The World Online

Ouyang Shuo was not the only one who had the ambitions of obtaining this token.

Any Lord that wanted to expand, especially expand overseas, wanted the token. For example William, Caesar, and Jack all wanted this item.

The 4th system update had greatly increased the movement speeds of troops. Lords who were held up in their own country’s fights would not be interested in this item at the moment.

Hence, when the price reached 900 thousand, there was only Ouyang Shuo and the other three left.

”1 million!”

Ouyang Shuo bid a critical point price.

No matter how good this token was the Lords could not waste their resources. After all, this was just the third item.

”1.1 million gold!”

The one that bid was Caesar; he turned around and gave Ouyang Shuo yet another provocative look. Looking at this, William and Jack decided to give up and let them fight it out.

Ouyang Shuo did not bother and expressionlessly said, ”1.3 million gold!”

”....”

Caesar’s eyes froze. He wanted to con Qiyue Wuyi but looking at this fellow’s expression, he was unsure if Qiyue Wuyi wanted the token or was trying to set a trap for him.

If he followed and Qiyue Wuyi did not follow, that would be a catastrophe.

Caesar hesitated and decided not to bid. He was not rash and would not waste his gold just because of his emotions.

With that, Ouyang Shuo obtained the teleportation token with 1.3 million gold. From start to finish, his expression did not change at all.

When Caesar saw this lack of expression change, his brows rose.

’Did I con him?’ Caesar was confused.

...

The following three items were all precious items for adventure gamemode players. There were God Weapons, hidden occupation scrolls, and a strong cultivation method.

Ouyang Shuo did not want any of these items, so he just sat and watched quietly.

On the contrary, the adventure gamemode players were going all out. Especially the western players, who wanted to obtain the god staff. In the end, the item went for 1.8 million gold.

After these three items were auctioned off, another hour had passed.

The tempo of the auction was extremely quick. There was no pause in between items; it was simply one item after the other.

The seventh item was one that was especially made for the China region - Kunlun sub map key. With this item, players could activate the Kunlun sub map.

Kunlun had the end of the Song and start of the Yuan Dynasties as its historical background. It described the story of how Liang Su went from a wanderer to an expert of a generation. It was deemed as one of the Wuxia classics of the 21st century.

This novel was millions of words long due to the descriptive passages about the underworld. There were many up and downs and great character descriptions. The contents within included underworld heroics love and hate, geography, mechanisms, formations, and many other aspects.

Like how China had the information piece released, other countries had similar ones with different backgrounds.

Of course, China had the most related sub maps as their culture was the deepest and most rooted.

Hence, the fight for the seventh item was limited to only Blood Romance and Xie Siyun.

”800 thousand!”

Blood Romance bid once more; he turned around and looked at Xie Siyun with a smile, ”This is my final bid.” The two of them could be considered half an ally and business partners, so Blood Romance did not want to go all out.

Furthermore, he had already obtained the underground map and had only limited funds on hand.

When Xie Siyun heard that, she hesitated. However, in the end, she bid 850 thousand, obtaining the key.

During such a global occasion, the two truly could not fight too intensely with one another. Furthermore, it was just a key, so one would not know exactly what they would get.

Xie Siyun hesitated because she had received Ouyang Shuo’s message.

Considering her wish, Ouyang Shuo suggested that he was willing to use 200 thousand to exchange for her rights to enter the sub map.

Kunlun was a five-man sub map, so for Ouyang Shuo to invest 200 thousand was already a lot.

This was a win-win situation. Obviously, she would not decline his offer.

Even if Ouyang Shuo did not talk about money, with their relationship, Xie Siyun would agree if Song Jia wanted to join. However, it would be hard to explain to her guild members in such a scenario.

On this point, Ouyang Shuo was truly thoughtful.

...

As the dust settled, the auctioneer started to introduce the 8th time, ”Devil Prohibition Scroll. After use, the player can prohibit use of teleportation scrolls in an area of a thousand miles, lasting for one day. Starting bid 500 thousand, no buyout.”

When Di Chen and Chun Shenjun saw this item, their expressions tightened, and they pretended to casually glance at Ouyang Shuo.

Ouyang Shuo laughed to himself as he knew what Di Chen and the others were worried about. If this was before the Battle of Yunnan, Ouyang Shuo would have bought it but now it was not something he would use.

If he really bought it, it would adversely affect Baiqi’s black chess piece plan instead.

Noticing their expressions, Ouyang Shuo confirmed that the Yanhuang Alliance was using a teleportation tactic again and were afraid the scroll would spoil their plans.

Not buying was not buying, but he should put up a show at the right time.

Ouyang Shuo smiled and bid, ”600 thousand gold!”

Ouyang Shuo was not the only one interested in this item. A one thousand mile radius was huge, even in the game.

If one used this item well, it would be enough to decide the outcome of an entire war.

”700 thousand gold!”

”800 thousand gold!”

...

”1 million!”

The bidding price rose quickly. In the midst of all of this, Ouyang Shuo bid once more.

”1.2 million!”

The one who bid was Russian Region Lord Pushkin; this was also the first time he had bid.

Anyone who roughly understood him would know that his family was an absolute shark, big in both politics and business.

When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he purposely pretended to feel regretful and gave up.

When Di Chen and Chun Shenjun saw that, they secretly heaved sighs of relief.

Similar to the China region, Russia was also huge. Within the country, Pushkin was facing many competitors, so he was interested in this scroll.

As for the other Lords in Europe, including William, Henry, and Caesar, they did not bid since the start of this item because their position in their countries was already solidified and no one could shake their place.

In the end, the scroll fell into Pushkin’s hands.

...

The auction was nearing its end with only two items left.

Ouyang Shuo was a little disappointed. He brought four million and could only spend 1.5 as he had not seen much that he liked. He was hoping that the last two items could surprise him.

The ninth item was a red-white circular ball the size of a fist.

”Territory Prosperity Beast; after use, the player can summon a territory prosperity beast. Starting bid 500 thousand, no buyout, please make your bids.”

”Prosperity beast, what’s that?”

The Lords were all stunned. They knew of protector beasts but knew nothing about prosperity beasts.

”Is it a lucky item?”

The Lords looked at one another. Who would spend hundreds of thousands on a lucky item?

But with the way Gaia acted, how could it put a useless item up for the auction? The only possibility was that the prosperity beast had some special skill.

When Ouyang Shuo heard that, he was tempted and excited. He knew a little about this matter; the prosperity beast had a skill that could bring luck to the territory.

Just that alone made it special.

Even so, Ouyang Shuo did not act and allowed the other Lords to bid.

”550 thousand gold!”

”600 thousand gold!”

...

”700 thousand gold!”

”750 thousand gold!”

...

This was the slowest item in the auction.

”800 thousand gold!”

Ouyang Shuo bid for the first time.

Instantly, the other Lords were tempted.

”Do you know what the specialty of the beast is?” Henry turned around and asked.

How could Ouyang Shuo speak the truth? He smiled, ”This is the first time I’ve heard of it. Gaia is auctioning this item, so it must be something good. I would rather buy wrongly than give up a potentially good item.”

”Rich!” Henry gave him the thumbs up and dropped out of the race.

A few rounds continued and the price rose to a million. Di Chen and Chun Shenjun both bid.

One must not look at how Di Chen did not have any good impressions of Ouyang Shuo; he still praised the latter’s foresight.

”1.3 million!”

Ouyang Shuo bid once more, scaring away many competitors.

All of them could be considered rich, but no one dared to be like Ouyang Shuo and spend over a million for a chance.

This was the difference.

”1.4 million!”

Di Chen gave up but Chun Shenjun gritted his teeth and bid again.

When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he remained expressionless, ”1.5 million. This is my final bid. If you want it, bid again and it’s yours.”

”I’m not a fool!”

”Then thank you.” Ouyang Shuo smiled.

Chun Shenjun felt a little regretful and wanted to bid once more. At the crucial moment, Di Chen stopped him and said softly, ”Do not fall for his trick.”

Di Chen wanted to see Chun Shenjun make a fool out of himself but not today and not in such a place.

Chun Shenjun was astonished and looked at Di Chen with gratitude. In the end, Ouyang Shuo obtained the Territory Prosperity Beast with 1.5 million.

At this point, only the last item of the auction was left.
