Chen Ping looked at the information on the card and fell into deep thought.
【Name: Forced Purchase and Sale】
[Category: One-time Special Item Card]
【Quality: Legendary】
【Effect: Forced Purchase. You can force the purchase of goods {e.g., 1 gold coin can be used to force the purchase of goods worth 1000 gold coins} {Note: This can easily lead to problems}】
[Effect: Forced Sale. You can forcibly sell an item to someone else. For example, you can sell a white-quality item for the price of a legendary-quality item. Note: This can easily lead to problems.]
There was originally another discount card, but it was used during the final trial. Now this one is left. The card items are all rule-based abilities, which means that using them guarantees success.
Chen Ping felt that if he used this card, he would get beaten up, possibly badly, but it was also possible that nothing would happen.
Well, as the auction time ticks away, in just a few minutes this drop of Creation God's essence blood will go unsold. And if it goes unsold, we'll just have to wait for the next black market auction. I suppose everyone thinks the same way, right?
Chen Ping looked around. Anyone who could get into the third floor was at least a second-tier member, even if they weren't the highest-level members. They had 500,000 in overdraft credit available, but he hadn't even bought the God King's Path. It seemed that even with the overdraft, it wouldn't be enough.
Chen Ping counted the costs. If he were to bid properly, he would have to overspend a lot. But if he used this card, he would make a huge profit, judging from the effect of the item card.
Chen Ping wavered between forcing a sale and forcing a purchase, as the two methods had different effects. However, he felt that forcing a sale might be more suitable for the current situation. He decided to sell it to the black market for 2 million.
But Chen Ping looked at the backpack and personal space, and the price difference was too high. He was afraid he'd get beaten to death. What if he forced a purchase? Would it be much better if he offered 1 million Origin Gold Coins to buy it by force? He wasn't sure.
With time running out, others might already be thinking about how to raise money for the next round, while Chen Ping was still considering whether or not to make a move.
......
With only 60 seconds left on the auction countdown, Lilisa genuinely believed that the drop of Creator God's blood might fail to sell. However, at the very last moment, an unexpected bid shattered the silence.
"3...2..." Just as Lilysa was about to announce that the auction had failed, suddenly, the numbers on the electronic screen started jumping, displaying a new bid—"200,000 Origin Gold Coins," and the transaction was confirmed instantly!
"???!!!" Lilisa's eyes widened, completely unable to believe what she was seeing. The Creator God's essence blood, which she thought was about to go unsold, had actually been sold at the last minute for a price far below the starting bid. This dramatic turn of events left everyone speechless and buzzing with discussion. Lilisa quickly composed herself and announced this unexpected result in a surprised yet professional voice.
"Wait...wait a minute, isn't there a missing zero?"
Lilisa murmured to herself, looking at the prices on the list, "Huh? Five figures? What's going on?"
2 million Origin Gold Coins became 200,000 Origin Gold Coins? What happened? That's a whole 1.8 million Origin Gold Coins gone! And that's not Ancient Gold Coins, nor Gold Coins, but the most valuable Origin Gold Coins!
Lilysa was initially confused and bewildered, but after she came to her senses...
w(?Д?)w，ε＝ε＝ε＝(#＞д＜)?
Lilisa initially ran around the auction stage in a daze before crying out in a sweet voice, "Lord Black General! Something's happened! There's been an accident!!!"
Not only did Lilisa start to panic, but the hall below also descended into chaos. It was clearly deliberate, and now everyone was obviously a suspect. The more they thought about it, the more confused they became. Who would have thought that someone would dare to make trouble in the black market? Wasn't that just courting death?
You know, the black market is officially run; no one has ever dared to cause trouble there. Damn, this was the first time anyone had encountered something like this, and it was understandable that some people were a little flustered.
Lilisa quickly composed herself, knowing she needed to remain calm to restore order as soon as possible. Therefore, she decisively ordered the auction hall's entrances and exits sealed off to ensure no one could leave before the truth was revealed. This action calmed the previously agitated hall somewhat.
Immediately afterward, Lilysa contacted Commander Black through the internal communication system and reported the anomalies that had occurred during the auction in detail. She firmly believed that as long as Commander Black intervened, whether it was a technical malfunction or human sabotage, it could be properly resolved.
At the same time, she addressed all the guests in a calm and firm voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm. We have taken measures to prevent anyone who may be involved in this incident from leaving. Please trust that the black market has strict management systems and fair handling procedures. We will find out the truth as soon as possible and give you a satisfactory answer. In the meantime, please be patient and wait; everything will return to normal."
After Lilisa's reassurance, the chaos in the hall gradually subsided, and everyone held their breath, waiting to see how the black market would resolve this sudden crisis.
Indeed, the whereabouts of the Creator God's essence blood was undoubtedly a question in the minds of everyone present. Such a precious and revolutionary existence was a coveted treasure even for those who had already reached the God-King realm. Because the true identities of participants in the black market were often strictly kept secret, tracking down the specific information of the winner of the 200,000 Origin Gold Coins became extremely difficult under these circumstances.
However, whoever ultimately obtains this drop of the Creator God's essence will likely have a profound impact on the entire advanced sea area and even a wider region. On one hand, the holder may gain a significant boost in power, altering the current power structure; on the other hand, the appearance of such a treasure will inevitably provoke competition and covetousness from various forces, leading to a series of upheavals and conflicts.
Following the auction, in an effort to quell the conflict or seek a new balance, the high-level seas are highly likely to experience unprecedented turmoil. Various factions will employ diverse methods to uncover the truth, vie for resources, and potentially even trigger large-scale warfare.
A black light suddenly appeared on the auction stage, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.
Lilysa: "General Black! You've arrived."
