Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 129

Chapter 129 China Auction House
The fourth day after New World was reopened.

During these four days, Xu You and Buqu stayed in the Vagrant Cave to train. During this period, apart from going out to do prestige missions, Xu You never left the Vagrant Cave again. As a result, their level had risen to half of LV22.

However, something important had happened in the past few days. For example, the Guild Leaders of the two Big Mac Guilds had obtained hidden professions at almost the same time. Among them, Frost Mage had changed from Frost Mage to Ice Emperor, and one could easily tell the name they had chosen. Meanwhile, Blood Rose had changed from Assassin to Night Sovereign, a very domineering profession name.

The guild leaders of the two great guilds were like a competition. They chased after each other. Not only did they often switch positions on the rankings, they even changed their hidden professions at the same time. It had to be said that this pair of men and women were born to be sworn enemies. However, the fact that Bingfeng admired the blood-colored roses was almost known to everyone, so the gossip rumors were all over the place.

Of course, Xu You also knew that Bingfeng was in love with the Blood Rose, but he wasn’t paying attention to this. Rather, it took the two of them more than a month to obtain a hidden profession. Wasn’t this a bit too long? Xu You didn’t believe that the two guilds had only recently found their own hidden profession missions, so when Xu You said “long”, he meant that they had been doing the hidden profession missions for a long time, not searching for the hidden profession missions for a long time. And with this speculation, how strong would the hidden profession of these two masters be?

It didn’t take long for Xu You and Buqu to complete the Hidden Profession Quest. However, Xu You believed that their Hidden Profession wouldn’t be inferior to the two Guilds Leaders. Just how strong his Halo Knights were was because he knew his own business, so he didn’t need to tell anyone.

The difficulty of an unyielding profession mission was not necessarily easier than the others. If Xu You did not have the powerful halo skill of ‘Aura of Divine Speed’, their team would have waited until at least LV30 to help Unyielding defeat the Stone Giant and complete the mission. This was because the Stone Giant’s ability was too abnormal.

After pondering for a while, Xu You put aside the matter of the two Guild Leaders hiding their professions and focused his attention on the matter that attracted people’s attention in the past few days, that is, the appearance of a private auction house.

The private auction house was actually an auction house set up by players. Compared to the system auction house, the advantages and disadvantages of the private auction house were obvious.

Let’s talk about the benefits first. The biggest advantage of a private auction house is that it can hold an auction. This way, the seller’s goods can be sold for a better price, and the buyer can get the information about the items in advance. He won’t miss out on what he wants because the auction will definitely be advertised in advance. In this way, the buyer and seller will get the profit.

In addition, if some of the less valuable items were sold in a private auction house, the handling fee would be much cheaper, at least cheaper than the system auction house. Otherwise, no one would sell anything in a private auction house.

There were also some additional benefits. For example, buying and selling items at auctions would be much more prestigious. Those wealthy and influential figures liked to enter and leave the auction, and there were even more handsome and beautiful women. Therefore, the auction was another famous and attractive place.

Talk about the downsides of a private auction house, The downside is obvious, is that the information of the buyer and seller is kept confidential, Well, of course, a good private auction would do the trick, However, no matter how well they did, there would at least be some people inside the auction house who knew about the buyer’s information. This made people uncomfortable. They were afraid that their information would be leaked out. After all, there were some sellers who sold things that could not be seen. Some buyers did not like others to know what they had bought.

However, even so, private auction houses were still very popular, because there were already auction houses in China’s game world. There was a certain amount of credibility guarantee. They did not compete for hegemony, but only earned money. They were a special group in the game world.

Of the three most prominent private auction houses that have recently emerged, Two of them were old faces. They were the Traveling Dragon Auction House and the Brilliant Auction House. Their background in the real world was the famous Traveling Dragon Chamber of Commerce and the Brilliant Business Alliance. They were old enemies. They were competitors in every major game, but they were undoubtedly powerful players.

As for the remaining auction house, its strength and background were unknown. The reason it was famous was because it had a very domineering name-Huaxia Auction House.

One could tell from the name that the auction house’s ambition was not small, but how would it develop in the future? Many people were skeptical and joking. Why did you get such a name for an auction house? Aren’t you afraid that a tornado would sweep it away?

Another important reason why the Huaxia Auction House was known by the players within two to three days was that the Huaxia Auction House had spent a large sum of money to publish a full-service announcement, which rang three times in the ears of the full-service players. This was equivalent to a group of ridicule, so that not many people were optimistic about the new auction house.

However, Xu You was very interested in this Huaxia Auction House. Because he felt that the owner of the auction house was very courageous, wanting to see who it was and who was backing it up, Xu You quickly decided to go to the Huaxia Auction House. Anyway, many of the unbound equipment and drawings he had obtained in Difficulty Cave of East Sea were still in the warehouse, so he decided to settle it by the way this time.

It is now past 3 p.m., Originally, he and Unyielding had just finished their prestige mission, The orc warriors really learned the sidelines of forging and mining, so Xu You became a loner. In recent days, neither Qing Wu nor the Dawn Sisters had been online. Qing Wu had already dropped out of the rankings because she hadn’t trained yet.

So Xu You was lonely. Since that was the case, why not have some fun? Therefore, Xu You was looking for fun when he went to the Huaxia Auction House.

Xu You spent a gold coin to arrive at the Ox-head’s main city, Haiwang Cliff, through the teleportation array. The reason he came here was because the Huaxia Auction House was here.

Recently, these auction houses have come out one after another, some houses were built in the main cities for their headquarters and auction houses, The three most famous auction houses were located in three different main cities. The Traveling Dragon Auction House was located in City of Sunrise, the Glorious Auction House was located in the Forest of Elves, the Huaxia Auction House was located in Wanghai Cliff, and the remaining small auction houses were located in other main cities.

Xu You first went to the private warehouse of the Sea Watching Cliff and took out what he wanted to sell (the player’s personal warehouse was connected to all the main cities). There were a total of 18 pieces of green unbound equipment. There was one piece of blue equipment, 15 green blueprints, and three blue blueprints. The quantity was not large, but it was impossible to sell them directly to NPCs. It was useless to store them in the warehouse. Xu You was too busy before, and he had forgotten about this, so he had never cleaned up these items.

After Xu You took out all these items, he slowly walked towards the place where the Huaxia Auction House was located. On the way, Xu You also sent a few messages to the two brothers. They both used Haiwang Cliff as their main city, so they wanted to find them to meet and blow the water. It was funny to say that the three brothers had never met in the game.

However, Zhang Ping and Wei Mingyuan seemed to be practicing leveling. They didn’t want to go back to the city. Xu You could only wander around alone. After looking at the map for about ten minutes, Xu You finally arrived at Mogao Lei Square, a bustling southern area of the Sea Watching Cliff. On the right side of the square was a tall and spacious building. It was the Huaxia Auction House.

However, Xu You looked at the Huaxia Auction House in front of him and felt that this did not fit his image of the auction house. He muttered to himself, “This house is big, but why is it so simple and crude? Is it made of wood? Could it be that the architectural style of the Tauren is so arduous and simple?”

Fortunately, Xu You did not say these words. None of the tauren NPCs heard him. Otherwise, even if he was full of charm, he would still be beaten up by the tauren here. These buildings were the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the tauren ancestors. The tauren loved and respected nature, and the buildings had their simple beauty. How could a human be allowed to slander and despise them?

Xu You sighed. He walked into the Huaxia Auction House, Although the auction house is a little crude, However, the area was still very large. It was not much different from a small square. It was roughly circular. The auction house was divided into many areas, by occupation, by item type, by quality and so on. There were many display stands in these areas. Behind the stands were many staff members, all of whom were players. It seemed that the Huaxia Auction House was still in a good shape.

However, there weren’t many players coming to the auction house to buy and sell things. However, this was a new auction house after all. Haiwang Cliff wasn’t the main city where most players were stationed, so it was good that it wasn’t deserted.

Actually, this Huaxia Auction House was only famous for its name and advertisements. It was originally a bit of a sensationalism. It was normal for players not to trust this auction house. However, if they dared to use the word “Huaxia” as their name, Xu You felt that there might be a powerful backer behind this auction house, or perhaps the owner of the auction house was some famous figure.

Of course, this was just a guess. Xu You was so idle that his eggs hurt. He was tired of leveling up and there was no one to accompany him. He might as well come over and confirm his thoughts. However, after coming, Xu You was somewhat disappointed.

It wasn’t that the scale wasn’t enough, but that he couldn’t prove anything at all, because he could only wander around this hall, and couldn’t go anywhere else. There were a few rooms behind this hall that caught his attention, but he couldn’t enter. There were special NPC guards blocking him, so he couldn’t force his way in, right?

Therefore, Xu You could only randomly find a female staff member who sold knights’ equipment to inquire about the news, and call that staff member a salesperson. Because this auction house only had sales service for the time being, the auction house could not afford it.

“Beauty, what do you have here?” Xu You asked.

The saleswoman’s name was Huaxia No.107. She smiled and said, “This is where the green equipment of knights is sold. Which branch of knights’ profession are you? How many levels are you at?”

“Disciplinary Knight, Level 20.” Xu You casually reported the information.

“Alright, please wait a moment.” Huaxia No.107 sifted through his bag, then took out the equipment and placed it on the display stand in front of him. Very quickly, Xu You could see the specific information of the equipment.

However, Xu You lost interest after a casual glance. The reason he came here was not to buy equipment. He only saw Xu You casually pointing at one of the Level 20 unbound breastplates and asking, “How much do you sell this breastplate for?”

“5 gold and 98 silver, the same price.” Replied the salesman.

“The price is reasonable and the attributes are better than mine, but it’s not worth it.” Xu You quickly came to an evaluation. Generally speaking, the items sold here were priceless unless the seller had a special explanation.

“Well, if I want to sell something on consignment, how do I get it?” Xu You felt that it was time to probe.

“What are you selling? How much do you have?” Huaxia No.107 asked cautiously.

“There are quite a few of them. Can you make the decision?” Xu You asked.

“How many?” Sales assistant MM is still the same problem.

Xu You glanced left and right. Then, he slowly took the items out of his bag and placed them on the display platform between him and the salesman. This display platform seemed to be very special. No one could take the items on it, only the attributes. It was really strange, but it was precisely this way that Xu You dared to take the items out.

However, after Xu You took out about 10 pieces of equipment, the salesman MM stopped him and said to Xu You, “Sir, you don’t need to take them out. I can’t make the decision. Please follow me.”

“Hehe, there’s a show now …” Xu You knew that he could learn more about the auction house. After packing up his belongings, he followed Huaxia No. 107 to the second floor. However, this second floor was not from the stairs, but through a teleportation array. The teleportation array was in one of the rooms that Xu You could not enter. This made Xu You somewhat happy. Could it be that this auction house was really awesome? This kind of teleportation array was definitely not something that could be obtained casually.
