Chapter 564: Here It Comes, A Great Performance

"One and a half million!" the rich player shouted angrily. He glared at the young nobleman with a look that could kill, his fury palpable.
"Since you like it so much, you can have it," the young nobleman said indifferently, glancing over. After speaking, he let out a mocking smirk.
The rich player felt his lungs nearly burst from anger at the sight. Although he had won, it felt far worse than if he had lost. Mocking laughter and jeers echoed around the room, making him blush with embarrassment and tremble all over.
Humiliation. Utter humiliation!
‘Kill him. I must kill him!' His fury knew no bounds; this pitiful being had made a fool of him, and all he saw was red.
He stared intently, clenched his fists, and took a step forward, ready to pounce. However, he immediately cooled down upon noticing the Level displayed above the young nobleman's head.
Level 30! His opponent could nearly kill him with a single blow!
Everyone noticed his sudden transformation from fierce eagle to cowering rabbit, and they were all confused. Why had he stopped the fight? They had been eagerly waiting for the fight to start.
Upon closer inspection, the players understood why. He was a Level 30 NPC. It was simply too much. Even if he came to humiliate them, there was nothing they could do!
In the end, the rich player purchased the Rare Equipment he desired for an exorbitant one and a half million, earning the title of the biggest fool.
The auction continued.
The third item up for auction was a rare material. Both players and NPCs participated in the bidding, but it wasn't intense, and a player quickly claimed it.
The fourth item was another piece of Rare Equipment. The bidding became intense, and it was eventually claimed by a Guild master of a substantial Guild for 450,000 gold.
"Young Master Zhang, isn't this Equipment very useful to you? Why didn't you bid for it?" S.K.Y. suddenly asked from his VIP seat.
"The value for money is too low. I can buy a lot of materials to earn Empire Prestige with that money and trade it for one Rare and five Uncommon pieces of Equipment in the store," Taurus explained.
Now that players could spend money to purchase Equipment in the store, many big Guilds seemed to be throwing money away. Especially Taurus' [Death of Love] Guild. Not only did he spend money, but he also paid his important members to do the same.
Unlike the players, the natives at the auction knew more about Magic Crystals. They were all shocked as they saw the ten Black Magic Crystals projected by light magic.
The sheer number of Black Magic Crystals made them incredibly valuable. Unfortunately, they were rather small. If they were larger, their value would be much higher.
"These Black Magic Crystals have been appraised by our professional appraisers and are completely genuine," said the auctioneer.
Viscount Yelu nearly burst into laughter upon hearing that.
‘Huhuhu, completely genuine... How ridiculous. Soon, I'll teach you the true meaning of cruelty!’ he thought.
"The bidding starts now. Ten Black Magic Crystals, starting at fifty million," the auctioneer announced.
The scene fell into dead silence. The price was simply too high. The players were confused. How could these crystals be worth so much? The natives, however, didn't react much. To them, such a starting price was entirely reasonable.
"S.K.Y., it looks like these Black Magic Crystals are useful to the natives," Taurus remarked from his VIP seat.
"It seems so," S.K.Y. replied indifferently, pushing up his nonexistent gold-rimmed glasses.
"Should we participate or not?" Taurus asked, uncertain.
Without understanding the exact purpose of Magic Crystals, he was hesitant to spend his money. However, he felt a strong desire to claim such rare treasures for himself.
"Let's not, Young Master Zhang. Look, those natives seem to want it badly. If we join in now, it will be a tough battle," S.K.Y. advised.
They had a lot of money, but that didn't mean they could spend it recklessly.
"I see. Then I won't participate," Taurus said calmly after a moment of thought.
As the saying goes, fine steel must be used on fine swords. He planned to conserve his money for Epic Equipment. Thus, he decided to set aside these temporarily useless Magic Crystals and let others fight for them.
Just as the auctioneer finished speaking, many people prepared to raise their number plates and start bidding. But at that moment, the handsome young man with dull blond hair acted faster, shouting, "Don't even bother competing with me. One hundred million!"
His bid killed all enthusiasm in the room. Nobody made a single sound.
