Chapter 25 Chapter25-Crazy!Totally Crazy!
The price reached 10 million dollars, and some subtle changes occurred in the hall.
Bidders who had prepared several million looked frustrated and had to hurriedly look for potential partners to collaborate with.
Those who had already grouped together to pool money for the auction had an expression of confidence in their faces.
"10.5 million dollars!"
Someone shouted.
"10.6 million dollars."
"11 million dollars!"
This time, it was World Conqueror from the Hegemony Guild who placed the bid.
Though they didn't manage to secure the Silver Tear, they were determined to acquire this Ancient Parchment.
"11.05 million."
"11.2 million!" World Conqueror continued to chase the price.
Then, there was another wave of bidding.
Including proxy bidders, at least twenty to thirty people in the hall started bidding.
The price was instantly raised to 13 million.
By this time, Emma in the VIP seat had become numb.
She didn't bother calculating how much she could get, it was meaningless.
Seeing the continually rising price, Emma had a sense of unreality, as if she were dreaming.
Not far from her, Blue Sea saw the price rise to 13 million and thought it was about time.
Sure enough, the hall became noticeably quieter when the price reached 13 million.
Many groups participating in the auction had to give up in the face of such a high price.
So.
Blue Sea spoke up:
"15 million dollars."
This struck like a bolt out of the blue.
Most players were shocked:
True to his reputation, Blue Sea just raised the bid by 2 million!
Seeing Blue Sea making his move, Darklord knew that the bidding had reached a fever pitch.
He immediately shouted:
"I bid 15.2 million!"
This bid drew Blue Sea's gaze towards Darklord.
He smiled slightly, didn't say much, and didn't seem to have the intention to continue bidding.
This made Darklord even more excited.
Could it be... Blue Sea has given up on the auction?
Great!
It was fortunate that he had held onto the money he had prepared to buy Silver Tear, otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to afford over 15 million dollars!
As Darklord was fantasizing about securing this legendary item.
The bespectacled proxy bidder shouted:
"15.3 million."
Darklord, unwilling to give in, continued to raise his bid:
"15.35 million!"
The bespectacled proxy bidder:
"15.4 million."
"15.45 million!"
"15.5 million."
...
After a few rounds of bidding, Darklord was about to blow a fuse.
He glared at the proxy bidder, his molars almost ground to dust.
"Damn it, who the hell keeps challenging me!"
A rooky next to Darklord hurriedly asked, "Should we give up then?"
This touched Darklord's sore spot, and he pointed at his rooky and cursed out loud:
"Damn it…I would never give up this item even if your old lady does!"
"16 million!"
Darklord had prepared around 20 million in dollar.
That is to say,beyond this price, he would no longer be able to afford it on his own.
So the price gradually approaching his limit was causing him such a breakdown.
If he failed to win the bid for Silver Tear today and also failed in the bid for the Ancient Parchment, then all his preparations would have been wasted!
What's more,
That Silver Tear was purchased by the leader of the Blue Sea Guild, Blue Sea.
So Darklord, who had planned to snatch the item, didn't dare to aim for the Silver Tear anymore.
Even with ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to make a move on Blue Sea!
Finally, the proxy bidder stopped raising the bid.
He was seen continuously checking his chat window, seemingly communicating with his boss behind the scenes.
"Heh, already at your limit?"
Seeing this, Darklord cracked a grin.
A price of 16 million dollars was already an outrageous amount.
Even for the first legendary item in the game, even if "Godslayer" is the No.1 game today, very few people would be willing to spend so much on it.
After all,
Not many people understand the significance of this game.
Seeing the bespectacled proxy bidder fall silent, Isabella said,
"16 million dollars for the first time."
"Does anyone want to raise the price?"
…
"16 million, the second time!"
Before the words had fully left her mouth,
Adam in the VIP seat raised his hand.
This move immediately caught Blue Sea's attention.
He sneered, thinking to himself: "Finally willing to make a move, are you?"
"18 million."
Adam, expressionless, raised the bid by 2 million directly, bringing it to a staggering 18 million.
Darklord, who had been feeling triumphant, had his face change dramatically.
He quickly bid,
"18.1 million!"
"19 million." Adam remained expressionless, as if the 19 million was only worth 19 dollars in his eyes.
Darklord was stunned.
He was raising the bid by 50,000 and 100,000.
While the other party was raising by one million and two million.
How could he compete with that?
Yet, he still refused to give up, thinking to himself that the other party must be close to their limit.
"19.2 million!"
Adam gave him a sidelong glance.
His face showed no emotion.
It was as if he hadn't considered Darklord a threat at all.
He continued to look at the hostess Isabella, and said,
"20 million dollars."
Darklord felt an unprecedented humiliation.
The other party didn't even consider him as competition.
This attitude drove Darklord into madness!
"21 million!"
Darklord roared.
He thought that by raising the bid by one million all at once, he would at least make the other party take him seriously.
But this time, Adam didn't even look at him.
"22 million."
Darklord wanted to raise the bid, but one of his rookies couldn't help but remind him:
"Young master, we don't have any more money..."
"Nonsense! If there's not enough, I'll borrow!" Darklord completely ignored the advice and continued to shout:
"23 million!"
Before his words had even fully left his mouth,
This time, it was Blue Sea who raised the bid.
"25 million."
After calling out his bid, Blue Sea looked at Adam, seemingly in a show of defiance.
Adam also returned the glance, smiling faintly, and continued to bid:
"26 million."
From beginning to end, neither of them gave Darklord another look.
This made the prideful Darklord furious, his forehead vein bulging.
He was already in a frenzy and now he completely tossed rationality aside.
No matter how much it cost, he had to win it!
"28 million!"
Darklord's loud shout immediately caught everyone's attention.
Blue Sea and Adam both turned to look at him simultaneously.
"This guy is interesting, it seems he really wants this parchment." Adam couldn't help but remark.
Remark as he may,
Bidding still needed to continue.
"29 million." Adam raised by another million.
Blue Sea looked at Adam, wondering how this guy was so rich.
But Blue Sea still didn't give up, bidding,
"30 million."
At this point, Darklord was in a frenzy, to him money was just a number.
Anyway, he was determined to buy it.
As long as he obtained The Devil's Treasure, all the investments would be worth it!
Panting heavily, he shouted, "31 million!"
This price was already more than ten million over his budget.
Blue Sea frowned.
He found that the guy in front of him seemed a bit abnormal.
Continuing to bid with a lunatic was meaningless.
Moreover, he had already acquired the Silver Tear today and had spent quite a bit of money, so he decided to temporarily stop bidding.
Adam also clearly felt something was wrong.
Darklord in front of him seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, a state that couldn't possibly appear in a normal person.
He said to the mage beside him:
"This guy seems to have a problem, it seems no matter how much we bid, he will raise it."
The mage couldn't help but say:
"Does he have that much money?"
"Whether he does or not, it's unwise to bid against a madman..."
As Adam said this, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a mischievous smile.
"But to let him easily get the item is impossible."
"Let me add fuel to his fire."
Saying this, Adam raised his hand and shouted loudly:
"I bid 38 million."
In the venue, many players couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"Wow!"
As Adam had predicted, Darklord was now a madman, he didn't hesitate and directly raised the bid:
"I bid 40 million dollars!"
40 million dollars.
That was enough to bankrupt a small tycoon.
The moment he shouted out the price.
Darklord himself realized something was wrong.
His rookies around him all turned pale.
But he had already shouted out the price, there was no room for regret.
Adam saw that he actually followed his bid, he couldn't help but sneer, and said no more.
From his stance, it seemed he wouldn't raise the bid anymore.
On the stage, the voice of the hostess Isabella came:
"This buyer bids 40 million, 40 million for the first time!"
...
"40 million for the second time!"
...
"40 million for the third time!"
"Sold!"
"Let's congratulate the buyer, Darklord!"
