Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 95 Chapter94-The Deep-Pocketed Travelers

This widely anticipated auction.

After numerous twists and turns.

The main event was finally here.

Isabella, splendidly dressed, shone like a blooming peony under the lights.

Her smile was radiant as she said in a soft voice, "I'm sure all of you have been waiting for a long time and might be growing impatient. But as the saying goes, the best wine is saved for last, only a grand finale can highlight its significance."

"Now, the moment has arrived. From this point forward, it's up to your abilities..."

Isabella's words, full of passion and generosity, instantly stirred up the vibe at the venue.

Players, who had already been itching to bid, began to clamor.

"Miss Isabella, please announce the starting price."

"I can't wait anymore, the money in my pocket is ready for this moment."

"Finally, it's the turn for these two pieces of equipment, my butt has gone numb from sitting."

"Start the auction quickly!"

...

Isabella's subtle gaze swept over the private boxes on the second floor.

Compared to the overly excited players in the grand hall on the first floor.

These guild leaders of major guilds.

Appeared much calmer.

But by looking at their burning eyes, it was clear that even these guild leaders were far from tranquil.

"Finally, it's starting. The only two Legendary equipment in the entire server..."

Emma was munching on an unknown fruit, her face full of anticipation.

She turned to John, who was resting on the couch with his eyes closed, and asked curiously, "Johnny, what do you think these two pieces of equipment will go for?"

John didn't even bother to open his eyes as he replied indifferently, "That depends on how much funds these guys on the second floor have prepared."

White Feather, standing beside them, chuckled and interjected, "Mr. Galewind, aren't you interested in bidding?"

John cracked a faint smile, "These two pieces of equipment were put up by me. Do you think I would be interested?"

White Feather froze on the spot.

The fruit she had just picked up dropped to the floor.

She had been surprised many times today.

But she didn't expect to hear even more shocking news at this moment.

All she could say was, big shots truly lived up to their name.

These were the only two pieces of Legendary equipment on the entire server, and he was willing to put them up for auction.

White Feather was secretly impressed.

At the same time, she was even more determined to maintain a close relationship with Emma.

As long as her friendship with Emma was solid.

She could latch onto Mr. Galewind's coattails.

Fame and fortune were within reach.

Thinking this, White Feather even started to chuckle foolishly on the spot.

John gave her a strange look, wondering what she was thinking to display such an expression.

Emma was also puzzled.

She nudged White Feather, "Why are you giggling like that? You look so goofy."

White Feather snapped out of her daze and her face instantly flushed with embarrassment.

Meanwhile, up on the stage,

After sufficiently whetting the appetite of the crowd, Isabella finally announced, "Medusa's Tears, starting bid of 10 million, with each increase not less than 2 million."

There was a resounding "Boom" as the crowd erupted in disbelief.

"What? A starting bid of 10 million? And each increase is not less than 2 million? Is this equipment made of gold?"

"Don't kid us, gold isn't that expensive."

"A bunch of losers, if you can't afford it then don't waste time here. This is the only pair of Legendary equipment in the entire server, it's worth any price."

"Exactly, my bid is 12 million!"

"14 million!"

"Make it quick, straight to 20 million!"

...

The hefty starting price immediately deterred most of the players in the room.

But the well-heeled bidders became even more excited.

The world is full of rich people after all.

They are also willing to spend exorbitant prices to purchase some items that are incomprehensible to ordinary people.

To put it bluntly, no matter how precious "Medusa's Tears" and "Serpent King's Blade" are,

They're ultimately just virtual items in a game. contemporary romance

It's hard to understand why some people are so fanatical about them.

One could only say, money can't buy happiness...

Soon, Medusa's Tears had already reached a price of over 20 million and was still soaring.

Some small and medium guilds on the first floor started trying to cooperate with other players to secure this top-notch equipment.

"Bro, I'm Thunder, the guild leader of Thunder Guild. Are you interested in collaborating?"

"Hi Thunder, I'm MouWind, the guild leader of Mountain Guild. How would you like to cooperate?"

"You see, our guild's finances aren't enough to bid for Medusa's Tears on our own. I guess your guild can't afford it either. Why don't we join forces and bid together, so we can compete with those top guilds on the second floor."

MouWind's eyes lit up, but he quickly thought of a crucial question: "I'm okay with cooperation, but how do we split the equipment after we win the bid?"

"That's easy. We'll set up a joint account, you use it for one week, I use it for the next week."

...

Such cooperative proposals were popping up among the players on the first floor.

The price of "Medusa's Tears" continued to skyrocket.

Soon, it reached an astonishing 30 million.

By this price, the bidding calls in the room had greatly decreased.

Then, the long-observing top guild leaders on the second floor finally made their move.

Chillminder, the guild leader of Silent Ones Guild, who had been itching to bid for a while, spoke first: "35 million!"

The players on the first floor gasped in unison.

True to their reputation as one of the top 10 guilds worldwide, they were truly big spenders.

With his first bid, he added a whopping 5 million.

No sooner had Chillminder's words fell than Karthus, the guild leader of Shadowrealm Guild, followed up: "40 million!"

After Karthus, Blue Sea and Adam shared a tacit glance, and both gave their bid: "45 million."

Then, the leader of the Travelers, Bambooist, added a staggering 10 million on top of that: "55 million!"

The bigwigs in the private rooms on the second floor all frowned.

This price was close to their expectations.

Snowla even couldn't help but swear, "Bloody hell, Bambooist, who the hell bids like that? Adding 10 million at a time, are we supposed to play this game or what?"

Bambooist snickered, coolly retorted, "Little girl, if you can't afford it, get out of the game. This is how I roll. What are you going to do about it...?"

Snowla ground her teeth in frustration, but she was powerless against Bambooist.

The other guild leaders also seemed at their wits' end.

Although they were financially robust, they were no match for the Travelers.

After all, the Travelers were notoriously wealthy.

They were major players in the in-game business world.

Rumor has it that they were backed by several globally renowned corporations in the real world.

To them, money was truly just a number.

Blue Sea quietly sent a message to Adam: This can't go on. There's no way we can compete with the Travelers when it comes to money.

Adam replied immediately: Yeah, the Travelers are businessmen after all, their liquid assets must be way more than ours.

Blue Sea pondered for a moment and said: Let's wait and see for a bit longer, if it comes to it, we may have to back out...

Despite their reluctance, they had to consider the overall development of the guild.

If they used too much of their liquid assets in one go,

Even if they managed to get these top-notch equipment,

The development of the guild would be greatly affected afterward.

Karthus gritted his teeth and decided to give it another shot, "60 million. That's the highest I can go. I hope the Travelers will give me a break."

Bambooist smirked coldly, not backing down at all: "65 million!"

Karthus's face instantly turned gloomy.

He glared at Bambooist, his eyes full of menace.

But Bambooist remained unmoved, quietly watching the stage.

Isabella waited for a moment, seeing no one else was raising their bid, she banged the gavel down hard, "65 million once, 65 million twice, 65 million three times, sold!"

"Congratulations to the Travelers on successfully bidding for the Legendary necklace, Medusa's Tears."

The players in the hall were all stunned.

Emma and White Feather were too shocked to speak.

Even John raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He wasn't shocked by the price of 65 million.

After all, the Legendary item "Ancient Parchment" they had previously found sold for a staggering 40 million.

That was a one-time item and no one knew if it could really lead to The Devil's Treasure.

If someone was willing to pay for that, let alone this Legendary equipment with clearly displayed top-tier stats.

What truly surprised John was Bambooist's impressive wealth.

Thinking back to their past collaborations in other games, this gorgeous woman always seemed quite moderate, never hinting at her riches.

But when he thought about the fame of the Travelers, John nodded in understanding.

For a merchants' association of this magnitude, there was no surprise in the amount of money they were willing to put forth.

Hearing Isabella confirm the transaction, Bambooist let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Truth be told, if the bidding had continued to rise, she would've been under a lot of pressure.

Bambooist might be the guild leader, but the Travelers weren't hers alone to control, with multiple complex forces operating behind the scenes.

"Guild leader, should we notify your father?"

One of Bambooist's black-robed subordinates whispered from behind her.

Bambooist shook her head: "No need for now. I can manage this amount. Besides, you should understand the significance of owning one of the two unique Legendary pieces of equipment. If we Travelers want to monopolize the business in the Godslayer game, we must have some ace up our sleeve."

Her subordinate nodded in agreement, saying no more.

Their guild leader had always been known for her sharp business sense.

If she said it was fine, then there should be no issues.
