1048 Packed Auction

Not just in \u003c\u003cREBIRTH\u003e\u003e, but in every single game, in order to determine whether something was good or bad, apart from just looking at the item's attributes and uses, the most important thing was the background description of the item.

Clearly, the system wasn't that cheap this time around. After all, Wang Yu had gone through very lengthy means in order to complete the quest this time, even going so far as to destroy an entire main city. It would be too shameless if the system still gave Wang Yu a trashy ability.

Even though there was no detailed description regarding the destructive capabilities of the [Descending Dragon Palm], it wasn't difficult to infer from the background description that this was a peerless ability.

After all, it was everybody's first time seeing a background description like the [Descending Dragon Palm]. Slaying Gods and exterminating Demons, a simply peerless ability. Just solely based on this sentence itself would take everyone's breath away.

Despite everyone else having relatively strong and overpowered S-ranked abilities, when placed in comparison with Wang Yu's [Descending Dragon Palm], none of them had the face to continue bragging.

However, things like skills and abilities didn't really matter to someone like Wang Yu. Furthermore, ultimate killing abilities like such usually came with staggering cooldowns and MP costs.

On the contrary, Wang Yu preferred low cost and instantaneous abilities that could be incorporated into his own Martial Arts.

Even the Old Man Hermit himself had mentioned that enlightened martial artists seek strength from within. In the eyes of Wang Yu, these gaming abilities were considered forms of external strengths as well.

The quintessence of a Martial Artist lay in his fundamental combat techniques. Those external sources of strength that aided one's abilities were actually detrimental to a true Martial Artist.

Thus, Wang Yu's attitude towards this [Descending Dragon Palm] was vastly different from the rest. He simply said indifferently, "I'm not too sure what this ability does, but the most important thing would be its practicality."

"Forget it. This is Old Bull's typical act of downplaying everything." Apart from Yang Nuo, who was a fellow true Martial Artist, everyone else started to express their dissatisfaction with Wang Yu's indifference.

…

The auction only began the next day at 8 pm. However, for someone that was extremely punctual like Wang Yu, on the second day afternoon, Wang Yu had already arrived in Freedom City along with the rest of the people from Quan Zhen sect.

Frankly speaking, Wang Yu never expected the rest from Quan Zhen Sect to tag along with him. However, after witnessing how overpowered Wang Yu's ability was, everyone felt a sense of pressure to further improve themselves. They all simultaneously expressed their interest to make good use of the large sum of money in their hands, for example using it to purchase better equipment for themselves.

The bunch of people from Quan Zhen Sect could be considered filthy rich. Solely based on the amount of gold that they have saved, there were very few players that could claim that they were wealthier. Naturally, they had the qualifications to purchase items in the auction.

The moment they alighted the ship, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect could feel that the Freedom City today was vastly different from the Freedom City on normal days.

Freedom City was a city on the same scale as that of War God City. Comparing the size of the city, it was much larger than that of Twilight City. However, the streets were packed to the point whereby there was simply no room between the players at all. It was like Twilight City when the numerous large guilds had launched their full-scale attack on it.

It is to be known that the maps in \u003c\u003cREBIRTH\u003e\u003e were extremely large. Ever since the game started till now, apart from the very first day when everyone first entered their camps, there had never been such a spectacle before.

For strong and bulky Warrior classes, such a predicament was still acceptable. However, for people like Ming Du that played the Magician class and had relatively skinnier and physically weaker physique, he had on numerous occasions, almost got separated from the team. This greatly triggered the initially already-angsty Ming Du. With a raise of his staff, thunder started revolving around it. He was about to start massacring these people…

Fortunately, Wang Yu was quick on his feet and had fast reflexes. In a single move, he had pinned Ming Du down on the ground and said, "Keep your temper in check. This isn't Twilight City."

As he was speaking, Wang Yu pointed at the sentry located ten feet away as well as the numerous guards situated five feet apart from each other.

Why was Freedom City to peaceful? It was because of the overwhelming security in the city. If any player decided to create a ruckus here, the guards could easily suppress the culprit. No matter how much the two factions don't see eye to eye with each other, in front of these guards, they could only settle their disputes peacefully.

Regarding these guards, Ming Du was still relatively respectful of them.

"Sii…"

Upon seeing so many guards around, Ming Du gasped, "Heck, why are there so many players in a broken city like this?"

"How would I know? When I was here yesterday, there weren't many players here either," Wang Yu replied, confused as well.

Even though Freedom City wasn't small in size, in comparison with Twilight City, the only difference was that there were way more guards in the city. The standards of the players were similar to that of normal players.

At this moment, Fearless coolly remarked, "Obviously, these players are the representatives of various large guilds, here to participate in the auction. Seems like Old Nine's scheming marketing tactics are way better than ours."

"Of course. When I was browsing the forums last night, all of the lead forums were discussing the matter of today's auction. Things are different when they are handled professionally," Vainglory added.

"Players that are participating in the auction?" The moment everyone heard what Fearless said, they frantically looked at the players around them.

As expected, the players around all banded together in several groups. Furthermore, every team all had a crest on their chest. Seems like these players were here for the City Lord Seal.

When businessmen wanted to sell their items badly, they would always want to have the hype over their product. Regardless of whichever era it was, it had become a tradition.

Of course, the more players the better it was for Wang Yu. After all, the greater the competition, the higher the price would go… This was a logic that everyone understood.

Thus, everyone could only suppress the gloomy feelings in their heart, quickening their pace to their destination.

The moment the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect arrived at the auction house's main gate, the very first thing that caught their eye was a huge sign. The message on the sign was simple and straightforward: Any player with less than 200,000 gold is barred from entering.

This was understandable. There were only so many seats in an auction house. Naturally, they couldn't let anyone casually enter. Thus, Old Nine had decided to place such a huge sign on their main gate.

Upon seeing this huge sign, the people from Quan Zhen Sect couldn't help but sigh incessantly. For an auction house to send out such a message, it was simply an act of bullying by the shop.

It couldn't be helped that the auction house only entertained high net worth customers. They simply couldn't be bothered with the amount of money that they could earn from ordinary customers. Furthermore, this would establish a sense of prestige for the customers that could meet such stringent criteria, allowing them to feel as if they were VIPs themselves.

As a businessman, Old Nine was extremely professional in his job.

In the game, apart from the bunch of players from Quan Zhen Sect, the only people that could easily take out 200 thousand gold were those guild leaders of large guilds and second generation descendants of wealthy families.

Due to such a stringent requirement, the number of players that could actually enter the auction house was very small.

Despite so, three to four hours prior to the commencement of the auction, the entire auction house was already filled to the brim.

At the end of the day, this was a City Lord Seal that was up for auction. It wasn't too bad if one could take a peek at the item even though they could not purchase it.
