Chapter 125 Eastern Main City
Mo Ming wasn't the only one stunned by this final item; almost everyone was amazed.
While marveling at the value of the Eastern Main City, its price also deterred the vast majority of bidders.
Two million Ancient Coins—that's a sum many people couldn't reach even with all their assets combined, let alone that it's just the starting bid!
So far, the price of the Eastern Main City has only been slightly higher than the starting price, unlike the previous items which were immediately driven up.
There weren't many bidders, and the bidding was slow, with each bid increasing by only one or two thousand.
Once the price reaches this level, everyone with the financial means to participate in the auction becomes very cautious in their bidding.
Moreover, everyone knows that the value, or rather its significance, of this main city goes far beyond being just a private property.
This is absolutely crucial for the future development of the entire survivor community.
Mo Ming has no chance to photograph this main city; now he can only pray that it doesn't fall into the hands of someone with evil intentions.
"The world of mist is about to change!"
There are still four people competing, one of whom is Elder Su, who lost the battle for the Spirit Gathering Array, and represents the Great Xia government.
The other three are Inamisa from the Sun Country, Trianbi from the Black Hand Country, and Kudiber from India.
It goes without saying that it represents the official government of their country.
The United States, which was originally the most powerful country, was unable to participate in the bidding for the Eastern main city due to the high cost of the Spirit Gathering Array.
"sift!"
General Haiwei, who had been smug, turned ashen-faced upon seeing the main city in the east.
The Spirit Gathering Array suddenly lost its appeal!
"Old Su, go and estimate how much resource we have that can be exchanged for Ancient Spirit Coins, just in case."
We'll sell everything we own to acquire this eastern metropolis!
Inside the conference room, the man sitting in the main seat stared at the screen and slowly spoke to Su Zhenguo beside him.
He is Xuanyuan Hao, the highest-ranking official of the Great Xia Dynasty in the Misty World at this moment!
"Leader, I've already had Ye Ming take stock. We can probably exchange all the resources we have for another 180 million Ancient Spirit Coins."
"You can exchange them anytime you need. If all else fails, you can take some ore from the resource zone and exchange it for several hundred thousand."
Old Su's expression was solemn. He knew what this Eastern Main City meant, so he had made preparations well in advance.
"Ok!"
Xu Lishi, standing next to Elder Su, said with a hint of relief, "It seems that not choosing the All-in Spirit Gathering Array was absolutely the right choice!"
"Indeed, every cloud has a silver lining."
The leader, seated at the head of the table, spoke with a calm and composed tone, exuding the qualities of a leader.
As the auction progressed, the various factions ceased their probing of each other, no longer holding back their strength, and the price increases became increasingly volatile.
In just a few minutes, the price in the Eastern Main City had reached 280 million Ancient Spirit Coins, approaching the 300 million mark.
The price instantly surpassed the 2.487 million of the Spirit Gathering Array, and it's still rising.
Any one of the attributes of this Eastern capital city is enough to drive everyone crazy.
With a population capacity of nearly 100 million, even if each person is charged one Ancient Spirit Coin as a lodging fee, the profits generated one day could reach a terrifying figure as the population continues to grow.
It also contains many large-scale facilities. If it is developed in the future, the profits it can bring to the city owner will probably be even more exaggerated than the rent.
Even ignoring all that, the most crucial thing is that there are three bonus items.
The city lord's token is a symbol of status; I wonder if it will provide any attribute bonuses.
The title "Lord of the Eastern City" may have other uses, which remains to be discovered.
However, its simplest function is to meet the upgrade requirements for a level 5 shelter.
That's attractive enough.
This place is a treasure land, consisting of ten blessed grotto-heavens. Although no information about them is provided, their preciousness can be felt from their names alone!
Besides, even if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?
You've probably seen novels, movies, and TV series where blessed lands appear, and they're either sacred places for cultivation, lush with spiritual energy, or cave dwellings left behind by some master, filled with rare treasures.
Moreover, besides bringing enormous benefits to its owner, this eastern main city has a more profound impact: it may become the first true human settlement in this misty world.
Throughout history, all the survivors have been very far apart from each other.
Before the teleportation array orbs were disabled, friends and business partners could occasionally get together.
However, there has never been a place or facility that could gather a large number of survivors together.
There were no real gathering places; there were only a few small groups sticking together for warmth.
Therefore, this is tantamount to working behind closed doors, and individual products cannot circulate effectively.
Relying solely on online stores results in very limited transaction volume.
Often, the various barriers and doubts that exist between people cannot be eliminated in time, which leads to the lack of further cooperation.
Therefore, the development prospects of all survivors will be greatly limited.
Now, the emergence of the Eastern Main City may mean the elimination of this barrier, the emergence of a brand-new form of communication, and a more promising development trend.
Although we cannot predict the future, we are still full of anticipation.
The bidding continued for nearly forty minutes, and the price in the Eastern Main City reached a terrifying 410 million Ancient Spirit Coins.
The Sun Kingdom and the Black Hand Kingdom have stopped making any moves, leaving only the Great Xia Kingdom and the Indian Kingdom still competing.
415 million, the Indian representative, Kudiber, made another bid.
Mo Ming felt a pang of anxiety, worried that the price he had offered was the limit set by the Great Xia government, which would be a real shame.
"Pass the word down: prepare the ore and continue exchanging it for Ancient Spirit Coins."
The leader, sitting in the main seat, uttered a simple sentence, and Old Su understood the leader's meaning.
This directly pushed prices to a new level.
450 million!
This is all the Ancient Spirit Coins they have exchanged so far.
Everyone at Elder Su's place was glued to the screen, ready to follow suit and exchange their Ancient Spirit Coins if India raised the price.
There are many uses for ores, and no one would exchange them for Ancient Coins unless absolutely necessary—it would be a huge loss!
But there was no other way at the moment. The die was cast and the arrow had to be released. If they could successfully acquire the main city of the East, they could go all in on not only the ore, but the entire remaining vein.
One minute!
Two minutes!
three minutes!
The window for bidding has closed, and there's still no word from India, which means...
"Pretty!"
"Nice!"
"It still has to be my Great Xia!"
"Little Indian, how laughable!"
"Daxia is awesome!"
……
The survivors of Great Xia, scattered throughout the land, all felt the same way: excited and thrilled!
It feels like watching the Olympics on TV, and then the Da Xia athlete, who was behind, makes a last-minute comeback to win the championship!
