Survival in the Mist: From a Dilapidated Wooden Hut to a Heavenly Palace in the Clouds

After accumulating for this period of time, Mo Ming now has 12 Ancient Spirit Coins.

This amount of money may seem substantial, but it appears meager at the auction.

If it's a deep blue-level item, it's probably not a big problem, but if it's a crimson-purple-level item... I probably can't even afford the starting bid.

With less than 15 hours left until the auction, it's unlikely that the assets can be doubled in such a short time. We can only rely on the profitability of Shop No. 1 today.

If all goes well, I can make another 10,000 to 20,000 Ancient Spirit Coins.

Arriving at their planting base, they found that all the crops there had now grown to the Deep Blue level.

Mo Ming noticed that many crops were already laden with fruit and hurriedly harvested them.

Looking at this huge pile of fruit, Mo Ming suddenly had a quick way to make money.

It's nothing more than using the produce from their own land to exchange for Ancient Spirit Coins at the exchange office. Anyway, there's no shortage of food right now, and the crops from the planting base can continue to produce, so there's no need to hoard them.

Having made up his mind, Mo Ming ran to the last remaining pine forest on the west side of the shelter and "jumped up and down" collecting pine nuts.

Every pine nut here is of the Deep Blue grade and can be used as a token to exchange for Ancient Spirit Coins.

Normally, Mo Ming would never think of it, but now that he needed money and saw the produce from the planting base, he remembered pine nuts.

After working for most of the day, Mo Ming was panting heavily. He had wandered all over the pine forest and collected thousands of pine cones.

(Squirrel: Shall I leave?)

They rummaged through boxes and cabinets, piling up all the beast teeth, claws, and other debris they had collected during the beast tide and left over from before.

All of these together amount to tens of thousands of units.

I exchanged a total of 13 Ancient Spirit Coins at the exchange office.

Who says it can't double?

If you do your job well, your assets can double.

Looking at the time, it was already past 5 pm. The goods in the deep blue and emerald green areas of Shop No. 1 were basically sold out. At this time, Mo Ming's assets reached 260,000 Ancient Spirit Coins.

For the rest of the time, Mo Ming lay in his bedroom, scrolling through videos and quietly waiting for the auction to begin.

7 p.m.

Mo Ming opened the Mist Shop on time, his gaze gradually becoming serious as he stared intently at the changes on the page.

Suddenly, a separate icon appeared on the right side of the Crimson Zone in the Mist Shop, with the words "Auction" written below it.

Mo Ming clicked on it without hesitation.

The auction page is very simple, without any fancy features. In the center of the page is a huge stage, and on the stage is a booth used to display the goods from all angles.

Below the stall are two buttons, one red and one blue, and an input box.

The first red button represents increasing the price, and it is marked with 1000. Pressing it once means increasing the price by 1000 Ancient Coins.

The second blue button represents a custom price. You need to enter the price in the input box first, and then click "Confirm to Add".

Five minutes later, several lines of text appeared on the page, which were the notices for this auction.

【Precautions】

1. There are two ways to increase the price: press the red button for a fixed price increase of 1000; or enter any price higher than the current price in the input box and press the blue button.

2. If no one raises the bid within ten seconds, the auction is considered successful.

3. No bids were placed, and the item failed to sell.

4. After a successful auction, please settle the payment within 3 minutes. Otherwise, it will be considered malicious bidding and you will be permanently disqualified from participating in the Mist Shop auction.

5. This auction is anonymous, and each person can only win one item.

【Countdown】

As the countdown ended, the first item of the auction quickly appeared on the stage.

[Crimson Armored Rhinoceros: Crimson Purple Grade] + [Bound Taming Scroll: Crimson Purple Grade]

Talent: (Only visible to the successful bidder)

Description: The top predator on the Pamir Plain!

P.S.: This binding taming scroll only works on this Crimson Armored Rhinoceros, and the success rate is 100%.

Starting bid: 25 million Ancient Coins

Mo Ming's expression was priceless, a mixture of excitement and helplessness.

A winning hand right from the start!

The good news is that I have enough assets to buy a house; the bad news is that I only have enough!

But it can't hurt to give it a try!

Mo Ming decisively pressed the red button, increasing the price by 1000.

Soon, someone else raised the price, and the price began to rise rapidly.

In less than a minute, the price exceeded 280,000. Mo Ming shook his head helplessly, deciding to just consider it a bit of fun.

Ultimately, the Crimson Armored Rhinoceros was sold for a high price of 40, but unfortunately, the buyer is unknown.

The second item is a pair of shoes.

【Three-Speed ​​Cloud Chasing Boots: Crimson Purple Grade】

Description: The three speed settings can increase the wearer's movement speed by 10%/30%/50% respectively.

Starting bid: 12 Ancient Coins.

This item is extremely valuable to all survivors; sometimes, even a slight increase in movement speed can create a completely different outcome.

Especially when you're running for your life!

However, Mo Ming hesitated at this moment. The rules of this auction were that each person could only bid for one item. Mo Ming was a little tempted by the Three-Speed ​​Cloud Chasing Boots, but he was still a little reluctant to waste this spot.

He always felt that there would be something even better to come!

Suppressing his excitement, Mo Ming didn't press the bid button, and the item was eventually sold for 18 Ancient Spirit Coins.

The third item.

[Beast Taming Scroll: Crimson Grade]

Description: Can tame crimson-level beasts, including plants. The weaker the target, the higher the success rate. Tamed beasts will be absolutely loyal to their master!

Starting bid: 20 Ancient Coins.

The starting bid was 50,000 lower than the first item, the Crimson Armored Rhinoceros, but that's understandable.

After all, the success rate of taming scrolls is not 100%, but the one for the Crimson Armored Rhinoceros is a bound taming scroll, which can definitely be tamed.

So a lower price is reasonable.

Soon, a new round of bidding began, and Mo Ming did not hesitate. He entered 26 in the input box and went all in.

Success or failure depends on this!

Unfortunately, this price wasn't enough for him to acquire the crimson-purple taming scroll; the price soared to 32 before finally stopping.

Although he didn't manage to bid on the item, Mo Ming still managed to glean some information.

Given that each person can only bid on one item, if they encounter an item like the first Crimson Armored Rhinoceros or the third Taming Scroll, those who want it will almost certainly spend all their money.

From the initial 40 to the current 32, Mo Ming can roughly judge that as these wealthy people successfully bid and withdraw from the subsequent competition, the survivors who participate in the auction next will not have more than 32 in funds.

Of course, you can also borrow money.

Therefore, the longer it goes on, the higher the success rate of Mo Ming's auction will be, provided that there are still things Mo Ming wants later.

......

As the auction progressed, it had already reached 11 p.m.

The auction has now reached its thirty-first item.

Upon seeing this product information, Mo Ming stared wide-eyed in disbelief. This was actually...?
