The attributes of cards that can appear in the auction are generally good. Because the auction house will charge a management fee of 500 gold coins every day, and the queue will be at least three days. If the card cannot be sold at a good price, not to mention making money, it will lose money. Players who bring garbage cards to the auction are definitely novices who don't know the business.
Therefore, when seeing the particularly unfamiliar newcomer LOGO "Yueban", most of the audience were not optimistic and had no interest in this card. They wanted the host to finish the process quickly and auction off the more valuable Seven-Star Card.
The host continued with a smile: "Next, please take a look at the front data of this card!"
On everyone's screen, the cards were flipped over at the same time—
There was a picture of a beautiful woman in a long dress on the front of the card. She had a pretty face and a slim figure. Her frail look was worrying. She was holding some light pink petals in her hand and throwing them to the ground. Her eyes were wet with tears, and she looked so pitiful that she almost cried.
A beautiful lady with a unique temperament! Many casual players' eyes lit up. The style of this character card is very unique. If the price is right, you can buy the girl home to collect. However, most of the players who love competitions still focus on the attributes and skills of the card after they sigh at the beauty of the girl on the card.
Lin Daiyu (Wood)
Card Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Available times: 1/1 times
Basic Attributes: HP 100, Attack 0, Defense 15, Agility 15, Critical Hit Rate 0%
Additional Skill: Daiyu Buries Flowers (Causes severe damage to flower cards, 30% chance of triggering instant death effect)
Daiyu burying flowers? The audience was stunned for a moment, staring at the card - the skill was effective on "flower cards", so it could only be used in the arena, not in dungeons. Instant death effect? I had never seen such a skill description before.
However, when the card experts sent by the major guilds to the auction house saw this card, they were all as excited as chickens and quickly told their presidents in private voice: "Boss, a magic card appeared in the auction house, an instant death card for the flower department!" "President, someone in the auction house is selling an instant death card for flowers!" "Damn, the person selling the card must be Tang Muzhou's enemy!" "Boss, what should we do, someone is selling an instant death card for the flower department!"
Tang Muzhou: “………………”
Uncle Fat, this is not very friendly of yours. Not only did you not reply to our emails, but you also put the Daiyu card up for auction?
This news soon spread to the ears of professional athletes through the presidents of various associations.
Star Card League Professional Player Chat Group——
Zheng Feng: "Hahaha, let me laugh for a moment. Tang Shen proposed an instant death judgment, but I didn't expect someone to make a flower-type instant death card for him!"
Qiao Xi: "Mr. Tang is so pitiful. Should we go to the auction house to grab this card?"
Ling Jingtang: "At this moment, I just want to express my feelings with a smile."
Ye Zhu: "Hahahahahaha I can't stop laughing!"
Shen An: "Don't laugh at my master! Be careful of retribution or you will be targeted!"

At the auction, the host said: "The starting price of this card is 3,000 gold coins!"
Many viewers complained in their hearts after hearing this: "Is this person crazy about money? The starting price of a one-star card is usually 500, right?" "A one-star card is so expensive, don't you consider the cost of raising it to seven stars?" "Is the author of this card too confident?"
But there were also many people who knew about cards. They kept silent and nervously placed their fingers on the price-increasing button, ready to grab the card.
As soon as the host shouted "start", the auction price on the big screen went up wildly -
3500…3800…4000…
Within a minute, the price rose to 5,000 gold coins.
5,000 gold is a threshold. People who often pay attention to the auction house know that most low-level cards that can be sold at this price are relatively good cards, because when bidding for a low-level card, you have to consider the cost of raising it to seven stars. It takes a lot of materials to upgrade a one-star card to a seven-star card. People who are really rich prefer to buy seven-star cards directly. And the middle class in the game will also consider whether their deck really needs this card before buying a low-level card.
It seems that there is not much shortage? Thinking of this, those who were about to bid stopped one after another.
The host said: "5,000 gold coins for one time, 5,000 gold coins for two times..."
Xie Mingzhe sat in the crowd and waited calmly. The Daiyu card must be worth more than this price. Don't players in the arena want to buy a death card? Or is it that this judgment appeared for the first time and many people still don't understand it?
The host said: "5,000 gold coins three..."
Before he could finish his words, a number suddenly appeared on everyone's screen.
——10000.
Ten thousand! It just doubled!
Many viewers were stunned. Could it be that some rich person accidentally pressed the wrong price increase button?
The host's intelligent character reacted quickly and immediately continued according to the set program: "Raise the price to 10,000 gold coins. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?"
——20000.
Someone doubled the bid again!
Until this moment, casual players who don’t know much about battle cards realized that this might really be a good card. But players who know about cards know that the card experts sent by major guilds to the auction house have finally made a move!
Sure enough, a new round of price war for cards has begun!
——30,000!
——40,000!
——50,000!
——60,000!
——100,000!
Stop when the photo reaches 100,000.
Star Card Storm has been running for so many years, and the lowest-level 1-star card that has been auctioned for such a high price of 100,000 is Tang Muzhou's vine card five years ago. Before Tang Muzhou, there were no vines in plant card decks. He created a new vine fighting style. The person who bought Tang Muzhou's vine card at the auction was his mentor in the future - this is also a beautiful story that many fans talk about with relish.
Of course, the prices five years ago are incomparable to today's prices. 100,000 yuan back then is equivalent to more than 300,000 yuan today.
But before Tang Muzhou took the vine card to auction, he had already made a name for himself in the black market, with countless fans. And now this person called "Yueban", who has never been seen before, came to the auction for the first time and made a death card - a thin beauty, skill Daiyu burying flowers - and it was auctioned for 100,000? Could it be that the second card-making genius is about to appear?
The audience stared at the screen intently with their eyes wide open, as if they were eating a good meal.
Buyers from all the major guilds were going crazy, and they immediately started private messaging with their guild leaders: "I don't know how many people are bidding for it, a level 1 card has already been bid for 100,000!" "Are there any members of the Fenghua Guild here? Are they afraid that this card will be bad for Tang Shen, so they're bidding desperately for it?" "Should we keep bidding until the end?" "President, please give me some advice, should we keep bidding?"
In fact, not only was Tang Muzhou present in person, but the Arbitration Guild also accepted the order from President Huanyue - to capture him no matter what.
During the time when buyers from various guilds were chatting privately with their guild leaders, the price of cards rose to 120,000.
The presidents of the guilds quickly issued instructions: "We don't need this little money, grab it!" "Take it if you can get it within 500,000!"
But there are also calm presidents who say: "This is the first auction of this artist. He will definitely sell in bulk in the future. There is no need to be a sucker. Let's wait and see for the first one."
The auction price is like a sports car with the accelerator pressed to the floor, speeding all the way!
——150,000!
——180,000!
——200,000!
——250,000!
The audience was so shocked that their jaws dropped. How many people were vying for this card?!
——300,000!
When the price was reached, the buyer from the Arbitration Guild was also frightened. He couldn't help but chat with the president in a trembling voice: "Boss, I guess Fenghua is determined to get this card. Do we really want to fight for it? This price is already outrageous!"
Huanyue frowned and pondered. A big guild like Judgment would not be short of 300,000 game coins. But if this continued, what would happen if Fatty realized that the cards he made could be sold at a high price and he was unwilling to work as a designer for Judgment Club?
Yes! He is such an idiot! He actually raised the price for Uncle Fatty at the auction? ? ?
Thinking of this, Huanyue immediately replied: "Stop!"
The judge ordered the action to stop, but some guilds that were unaware of the truth still wanted to take advantage of this death card against Tang Muzhou.
——350,000!
——400,000!
The auction scene was completely ignited. Many spectators excitedly turned on their video recording systems and live-broadcasted the bidding battle online. Many netizens who could not enter the auction also clicked on the live video and excitedly witnessed the historic moment when the price of the one-star card broke the record!
Buyers from all the major guilds were a little nervous, and the guild leaders were not quite sure about the situation.
Is someone raising the price maliciously? It shouldn't be raised this high!
Five years ago, Tang Muzhou's one-star card sold for 100,000. At that time, the gold price ratio was 3:1, which is equivalent to more than 300,000 gold coins today.
Logically speaking, even if a one-star card is top-notch, 300,000 gold coins is the limit at the current market price, because if you want to raise it to seven stars, you have to spend a lot of money. Even if the instant death skill appears for the first time, there is no need to fight so hard, right? The author is not just selling this one card, maybe there will be many more Lin Daiyu cards at tomorrow's auction? If you spend a lot of money to buy the first card, wouldn't you be a fool if you sell it in bulk later?
All the presidents are hesitating.
But Tang Muzhou did not hesitate. He narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to press the price increase button.
Suddenly, a line of numbers appeared on the screen.
——660,000.
This number is frozen there, as if silently telling everyone: "Keep adding, I will definitely win."
It was a number that carried its own aura, and even Xie Mingzhe was stunned.
Which local tyrant? It's really 666!
The venue suddenly fell silent, and the host's clear voice echoed throughout the hall: "660,000 once, 660,000 twice, 660,000 three times - deal!"
As the hammer fell, Xie Mingzhe, who was sitting in the conference hall, was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
It’s rich!
He had never expected that this card could be sold for 660,000 gold coins. Because this was the first instant death card, he guessed that the price of the card would be inflated by the price of the card due to the price hikes by the major guilds. He thought that the price would be 200,000 at most. After all, it was just a 1-star card, not a copyright purchase. He could make many more Lin Daiyu in the future...
It's a bit scary that the initial level 1 card is sold for 660,000.
Maybe several guilds were competing to raise the price, and ended up messing up the deal?
Xie Mingzhe didn't listen to the subsequent auction, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to how much other cards were sold for.
He waited anxiously for the auction to end. Fortunately, there were no cards made by famous designers in the market today. Instead, his first-level card was sold at the highest price. At 8:20, the auction was over.
Xie Mingzhe excitedly came to the back office of the auction house and asked the NPC to withdraw the gold coins he could get.
However, as soon as he arrived at the backstage of the auction house, the NPC said: "The buyer of the Lin Daiyu card has left you a message, please check."
"Hello, Uncle Fatty. I have already paid the 10% commission from the auction house for you. I would like to purchase Daiyu cards in bulk from you. If you are willing to see me, please come to Qianlin Restaurant on the north side of the Peacock Star Domain Central Square to find me. See you there."
"..." Xie Mingzhe looked at the message in surprise.
The auction house will not disclose the information of the buyer and seller to avoid disputes. However, after the transaction, the buyer and seller can directly leave messages to each other through the system NPC. As for whether the other party will respond to you, it depends on the other party's mood.
How did this person know that his name was "Fat Uncle"? It was impossible to infer the name "Fat Uncle" from the "Yueban" logo. Could it be that he had known him for a long time? Xie Mingzhe was puzzled.
He never imagined that the person who took the photo of this card was Tang Muzhou!
In order to wait for him to show up, Tang Muzhou personally attended every auction and had been waiting for three whole days.
