I, the Weakest Human, Start with a Hundredfold Bonus Talent！ - Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Chapter113-Intermission at the Auction
“37 million! 40 million! 43 million! The price keeps rising! After four rounds of bidding, the price has increased by 13 million!

So, does any esteemed guest want to offer a higher price to win this [Legendary] quality one-time item?”

On the stage!

The female host’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

It’s not hard to understand; after all, as the host of this auction, her salary is directly tied to the total sales of this event!

According to the rules, the auction house takes one percent of the final price of each item as a fee, and one percent of these accumulated fees is Peggy’s salary.

Naturally, she hopes the final prices will be as high as possible!

But this kind of slow and steady increase, like boiling a frog in warm water, makes one wonder what the final price will be.

John pondered for a long time, then made a resolute decision and pressed the button again.

“65 million.”

“Oh my god! The esteemed guest in VIP Box 2 has directly offered 65 million! Is there anyone else willing to compete with this bid?

Allow me to repeat once more, this item is the first [Legendary] quality item of this auction. I’m sure everyone present understands its preciousness!

So, does anyone want to bid?”

The audience fell silent.

John had raised the bid by over 20 million in one go, a bold move that intimidated many players.

There was no other way.

65 million is almost the entire fortune of most people present.

Not everyone is willing to gamble their entire fortune on a possibility.

“So… 65 million going once, going twice, going three times! Congratulations to the esteemed guest in VIP Box 2 for winning the first [Legendary] quality item!”

As the gavel fell, John finally breathed a sigh of relief.

65 million is definitely not a small amount. Even with Old Mac’s wealth backing him, John felt a bit of a headache.

But fortunately, he got the item.

Clearly, the appearance of a [Legendary] item had completely ignited the passion of the audience.

The bidding for the next few items was quite intense, with prices quickly breaking the 10 million mark.

However, these items were of little use to John and did not interest Exiled Immortal and his companions, so they didn’t participate in the bidding.

As the cheers in the hall continued, an iron cage was slowly pushed onto the stage.

“So, the next auction item is somewhat special. For certain classes, its value even exceeds that of [Legendary] quality equipment!

Next up is the twelfth item of this auction, an [Epic] quality accessory—the Badge of the Barbarian Chieftain!”

As the black cloth covering the tray was lifted, a roughly crafted badge came into view.

The badge’s main feature was a sharp axe and a long spear intertwined, polished from some unknown material and glued together with some plant sap, about the size of a palm.

But what truly mattered was its almost divine attributes!

“[Increases Attack based on the wearer’s lost HP, up to 60%. Upon killing an enemy, restores HP equal to 25% of the wearer’s maximum HP. This effect can be triggered once every 30 minutes.]”

It’s no exaggeration to say that this badge was almost tailor-made for the warrior class, especially the berserker class!

With the life-saving skill [Undying Fury], the berserker class can lock their HP at one point for thirty seconds.

During this period, the badge’s attribute bonus can be fully utilized, granting a 60% Attack increase and HP recovery upon kills.

One could say that the only reason this item didn’t reach [Legendary] quality was due to its many restrictions, as almost only berserker class players could fully benefit from this bonus.

However, most berserker class players were not particularly… wealthy. The starting bid of 15 million alone was enough to deter many.

Noticing the fervor in Qing’s eyes, John smirked and pressed the button.

“20 million.”

John’s bid instantly silenced the previously noisy auction hall.

20 million was an astronomical amount for players who were not adept traders!

“Listen! Father Kent, if you help me buy this badge, I’ll serve you for the next ten years!”

In a corner of the auction hall, a fierce-looking, burly man grasped the priest’s wrist, his eyes bloodshot as he spoke word by word, “I really need this item!”

“Bradley, take your filthy hands off me!”

Father Kent frowned, pulling his hand free from Bradley’s grasp, and said in a deep voice, “I don’t have that kind of money, so you’d better give up.”

“You clearly brought 100 million!”

“That’s because I heard there’s a [Legendary] quality item for the Priest class up for auction! Just because I brought you here doesn’t mean I’ll pay for you! Don’t forget, this is something Box 2 wants!”

Father Kent glanced at Bradley with exasperation and took a deep breath.

“Haven’t you noticed? Any item Box 2 bids on, no one else can outbid them. Who knows how much money they have, so just give up. Even if I put all my money in, I wouldn’t win it. Besides, I have my own needs for that money.”

Hearing this, Bradley felt extremely reluctant, so he looked towards Box 2, only to meet Qing’s gaze.

With just one look, both felt a surge of battle spirit.

As fellow berserkers, Bradley also ranked high on the player power rankings, comfortably within the top twenty.

As for the person in the box, if there were no surprises, it should be Qing, ranked fourth in power.

Bradley had never seen Qing in person, but the intense aura made it easy to guess.

“Qing, what are you looking at?”

Seeing Qing staring out the glass window, Exiled Immortal approached and asked curiously, “Did you see someone you know?”

“No, I just saw a worthy opponent. John, has anyone raised the bid?”

“No, the badge is yours.”

“That’s good.”

Qing nodded slightly, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

It’s no exaggeration to say that once he gets this badge, in the state of activating the Undying Fury skill and fully utilizing all the bonuses, he could probably break through Elaria’s vine barrier and even severely injure Elaria directly!

One must know that Elaria is currently the absolute strongest.

Even when facing Talcavano’s city lord, Elaria would not fall behind.

Players who could severely injure her are not just few; there are almost none.

The only ones who might be able to achieve this are Exiled Immortal gathering the storm and Qing in a near-death state.

“So, congratulations to the esteemed guest in VIP Box 2 for winning the third item of today’s auction!

It’s getting late, and the sky outside is growing dark.

We kindly ask everyone to move along.

Today’s auction ends here for now, but there will be more treasures up for bid tomorrow.

We also ask the winners to follow our staff to the back to collect your items.”

The first day of the auction ended there.

John calculated that just these three items had cost Old Mac almost a third of his fortune, and there would be auctions for the next three days.

It was clear that the money they brought was far from enough to win all the desired items, and John urgently needed a large sum of money.

But before that, they should first take a look at the treasures they had won.

Following the staff to the back, due to Old Mac’s status, they were greeted by the manager of the auction house.

Following a maid into the room, the manager in a luxurious robe immediately approached with a warm smile.

“Mac! My old buddy, long time no see. How have you been? Are these the friends you brought with you?”

“The same as always, monotonous days without any difference.”

“My friend, have you stopped pursuing the Shadows of the Past? I’m glad to see you’ve moved on.”

Hearing this, Old Mac snorted coldly in response.

“Enough with the small talk, Barry. Where are the items we won? Bring them out quickly.”

“Don’t you want to catch up with an old friend? You’re still so impatient, old buddy. Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared the items you won.”

As he spoke, Barry beckoned with his finger, and two voluptuous women in revealing clothes swayed their hips as they approached.
