Chapter 13016
Chapter 13016
Looking at it now, if he had followed his plan to compete for the Mask of Killing Intent, he might have gotten a great deal!
In that way, he could not only make up for his mistake of bidding against the higher level of the Ancient Ice Soul at the beginning, but he could also become a great contributor to the entire Wu family!
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
At this moment, Wu Gongzi was not the only one slapping his thigh.
The other people in the private rooms all had the same expression.
The three major clients who had just given up bidding were especially regretful.
If they had known this would happen, they would have definitely given it a try, even if they had to give it a random price with their eyes closed.
As a result, just because of the concern for that so-called face, they missed out on the immortal divine equipment, the Mask of Killing Intent!
It's important to understand that given the immense value of the Killing Intent Mask, once they acquire it, even if they don't use it themselves, they can easily earn tens or even hundreds of auction coins by reselling it on the market.
This one thing alone is enough to make them all regret it for thirty years.
Qian Tongtian, standing backstage, laughed in exasperation: "Seventy coins? The Mask of Killing Intent is only worth seventy coins? Who are you trying to humiliate to death?"
Even so, with the foundation laid by the previous forty lots, the final sales figure for today's auction will still be quite impressive.
But this mask of murderous intent costing seventy coins will definitely drastically reduce his overall performance!
No matter how much he boasts, he'll have to back down if someone just casually mentions his murderous intent.
Anyone would feel aggrieved in that situation.
The assistant tried to comfort him, saying, "There's also the ultimate treasure, the Myriad Ends of All Things. Everyone agrees that this is the most valuable piece of immortal divine equipment, and it can definitely turn the tide!"
"Turning the tide my ass!"
Qian Tongtian immediately launched into a tirade of curses.
The assistants were immediately stunned.
Qian Tongtian said angrily, "A bunch of idiots, haven't they realized yet? These big clients are all scared off by that Lin Yi!"
"The higher the rank of the immortal divine equipment, the less likely they are to bid!"
"Just you wait and see, the final price of the End of All Things will definitely not be high, it might even be lower than the Mask of Killing Intent!"
The assistants exchanged bewildered glances: "That's unlikely, isn't it?"
The fact that the mask of murderous intent was sold for seventy coins was already a disaster for them.
If this is the ultimate treasure, the Myriad Manifestations of Demise, which is even inferior to the Mask of Killing Intent, then today's special auction will absolutely become a complete joke.
"The final piece of immortal divine armor, the end of all things..."
Halfway through his speech, the auctioneer suddenly froze with a strange expression and couldn't help but turn around to look at the back of the room.
"Go ahead and say something? Why aren't you saying anything?"
The crowd below immediately urged them on impatiently.
The auctioneer turned around, his face still bearing a professional smile, but to everyone else, it looked worse than crying.
However, out of professional ethics, he still forced himself to announce: "The last piece of immortal divine equipment, the End of All Things, has been acquired by the VIP in Box 5, for a price of... ten coins."
As soon as he finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the entire room.
No one spoke for a long time.
Until someone below broke the silence, trembling: "How much did you say? Ten coins? The End of All Things only got ten coins? Are you fucking kidding me?"
Everyone in and out of the room stared at the auctioneer, all with expressions that said, "Are you kidding me?"
The auctioneer gave a wry smile: "It is indeed ten coins. You can see for yourselves."
On the bidding board for the End of All Things, only Lin Yi's name was displayed, with a bid of ten coins.
There were no other competitors.
The entire audience erupted in cheers.
"Ten coins? The starting bid for the Immortal Divine Gear is ten coins, and he only bid the starting price!"
"The End of All Things, which has been promoted for so long, was actually sold for ten coins?"
"You can't joke like that!"
Qian Tongtian's vision went black for a moment, and his brain felt like it was going to explode with blood.
With his strength as a powerful being beyond the level of a magic god, he almost fainted on the spot from anger.
The level of the End of All Things surpasses that of the Mask of Killing Intent.
Even with the vast treasury of the God of Wealth Academy, it would definitely be one of the top-ranking divine equipment.
Now, things have turned out differently. The Mask of Killing Intent was snatched up for 70 coins, while the End of All Things was simply snatched up for 10 coins!
The key point is that it was the same person who snagged the bargain!
This one thing alone is enough to erase all his achievements!
From this day forward, the fact that ten coins were ever used to complete a transaction will become a huge stain on Qian Tongtian's reputation for the rest of his life.
With such a stain on his record, it's uncertain whether he can even maintain his current position, let alone compete for a position as an elder in the decision-making body.
No matter how much effort he puts in behind the scenes or how vast his network of connections is, he has to shut up immediately if someone just casually mentions the end of all things.
It's no exaggeration to say that this auction completely ruined Qian Tongtian's future career!
The most fatal thing is that this is not a fault of non-war, but rather the result of his own deliberate alteration of the rules.
As long as the original rules are followed, even if the final transaction amount is not outstanding, it will not be too bad.
In any case, achieving a respectable performance is a piece of cake, especially with the help of various personal connections behind the scenes.
For Qian Tongtian, even if the position of elder in the decision-making body is not a sure thing, his chances of winning are extremely high.
Now look what happened! He meticulously planned this whole mess, hoping to make a name for himself, but instead of showing his face, he ended up exposing his own mess.
"Lin Yi! It's all because of this Lin Yi!"
Qian Tongtian finally recovered and stared intently at VIP room number five, wishing he could tear Lin Yi to pieces.
Despite the unfriendly stares from all sides, Lin Yi showed no unusual reaction.
The God of Wealth Academy has a certain prestige, so it's unlikely that someone would be allowed to stay after taking advantage of a bargain.
No matter how envious the people below were, they couldn't touch him in the slightest.
That being said, even Lin Yi himself was overjoyed and quite relieved at this moment.
As Qian Tongtian said, his entire bidding strategy this time, besides exhausting the ammunition of his main competitors in advance, was to play psychological warfare!
He figured the other players wouldn't dare to target the best Immortal gear, so he could pick up the bargains instead.
However, even in Zhang Baiyu's proposed plan, the core option was to concentrate all firepower on the End of All Things in order to maximize the success rate.
This final round of simultaneous bids for both the Mask of Killing Intent and the End of All Things was entirely Lin Yi's own impromptu decision, and the risk was considerable. Any slight misstep could have led to failure.
Fortunately, the results proved that he won his gamble.
With just eighty bidding coins, he secured the two highest-quality Immortal Gear items in the entire auction, instantly becoming the number one winner! (End of Chapter)
