Chapter 98 Auctioning the Heart of the Golden Lord
[You have been slaughtering innocent people in Central City. The city guards are about to arrest you.]
Alan didn't care and picked up the quest scroll that the beggar had dropped.
Asover a dozen city guards surrounded Alan, their captain's voice rang out sternly,
"How dare you! You dare to kill people in Starcity!"
The captain of the city guards reprimanded coldly, "Now come with us to face judgment."
"Judgment on me?" Alan smirked playfully. "You are not qualified."
As soon as he finished speaking, the divine phantom of the Ice Goddess appeared.
It had to be said, the divine phantom of the Ice Goddess was very useful.
Upon seeing it, all the city guards knelt down.
"Hail to our God, may our God live forever!!"
Not only them, but some of the surrounding NPCs also knelt down, showing great respect.
As for the surrounding players, they were all staring at this scene in shock.
Some quick-reacting ones had already recorded the scene and posted it on the forum.
Someone: [Is this for real? Killing people in Starcity, and not only do the city guards not arrest him, they even kneel to him.]
Someone: [Am I playing a different game? Last time, I just hit another player and got fined five gold coins.]
Many people were discussing.
The video of Alan using the divine phantom to intimidate the city guards quickly went viral online, sparking widespread discussion among players. High-level players stepped forward to offer explanations.
[I think there are nobles among players, and there's also something called reputation. Our guild's vice president is now a baron in Stellaria, enjoying certain privileges.]
[A baron can kill people in Central City? Or is it because he only killed a beggar, so he wasn't held accountable?]
[Unlikely. I think even a baron shouldn't make people kneel after killing someone. And you heard the city guards say, 'Hail to our God, may our God live forever.' Clearly, it has something to do with the phantom behind that player.]
For a while, there were many different opinions online.
But later, a player named Thomas explained on the forum.
Thomas: [It should be the phantom. I also did a quest and received a blessing from the gods. After getting the blessing, you can summon something called a divine phantom, which looks a lot like this player's.]
Thomas: [The deity worshiped in Stellaria is the Ice Goddess. This player's divine phantom should be from this Goddess.]
Thomas's explanation immediately made many people understand.
Player 1: [So that's it. But there's actually something like a blessing from the gods? That's too unbelievable.]
Player 2: [I don't know, but it sounds amazing. Can you explain what the blessing from the gods is?]
Player 3: [Yes, explain it. What is this blessing from the gods?]
A lot of people started tagging @Thomas.
After all, very few people had access to the blessing from the gods at this stage.
Thomas was quite approachable and quickly responded.
Thomas: [The blessing from the gods grants extraordinary skills. I received a blessing from Aurora Goldenlight, which rewarded the Golden Spell, a skill that combines offense and defense and is quite strong.]
Thomas: [As for how to get it, you can't get it from tasks given by ordinary NPCs. You need to obtain a quest scroll and complete the tasks on it to have a chance."
Thomas was explaining.
Meanwhile, Alan had already left Starcity.
After obtaining the quest scroll, he checked it.
[If a person lives without dreams, they are just going through the motions. Even a beggar should dream of becoming the richest person.]
[Quest requirement: Earn 1 million gold coins within three days.]
[Quest penalty: Unknown.]
[Quest reward: Unknown.]
After getting this quest, Alan found it somewhat amusing.
'Make money?'
'Is that hard?'
'It's not hard at all!'
So, Alan decided to organize an auction.
For the auction location, Alan directly chose a group chat auction.
And he started to frantically add friends.
He added all the big shots, guild leaders, financial group heads, government officials, and private bigwigs he knew from his previous life.
Thanks to his Ice King title, ninety percent of them accepted his friend request.
Then, Alan pulled them all into a group chat.
[Ice King, what's this about?]
Gerald Paker spoke in the group.
Blade Warrior: [Suddenly pulling all of us big guild people into a group, are you planning to raid a world boss?]
Virgil Newman: [Ice King, do you have a way to make money that you want to share?]
Seeing enough people in the group, Alan replied: [I'm short on gold coins and plan to auction some equipment, ranging from level 10 to level 50.]
He began by posting a few sets of level 10 gear that he had gotten from the newbie village.
Player 1: [Ice King, this gear is not good. Level 10 is a bit outdated.]
Alan hesitated for a moment and then posted a bunch of level 45 gear that he had gotten from farming the Bloodback Turtle.
Virgil Newman: [Ice King, our elite group players are only around level 21 or 22. We can't invest heavily in level 45 gear right now.]
Alan fell silent.
He had been a bit presumptuous.
He had a lot of gear, but the level differences were too great.
As for the skill books he had before, he had mostly fed them to the "A Withered Tree Springing to Life Again" skill.
Alan replied: [Wait for me.]
While gear got outdated quickly, skills didn't.
He needed to farm some more skill books.
However, he seemed to have a better option.
For example, the Heart of the Lord.
Keeping that in mind, Alan promptly posted the stats of the Golden Heart of the Lord.
[Golden Heart of the Lord. If you get it now, you can build a territory, and since it's golden grade, the territory will have five territory traits.]
The group chat fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Virgil Newman replied: [Not bad, I'll offer 2,000 gold coins.]
Gerald Paker: [???]
Gerald Paker: [Since Virgil Newman isn't interested, our Endless Conquerors will offer 200,000 gold coins.]
Dreamfrost: [Ice King, you're generous. Our guild has always wanted to build our own territory. We'll offer 250,000 gold coins.]
Blade Warrior: [Stop fighting. Our Berserker Guild offers 400,000 gold coins.]
The price swiftly escalated.
After reaching 400,000 gold coins, the bidding slowed down.
For no other reason, even if these guilds pooled their resources, three to four hundred thousand gold coins were about the limit.
Virgil Newman: [Ice King, we've hit our limit on gold coins. How about 400,000 gold coins plus 5 million in cash?]
Blade Warrior: [Virgil Newman, didn't you just say it was just"not bad?" Why are you raising the bid now?]
