<h4>Chapter 118 - Auction (final)</h4>
Everyone in VIP room 2 were rejoicing about the idiotic purchases made by the Elite''s.
In their estimation , the highest funds the Elites could have umted would be 25-28 million gold.
With 22 million gold aldready spent by them the alliance estimated that they could at max bid for one item of the four left , and that they could grab the other three easily.
Scorpio was in an especially good mood now , as he was prepared to squeeze out max money for a single item from the Elites.
He nned on pushing the prices up to 7 or 8 million to rout the Elites in the next item itself.
The next four items were the most valuable of the entire auction lot from a guild perspective , wether it was the two blueprints or the two Hazelgroove special items , they were all sure to have a huge impact on the overall guild dynamic and future ns.
The next item was brought up for auction
[ Blueprint ] ( Reinforced brick ) : A blueprint for Reinforced concrete bricks , makes a structure extremely strong.
Initial bidding price: 5 million gold .
Minimum increment : 250K gold
Buyout price : no buyout price
This item was pure gold, and Rudra knew it , it was a must have item even for the remaining 30 million gold he had left ... This item was worth it all
Why?
Because he knew each brick sold to the kingdom itself at 500 gold , costing 200 gold to make , one could earn 300 gold per brick. Usually construction orders came for about 30 - 50 K bricks at a time , meaning the guild would earn millions on fulfilling each order.
Other than that , after the fourth update and the kingdom expansion pack , where guilds would take over kingdoms , the reincforced bricks would make the strongest forts and strongholds bricks could make.
Golden investment.with huge returns both short term and longterm. Rudra would absolutely not let this item slip.
Bidding the initial 5 million , Rudra got the ball rolling.
On the other side , Scorpio just gave a sly smile , ''lets see how much money u got'' . He thought as he bid 6 million .
7 million. Came the response from Rudra''s side.
The audience was aldready exasperated at the huge pools of gold being showered by the guilds.?The increments they were talking about was in millions .... Millions in good! At the current conversion rate of 435 dors to one gold coin. That was 435 million dors being tossed around as raises for items.
Insane , truly insane !
8 million , came the counter from Scorpio.
He felt ufortable making this bid , he was not sure if the elite''s would make a higher bid , soo he was holding his breath here.
But 9 million , came the sound from VIP1 as he breathed a sigh of releif.
'' Thats it ,they are out of the game '' he thought
9 million goes once.
9 million gold goes twice .
It gets sold at 9 million gold to the Elites.
The entire audience pped at the win of this bid , it was truly exhrating to watch these two titans go at it.
For those keeping tabs the VIP1 had spent 31 million gold in this auction upto this point. It was an absolutely astronomical amount , but most expected this to be theirst bid , and that they were out.
Even inside the alliance room , hugs were exchanged as they were sure about winning thest 3 items without opposition.
The next item was brought up to bid
[ Blueprint ] ( fishing rod ) : A blueprint to create a device that catch fishes and other ocean mounts.
Initial price : 5 million gold
Minimum increment : 250K
Buyout price: no Buyout price.
Now this was a item , Rudra was not really interested in , however he knew that after the third update ocean expansion pack would be open , and the guilds would battle out for ocean supremacy , those having ocean mounts would benefit greatly in that race.
However with Karna bringing back the amazing pirate ship , he was still okay to let this item go .
5 million came scorpio'' s voice from VIP1
He was almost sure that 5 million would be thest ever bid ced.
But much to his dismay .... There was almost immediately a second voice.
6 million ! , Came the voice from VIP1
Everyone round the auction house looked at each other in shock ..... 31 million aldready spent , yet they still had 6 million left??Ridiculous.
Scorpio wanted to pull his hair out ... Just how damn Rich were the Elites?
7 million , he said gritting his teeth ..... That left only a little over 3.5 million gold for them ,pletely crushing their future ns to aquire other items.
The alliance immediately went into panick mode, trying to raise another 3 million or so in capital for uing items.
Yet to their dismay 8 million came the call from VIP 1.
8 was Rudra''s limit for the item , but little did he know that his simple bid of 8 million hadpletely crushed the other party''s world view.
For the first time since the auction started , just because he couldnt stand it , scorpio made a 9 million bid , without consulting other members.
Yua was instantly furious .... The item was not worth 9 million , scorpio went overboard. Except Ilovesmashing , every other guild leader expressed their dissatisfaction to this decision.
Much to their dismay
Vip 1 did not bid 10 million
9 million went once.
9 million went twice .
It was sold at 9 million to the alliance.
Yes , they only had 1.5 million gold left now , probably out of the race for the kingdom special items!
The members frantically tried to arrange for funds , as it was a race against time now.
The fairy congratted VIP2 on winning the item when she introduced thest segment the kingdom special items to bid for.
Hazelgroove special items :-
[ Red jewel ] ( quest item ) :- an item wanted by crown prince Aman .
Chances of rewards upon delivering.
Initial bidding price : 4 million gold
Minimum increment : 200K gold
No buyout price!
The item was introduced , and everyone expected VIP1 or 2 to bid for it .... But 3 minutes passed and no bid was made .
The second rate guilds went crazy as 3 of the biggest ones allied on the spot to try pool their resources , barely making the initial 4 million bid.
Their dreams came true when , 4 million gold went once.
4 million gold went twice.
And it was sold at 4 million gold!
It was crazy! The second rate guilds could not contain their joy .
The atmosphere inside the alliance was not soo joyous though , as the seven guilds put many things as coteral immediately to raise about 8 million gold pool total .
They finally had 9.5 million gold to bid for thest item.
Although it was not the oue that they wanted , it was truly unfortunate that they could not raise mobey in time to win the red jewel .
Finally thest item was brought up for auction
[ Gold chalice ] : being sought after by a mysterious faction.
Initial price 5 million gold
Minimum increment of 250 K gold
No buyout price.
to their dismay VIP 1 bid 5 million for the item .
Scorpio countered at 6
Rudra raised it to 7
When scorpio countered at 7.5
Rudra raised it to 8.5
Scorpio countered at 9
Rudra countered at 10!
The alliance members were stunned silent , 7 first rate guilds.?The absolutely biggest guilds with the best backing?had lost bidding to a solo guild of 50 members called the True Elites for the entire day!
How rich were the Elites to have soo much gold left to bid?
Even after selling their assets as coteral they would still loose the bid for an item?
This was uneptable . They refused to beleive they were soo marily inferior to the Elite''s.
However what could be done , wether they wanted or not
10 million went once.
It went twice
And it was sold to the Elites for 10 MILLION GOLD!
The audience pped in mad appreciation of the tycoon in VIP1 , as Rudra was happy to end the auction with a lot of money still at hand.
Seven of thest 10 items hadnded in their hands , it was an absolutely amazing show of strength.
Spections had been running wild on the forums over who was VIP1 and who was VIP2?, well there was only the alliance and the elite''s however most assumed VIP 1 to be the alliance , as they were 7 top?guilds together.
However were they in for a surprise.....
All in all it had been a fruitfull event.
