Chapter 67: Auction Ends, Record Setting! (2)
Gu Clan…
The family head, Gu Yunyun, smiled helplessly, ”Shut down those auction houses of our Gu Clan. In the auction field, there is no more room for us to survive.”
The choice of the Gu Clan was also the choice of the other great powers.
All of the auction houses under all of the major powers announced their closure today.
There was nothing they could do if they didn’t shut down.
This was because the guests who had originally deposited their treasures here, waiting for the auction, had already arrived at the first opportunity to retrieve the treasures.
They chose the Immortal Net Auction House.
After all, the Immortal Net Auction House had auctioned off a higher transaction price.
There was no need to say which one to choose.
In the Saint Master Hall of the Great Mystery Sacred Land.
The Great Mystery Saint Master’s face was ugly.
There were dozens of auction houses in the Great Mystery Sacred Land, which were quite popular and could bring in a lot of revenue for the Sacred Land.
Now the guests were collecting their treasures in droves and not selling them at their place!
Obviously, they couldn’t be opened anymore.
Recently, the Great Mystery Sacred Land could be said to have had a lot of things going wrong.
First, it lost the Heart Jade Pendant.
Then the Ultimate Storage Ring that followed the trend failed miserably.
Now the auction business was also out of business.
This caused the Great Mystery Saint Master to carry anger in his heart.
And in the middle of the great hall, the discussion among the elders was also extraordinarily heated.
“I really didn’t expect that the Immortal Net Auction House’s auction would be so competitive, and that the Heavenly Corpse Bead that I had my eye on was able to sell for such a high price, causing me to be ill-prepared and regretfully miss it!”
“I was exploring some days ago and happened to get a copy of the thousand year old Cold Underworld Grass. I can’t use it myself, so I’ll send it to the Heavenly Origin Pavilion later and sell it for a high price!”
“Go with me, I also have a treasure I can’t use to sell!”
“A turnover of five million dollars is definitely unprecedented. The Heavenly Origin Sacred Land is making a lot of money this time!”
“That’s not true. In the future, the Immortal Net Auction House will definitely monopolize the auction business in the entire Great Yan Province. How much can they earn from the drawbacks, I don’t even dare to think about it!”
The elders were talking and lamenting.
Hearing this, Great Mystery Saint Master’s heart did not feel good.
His voice resounded through the hall, “There are many treasures in this auction, and even more so, there is the Life Extension Pill, which is an unattainable supreme treasure. It even reached this kind of transaction price.
“In future auctions, it will definitely be impossible to reach this figure again.
“What’s more, even if it fetches a turnover of five million dollars, so what?
“It’s just a call for bids!
“It’s not certain if the bidder pays or not!
“If someone doesn’t pay, that would be interesting!”
Toward the end, Great Mystery Saint Master’s eyes lit up.
Right!
It was possible to not pay.
Not paying would just mean losing a bit of deposit, plus not being able to use the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator again.
For himself as a Saint Master, it didn’t matter at all.
He himself had participated in this auction and bought the Supreme Jewel Snow Crystal Bead.
However, the competition was too fierce, and the price at which he had taken the Snow Crystal Bead was twice as high as expected.
It didn’t matter if he didn’t want it, he’d still save money.
It could also strike the Immortal Net Auction in the meantime, giving the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land a hard time.
After all, the transaction price was so high, yet someone didn’t pay.
It was bound to make people doubt the ability of the Immortal Net Auction House.
After all, auctions were for money.
What was the point of having a high transaction price if the seller couldn’t collect the money?
So, the Great Mystery Saint Master decided.
I will not pay.
At the same time, I’m going to contact some of my close friends who also participated in the auction and persuade them not to pay as well.
Adding to the trouble of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.
However, after hearing Great Mystery Saint Master’s words, an elder hurriedly spoke, “Saint Master, it’s best not to!”
Great Mystery Saint Master frowned, “Why?”
The Elder tapped the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator on his finger, “Saint Master, on the top right of the Immortal Net Auction House’s homepage, there is a default public notice column!
“It says on it that if one shouts a successful bid but fails to pay.
“Not only will the deposit be deducted and the privilege to use the Little Spirit Communicator be canceled, but the name of the defaulter will also be written in the public notice column and displayed to all Immortal Cultivators…”
The corner of Great Mystery Saint Master’s mouth twitched when he heard this!
He hurriedly opened the Immortal Net Auction House.
Sure enough.
In the conspicuous upper right corner, there really was such a public notice board.
To think that if his name was hung on it.
The scene of being known by the entire Great Yan Province as a person who just shouted out a price and didn’t pay.
Great Mystery Saint Master’s face directly turned green.
The thoughts of disgusting the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land before dissipated immediately.
As the Great Mystery Saint Master, how could he afford to lose such face.
If his name was really put up, the entire Great Mystery Sacred Land would be disgraced.
It was estimated that the Supreme Elder would be able to jump out from the forbidden land and blow his head off.
Can’t afford to mess with him, can’t afford to mess with him.
Count yourself lucky, Heavenly Origin Sacred Land!
—
Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.
The Foreign Affairs Elder was full of praise for this feature of the Default Public Notice Board.
“Saint Master, this idea of yours, it’s really… amazing!”
Ye Chen glanced at the Foreign Affairs Elder.
Why did it feel like the Foreign Affairs Elder was just trying to say that his move was too damaging?
But it was also indeed damaging.
This trick was invented by Earth where he was from in his previous life and was specifically used to deal with old scoundrels who owed money.
Ye Chen was actually not worried about whether or not this bidder would pay.
The threshold of this bidding was too high.
All of them were strong and wanted faces.
Once the default public notice column was out, the chances of them defaulting and not paying were even lower.
In case there were really a few who were determined to harm others and just didn’t pay to disgust them.
It didn’t matter.
The big deal was that the Sacred Land itself paid for it.
No harm no foul.
Ye Chen was so calm in his mind.
The elders were not so assured.
The brand new auction model was certainly , but it would also give rise to worries.
Would the auctioneer really pay properly?
If they couldn’t get the money, the auction would be meaningless even if it was lively.
It would only become a joke.
Everyone waited patiently for the next day to arrive!
