"Guild leader, aren\'t you interested in these Silver Tears this time?" Seth asked respectfully, bowing slightly.
Blue Sea chuckled, "How could I not be? Although we no longer need them for their undead-killing effects, they are still very useful for leveling up. But since Miss Isabella mentioned there are many epic-tier Silver Tears available today, we\'ll hold off for now. See how calm those guys are?"
Seth nodded in understanding, chuckling lightly, "True, these players on the first floor don\'t realize that our resources and wealth far exceed theirs. We have ample reserves of gold coins. Once we make our move, they can only watch and sigh."
Blue Sea\'s brow furrowed slightly, his expression turning serious, "You\'re getting a bit arrogant lately. Remember, always stay humble and low-key. Don\'t underestimate others!"
Realizing his guild leader was slightly irritated, Seth quickly moderated his expression and bowed in acknowledgement.
In the main hall on the first floor.
BlazingStorm, expressionless and composed, kept his gaze fixed on Isabella on the stage. His voice resounded firmly, "Sixty thousand gold coins! Continue, everyone. No matter how high you go, I\'ll follow through to the end."
Many players turned to look at him, surprised at the young solo player\'s assertive stance.
"This guy... he\'s really resolute and bold!" Many showed envious expressions, wishing they could also spend so generously, but were hampered by limited funds.
"Has he gone overboard with that price? Could it be a rash decision?"
Whispers of doubt circulated among the players. BlazingStorm heard their murmurs and smiled slightly. He had already calculated his bottom line. The reason for his firm bidding for the first set of epic-tier Silver Tears was that he needed their help to complete an important quest. As long as the quest was completed, his investment today would undoubtedly pay off.
His equipment shimmered with an even brighter golden light as he calmly stated, "I\'m very interested in these epic-tier Silver Tears. No price is too high for me."
The players on the first floor whispered among themselves, surprised by BlazingStorm\'s confidence. For the big shots on the second floor, BlazingStorm\'s bid had piqued their interest. This solo player\'s generosity had them feeling a bit of schadenfreude.
The auction continued, with the bidding becoming more and more fervent. In a short time, the price for the first set of Silver Tears had risen to seventy thousand gold coins.
"Seventy-five thousand gold coins!" a young mage class player couldn\'t help but join the bidding.
"Eighty thousand gold coins!" BlazingStorm immediately raised the bid, determined not to let the young mage succeed.
More and more players joined in, making the scene increasingly intense. A serious glint flashed in BlazingStorm\'s eyes as he internally urged himself on. He had to win this auction to add to his strength.
"One hundred thousand gold coins!" BlazingStorm called out another high bid without hesitation.
The players below were shocked; a hundred thousand gold coins for a one-time-use item? That was madness!
BlazingStorm\'s extravagant bid undoubtedly stunned everyone present. For a moment, no one continued to challenge him. They reasoned that there were more sets to come, and there was no need to compete with a madman for the first set. This was the prevailing thought among most people.
"Any higher bids than one hundred thousand gold coins?"
"One hundred thousand gold coins for the first time!"
"One hundred thousand gold coins for the second time!"
"One hundred thousand gold coins for the third time!"
"Sold!"
On stage, Isabella announced with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. BlazingStorm, you now possess this precious bottle of epic-tier Silver Tear."
BlazingStorm smiled slightly, pleased as he pocketed the epic-tier Silver Tear. On stage, Isabella\'s smile remained unchanged as she briskly initiated the auction for the second set of Silver Tears: "Now for the second set, starting as usual at twenty thousand gold coins, with a minimum increase of five thousand gold coins per bid!"
"I bid twenty-five thousand gold coins!" With an excited voice initiating the bidding, the players on the first floor immediately plunged into a frenzied competition.
The intense bidding for the first set of epic-tier Silver Tears had made more and more players realize the preciousness of these items. Everyone hoped to acquire the epic-tier Silver Tears for the incredible 100000% experience boost lasting 12 hours.
"Thirty thousand gold coins," another player quickly raised the bid.
"Thirty-five thousand gold coins!" someone else called out loudly.
The price kept climbing, with players stretching their financial limits. They were willing to pay any price to acquire this potent leveling tool.
"Thirty-five thousand gold coins!" came another bid, this time capturing everyone\'s attention as it originated from the second floor.
Looking up, the crowd glimpsed a sinister face briefly appearing at a booth window – it was Kingserp from Dawn Guild. "Why is Kingserp joining in so early? This is only the second set of Silver Tears!" a player whispered in surprise.
"What\'s so strange about that? Those top guilds from the Dark Realm have always been rule-breakers," another player scoffed softly, careful not to be overheard by Kingserp, "Honestly, it\'s surprising they didn\'t bid in the first round!"
"Kingserp, already can\'t resist in just the second set? Competing with the first-floor players, how typically embarrassing for him!"
At another booth window, Adam\'s figure emerged, his deep, authoritative voice echoing mockingly across the auction hall.
Kingserp\'s icy voice followed immediately: "Adam, guild leader, if you want to bid, just bring it on. Others may fear your Genesis Guild, but I certainly don\'t!"
"Auctions are all about ability. These trash on the first floor want to compete with me? Bring it on!"
Adam chuckled lightly, responding casually, "Others might not know, but I actually would rather not see this set of Silver Tears fall into your hands. I bid forty thousand gold coins!"
The attention of the crowd shifted to the tussle between Kingserp and Adam. Everyone was eager to see which of these powerful guild leaders would have the last laugh in this bidding war.
Kingserp, with a grim expression, locked his gaze on Adam and unflinchingly raised the bid: "Sixty thousand gold coins!"
His bid cast a brief hush over the hall. Everyone was surprised at Kingserp\'s bold move, directly increasing the bid by twenty thousand gold coins.
In the booth adjacent to Dawn Guild, Shadowrealm Guild\'s leader, Karthus, also wore a somber expression. He was furiously venting in their communication channel, "What the hell are you doing? Raising the bid by twenty thousand in one go? How are we supposed to compete later?"
Kingserp\'s face twisted into a mad grin, darkly replying, "Haven\'t you noticed? That bastard Adam is targeting me. We absolutely cannot show weakness at such a time. The price we\'re bidding now doesn\'t matter; it\'s all about the momentum!"
Karthus fell into deep silence. He knew Kingserp had gone off the deep end again.
Adam, participating in the bidding, also arched an eyebrow, his expression indescribable. He hadn\'t expected Kingserp to raise the bid by twenty thousand gold coins. Although somewhat baffled, Adam didn\'t mind these minor details. If it was a game they wanted to play, he was all in.
"Eighty thousand gold coins!"
Adam\'s voice carried an air of supreme confidence.
The players on the first floor were wide-eyed in astonishment.
"These two guys are insane!"
"This is how the top guilds operate, huh? Raising the bid by twenty thousand each time!"
"To be honest, just shelling out twenty thousand gold coins would hurt my wallet, let alone raising the bid by that much in one go!"
"Can you even compare to them? Think about why they\'re sitting on the second floor!"
"It\'s maddening to compare with others!"
"Well, getting to watch a free show like this isn\'t half bad!"
...
Enshrouded in his cloak, with dark mist swirling around him, Kingserp\'s expression under the cloak was indiscernible. Only his chillingly cold voice could be heard: "Guild leader Adam is indeed generous, willing to keep up with me like this. Well then, I won\'t be petty either!"
"One hundred thousand gold coins!"
The crowd gasped in astonishment; this was already the final bid for the first set of epic-tier Silver Tears, but for these two big shots, it seemed like just the beginning. No one knew how high Kingserp and Adam intended to push the price. It appeared their limits were far from being reached.
"One hundred and twenty thousand gold coins!" Adam declared with a light chuckle, his domineering voice laced with a hint of provocation.
Kingserp\'s gaze darkened. He didn\'t immediately raise the bid but looked towards Adam, speaking coldly, "Guild leader Adam really knows how to play the game, but this won\'t make me concede!"
"One hundred and forty thousand gold coins!"
Everyone held their breath, the atmosphere tense and explosive. The players were so excited by the bidding war that their hearts raced, their eyes glued to the two competitors.
Even Isabella on stage was stunned, so engrossed in the unfolding drama that she momentarily forgot to repeat their bids!
