37: Chapter Thirty-Seven: He Will Surely Achieve Greatness in the Future

Ye Weiyang had finally struggled free from the tiger's den, squeezing to the front of the shop in a pathetic state, his hair disheveled and one side of his face slightly swollen.

"Today is just too unlucky."

"My lifelong reputation has been completely ruined ever since I met that guy, God Slayer."

He couldn't help but look up at the sky in melancholy, "Since there is Ye... why must there be God Slayer..."

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The surrounding players heard him, and each of them looked at him with a confused expression.

"Who is this? Did he get some kind of shock? Why is he screaming so loudly? Is his brain broken..."

"Shh! Shut your mouth quickly. You dare to scold the big brother who is ranked fifth? Do you not want to keep playing?"

"Uh, my eyesight suddenly went bad. The big brother shouldn't hold it against me..."

"Don't say that. Given his neuroticism, it wouldn't be strange for him to do anything."

Ye Weiyang heard the surrounding voices and felt so embarrassed he wanted to curl his toes, but given his status and position, it would be too beneath him to bicker with these ordinary people.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his anger, and locked his gaze onto the bone jade scepter at the auction.

At this moment, the price of the weapon had already surged to 1.8 million.

For someone with a monthly salary of 15,000 like him, this price was an astronomical figure.

However, he wasn't panicked at all; he had a backer, and a very solid one at that.

Just after he finished reporting, the Department Head tossed him an unlimited black card.

His confidence was instantly maxed out.

Ye Weiyang's eyes turned cold, and his lips curled up confidently.

"Everything I've lost... I will take it all back!"

He opened the Trading House page, and his fingers typed the number into the bidding panel, 20,000...

[Ding: Item bone jade scepter, player Ye Weiyang bids 20 million.]

The players watching the spectacle around him widened their eyes in shock.

"How... how much? 20 million? The price has directly jumped more than tenfold. Which consortium's idiot son is this? It's just... so enviable!"

"Big brother, uncle, no... Daddy who placed the bid, are you still looking for a thirty-year-old baby~~"

"Same question..."

"+1"

"+2"

Ye Weiyang stared at the system notification, completely dumbfounded, his face turning black in an instant.

"Damn it, I typed it wrong! I accidentally pressed an extra zero..."

"It, it should be fine, right?"

"It's only 20 million; for the Department Head, it's just pocket change."

He tried his best to comfort himself, pretending to be calm on the surface while his lips twitched, but his heart was bleeding.

"Oh my god, I really want to kill myself. That's so much money, I couldn't earn that in a lifetime, and it's just gone like that..."

On the other side, Long Aotian looked at the bidding price, and a rare look of panic appeared in his eyes.

"Young Master Long, the price of this equipment has completely exceeded expectations. The Matriarch sent a message telling us to give up." A warrior with the ID 'Qingfeng Mingyue' stood next to Long Aotian and said seriously.

"I know! I'm not that stupid."

After all, the value of any equipment has a limit! No matter how good the attributes are, in the early stages, it only belongs to the transition period. Once time passes, it will have no value at all.

Similarly, on Wang Sichong's side, he had originally intended to win this equipment at all costs.

He had even spared no effort to use his family connections to raise 12 million in funds in a short time, just to take it in one fell swoop at the last moment.

But he didn't expect Ye Weiyang to suddenly appear halfway, offering 20 million right off the bat, not even giving him a chance to snipe it.

"Why? Ever since I started playing this crappy game, what I want never belongs to me. Damn it..." Wang Sichong kicked the lackey beside him and said angrily.

"Brother Chong, calm down..." The lackey beside him scrambled up and said with a lewd smile, "I heard that two pairs of twins from the Persian planet arrived at the Drunken Fairy Pavilion yesterday. They are voluptuous, blonde-haired, and blue-eyed. How about I arrange them for you tonight to cool off?"

Wang Sichong took a few deep breaths, his expression softening slightly, "Let's go... let's go level up. I don't want to stay in this crappy place for another second."

"Miss, do you still need to raise the price?" the maid asked, standing behind Bai Lu.

"No need! There's no need to let the seller profit. According to my understanding, Ye Weiyang belongs to the Huaxia War God Palace."

"Then this matter is easy to handle. After the bidding ends, just go to the high-level officials of the War God Palace and take it," Bai Lu said nonchalantly.

The maid nodded, agreeing with this.

In an instant, several major forces gave up at the same time, and no one else in the entire venue dared to bid.

Everyone understood that no one dared to bid against Ye Weiyang for this server's first rare staff.

The bidding time quickly reached the final ten seconds. Many players in Luofeng City had already dispersed, but quite a few people were still guarding the entrance of the adult shop, recording, waiting for the final result.

[5...4...3...2...1!]

[Ding! Bidding ended!]

[Congratulations to player Ye Weiyang for successfully winning the rare equipment: bone jade scepter with 20 million Universe Coins!]

99% of the players were not surprised, and the only one who wished for an accident was "Ye Weiyang" himself, who had won the weapon.

"I didn't mean to bid! I just slipped and pressed an extra zero!"

Just after he placed the bid, a few seconds later, he received a greeting from the Department Head.

"Kid! Not bad, 20 million without hesitation. I really didn't misjudge you; you will surely become someone great in the future..."

He had already prepared himself to be scolded severely, but the Department Head not only didn't scold him but was actually praising him?

Ye Weiyang's heart had just risen with a glimmer of luck, but the Department Head's next sentence completely dumbfounded him.

"By the way, the maximum expected price for this weapon was 10 million."

"The extra 10 million you bid won't come from public funds; it will be deducted from your monthly salary. I believe you can understand my good intentions."

Ye Weiyang: "???"

His whole body trembled, and he almost died on the spot.

Deducted from salary?!

He only makes 15,000 a month!

How many years will it take to pay off 10 million?!

He calculated in his head for a long time but couldn't figure it out, finally reaching the conclusion:

Well, he'll probably be working for nothing for the rest of his life.

He wanted to explain, but was interrupted by the Department Head's words.

"Kid Ye, don't say I didn't give you a chance. As long as you can recruit God Slayer, this matter will be wiped clean, and I can even give you a raise. It's up to you."

Ye Weiyang stood frozen on the spot, wanting to cry but unable to.

The voice on the other end of the phone continued: "Later, a player with the ID 'Qingqing Zijin' will find you in the game. Just trade the weapon you just got to him."

Ye Weiyang: "..."

So... he shouldered a debt of 10 million, played the fool, and in the end, the equipment wasn't even his?!

The voice fell, the phone hung up directly, leaving Ye Weiyang alone to silently shed two tears.

Just as he was wondering whether to take the weapon to auction again to recoup some losses, a voice came from behind.

"Hello, Major Ye. I am here under orders to take the weapon. Could you see if it's convenient to trade it to me?"

He turned his head and saw a stunningly beautiful young girl standing behind him, ID—Qingqing Zijin.
