Chapter 1055: They Merged Together!

After listening to Sheyan’s words, Rongji Lee slowly shook her head.

“The offer of 300,000 utility points is simply too low.”

Sheyan laughed. “Maybe you should go find someone who can offer a higher price, then.”

Sheyan could not be bothered with her anymore. As soon as he finished what he had to say, he immediately returned to the auction venue. Rongji Lee obviously did not expect Sheyan to take such a hard stance. She did not even have the chance to persuade Sheyan to stay. Sheyan’s departure left her fuming with anger!

By this time, the auction had already heated up thanks to the legendary weapon, Gungnir. As soon as Sheyan returned to the venue, he saw that the bid had risen as high as 1.3 million utility points! The official Major General from before had been eliminated early in the auction due to the large amount of funds he had used to purchase the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Sheyan estimated that if his pair of dark green gloves were put up for auction, the final transaction price should be around 1.5 million. The properties on them were all very practical for MTs, so they should command extra utility points.

Despite that, Sheyan was sure that he would not be able to afford this legendary spear even if he sold off everything he had on him. Of course, if the ‘Pestilence Monarch’ ability could be transferred, then it was hard to say.

At that moment, after some internal discussion among one of the bidding factions, five reserve-duty Generals joined forces and used their rank privileges to initiate the horrible “Blood Battle” auction rule!

After the auction rule was initiated, out of the five reserve-duty Generals, three of them were demoted to Lieutenant Generals. One could see from this how much it cost them to initiate this rule.

But the “Blood Battle” auction rule was truly vicious.

In a normal auction, as long as your bid was surpassed by others, your money would not be deducted. This was the normal protocol.

However, when the “Blood Battle” auction rule was in effect, once you participate in the bidding, regardless of whether you win in the end, you would lose the final amount you bid.

That was to say, if you rashly participated in the auction without sufficient funds and preparation, as well as the courage and determination to win at all costs, be prepared to lose everything!

This situation would, in large part, repel those who participated in the auction with malicious intentions. If Sheyan had initiated the “Blood Battle” rule during the auction of ‘Repentance’, would Chabar dare to bid 850,000 utility points? He would not even dare to make a sound!

At first glance, the initiation of the “Blood Battle” rule may seem to be detrimental to the auction house, because the bidders would surely bid rationally from then on.

But the good news was that once someone dared to join the fight, there would be only one winner in the end. They auction house would get 50% of the money confiscated from the losers, so they could very well earn a windfall profit.

Of the remaining 50%, 25% would be taken by the realm, and the remaining 25% would be distributed equally to the five people who proposed the “Blood Battle” rule.

After the rule was enacted, Gungnir’s price remained at 1.3 million for a long time…. That was normal, of course. Are you kidding?! If someone were to make a bid right now, they may lose more than 1.3 million for nothing! It was a path of no return!

But there was a sudden change in the situation!

An official Colonel suddenly went over to the previous official Major General who had given up and whispered a few words into his ears.

The official Major General then immediately used his military rank privilege to once again temporarily halt the auction for an hour. He naturally had to pay another 100,000 utility points!

Obviously, one of the major factions was unwilling to let this chance go, so they were going to use this hour to raise funds for a decisive battle.

Sheyan was now deeply aware of the importance of military rank privileges. Some things may not seem directly helpful in combat, but in critical moments, certain privileges could bring more profit than winning a battle!

The initiation of the “Blood Battle” rule was good news for Sheyan. It would suck the funds out of all these people as much as possible. The less money these people had, the greater the chances of him purchasing ‘Repentance’ at a low price.

Ego and other such things were certainly not as important as profit. The so-called Milky Way United Commerce Group would only get 5,000 utility points if ‘Repentance’ was not sold, but if they sell it to Sheyan for 300,000 utility points, their commission would be 20% of the selling price, which was 60,000 utility points. Even an elementary student would know which option to choose.

With this in mind, Sheyan sent a voice message to Ms. Rongji Lee through his nightmare imprint.

“300,000 utility points if you agree to the transaction right away. I’ll give you one minute. Any later than that, I’ll only pay 250,000 utility points.”

Ms. Rongji Lee did not reply.

An hour later, the fight between the major players started.

Even with the terrifying “Blood Battle” rule in effect, there were still as many as three factions competing for the Gungnir. Such a favourable news put a huge smile on the face of the boss of the Milky Way United Commerce Group. With three factions in play, even at the minimum transaction price of 1.3 million utility points, the auction house would already make a revenue 1.3 million!

When the price reached 2 million utility points, one of the sides withdrew.

In the end, the Gungnir was sold for 2.7 million utility points.

The figure may not look that high, but the total amount actually spent in this bidding competition had exceeded 7 million utility points! The spear was truly a money-swallowing beast!

Good thing that for a large party of more than 40 contestants, the loss of about 2 million utility points, while quite tragic, was not fatal. It would only cause the party to go on the decline, but it would not shake the party’s foundation too much.

Only now did Ms. Rongji Lee contact Sheyan.

“You sure are lucky, Lieutenant Colonel. You can bring home an outstanding weapon like the ‘Repentance’ for only 300,000 utility points.”

Sheyan smiled as he replied, “Have you forgotten what I said in my message? Please stop joking with me. I offered 300,000 an hour ago and you ignored me, so the price is 250,000 now. Also, I’ll make a copy of my voice message and leave it here. If you’d somehow forgotten to relay my message for personal reasons, I believe the higher-ups of the Milky Way United Commerce Group will certainly not take too kindly to this matter.”

“YOU….” Ms. Rongji Lee was so angry that she was at a loss for words.

Five minutes later, a single word popped up on the screen in front of Sheyan’s seat.

“Deal”

Sheyan knew that the auction house was about to begin the sale of the unsold miscellaneous items, as well as start making payouts and return equipments. A valuable dark gold equipment like ‘Repentance’ would definitely be among the first batch of equipments they had to return. They also had to take into account the delay in making payments, so the Milky Way United Commerce Group had no time to bargain. Sure, a transaction price of 250,000 utility points was not that high, but it was not a loss either. They would be able to explain themselves to the seller.

Of course, the most important reason was that the actual amount of utility points they earned from ‘Repentance’ was 400,000 (from the penalty) + (250,000 X 20%). That amount was more than satisfactory.

Sheyan finally got his hands on the powerful weapon. It looked exactly the same as ‘Ambition’, but it gave off a different feeling. It was just like how an actress with superb acting skills would make others feel like she came from heaven when she was acting as an innocent character, but when she was playing a sexy role, she would make you feel like you’re in paradise.

As soon as Sheyan held ‘Repentance’ in his hands, he immediately felt the resonance from ‘Ambition’ in his personal storage became more intense, so much so that it started heating up. ‘Repentance’ also resonated in response. The humming and vibrating of the two weapons became so intense that Sheyan was getting worried that they might break. He had no choice but to take ‘Ambition’ out and put the two weapons together side by side. The world instantly turned quiet again.

Sheyan still wished to buy the high-energy batteries to recharge his gloves, so he continued to stay where he was.

The miner seemed to have some connection with the Milky Way United Commerce Group. He returned after having disappeared for some time. He seemed to have found out that Sheyan had obtained ‘Repentance’.

The miner did not notice anything out of the ordinary at first, but after a glance in Sheyan’s direction, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “How come there are two ‘Repentances’?”

“There aren’t,” answered Sheyan with a smile.

The miner took a closer look. The two guns looked the same, but the vibe they exuded were quite different. He immediately came to a shocking realisation.

“Could that be the brother ‘Repentance’ has been looking for? Don’t tell me you have it with you all along?!?”

Sheyan’s lip curled slightly upwards.

“Why else do you think an MT like me would fork out 250,000 utility points for a dark gold gun?”

The miner took a closer scrutiny and muttered, “‘Ambition’, let me check….It’s one of the items in Davy Jones’ collection. It was kept by Davy Jones’ for unknown reasons, and it won’t appear in any list of mission rewards. The acquiring condition is to kill Paul the octopus before killing Davy Jones. If only Davy Jones is killed, Paul will take all the treasures away and trigger Davy Jones’ Locker. There will be a 30% chance for ‘Ambition’ to appear on the list of rewards from that….Wait, that’s not right! ”

Sheyan almost coughed up blood listening to the condition to acquire ‘Ambition’ with conventional means. How strong would a party need to be in order to kill both Davy Jones and Paul in the Pirates of the Caribbean world? When they finally open the treasure chest, there would surely be a limit to the number of items they could take. Who the hell would waste the precious chance on a black grade weapon?

“That’s not right!” The miner repeated those three words again. “No offense, Lieutenant Colonel, but considering your current level of strength, there’s absolutely no way for you to become strong enough to kill Paul the octopus before killing Davy Jones!”

“That’s my secret,” Sheyan said with a smile. “It seems like your database isn’t all-knowing after all.”

“Naturally,” the miner shrugged and said, “The optical computer only lists the most assured and the most direct acquisition methods.”

At this moment, a striking white holy light was emitted from ‘Repentance’. The light formed a basketball-sized sphere and proceeded to envelop ‘Ambition’ in it as well.

When Sheyan reached for the guns, he could only hold the large holy ball of white light up. He checked the statuses of the weapons and found that their statuses were both listed as “unknown”.
