Chapter 161 Auction House

"Auction house!"

"Are you kidding me! Zero Wing can build an auction house? Isn't the design blueprint for auction houses supposed to be super rare?"

"This auction house is huge! It feels much bigger than the Tianzang Auction House. I remember Tianzang Auction House was three stories, but this one has at least five!"

"Let's go in and take a look."

"Perfect timing. I was planning to go to Red Iron Town to sell some items, but this saves me a lot of trouble."

...

The passing players looked at the revealed advanced auction house, each one stunned, thinking they were seeing things.

Some lurking guild players were completely shocked to see the Zero Wing Auction House.

Ever since the Tianzang Guild built an auction house, all the major guilds, and even the super guilds, were alarmed and wanted to get their hands on an auction house design blueprint. Unfortunately, it was too rare, and until now, no super guild had been heard of building one.

With the appearance of the Zero Wing Auction House, the surrounding players flocked into it.

When everyone entered the auction house, they were immediately dumbfounded.

Because after entering the auction house, the interior space was much larger than what they saw from the outside. The hall on the first floor alone was the size of a stadium, and the various displays inside made it feel like a palace, even more luxurious than the auction houses in NPC cities, only slightly inferior to the auction house in the royal city.

Moreover, the entire Zero Wing Auction House had a total of seven floors. The first floor was the consignment hall, the second floor was the hall for purchasing consigned items, the third floor was for bartering, the fourth floor was for NPC primary auctions, the fifth floor for NPC intermediate auctions, the sixth floor for NPC advanced auctions, and the seventh floor was where guilds could privately organize large auctions.

"This Zero Wing Auction House is too amazing, it can even barter!"

"That's nothing, there are even NPC-hosted auctions here. The primary auctions are held every three days, the intermediate auctions are held every week, and the advanced auctions are held every fifteen days. It's awesome!"

"I've been to the Tianzang Auction House, but compared to this Zero Wing Auction House, the difference in level is too great."

"However, the qualifications for participating in the NPC auctions are very strict. Even the primary auctions require a transaction volume of 150 gold in the Zero Wing Auction House for one week. It's probably difficult for even expert players like us to reach that, let alone the intermediate auctions requiring 800 gold in fifteen days, and the advanced auctions are the worst, requiring 5,000 gold within a month, and then it's all reset every month. This Zero Wing Guild is too ruthless..."

"I don't think this requirement is too high. It shouldn't be a big deal for powerful adventure teams. The entire adventure team can work hard to sell items worth 5,000 gold in a month, but it's impossible for individual players. Besides, individual players who go to such advanced auctions won't have money, so it's useless to go."

...

After entering the Zero Wing Auction House, everyone discussed excitedly. For free players, bartering was definitely their favorite way to trade, and the players of the major adventure teams were even more excited.

In an instant, news of the Zero Wing Auction House spread throughout the Star-Moon Kingdom.

"No way, Zero Wing's auction house is too awesome, and it's now connected to the Eternal Darkness City. Are they going to dominate?"

"Great, I have several items that I want to barter, so I don't have to worry about the exploitation of the major guilds."

"This Tianzang Auction House is not even on the same level as the Zero Wing Auction House!"

"I wonder how much the Zero Wing Auction House charges for handling fees. I hope it's not too high. I'm willing to sell even if it's 15% for bartering."

...

On the official forum of the Star-Moon Kingdom, news about the Zero Wing Auction House was flying everywhere, completely overshadowing the news of the Tianzang Auction House lowering its handling fees, or rather, no one even cared about it.

"How is this possible?" Wu Xia looked at the latest news from her subordinates, her expression indescribably complex, with shock, anger, and some helplessness.

The foundation of Red Iron Town was the auction house.

They were also planning to use the auction house to give the Zero Wing Guild a hard time, but now, they were being slapped back and forth by the Zero Wing Guild. All previous efforts had instantly turned into bubbles.

As soon as the news of the Zero Wing Auction House came out, the number of players in Red Iron Town dropped by as much as 20%, and this data was still increasing...

It must be said that bartering was too attractive to most players.

When the news of the Zero Wing Auction House became known to everyone, You Yu Wei Xiao also released an announcement according to Shi Feng's request: the Zero Wing Auction House only charged a handling fee of 1%, and members of the auction house could sell five items for free every day, which instantly made the entire official forum explode.

"Is the Zero Wing Guild crazy? Such a good auction house only charges such a small handling fee. Isn't the Zero Wing Guild afraid of losing money?"

"So ruthless! I thought the Tianzang Guild was ruthless enough, but the Zero Wing Guild is even more ruthless. It seems that the Tianzang Auction House is completely finished..."

"Is the Zero Wing Guild preparing to unify the auction houses of the Star-Moon Kingdom?"

...

At this time, whether it was free players, major adventure teams, or major guilds, they couldn't help but gasp when they saw the announcement from the Zero Wing Guild. They were all shocked by the Zero Wing Guild's big move.

Bartering, coupled with the opening of the teleportation channel to the Eternal Darkness City, and only charging a 1% handling fee, was simply heaven for players who often sold items in the auction house. At that time, players from all the major NPC cities of the Star-Moon Kingdom would definitely flock to Stone Forest Town.

This was simply to completely unify the rhythm of the Star-Moon Kingdom.

"Sister Wu Xia, what should we do now?" A player who managed the Tianzang Auction House looked at Wu Xia and asked quietly.

As soon as the Zero Wing Guild's announcement came out, the number of players in the Tianzang Auction House directly decreased by more than 50%. If this continued, there would be fewer and fewer players selling items in the Tianzang Auction House...

"Zero Wing!" Wu Xia looked at Zero Wing's announcement and almost shouted out word by word.

If this continued, let alone the Tianzang Auction House maintaining the development of the town, it would be good if the Tianzang Guild didn't invest gold coins into the Tianzang Auction House.

This news made the adventure teams that were originally stationed in Red Iron Town regret it. As long as they were stationed in Red Iron Town, they couldn't enter Stone Forest Town. They knew that these adventure teams had a lot of rare items in their hands. It was a pity to exchange these items for gold coins, but there was no opportunity to barter.

Now that they finally had this opportunity, it was destroyed by themselves...

At this time, in Stone Forest Town, due to the appearance of the Zero Wing Auction House, the number of players pouring into Stone Forest Town directly surged by more than 50%. The streets were simply packed with people, and the swarming player merchants were constantly contacting You Yu Wei Xiao, willing to sign all kinds of unequal contracts, completely overwhelming You Yu Wei Xiao, who couldn't even get in touch.

"Guild Leader, according to the statistics we just received, the number of players who have become members of the Zero Wing Auction House has exceeded 3,000, and this number is still soaring. Moreover, the transaction volume of the auction house far exceeds expectations. The handling fees collected during this period alone are more than 200 gold!" You Yu Wei Xiao held the statistical list, her mouth almost unable to close. It had only been a short time since the announcement was released, and more players would come later. It was conceivable that the future net income of the Zero Wing Auction House would probably far exceed the Candlelight Firm and the Arena. She couldn't help but suggest, "Guild Leader, it's about time now, should we start holding auctions?"
