How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

This is enough to show the amount of manpower and material resources invested in the publicity. According to statistics from professional players on the forum, a total of about 20,000 gold coins were spent. Even for those large guilds, these gold coins are equivalent to more than one month's income for the entire guild.

This made them secretly wonder how rich the bosses behind these auction houses were.

What is even more exciting is that these auction houses promise to accept commissioned auctions of all equipment and rare materials above silver level within five natural days.

Countless players are discussing the impact this auction will have on the equipment market of the Orwin Empire.

Many powerful groups of players have entrusted their collections that they had accumulated but were reluctant to sell to the other party, which has invisibly increased its popularity again.

This also includes studios and even major guilds.

"Auction?" Black King Caesar stroked his slightly bearded chin. "It sounds interesting. Lan Hai, go contact the people at those auction houses and see if you can get some good spots."

“No need, Boss.” Lan Hai shook his head. “They have already sent the VIP card. When the time comes, someone will take us to the VIP box with this card.”

"Oh, this person in charge has really thought it through." Upon hearing this, Black King Caesar couldn't help but reveal an admiring look. "If I'm guessing correctly, the management of other guilds should have received this gift just like us."

Chapter 96: Walking into a Trap

The facts were just as he had guessed.

Big guilds such as Empire Epic, Eternal Spire, Rose Heart, etc. all received such a small gift from the people in the auction houses.

"Eleven said that many studios have consigned legendary materials." Meng Qingying hung up the call and said to the red rose next to her, "The weapon Shuiyan should be able to be forged with this."

Red Rose waved the exquisite card with her slender fingers and thought for a moment, "Ask Duolan and Shanhu to consign the equipment and materials I sorted into Warehouse No. 1."

"Are you sure?" Meng Qingying frowned slightly when she heard this, "Our elite group can also use those."

"These equipment and materials will depreciate if left unused. Why not take this opportunity to expand our funds and find something more suitable at the auction? Money should be put to good use, right, Qingying?"

"And this is also an opportunity for us, or rather, an invisible guild competition."

"I understand."

Meng Qingying was the head of the guild in the north after all, so she immediately reacted and said with a small sigh, "I really didn't think of you enough."

"You've never done better than me in exams since you were a child, right?"

"You're still as annoying as ever."

Similar conversations also took place in other guilds.

But in a certain corner of the starry sky mythology, there are some slight differences.

"The president asked me and other senior executives to accompany him there that day. Do you want to come?" Zhen Mo, who was browsing the tasks, suddenly received a call. After reading the message, he asked Kong Xiangzou next to him.

"No." Kong Xiangzou aimed at a monster with low health in the distance, shot it to death with one arrow, and refused without thinking.

"You don't even want to join in the fun. This doesn't seem to be your style, does it?"

This made Zhen Mo a little curious.

Kong Xiangzou rolled his eyes and said, "My sister came over from Constantina to do a mission. She heard there was an auction and wanted to attend it, so she asked me to go over and help estimate the price."

"It seems that this auction is really grand." Zhen Mo supported his chin with the back of his hand and suddenly changed the subject, "I remember that your sister is not good at math. With you, a math idiot, wouldn't it be even more difficult?"

Kong Xiangzou was silent for a moment, then raised his foot and stomped down hard.

But she obviously underestimated the opponent's early response. Not only did she temporarily lower the pain, but she also withdrew from the team.

So she entered the gray name magnificently.

Not only big guilds like Storm and Star Myth were invited, but some lesser-known second-rate guilds were also invited by these auction houses, including the Black Clan.

"Brother Zhuo has something to do that day, Ah Mo, if you are free then, how about coming with me?"

The one who was directing his members to encircle the BOSS in the distance looked at the figure next to him and asked in the same usual tone.

"of course."

Mosha, who was playing with the VIP card, laughed.

This auction actually helped him a lot. He could use the funds from the black crowd to buy competing products. After all, the transfer of equipment and materials is much simpler than that of funds.

Moreover, he now has a lot of funds under his control, and he needs a way to supplement the strength of his studio members. Even if the night view is very beautiful, he will take the initiative to participate.

Looking at that face with the arrogant smile, although it was no different from usual, but after knowing the other party's secret actions a few days ago, the night is beautiful and now I just felt a burst of anger.

But now was obviously not the time to expose herself. The night was beautiful so she calmed herself down and tried to make herself look no different from usual.

At this moment, a voice popped up in the communication column.

The night is beautiful, and my heart moved, "It seems that Brother Zhuo has already arranged it."

Thinking of this, he followed the arrangements sent by Zhuo Duo and pretended to be communicating with Zhuo Duo.

"An item that can weaken the boss... Holy White Moon Fox?"

"Brother Zhuo, where did you hear this news? Is there really such a thing?"

"…But it's hard to control the price when it's auctioned."

"Are you sure he didn't leak the news?"

"...Okay, I'll see if I can raise some funds here, but it's better to go and verify it again. Brother Zhuo, give me the communication code of that person and I'll talk to him again."

Fortunately, he usually likes to watch TV dramas, and these performances are not difficult. He acted out the movements and expressions in the call very well. The thoughtful look he showed after hanging up the call also looked very lifelike.

The sound was not loud, but it was enough to attract the attention of the demon killer next to him.

What's more, the night scene is very beautiful and the key of "Holy White Moon Fox" is deliberately pointed out.

The name reminded him of the previous defeat in the underground ruins. After hearing the subsequent words of "weakening strength", Mosha couldn't help but feel moved. After Ye Se Heng Mei hung up the call, he immediately came over and asked, "Brother Ye, what were you discussing with Brother Zhuo just now?"

"Oh, you really took the bait."

He glanced at the figure beside him inconspicuously, and couldn't help but smile at the beautiful night. When he looked up again, his expression had returned to normal and he began to explain.

Basically, a small guild completed a series of tasks, received generous rewards, and also got a bottle of potion called Moon Tranquility, the use of which was unknown.

It just so happened that someone from their guild went over to help, and the entire quest was centered around a scholar who studied moon foxes. This member thought of something and went to ask a senior pharmacist NPC, and discovered the secret.

This potion can actually restrain the Moon Fox's original power, and the senior pharmacist said that even the Holy White Moon Fox would be weakened to the strength of a leader under the effect of this potion.

However, when that member wanted to secretly buy the potion, he found out that the guild had already entrusted the potion to the auction house and was auctioning it together with several pieces of equipment.

Thinking that being too deliberate would lead to being discovered, the other party did not take any further action, but told Zhuo Duo about the matter.

Although the command-level BOSS was weakened, the loot it dropped remained unchanged. Zhuo Duo would naturally not let go of such an opportunity, so he contacted Yesehengmei and asked him to help raise funds to buy it at the auction.

Although most people don't know the effect of this medicine, it's still good to be prepared.

What's more, that member said that there were people from other guilds participating in the mission. When he went to visit the senior pharmacist, he saw one or two people from the same guild coming out, and they had obviously discovered the secret of the bottle of potion.

"Amo, I'll leave this to you. I'll go over and verify it with that person."

After explaining that the night is beautiful, he turned around and prepared to leave. Of course, he did it on purpose.

As he expected, Mosha next to him immediately said, "I'm also quite interested. Brother Ye and I will go over and take a look."

As he said this, he handed the command back to the leader of the regiment.

The night is beautiful sneered in his heart, knowing clearly what the other party was planning. It was nothing more than the previous defeat in the underground ruins that caused him to lose face. Now that he heard that the strength of the Holy White Moon Fox could be weakened, he became active in his thinking.

Chapter 97: How Rich Are You?

This initiative fell into the plan, and Night is Beautiful naturally would not refuse, and he took the other party to proceed according to the pre-arranged script.

Zhuo Duo had prepared for such a long time that it was naturally a careful plan. No matter what the characters in the script said or behaved, there was logic in it and everything was linked together, as if it were real.

If I hadn't known the plan in advance, I would have been tricked into it.

He was like this, let alone Mo Sha, who was standing next to him and knew nothing about Ye Se Hen Mei and Zhuo Duo's plans. He thought that the two were still being deceived by him, not knowing that their roles had been swapped.

"It seems to be exactly as he said."

Mosha couldn't help but get excited. "Fortunately, this news has not been known by those big guilds. We must get this item. Killing the command-level BOSS will not only bring us great fame, but also revenge for the last time."

Ye Se is very beautiful naturally understood what the other party meant, but of course he didn't show anything on his face. "But the two or three guilds that know the truth also have a background. At least the capital behind them will not miss this opportunity. It seems that we have to hurry up and prepare."

"No need. My family's company happens to have some idle funds. I'll treat it as an investment in the guild. However, I can't use this money casually. I have to sign an agreement. Brother Ye, please don't mind."

Mosha spoke as if he had made a great decision.

It was just as Brother Zhuo had expected.

The night is beautiful, but I feel mocked in my heart.

The other party would definitely not use the guild's funds. Otherwise, according to the agreement made by the three of them at the beginning, the profits after defeating the BOSS would have to be equally divided into the guild, which would mean that part of his previous funds would have been transferred in vain and he would have to spend energy again.

Only by using real capital can this be avoided, and this so-called capital, needless to say, is his own family fortune. The family company and the so-called investment are just excuses.

In the end, all these profits will definitely go into Mosha's pocket through the agreement.

"Of course I don't mind, but we should discuss this matter with Brother Zhuo." The night is beautiful and of course he doesn't want to be careless at this critical moment and arouse the other party's vigilance, so he pushes the scene forward unnoticed.

The fish has been hooked, so let’s get down to business.

……

Two days passed quickly, and the grand auction of Farnes finally arrived amid the anticipation of many players.

Farnes, which was always very lively, now had a feeling like a real festival celebration. This feeling was even more obvious around the Capital Theatre where the auction was held.

The Capital Theatre is located at the eastern end of Ferns. The overall building of the theatre, which can be named "National", is naturally very grand and magnificent.

It adopts antique-style architecture, with Roman relief columns several dozen meters high standing around the theater. Countless exquisite white marble sculptures are inlaid on the walls between the columns, giving off a solemn and heavy historical atmosphere.

Normally, there were not many people visiting the theater, but at this moment, there were tens of thousands of people gathered here. The queues were like several long dragons swimming around, occupying the theater.

And these are just the players among the many who were identified as high-level customers by the auction house and were invited.

The other players in the Orwin Empire who were not invited, except those who were not interested and some low-level players, were also gathered around the auction houses in various towns. There were tens of millions of people waiting for the auction to start.

Although they felt a little regretful that they could not enter the main auction venue, they were very satisfied to be able to participate in the bidding through these auction houses.

At each entrance of the theater, dozens of hired NPC girls in uniform dresses were already greeting the guests with smiles. After the NPC guards checked their invitation cards, they handed over auction catalogs to the guests.

Unlike the crowded ordinary channel, there are very few people in the VIP channel, because those who can receive VIP invitations are all guilds with considerable fame, and these guilds often send important figures to participate.

Although Xingsha is not as big as Baofeng and is at the bottom of the second-tier guilds, it still qualified for VIP invitations thanks to its accumulated foundation.

At this moment, Xingsha's president, German, was leading a dozen players through the VIP channel to the VIP area on the third floor.

The decoration here is elegant and full of classical atmosphere. Several Star Sand players couldn't help but exclaim in admiration when they stepped into it.

"I remember that the last time I came here, there wasn't so much decoration. How much money must this cost?"

"At least 70,000 or 80,000 gold coins."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how rich are the bosses behind these auction houses?"

Just as they were sighing with emotion, a charming voice suddenly interrupted from behind, "Not that many."

The players of Xingsha turned around and saw the entrance to the VIP area behind them. A cute little girl with a delicate appearance came in, accompanied by a tall woman.

As for the other party's previous remarks, they just regarded them as childish behavior, or perhaps out of a desire to show off their experience, they couldn't help but explain.

"Little sister, you don't understand. Just the NPCs welcoming guests outside and these level 100 guards will probably cost tens of thousands of gold coins."

“And look at the layout and decorations, they are definitely the work of a master.”

"We also have to take into account the cost of booking the entire Capital Grand Theater, so the cost must start at 80,000 gold coins."

What these people said seemed to make sense, but when I heard it, I couldn't help but laugh.

The guards and the welcoming girls all booked the services attached to the theater. The layout and decoration were just templates provided by the theater and did not cost much money. Apart from booking the entire theater, the real big expense was actually the functions inside the box that they had not yet experienced.

But even so, plus the publicity investment in recent days, he only spent about 60,000 gold coins in total.

Yes, this auction, which was hotly discussed on the Imperial Forum and whose fame had even spread to several neighboring empires, was organized by himself. The large auction houses that were hotly discussed by those players were also under his name, and not from some hidden consortium capital as they said.

As for why they would go to such great lengths to host such a grand auction, one reason was to pave the way for their own plans, and the second was to solve the problem of fame for their own guild.

As for how to solve it, you will know later.

Moreover, although the initial layout cost so many gold coins, the traffic also brought a lot of income. In addition, with the commission from the auction, it is very likely that I will make a lot of money. This is also the advantage of being the first to try it.

Several players from Xingsha were still chattering, and the guild leader Xingsha Manxing felt helpless and coughed, "Ako, you guys come back here, why are you still competing with the kids?"

"I'm sorry, little sister, they didn't mean any harm."

Xingsha Manxing has an elegant appearance and a gentle voice that makes it easy for people to like him.
