Terra Nova Online : Rise Of The Strongest Player - Chapter 457

Chapter 457: Winning Bids (3)
“Hey, hey, hey…. What the hell! That guy has spent close to 36 million gold coins already, who the hell is number 98? Just how much money does he have?” An audience member asked, as by this point everyone in the room seemed to have figured out that number 98 was not to be messed with.

Initially when Leo was betting on every single item without winning a single bid, everyone thought that he was a fool who was trying to ruin other people’s auctions, however, now as Leo had already placed bids worth over 36 million and was showing no signs of slowing down, sweat began to trickle down the foreheads of everyone.

The shouts criticizing him had all shut-up now, as not a single player dared question him anymore.

Just like how Leo realized that he may not be as rich as he presumed himself to be, the other players in the room also felt the same after Leo won the bid for 9 items alone.

The players who had tokens from 1-80 had over 6 months to prepare for this auction and had worked really hard to gather as much money as they could before the auction began.

Some resorted to looting and pillaging, some borrowed money from other players or their guilds, while some earnt them through legitimate means, however, everyone pushed hard to gather the money.

Most players ended up gathering somewhere between 2-5 million gold coins for the auction, while the better players gathered between 7-11 million.

Leo however, walked into the auction with over 66 million in funds, which was 6 times higher than the next richest player.

In terms of wealth, he outshadowed everyone big-time and for common players who struggled to even gather 2-5 million, the sum of 30+ million seemed impossible to achieve.

“Who the hell is number 98? Just what sort of background does he have to be able to spend such money with ease?” A player wondered, as everyone within the room now fell dead silent whenever Leo raised a placard.

However, the player who was the most shocked was none other than Cervantez, who knew that ‘TheBoss’ should not have access to such wealth.

‘Something is wrong here….. ‘TheBoss’ is way too wealthy for a Baron of an underdeveloped region.

The only player with the sort of wealth he is splurging in Terra Nova is Luke’s brother, Leo Skyshard.

So the only reason why ‘TheBoss’ can splurge so openly must be because Leo had lent him millions…..’ Cervantez thought, as the previous smile from his face was wiped completely.

The Boss was obtaining too many invaluable items in this auction, and he was sure to grow even stronger once it ended because of Leo’s support, and Cervantez did not like it one bit.

‘The question is why? Why is Leo Skyshard supporting ‘TheBoss’ and why does he trust him enough to lend him millions?

I always thought that ‘TheBoss’ is a solo show, however, with backers like Leo Skyshard, he’s a much more formidable unit than I previously thought him to be’ Cervantez thought, as he let out a deep sigh.

“35 million gold coins….. my guild can’t earn such money in a year most likely, even with the silver mines working non-stop all year long” Cervantez commented self deprecatingly, as he rubbed his forehead in disbelief.

However, just when he thought that surely ‘TheBoss’ could not have any more money left to spend.

The Boss purchased 6 more items in a row from item number 79-84, spending a total of 30 million gold coins more.

The Boss purchased the items :-

1x Legendary Light Armor Set, ( Shin Pads, Arm Pads, Neck Guard and Groin Guard )

1x Enchanted Boots, ( +30% Agility boost )

1x Superior Berserk Potion ( All stats x2 for 30 minutes )

1x Enlightenment Potion ( Faster Learning Of Any Technique )

1x Thunder Talisman

1x Hurricane Summon Scroll

The Boss’s purchases made Cervantez feel incredibly nervous, as he was now sitting on 15 unique and extremely desirable collection of items.

If ‘TheBoss’ had any weaknesses before today, it was the fact that he did not fight with any sort of protective gear, however, that weakness had been wiped out today.

Not only did he purchase Elven Chainmail to protect his torso, but a legendary light armor set to protect his arms, shins, neck and groin.

To cover these things up, he had the legendary assassin cloak and to top all that up he now had a unique life saving item too.

His defense had improved drastically with all these steps, however, his defensive capabilities improving was not even the tip of the iceberg of his improvements.

He had also improved his mobility with the enchanted boots, his stats by the star fruit and his move set by purchasing a skill manual that taught him a new skill naturally, rather than imparting the knowledge like a skill scroll.

On top of all this, he had purchased many unique potions and items like the Snake Gem, which made him an unstoppable unit overall.

” *Gulp* … just who is number 98? That guy has bought 15 items already. Just how many items does one guy really need? Where is the justice in this world?”

” Number 98 is not your average Joe, I pity the guy who wanted to challenge number 98 once they left this system space.

Number 98 is going to body that guy hard in a fight–”

“Holy shit! Even if I play this game for the next 10 years I probably still won’t be able to make the amount of money that guy spent in one night today”

“Do you think he will buy items 86-90 too? Or will he wait for the MP exclusive items now?”

The entire room was in awe of Leo’s performance, as he single handedly suppressed all other bidders in the room by displaying his overwhelming dominance in the second half of the bidding.

Unfortunately, he ran out of money to bid with when he won the hurricane summon scroll, which prevented him from bidding on the last 5 items that gold could buy.
