Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

These words immediately dampened the enthusiasm of the eager crowd.

What?

Four hundred?

This price is enough to buy a high-grade magic weapon, enough to buy a rare and powerful one!

Everyone turned to look at the person who had spoken.

The man had a square face and a resolute expression. At this moment, he stood up straight, his back as upright as a javelin, and his demeanor suggested he was a soldier.

Shen Hua looked at the other person with a very serious expression.

He knows this person.

Not just him, but almost all players in the previous life were familiar with him.

This person's surname is Han, given name is Gang, has a military background, and his game ID is 【镇千山】.

In the previous game, players spontaneously created a comprehensive combat power ranking. Unlike the official game ranking, this ranking considered factors such as players' actual combat ability, records of defeating powerful enemies, and speed of clearing dungeons, giving them a comprehensive combat power score.

This comprehensive combat power ranking is highly recognized among players.

Han Gang is widely recognized as the best player in the entire server.

Han Gang is not a Heavenly Spirit Root player, but a True Spirit Root player.

Although his spiritual root attribute is not outstanding, he managed to climb to the top of the combat power ranking by deeply exploring the scene missions.

In his previous life, when he was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he had the impressive feat of directly killing a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage, which made him famous throughout the server.

Moreover, in the martial arts competition five years later, he also achieved remarkable results, holding his own against an enemy at the peak of the Golden Core stage for two hours.

He can be considered the strongest player.

Shen Hua thought to himself, "Han Gang is a body cultivator, so his purpose for coming here is most likely to bid for the Xuan Ge Hand Wrapped Gloves, right?"

While Shen Hua was still pondering, Han Gang had already addressed the stage: "Let's begin the countdown."

"Okay." The localized necrosis responded, then began counting down, "Five, four, three, two... one."

No one else bid.

Although many people wanted this magic weapon, they were only willing to pay between 250 and 300 low-grade spirit stones. Han Gang directly asked for 400, so how could the others compete?

And everyone is very curious:

Han Gang just spent 5,000 low-grade spirit stones to acquire twenty golden fire-type magic weapons in one go. Now he's added another 400 to get the Gengjin spear. Does he not plan to snatch the Xuange Hand-Wrapped Gloves?

However, what happened next disappointed them.

Just as the man with the partially necrotic skin was boasting about his Xuan Ge hand and announcing a starting bid of four thousand low-grade spirit stones, Han Gang was the first to speak: "Seven thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones."

"Seven...seven thousand five?" Han Gang's words stunned everyone present.

Whether they were sitting in the audience or watching from the rooftops and streets, everyone stared wide-eyed at Han Gang.

Why doesn't this person play by the rules?

How can you raise prices like that?

The players around who were interested in bidding for the Xuan Ge hand-wrapped gloves were dumbfounded.

Everyone originally planned to gradually raise the price by 100 yuan at a time, testing each other's limits, and then make a final move to secure the deal. Who could have imagined that Han Gang would suddenly add 3,500 yuan, raising the price to a level that no one else could reach?

After a moment of silence, Han Gang looked at the localized necrosis on the stage.

This time, without waiting for Han Gang to urge them, the localized necrosis immediately began its countdown: "Five, four, three, two..."

However, since this was the final item up for auction, he didn't dare to go too fast, pausing for a full ten seconds on the number "two".

Ten seconds passed, but no one raised the price.

This is far beyond what people expected.

This magic artifact is worth about four thousand low-grade spirit stones, but considering that it is the first high-grade gold magic artifact in the entire server and can be taken back to the real world for research, it already has a premium price. The highest price that everyone is willing to give is six thousand or six thousand five.

The price of 7,500 is simply beyond everyone's means.

"One! Sold!" The partial necrosis was declared the final word.

The onlookers breathed a sigh of relief, never expecting such a dramatic turn of events.

Everyone originally thought that the two major auction items would inevitably be fiercely contested, with all parties using their wits and courage to constantly test the waters.

Unexpectedly, Han Gang won the bid directly with a high price, completely eliminating the fun of bidding.

One of the players watching from the rooftop exclaimed, "Is this the legendary 'overpowering all techniques with sheer force'?"

"No, I think it's more like 'money talks'."

"7500 low-grade spirit stones are worth approximately 7500 million offline now!"

"Uh, now that you mention it, it doesn't seem like that much. Those big capitalists could easily come up with a few hundred million, right?"

……

Ignoring the players' chatter, Han Gang went straight to the person with localized necrosis and asked, "The items are auctioned off, how do we trade?"

Local Necrosis laughed with particular enthusiasm; he had earned 350 low-grade spirit stones from this bidding war alone.

"Congratulations on successfully acquiring two top-grade magic artifacts!" he said with a smile. "Both artifacts are now in the hands of my brother Xia Ye. We can go to his cave together to pick them up, or you can leave an address and he can deliver them to you personally."

"Then let's go to his cave."

Han Gang had already made up his mind. Besides bidding on the equipment, he also wanted to visit Shen Hua.

"Okay, I'll finish handling the follow-up work for the auction, and then we'll go together." The partially necrotic patient readily agreed.

With that, the auction officially came to a close.

The auction ended, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. However, many felt a sense of unease, as the lack of back-and-forth bidding left something to be desired.

Players in the audience gathered in small groups to chat and add each other as friends. Their purpose for coming here was not only to participate in the auction, but also to make more friends with other players.

The game is huge, but the circle of elite players is not that big. You might need to use each other's resources someday.

The various interesting stories from this auction quickly spread among gamers.

The equipment and talismans on display on stage were unremarkable in Shen Hua's eyes, but they were all rare items for ordinary players.

Ordinary players may have ordinary quality magical artifacts at most, but at auctions, spiritual essence is everywhere.

Golden magical artifacts, which are treasures worth a couple hundred low-grade spirit stones each, are being sold in bulk at auctions!

With the addition of Han Gang's impressive offer, the ID "Zhen Qianshan" became a hit across the entire server and was widely known among players.

Another player spent over a hundred low-grade spirit stones to bid on an ordinary stone with no spiritual energy whatsoever. This incredible misfortune became a popular topic of conversation among players, a source of amusement.

……

Shen Hua had no idea that he had earned the reputation of being a "big traitor," and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

Backstage at the auction, he took out spirit stones and exchanged them for wind amber stones.

Looking at the stone marked entirely with "Unknown," he felt quite satisfied.

This is indeed a fine piece of amber, of very good quality.

A stone that can be used as a sealing stone in a sealing array must be of good quality, since anything that needs to be trapped in a sealing array is not ordinary.

He glanced at the localized necrosis being tended to nearby and casually asked, "Host, do you know where the original owner of this stone found it?"
