190: Auction of Sakura Kingdom War Loot

“Oh my god... this... this is the power of Forbidden City?”

“Hundreds of Dragon mounts?”

“It's terrifying... at this stage, which race group can stop the Huaxia Dragon Rider Legion?”

Deathly silence!

Absolute silence enveloped the massive cleared area in front of the auction house.

All previous dissatisfaction, complaints, doubts, and indignation were crushed into powder, leaving nothing behind.

Huang Chen paid no attention to the commotion of the onlookers. He nodded slightly at the middle-aged NPC, left his battle pets lined up outside the entrance, and then strode directly into the auction house with Tie Shengnan and All the women.

Inside the auction house, He Qingwan, who was hosting the auction, saw that Huang Chen and his group had taken their seats. She took a deep breath, faced the microphone, and announced in a voice that was as steady as possible yet still filled with excitement:

“The auspicious time has arrived! The auction officially begins!”

After an opening speech, He Qingwan began hosting the auction.

“The first item up for auction today is the spoils of war from a large-scale battle fought by the Forbidden City Guild five days ago. There are a total of 100 lots, each composed of 45th-level Silver sets. Although the grade is not high, buying in bulk and selling them back within your clan can not only yield a considerable profit margin but also greatly enhance the strength of the lower-level personnel within your race group.”

“The starting price for each lot is 100 Gold, with a minimum bid increment of 1 Gold. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid time will be taken. The large screen will display the top hundred bids, and you can change your bid at any time on the light screen located at your seat. The bidding time is 5 minutes.”

After speaking, He Qingwan also announced the general attribute panel of this batch of equipment so that everyone could have a basic understanding.

Immediately, the bidding numbers on the large screen began to scroll frantically.

[First: No. 10000, 150 Gold]

[Second: No. 10010, 148 Gold]

...[100th: No. 10086, 128 Gold]

At the same time, discussions rose and fell throughout the entire auction hall.

“100 sets of Level 45 Silver equipment starting at only 100 Gold, that's really too cheap.”

“Yes, if we can win them for less than 2 Gold, that's at least double the profit back in the clan.”

“Forget selling them, if I buy them, many people under me can undergo a major equipment change, raising their strength by at least one grade.”

...However, while everyone was discussing enthusiastically, the face of a man in a corner was so gloomy that water seemed ready to drip from it.

When Okamoto Yuji saw these auction items, he nearly cursed out loud on the spot.

These were the pieces of equipment belonging to their Amaterasu's most powerful warriors.

And Huang Chen was blatantly putting them here, slapping the face of Sakura Country repeatedly.

“baka! President, that Huang Chen truly deserves to die! He took out all the equipment of our warriors for auction.” The young man beside Okamoto Yuji was filled with righteous indignation.

“Shut up. Do you want them to discover that we are from Sakura Country?” Okamoto Yuji coldly glanced at the young man, who immediately fell silent, trembling in fear from the look.

He had been Okamoto's follower since childhood and knew well how maniacal the seemingly refined and elegant man in front of him was in private.

In less than 3 minutes, the 100th bid for this batch of Silver equipment had already risen to 210 Gold.

It was then that Okamoto Yuji said lightly,

“Place a bid. Win at least ten lots!”

“Hai!”

After responding, the young man began operating on the small screen.

Sakura Country did not have much liquid capital, but Okamoto Yuji had no choice but to buy.

In the battle at Satellite City No. 9, almost all of Sakura Country's high-level, well-equipped personnel were killed.

Currently, the number of people who have reached Level 50 is barely countable on one's fingers.

Therefore, he had to bid for this batch of relatively “high-level” equipment to boost the strength of his subordinates.

Two minutes later, the 100 lots of Silver equipment were sold at prices ranging from a high of 250 Gold to a low of 231 Gold.

Those participating in the auction were mainly the four Low Martial Race Groups other than Huaxia.

As for the High Martial Race Groups and Middle Martial Race Groups, they genuinely looked down on items of this caliber.

When the profit wasn't substantial, they lost interest.

Huang Chen did not pay much attention to the auction of low-level equipment.

This was just an appetizer, and even at the price of 250 Gold, the bidders would still make at least 70% profit when they took them back.

As for why they were auctioning this equipment at a low price, in Xie Chunyan's words, everyone has a psychological urge to find a bargain.

Allowing one group of people to find a bargain this time would attract more traffic the next time an auction was held.

The first batch of auction items brought 24,000 Gold in revenue to Forbidden City, marking a good start.

These items were all picked up as salvage, so no matter how much they sold for, it wasn't a loss.

“The second auction item is one month of teleportation access to Mie Wo City, totaling 100,000 slots, with a starting price of 2 Gold coins. I must specifically mention here that Mie Wo City is located in the former Satellite City No. 9 of Sakura Country. What you may not know is that before Sakura Country descended into the Star Abyss, they had many teachers with extremely advanced techniques. Currently, nearly 500,000 of these teachers are captured there and have begun operating...”

Before He Qingwan could finish speaking, a middle-aged man in the venue stood up and shouted abuse: “baka! I protest! Do you Huaxia people even have human rights...”

This man was the president of a certain Sakura Country association. During the battle of Satellite City No. 9, his subordinates firmly held him down in an inn, preventing him from participating in the fight.

Now, He Qingwan auctioning off items related to Sakura Country one after another was simply rubbing salt in his wounds!

He Qingwan merely glanced at the middle-aged man and shouted sweetly, “Guard, where are you? Escort this guest out, put him on the blacklist, and permanently ban him from entering the Zijin Auction House.”

As soon as her voice fell, a squad of NPC Guards immediately forcibly led the middle-aged man away.

Listening to the increasingly distant shouts of abuse, He Qingwan turned back, smiled, and continued, “I would like to remind everyone here that the Zijin Auction House is protected by the rules of Central City. Those who cause trouble here will be locked up for 15 days...”

“Now we continue the auction. I believe those who win the slots will have a pleasant trip to Mie Wo City.”

Okamoto Yuji and the young man watched the middle-aged man being taken away, exchanged glances, and both saw relief in the other's eyes.

Just moments ago, they were also on the verge of standing up and cursing.

If they hadn't held back then, they would be the ones being led away now... The number of bidders for the city entry slots this time was far greater than for the first batch of equipment.

The price had already surged to 5 Gold coins within just two minutes.

After all, everyone who could enter the main branch this time was worth millions.

These people had seen every kind of woman within their original race groups, but they truly had never tasted the women of other races.

Especially since He Qingwan had mentioned in her introduction that the techniques of these Teachers were several eras ahead.

Ultimately, ten thousand slots were settled at an average price of 10 Gold each.

After all, besides the women of Sakura Country, these people also wanted to use this location to gather intelligence on the Huaxia Clan side.

As the second batch of auction items settled, He Qingwan walked back onto the stage and said with a smile:

“I hope everyone enjoyed the two appetizers Forbidden City prepared.”

“Next, let us present the third item: 45th-level Diamond equipment, 10 sets, sold separately. The starting price for each set is 1,000 Gold, with a minimum bid increment of 100 Gold. Please note, the 'set' I refer to here is a true set in the proper sense, not something cobbled together.”

As soon as He Qingwan's voice fell, the entire venue instantly erupted.

Level 45 Diamond equipment, and a set from the same series?

You have to understand, even Feng Wu of the Vermilion Bird Clan hadn't managed to collect a full 45th-level Diamond womo set when she first reached Level 50.

At this point, everyone, including those from the High Martial World, stared intently at the large screen, waiting for He Qingwan to display the attributes and starting price.
