Chapter 618: Chapter 29 In the Auction House

While announcing the scores in the group chat, Long Xingtianxia decisively gave a speech.

"Everyone, we indeed gained a lot from this battle, but compared to the loot dropped by the White Dragon, I guess it’s not much. The White Dragon is at death’s door, and all our hard work defeating the Azure Dragon Association was for the purpose of dragon slaying to build our nation, wasn’t it?

I know everyone is satisfied with their haul and doesn’t feel like fighting anymore, but to truly secure the fruits of our victory, we must fight tomorrow, and we must succeed.

Only in this way can we build our nation. Once we’ve established our nation, we can legitimately expand our territory. By then, if Dragon Soaring unifies the Nine States, you will all be meritorious contributors, and of course, there will be benefits for heroes.

Only by unifying the Nine States can we enact divine enshrinement for those brothers who died in battle.

So even for the sake of our fallen comrades, we must win.

Prepare well today, and tomorrow we will start the dragon-slaying as planned.

If anyone really doesn’t want to participate, that’s fine, but your previously acquired points will be reset to zero. After all, these points are specially calculated for this dragon-slaying mission and won’t be added to the scores of your respective sub-guild teams.

If you don’t participate even in the dragon-slaying action, you definitely won’t get any points."

What Long Xingtianxia said indeed occupied the moral high ground.

People couldn’t help but think deeply; yes, today’s gains were enormous, but there were many casualties, several dozen people died, including friends and acquaintances.

Even now, many of the deceased are still listening to the news in the group chat.

If we can’t establish a nation, these people might have died for nothing.

And this dragon-slaying score, although it seems to be just limited to the dividends of this one action, is essentially proof of service. If you have never participated in the battle to establish the nation, why would you deserve any benefits or important roles once Dragon Soaring develops?

As the saying goes, true gold is tested through fire. Only after today’s great battle with the Azure Dragon Association and the dragon-slaying battle tomorrow, through the trials of these two major fights, can we find truly reliable comrades and battle buddies among the players.

Those who can go through the whole event and make significant contributions will definitely be prioritized for cultivation and promotion. Future chairpersons of various sub-guilds in Beiming State might well be selected from among them.

If you fight through the whole event but don’t achieve any significant deed, at least you’ll still be considered a senior member. At the very least, you’ll have access to the benefits of a veteran player in the future. Should you achieve divine enshrinement one day, there will surely be a spot for you. At least if you die, there is something to look forward to.

But if you go offline and ask for leave when the battle starts, then you might as well be an ordinary member of the Outer Circle. Like those who asked for leave and went offline today, there’s no doubt they’ll be alienated from Dragon Soaring’s core circle in the future; they can forget about any good opportunities coming their way.

Long Xingtianxia didn’t put it so bluntly, but most people could still understand the hints both overt and covert.

"Don’t worry, Chairman, we won’t chicken out."

"Exactly, we all came here to slay the dragon! We’ll definitely fight!"

"We’ll all be there tomorrow, anyone who’s absent is a coward!"

There was an enthusiastic response in the group chat, which also relieved Long Xingtianxia.

Morale is indeed useful.

"Good, tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock, let’s gather at Qiansong Town! For now, everyone disperse and prepare well. I still need to arrange the affairs for the brothers who died in battle..."

After arranging tomorrow’s activities, Longteng Sihai was a bit worried, "Chairman, will the people from the Pantheon...?"

"Humph, we put so much effort into defeating the Azure Dragon Association, we cannot let others snatch our victory fruits. If they dare to come, we’ll wipe them out too.

Just in case, notify our brother departments as a precaution."

This time, we specifically brought in people from our brother departments to provide backup. If the Pantheon really dares to come, even if Dragon Soaring cannot handle it, we can still join forces with our brother departments to deal with them.

"Jiuxiao Huanpei, you really helped us out yesterday. Rest assured, I have recorded your score. After the dragon slaying, naturally, you will get your reward."

Jiuxiao Huanpei killed Ah Gui and picked up a lot of good stuff, but naturally, she also had her eye on the dragon slaying loot.

"Hehe, Chairman Long, you’re too kind, since I accepted the organization’s mission, naturally I will participate tomorrow..."

————————

Without delving into the Dragon Soaring Guild’s planning for the dragon-slaying operation, at this moment, Xiao Jie has logged out of the game.

Although there are still many things to be sorted out in the game, such as selling the Equipment and items dropped by Liu Qiang that are not suitable to exchange for money.

With money, it’s natural to buy more Demon Art manuals and Monster Inner Cores to enhance strength. Now with this set of top-grade Magic Equipment, he can also try out the Spell profession.

But right now, all he wants is quiet.

Sitting on the chair, looking around the empty room, and at the computer that Han Luo used, Xiao Jie is filled with emotions.

The scene of Han Luo’s death is still fresh in his mind.

Several months into the game, Han Luo’s vengeance has finally been avenged, and the sense of crisis hanging over his head has completely dissipated. Liu Qiang is dead, and this feud has finally come to a satisfactory conclusion.

At this moment, Xiao Jie feels as if he has lifted a heavy burden, feeling at ease.

He can now play the game light-heartedly.

Although there is still the great enemy, Master Hongchen, and the ambition of achieving immortality to be fulfilled.

But these objectives offer more leeway in terms of time, at least he doesn’t need to rush for rapid strength improvement desperately against time like before.

Thinking of all this, Xiao Jie’s thoughts inevitably began to wander.

Maybe after this battle for nation establishment, he should visit Han Luo’s grave to convey the good news—where does Han Luo’s family live, anyway?

After reflecting for a good while, Xiao Jie returned from his melancholic reminiscence back to reality.

His gaze locked onto the "Old Soil" game icon on the computer screen once again.

Xiao Jie’s fighting spirit reignited.

Don’t rush to think about these things, there’s still a dragon to slay tomorrow, and he has never fought a dragon before.

Although the White Dragon is on the brink of death with heavy injuries, it is still a dragon after all, and a tough battle is inevitable.

If he wants to get the Dragon Ball, he’ll need to perform well.

Luckily, the profit this time is huge, as long as he can assimilate the spoils, his strength can still greatly increase.

Impatient to go back, Xiao Jie re-entered the game, opened his inventory, and began tallying the loot.

Sorting the spoils into categories, keeping what can be used, and selling what can’t be used for money, is natural.

Currently, he has over 500 taels of silver in his bag, most of which burst out from Liu Qiang.

There are even a dozen or more pieces of excess equipment.

Xiao Jie planned to select the best for each part to make a complete set. The rest, naturally, would all be sold for money.

After comparing and picking, he quickly decided on the equipment he would use.

Weapon: Xuanming Sword (Epic).

Helmet: Asura Ghost Mask (Epic).

Armor: Five Elements Dominance Robe (Epic).

Pants: Eight Desolate Barrier (Epic).

Gloves: Magic Controller Gloves (Epic).

Boots: Gale Boots (Top-Grade).

Protective Bracelet: Dragon Scale Bracelets (Top-Grade).

Necklace: Spiritual Spring Treasure Pearl (Epic).

Rings: Spiritual Jade Ring (Top-Grade), Moral Ring (Excellent).

Ornaments: Five-colored Stone (Legendary), Divine Wood Talisman (Excellent).

It must be said that Liu Qiang’s equipment is truly luxurious, most of Xiao Jie’s gear has been replaced.

Now his entire set of equipment is either Epic or Top-Grade, which can truly be called luxurious.

Except for the Mystic Gold Dragon Patterned Black Robe that Xiao Jie is somewhat reluctant to let go of and plans to keep for alternate use, the rest of the equipment he plans to sell.

Xiao Jie headed straight for the auction house.

On the way, he ran into "I Want to Be Immortal," who seemed to be heading to the auction house as well.

"Cheng Xian, you’re also going to the auction house? Wow, that armor looks cool on you!"

At this moment, "I Want to Be Immortal" was wearing a golden armor, shimmering with every fold, donned a Phoenix Wing Helmet, looking majestic, and carrying the Furious Sea Tide, an Epic weapon as well. This set of equipment was considerably remarkable.

"Is that the one from Zhao Kai (Divine Weapon Descending)?"

"Yes, that Divine General dropped a whole bunch of equipment, and I set my eyes on this armor from the start. There was a Mountain Splitter who tried to contest with me for it, but I immediately used my Demon Capturing Hand and snatched it into my bag... There was also an orange glow at that time, but it was too far from me and was picked up by Dragon Control."

Xiao Jie thought to himself that indeed, going to war was truly a way to get rich, with Legendary drops one after another; he wondered what kind of Legendary equipment that guy had burst out.

"Not bad at all, it suits your profession." Yellow Turban Warriors wearing Golden Treasure Armor indeed complement each other well.

The two quickly arrived at the auction house.

As soon as he entered the auction house, Xiao Jie was startled; there were nearly a hundred people crammed in here, filling up almost the entire hall, with a group of Dragon Soaring players surrounding each auctioneer.

This is—well, it seems everyone has a lot of stuff to sell.

He wasn’t in a hurry since there was plenty of time; just waiting it out was enough, while "I Want to Be Immortal" didn’t waste words and directly squeezed into the crowd.

As Xiao Jie was figuring out which auctioneer had an opening, his eyes suddenly glanced over and saw a familiar face—Jin Fugui? What brought this guy to Beiming State?

Jin Fugui also noticed Xiao Jie, approaching him enthusiastically.

"Oh, Brother Sui Feng, are you also here to sell equipment?"

"Yes, what brought you here?"

Jin Fugui laughed and said: "Hahaha, the big battle between your guild and the Azure Dragon Association is now hugely viral across the game; who doesn’t know the Azure Dragon Association was slaughtered by you guys, along with those several alliance guilds, causing countless deaths and injuries, the video was even posted online.

I figured there must be a massive amount of equipment to deal with given so many deaths, so here I am.

Putting it in the auction house you’d have to pay a commission fee, and it might not even sell, better to let me handle it for you, I guarantee to give you a fair price.

Oh right, Brother Sui Feng, you’re so strong; you must have had a full harvest this battle, right? Have any equipment you want to let go of?"

Xiao Jie thought it might actually be a good idea, although Jin Fugui as a middleman would certainly make a cut, but the auction house charges a 20% commission fee as well.

Moreover, it sells rather slowly; if he could get rid of everything in one go, with money in hand, it would be the perfect time to strengthen a few Demon Art Skills.
