Doomsday: I Obtained A Fallen Angel Pet At The Start Of The Game - Chapter 76
Chapter 76: Auction House, The Last Fragment Of The Treasure Map!
The next day, early in the morning, Stark and Chris got up and rushed to the auction house of the Seda Stronghold.
He had carefully stored the world-destroying bomb he had obtained yesterday into the system space.
At the entrance of the Seda auction house, two guards instantly reached out to stop the two of them.
They spoke with an unfriendly expression, “Pay 2,000 crystals to obtain the right to enter the auction house.”
It was indeed not so easy to enter the auction house.
Since one could enter the auction house, they naturally had a certain amount of resources and status. Hence, the stronghold also wanted to squeeze out as much money from these people as possible.
2,000 crystals for the right to enter the auction house wasn’t cheap at all.
“That, leave it to me.”
Daphne wanted to pay like last time. However, she was stopped by Stark.
This money was naturally nothing to him. He directly took out the crystals to pay the bill.
“These are the admission tickets. Keep them well!”
When the guard saw that the crystals had been paid, he didn’t bother too much and stuffed the two admission tickets into Stark’s hands.
At this moment, Daphne was also a little stunned as she watched from the side.
She did not expect that someone who had never come to a human stronghold would have so much money.
However, Stark did not explain so much to her. He walked into the auction house!
Although it was called an auction house, it was actually a theater that had been slightly decorated.
On the stage, there was a host holding a hammer and waving it continuously. In front of him was a huge podium with some microphones and other tools placed on it.
Seeing this scene, Daphne immediately explained to Stark.
Although there was no electricity in the apocalypse, as long as Transcendent humans could use lightning and other things, they could still use electrical appliances.
The current Seda Stronghold was one of them!
Hearing that, Stark’s eyes lit up. He was also inspired by this point.
In terms of ability, his strongest skill right now was lightning!
If he used it well in the future, he might be able to use electrical appliances in the villa.
However, he naturally did not have the time to think so much.
It was because the auction in front of him had attracted his full attention.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, all the seats were filled.
“I won’t go into details about the rules of this auction house.
“There are only three rules. First, each person’s single bid increment time is ten seconds.
“Second, each increment must not be lower than the amount of the previous increment.
“Third, after each transaction is completed, the buyer must pay on the spot!
“Now, the auction officially begins!”
After a loud bang, the host took out a necklace.
“The first item for auction, D-grade equipment, silver light necklace. Starting bid, 5000 crystals!”
The staff member’s voice rang out.
“D-grade equipment?!”
“Haha, I’m sorry, but this equipment just happens to be what I want. I’ll bid first!”
“I bid 6,000 crystals!”
“I bid 8,000 crystals!”
A brawny man said with a smile. It was a piece of D-rank equipment. For those who were only level 20 in the Seda Stronghold, it just so happened that they needed this equipment.
Immediately, everyone in the seats began to bid as well.
Actually, they did not know the exact attributes of this D-rank item. After all, the auctioneer in the stronghold was only responsible for appraising the weapon’s level.
However, just knowing that this equipment was D-grade was enough for them to fight over it!
“Dong! 12,000 crystals. Three times. This gentleman has succeeded. May I ask if you would like to pay with crystals or exchange it with a similar-leveled item?” the staff on the stage immediately asked.
“I will exchange it with three E-grade defensive pieces of equipment!” a man on the viewing platform immediately said.
The current value of a D-grade item was indeed equivalent to three E-grade pieces of equipment.
“Alright, you can exchange for it!” the auctioneer immediately replied.
Looking at the simple auction process in front of him, Stark had a rough idea in his heart!
He could use crystals, as well as exchange for it with other items of similar value!
This was considered convenient for Stark, as it saved him the trouble of selling items in exchange for crystals.
“The second item! An exquisite E-grade staff! The starting price is 2,000 crystals!” the host took out a staff that was emitting a faint bronze light and said.
“Only an E-grade staff? There’s someone bidding for it?”
“Who said there’s no one bidding? My sister just happens to be level-12, so this E-grade staff is just right for her! I’ll bid for it!”
“3,000 crystals!”
“4,000 crystals!”
In the end, this E-grade staff was bought by the person who said he wanted to give a gift to his sister at a high price of 6,000 crystals.
“Alright, next is D-grade defensive equipment: Flowery Umbrella. The starting bid is also 5,000 crystals…”
After auctioning off the E-grade staff, the host once again started on the next item.
The following seven or eight items were all D-grade, so Stark did not pay too much attention to them.
He closed his eyes and concentrated.
Time passed very quickly.
Finally, a loud voice sounded.
“Silence. Next up is the bidding for C-grade equipment. I don’t need to say much about the preciousness of gold-grade equipment! One gold grade equipment is enough to instantly increase your strength!
“Therefore, this C-rank dazzling gold longbow will be auctioned off for 20,000 crystals!”
After selling several D-rank items, it was finally time for one of the main events of this auction, C-rank equipment!
The auction staff immediately brandished their iron hammers and took out the dazzling gold longbow!
However, just as they took out this golden longbow, a strange sound rang out from below.
“It’s so expensive! The starting bid is 20,000! If you want to buy a piece of gold equipment, it’s only around 50,000. F*ck, you want 20,000 at the auction right now. Won’t you suffer a huge loss when you get it?!”
However, before this person could complain more, all kinds of voices came from the side.
“Hehe, if you don’t want it, I’ll buy it. I’ll give you 30,000!”
An archer immediately spoke up.
The Archer class could be considered a semi-rare class. Although it wasn’t as unusual as the genuinely rare classes, it was still tough to obtain a suitable weapon.
This archer had just reached level 22 and urgently needed a powerful piece of equipment.
Thus, he immediately decided to bid for it.
But he was not the only one who had the same thought.
The moment he opened his mouth, the voices of the other archers also rang out.
“I bid 50,000 crystals!”
In the blink of an eye, several minutes passed.
After an intense bidding war, this gold-tier dazzling gold longbow was finally bought by an archer at a price of 120,000 crystals.
“Cough, cough, I don’t need to say what’s going to be auctioned next. Everyone should already know what it is!
“Naturally, it’s the final item of this auction!
“That’s right. It’s a ‘treasure map fragment’!”
As the auctioneer’s voice became louder and louder, a blueprint appeared in his hands!
It was a treasure map fragment!
At this moment, it was emitting a faint golden light!
The moment the treasure map fragment appeared, the onlookers’ eyes were wide open. It caused an uproar.
That was a treasure map fragment!
As long as they gathered ten pieces, they would be able to obtain a complete treasure map. At the end, they would be able to dig a gold treasure chest!
This meant that as long as they gathered the treasure map, they would at least be able to obtain one piece of gold equipment!
If one was lucky, they could even get platinum equipment.
Just this possibility alone was enough to drive everyone crazy!
