Chapter 244: World Auction part-7: Warship with missile system

The next items are also similar ones, the item on rank-7 is Taotie Spear, rank-6 is Taotie Canon, rank-5 is Taotie Staff, and rank-4 is Taotie dual daggers.

Losing the bid twice in a row made Wil angry. He promised himself that he wouldn't leave anything to any VIP and teach everyone a lesson because of one's mistake.

He did enjoy the privilege of acquiring the player auctioned items. Maybe, that boosted his ego and let him think he can acquire everything easily and made him underestimate the wealth of others.

But, the reality hit him hard.

He didn't expect to receive a strong opposition at the second item itself.

Before the auction began, he received a warning from Akiko like how he needs to have atleast a hundred thousand gold coins for the auction.

At that time, Wil only thought of his wealth and ignored the meaning behind her sentence.

Her words meant that others might also have a hundred thousand gold coins to spend.

In the end, he hesitated on bidding the two weapons after they reached a high price and thereby lost them.

Why he hesitated?

It's because they are of no value to him. If they are of value to him, he would have gone for even a hundred thousand but alas, they were nothing but useless to him.

But suddenly after losing two items, he remembered something else. Why can't he just buy it now and later auction it for a higher price? He doesn't need to gift it to them to anyone.

The bow and the sword have a 500 level limit. So, it is useful for atleast 3-5 years of playtime. As time passes, their values will also increase.

Moreover, it's not that he would become a pauper even if he spent everything. Then, why did he hesitate earlier?

Upon realizing such simple logic, Wil became angry at himself for being such stupid.

Wil's determination became firm. This time, he decided not to hesitate no matter how high the price go. 

"58000 once, twice…" *Ting* "Sold"

"Congratulations E14 for acquiring Taotie Spear."

"49500 once, twice…" *Ting* "Sold"

"Congratulations for acquiring Taotie Canon."

As soon as he received the canon, he handed it to Evie who then paid him the exact amount in return.

With her father giving her 41000 gold coins to spend, SnowDew/Evie was able to acquire the Canon without the help of Wil.

It made Akiko surprise and she wondered which family this rich kid belongs to.

"62000 once, twice…" *Ting* "Sold"

"Congratulations E14 for acquiring Taotie Staff"

While the rest of them are sold for around at a similar price as previous ones, Wil received a huge competition for the dual daggers.

Still, in the end, he managed to buy it with his heart is bleeding as he looked at the price.

"86000 once, twice…" *Ting* "Sold"

"Congratulations for E14 for acquiring Taotie dual daggers."

'Who the f**k is this squanderer?' Nearly every VIP almost coughed out blood in anger as they failed to acquire the items they bid for.

They spent millions of dollars to buy the gold coins and yet, in the end, this squanderer bought everything anyway.

VIP section, B6 room;

After hearing Wil buying the daggers for such an exorbitant amount, Supreme Conqueror sighed in relief, "I should really glad that I got this sword."

He glanced at the Taotie sword that he bought for 65000 gold coins.

"How many gold coins the guy from E14 spent until now?"

His secretary calculated the amount and answered "227165 gold coins. I think, he already gave up the top three items and wishes to acquire the rest."

The same kind of discussion is going around in other VIP rooms where the secretaries are recording the data.

Meanwhile, the gamers on the ground floor can only look up at these VIPs who are spending tens of thousands of gold coins.

This audience thought 1000 gold coins is a large amount and found out a guy who is spending tens of thousands of gold coins per item.

If the guy in B1 is a bully who bullied the casual players, the one in E14 is a bully who even bullied the VIP players.

For the past hour, it just seemed like a one-man show for them.

At the same time, a part of them also became a little bit happy that B1 wasn't able to buy anything else and was crushed under this rich squanderer.

But, there are a few people in the VIP section who are silent. They didn't bid a single thing yet as their focus is on the top three items, specifically, the dinosaur egg.

Back to the platform, Amelia opened the box and revealed the rank-3 item, a toy ship.

"I apologize for not showing the original item as it is too big to fit in this space. Anyway, this is the miniature model of the Warship.

For those who would like to venture into waters or are interested in navy battles, this will be very useful. This Warship is durable enough to take a 100 billion amount of damage and it can be repaired by collecting some materials.

It also has a missile system where you can aim at enemies that are 500 meters far away.

Each missile has an attack power of 50 million and the blast radius is 100 meters. If you were the upgrade it, the attack power and the blast radius will also increase exponentially.

You were given 100 missiles for free but if you need to buy more, there's a buy option inside the Warship panel.

You can just spend gold coins and the missiles will be installed automatically.

The starting bid is 10000 gold coins. You can raise the bid by 1000 gold coins or 5000 gold coins."

Wil looked at the model. Unlike his Warship that looks like it was from the 18th century, this one looks modern. Not only its attack power is far higher, but the attack range is also far superior to Athledon's Warship.

This one even has a blast radius while his cannonballs are single target.

Wil thought this would be useful to him. Having two Warships isn't bad after all.

But he once again underestimated the situation. The silent VIPs who are quietly waiting in the background charged forward.

All of a sudden, a bunch of new and unfamiliar bidders declared their intentions to buy.

"H3 bids 15000 gold coins."

"H24 bids 20000 gold coins"

"D1 bids 25000 gold coins."

"H3 bids 30000 gold coins."

"F17 bids 35000 gold coins."

"H24 bids 40000 gold coins."

"G11 bids 45000 gold coins."

"P8 bids 50000 gold coins."

"A23 bids 55000 gold coins."

"E9 bids 60000 gold coins."

"H3 bids 65000 gold coins."

Two minutes in, and the bid rose to 65000 already. Another two minutes in, it rose to 114000.

Even a hot-headed Wil had to give up after the price crossed a hundred thousand gold coins.

It's not like he doesn't have coins to spare but the Professor who tagged along with Akiko advised him that it would better to store them now so that he can bid for the egg. He can't underestimate these hidden organizations.
