expression, you can't tell what I'm thinking. Wang Qianduo's acting skills have reached the level of a "young heartthrob".

"Such injuries would require at least half a month of hospitalization, right?" The NPC immediately understood and gave Wang Qianduo the latest possible time.

Despite having a broken leg, given the circumstances, he could be jumping around again in a day.

"Good! Treat him well, and make sure he doesn't commit suicide!" Wang Qianduo smiled and said, looking at the man lying on the ground.

He hadn't expected to be trapped for so long; this was truly an unexpected surprise.

Then, without seeing them slowly move towards their stall, everyone around who had clearly witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spines.

The person who instigated the trouble is finished; he's basically useless after 15 days, and he probably won't have a chance to catch up later.

The NPCs that Wang Qianduo brought were borrowed from the Quartermaster Ma Hua Teng.

After learning about the situation, Wang Qianduo went to find the other party, who readily lent the money to someone else.

Wang Qianduo was able to borrow someone because of the thing he gave him yesterday.

It was a gold coin with a "Q" printed on it, one of the Perfect special items he bought in the random shop, which was a collectible.

This item is quite valuable, and it instantly elevates the goodwill between him and the other party to a relatively high level.

Wang Qianduo could only say, "As expected of you, you really love these 'Q' coins!"

"Please excuse this little incident; let's put it behind us and move on to the main topic."

In order for everyone who comes to see this, I specially borrowed this Projection Device. Please look at the virtual projection behind me!

After placing the blueprints on his stall, Wang Qianduo addressed the crowd of onlookers.

Then, a huge projection of his virtual store appeared in the sky behind him.

Moreover, this thing can be operated just like Normal virtual store, and its scope covers almost the entire market.

The merchants Player were ecstatic when they saw this; it was something they had always dreamed of!

With this, wouldn't they be able to hold large-scale auctions?

Currently, it is very Hard for auction houses without system protection to hold auctions.

Their current auctions involve inviting a few people to bid, and then exchanging money for goods on the spot.

However, this model offers no guarantee in the game; without someone they know acting as guarantor, they wouldn't dare hold such a small auction.

Because there will always be people who bid on items but then don't want them anymore, or they don't have enough money, leaving them with nothing but wasted time.

But with this thing, things are different; money and goods are settled on the spot with no risk whatsoever.

Just as these businessmen were figuring out how to contact Wang Qianduo to inquire about the Projection Device, the price of the Corrosion Spear Blueprint was also soaring.

Wang Qianduo put this item up for only a few seconds and it broke the million mark, heading towards the tens of millions. However, Wang Qianduo thought that this equipment was only worth around ten million, and there was no limit to how high it could go.
