”Auction Post (NO.5) by Faceless Ancient (Star Server Owner)

”NOTE: Post is set to publish in 31 minutes…”

Jacob posted four auction posts he had prepared beforehand, one after another, but he still restricted the last auction post and set it on a timer. It was the main item of todayʼs auction, so he wanted it revealed after the three atomic grenades were sold.

Just as open the bidding posts, the bidding war instantly rages on all of them. This time, he deliberately set up the timers to less than half an hour with 10 minutes intervals each because he found hours for an auction item irrelevant after he watched what happened the last time.

There wasnʼt any need to waste other time, he had already announced this auction, so people should be ready, and he wanted to end it quickly so he could be on his merry way toward the Vile Witch Layer.

Instantly, the bids crossed over 25 million ZC on all posts and finally started to slow down.

”Current highest Bidder (Auction Post NO.2): Anonymous145839 (Star ID: New-Star-of-Dawn)

”Bid from Anonymous145839: 26,100,000 ZC

”Current highest Bidder (Auction Post NO.3): Anonymous84322 (Star ID: Great Hallberg)

”Bid from Anonymous84322: 26,050,500 ZC

”Current highest Bidder (Auction Post NO.4): Anonymou500 (Star ID: Rich Winter Lady)

”Bid from Anonymou500: 26,300,000 ZC”

These were the highest bids on his three posts within a single minute. But he knew it was far from over because the Society Killer had yet to make his move. He was probably waiting for everyone to be exhausted to the limit before swooping in just like he did the last time.

Furthermore, Jacob also noticed that Hallberg and the three hegemoniesʼ leaders were bidding more fiercely than before, and he didnʼt know if it was just his imagination, but none of the three leaders were trying to bid on the same post as Hallberg.

ʼDid this bastard has such connections?ʼ Jacob thought with narrowed eyes as it was quite possible because Hallberg had the Dark City behind him.

Although he hates to admit it, he knew Hallberg was no small character, and Dark City was probably the only existence Jacob didnʼt want to make an enemy off. But it was quite hard after what Hallberg did, and he didnʼt know what he would do if that cunning dwarf appeared in front of him.

As Jacob was observing the bids, 8 minutes passed, and there were less than two minutes before the time on the first post was over.

”Current highest Bidder (Auction Post NO.2): Anonymous132 (Star ID: Might-of-Destruction)

”Bid from Anonymous132: 38,400,800 ZC”

This was the current highest bid from the Chairman of the Zodiac Warrior Alliance himself, and no one seemed to be bidding anymore except for the New-Star-of-Dawn. This start ID actually belonged to one of the three merchants Jacob has formed a partnership with.

But the Atomic Grenade seemed to be again falling out of his pocket range. So, in the end, Gunner remained on top, and the last thirty seconds started, and soon only 10 seconds remained.

ʼWhat are you doing?ʼ Jacobʼs eyes narrowed when the Society Killer didnʼt appear at all, completely opposite to his early intentions.

But he knew if that guy was planning to place a last-second bid, it wonʼt work because if someone tries to be cunning and place a final bid at the very last second, the post-timer wonʼt just end.

Instead, a function called the Three Bidding Announcement will initiate so the other party can have a chance to place another bid, and the three bidding announcements will reset again upon a new bid. This process will be continued until a winner passes the three bidding announcements.

Thatʼs why it was impossible to play such a trick in Star Network Auction.

When the timer was about to hit ʼ1,ʼ the bid finally changed!

”Post timer has been over; the 3 Bidding Announcements have been activated!

”New Bid from Anonymous1 (Star ID: The Society Killer): 40,000,000 ZC

”Final Bid 40 Million ZC going twice…

”New Bid from Anonymous132 (Star ID: Might-of-Destruction): 40,150,000 ZC”

”Final Bid 40.15 Million ZC going once…

”New Bid from Anonymous1 (Star ID: The Society Killer): 50,000,000 ZC

”Final Bid 50 Million ZC going once…

”Final Bid 50 Million ZC going twice…

”New Bid from Anonymous4 (Star ID: Amiable Wizened Monk): 50,500,000 ZC

”Final Bid 55 Million ZC going once…

”Final Bid 55 Million ZC going twice…

”Final Bid 55 Million ZC going thrice…”

This time no new bid was entered, and the Society Killer won the atomic grenade with three bidding announcements.

”Star Server: Ancient Artifact Industry Auction Post NO.2 has been concluded and won by Anonymous1 (Star ID: The Society Killer)!

”Final Bid Amount: 55,000,000 ZC has been successfully transfer to your Zodiac Bank Account!

”(NOTE: The Amount (55,000,000 ZC) will remain locked until the item is delivered to The Society Killer!)

”Calculating the Grace Period …”

Gunnar looked at the final conclusion of Auction Post NO.2 with bloodlust in his eyes and a few bulging veins twitching on his temple.

His vice was standing right behind with sealed lips while his back was filled with sweat, and his eyes shimmered with trepidation. He had never seen Gunnar so pissed in a very long time.

At this moment, Gunnar finally spoke hoarsely with naked killing intent, ”I want you to find every person who had liquid assets over 1 Billion ZC. Use everything in our power and use our influence. You have my full support, and probably the other two will not reject this approach as well!”
