After wandering around the mansion, it was truly luxurious and comfortable, surpassing those so-called three-star hotels.
Resting on a bamboo chair in the living room, I messaged my little sister and Li Tong. They were still lingering in the novice village. I couldn't believe it. The outside world is so much better than that dull place. There's nothing exciting in the novice village.
After taking a break, I found the huge mansion to be empty and uninteresting. I decided to go out and play. It would be lively when Li Tong and my little sister arrived at Stone City. I'll show them what I'm capable of.
"Auction House of Old Wine."
This was an auction house run by a player named Old Wine. The location was excellent, and although the store wasn't large, the decoration and design were very refined. It looked good, and there were quite a few players inside.
Currently, only three players in "King of Glory" had established auction houses. These were the Business Alliance Auction House, the Money Auction House, and the Auction House of Old Wine.
To increase player interaction, the system's auction house was closed after players established their own auction houses. However, the system would charge a two percent commission for each auction item. As a result, these three auction houses in "King of Glory" held a monopoly.
In "King of Glory," players could set up a small stall in the City South Trading Center in Stone City for a fee of one hundred gold coins. The stall had a five-square-meter area and could only be opened for five hours at a time.
Furthermore, players could purchase shops with gold coins and become merchants, buying and selling items or auctioning them off like real-life stores.
However, purchasing a shop required five million gold coins, and the price increased based on the location and size of the property. Additionally, players had to pay a monthly fee. Since "King of Glory" had just started running and the money exchange system had not yet been opened, players had no ability to purchase shops.
Under these circumstances, although opening a small stall was easy, it was crowded and disorganized, with a wide variety of items. This was particularly unsuitable for players who were buying or selling high-level equipment, and it seriously affected player transactions.
Players with high-level equipment couldn't find suitable buyers and couldn't sell their equipment. Players who needed equipment couldn't find suitable items and couldn't buy them. This caused a strong protest among players, and the forum exploded into chaos.
Under the pressure of players, the Dragon Flight Group finally agreed that players could take out loans to purchase shops.
In real life, players could get a loan of five million gold coins in "King of Glory" by verifying their identity and demonstrating their ability. However, these five million gold coins could only be used to purchase a shop and nothing else. Once the money exchange system was open, players had to repay ten million gold coins within ten days.
Upon the release of this news, it immediately triggered a wave of curses and rebellion among players, who all felt that Dragonfly Group was too corrupt. Before players could react, the Commercial Alliance Auction House and the Money Auction House in the system quickly opened up to buy and auction items, leaving players speechless. As always, the wealthy are the ones who bask in the spotlight.
For those ambitious fellows, such a good opportunity will certainly not be wasted. The top three shops in the game will receive broadcast promotion from the system, and even fools know that the earlier the shop opens, the more famous it becomes, and the more helpful it is for future development.
The key point, as of now, is that there are not many people who can purchase shops with expensive loans. Therefore, until the money exchange system is open, their shops will certainly enjoy a monopoly, which is such a huge advantage.
If one is not willing to risk, one will not get a reward.
Those shrewd businessmen always seize the opportunity. Just look at how large the market for "King of Glory" is, with limitless prospects for development. Moreover, for some wealthy people, is one million yuan still considered money? (In the money exchange system, 10 gold coins can be exchanged for 1 yuan.)
The Old Wine Auction House is the third established auction house, completed by an ordinary player who accidentally completed a hidden task and received the reward.
A simple player has undergone such a huge change because of a task, which makes players even more crazy about hidden tasks.
The Commercial Alliance Auction House and the Money Auction House have strong backing. It is said that the boss of the Commercial Alliance is the number one moneylender in the world, while the boss of the Money Auction House is Wo Ai Jin Bi a well-known figure in the Wealth Alliance, who not only has a strong reputation, but also has substantial financial and human support. Establishing a gang is an inevitable trend.
I do not want any connection with gangs. If I go to the Commercial Alliance Auction House and the Money Auction House, as soon as I take out the equipment I want to auction, my identity will be exposed and it will be difficult to be as free as I am now. I will probably become their target for recruitment.
The Old Wine Auction House is only established by an ordinary player, Old Wine, who has no influence and is not a big shot. It is precisely because of this that I came to the Old Wine Auction House, planning to let Old Wine help me auction off the excellent equipment I have obtained during this time, so that I can make money silently and easily continue playing the game.
"Hello, can I help you with anything?"
Upon entering the Old Wine Auction House, the shop owner, Old Wine, asked me unexpectedly.
To my surprise, Old Wine is actually a man in his seventies who looks very kind, but also carries some authority. Overall, he gives people a good impression and can be trusted like a grandfather.
"Boss, can I talk to you for a moment? I have something to auction off."
I said to Old Wine, who had several players in his auction house.
"Oh. Very well."
"I wonder what this young man wants to auction?"
After entering the room behind the auction house with the old wine and taking a seat, the old wine asked me.
"Sir, I would like to auction an item. I don't know the rules of your auction house."
"The rules are simple. Based on your item, our auction house will set a reserve price and auction it accordingly. After a successful auction, our auction house will take ten percent of the auction price as commission, which includes two percent commission paid to the system. If it is a piece of equipment above gold quality, our auction house will provide you with two free promotions. If you want to expand the promotion, the cost will be borne by you."
Looking at me, the player with a strange rabbit mask still had a rather domineering tone, and it was unclear what he wanted to auction.
"I wonder if the identity of the owner of the auction item can be kept confidential?"
I didn't care much about the commission charged by the auction house. The three major auction houses were all similar, but the current business of Old Wine Auction House was relatively poor because the Commercial Alliance Auction House and the Gold Coin Auction House both wanted to become the number one auction house in "King of Glory" and competition was fierce, particularly in free promotions and many other discounts. Therefore, Old Wine Auction House, which lacked start-up capital, was now facing some difficulties.
"No problem. This is the basic principle of the auction house, so there won't be any issues. If you don't want to make it public, no one will know who the owner of the item is."
"Very well, boss, I trust you. My name is Stone City, and I want to auction this item."
After Old Wine finished speaking, I took out the "Gang Building Order" from my backpack and handed it over.
At the auction house, as long as the player selects the auction command with the store owner, the system will automatically protect the auction item. If the auction is successful, the system will automatically transfer the auction proceeds to the player's bank account. If the auction fails, the item will be returned to the player's backpack.
"Gang Building Order."
Old Wine was wondering what this player was going to auction. He was surprised that he was being so mysterious and cautious. When he received the dark iron piece from the player named Stone City, he was very curious about what it was. But when he held it in his hand and saw the three large characters flying on the iron piece, he couldn't help but exclaim, overwhelmed with shock.
