It was a pet egg emitting a faint blue light, with strange patterns on its surface, as if telling a secret unknown to anyone.
Wang Fan's heart stirred; his intuition told him that this pet egg was anything but ordinary.
He eagerly opened the system introduction, which read: "A certain type of aquatic pet, with great potential after hatching, can become your powerful assistant."
After seeing the system's description, Wang Fan's desire for the pet egg only intensified.
At this moment, he was worried about not having any money to spend, and he thought that if he could get such a pet with great potential to help him, his strength would definitely reach a new level.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the auction house was extremely lively, with everyone frantically vying for the mysterious pet egg.
Players revealed their cards one after another, bidding higher and higher.
All I could hear was the system continuously notifying me of new bids.
"Player *** has bid 500 gold coins!"
"Player *** has bid 600 gold coins!"
"Player *** has bid 1,000 gold coins!"
"Player *** has bid 1,500 gold coins!"
"Player *** has bid two thousand gold coins!"
……………
Just as Wang Fan was checking it, the bidding for the pet egg in the auction house became increasingly fierce, and the price soared.
Seeing this, Wang Fan no longer hesitated and joined the bidding.
As soon as he joined the auction, Wang Fan was instantly teleported to the platform provided by the system.
This platform seems to exist outside of time and space, surrounded by a vast starry sky, with dazzling stars twinkling with mysterious light.
Beneath my feet was a transparent, crystalline ground, within which I could vaguely see complex runes and flowing energy.
At the very center of the platform was a huge circular auction table, emitting a soft glow, above which floated the enticing pet egg.
At the edge of the auction platform stood several tall statues, their faces blurred, yet exuding an aura of majesty.
A faint, mysterious power permeated the air around the platform, making people feel both excited and nervous.
Wang Fan stood there, secretly marveling.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This system is pretty good. I felt an urge to buy it as soon as I logged in."
Just then, the system notification sounded again.
"Player *** has bid 2,500 gold coins!"
"Player *** has bid 2,600 gold coins!"
"Player *** has bid three thousand gold coins!"
"Player *** has bid 3,500 gold coins!"
"Player *** has bid four thousand gold coins!"
……………
Seeing these bids, Wang Fan felt a chill; he hadn't expected the other players to be so wealthy.
I originally thought that, based on the normal ways of obtaining gold coins, everyone wouldn't have much money.
But upon closer reflection, these players who offered such generous bids...
They may be representatives of an alliance or a powerful force, backed by ample resources and wealth.
Just then, an offer from an old acquaintance startled Wang Fan; it was Ling Yun.
Moreover, he was even more arrogant, not hiding his name at all and directly making his bid.
"Player Lingyun bids 10,000 gold coins!"
Most people were taken aback when they saw his offer.
Most people chose to back down, with only a few persisting in the bidding.
Speaking of Lingyun, he's been riding high lately.
Since the last time, when Wang Fan casually helped Ling Yun by eliminating the Black Wind Alliance.
After Ling Yun returned, he took the opportunity to absorb the Black Wind Alliance's resources.
Then, using the resources they had seized from the Black Wind Alliance, they began to recruit talent on a large scale.
He used his abundant treasures and precious resources as bait to attract a large number of powerful individuals to join him.
His power expanded rapidly in a short period of time.
With the addition of these newly recruited powerhouses, Lingyun's alliance has seen a significant boost in strength.
They've made great strides and are now among the top teams in the league rankings.
Meanwhile, the others were still fighting over the blue pet egg.
One of the players bid, "15,000 gold coins!"
The other players were equally determined.
"Twenty thousand gold coins!"
"Twenty-five thousand gold coins!"
Thirty thousand gold coins!
……………
Just as the price was soaring, Ling Yun made a direct bid: "Fifty thousand gold coins!"
The moment the high price was announced, the scene fell silent.
Many people were shocked by this number and shook their heads in disbelief.
At this point, only three people remained to continue bidding, including Wang Fan.
Seeing that Ling Yun and the other two were not backing down either, the competition became increasingly fierce, and they even began to use their status to exert pressure.
Wang Fan simply stopped and watched their performance.
One of them arrogantly said, "I am the leader of Qingfeng Pavilion. I am determined to get this pet egg. You'd better back down!"
His words revealed a strong sense of confidence and domineering, as if the pet egg was already his for the taking.
Based on his status as the leader of Qingfeng Pavilion, he believed that everyone else should give way.
Ling Yun snorted coldly: "Hmph, don't think that your status as the alliance leader can scare me. I, Ling Yun, have never been afraid of anyone."
Ling Yun showed no weakness and paid no attention to the intimidation posed by the leader of Qingfeng Pavilion.
In fact, the two of them didn't get along at all, and they were always vying for a spot on the league rankings.
The leader of Qingfeng Pavilion occupies a top position on the leaderboard thanks to the formidable strength of his alliance.
Ling Yun, relying on the resources of the Black Wind Alliance, repeatedly tried to seize the throne of Qingfeng Pavilion. The two sides refused to give way to each other, thus creating a lot of enmity between them.
The bidding for the pet egg brought the competition between the two to a fever pitch.
The scene became very intense, no longer just about getting the pet egg, but also about each other's dignity.
The leader of Qingfeng Pavilion glared angrily and shouted, "I'll add another ten thousand gold coins. Anyone who dares to bid against me will be an enemy of Qingfeng Pavilion!"
Ling Yun sneered, "Seventy thousand gold coins! Go ahead and continue if you dare!"
The two were at each other's throats, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Wang Fan watched from the side, muttering to himself.
"If you're going to argue, then argue! But why drive the price up so high?"
Just then, the leader of Qingfeng Pavilion revealed a fierce glint in his eyes and threatened Ling Yun, saying, "Ling Yun, if you still don't know what's good for you, I'll make you regret it once you leave this auction house! You should know what Qingfeng Pavilion is capable of!"
Ling Yun, however, was not afraid at all. He threw his head back and laughed loudly, "Haha, you think I'm afraid of you? If you have the guts, come at me now! Don't just bluff!"
The leader of Qingfeng Pavilion, his face ashen, gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, fine, Ling Yun, you've got guts. I don't want this pet egg anymore, but our grudge..." With that, he glared fiercely at Ling Yun and exited the auction platform.
Seeing this, Wang Fan couldn't help but sigh, "Ling Yun is really bold, but so high-profile..."
Ling Yun then said to Wang Fan, "Brother, if you give me this pet egg, we'll be friends from now on. Otherwise, we'll have to settle this with our skills."
Upon hearing Ling Yun's slightly threatening words, Wang Fan sneered.
Because Wang Fan concealed his identity, Ling Yun did not know that the person in front of him was Wang Fan, who had helped him before.
