To think that the highest bidders would be two people from out of the town. Looks like the players of Ba Huang City arenât too well off. I glanced at the list of bids. For the Flames of War, Fallen Wolf first offered 970,000, and then Not Ordinary offered 1,100,000. That was the price an hour ago. Then nothing happened for an hour. The God Destroyer Mace had an initial offering of 1,000,000 before Quick Thunder Swift Wind overturned it with his offer.
And thus, I stayed on and waited to see who the final owner of these equipments would be, At the same time, I began to filter through [Zhan Long]âs top ten close combat players. Only those players were fit to get an armor as top tier as these Desolate Sky Armor Sets. Besides, we were also getting ready for tomorrowâs City War Battle, so we needed to give out these sets as soon as possible.
In the guild chat, I announced the rankings that I calculated myself ââ
1. General Li Mu 84 Swordsman
2. General Wang Jian 83 Swordsman
3. Hero Ran Min 82 Berserker
4. Strawberry Matcha 82 Phantom Knight
5. General Bai Qi 82 Berserker
6. Cang Lei 82 Berserkern/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
7. One Second Hero 81 Knight
8. Calm 81 Swordsman
9. Wang Jiang 81 Berserker
10. Moon Feather 81 Swordsman
11. Winter Snow 81 Swordsman
12. Tearless 81 Knight
13. Star Blade 81 Swordsman
14. Tang Xing 80 Knight
15. Little Demon 81 Knight
â¦â¦
These are all the top ranked close combat players in [Zhan Long]âs main guild, excluding myself. After all, no matter how strong the Desolate Sky Armor set was, it wasnât as strong as my Saint Tier + Valkyrie Tier + Emperor Tier set. After I sent out the rankings, I smiled and said into the guild chat, âLi Mu, Dancing Forest and I, some of the core players of [Zhan Long], have gotten 10 sets of Desolate Sky armor in the Grave of the Warring States. The stats are extremely strong, and right now I want to choose 10 people from [Zhan Long] to receive these 10 sets. The players that have been chosen can choose either to take the armor or not. If you choose to take it, 50% of your guild points will be taken in return. Come join meâ¦â
Soon after, Li Mu, Wang Jian, Old K, Matcha, and Bai Qi all chose to forfeit. Clearly, these strong players didnât need armor like this. Cang Lei on the other hand smiled, âIâm already Lv 81 and Yue Er* didnât give me any other good equipment. Brother Xiao Yao, Iâll take one setâ¦â
Note: Referring to Dong Cheng Yue
I nodded with a smile, âOk!â
One Second Hero also grinned, âIt gives so much health and attack. How about I take one too. Itâs just 50% of my guild points. I didnât have that many in the first placeâ¦â
I laughed, âYong Jie, tomorrow in the struggle for the talismans, you need to put in more effort. A fourth advancement Knight is pretty strong. Nobody can stop you from crashing around the placeâ¦â
One Second Hero confidently said, âDonât worry. Rushing around on the front lines was my original plan!â
Moon Feather shyly said, âI⦠I didnât think that I would be among the top 15 heavy armor types⦠Guild Master, can I celebrate for a second? Iâm in [Zhan Long]âs top fifteenâ¦â¦â
I couldnât help but laugh, âYep. Donât be too happy though, once you get that armor, everyone can help develop [Zhan Long] even further. Besides Li Mu, Matcha, and the other 5, there arenât any issues concerning the other 10 right? If there arenât, then these last 8 sets of Desolate Sky Armor will go to you guys.â
Star Blade, Tang Xing, and the others all didnât have any arguments. Thus, Li Mu took the sets and gave them to the others. This time I was also able to rank the top 15 heavy armor players in [Zhan Long]. Without a second thought, I knew that as long as they stay loyal to [Zhan Long], they will definitely become the core of [Zhan Long]âs strength in guild battles. Future battlefields will change because of these people!
â¦â¦
Once all of the Desolate Sky Armor sets were give out, I continued to wait. When the clock strikes 12, the Flames of War Magic Blade and the God Destroyer Mace prices would set. After the last bid, Cang Cheng made an offer of 1,400,000, becoming the highest bidder. Ye Lai stood beside National Beauty, and immediately made another bid for 1,500,000. But he didnât expect Wang Ze Cheng to raise the price again, all the way to 1,700,000!
âDing!â The time was up. The Flames of War Magic Blade was taken by Cang Cheng for 1,700,000. It was a long handle type equipment, which isnât good for movement. This kind of equipment was best for classes like Knights. Besides, I could tell as well, that Wang Ze Cheng really isnât lacking in money. 1,700,000 to him was like loose change, he didnât even hesitate when he dropped that much money for the blade. As for the God Destroyer Mace, it went through two more increases in price, finally ending up back with Quick Thunder Swift Wind for 1,600,000!
I picked up my sword and walked over to National Beauty. Ye Lai also had his battle axe in hand. He slapped his thigh and looked over at me, and ranted, âF*ck, I never thought that there would be someone with so much money in Ba Huang City. Whenever he raised the bid, he would raise it 100,000 a time. I give up. This Flames of War Magic Blade really isnât fated to be with me. Nevermind⦠my battle axe only has 20% less attack than thatâ¦â¦â
I was speechless. Finally I said, âIf you came to Ba Huang City and wanted the Flames of War Blade, you shouldâve told me. Then, I couldâve cut down the time and let you take it earlierâ¦â
âAyeâ¦â Ye Lai gave a long sigh, âWho would I have thought that Cang Cheng that little bastard had so much money? I miscalculated, miscalculatedâ¦â
I couldnât help but smile, âYouâre wrong. Cang Cheng isnât just any kid. Nevermind, talking about this is meaningless to you. Oh, thatâs right. Ye Lai, tomorrow the City of the Four Noblemen in Ba Huang City will spawn. This is the Chinese Serverâs first guild base. Being in Jiu Li City, you really donât have any interest in this city, right?â
Ye Lai gave another sigh and said, â[Judgement] has already set its foundations in Jiu Li City. Besides, I talked about this with Fang Ge Que before and agreed that [Judgement] would not send its armies to the city. If I donât, then [Legend] wonât either. I heard that Mu Xuan and Gong Zi Ying, those pretty little girls, arenât going to make any moves on it either. So, brother, donât worry too much. Your strongest enemy is probably going to be Ba Huang Cityâs [Vanguard] and [Prague]. After all, thereâs an entire main city between Fan Shu City and City of the Four Noblemen, so guilds like [Heroâs Mound], [House of Prestige], and [Emerald Porcelain] probably wonât participate either.â
I cheerfully nodded, âIf there was only [Vanguard] and [Prague] to deal with, then everything would be much easierâ¦â
Ye Lie wryly smiled, âYup. I hope that [Zhan Long] gets all 10 of those Army Talismans. Oh no⦠I hope that you, Xiao Yao Zi Zai gets those 10 Talismans. This City War is actually focused on each of the powerful individuals. If you obtain all ten of the Talismans, you get all the power in that city. Players will probably be trying to kill each other to get the Talismans. [Zhan Long] better work hard!â
Ye Lai took out a City Return Scroll. Before he crushed it, he looked up at me and said, â[Judgement] and [Legend] have already made an alliance, so even if [Zhan Long] has any troubles during the City struggle, I canât go and help you guys. On top of that, men must follow through with their promises. I, Ye Lai, will definitely stand by my word. Therefore, youâve got to rely on yourself during this battle.â
I smiled and nodded, âGosh, you need to put more trust in me. I will come out victorious!â
âAlright!â
Ye Lai crushed his City Return Scroll and smiled as he teleported, âThe alliance between you and I will exist forever!â
I nodded, âYup, we shall always treat each other with sincerity, forever and always!â
â¦â¦
I watched as Ye Lai left. I took out the money we earned from selling the two weapons and split it 10 ways. I then sent the other 9 parts out. Everyone got 300,000. This was definitely a good amount of money.
âDi!â
Wan Er sent a message, âHey, thereâs 335,000RMB. With that much money, what do you plan on doing with it?â
I smiled, âI wasnât planning on anything. Iâm thinking⦠Iâm going to buy a car of some sort. Otherwise, Iâll have to take a taxi whenever I want to go somewhere, itâs too annoyingâ¦â¦â
âOh?â Wan Er opened up her messenger and giggled, âWhat car is our Brother Xiao Yao looking at? I have a lot of friends in Hang Zhouâs car sellers. Tell me, what kind do you want?â
I thought about it for a second, âThe Audi A4, 2017 versionâ¦what do you think Wan Er?â
Wan Er pouted her lower lip, âThat⦠is a pretty good choice. Even though the engine might not be that excellent, but as your car you wonât have a problem driving it around normal roads. Also, itâs pretty cheap, around 400,000RMB. I can find a person whoâll give you a discount, around 350,000. Are you going to use all the money from the Flames of War Magic Blade and the God Destroyer Mace to buy the A4?â
âYup!â I nodded, âI absolutely need something to drive. Otherwise, it wouldnât make sense. Ay⦠itâs much easier getting money in game. I donât even have to wait for your dad to give me my salary, whenever that will beâ¦â¦â
âIs that soâ¦âWan Er gave me a dimpled smile, âHonestly, I was planning on waiting until after your birthday to send you a quality sports car, in the end⦠you bought one yourselfâ¦â¦â
I waved my hand, âNah, itâs fine. If you sent me that it wouldnât be that proper. Besides, Iâm a man, I canât just eat food off your hand all the time.â
âThatâs trueâ¦â¦â Wan Er smiled, âOur Brother Xiao Yao is [Zhan Long]âs Guild Master and a famous person in Ba Huang City. If youâre gonna buy a car, then you should rely only on yourself. As for what color you want, Iâll help you connect with a seller to buy it!â
âLetâs get a white one then, make it low key.â
âThatâ¦that really is low keyâ¦â¦â
âMust be soâ¦â¦â
â¦â¦
After I talked it over with Wan Er, I transferred 350,000 RMB to Wan Erâs account. After that, I just have to wait for the car. On top of that, Wan Erâs basically just waiting for a single word before she can get the car. After all, she is the little miss of the Tian Jin Group. Tian Jin Group manufactures everything from weapons to heavy industrial products. I donât know how many firms all favor this little princess from the Tian Jin Group!
After that, I needed to deal with some other guild business. There were some newbies I needed to introduce to the guild, and then I had to talk with Moon Feather, Star Blade, Tearless, and Thousand League Springs, and make sure I break them into the guild as well. As a Guild Master, I needed to build relations with my guild members, otherwise if I spent all day with the little miss, I would actually distance myself from everyone else.
I worked all the way until 3 a.m. After that, I logged off and rested.
â¦â¦
After a night of silence, I woke up to find that it was 10 in the morning. After washing up, I talked with Tang Gu about some stuff regarding the battle for the city. Afterwards, I put on a clean set of clothes and walked towards the girlâs dorm. After eating a large lunch with Wan Er, Dong Cheng Yue, and Tang Qi, I returned to my dorm and prepared for a great battle. All of the guilds in Ba Huang City were going to be going after these 10 Talismans. Besides, there might even be a few other outsider guilds who wanted to join in. This competition for the city will definitely let us battle to our heartâs content.
