On the topic of Annan, this region was also within Ouyang Shuo's strategic attack range.
"Why not, let's use this chance as a warm up!"
Ouyang Shuo kept this matter in mind, as he quickly walked toward the auction house. Just as he walked toward the main door, he bumped into Chun Shenjun.
"Oh, is it not Lord Wuyi?"
After eating numerous successive defeats at the hands of Ouyang Shuo, Chun Shenjun could not treat Ouyang Shuo with a false sense of courtesy anymore.
"Yes, it's me!" Ouyang Shuo was exceedingly calm.
"You are definitely going to show off your strength again during this auction, right?" Chun Shenjun winked, "Speaking of which, you're famous for buying out the auction!"
His words were true. After all, during the last two system auctions, Ouyang Shuo had used his gold advantage to buy up nearly half of the items.
Of course, when these words came from Chun Shenjun's mouth, they contained a different meaning.
Ouyang Shuo smiled. Obviously, he saw through Chun Shenjun's intentions, "It won’t happen this time. I'm here to watch the battle. I think I'll be able to witness the glory of the richest tycoon in China."
"Hen, glad you know your place," Chun Shenjun said.
"Well said, someone has finally opened you up to your real place!"
Suddenly, a player behind Chun Shenjun spoke up.
When Ouyang Shuo heard these words, his eyes turned cold.
"Haha, just joking, just joking!"
Although the fellow said that he was joking, his face showed his undeniable mocking intent.
Ouyang Shuo naturally would not bother with these useless people, so he said to Chun Shenjun, “Then let me congratulate you in advance. I hope you can get what you invested this time and not end up empty handed again."
When Chun Shenjun heard this jibe, his face instantly turned black.
Obviously, his family had used the one time achievement value exchange opportunity to gather a huge sum of gold; they were willing to go all in.
Chun Shenjun had an immense amount of pressure on his shoulders.
This auction was a sign of things to come.
During the last two auctions, Chun Shenjun had obtained insider information, and he had also prepared enough funds. However, time after time, Ouyang Shuo had messed up his plans. Naturally, he was filled with hatred toward Ouyang Shuo.
Meeting him at the door, Chen Shenjun naturally wanted to mock him.
However, Ouyang Shuo saw through his intentions and did not bother, directly walking into the auction house.
Looking at his back view, the teasing smile on Chun Shenjun's face disappeared, and only seriousness remained. It was obvious that his show had failed.
"Don’t tell me that guy has some secret funds?"
Having such thoughts, Chun Shenjun followed him into the auction house.
Before this auction even began, rivalries had already begun to take off.
"Wuyi, over here!"
Bai Hua had entered the auction house earlier than him, and she called out to Ouyang Shuo.
During every auction, the members of the Shanhai Alliance would gather together. This had already become a tradition.
Such a power like the Shanhai Alliance was something that even the Jingdou Auction House did not dare to offend. Hence, the number 1 suite on the 2nd floor was left for them.
Bai Hua's shout instantly alerted the entire auction house. In contrast to the previous years, a portion of the players did not look at Ouyang Shuo with fear. Instead, their eyes contained an eagerness to challenge him.
It was obvious that the achievement value exchange Gaia had pushed out was extremely popular. After all, such an event would only happen once. It seems like there was a relatively large portion of the players that had decided to go and try their luck.
Of course, a single person was not terrifying. However, an entire guild or a huge family was worthy of fear.
These groups had many members. As long as a person exchanged for one to two thousand gold, the guild or huge family could accumulate an enormous sea of funds.
Lin Jing had revealed to Ouyang Shuo that the War-Snow Rose Mercenary Group had gathered up a few million gold. There was also a large number of members that kept some funds in their own hands.
When Ouyang Shuo heard this news, his head swelled up.
In comparison, Shanhai City was a poor egg.
Of course, no one would spend all the gold that they had exchanged for all at once.
If not, they would just be drinking poison to quench their thirst.
An economist with a little knowledge would know the kind of detrimental effect an enormous amount of funds would have if they suddenly flowed into the market.
If that was the case, the gold that they had risked so much to exchange for would depreciate by ten times.
No one would be such a fool.
Normally speaking, players would store up the gold and use it over a few years.
Everyone knew that as the game went on, the amount of funds needed would turn into a huge sum. During the 1st year, Ouyang Shuo had one hundred gold and was considered rich. Now, everyone had hundreds of thousands of gold in their hands.
After all, as the production of the game gold increased, a certain amount of inflation would occur. Moreover, as the rank and grade of the items grew higher and rarer, they would naturally be more expensive.
This news caused a light bulb to light up in Ouyang Shuo’s mind.
Obviously, Ouyang Shuo had picked up a business idea during this limited time exchange.
If he could attract the players to place their funds into the Four Seas Bank, this could be a huge opportunity for the bank.
For this matter, Ouyang Shuo had especially looked for Treasurer Meng Zhida to discuss.
As for the specific evaluation, Meng Zhida had already started working on it.
……
When Ouyang Shuo walked into the suite, everyone had basically gathered.
It seems like he had used a lot of time strolling around.
After a short while, the auction officially began.
In contrast to last year, this auction did not have any warm up auctions. Instead, it went right to the ten items. Evidently, Gaia knew that many millionaires had joined this event.
Their eyes would naturally be locked onto the ten best items. As for normal items, there were many that were auctioned off in the monthly auctions, and they did not need to waste their time at such an event.
Same as the previous years, the top auctioneer of the auction house walked up confidently. Ten beauties formed up in a line behind him. Each one of them held a tray covered with a red cloth.
After a simple introduction, the auction immediately began.
"Now, let's auction the first item." The auctioneer laughed.
The first beauty walked up and pulled away the cloth, revealing a sword.
"This is one of the ten famous swords, the Taia Sword. The Sword of Might, it is ranked 4th on the list. The bottom price is 53 thousand gold, and there is no buyout price. Please make your bids." The auctioneer introduced.
The moment his words ended, the whole place was thrown into an uproar.
Gaia was determined to let all the players have a huge fight, actually not setting a buyout price. This also meant that there was no upper limit to the price.
Even Ouyang Shuo did not expect Gaia to pull such a move. Just the starting item was a god weapon.
The atmosphere started to boil up in excitement.
All the people were delighted and eager, determined to obtain this first item.
