Jiang Sui immediately took out her phone and downloaded [ Zuhaowan ]. That's right, her brilliant idea was to rent an account! Since she couldn't reach 900 stars herself, she might as well go all out and rent a 900-star account to play!
"Let me see if you have any high-ranking King of Glory."
Jiang Sui searched for a King of Glory account that met her criteria. Most high-ranking King of Glory accounts were between 100 and 300 stars. Not to mention 900-star accounts, even 500-star accounts were extremely rare.
"The highest-ranked account has 520 stars, and the rental fee is 500 yuan per hour, but I still can't get a spot with that guy."
Jiang Sui was utterly disappointed.
Just then, a popular comment in the comment section under the 520-star account caught her attention.
[ Dreaming of Becoming an Overlord Player ]: Brothers, I bet you guys want to rent a 900-star King of Glory account to participate in the battles where the Exalted Emperor reaches the top 1000 stars. Don't bother looking, the platform doesn't have accounts of that high rank.
[ Dreaming of Becoming an Overlord Player ]: However, it seems that some merchants on Jiaoyimao are auctioning off 900-star King of Glory accounts. Brothers with gold mines at home can try to see if they can win the bid.
" Jiaoyimao?"
Jiang Sui quickly downloaded the Jiaoyimao and searched for information.
Sure enough, a seller named [ Dao Dun Only Sells Top-Tier Accounts ] was publicly auctioning a 900-star King of Glory account, and the number of buyers participating in the auction was staggering, exceeding one thousand.
"The starting bid is 100,000, why don't you just rob it?"
Jiang Sui exclaimed in surprise, but then she thought about it again. Accounts with 900 stars in the King of Glory community are extremely rare, like priceless treasures. The starting price of 100,000 is not much.
"For my brother's sake, I'll disregard everything!"
Jiang Sui gritted her teeth and made up her mind to participate in the auction. Her Su Hang had recently emptied her savings, leaving her back to square one. Fortunately, her best friend Huyan Ya came to her rescue and transferred 300,000 yuan to her.
The 300,000 yuan her best friend gave her was the foundation for her bidding confidence.
At 9:00 AM sharp, the auction for the 900-star account began.
The onlookers and buyers all raised their bids.
"[ Wansuiye ] has offered 100,000!"
"[ Three-Eyed Jin Ni ] - Bid: 101,000!"
"[ Feiniu Traps Chou Ox Traps Qiuniu ] Bids 110,000!"
"[ Meng Chicken's Tail of Tears ] bids 120,000!"
"[ Exalted Emperor Is My Brother ] bids 130,000!"
"[ Imperial Emperor's Diehard Fan ] bids 150,000!"
The account price soared, quickly breaking the 200,000 mark. Many buyers with insufficient funds withdrew, and the number of comments and messages in the auction area increased.
"Holy crap, 200,000? That's ridiculous! This King of Glory account, aside from being King of Glory 11th player to break 900 stars, has nothing else to offer. It's not a Glory V10 VIP account, and it doesn't have any national standard rankings. It's not worth 200,000!"
"Too expensive. For 200,000, I could buy a full set of skins and heroes, and a King of Glory account with the best national standard in any lane."
"I bought this account to participate in the matches for Exalted Emperor to reach the top 1000 stars, but there's only a chance of getting a match. If I don't get a match, then the 200,000 yuan will be stuck in my hands."
As the account's price surpassed 250,000, more and more buyers chose to give up, and soon only two buyers remained to compete: [Wansuiye] and [Three-Eyed Jin Ni]!
"[ Wansuiye ] bids 260,000!"
"[ Three-Eyed Jin Ni ] Bids 261,000!"
"[ Wansuiye ] bids 270,000!"
"[ Three-Eyed Jin Ni ] Bids 271,000!"
"[ Wansuiye ] bids 280,000!"
"[ Three-Eyed Jin Ni ] Bids 281,000!"
"Ugh!" Jiang Sui grabbed her hair in frustration. "Is this Three-Eyed Jin Ni a shill hired by the merchant? I keep adding tens of thousands of yuan to the price, and he keeps raising the minimum price by a thousand yuan each time, always undercutting me. Isn't he deliberately trying to annoy me?"
A moment later.
"[ Wansuiye ] bids 290,000!"
Jiang Sui calmed herself down and decided to add another 10,000. At this moment, she held her breath, her palms were sweating, and she was a little nervous. After all, she only had 300,000. If the Three-Eyed Jin Ni raised the price again, she would have no choice but to give up!
After a long while.
The Three-Eyed Jin Ni didn't raise the price; her bid was the highest of all.
"The other party has finally given up." Jiang Sui breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when she thought she had won the bid, the account's price suddenly skyrocketed and doubled!
"[ Three-Eyed Jin Ni ] - Bid: 500,000!"
"Huh?" Jiang Sui was completely taken aback and dumbfounded. So the other party wasn't giving up, but was preparing a big move.
At the same time, the number of views for this account surged from tens of thousands before the auction to one hundred thousand, and it is still climbing rapidly. The barrage of comments in the auction area is so dense that it almost covers the sky!
What happened to your kidneys?
Jiang Sui looked bewildered and stared at the comments section, her eyes widening instantly.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! The Imperial Crown Team just released a nationwide announcement saying that their top player Imperial Emperor, will be aiming for the Thousand-Star Rank tonight!"
"Damn, I saw it too! It's trending over 100 million times across the internet! The Imperial Emperor God will be competing with the Exalted Emperor for the title of the first to break through the 1,000-star mark!"
"Holy crap, does that mean if I buy this account, I have a chance to be queued with Imperial Emperor a popular streamer) tonight?"
"Ugh! Damn it, damn it, damn it! Why didn't I participate in the auction? The chance to be teammates with Imperial Emperor would be worth a million!"
"Urgent! Anyone in the live chat participating in the auction? Contact me, I'm willing to pay 100,000 for your spot!"
"Damn it! I feel hopeless about buying the account, so I'm giving up on the auction. Ten thousand yuan! Ten thousand yuan! My heart is bleeding!"
Jiang Sui's brain was buzzing.
Once the Imperial Emperor makes a move, my brother Qian Xingmeng will definitely be shattered!
"I have to bid for this number!"
Jiang Sui's eyes hardened. Imperial Emperor was aiming for the Thousand Stars rank tonight, and there was a very high probability that he would be matched against his Su Hang. Therefore, she had to buy this account. If she was matched with her Su Hang, she would do her best to help him.
If you're matched with the Imperial Emperor, just AFK in the fountain and prevent Imperial Emperor from reaching the top 1000 stars!
"But the account's price has been driven up to 500,000 by the Three-Eyed Jin Ni. Even if they sold me now, I wouldn't have that much money."
Jiang Sui was like an ant on a hot pan, anxiously pacing around. The good news was that tens of thousands of buyers who rushed to the scene were turned away because they were not qualified to bid. Her only competitor was Three-Eyed Jin Ni!
The bad news is that we simply don't have the financial resources.
Just then, her best friend Huyan Ya called.
"Honey, I'm bidding on something, and it's at a crucial moment. I'll talk to you later." Jiang Sui answered the call and gave a perfunctory reply. Just as she was about to hang up, Huyan Ya's voice came from the other end.
" Sui Bao, do you have enough money?"
Jiang Sui hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
On the other end of the phone, Huyan Ya asked softly, "Is what you're bidding on very important to you?"
Jiang Sui's face was full of seriousness. "It's very, very important, more important than my life!"
"Okay, I understand."
The call was interrupted.
Jiang Sui's attention returned to the auction interface, her mind frantically searching for ways to raise money. Huabei Jiebei? But she was underage and couldn't use them. Other online lending platforms? There was a shady online lending platform called [ Tiger Loan ] that could lend money even if you were underage.
"Is giving up the only option?"
Jiang Sui watched the 60-second countdown of the bidding, feeling unwilling to give up.
The next second.
My phone suddenly beeped with a payment notification sound.
