Chapter 274 Making Money

"If that's not enough, you can come here and be our vice president. You can even form your own elite team and maintain your independence. How about that?" Shi Feng added.

Twilight Echo abandoning a future Tier 6 god-ranked powerhouse was akin to cutting off their own arms.

The reason they were called arms was because without Water Rose, his Tier 6 god-ranked friend wouldn't join Twilight Echo either, which meant Twilight Echo lost two future god-ranked powerhouses.

All of this was caused by Shi Feng, albeit unintentionally. Twilight Echo was truly tragic.

If he could bring Water Rose into the guild, Shi Feng would have high expectations for the guild's future.

"Even if I agreed, I still have a group of subordinates. They're all in the Storm Empire. Even if I can afford the high teleportation fees, they can't. Besides, they left the promising Twilight Echo for my sake. I need to give them an explanation. I'm really sorry." Although Shi Feng's conditions were tempting, Water Rose wouldn't abandon her subordinates.

"Are there many people?" Shi Feng asked.

"About a hundred or so. Master Black Flame, you should give up. Even Twilight Echo can't afford these teleportation fees." Water Rose understood why Shi Feng was asking.

The price for one person to teleport across countries was very expensive, not to mention across multiple countries. It would roughly cost two or three gold coins, and over a hundred people would be two to three hundred gold coins.

So many gold coins, not to mention a first-rate guild, even ten first-rate guilds couldn't afford it.

There was no way Shi Feng had so many gold coins.

"A hundred or so people, that's not too bad." Shi Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He thought there would be thousands. If that were the case, his heart would ache, "Then come to Star-Moon Kingdom together. I'll cover all the teleportation fees."

He earned so much from Twilight Echo before. Now he could return it to Water Rose. It was truly the irony of fate. If Glory Echo knew, they would probably vomit blood.

"Master Black Flame, that's two to three *hundred* gold coins, not two or three gold coins." Water Rose couldn't help but remind him.

"Yeah, I know. I'll send you three hundred gold soon. After you come to White River City, just come to Starstreak Trading Firm to find me." After Shi Feng finished speaking, he hung up the communication, because the Blackwing Auction had already started.

On the other side, Water Rose was shocked.

"What kind of power does Master Black Flame have behind him? How could he have such amazing financial resources? He can take out three hundred gold coins so easily. Could it be one of those few super guilds?" Water Rose heard Shi Feng say it so casually, as if three hundred gold wasn't three hundred gold but two or three gold. Then Water Rose shook her head, "No, even those few super guilds can't take out three hundred gold so easily."

"This is really interesting, but I'll know all the answers when I get to White River City." Water Rose smiled slightly, feeling a little expectant.

In the Blackwing Auction venue, a large number of players were already seated, most of whom were high-level members of various guilds.

These guilds had tried their best to accumulate gold coins for today.

Because they had already found out that even in the ordinary auction venue, there would be many amazing items, such as Fine-Gold ranked equipment, materials for making Dark-Gold ranked equipment, and there might even be Dark-Gold ranked weapons and legendary Epic ranked items, as long as they had enough gold coins.

After several warm-up auctions, the atmosphere in the venue was already heated.

Because every item being auctioned was something players wanted, but Shi Feng wasn't very interested, because the items being sold were all Mysterious-Iron ranked quality. They were very good for the guild's elite players, but not very useful for Shi Feng.

But the next item made everyone's eyes light up, and they all showed great interest.

Because it was a Fine-Gold ranked dagger.

Icy Thorns, Dagger, Fine-Gold Rank, Equipment Level 15, Attack +134, Strength +18, Agility +24, Endurance +15, Comes with Passive Skill Winter Force, deals 50% frost damage to the target, and reduces the target's movement speed and attack speed by 50% for 4 seconds.

If an assassin got this, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. If they couldn't kill the enemy with one hit, they could use other combo moves to kill the enemy with the slow effect.

In addition to this Icy Thorns, there was also a Fiery Dagger, also of Fine-Gold rank quality and equipment level 15, but the attached skill was Scorching Force, dealing 50% fire damage to the target, and reducing the target's defense by 10%, stacking up to 5 times, lasting 20 seconds.

Because of the appearance of these two daggers, all the assassins became excited, wishing they could get their hands on these two daggers right now.

Whether it was the slow effect or the armor-breaking effect, and with the attached 50% magic damage, it was exactly what the assassins needed most. It could be said that these two daggers were the best weapons for assassins at the moment, without exception.

But the starting price of this pair of daggers made many players sigh.

5 gold coins, and that was just the starting price, and each bid couldn't be less than 10 silver coins. If they really competed, the price would increase a lot, which meant that if a large guild bought this pair of daggers, they wouldn't have any competitiveness for the next auction items.

If there were no special needs, they generally wouldn't buy this pair of daggers in one go.

"Not bad, they are indeed top-quality weapons for level 15 assassins. I'll just buy them and give them to Fire Dance." Shi Feng looked at the attributes and said with satisfaction.

"Great, heaven hasn't forsaken me. This is what assassins have been pursuing. If I offer it to the guild leader, the guild leader will be very happy, and maybe he will decide to change my punishment." The Scholar Talks and Laughs, sitting in the front row of the auction, looked at the Icy Thorns and Fiery Daggers, and his small eyes, narrowed into a slit, bloomed with bright red blood. If this wasn't an auction and there were 200-level guards nearby, he would probably have rushed up already.

After the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, the entire venue exploded.

"I bid 5 gold."

"5 gold 50 silver coins."

"6 gold!"

…

Less than a minute after the auction started, the price of this pair of daggers reached 7 gold 20 silver, and most of the guilds gave up when they saw this price.

"Hahaha, let you compete, thinking you can compete with me." The Scholar Talks and Laughs was now full of confidence, not afraid that anyone could exceed his bid, and the auction had just begun, and who could guarantee what would appear later. They would definitely hold back, not afraid that anyone would dare to compete with him.

Seeing that no one was competing, Shi Feng opened his mouth and said, "10 gold coins."

The entire venue was silent. Although this pair of daggers was a top-quality weapon for assassins, the price was too high. It wasn't that the pair of daggers wasn't worth the price, but that not many people could afford it now. They didn't have so many gold coins on them. If it were exchanged for credits, even 500,000 credits would have many people rushing to buy them.

"Black Flame, damn it, it's him competing with me. How could he have so much money." The Scholar Talks and Laughs was going crazy. If he bid a higher price, then even the remaining auction items would have nothing to do with him, but if he didn't buy it, his future would be worrying.

In the end, The Scholar Talks and Laughs still roared, "10 gold 20 silver!"

Shi Feng just smiled and said casually, "12 gold."

"12 gold 10 silver!" The Scholar Talks and Laughs covered his heart and roared, spitting blood. At this time, he wanted to eat Shi Feng, to make him spend so much money.

"How annoying, 20 gold." Shi Feng didn't want to waste time with The Scholar Talks and Laughs, and directly increased the price by a large margin. He didn't care about this little money at all, because he had earned a lot from Twilight Echo today.

"Black Flame!" The Scholar Talks and Laughs stared at Shi Feng, his eyes filled with despair. He only had 18 gold on his body, and he couldn't compete at all. He really didn't expect that in the end, it was Black Flame, whom he had always looked down on, who gave him the final blow, plunging him into the abyss of despair.

But Shi Feng didn't bother to pay attention to him, didn't even look at him, and shifted all his attention to the next auction item.

Purgatory Shadow!

This was also one of the only three treasures in this auction.
