YM778.TV Chapter 21 Part2
The whole audience widened their eyes, staring at the screen.
All the buyers from the different clubs were on the verge of a breakdown. They sent PMs to their presidents, "There are countless players competing for this card! The price for this level 1 card has risen to 100,000!"
"Are members of the Fenghua Club present? Maybe they are bidding crazily for this card because they are afraid that someone will use this card against Legend Tang."
"Should we keep bidding until the end?"
"President, please tell me whether I need to continue to bid?"
In fact, not only was Tang Muzhou present, but the Adjudication Club followed President Huan Yue\'s instruction – get the card no matter what.
During the short period when the buyers were talking to their presidents, the bid was raised to 120,000.
Every president quickly sent instructions, “We don\'t lack for funds, just bid for it!”
“If possible, try your best to buy it for a price within 500,000!”
But some calm presidents said, “This is the author\'s first card to be auctioned. He will definitely sell [Lin Daiyu] in bulk in the future, so there is no need to be a spendthrift. Let\'s just wait and see.”
The bid was like a sports car revving at full throttle, racing ahead.
——150,000!
——180,000!
——200,000!
——250,000!
The audience\'s jaws dropped in amazement. How many people were bidding for this card?!
——300,000!
Seeing the price, the Adjudication Club\'s buyer became terrified. He sent a voice message to the president, his voice trembling, “Boss, I guess Fenghua Club is determined to take this card. Are we really going to bid against them? This price is too high!”
Huan Yue frowned and contemplated. Certainly big clubs like the Adjudication Club could afford this price easily. But this way, Uncle Chubby would realize that the cards he made could be sold for a high price. Then what if he didn\'t want to join the Adjudication Club to be a card designer?
He was really stupid! Why did he help Uncle Chubby raise the bid???
Thinking of this, Huan Yue immediately replied, “Stop!”
The Adjudication Club stopped, but there were some clubs that hadn\'t caught on. They just wanted to get this IDE card against Tang Muzhou.
——350,000!
——400,000!
The auction had ignited all the players\' pa.s.sion, many of them videoing the auction to do a live broadcast. Many netizens who didn\'t enter the Auction House were watching live broadcasts to witness the historic moment of a one-star card\'s price beating the record!
Buyers from each club got the w.i.l.l.i.e.s, and the presidents were also not sure about the situation.
Was someone maliciously raising the bid? Normally the price wouldn\'t be so high!
Five years ago, Tang Muzhou\'s one-star card was auctioned for 100,000. At that time, the exchange rate between game currency and live currency was 3:1, so 100,000 at that time was equivalent to more than 300,000 gold coins now.
According to the market, 300,000 gold had been the highest price for a one-star card, no matter how powerful it was, because the buyer needed to spend a lot on leveling it up to seven stars later. Was it necessary to bid such a high price for this IDE card, even if it had appeared for the first time? What if its creator sold other [Lin Daiyu]s by auction tomorrow? If the creator sold [Lin Daiyu]s in bulk after selling this card at such a high price, would the buyer waste lots of money on it?
All the presidents were hesitating.
However, Tang Muzhou was an exception. He squinted slightly and continued to press the bid b.u.t.ton.
A number suddenly appeared on the screen.
660,000.
The number showed the bidder\'s confidence, as if he was saying, "I will get this card, no matter how much you raise it."
Even Xie Mingzhe was stunned by such an \'ambitious\' number.
Which rich player offered such a high price?
The auction house became quiet suddenly, only the host\'s voice could be heard, "660,000 once, 660,000 twice, 660,000 the third time. Sold!"
As the hammer fell, Xie Mingzhe, waiting in the auction house, grinned from ear to ear.
He had made a great fortune!
To his surprise, this card was sold at 660,000 gold. He had expected major clubs to bid against each other for this card, since it was the first IDE card, but he had thought that 200,000 gold should have been its highest price, because it was only a one-star card after all and what he sold was this card, not its copyright. He could make many [Lin Daiyu]s in the future.
It was horrible that this one-star card was sold at 660,000 gold.
The major clubs had gone too far in bidding for this card?
The auction continued, but Xie Mingzhe hadn\'t been in the mood to pay attention to the other cards.
He waited excitedly for the auction to end. Luckily, there weren\'t any cards made by particularly famous designers in today\'s auction, so Xie Mingzhe\'s card sold for the highest price out of all the cards. The auction ended at 8:20pm.
Xie Mingzhe excitedly went to the NPC in the office of the auction house, trying to withdraw his gold.
However, the NPC told him, "The buyer of [Lin Daiyu] left a message for you, please read it."
"h.e.l.lo, Uncle Chubby. I\'ve paid the 10% percentage for you. I want to buy your [Lin Daiyu]s in bulk. If you want to see me, please come to Qianlin Restaurant, north of the Central Plaza in Peac.o.c.k galaxy. I\'ll be waiting for you there."
"…" Xie Mingzhe read the message with surprise.
In order to avoid disputes, the auction house wouldn\'t divulge the buyer\'s or the seller\'s personal information. After closing the deal, the buyer and the seller could leave messages for each other via NPC.
Why did this man know his name \'Uncle Chubby\'? It was impossible for him to deduce \'Uncle Chubby\' from his LOGO. Had this man known him for a long time? Xie Mingzhe was puzzled.
He had never expected Tang Muzhou to be the buyer!
In order to see Xie Mingzhe\'s appearance at the auction, Tang Muzhou had come to all the auctions personally these last three days.
