Chapter 302 - W-virus Enhancement Potions, Auction Start!
Chapter 302: W-virus Enhancement Potions, Auction Start!
According to Sister Rui’s arrangement, there would still be a second batch of 10 Standard-Grade Eye of the Thunders and a third batch of 10 Excellent-Grade Eye of the Thunders, as well as three Perfect-Grade Eye of the Thunders to be auctioned solo!
Therefore, the profits from just the Eye of the Thunders alone was probably around 30,000,000!
Not to mention that there were still the 40 pieces of Rare equipment and the Whisper of the Wind ornament set, which were estimated to be worth almost 20,000,000!
And of course, the all-important W-virus Enhancement Potions hadn’t been sold yet either!
Of all the sellers in the whole auction, only Glory Guild with their “Desert Crown” stood a chance of earning as much as he would! Therefore, no matter how much this ring ended up costing, he would have sufficient credits to win it!
In addition to competing for the ring, Feng Luo also bid on two types of B-Grade blood tonics and other rare consumables. After he placed the bids, a loud wave of cheering suddenly sounded from the screen before Big Pineapple!
The huge screen behind the auction stage had revealed the next item, which was a blue-colored spiraling tube injection syringe!
The basic W-virus Enhancement Potion!
“Wow, the Enhancement Potion is going to be auctioned next up!”
“Finally!”
Many players in the hall were already becoming excited.
“This item is a Level 45 Warrior Rare Alloy Longsword, with an attack power as high as 550 and a C- Grade attack coefficient, at the same time it enhances…”
On the auction stage, the male auctioneer in a leather suit was still smiling as he described the silver alloy sword currently on auction!
“Hurry up and auction the Enhancement Potion!”
“Who cares about that alloy sword!”
“Sell that thing off already! We’re all waiting for the Enhancement Potion!”
Some of the players below the stage in the hall had already started jeering, and the distorted noises made the two auctioneers break into cold sweats as they hurriedly announced the start of the auctioning of this Rare longsword!
In the end, nobody wanted to bid on the Level 45 Rare Alloy Longsword after only two rounds, and it was sold at a price of just 20,000 credits more than its starting price!
The owner of this longsword was probably already in tears. But as he was crying, all the buyers were delighted!
Because just then, with a change of image, a faint blue-colored spiraling tube Enhancement Potion had appeared on the screen in front of everyone!
[Basic Enhancement Virus (W) Enhancement Potion · Version II]
100% rate of fusion success upon use. Obtain: Intelligence +10, MP +300, Energy Condensation Rate +5%, MP Basic Recovery Rate +20%…
Evaluation: Perfect!
The first auctioned potion, main enhanced attribute – intelligence!
…
Which profession was the most common in War? The answer wasn’t clear, because both Warriors and Manipulators had very high populations, and the game officials did not give out the game’s statistics!
But if asked which profession had the most rich people? Then 90% of people would answer: the Manipulators! The Machine Gunners and Mechanists were also known for their wealth, but these two professions had rather small populations.
Only the Energy Manipulators, holding Energy converters (staffs), wearing gorgeous Energy clocks, controlling fire dragons, tornadoes, meteorites, and storms, possessing huge-range attack power, were the true profession loved by average local tycoons!
After all, the Manipulators had gorgeous equipment, rad skills, and even huge-range attacks that could slay entire groups of monsters!
In comparison, Warriors and Gunners seemed like losers. Of course, except for the local tycoon Machine Gunners! Hence, Sister Rui had put this Intelligence-boosting Enhancement Potion up for auction first, clearly purposefully!
“War’s first W-virus basic Enhancement Potion will now be auctioned, starting price of 3,000,000 credits, each raise cannot be less than 100,000 credits!”
“It starts now!”
The male and female auctioneers on the golden stage did not need to do an introduction at all. All the players participating in the auction were already well-versed with the attributes of this Enhancement Potion that had been heavily promoted by Huan Yu.
Those who had decided on buying already could not wait!
Therefore, even if the first W-virus Enhancement Potion’s starting price was already as high as 3,000,000 credits, the price was still rising rapidly!
“3,500,000!”
“3,700,000!”
“4,200,000!”
“5,200,000!”
In less than 10 seconds, the price of the first Intelligence-enhancing Enhancement Potion had already broken through the 5,000,000-credit gate, and the bids weren’t slowing down!
“5,000,000 and it’s still rising. These people are insane!”
“All the equipment I’m carrying doesn’t even cost 50,000 credits, and there are people who would spend 5,000,000 credits to buy a one-time-use Enhancement Potion!”
“That’s a very poor way to phrase that. This Enhancement Potion is not a one-time-use; it’s permanent!”
On the players’ forum where the auction was live streamed, the players who were watching for enjoyment were already swiping the screen.
“What the f*ck, it’s still rising. I prepared a total of 4,000,000 credits; didn’t think I’d be locked out of bidding in the first few seconds!”
“I’m worse off with 3,000,000. That’s just barely enough for the starting price!”
“We’ve got no choice. The first Enhancement Potion has surged so high, we’ll have to wait for the next ones, see if they drop?”
The players in the hall were similarly glued to their screens on the region channel!
“Isn’t this price a little too high? They should know that the enhanced attributes of one Enhancement Potion are not even equivalent to a piece of Level 45 Normal equipment!”
There were also some players who felt that such a price wasn’t even remotely worth it.
Realistically speaking, the attributes enhanced by the basic W-virus Enhancement Potion were indeed unable to match up to the attributes enhanced by most equipment. The attributes enhanced by anyone Level 35 or 45 Fine accessory might even be higher!
But clearly, it could not be calculated this way.
Players’ equipment was limited in quantity; when a player was fully clad in equipment, his attributes would have reached the limit. Other players just needed to have the same equipment as him, and they would be able to achieve the same attribute enhancement effects!
The permanently enhanced attributes after injecting the W-virus Enhancement Potion were undoubtedly different. Due to the quantity limit, only a few people would be able to acquire the potion, so it would create an important gap between any two parties with similar equipment!
Taking an Enhancement Potion was actually equivalent to having one more piece of normal equipment than others. If someone took all four potions, then it would essentially be one more Rare-grade accessory!
To those local tycoon players who were extremely wealthy, this was naturally something worth pursuing!
And so, the price of the first Enhancement Potion was continuing to rise!
“7,800,000!”
“7,900,000!”
“8,000,000!”
In the blink of an eye, the price had already broken through the 8,000,000 credit-gate.
But at this moment, it seemed like the number of people competing had been reduced.
No one in the hall was bidding anymore; all the remaining competitors were the players in the luxury boxes!
“8,700,000!”
“8,900,000!”
“9,100,000!”
After breaking through 9,000,000, the bidders in the boxes started to become quiet one by one.
In the end, only number 11 and number 1 were still bidding!
“9,700,000!”
“9,800,000!”
Between the two players, the price continued to climb.
But as the male and female voices called out bids, they were completely relaxed, as if nearly 10,000,000 credits was nothing to be concerned about.
In actual fact, the people in the two boxes really weren’t that concerned about that much money.
Nine million credits was the same as 900,000 Star Coins, and to truly rich players in War, it was not too big of a deal!
And the fact that there were only two bidders still competing was not because the players had no more strength to compete. They just wanted to observe first, to see what kind of price this first Enhancement Potion would be sold at. Then they would decide their subsequent competition strategy!
After all, as Huan Yu had said before, this auction would have a total of 20 Enhancement Potions to be auctioned.
And many people had truly prepared to bid for not just one, but a set of four!
“9,900,000!”
“10,000,000!”
The competition between number 11 and number 1 continued, and the price had already shot past 10,000,000!
Ten million credits to buy an Enhancement Potion that was basic-grade… Was this the local tycoons who were ridiculously rich?
The audience on the forum and some normal players in the hall held their breath, a little dumbfounded.
