Chapter 39: High-Level Equipment Auction Ended!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was even a set of refined iron that had reached 1,500 units.
At this moment, Mike.
Had already calmed his originally anxious mood.
The auction was successful!
Even if it stopped now, he had gathered enough refined iron to upgrade the Dragon King Castle and build the [Holy Dragon Palace].
Mike was in a good mood.
He turned to look at the world chat channel.
Compared to the past few days, the world chat channel was even more popular.
Mike’s auction had already caused a huge sensation, and the Castle Lords were all excited.
Adding to that, the castle’s protective shield would disappear at 6 am.
The Beast Tide was about to arrive.
How could the billions of Castle Lords still have the mood to sleep?
Even Mike could not fall asleep.
He was worried that after the protective shield disappeared, the wild monsters wandering outside the castle would directly charge in.
[The bosses are too crazy! Refined iron is an important resource for leveling up a town. Moreover, the price of refined iron is ridiculously high now. The bosses did not even blink and desperately bid!]
[The Beast Tide is about to arrive. How can leveling up a castle be more important than high-tier equipment?]
[Once the auction is over, the price of refined iron will immediately drop! As the strength of the castle lord grows stronger, refined iron will also become more and more popular. In the end, it will be like wood and stone, and it will be considered as an ordinary resource.]
[At that time, town-level castles will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and large numbers of them will appear!]
[Looking forward to it!!]
[Mike: No matter what you say, I’ll make a killing tonight!]
[I envy big brother Mike!]
[Speaking of which, why doesn’t Mike add me as a friend? I’ve applied many times, but all of them were rejected! Are you looking down on me? Come out and give me an explanation!!]
[Who do you think you are?]
[You’re self-righteous, so what if I look down on you?]
[You’re not even a high-level or top-tier Castle Lord. So what if I look down on you?]
[Yeah, those high-level or top-tier bosses haven’t said anything yet. Besides, isn’t it normal not to add you?]
[…]
Mike immediately closed the world chat channel.
It was normal for him not to add him as a friend.
In the past few days, the Castle Lords who added him as a friend every day ranged from 10 to 20 million to as high as 80 million.
If he added all of them as friends, just the information bombardment alone would make his head explode.
Not to mention ordinary Castle Lords, he did not even add any high-level or top-level Castle Lords.
For example, Bella, who had top-level seraphs, was rejected many times by him.
Until now.
He only had one good friend, the little loli.
When he was free, he would chat with the little loli from the underground world. It was very relaxing.
The more good friends he had, the more things he would be involved in.
Mike was also someone who did not like the trouble.
When he faced problems, he liked to solve them in a simple and crude way.
…
Very soon, the three-hour auction time finally ended.
All ten sets of high-level equipment had been assigned to them.
At the Angel Castle.
Bella stood on the balcony of the top floor of the castle, wearing simple leather armor. She looked at the wild monsters outside and let out a long sigh of relief.
“The competition for high-tier equipment is very intense.”
“But I still managed to get a set. It wasn’t easy!”
She took out the set of high-tier equipment and put it on.
She suddenly felt a strong sense of security.
With this set of high-level equipment, her own safety was guaranteed. Whether it was to clear out the berserk monsters outside the city or to deal with the Beast Tide that could come at any time, it was of great importance.
“The only thing that’s lacking is that my heart inexplicably aches!”
High-level equipment was not magical equipment after all.
It would definitely become a common item in the future.
And now, in order to obtain high-tier equipment, she had used up a large amount of precious refined iron, which made her feel uncomfortable.
The refined iron was gone.
In order to exchange for refined iron, the wood and stones that she had stored up were also gone.
This directly affected the path of upgrading [Angel Castle]. It was impossible to upgrade the castle into a town in a short period of time.
In terms of the development of the castle, participating in this auction was a huge loss.
“Only Mike will benefit!”
“He is the biggest winner!”
Bella was very envious.
She guessed that Mike, who had become rich overnight, would immediately upgrade the castle into a town.
He would once again widen the gap between him and the other Castle Lords.
“This is something that can not be helped.”
“As the first person to eat the crab, Mike will always be the biggest beneficiary!”
“But this doesn’t mean that Mike will always be able to eat the crab!”
“The upcoming Beast Tide event is my chance!”
Looking at the brand new high-level equipment on her body.
Bella gradually had the confidence to catch up with Mike.
The other top castle lords who had obtained high-level equipment also had similar thoughts like Bella.
Now, their own safety was guaranteed.
They could go all out and conquer the Beast Tide.
All the top-tier Castle Lords wanted to obtain the only reward to suppress Mike.
Conquering all the races was their goal in the future.
At this stage, surpassing Mike, who was known as the strongest Castle Lord, was the most important thing.
…
In the underground world, in the gray dwarf castle.
The little loli excitedly counted the refined iron that she had obtained.
“Ten high-level equipment, a total of 15,600 units of refined iron, so much! !”
“So much refined iron.”
“My castle needs at least a week to be forged!”
At this stage, auctioning equipment was a huge profit.
For 15,600 units of refined iron, she could get 40% , which was 6,240 units of refined iron.
At this moment, Caroline suddenly hesitated.
“It’s enough for now that Linlin’s castle has been upgraded to an advanced level.”
“There’s no need to prepare to upgrade to a town.”
“We’ll talk about it after the Beast Tide event.”
“Big Mike has been preparing to upgrade to a town. He needs this batch of refined iron very much.”
After thinking for a moment, the little loli decided to transfer all the refined iron from the auction to Mike.
She wasn’t in a hurry to store the refined iron.
Moreover, her castle itself had the ability to forge refined iron.
If she wanted refined iron, she could forge it in the future.
At this stage, she felt that Mike needed refined iron more than she did.
Thinking of this, the little loli decisively put the refined iron on the shelf of the [space exchange] and designated the buyer as Mike. The exchange price was also one unit of food.
“Big Mike will definitely be very happy!”
“Hehe…”
…
Dragon King Castle.
Mike saw the information of the little loli from the underground world.
He didn’t expect that the little loli had forwarded all the refined iron auctioned this time to him and did not take 40% of it.
This somewhat surprised Mike.
But after thinking about it, he still did not refuse.
“Consider it part of the deal!”
Mike was quite touched. “Send the food over tomorrow!”
There was a deal between them.
Although the little loli said that this batch of refined iron was a gift to him, he still felt that he could not take it for free.
