Chapter 437: Chapter 9: Auction Items
The venue was completely packed, and after meeting, some contractors with grievances made the place even livelier.
Neither the God Emperor Adventure Group nor the Black Flag Trading Company stopped this situation; it’s a feature of the Reincarnation Paradise, where strength is the only hard truth. With strength comes rights and wealth.
Time quickly reached 7:50, and the auction was about to begin.
"Divine Emperor, it seems like you’ve been doing well, hosting such a large-scale auction."
A man dressed like a cowboy, with a cigar in his mouth, walked to the front row.
"You guy..."
The Divine Emperor’s face didn’t look good, as he glanced at a subordinate beside him.
The subordinate immediately contacted the people at the front door, shook his head helplessly after getting feedback.
The other party had a ticket, so they couldn’t stop him.
The Divine Emperor reacted this way because the person who came was from the Phantom Troupe, Left Wheel Man came uninvited.
"Divine Emperor, you’re so stingy, just a ticket, and you wouldn’t even sell it to us."
Left Wheel Man sat on seat number 15, crossing his legs.
"Stingy? Ask my thirty-four subordinates who have already died."
The Divine Emperor took a deep breath; since the other party was already inside, saying more was useless.
"Just dead souls under my gun, come seek revenge if you have the guts, anytime."
Left Wheel Man sat there with a calm expression, the grudge between the Divine Emperor and the troupe was irreconcilable.
"Big sister, can I kill you?"
A crisp child’s voice echoed, and Xiela, sitting at seat number 2, turned pale.
"Gulu, you madwoman!"
Xiela turned around to look at a little girl behind her; she had no idea when the girl had gotten there.
"Last time, I almost killed you, big sister, your heart is really soft."
The little girl wore red children’s clothes, with a lollipop in her mouth, and the back of her white hand had an Arabic numeral 6 tattooed on it.
Her name was Gulu, she liked eating candy and killing people, with over three digits of contractors having died by her hands, troupe number 6.
"Perverted killer, I’m not interested in talking to you."
"So heartless, after all that ’intimate’ contact."
Hearing Gulu’s words, Xiela felt a faint pain in her chest.
Three Derivative Worlds ago, during a fight, Gulu had gripped her heart, and if the Divine Emperor hadn’t arrived in time, she would be dead.
Gulu walked over to Left Wheel Man and sat down, like an innocent child, curiously looking around.
"Left Wheel, was that guy who burst your bladder last time? Does he look appetizing?"
"Yeah, that’s him, Carl’s number was sold by him."
"Even more interested now, what about that Siberian Husky, so adorable."
Left Wheel Man stopped speaking, as Gulu was somewhat moody; even as fellow troupe members, Gulu might kill him if she suddenly went crazy.
Although the appearance of the troupe made the God Emperor Adventure Group somewhat displeased, the auction had to continue.
As for the Black Sail Merchant Group, they shrank to the backstage upon the troupe’s appearance, only able to shudder in the face of the troupe’s maniacs.
After all, since they provoked the troupe, within just five Derivative Worlds, the Black Sail Merchant Group’s members had over 20% casualties.
The lights in the venue suddenly went out, eliciting exclamations from the contractors.
The curtain on the stage gradually opened, and a spotlight shone onto the stage.
"Hello, everyone, heh heh heh~."
A ringmaster clown-like host stood on stage; this was someone from the Black Sail Merchant Group, with a record of swindling a contractor twelve times.
"Bastard, give back the money!"
"Clown, you better hope I don’t run into you in a Derivative World."
"Change the host! Did the Divine Emperor and Black Flag Trading Company lose their minds?"
A flood of curses came, and the boss of the Black Sail Merchant Group laughed.
"Divine Emperor, it seems the effect is good."
"Hmm."
The clown on stage glanced around the venue, listening to the torrent of curses.
"Everyone, no need to get excited, I’m not the host, I’m just here to announce that today’s entire process is notarized by Paradise; we’ve signed a temporary contract with Paradise."
The clown tore open his chest, revealing a mark on his chest.
The curses below ceased, as the Black Flag Trading Company’s reputation wasn’t great; if it hadn’t been explained in advance, it might’ve affected the auction, but the mark on the disgraceful clown reassured people.
The clown comically ran off the stage, and a man in a suit walked onto the stage.
"Hello everyone, welcome to today’s auction, this auction..."
"Save the talk, just bring up the lot!"
A muscular man in the front row roared, chewing on a piece of raw meat with large bites.
"Ahem~, alright then, as contractors, we’ll skip the formalities and start the auction!"
With the host’s words, the first lot was brought on stage.
Seeing this lot, the audience below erupted.
"No way! This guy is..."
"Hey, hey, this auction is getting more interesting."
The reason the audience was so shocked was that the first lot was a human.
That’s right, a human, and a half-blood human elf at that.
"Elf clan, female, has signed a Servant Contract, bidding starts at 100,000 Paradise coins."
The female elf’s basic attributes were revealed, and only some skills were shown.
The female elf stood on stage, arms crossed, timidly looking at the bidders below.
Crazy Healer from down below wasn’t too pleased; this was a lot from the Black Sail Merchant Group, something the God Emperor group wouldn’t sell.
"130,000 Paradise coins!"
A loud shout came from the back, although one could use a number plate to enter a bid, shouting out showed more momentum.
This elf clan was intended for combat; whether or not she could develop further or go all the way depended on the individual contractor.
If excessive demands were made, the servant would strongly resist, and the Servant Contract would be determined invalid; not all servants are as loyal as Bubu Wang, willing to die for their master.
This servant wasn’t weak in combat, and she wouldn’t stab you in the back, making her very popular among contractors.
The first item was obviously meant to surprise, and the Black Sail Merchant Group accomplished that.
The female elf eventually sold for 170,000 Paradise coins, the bidder being a female contractor.
The female elf was very happy, as she feared being bought by a male contractor.
"Don’t worry, from now on, I have your back."
The female contractor took the female elf’s hand, and the elf nodded quickly, her favorability significantly heightened.
"You see, if you keep wrecking the house, I’ll auction you off."
Su Xiao looked at Bubu Wang, who raised his head defiantly, throwing a disdainful expression, looking very silly.
Bubu Wang was unconvinced; you also wrecked the house yesterday.
...
The second lot was a mage weapon, of purple quality.
The mages in the venue were fired up; magic wands were rare, and purple quality ones were even more so, making the auction atmosphere reach a climax.
This wasn’t an item from the Divine Emperor or the Black Sail Merchant Group but was provided by another contractor; they shared a cut from the successful bid, a win-win situation.
Starting from the third lot, the items’ prices began to decrease, prepared for ordinary contractors.
Su Xiao had previously spent some Paradise coins, now left with 80,706 points.
The fourth item, the fifth item, one after another were auctioned off.
Ordinary contractors were quite excited, while the contractors at the front rows weren’t very interested, as they didn’t care for these things.
