Chapter 121 The auction begins
Upon entering the auction interface, Mo Ming noticed that his avatar and name were displayed in the upper right corner, indicating that he was participating in the auction under his real name. When someone placed a bid, the bidder's name and avatar would be displayed on other people's screens.
Soon, the first item appeared on the screen.
Mo Ming's gaze was also drawn to it.
[Shelter Form Stone: Crimson Purple Grade]
Function: Randomly generates a second form for the bound shelter, and can switch between the original forms.
Introduction: Balala, the shelter transformation device!
Starting bid: 30 million Ancient Coins
Generate a second form?
Doesn't that mean that if the randomly generated second form is a car or a mobile form like a robot, the shelter can be moved at any time?
Although it's not as powerful as a migration scroll, which can move hundreds of kilometers at once, it has the advantage of not having a cooling-off period!
The migration scroll takes 3 months to cool down, which is too long.
Such a wonderful item! I must say, the properties of this item really caught Mo Ming's eye.
Today's auction is truly extraordinary; it started with a bombshell!
Soon, people began to place bids.
The screen showed flashing images of several people, each with their name on it.
Christopher offered $31.
"Luoyu offered 32."
"Asya offered 35."
"Ichiro Sakata offered 40."
......
What's the name?
Suddenly, a familiar name flashed before Mo Ming's eyes: Asya.
Most people probably wouldn't have any opinion about this name. If they hadn't seen the profile picture clearly, they might have thought it was just a name from another country, which is perfectly normal.
But when that name appeared before Mo Ming, things were different.
He has had, is having, and will likely continue to have to deal with this guy for some time to come.
At this moment, Mo Ming also understood that the introduction's mention of being open to all living beings in the Misty World was not just empty talk. If those orcs could participate, then the possibility of other races from the Endless Abyss participating could not be ruled out.
This novel item was highly sought after by many participants as soon as it was introduced, so in a very short time, the price of the Shelter Form Stone had already reached a terrifying 57, and it is still rising.
Mo Ming smiled helplessly, but chose not to make a move.
He was also tempted, but his expected price was under 50. If it exceeded that, there was no need to pursue it. Although the shape stone was nice, it was not a necessity.
Nowadays, various organizations and alliances are commonplace, so there are quite a few participants who can easily come up with hundreds of thousands of Ancient Spirit Coins in a short period of time.
Since he had decided not to take action, Mo Ming simply sat in front of the screen, holding his porcelain cup, and quietly watched the others perform.
It was also a good opportunity to see the economic strength of the other people, and the familiar names that flashed by from time to time would make the corners of his mouth turn up slightly. It seemed that they were all developing quite well!
After fierce bidding, the first item, the Sanctuary Shape Stone, was finally sold to a man named Sun Shusheng for 723,000 Ancient Spirit Coins.
After the name and image of the successful bidder were displayed on the screen, something happened that shocked everyone.
A message popped up on the screen: Buyer: Sun Shusheng, Chinese survivor, shelter center coordinates (S76;23, E340;52).
(These coordinates do not correspond to any location in the real world)
Nani?
My hair!
Not only will they require real-name registration, but they'll also expose the coordinates of my shelter after the auction is successful?
It was an undisguised instigation of conflict.
Mo Ming finally understood exactly what made the participants regret their decision.
They don't tell you beforehand; once you register, all the participant's information is essentially submitted.
It was too late to try to avoid revealing the main base's coordinates by using other methods, such as having subordinates auction off the property in other shelters.
Unless you actually pay to come and take a look!
"Who came up with this model? It's so damn sneaky!" Mo Ming couldn't help but swear. On one hand, he didn't want to reveal his location, and on the other hand, he wanted to buy some good stuff. He was really torn.
At this moment, Sun Shusheng was in his shelter.
"This is disgusting. We finally found a great place, just moved here, and now we have to move again..."
The young man, who was gesturing wildly one second, was completely disarmed the next.
"The migration scroll has entered its cooldown phase, so I'll have to try out this new item."
The young man looked at the small white stone in his hand, his eyes filled with anticipation.
After binding the shape stone to the shelter, Sun Shusheng used it to generate the second form of the shelter.
A flash of white light appeared, and an image along with some text description appeared on his bracelet page.
"Hahaha, the heavens have spared me! This form actually suits my sneaky, developmental style quite well."
......
Back at Mo Ming's place, his brows furrowed, he immediately decided that unless he encountered an item he absolutely had to buy, he would never make a purchase, preferring to miss this auction altogether.
With the big battle against Asya imminent, it's best to maintain some secrecy.
As long as Besta doesn't say anything, Asya is still completely clueless about his situation. He has no idea whether there are survivors deep in the clouds.
However, if its coordinates are exposed, it will immediately know that it is nearby, and the mystery surrounding Mo Ming will be of little use.
As Mo Ming pondered, the second item was placed on the table.
[Alienation Scroll: Deep Blue Level]
Description: Causes uncontrollable mutations in beasts of the Deep Blue level and below.
Starting bid: 25 Ancient Coins.
This is a good item, the Alienation Scroll.
People who haven't used this thing before might just be attracted by its alienation, but they'll only pursue it to a certain extent.
However, someone like Mo Ming, who had used it on his pets more than once, was very clear about the hidden function of this mutation scroll.
That means that after mutation, you will definitely be upgraded to a higher level.
It's equivalent to having a bundled upgrade scroll attached, and its value is self-evident.
Mo Ming's expected price was around 50. If it exceeded his expectations, he wouldn't consider it too much, since he already had three crimson-purple level pets.
A few minutes passed.
The Scroll of Alienation was eventually acquired by a guy named Wilson for 885,000.
Similarly, his coordinates were also displayed in the public chat.
However, this item is better than the first one. It is a one-time consumable, and once it is used, it is gone. No matter how much others covet it, they will not have time to use it. Moreover, after using it, the user's combat power will be directly increased by one level.
Basically, you don't need to worry about people who are just jealous. The only people you need to be careful about are those in the same area and those you have a grudge against.
When the information about the third item was released, everyone was in an uproar.
Mo Ming's eyes widened in disbelief. This stuff... smells amazing!
