“Eighteen Massacres, I heard that you were killed in the Moldolita Forest again?” Demon Robe gave a sinister laugh. “Not bad, die a few more times, and you can change your name to Eighteen Deaths.”

Eighteen Massacres said coldly, “Zip it!”

“You still have a big temper...” Baili Xuanyuan frowned slightly. Immediately after, Demon Robe, who was about to continue speaking, swallowed down the rest of his words.

Being observant was an essential skill for a successful person. However, it was a pity that Eighteen Massacres that idiot never learned this skill.

Next to Baili Xuanyuan was an exquisitely dainty and ravishingly beautiful Wei Lu—she was like his little wife. Her foxy eyes secretly stole a look at Baili Xuanyuan from time to time as if she was embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Eighteen Massacres and Demon Robe could not read the atmosphere, and they were diametrically opposed to each other. Beside them stood a burly man that was as tall as two meters. His square face was filled with hideous scars, but he did not wear anything to cover his face; instead, he actually showed his barbarous face under the sun for everyone to see.

Baili Xuanyuan had naturally received the invitation card too. Although Lin Jie always held a grudge against many things, just nicely, money wasn’t within that range of things.

At the Central Auction House, Baili Xuanyuan had already spotted Lin Jie from afar. Lin Jie had his arms crossed, his eyes underneath his helmet flashed with a shred of mockery, most likely he had already discovered Baili Xuanyuan.

“Hmph.” Baili Xuanyuan eyes were ice cold, but when he walked into the Auction House, he revealed a genuine smile. “Leader Lone Wolf, from the last time we bade farewell, I have talked of you repeatedly for a long time.”

Lin Jie smiled and said, “Which time?”

Baili Xuanyuan’s eyes sank. ‘This bastard is too arrogant!’

The first time they met, Lin Jie had stolen Tiger King Bangalash. The second time, Lin Jie had snatched the Thunder Silver-Feathered Eagle from under everyone’s noses!

“Leader Lone Wolf really likes to joke.” Baili Xuanyuan did not get angry, but instead, he laughed. He then pulled Wei Lu into his arms, his right hand squeezed her small breast strongly without restraint. Wei Lu’s whole body trembled as a severe stream of pain could be felt from her chest.

To please Baili Xuanyuan, her touch sensation settings were always at 100%, so that she could make the most suitable expressions at any time.

Screech—

A clear and long cry could be heard from the sky. The Silver-Feathered Eagle was extremely noticeable under the shining sunlight.

Baili Xuanyuan raised his head to take a look, and a shred of astonishment flashed in his eyes. He then said seriously, “The auction is about to start, Leader Lone Wolf, you are not planning to just let us stand here to watch it, are you?”

“Of course not, this is the invitation card, this way please.” Lin Jie took out the invitation card and planned to hand it to Baili Xuanyuan. From his eyes, one could see that Eighteen Massacres had not told Baili Xuanyuan about the pet egg.

‘Looks like within the three alliances, it is not that harmonious either.;

Dong!

The ground trembled! The burly man that was like a giant suddenly approached Lin Jie. His outrageous muscles were wrapped in his armor, besides his hideously ugly face, the other parts were all covered completely.

“Just pass the invitation card to me.”

“This brother’s looks are really unreasonable.”

Lin Jie passed the invitation card to him. In a quick glance, Lin Jie saw that his name was Baizhan Yusheng. Without Baili as the prefix, he was probably not one of the Baili family’s people. His equipment was the Dark Night Judgement produced from the Lurker Swamp and Labrudol Castle. The only item that Lin Jie could not see its attributes was the shield the burly man carried, which made him feel slightly uneasy.

Baili Xuanyuan held his fists and saluted to Lin Jie. “Thank you very much.”

His manners were quite in place.

Wei Lu, on the other hand, secretly took a look at Lin Jie. Her eyes flickered, but under Baili Xuanyuan impatient “hurry,” she swiftly followed behind him.

After seeing the five of them disappear, Lin Jie confirmed that Baili Changcheng and Baili Xuanyuan did not come together. Then, he set his mind at rest and instantly teleported into the auction.

There was still about one hour before the auction officially started. In that long one hour of waiting, there was actually nobody that was impatient or anxious. The female waiters wearing cheongsam were dressed sexily but did not lose any charm. They served delicious pastry and drinks to customers.

The scale of this time’s auction in the Central Auction House had become extremely large with the full support from Holy Church.

Lin Jie was teleported to the audience seats. Although it could not be compared to the luxurious VIP seats, the grade of the audience seats was relatively high. There was a virtual template in front, and that was the light equipment that Zheng Ziliang had rented.

“You’ve come?” Zheng Ziliang casually leaned on the beast-skin cushion and ate a piece of cake.

“Yes,” replied Lin Jie casually. Not long after, Baili Changcheng came to Lin Jie’s side.

“Are you alright?”

Baili Changcheng nodded his head silently, his face was solemn.

“Okay.” Lin Jie’s finger tapped on the virtual screen lightly, a total of over 30 classifications appeared before him, including equipment, potions, materials, pets, mounts... If one took a liking to any item, then they could directly join in the bidding by putting up a price. Once someone successfully bid that item, then there would be people bringing the items specifically to them.

In front of him, there were already several players that had successfully bid items, up to hundreds of beauties were delivering the goods now.

Zheng Ziliang said, “There were many items obtained in this auction. Gold equipment, middle-grade materials, as well as rare pets, could only be the prelude of the auction.”

Lin Jie took a look and nodded his head in agreement. It was hard to imagine that Gold equipment, which could very easily attract attention in other Auction Houses, were as common as Chinese cabbages here.

“Wait, that item couldn’t be in the main auction either?” Lin Jie was shocked.

Additional effect: Critical Hit Damage increases by 15%

Dark Gold Fragment! That was a Dark Gold Fragment! Domestic Fat Cattle relied on a Dark Gold Fragment Staff to occupy the rankings board all year round, so one could see how powerful a Dark Gold Fragment was. Now, a Dark Gold Fragment was actually just so publicly thrown as the auction “prelude.”

“It was originally up there, but something pushed it out.” Zheng Ziliang laughed mysteriously.

The Lesson Learnt By Schemer’s price was rising rapidly, from the starting bid of 50 gold coins all the way up, it increased smoothly without stopping. It was almost about to increase over 800 gold coins!

A fatso Bandit yelled angrily, “Dare to fight with me! I’ll exchange for so many gold coins that you would be smashed to death!”

At the auction, gold coins calculated in the thousands were being bought at a shocking speed, then they were used to join the bids.

As time passed, the players’ levels increased, the price of the gold coins decreased, down to 200 to 1 exchange rates. Meanwhile, this time, due to the intervention of the Holy Church, Lin Jie could only change the method of transaction from cash in real-life to game coins.

What Lin Jie did not expect was that this strategy caused the Central Auction House’s popularity to increase vigorously by a huge portion! That was because this auction caused countless of small workshops and lone wolf players’ gold coins to be sold out.

“Central Auction House could clearly earn much more money, but they chose to give us, normal payers, a share of the money. Actually, changing to using gold coins as the form of transaction, they are simply the moral role models!”

“Central Auction House? You mean the City of Light Central Auction House?”

“Pui! Take away the prefix! I only recognize one auction house, and that is the Central Auction House!”

Lin Jie checked the materials column and bought quite the number of rare materials he needed one after the other. The grades of these materials may not be very high, but their numbers were large, using them to enhance Broken Blade was quite the good choice.

Suddenly, the whole Auction House turned dark.

The real auction was about to begin!

Light curtains were gradually raised, and a shapely body that wore a fiery-red cheongsam was revealed. One could vaguely see her tall, long legs under the slits of the cheongsam, her slender waist that was plentiful dainty of a hand, and her plump seductive chest. She attracted the gazes of countless people as the light shone on her.

What kind of beauty would be the master of such a perfect figure?

The light curtains were raised and Bella, who was wearing a white butterfly mask, appeared before everyone! Many men instantly felt quite lost, while a wave of curiosity spread in their hearts toward the masked beauty’s identity.

“Welcome to the Central Auction House!” Bella’s sweet voice reverberated beside everyone’s ears, it was extremely comfortable. Her smile and graceful performance astonished Lin Jie.

“We will auction a total of 10 items today. As for the quality of the items, I believe Bella does not need to repeat it again, everyone knows it very well. This auction will not set a base price, every increase in bids must not be lesser than 100 gold coins.”

As Bella was explaining the rules of the auction in a leisure and sensual manner, a fat Mage with big ears shouted, “Auctioneer, if I bid a high price, can I take you away?”

“Hahaha...” His underlings surrounding him started laughing in consort to what he said.

That person’s name was City Siege Lion, the guild leader of the second-class guild “Moron Court Of Law.” He was a famous, new money coal tycoon. He had ruffian habits and characteristics. The things that he would do happily were to show up at all kinds of small to middle scale exhibitions to play with those dazzling women.

This auction, in his understanding, was no different from those game or goods exhibitions—model auctioneers and so on. If he could name the price, then naturally he could play with the women.

Who expected that everyone would be looking at him as if looking at an idiot.

Who was present? Top guild leaders, magnates, existences that his kind of people could not offend!

One must do things in accordance to the occasion. Obviously, this guy was doing it wrong.

On top of the auction, a ray of Holy Light was gathered to form an Illusionary Winged Paladin. Wing of Holy Light, that was the symbol of high-level Paladins and Priests!

The Paladin silently looked at City Siege Lion, he casually waved his hand, and numerous rays of Holy Light descended, twisting into a space spiral. What followed after was a sound of “plop,” and then at the other end of the space, those people were locked in jail!

The people present were all astonished, just how much power did the owner of the Auction House have? Even those Paladins in Holy Church that were not amenable to reason actually appeared within the auction to maintain order?

“Okay, everyone please look over here! Compared to those cold-faced Paladins, it is obvious that the scenery here is much better, right?” said Bella as she laughed tenderly, attracting the attention of people again.

“The first item is a Bronze-Grade item,” whispered Bella.

“Bronze-Grade?”

“I saw a Dark Gold Fragment in the auction column! That grade of item was actually at the auction column, while a Bronze item is one of the featured items of the main auction!?”

“Hpmh, could it be that they used all the good items to promote themselves? In the end, are they gonna use a pile of trash to deceive us?”

Discussions within the Auction House gradually heated up.

When Bella took out a bleak-colored hoe, the sounds of disdain increased more and more. Not only was it a Bronze item, but it was also a Bronze Living job item!
