Chapter 1214: Two Hundred Million!
80 million!
No wonder it's the marquee item; this is the second bid.
It jumped straight from a zero base price to 80 million.
A level‑75 Divine Artifact; its stats are quite good, but still a bit low, so it can only be useful at this stage. Once you reach level 90 or the hundred‑level Fifth Rebirth, it will definitely be replaced.
There's no obvious difference in the earlier Third Rebirths.
But this equipment that burst out in the Fourth Rebirth now—veterans on the Domestic Server can already see something that the previous factions lacked.
In the past, the factions didn't have equipment with class‑change requirements.
Now the gear produced in Huangcheng is basically all above level 80 and requires Fourth Rebirth.
Both are level 80, but the Huangcheng‑produced, Fourth‑Rebirth‑required gear has noticeably higher stats than the Main City‑produced gear that doesn't require Fourth Rebirth.
Of course, a Divine Artifact is still a Divine Artifact.
So far no Divine Artifact above level 80 has appeared; it's unclear whether Divine Artifacts will ever have such class‑change requirements.
Thus, this level‑75 Divine Artifact longbow, while the marquee item of this Auction, has relatively limited value.
And of course, 80 million isn't the end!
Su Sheng immediately grabbed his phone and sent a message to Xuan Yu Wu.
"I'll go, one hundred million!"
A deep voice rang out from Yanhuang Guild's private box.
"Wow~ over a hundred million!"
"That's Yanhuang!"
"Is that the voice of Mo Wen the Great?"
"No wonder it's a dark horse, so magnanimous!"
Many players in the hall began to chatter.
But some people were clearly puzzled.
"As far as I know, aside from Morning Star, every guild has a major conglomerate backing it; otherwise they couldn't become a powerhouse, right?"
"Yeah, but it seems the newly split Snowfall Qiancheng?"
"You don't know that the Deputy President of Snowfall Qiancheng is rumored to have been married to the Chairman? They divorced, and that's why it split off. Since they divorced, the assets were divided substantially, so even without a conglomerate, they likely have plenty of resources themselves."
"That's a legit asset grab, really profitable."
"But doesn't Yanhuang also lack a conglomerate backing?"
"Silly, you forgot Morning Star?"
"But isn't Morning Star's wealth built up over ten years by the masses?"
"The current Zhu Lu market is far larger than the old factions. Don't underestimate that the server's been open for just about a year, but given Yanhuang's momentum, the capital they're holding now is certainly not inferior to ordinary conglomerates."
"Right, the foot traffic in Yanhuang Town during the early Third Rebirth at level 60—do you know how huge it was?"
"It's absurd."
Many in the hall kept discussing while watching Yanhuang's private box, their eyes showing envy.
After all, those invited by Treasure Hall are all well‑known figures, essentially celebrities of the Zhu Lu Game.
Everyone has grand ambitions, but how many can truly break through such a massive market?
Like Yun Duo Guild, still a second‑level guild, it's already rather obscure.
If it weren't for a touch of clouds and a handful of elites supporting it, Yun Duo Guild would probably be in worse shape.
Back then, the hype around a hint of clouds wasn't as big as Su Sheng's, but as one of the early masters who obtained a Hidden Class, it was notable.
During the inaugural First Cup Battle, it was momentarily unrivaled in hype.
But compared now, Yun Duo Guild and Yanhuang Guild are worlds apart.
…
"110 million!"
In the Universe private box, Li Xiao shouted a price, then glanced back at Su Sheng: "Chairman Su, hehe, fair competition."
【5】 Su Sheng nodded: "Naturally."
Su Sheng nodded: "Naturally."
There's nothing more to say, just fair competition.
"115 million." Shenhua Guild shouted another bid.
"116 million!" Dawn.
"120 million!" Shenhua Guild!
"122 million!!" Morning Star.
As Morning Star bid, the others in the hall resumed discussing the same topics as before.
But compared with Yanhuang, Morning Star isn't as dazzling; although after ten years of the factions' accumulation it became a powerhouse, the original factions' market was never as massive as today's near‑nationwide Zhu Lu.
In an instant, the guilds raced to outbid each other.
Soon the price was pushed to 140 million!
Su Sheng frowned slightly; logically this is already a huge premium. In Su Sheng's mind, a 75‑level longbow is about 100 million.
After all, to justify its price at this stage, you must be able to leverage the corresponding advantages of a level‑75 longbow.
However, Su Sheng glanced at Huan Jie beside him, picked up his phone, and prepared to act.
At that moment, Lin Huan suddenly reached out, her delicate jade‑like finger gently pressing Su Sheng's hand.
"Hmm?"
Su Sheng turned his head puzzled, looking at Huan Jie.
Lin Huan shook his head; although he didn't speak, the meaning was already very obvious—evidently he wanted Su Sheng to give up competing.
After all, 140 million has already exceeded the price.
"It's fine, Huan Jie." Su Sheng gave a hehe laugh; Yanhuang's current scale, although not as big as those conglomerates, but the cash flow Yanhuang can now produce is absolutely more than sufficient compared to ordinary conglomerates.
150 million!!
Yanhuang's private box raised the price again.
200 million!!
At this moment, a voice from the Shenhua Guild side sounded, determined to win.
This time, the private boxes of many guilds all fell silent.
It's not that they can't produce it, but rather they won't stop.
This has already doubled; although the 80th-level stage can function for a long time, it is ultimately being eliminated.
Spending 200 million to buy it, whether it can create 200 million value remains a question.
"Truly worthy of the Xuanyuan Consortium, so rich and bold."
"Tsk tsk..."
Su Sheng had originally intended to bid, but his phone was snatched away by Huan Jie.
In response, Su Sheng could only smile helplessly.
Originally, the core purpose of my coming to this auction this time was to get this divine-artifact long bow for Huan Jie.
As a result…
Ah~
The Xuanyuan Consortium, the biggest conglomerate in Huaxia, is indeed rich and bold.
Finally…
This long bow fell into the hands of the Shenhua Guild at a price of 200 million.
"Thank you all for your support; then the offline auction of the Treasure Hall this time has perfectly concluded!"
Gu Qingcheng stood on the stage, bearing a proper smile.
At the same time, the situation of this auction had already exploded on the forum immediately.
A 75th-level divine-artifact long bow sold for 200 million.
If luck is good and one can obtain it, an ordinary person directly achieves a class leap.
Even if taxes still need to be paid, the money in hand is not something ordinary people can imagine.
For a moment, the entire forum was extremely hot on this topic.
