Chapter 433: Chapter 433: The Old Ghost Keeps People Guessing
The dominance of the Chosen Alliance made everyone afraid to look, lest they be the next target.
The members of the Chosen Alliance sat in their seats, crossing their legs.
Some people sat there chatting leisurely, while others started singing.
At this moment, it was as if they were at home.
At 8:10, a few more people arrived.
There were a total of twenty-five, each with a righteous look but brimming with murderous aura.
The powerful presence of the twenty-five made people hesitant to look.
"These are members of the Law Enforcement Alliance, twenty-five of the ministers among them,"
Xiao Fan said softly.
Ye Chen could see that each of the twenty-five wore a medal, enough to indicate their identity.
"Ah, Brother Zhou! Long time no see!" a member of the Chosen Alliance greeted with a smile.
A burly man from the Law Enforcement Alliance also smiled and said, "Brother Biao, long time no see! How have you been?"
The man called Biao was a short man, about 1.6 meters tall, with a sturdy build.
When he smiled, his eyes nearly squinted into slits.
After exchanging greetings, the Law Enforcement Alliance members sat in the front row.
Indeed, the relationship between the two seemed to be quite good.
"The Law Enforcement Alliance gives face to the Chosen Alliance for two reasons: firstly, the Chosen Alliance members are powerful; secondly, there are many peculiar people in the Chosen Alliance, and their pets have unique abilities. Sometimes, the Law Enforcement Alliance also needs the help of the Chosen Alliance. The most critical point is that the Chosen Alliance Leader was once at a high level in the Law Enforcement Alliance, and later left to create the Chosen Alliance."
Xiao Fan looked ahead and whispered to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded, indicating he understood.
Indeed, he didn’t expect such a complex relationship between the two.
"How strong is the Chosen Alliance Leader?"
Xiao Fan shook his head: "I don’t know, and no one knows. Even if someone knows, others don’t know who that someone is."
Xiao Fan spoke a long string of words like a tongue-twister.
But Ye Chen still understood.
In the blink of an eye, it was already 8:30.
Buzz!
The lights in the front row turned on, illuminating the stage.
A group of figures came out.
They were graceful girls dressed in tidy outfits.
The girls slowly ran to the center of the stage, and as the music played, they began to dance gracefully.
The audience quieted down, enjoying the dance on stage.
The dance lasted for a full ten minutes before stopping.
The lights focused on the entrance, and a man in a black robe came out.
It was Old Ghost.
Behind Old Ghost were many girls, seemingly all employees of the Divine Land Trading Company.
Old Ghost stood in the center of the stage, where there was a podium with a hammer on it.
Many girls held something in their hands, standing straight behind Old Ghost.
"The girls are holding the auction items, some of which were brought by auction attendees, but most are from the Divine Land Trading Company itself."
Xiao Fan explained to Ye Chen.
One could say Xiao Fan was a very competent commentator, addressing questions before Ye Chen could ask them.
Old Ghost started with a few pleasantries and then got to the main topic.
But before that, Old Ghost teased a little suspense.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today’s auction will exceed everyone’s imagination. I believe everyone here has something they want. I, Old Ghost, guarantee that whatever you want, as long as it’s Celestial Tier, we can fulfill it. As long as you can pay the price, you can get it!"
Old Ghost said confidently.
As soon as he said this, the room erupted in an uproar!
"Haha, this Divine Land Trading Company is really confident! To say such bold words, the thing I need is the top-grade Celestial Tier material, the Five Elements Divine Stone. Can they provide it? Really!"
"Haha, I’ll see how they deal with it later!"
"Could it really be possible?"
"Not necessarily, the Divine Land Trading Company is such a large force, they have no reason to boast so arrogantly!"
There were those who believed, those who didn’t, and of course, most maintained a skeptical attitude.
One of the Law Enforcement Alliance members in the front row stroked his chin and frowned, "Old Ghost is usually steady, what’s up with him today, why start boasting?"
"Maybe they really have it?" One-Eyed chuckled.
Old Ghost heard everything everyone said.
Faced with the disdain and suspicion of the crowd, the smile on Old Ghost’s face grew broader!
"Today, I shall become a legend in the auction world!"
Old Ghost chuckled, "Alright everyone, no more delay, let’s invite our first auction item, the Fire Dragon Fruit! A Fire Attribute growth consumable, taking it can increase attack power by one percent, with a chance of directly increasing by five percent! Starting bid is 100,000, each raise must be no less than 10,000!"
A woman, holding a fiery red fruit, swayed her hips with a seductive stride, walking up step by step.
"Fire Dragon Fruit? Not very useful."
Ye Chen thought to himself. Although the Fire Dragon Fruit increases attack power, it has a limit. After taking ten, it’s no longer effective.
It’s just rare to obtain.
Moreover, it’s something that gamblers love. If all ten increased by five percent, that would be fifty percent! Truly godlike.
But that likelihood is no less than winning the lottery, getting your head caught in a door, stepping in dog poop when leaving, every light turning green, winning the lottery jackpot, getting a call from your first love saying they want to marry you, and your doctor saying your cancer diagnosis was a mistake!
"Brother Ye Chen, why not give it a try? After all, it’s useful for a Pill Master like you!"
Xiao Fan laughed.
"No, thanks, these things are better left to others, I don’t particularly like them."
"Haha! Alright, then let’s just watch the show!" Xiao Fan laughed.
"110,000 gold coins!"
"120,000!"
"I bid 150,000!"
Even though Ye Chen didn’t need it, there were still plenty of people who wanted it!
Because, at any time, there are always gamblers!
"I bid 180,000!"
Finally, the Fire Dragon Fruit was auctioned off at a price of 250,000.
Old Ghost seemed quite satisfied with this price, considering he only spent 150,000 gold coins acquiring this Fire Dragon Fruit.
"The second item, is a good one! Called the Three Holy Stones, an Earth Tier enchantment material, after enchanting, it can increase attack power by three percent, defense by three percent, and movement speed by three percent! An excellent enchantment material, starting bid, 300,000 gold coins!"
A golden stone was brought up by a woman, and under the lights, the whole stone radiated dazzling golden light.
"350,000!"
No sooner had it been brought up than someone immediately shouted!
A three percent increase is already quite high and good for an enchantment material!
After all, a Shadow Stone or Wind Stone only increases by 0.5 percent and even limits who can use it.
This Three Holy Stones has no such limitations!
