I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 817 817. Parasite

You consumed 120 Ember Stones and obtained 3 Level 1 Luck Cards.

[Currently possessed: 71]

He didn't use it all; he planned to save some to see what he could sell during the auction.

[Auction Phase Begins]

[Items for this round of auction: Tier 2 Curse of Shared Fate (unsold in the previous round), Tier 2 Advanced Luck Card, Tier 2 Speed ​​Card, Tier 3 Parasite]

In addition to the cards that went unsold in the first round, three new cards were added, all of which caught Xia Feng's eye.

Premium Lucky Card, this looks perfect for him.

As for parasites, just hearing the name makes you feel that this card must be extremely disgusting.

[Note: Each increment must not be less than 10]

[The first item in the auction, a level 2 item with the shared curse, will be auctioned in the previous round. The starting price remains the same.]

[Effect: When a player with the 'Curse of Shared Fate' is eliminated, regardless of how many Embers the killer possesses, the killer will also be eliminated, and all assets belonging to both players will be left behind and can be looted.]

[Time Limit: Effective immediately upon purchase, lasts for one round (cannot be used after 3 players remain on the field)]

Xia Feng looked up at the central platform surrounded by nine pillars, and the clockwise rotating symbols transformed into the character: 20
As soon as the auction information appeared, a radiant light shone before the Black Moon Pope, draped in a divine robe and hood, on platform number 8, who announced in a deep voice: "50."

"120." As soon as the words were spoken, the angel on platform number 4 quoted an outrageously high price.

Everyone frowned and looked at Yufeller.

This price is already the highest limit of everyone's psychological expectations.

Juefeller's offer of this price clearly indicates his intention to find someone to fight in the third round.

With this card protecting him, no one would dare to kill Juveder, otherwise it would be ridiculous to die together with him, but Juveder could act without any scruples.

Although they found it a bit troublesome, no one was willing to raise the price further.

On the central platform, the digital light stream flashed from 3 to 1, and with a crisp ringing sound, the light stream transformed into the word 'Transaction'.

[Congratulations to the fourth player for obtaining the 'Level 2 Item Card - Curse of Shared Fate']

[Second Lot -]

[Level 2 - Premium Lucky Card]

【Function: After using this card】
There is a 90% chance of negative effects, such as all the Ember Stones you have disappearing, all the item cards disappearing, a group of powerful nightmare beasts being summoned, or your spiritual pressure artifacts being sealed.

There is a 9% chance of converting it into a level 1 card.

There is a 0.9% chance that it will be converted into another level 2 card.

There is a 0.1% chance that it will transform into a higher-level Tier 3 item card.

Upon seeing the card's details, Xia Feng's eye twitched slightly. He was truly speechless. A mere 0.1% chance of winning gold? Was this some kind of joke?

Even if it becomes a level 1 card, it's still a loss; if it becomes a level 2 card, at most you'll break even.

The person who bought this card is a complete idiot.

On the central platform, digital light flowed and changed—from the starting bid of 50 to 3—2—

The room fell silent, with no one bidding. After all, the risk of buying this card was far too high, with a high probability of drawing unpleasant negative effects such as "disappearance of the item card in hand" or "disappearance of the ember."

In that case, all previous efforts would have been in vain.

However, just as the countdown was about to reach 1, a glowing light appeared in front of the Spade Man on Platform 9: "50".

The digital optical flow timer restarts, 3, 2—

The crowd looked at the man in black robes with puzzlement, then shook their heads.

Just when Xia Feng thought no one would compete with him, a cold voice rang out: "60."

Xia Feng looked up and saw the bird-man on platform number 4. Yufeller's expression was indifferent, as if it were none of his business.

Clearly, this guy is deliberately inflating the price.

Xia Feng smiled and didn't pursue the matter further. A nonchalant voice, seemingly intrigued, came from the Spade Mask: "Since you desire it so much, then I shall grant it to you." He wanted to see whether Yufeller would dare to use the card after obtaining it.

【32】

Yufeller paused, his brow furrowing. He had assumed the Spade Man was a gambler who would be willing to pay more Emberstones to get the card.

Therefore, he didn't mind raising the price for the Spade player and depleting their financial resources.

But to my surprise, this guy just gave up!

This is
【1--】

[Detection: The fourth player has insufficient Ember Stones and will soon be subject to penalty for violating the rules.]

The fourth player successfully borrowed 50 from the shop using a 'Level 1 Loan Card', with an interest rate of 50 borrowed and 70 repaid.

Yufeller's expression darkened slightly. After crushing the card in his hand, he took the Level 2 card with its faintly golden edge.

[Congratulations to the fourth player for obtaining the 'Level 2 Item Card - Advanced Lucky Card']

A loan card? Xia Feng was surprised. There were actually such cards?

It's no wonder it's a shady business; they're even lending money at exorbitant interest rates!
Seeing Yufeller put away the premium lucky card, Xia Feng thought to himself, "It doesn't matter that I didn't get the card."

As long as Yufeller hasn't used it yet, he has a chance to get it back! Although that chance won't be easy to find.
[Third Lot]

[Level 2 Speed ​​Card]

[Using this card will increase your movement speed, thinking speed, spiritual reaction, and spiritual perception by 10%]

Starting bid: 50

"Hmm? This thing doesn't seem to be of much use," Xia Feng wondered.

While every 1% improvement in the Venerable realm is significant and can be game-changer, speed is likely of little use to these highly confident veterans.
"70." Pope Black Moon was the first to raise his sign.

Tu Lin didn't hesitate and followed suit. Each time he raised his paddle, without stating a price, he implicitly added 10.

Immediately afterwards, Kim Shi-in and Ms. Mi joined the bidding, raising the price to 140, which was eventually won by the Black Moon Pope.

Seeing this, Xia Feng roughly understood that these people were after the Ember Sun Divine Realm.

The Speed ​​Card should slightly improve comprehension speed. Do these people want to learn the Ember Sun Divine Domain within the Sumeru Realm? Hmm, no, they probably just want to learn the most basic structure.

[Fourth Lot]

On the central platform, a mysterious card with a rose-gold edge and a seven-colored light emanating from its center is formed and slowly spins.

[Level 3 Item Card - Parasite]

[Using this card, you can designate a player with a specific number to 'parasitize'. You will receive the same amount of Ember Stones and item cards as that player.]

[Validity: One round only]

Starting bid: 200

The moment the card appeared, everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it; some were eager to try it, while others frowned.

However, after seeing the outrageous starting price, they all felt relieved.

【321——This card failed to sell and will be automatically moved to the next settlement stage】

Parasite is also a gambling card; the player who gets it has to gamble on who can earn the most Embers in that round.

This is no easy task, especially since the starting bid is only 200. One wrong judgment could result in a huge loss.

[Now entering the fourth stage – identifying the red king!]

[Speaking privileges for all players are now enabled]

Lights simultaneously shone on the nine high platforms, revealing all the figures.

Although their search for the Red King was interrupted by a suddenly appearing pillar of authority.

But everyone already has their own opinion on who should be the Red King.
