"Master, Master, a hidden profession appeared, should we go for it?" Dou Youyou sent a message.
Zhang Pingfan said with annoyance, "Do you think your money is more than the Four Great Families? Or will they give you face and not compete with you?"
Dou Youyou was immediately rendered speechless.
"But we can't just watch them take the hidden profession!"
Zhang Pingfan said, "That's true. How about you try to drive up the price maliciously?"
"Me? I can't, I can't do something like that. But my sister should be able to!"
"Whatever. Anyway, there will definitely be many people competing for this hidden profession, and the price will definitely be higher than expected. We can just watch the show. If you want to join in, that's fine, just don't go too far!"
"Okay, I wonder which guy stepped on dog shit to get a hidden profession and is now putting it up for auction!"
Zhang Pingfan said with a dark expression, "Why do you care so much? Go do what you need to do. When will you level up to 50?"
"Probably in a few more hours!"
"Then why are you still babbling here? Hurry up and go!"
"Oh!"
When Dou Junwan saw the hidden profession, she did want to compete, after all, her guild had advanced mages.
But with Dou Youyou saying that, her desire to compete instantly vanished.
"The village chief really has foresight. Compared to those major families, our money is nothing. I really don't know how much this hidden profession will sell for tonight."
The guild leaders of the three major guilds had already started actively raising funds, and at the same time, they were looking for that anonymous player.
At this moment, the guild leaders of the three major guilds had already formed a team. They knew that their guild alone could not secure this hidden profession.
"What do you two think about Eternal Myth saying they will give up on competing for this hidden profession? After all, their guild already has many hidden professions!"
"There's no need to even talk about their hidden professions; they have not only many but also strong ones. But they should at least give us some funds so we can compete!"
Tian Qi Huang nodded and said, "Don't worry about that. Eternal Myth has already agreed to lend us 10 million!"
Liu Dao said, "Alright, but even if we can't get it, we can't let those major families benefit for free!"
Bing Shan Han Yue nodded and said, "Hmph, I'll raise the price to kill them. This is a joint bid from our aristocratic family guilds and one person. I don't believe the price will be low. Of course, it would be best if we could get it, then Guild Leader Liu Dao, your hidden profession would be secured!"
Liu Dao smiled and said, "If we really get it, I'll treat you all to a meal!"
The Ouyang family, the Nangong family, the Chen family, and the Li family were all mobilizing funds. They knew that many people would be competing for this hidden profession, and a lot of them.
Everyone now understood the capabilities of hidden professions.
As long as one obtained a hidden profession, its rating would be at least Earth-tier, which was terrifying.
The major families, to this day, did not have a single hidden profession. Although the Nangong family seemed to have two hidden professions, it now seemed completely unrelated to them, as those two hidden professions had completely joined the Eternal Myth guild.
Nangong Family:
"This hidden profession is very important. We must completely control it. Although Nangong Zhenghao and Nangong Qingyu are still members of our Nangong family, they have currently broken away from our control. I do not wish for such a thing to happen again!"
Ouyang Family:
"We must secure this hidden profession and not let those guys continue to step on us!"
Chen Family:
"At all costs!"
Li Family:
"We have plenty, and we don't need all of you. Even if I can't get it, you all shouldn't have it easy!"
As time passed, 8 PM was slowly approaching, and players were eagerly awaiting this auction.
Forums were buzzing with speculation about who would eventually acquire this hidden profession.
After all, the starting bid for this hidden profession was 100 gold coins, which meant the starting price was 1 million. (The previous chapter was written incorrectly, it was written as a starting price of 10,000 gold coins!)
It was impossible for normal people or even ordinary wealthy players to have a chance to bid!
As soon as 8 o'clock struck, almost everyone opened the system's consignment dialog box.
Zhang Pingfan also opened it with great interest.
In the first slot of the auction interface was the hidden profession scroll.
The starting bid was 100 gold coins, with each bid increasing by at least one gold coin.
However, as soon as it began, the gold coin price rose from 100 to 500.
The bidding time was only 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, whoever bid the highest would get this hidden profession candidate.
At this time, the three major guilds and the four great families had not yet made a move; it was some wealthy players who were competing.
When 5 minutes of bidding time had passed.
The price of the hidden profession scroll had reached 1500 gold coins, which was already a very high price.
At this point, there was basically no one else bidding.
The sudden lack of movement in the bidding left some players somewhat dumbfounded!
"What's going on? Is it over already? This is not even as high as the price the village chief sold the hidden profession for!"
"I thought it would break the record, but it ended at 1500?"
"It ended before it even started. I was looking forward to it for so long!"
A full minute passed, and still, no one made a move.
Just as everyone thought it had really reached its limit.
The bidding result actually jumped directly from 1500 to 3000.
"It increased, by 1500 at once! Who made the move? So ruthless!"
"Do you need to guess? It must be the Four Great Families, only they have such financial strength!"
However, the Four Great Families had not made a move. This time, it was the people from the three major guilds who made the move.
"Guild Leader Tian Qi, isn't it a bit much to increase it like this?"
Tian Qi Huang smiled and said, "They just want to wait until the last moment to pick up a bargain. We can't let them do that. They must raise the price in advance!"
Just as Tian Qi Huang had thought, after he made his move, the bidding results began to change.
The people from the Four Great Families thought no one else would bid anymore, and even the three major guilds couldn't afford much. Unexpectedly, someone made a move, and they thought it was another family, so they didn't dare to stop.
The price soared from 30 million to 50 million.
A hidden profession reached 50 million, which was 5000 gold coins.
Such a terrifying price had already made so many players excited!
"They made a move, as expected, it's the major families! This price has reached 50 million, breaking the record!"
"It has indeed broken all online gaming records. I wonder how high the final price will be pushed!"
When it reached 50 million, the price paused slightly once again.
Tian Qi Huang, without hesitation, directly bid 60 million, which made the people from the Four Great Families frown. This price was already incredibly high. Why was someone directly adding 10 million? Didn't they agree? To fight for it at the last moment? It would depend on fate?
