Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 382 Chapter381-Final Price, 120 Million!

Upon hearing Kingserp's accusatory tone, Bambooist didn't show any annoyance. She chuckled lightly and responded, "I simply think the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set could be useful for the Traveler's Association, so I made the bid. There's no other implication."

Kingserp's mouth twitched slightly, barely concealing his anger. He pressed on discontentedly, "You are merchants, not warriors. Why would you need such an item? Are you targeting my Dawn Guild?"

Bambooist smiled calmly, her eyes reflecting a firm resolve. "As an epic-tier set, it signifies immense potential. Our clients at the Traveler's Association come from various classes – warriors, mages, archers, and more. Even if we don't need it, our clients always will..."

The audience nodded in agreement upon hearing Bambooist's explanation. After all, the Traveler's Association's vast business certainly required a diverse range of equipment, not just those specific to a particular class.

Adam also looked contemplative, giving Bambooist a thoughtful glance.

Kingserp, burning with anger and unwillingness, stood up and glared at Bambooist. "Bambooist, your association is merely a coalition of merchants. This equipment is meaningless for you. Your actions are quite inappropriate!"

Bambooist let out a cold laugh, unafraid of Kingserp's anger. She emphasized, "The Traveler's Association has always focused on commerce. Selling various virtual items is our main source of income. Given the preciousness of the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set, we are naturally willing to bid higher to acquire it."

The other guild leaders present also voiced their opinions, supporting Bambooist. In the gaming world, the Traveler's Association had always been an entity independent of major powers, growing strong solely through trade and business, not to be underestimated.

Moreover, these top guilds already have quite close collaborations with the Traveler's Association. After all, top guilds typically have substantial demands for resources, and only the Traveler's Association has the capability to meet all their needs.

Adam even smiled and added, "Bambooist is right. Auctions are all about fair competition. The highest bidder wins. The Traveler's Association has built a good reputation over the years, much of it due to Bambooist's efforts. I think we can deepen our cooperation in the future, especially since this game seems set to be the mainstream for the next decade. There's so much potential to be explored."

Bambooist nodded with a smile, expressing her gratitude: "Thank you for your praise, Adam. The Traveler's Association has always been dedicated to providing players with high-quality virtual items and services. Everything we do is to meet players' demands for advanced equipment."

"As for the cooperation you mentioned, Adam, I don't think anyone would refuse an olive branch extended by Genesis Guild. We are always open to collaboration."

With a gentle smile, Bambooist turned to look at Kingserp, whose face was clouded with displeasure. She chuckled lightly, "Kingserp, you should know that the Traveler's Association has always focused on trade. Earning wealth in the game is our goal. As for this epic-tier set, we indeed have sufficient funds and resources to compete. There's no intention of targeting you at all..."

Kingserp clenched his fists tightly, his face betraying his anger. However, he also knew that dwelling on this issue was pointless at the moment. Despite his unstable mental state, Kingserp realized he couldn't afford to offend Bambooist lightly. It wasn't out of fear of her, but rather a cautious respect for the massive Traveler's Association behind her.

In the gaming world, there's a popular saying: "If you're a gamer, you'll inevitably do business with the Travelers." Kingserp was acutely aware of the truth behind this adage. In the realm of virtual gaming, offending one of the top ten guilds might make life difficult, but there was still a way to survive. However, crossing the Traveler's Association meant only one thing: deleting your account and quitting the game. No one could avoid purchasing their items in-game, just as no one could live without food or water.

"So, Bambooist is also interested in this Amethyst Magic Dragon Set. Let's compete fairly then," Kingserp calmed down, gritting his teeth before announcing a new bid: "One hundred and fifteen million!"

Bambooist's expression remained unchanged, and she casually stated a number: "One hundred and twenty million."

Kingserp's countenance flickered, though hidden in the shroud of darkness, it went unnoticed. After much hesitation, he finally decided to give up on bidding higher.

"One hundred and twenty million for the first time!"

"One hundred and twenty million for the second time!"

"One hundred and twenty million for the third time! Any higher bids?"

Onstage, Isabella deliberately waited a moment before seeing no further bids, she hammered down. "Congratulations to the Traveler's Association for successfully acquiring the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set!"

The auction hall immediately erupted into enthusiastic applause, particularly from the players on the first floor who stood up to applaud and pay their respects to the second-floor box.

Bambooist smiled slightly, gesturing for everyone to calm down and signaling to Isabella, "Miss Isabella, we will pay one hundred and twenty million in cash and hope to process the transaction as soon as possible."

After all, it was a nine-figure item; it was best to secure it in the inventory sooner rather than later to avoid any unforeseen complications. Not that Bambooist distrusted the security of Dawn Breeze Auction House, but as a merchant, she was accustomed to the principle of securing goods promptly.

"No problem, Guild Leader Bambooist. Someone will deliver the items to your box shortly, and we will sign the transaction contract," Isabella responded warmly.

Players cast envious glances at Bambooist. A whopping sum, a nine-figure amount in cash, was just spent without a blink. Such display of wealth was astonishingly bold.

Up in the second-floor box, John saw Loving_Lollipop's wistful expression and chuckled, "Kid, why didn't you join the bidding? Seems like this set of equipment didn't catch your fancy?"

Loving_Lollipop looked helplessly and mumbled, "Are you kidding me? Where would I get that kind of money? Forget one hundred and twenty million, I can't even afford twelve thousand!"

John raised an eyebrow teasingly, "So, you're that broke, huh? Why didn't you sell the hidden class you got then? If you had offered a class change scroll for a hidden class in an auction like this, getting rich overnight wouldn't be a dream."

Loving_Lollipop's face fell, "Don't remind me. I completed the class change quest without thinking it through and only later realized how valuable it was... And it's like a bottomless pit. All the money I've earned in the game has pretty much gone into developing this class."

Patting his shoulder, John said earnestly, "That's why I advised you to join a big guild, kid. Going solo won't support a high-maintenance hidden class like yours."

Scratching his head, Loving_Lollipop suddenly asked, "Galewind, why didn't you bid for this set? Don't tell me it's because you're broke too?"

John shook his head with a smile, "This Amethyst Magic Dragon Set really doesn't mean much to me. I already have better equipment."

Loving_Lollipop looked at John, his face full of confusion.

No matter how much he observed, Loving_Lollipop couldn't identify the superior equipment John mentioned. The Amethyst Magic Dragon Set on the stage was dazzling, with purple gems sparkling under the spotlight. In contrast, John's attire seemed plain, with a tattered cloak and a ferocious mask being the only items of interest. There was no evident glow or aura that could suggest anything better than the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set.

Loving_Lollipop couldn't help but smirk secretly. He thought John was just broke and trying to save face.

"Actually, I'm not that interested in the set itself. I'm more intrigued by the origin of this equipment," Loving_Lollipop commented, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.

John was momentarily taken aback, quickly realizing why. He almost forgot what the youngster's hidden class was. Dragon Slayer Warrior, undoubtedly sensitive to the essence of dragon-kind. The Amethyst Magic Dragon Set was entirely crafted from the remains of an Amethyst Magic Dragon.

The lingering aura of the Amethyst Magic Dragon on the equipment, sparking Loving_Lollipop's interest, was not surprising.

"Since you're interested in this equipment, after the auction, we can approach Bambooist and ask to borrow the set for you to examine. Perhaps you might uncover some clues," John suggested in a casual tone, unaware of the young man's jaw dropping in disbelief.

"Big shot, you know the guild leader of the Traveler Association? For real?" Loving_Lollipop asked, astounded.

John glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "What do you think?"

Loving_Lollipop was left speechless.

"I mean, how good must your relationship be to have someone willingly lend you equipment worth 1.2 billion?" Loving_Lollipop muttered under his breath, his expression turning peculiar.

Could it be that Galewind and the sophisticated and beautiful leader of the Traveler Association had a certain kind of relationship?

John, with his vast experience, immediately realized the boy's misconceptions from just a glance. He slapped Loving_Lollipop's head lightly and said irritably, "What nonsense are you thinking? Be more positive, young man. My relationship with Bambooist isn't what you're imagining."

Loving_Lollipop didn't take offense; instead, he put on a knowing, mischievous expression.

"I get it... I get it..." he said with a nod.
