Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 3916 Now that you're entering the game, you still expect to start the [Journey to the West] without spending any money?!

The auction venue resembled an ancient opera house—and an enormous one at that!
After all, a single seat could easily accommodate a Titan... When guests of normal size sat down, it was as if they were sitting on a giant bed.

Putting everything else aside, the sheer scale of the event is undeniable.

However, the best spot is definitely the VIP seating area upstairs!
When the auction officially began, surprisingly, three lights were turned on in the VIP seating area upstairs!

This aroused the curiosity of the guests on the first floor, who began to whisper among themselves.

"...What's going on? Why are three lights on? Didn't they say the Void Spirit Mountain wasn't coming? Have they changed their minds?"

"It's unclear. They haven't shown themselves, so it's hard to confirm whether they're from [Void Spirit Mountain]..."

"Upstairs are the [Heavenly Kingdom] and the [Heavenly Palace]... Besides the [Void Spirit Mountain], who else is qualified to sit with them?"

"The mythological side is gone, but that doesn't mean it's not among the other three major sides, right?"

"That's true... But isn't the [Journey to the West Project] a specialty of the [Mythology Side]? Why are other sides competing with it?"

"Can't people come here for the other auction items? This auction isn't just about auctioning the qualifications for [items]..."

"That makes sense..."

……

……

On the second floor of the venue, at the "Heaven and Kingdom" area... a semi-transparent curtain was drawn over the private room. The material used was obviously very high-quality, designed to prevent outsiders from peeping in.

At this moment, [Raguel] was curiously looking at the third lit spot. Because of the curtain, even he couldn't see clearly who the other party was... He only knew that the other party seemed to have come alone without any other people.
"My lord, could it be those guys from [Void Spirit Mountain] in disguise?" the priest angel beside him whispered. "Those hypocritical fellows just suffered a loss at the hands of the Archangel, losing the entire world of [Canaan]. They certainly won't let this go so easily..."

[Raguer] waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "Those bald guys may be shameless, but they wouldn't contradict themselves. They said they wouldn't come, and they definitely won't. Even if they used some kind of proxy, they can't just sit on the second floor openly."

"This..." the priest and angel thought for a moment and said, "Should I go and inquire about it?"

[Raguel] rolled his eyes and said, "The auction is about to start, who are you going to ask now? Are you bored? Sit down, don't make a fool of yourself..."

"I know." The priest angel nodded and obediently sat down. It was his first time attending an auction of this scale, so he was naturally a little nervous. "By the way, sir, I've been very curious since the beginning... what is this hanging golden rope for? There's a bell attached to it... is it for calling servants?"

Just as Raguel was about to speak, he saw that the priest had already grasped the rope and was about to shake it... The dignified Seraphim of Heaven was so frightened that he almost died on the spot, as if he were about to go to see his great-grandmother. "Don't move!!! Let go!!"

The priest reacted extremely quickly, loosening the rope the moment he heard the words... but there was still a slight sway!

Raguel's face turned ashen as he watched the slight swaying travel upwards to the bell... In the end, the force was too weak to make the bell ring.

He finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"My lord... what is going on?" The priest and angel looked terrified and trembled... clearly, they had almost made a terrible mistake!
……

The same scene almost happened in the VIP box of the Heavenly Palace.

The difference is that Zhenwu is now hanging on Taibai Jinxing like a sloth, with his arms locked around the other's throat—he's almost strangling this high-ranking worker from the Heavenly Court who appears most often!
"Emperor... Your Majesty, help me!!! Emperor Zhenwu has gone mad..." [Taibai Jinxing] was almost out of breath at this moment.

[Zhenwu] roared, "Do you think you're some kind of immortal from the South Pole? If you want to hang yourself, go somewhere else, don't hurt people here! This is the bell of a sky lantern, you think you can just shake it like that?!"

"A...a sky lantern?!" [Venus] was taken aback, then his eyes widened!
[Emperor Ziwei] said irritably, "Taking pictures of the sky lanterns in the venue, once they're lit, is equivalent to having the whole place booked... No matter how much money someone pays, it automatically adds a level... Taibai, Taibai, you're such a senior, how come you still don't understand this?"

"I've heard of the rules of the Sky Lantern... I just... just... I didn't expect..." [Taibai Jinxing] trembled all over, scared half to death. Other auctions are fine, but this shop's auction, even if he bought the whole place, it probably wouldn't be enough to squander the entire fortune of [Jade Emperor]?
"Let him go." [Emperor Ziwei] waved his hand at this moment, "Taibai, don't touch anything here!"

"I know... I won't dare again, I won't dare again!"

【Venus】 quickly wiped away his cold sweat, then quietly lowered his sleeve... and a handful of melon seeds quietly fell into the snack plate next to him.

Goodness, 88888 sunflower seeds per serving!

This action immediately drew a fierce glare from Zhenwu... Taibai Jinxing could only smile awkwardly and dared not speak.

"They've arrived," [Emperor Ziwei] suddenly said, his gaze already fixed on the giant stage.

……

……

As the hotel's first auction, it was naturally taken very seriously... Therefore, the hotel's manager, Hathaway, personally appeared as the auctioneer for this auction.

She was wearing a black, shimmering halter-neck dress when she slowly walked to the auction table in the center of the stage... becoming the center of everyone's attention.

nervous?
It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous... Hathaway quietly adjusted her breathing.

The source of her tension wasn't the crowd of customers, not even someone like Raguel could make her nervous—it was simply because the boss and Miss Yuya were watching.

However, the third "VIP" who arrived before the auction started caught her attention quite a bit... because this third "VIP" was actually greeted by the boss himself!
You should know that even with Heaven and the Celestial Court... the boss only asked her to come forward!

Hathaway couldn't even see the other person's face, only their back...it seemed to be a young man in a white robe?

However, I heard Miss Yuya call out the other person's name quite respectfully.

—Pan Dagong.

"Distinguished guests, the inaugural auction is about to begin. Please be quiet! I am Hathaway, and I will be the auctioneer for this auction... I hope you all have a pleasant evening, thank you!"

Of course, applause is due; nobody wants to offend the shopkeepers... and they are clearly powerful figures.

“I’m sure you’re all eager to get started.” Hathaway smiled elegantly and clapped her hands lightly. “Without further ado… let’s begin!”

The lights dimmed slightly for a moment.

From the left and right sides of the venue, five young women dressed in cheongsams slowly walked to the center of the stage, each carrying a tray—the lights also shone on the trays in the hands of these young women.

"These are the items for the first round of auction. Detailed descriptions are already available in the brochures beside you!" Hathaway waved her hand. "Now, I'll introduce the first item!"

The girl in first place on the left slowly walked out of the queue and placed her tray on the display stand... On a crystal plaque, there was a rather old and peculiar gold coin.

In the vast, empty hall, Hathaway's voice slowly rang out: "This is a [Resurrection Coin], with only one use remaining. The usage instructions are in the booklet, so I won't go into detail... Ladies and gentlemen, the starting bid for this item is one million Origin Units! Each bid must be at least one hundred thousand Origin Units!"

hiss--! !

Suddenly, a number of tactical gasps could be heard from inside the arena!
The very first item in the first round of auctions is [Resurrection Coin]... Who can resist that?

Walking through the void is very dangerous. The most important thing is to stay alive. No one would complain about having too many lives, right?
Although there's only one use left, it's still a real extra life... Originally, many customers planned to ignore the dogs at the beginning and save their bullets for the last shot at the "Journey to the West" spot... What are we going to do now!

……

"Damn it, it always tries to tempt me, it really is a devil, I really want this [Resurrection Coin]..."

"As expected of a product from this shop, they start with this. Looks like I'll have to squeeze every last drop out of my wallet this time..."

"If the dog won't take the picture, I will! One million!!"

Finally, after a flurry of whispers and gasps, the first customer to call out a price appeared!
A figure completely wrapped in bandages, resembling a mummy that had just crawled out of a coffin, raised his arm high!

"One million one hundred thousand!!"

"1.2 million!"

"One million and a half million!!"

The venue instantly transformed from empty and quiet to bustling with activity!
……

In a corner of the first floor, in the area of ​​the gods of Asgard... the god-king Odin stared twitchingly at the displayed Resurrection Coin.

If he remembers correctly, it seems that Wednesday had one like this in his possession?
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Was he tagged? Or was he tagged in a way that was intended for him?

"Father God, should we take this [Resurrection Coin]?" a goddess asked hesitantly.

The god-king Odin (poor) said calmly, "What's the use of only one chance to resurrect (poor)? Since your enemy can kill you once (poor), they can kill you a second time (poor). Do you want your enemy to have two chances to torture and kill you (poor)?"

"Father God is right!" The daughter of God nodded immediately, deeply agreeing... As expected of Father God!

……

[Heavenly Court] VIP Box.

Watching the price of the resurrection coins rise steadily, Emperor Ziwei frowned... He coldly observed the increasingly frenzied group on the first floor!
Good heavens, everyone complains that the sunflower seeds here are too expensive, the tea fee is unreasonable, and the overnight fee is robbery. They wish they could split one unit into three parts to make use of it... Damn it, now they're adding tens of thousands at a time!

"Your Majesty, should we take this [Resurrection Coin]?" [Taibai Jinxing] asked cautiously.

[Emperor Ziwei] pondered and said, "If it exceeds ten million, then we don't need it. This thing can only be used on those below five stars of [Radiant Moon], so it's not something we absolutely need."

“What the Emperor says is true.” [Venus] nodded gently.

—So what if you're above five stars [Radiant Moon]? You're so arrogant!

Then, [Venus], using company funds, shouted out a bid: "Three million!"

A piercing scream!

……

Ultimately, the first item was sold for a high price of 10.5 million to a woman on the first floor who was a Void Immortal!
This female immortal was quite decisive, paying on the spot... not all of it was primordial units, but a considerable portion of treasures and the like were used as payment, and she even contributed a portion of her soul power.

"Having bought this gold coin, I'm completely broke... I won't be participating in the rest of the auction. Farewell!"

After buying her items, the immortal woman immediately teleported away without saying a word.

But many people have already secretly memorized the immortal image of this woman... but the shop doesn't care about that.

……

The second item.

……

The third item...

……

The first round of auctions has ended.

……

The second round of auctions has ended.

……

……

In the hotel chairman's office, a maid carrying a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses slowly approached Mr. Luo.

"Opening red wine at the halfway point?" Boss Luo chuckled upon seeing this.

"Consider it a wish for a perfect end to this auction," the maid said softly.

Boss Luo casually glanced at the auction proceeds up to this point... and indeed, they were qualified to open half a wine bar.

"Send one bottle to Grand Duke Pan," Boss Luo suddenly said.

"I've already sent someone to deliver it," the maid said with a smile.

So... Boss Luo is suddenly in a state of having nothing to do.

……

……

The third round of auction has officially begun!
At this point, everyone had made some gains... It was simply because the items in the first and second rounds of auctions were so tempting—the empty guests had underestimated the allure of the shops.

"...How much money do we have left?"

[Raguer] subconsciously rubbed his forehead, looking at the huge pile of stuff he had already bought—damn it, he was only thinking of buying one or two things as a token gesture!
You should just cut off your hand...

"We have about 75% left," the priest quickly tallied the figures. "Don't worry, sir, we have plenty of funds!"

[Raguel] nodded. It's alright... Although I don't know how much the [Heavenly Court] has prepared, I think the two sides should be about the same, and [Emperor Ziwei] seems to have acquired quite a lot as well.

They're about the same!
"Everyone!"

At this moment, Hathaway's voice rang out again!
"The third round of auction is about to begin!" Hathaway's voice was still pleasant. "This round of auction will only have one item, or only one item! I believe that those of you who have read the [Preview] content are already quite clear about this, so I won't go into details... However, before we officially begin, I would like to provide some additional information about the [Kasyapa] world."

[Raguer] blinked and instinctively sat up straight.

……

"The world of Kasyapa..." Emperor Ziwei frowned slightly, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Regarding the origin of this [Kasyapa] world, although everyone has seen the [Preview] PV, they know nothing except that it is located in the secret realm of the third node of [Primordial].

But it must be a secret realm, an area that has not yet been discovered.

"[Zhenwu], the tea has gone cold," [Ziwei Emperor] said calmly.

……

At the center of the stage, Hathaway waved her hand, and in an instant, a huge star map appeared in the sky above the auction house!

Countless stars dot the landscape, yet there is a place that resembles chaos, appearing and disappearing at times.

Upon seeing this enormous star map, everyone suddenly had a premonition that the place that appeared and disappeared must be the location of the [Kasyapa] world...

"Please look around, everyone. This is the world of [Kasyapa]." Hathaway paused, then looked around, controlling the emotional rhythm of the crowd. "This is a world that has remained undiscovered since the Age of the Void Gods!"

hiss--! !

This time, the entire audience was gasping in shock!
Hathaway was quite satisfied with the effect, raising her voice slightly, "In other words, the [Kasyapa] world holds many events from before the Void Ancient Gods Era, and!"

After emphasizing a word, Hathaway slowly said under the shocked gazes of everyone, "In the world of [Kasyapa], a signpost leading to the fourth node of [Primordial] will be born!"

boom--! ! !
Countless customers suddenly stood up uncontrollably, all their eyes fixed on the huge star map above them!
But even if you memorize this picture, it won't help, because you simply can't find it!
……

The VIP room of [Paradise] was completely silent at this moment.

"My lord, I...I didn't hear wrong, did I? This [Kasyapa] world is actually...actually..." The priests were even unable to form words at this moment.

Their Lord Raguel couldn't help but twitch his lips. "As expected of you... Joan of Arc, you've gone this far! Good heavens, you're really going to drain us all dry..."

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Raguel sighed, then his hand trembled as he reached into his robes and reluctantly pulled out a black card with gold trim. "Wait, add the credit limit from this Void Bank card to your account too..."

"Sir, what are you doing?"

[Raguel] collapsed onto the table, "Now it's really burned out..."

—I've even taken out my savings for my funeral!
