Chapter 141

Everyone who heard this astonishing offer immediately reacted with a barrage of curses!

The seller was clearly trying to take advantage of the artifact's popularity to drive up the price, hence the outrageous asking price. According to many experienced observers, the actual value of this item was only about 500,000 universal points. Even with the premium added at auction, 700,000 universal points would be the limit.

Of course, unless the lamp stand, lamp oil, and lamp itself were all collected, then a price of 5,000,000 universal points might be somewhat reasonable.

Therefore, the harsh reality was that Aladdin's lamp stand ultimately went unsold, and the original owner was undoubtedly greatly disappointed. However, the people who came to this auction were all very shrewd, and how could they give him the opportunity to treat them like gullible fools?

Next, Fang Senyan saw two more legendary pieces of equipment appear at the auction. One of them was forged using the unique reward from the golden main quest: Mysterious Forging Blueprint (limited to three purchases per person). It was called Mysterious Boots, and it was immediately sought after by everyone.

The item that appeared as the grand finale surprised even Fang Senyan. It looked black and tattered, and it wasn't eye-catching at all. However, one look at its description would scare you to death! Because it was also an artifact! And not a lower-tier artifact with relatively low recognition like Black Arrow, but a famous one. It was the One Ring!! The ultimate treasure of the Lord of the Rings world, the source of the Dark Lord Sauron's power!

Of course, it would have been better if it didn't have the words "Damaged" added to the end.

The description of this equipment was: In the battle of Mount Doom, the Hobbits ultimately revealed their evil nature. They could not resist the temptation of the Ring and wanted to take it for themselves, but they were stopped by the righteous Gollum. In the fierce fight, Gollum realized that he could not defeat the two evil Hobbits, so he resolutely took the Ring and jumped into the volcano, destroying the Ring. To commemorate this unknown and brave warrior, after the battle ended, someone considered that the violent eruption might have shot out Gollum's remains as well, so they carefully searched the vicinity of Mount Doom and found the remnants of this Ring.

The One Ring (Damaged).

Rank: Unknown

Attributes: You must repair it to obtain basic attributes.

Introduction: A damaged artifact is still an artifact, just as the king of beggars is still a beggar.

Note: Pay tribute to Mr. Gollum, who was buried in historical errors!

*

Looking at the series of distorted descriptions on this thing, which seemed to completely contradict the original plot, Fang Senyan couldn't help but admire the ingenuity of the guy who got his hands on this One Ring (Damaged). He could be said to have taken a unique approach, starting with Gollum, who had been overlooked by many people. He must have brainwashed or controlled Gollum, and then took advantage of the fact that Gollum had a high probability of coming into contact with the Ring in the plot, in order to plot this powerful artifact.

For many people, this was something they wouldn't even dare to think about, because Gollum was actually controlled by the Ring. To distort his mind and instill one's own will, the charisma of this person could be said to be amazing. This was no longer within the scope of equipment, and it must be a powerful talent ability to achieve this goal.

However, this person's approach ultimately failed. Gollum, who had been instilled with a brain full of righteous thoughts, still did not deliver the Ring to his hands, but repeated the mistakes of history in a dramatic way. However, he could also be said to be successful, because the remnants of this Ring were the extra reward he obtained.

Looking at this thing, everyone was silent.

Yes, this was a gamble. If you wanted to buy this thing, then you had to ask yourself if you had the ability to repair it. And even if you did, it was absolutely impossible to be 100% sure of repairing the One Ring, this pinnacle artifact. However, as long as you could repair one attribute, then you would break even. Two attributes would be a profit, and three attributes would be like winning the lottery. Four attributes... well, that was just an illusion.

However, the asking price for this thing was not cheap at all. The starting price of 1,300,000 universal points was enough to make many people flinch. You had to know that the value of Nicolas Flamel's Philosopher's Stone, which was seen at the last auction, was only 1,000,000 universal points. But the value of the Philosopher's Stone was very practical, and it could be said to be a well-known hard currency.

Most of the people who came here were not lone wolves, but had to shoulder the responsibilities of the team. The higher the position, the greater the constraints. Rashly spending more than 1,000,000 universal points, not including the repair costs, in a normal situation, even if you won the bet, people might not be very grateful or respectful to you. Once you lost the bet, then it was estimated that your position would be unstable. Few people would do something with such a disproportionate investment and return.

In this situation, despite the appearance of two artifacts, it still fell into a strange coldness. However, for the auctioneer, they had seen even stranger things, and this small matter was nothing at all. After the auction announced the end, nearly more than half of the bidders still received a private secret notice to stay. The official explanation was that they would make corresponding arrangements for the unsold items.

At this time, all the unsold items were placed on a large circular table. The two unsold artifacts were of course in the center, followed by the others in order. In fact, the Black Arrow's failure to sell was entirely because Fang Senyan's requirements were too high. If he was willing to trade for universal points, the big shots who entered the venue would have been notified long ago that there was a big surprise and prepared sufficient cash, and it would definitely be sold for a sky-high price.

At this time, the unsold items were taken out one by one again. The auctioneer announced the corresponding price, just like during the auction, but it was decreasing. For example, Aladdin's lamp stand, according to the reserve price announced by the seller: 5,000,000 universal points! Each addition was 1,000,000 points! Then at this time, the starting price would be 4,000,000. If it still went unsold, then it would be reduced by another 1,000,000, with the low price calculated at 3,000,000. Of course, if the total value fell below 1,000,000, then it would be reduced by 100,000 each time.

Soon, when the price was cut to 1,000,000, it had already reached the psychological price of the big shots, and someone began to take over:

"I want it for 1,000,000."

But obviously, there were also people who didn't want to be lonely, and immediately bid 1,100,000 universal points. At this point, it entered the normal auction process. The auction house was very sure that with the Black Arrow artifact as the foundation, the so-called failure to sell was completely impossible.

After some competition, the price finally stopped at the high price of 2,200,000 universal points. This mysterious bidder No. 7 had previously bid 240,000 for the rare ore, and it seemed that he was determined to win the Black Arrow. To be honest, the most powerful thing about the Black Arrow artifact was the moment it was shot out as an arrow. Using it for close combat always felt like casting a pearl before swine. It seemed that the No. 7 buyer's team or even himself was a master of archery, otherwise he would not be so willing to spend a lot of money.

Of course, in Fang Senyan's eyes, the words "willing to spend a lot of money" could be directly interpreted as "sucker," so when this No. 7 buyer got his hands on Aladdin's lamp stand, he was thinking about how to maximize his profits. Sure enough, soon, the No. 7 buyer invited Fang Senyan to meet, because he had already obtained the props that Fang Senyan had specified and met the conditions, so he already had this qualification. As for whether Fang Senyan would suddenly go back on his word, that was impossible. The auction house would never allow such a reputation-damaging thing to happen.

After Fang Senyan met No. 7, he didn't waste any words and directly offered the price: Aladdin's lamp stand + all the rare ores he owned + the damaged One Ring + 500,000 universal points. In fact, Fang Senyan's asking price was not too outrageous. The normal price of Aladdin's lamp stand was only 500,000 universal points, and the damaged One Ring could at most be considered a legendary equipment, worth 1,000,000 universal points. The total value was 2,300,000 universal points.

However, this time, because Fang Senyan had spread the word, it led to a large premium on Aladdin's lamp stand, so the disagreement between the two sides was here. After all, the No. 7 buyer had bought it with real money for a high price of 2,200,000 universal points. Therefore, for him, Fang Senyan's asking price was a bit of a rip-off.

However, both sides had the intention to make a deal at this time. In this kind of big environment and foundation, everything could be discussed. In the end, No. 7 became impatient with the bargaining, and suddenly stood up, stared at Fang Senyan and said:

"Since your team can get the Black Arrow artifact, it must be very powerful. Then, let's make a bet?"

Fang Senyan said calmly:

"What are we betting on?"

No. 7 said:

"I see that you are determined to get Aladdin's lamp stand and the damaged One Ring, then let's first trade these two things, and then the remaining rare ores and the 500,000 universal points will be used as a bet! If someone in your team can defeat someone in our team in a one-on-one fight, then it's yours, but if you lose..."

Fang Senyan smiled:

"Then it's all written off? Then in this gambling battle, your side has an artifact in hand, so the chances of winning are naturally very high."

However, No. 7 was not provoked by Fang Senyan and said lightly:

"If you're afraid, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Fang Senyan smiled and said:

"Deal."
