Chapter 1 The Players' Frenzy

The moment the private housing in Shilin Town was announced, the players in the first-floor hall erupted in excitement.

The reason this Candlelight Auction attracted so many people was primarily because of the Titan Holy City slots, and secondly, the private housing in Shilin Town.

Perhaps the private housing in a small town didn't matter to the major powers, but it was very important to the vast number of free players.

"I must buy one this time, so I can go to the arena in Shilin Town at any time. I don't believe I can't surpass those experts."

"A house in Shilin Town is not bad as a training base."

...

Many free experts and adventure teams in the first-floor hall were now watching the housing introduction on the stage, their eyes gleaming.

The current Shilin Town was no longer comparable to what it was before the guild war. Not only was the magic density higher, but the number of wandering merchants coming and going to Shilin Town was also increasing. The most important point was that the number of expert players attracted by the arena was also increasing.

Every day, there were hundreds of PK matches between expert players that one could watch to improve, not to mention participating in the arena matches, with the opportunity to learn the rumored combat techniques and enjoy many benefits.

However, it was always a bit inconvenient to travel back and forth to Shilin Town. If they could buy private housing, it would be much easier to come and go to Shilin Town in the future.

"Everyone has seen the introduction, the starting price is 300 gold, and each increase must not be less than 10 gold. Let's begin!"

As Melancholy Smile's voice fell, the players in the first-floor hall began to bid frantically.

"310 gold!"

"320 gold!"

...

"500 gold!"

The soaring price was astonishing.

500 gold was enough to buy a very good house in an NPC town, but this price obviously hadn't reached the limit for Shilin Town.

It wasn't until the price reached 610 gold that it was bought by an adventure team.

This made the major powers extremely envious.

Player town housing construction was very cheap. The cheapest was 20 gold, and the most expensive was only 100 gold. At the same time, the more expensive the house, the larger the area it occupied. In order to save land area, the Zero Wing Guild would definitely not choose to build 100-gold houses. It goes without saying that they were all 20-gold houses.

Now they were being sold for more than 600 gold each, making a huge profit.

This Candlelight Auction sold a total of 50 houses, which was not worth mentioning compared to the number of adventure teams and expert players present.

Except for the initial sale at 610 gold, the price afterward became higher and higher. Among the 50 houses, the most expensive sold for 740 gold, averaging 650 gold. 50 houses directly yielded 32,500 gold.

Although this amount was nothing to super powers, it was a large sum of money for first-rate guilds. It was enough to buy a lot of ordinary mounts for the guild's elite members, and also to purchase weapons and equipment to improve the quality of the guild's warehouse, making guild members more willing to earn points.

"Guild Leader, now that the opportunity is rare, why don't we sell a few more sets?" Melancholy Smile looked at the disappointed expressions of many players offstage, knowing that the houses they were selling were far from reaching market saturation, and couldn't help suggesting to Shi Feng.

"No, just follow the original plan. First, let others know the benefits of buying a house in Shilin Town. We won't have to worry about not being able to sell them for higher prices in the future," Shi Feng directly rejected.

Although Shilin Town had built many more houses, he had other plans.

That was the Shilin Town migration plan, which would attract more players and sell at higher prices.

Selling these houses now was just to let everyone know the benefits of getting a house.

As the auction of private housing in Shilin Town ended, the major super powers sitting in the second-floor boxes also turned their attention to the stage.

Because the next item to be auctioned was the reason they came here.

The slots for Titan Holy City!

For ordinary guilds, these slots were not very useful, but for super powers like them, it was different. Maybe these slots could allow the guild's well-known lifestyle players to leap into becoming masters.

And a lifestyle master possessed the power to transform a firm.

When the firm earned ample funds, the guild would naturally develop faster and more easily.

"Is this the Titan Holy City?" An old man with a white beard looked at the introduction of the Holy City slots on the stage, his eyes gleaming. "Bei Chen, you must get me a slot for the Holy City this time. This is what we agreed upon."

The stage didn't explain much about the Holy City slots, but instead informed about the information regarding the Titan Holy City.

Inside the Life Association of Titan Holy City, one could rent a studio. The magic density inside was far superior to that of a primary meditation room. Moreover, there were research labs on the mid-level floating islands, allowing players to freely look up various material data. In addition, there were a large number of master-level production videos and highlighted production points.

There were even grandmaster-level production videos, but these could only be seen inside the research lab.

However, the prices were very expensive. Just a primary research lab cost two hundred gold a day, intermediate was five hundred gold a day, and advanced was even more powerful, at one thousand two hundred gold a day. This price made even the super powers present gasp.

However, whether it was intermediate or advanced, they couldn't be rented just by wanting to. One also needed to reach a certain reputation.

"Master Huo Lian, please rest assured. Our Zhan Lang Guild will do what we say, and we will definitely get you a slot," Bei Chen Tianlang said to the old man beside him with great respect.

At the same time, the other powers in the second-floor boxes were also highly motivated and determined to get their hands on a slot.

"Everyone has seen the Holy City slots. The starting price is 500 gold, and each increase must not be less than 100 gold. If that's not enough, you can use city land as collateral, but we will only use the market price for the city land as collateral. Let's begin!"

As Melancholy Smile announced the auction rules, the atmosphere of the entire venue was ignited to the highest point.

"500 gold!"

"600 gold!"

"800 gold!"

...

In the blink of an eye, the price reached a high price of three thousand gold, which made everyone stunned. This directly made all the first-rate guilds present choose to give up. This price could buy a good piece of land in an ordinary NPC city. And the remaining people were the super powers in the second-floor boxes.

The Holy City slots were like the Thunder Island通行证 (Tōngxíngzhèng - pass). For those who needed them, the price would be very high, and for those who didn't need them, they were worthless. And the major super powers had a batch of players who were close to becoming lifestyle masters, but they didn't understand the material data of God's Domain, and they were not familiar with the production techniques of God's Domain, so they had not become masters.

As long as they obtained the Holy City slots, the major super powers were confident that they could cultivate lifestyle masters and further improve the strength of the firm. The benefits brought at that time would not be just the little bit they were paying now.

"5,000 gold!" Bei Chen Tianlang directly increased the price by 2,000 gold in one breath.

"This madman, it seems he must have it." The other super powers couldn't help but shake their heads and give up. It wasn't that they couldn't afford the price, but that the price was too expensive. Their money didn't come from thin air. Just buying more than three thousand gold had exceeded their expectations. Moreover, the major powers were preparing for the battle for Thunder Island in order to develop the guild, and they didn't have that many gold coins on hand, so they simply gave Bei Chen Tianlang a slot first.

Anyway, there were ten slots. Their seven major powers could get one on average. There was no need to rush. They could also use this to consume the Zhan Lang Guild's funds, so that the Zhan Lang Guild would not be able to compete with them in the next auction.

Then the auction for the second slot began.

"5,000 gold!" Bei Chen Tianlang shouted again.
