A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

33: Public auctionCool!

Although it’s not a full 5-star value, an increase of 4 stars is already very good.

— [magic spotted butterfly pet egg]!

Quality: 8 Stars (High-Rank)

Type: Physical Combat

Status: Unhatched, No Owner.

An 8-star High-Rank pet is already considered a small masterpiece, not to mention it’s the first one in the entire server; it will definitely sell for a lot of money.

With his current attributes and level, he would be just as powerful with or without a pet.

Therefore, Bai Tian decided to put the pet egg up for auction and immediately listed it on the trading platform.

— ”(Ding-dong!)”

”(Since the [magic spotted butterfly pet egg] you listed has reached a rare level, the system will hold the first auction event for all players in the [Great Xia Region] in 3 hours.)”

”(A system announcement is about to be triggered. Do you wish to hide your name?)”

Hiding it now would just be self-deception.

Who wouldn’t know that this pet egg belonged to him?

Bai Tian chose not to hide it.

— ”(Ding-dong!)”

”(Player [Brilliant] has listed the server’s first pet egg, triggering a system auction event.)”

”(In 3 hours, the system will conduct a real-time auction for all players in the Great Xia Region.)”

”(Within the next 3 hours, any player in the Great Xia Region who sells rare items of no less than Blue quality will have the chance to participate in the real-time auction event.)”

”(We hope all players participate actively! Special note: during the public auction, only in-game currency can be used for bidding.)”

Once this announcement went out, it immediately caused a massive sensation.

A public auction for all players in the Great Xia Region—this kind of event opportunity was extremely rare.

Large guilds, financial groups, investment companies, and wealthy tycoons who weren’t short on cash were excitedly rubbing their hands, all planning to snap up several top-tier items in the public auction 3 hours later.

Of course, the most anticipated item was still the pet egg Bai Tian was selling, which had triggered the public auction event.

However, due to the system prompt, only in-game currency would be accepted for the auction.

This caused the price of gold coins, which had already been hyped from 1 Gold for 100 dollars, to skyrocket once again instantly.

The wealthy and powerful financial backers in the game began to snap up in-game currency in large quantities.

In fact, although [Nine Heavens] had opened the function to cash out in-game currency, the sheer popularity of [Nine Heavens] kept the price of gold coins high, with demand far exceeding supply.

Currently, 1 gold coin could only be exchanged for 10 dollars through the official cash-out function.

But in the game, wealthy backers who didn’t lack money had been frantically collecting gold, long ago hyping the price from 1 Gold for 10 dollars to 1 Gold for 100.

With this new development, the price of gold would continue to soar.

”Blood Moon Guild is buying gold! 1 Gold for 110. Using the trading platform. For large quantities, the price is negotiable.”

”[Asuka] Studio is buying gold at a 120 to 1 ratio. We’ll take as much as you have.”

”Dammit! A studio dares to compete with our [Blood Moon] Guild? Buying gold at 125 to 1.”

”Merchant buying gold, 130 to 1 ratio. Large quantities can be negotiated separately.”

”...”

Almost the moment the system announcement ended, those who weren’t short on cash were already shouting to buy gold.

As a guild, [Blood Moon] was naturally overbearing within [Border Wild City]. Seeing others dare to offer higher prices for gold than them, they had already started issuing harsh threats.

As a location under the Hundred Thousand Savage Mountains, [Border Wild City] currently had an estimated player population of around 50,000.

Although Blood Moon was temporarily the only guild here, some powerful studios and bosses who weren’t short on cash didn’t fear Blood Moon much.

They directly ignored Blood Moon’s threats and went head-to-head with them.

”Blood Moon?”

Bai Tian smiled coldly.

He had killed over two hundred Blood Moon members yesterday. For people from this guild, he would kill them on sight now.

Although Bai Tian had 128 Gold on him, he wouldn’t use it to exchange for cash.

Buying potions, repairing equipment, and various events in the game all required gold coins.

It could be said that while real money was easy to earn, in-game gold was not easy to farm.

Bai Tian went to repair his equipment, painfully spending over 1 Gold.

It couldn’t be helped; he was currently decked out in luxurious equipment, with the lowest quality being Green.

But currently, Green equipment was considered top-tier.

Anyone who could have a piece of Blue equipment was absolutely a big shot among big shots.

Bai Tian’s mix of Green and Blue equipment shone like emeralds and sapphires reflecting each other, dazzling and Brilliant.

Of course, he had long since hidden the equipment’s glow. Only he could see the special effects; in others’ eyes, it looked like ordinary gear.

Therefore, his equipment repair costs were very expensive.

However, as for potions and such, Bai Tian didn’t need to buy them for the time being.

After he killed over two hundred Blood Moon members yesterday, the potions that dropped amounted to hundreds of bottles, enough for him to use for a while.

He was still missing one last medicinal ingredient to refine the low-grade bone-mending pill. Bai Tian prepared to head toward the growing area of that ingredient today, gathering herbs while farming monsters to level up.

As he walked out of [Border Wild City], a squad of Blood Moon members was swaggering out to level up at the gate.

Bai Tian smiled coldly and, without a word, gave them a [Cold Abyss Burst], sending them all back to the city.

This squad of 8 seemed relatively poor, only dropping 4 pieces of White equipment and a small amount of potions.

In the game, being killed by a player guaranteed a drop, but it didn’t necessarily mean the equipment being worn would drop.

”Whoa, who’s so fierce? One-shotting 8 people?”

”They’re Blood Moon’s people. Daring to touch them, this big shot has some guts!”

”You blind guys haven’t recognized him yet? That’s the Great Brilliant.”

”Whoa, it’s God Brilliant? Then it’s not surprising. Last night, the Great Brilliant took out over two hundred Blood Moon members by himself.”

”That guy called Kiss Kiss Little White even went online to complain that Brilliant was cheating, only to be slapped in the face by the officials.”

”...”

Although Bai Tian was relatively low-key and had the habit of hiding his ID and turning off equipment effects.

There were still observant people who remembered his appearance and recognized him at a glance.

After picking up the items, Bai Tian slowly disappeared amidst a crowd of reverent gazes.

But after Bai Tian had walked for a while, a message suddenly popped up from his friends list.

”It’s rare to see a night owl like you online so early.”

”I’ve discovered a hidden map. Do you want to go there to level up together?”

The person who sent the message was Flowers in Full Bloom, whom he hadn’t seen for a few days.

This woman is truly fierce!

When Bai Tian went offline this morning, she hadn’t come online yet and was still level 17.

As it turned out, after he took a nap, Flowers in Full Bloom was already level 18.

Bai Tian knew that Flowers in Full Bloom was very ambitious and had always solo-farmed to level up.

For her to invite him to level up together, that hidden map must be extraordinary.

As an Assassin, she could still level up so fast solo-farming; that hidden map is probably very lucrative!

Bai Tian immediately replied: ”I’m in, what are the coordinates?”

Seeing Bai Tian agree, Flowers in Full Bloom immediately sent a set of coordinates.

Bai Tian quickly rushed toward the coordinates.

Meanwhile, the Blood Moon members who were just killed back to the city by Bai Tian and had all dropped a level were currently complaining to their boss.

The leader of the Blood Moon Guild—[Blood Moon Without Trace], was a level 14 Archer.

The Vice Guild Leader—[Blood Moon Misty Condensation], a level 14 Priest, was his younger sister.

The Guild Leader and Vice Guild Leader were currently party-leveling with Vantis and several guild elites.

Upon hearing that their members had been killed by Brilliant, everyone’s expressions darkened.

”Dammit! Brilliant is too arrogant.”

”He killed over two hundred of our people last night, and we haven’t even gone to settle the score with him yet, but he actually dared to take the initiative to bully us at our doorstep.”

Several executives cursed.

Blood Moon Without Trace, the Blood Moon leader, looked toward Vantis.

”Hall Master Fan, how do you say we handle this?”

Blood Moon Without Trace knew that the reason their guild had a grudge with Brilliant was all caused by Vantis.

”Guild Leader, everyone, I admit that our guild’s grudge with Brilliant started because of me.”

”But now, not to mention [Border Wild City], even on the entire internet, who doesn’t know that Bai Tian has slapped our Blood Moon’s face?”

”We have over 5,000 brothers here in Blood Moon. Can we really let ourselves be stepped on and beaten by a Priest?”

Vice Guild Leader Blood Moon Misty Condensation was a sexy woman with large eyes and a full chest; she also spoke up.

”Brother, if it were before, I wouldn’t have agreed to the guild having a conflict with Brilliant, but now it’s no longer possible.”

”If we don’t take action, Blood Moon will become a laughingstock.”

Guild Leader Blood Moon Without Trace glanced indifferently at Vantis and his sister Blood Moon Misty Condensation.

Vantis was recruited by his sister, and his strength was indeed decent, but he had heard that this guy had a notorious reputation back on Novice Island.

Yesterday, Vantis had taken a portion of the Blood Moon brothers to attack Brilliant behind his back.

”Vantis, you poked this mess, so you must resolve it for me!”

Blood Moon Without Trace’s voice was bone-chillingly cold, as if it would freeze Vantis in place.

His sharp gaze, like two sharp swords, pierced straight at Vantis, making him not dare to be the least bit negligent.

”I’m giving you the authority to command 2,000 of our guild members. I expect you to deal with Brilliant within 3 days.”

Blood Moon Without Trace’s tone left no room for doubt, as if he were issuing a final ultimatum.

Vantis knew well that this was his last chance. If he couldn’t resolve Brilliant within the specified time, he would face severe punishment from Blood Moon Without Trace.

”If you can’t deal with him, then even my sister protecting you won’t work; I’ll deal with you myself.”

Blood Moon Without Trace looked coldly at Vantis, his eyes filled with threat and pressure.

Vantis’s heart tightened. He knew Blood Moon Without Trace was a man of his word; if he couldn’t complete the task, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Blood Moon Without Trace’s sister suddenly acted coquettishly: ”Brother, don’t be so mean to Hall Master Fan.”

Her gentle voice was like a spring breeze, lightly brushing over Vantis’s heart.

Her eyes were full of trust and encouragement, making Vantis feel a trace of warmth.

Vantis hurriedly expressed his determination: ”Guild Leader, Vice Guild Leader, rest assured, I will never let you down.”

His voice was powerful and resonant, as if he were making a military pledge to Blood Moon Without Trace and his sister.

He knew well that this was a turning point in his life. If he couldn’t grasp the opportunity, he would forever lose his position in the Blood Moon Guild.
