The belt with emerald attributes, its stats alone were superior to anyone present.
"Village Chief, this item's price is too high. We need to get approval from upstairs!"
Zhang Pingfan understood perfectly. After all, it was only the second time he'd seen an equipment piece with emerald attributes. The first was released by a beta tester, and it was unique. Now, the second one was in his hands.
The onlookers were unwilling to leave. This was a top-tier piece of equipment. What price would the three major guilds offer? After all, it had emerald attributes, a rarity.
"Guild Leader, the Village Chief has put out an emerald belt, a pair of golden shoes, and a blue cloak. What should we bid?"
The Guild Leader of Tianqi Dynasty maintained a serious expression. In their beta testing, they had killed countless bosses to obtain just one piece of equipment with emerald attributes, and it was also in his possession. He knew how powerful emerald equipment was.
"Even though it's level 10, it can rival golden equipment up to level 20. We'll offer 20 gold coins for the set of three!"
"Understood!"
The other two guilds hesitated. They had seen emerald equipment before, specifically the one worn by the Tianqi Dynasty's Guild Leader during the beta.
However, for level 10 emerald equipment, they were hesitant to bid.
"Let's see how much Tianqi Dynasty bids. We'll follow suit and increase the price!"
"Yes!"
Upon receiving the news, the Guild Leader of Tianshan Guild was ecstatic.
"Emerald equipment? Are you sure you're not mistaken!"
"Guild Leader, the Village Chief has displayed it. It's definitely not wrong. Can we secure it this time?"
"Nonsense, we don't lack money. We are people who do great things. Why would I care about such a small amount of money? We must secure these three items!"
"Understood. Then how much should we bid, or what's your estimated price, Guild Leader?"
"I lack nothing except money. Keep bidding aggressively!"
"Yes, Guild Leader!"
A few minutes later, players from the three major guilds returned, and players from Tianshan Guild had also arrived.
"Gentlemen, have you made a decision?"
A player from Tianqi Guild stated, "Our Guild Leader has said that the three items will be 20 gold coins in total!"
"Hiss! That's 200,000!"
"Big guilds really have money. They're offering 20 gold coins for level 10 equipment!"
"The vision is too narrow. If these big guilds get good equipment, they'll gain an equipment advantage, snatch boss territories, and the benefits they receive far outweigh this money. Look further ahead, have a bigger vision."
"That's right. The rich get richer, and the poor remain poor. That's the principle."
The player from Tianqi Dynasty looked smug, having directly offered 20 gold coins, daring them to consider their bids.
However, they seemed to have underestimated the importance of this equipment.
A member of the Liuli Gate said, "Village Chief, we bid 25 gold coins!"
A member of the Yue Gong said, "Village Chief, 30 gold coins. We bid 30 gold coins!"
"Damn, are the three major guilds insane?"
"They're so rich. If I could get this level of equipment, I'd be laughing in my dreams!"
Zhang Pingfan was also stunned. He had initially thought the price would cap at 10 gold coins, no more. But he had still underestimated these wealthy individuals.
The bidding had already reached 30 gold coins, and Zhang Pingfan's eyes were beaming.
"This friend has bid up to 30 gold coins. Is there anyone higher? No? Then I will proceed with the transaction!"
"31! My Liuli Gate bids 31!"
"I, Tianqi Dynasty, bid 35. Don't compete with me, I'm taking it!"
At 35 gold coins, Zhang Pingfan's eyes were squinted into happy lines.
Keep bidding, bid more. I still have a hidden profession here. At this rate, it'll reach at least a hundred gold coins!
Upon hearing this, the other two paused. To be honest, their Guild Leaders could only afford to bid up to 30 gold coins, especially since this equipment was only level 10.
Seeing no one else bidding, the Tianqi Dynasty member said, "Village Chief, let's trade. No one else dares to bid. I..."
"Who said no one dares to bid? Who do you think you are!"
As soon as the words fell, countless gazes were drawn.
The Tianqi Dynasty member glared at the speaker and said, "It's you again. I let you have it last time. Don't be ungrateful this time!"
The speaker was none other than the player from Tianshan Guild who had previously purchased Zhang Pingfan's equipment.
I knew it. This Tianshan Guild member looked like he was just watching the show, but he had a backup plan.
Come on, let the storm rage more fiercely.
The Tianshan Guild member said, "A joke. Equipment obtained through skill is not called yielding. Is this how big guilds treat small guilds?"
"Haha, just a clown, do you really think you can stand against our Tianqi Dynasty!"
"Pah! What Tianqi Dynasty? You just grew stronger by suppressing new guilds because you entered the industry early. We, Tianshan Guild, don't play by those rules."
The Tianqi Dynasty member let out a low growl.
"Are you sure you want to compete?"
"It's about taking it by skill, how can that be called competing? Mr. Village Chief, I bid 40 gold coins!"
During this time, the Tianqi Dynasty member had communicated with his Guild Leader. Upon receiving the news, the Tianqi Dynasty Guild Leader set the price at 50 gold coins. If the other party insisted on bidding higher, they would give up, but animosity had been established.
"Village Chief, we, Tianqi Dynasty, bid 50!"
"Whoosh!"
Everyone present gasped.
"Tianqi Dynasty is domineering! They've directly bid up to 50 gold coins, which is 500,000! Oh my god!"
"As expected of an established guild, they have full confidence!"
The Liuli Gate and Yue Gong stood by and watched the spectacle. Their Guild Leaders had considered participating, but now it seemed unnecessary. Letting Tianqi Dynasty and Tianshan Guild clash was also good.
The Tianshan Guild member sneered.
"Are you scared by 50? Sorry, we bid 60!!!"
"Damn, they're really going head-to-head! Tianshan Guild 666!"
"Tianshan Guild 666!"
"Arrogant and unrestrained! This is the first time I've seen someone dare to confront Tianqi Dynasty head-on."
"What's the background of this Tianshan Guild? They're so spirited!"
Zhang Pingfan's jaw almost dropped in shock. Damn it, is this the world of the wealthy?
I've long heard that some major guilds spend millions for a piece of equipment, and even tens of millions for an account. This is indeed not a legend.
The Tianshan Guild member mocked the Tianqi Dynasty member, "Bid more, why aren't you bidding anymore? Isn't Tianqi Dynasty very powerful? Just this?"
The Tianqi Dynasty member glared and said, "Your Tianshan Guild will regret this!"
"Heh, if I regret it, I won't bid. Our Guild Leader said that our Tianshan Guild lacks nothing except money. To all the freelance players present, our Guild Leader sincerely invites you to join our guild. Money is not an issue. As long as you have the ability, we'll recruit you at any price!"
Damn, they're advertising here. This requires a fee. Add money, add money.
