Chapter 107 - Two Dark Horses

"40 million gold coins. Hao Tian."

"Wow, that Hao Tian is so cool, too impressive!"

The auction price had been slowly climbing for five minutes, with only a slight increase. Although the continuously rising price made players feel incredible, it had not yet reached 35 million gold coins. Hao Tian, who was proud and wealthy, could not help but step in. He raised the auction price to 40 million gold coins in an instant, with the attitude of "buy if you have money, move aside if you don't."

The auction price surpassed 40 million gold coins, and Hao Tian's name was deeply remembered by everyone amidst the players' exclamations. Hao Tian was wealthy and powerful.

"Hao Tian's ZiLei gang is pretty good. You can join it, and the future prospects are promising," players began to discuss.

The bidding was divided into two types: anonymous bidding and public bidding. Hao Tian, who was arrogant, could not stand the players' tentative bids. Behind the bright red 40 million gold coins on the bidding screen was his name, and he openly sprinted towards the "Gang Building Order."

Instantly, Hao Tian's name spread throughout the arena, bringing him immense glory and bringing great fame to his ZiLei gang, which he did not expect.

"43 million gold coins. FengYun JinLong."

"45 million gold coins. TianHuo DaoYin."

"48 million gold coins. SanYe KuangFu."

Seeing the effect that Hao Tian had, the bosses of various gangs frowned, regretting that they had made their moves too late. Instantly, like an eruption, each gang threw out enormous prices, with each increment surpassing one million gold coins.

The real competition had now begun.

"50 million gold coins. Hao Tian."

"55 million gold coins. HeiLong WuTian."

"Wow…"

The competition finally became intense, and the previously sluggish price suddenly erupted, instantly surpassing 50 million gold coins. The players in the arena could not bear this shock.

"Hahaha…"

I laughed smugly, hiding behind the auction platform, just as Old Wine had estimated. The price of the "Gang Building Order" had exceeded 50 million gold coins.

Wait, 50 million gold coins, why so much? I remember seeing the top three on the wealth ranking four hours ago, and they were only around 55 million gold coins. How could so much money suddenly appear?

Open the wealth ranking and take a look.

First place, FengYun JinLong, with 68.42 million coins.

Second place, Hao Tian, with 67.56 million coins.

Third place, HeiLong WuTian, with 67.12 million coins.

Fourth place, Ye QingYan, with 66.72 million coins.

Fifth place, TianHuo DaoYin, with 65.41 million coins.

Sixth place, QianXing TianXia, with 64.01 million coins.

Seventh place, SanYe KuangFu, with 63.78 million coins.

Eighth place, WoShuai GuWoZai, with 62.74 million coins.

Ninth place, ShiShen # WuChen, with 61.11 million coins.

Tenth place, WoAi JinBi, with 59.42 million coins.

I'm astonished. The wealth ranking has undergone a dramatic change. During these four hours, various factions have infused a significant amount of coins into the game, with first-place FengYun JinLong approaching 70 million coins. No wonder the auction prices have been skyrocketing. According to the amount of coins listed on the wealth ranking, it shouldn't be a problem for the "Gang Building Order" to auction off for 60 million coins.

Wow, the ranking has changed.

As I was about to close the wealth ranking, it suddenly underwent a drastic change, with the rankings constantly changing.

First place, Ye QingYan, with 78.82 million coins.

Second place, HeiLong WuTian, with 77.46 million coins.

Third place, Hao Tian, with 76.72 million coins.

Fourth place, WoShuai GuWoZai, with 76.52 million coins.

Fifth place, FengYun JinLong, with 76.41 million coins.

Sixth place, TianHuo DaoYin, with 74.01 million coins.

Seventh place, SanYe KuangFu, with 72.78 million coins.

Eighth place, ShiShen # WuChen, with 71.81 million coins.

Ninth place, QianXing TianXia, with 64.01 million coins.

Tenth place, WoAi JinBi, with 59.42 million coins.

Each player on the wealth ranking instantly gained ten million coins. Watching the speed at which they were gaining wealth, I was speechless. Rich people are just different from others; their thinking and strategies are truly admirable.

The major factions schemed and fought against each other for this "Gang Building Order," instructing their subordinates to secretly bring in their coins to the exchange system and hide the quantity of their wealth before the auction, leaving others unaware of their strength.

The coin exchange system requires at least twenty minutes, but it took them less than thirty seconds to transfer coins from their subordinates, striking their opponents unexpectedly and winning this first and only "Gang Building Order" in the system, becoming the first to establish a faction in "King of Glory."

Watching the sudden appearance of two players on the wealth ranking, Ye QingYan and WoShuai GuWoZai, two unknown players unexpectedly entered the ranking and challenged the major factions, indicating that trouble was brewing.

Old Wine just introduced me to WoShuai GuWoZai, a charming young man who sat next to two beautiful women from the QiangWei mercenary group. He kept talking and gesturing with his hands, trying to impress the two women, but unfortunately, they didn't even look at him. Despite this, WoShuai GuWoZai remained undaunted, shamelessly trying to get close to the two beauties.

WoShuai GuWoZai's behavior matches his name, as he is extremely unpleasant. He is a spoiled, womanizing, extremely narcissistic and arrogant spendthrift who behaves in a very crude manner, harassing attractive female players in the game. Although he has offended many players, he has money and power, and likes to let his followers attack other players, so no one can do anything about it.

As for Ye QingYan, I haven't heard of him before. He came out of nowhere and shot to the top of the wealth rankings like a dark horse, shocking the players.

"Who is Ye QingYan, the one from that guild who has become the top of the wealth rankings? Does anyone know him?"

"I don't know."

"Never heard of him."

"Is it a man or a woman?"

Listening to the players' discussions, it seems that Ye QingYan is a mysterious guest. I peeked into the VIP area, but there was no clue. I couldn't tell if that player was related to him.

"70 million gold coins, Ye QingYan."

"71 million gold coins, WoShuai GuWoZai."

The two dark horses finally broke out. They were not giving so much money to the system to show off their wealth, but to get the "Gang Building Order".

Ye QingYan directly raised the price of the "Gang Building Order" to 70 million gold coins. This staggering number exceeded my imagination, but the arrogant WoShuai GuWoZai was not to be outdone. He loudly announced a higher price in front of two beautiful women from the QiangWei Mercenary Group, displaying his true strength, and trying to get their attention.

"75 million gold coins, Ye QingYan."

Ye QingYan raised the price significantly. It seemed that he didn't intend to give any other players a chance. He was determined to win the "Gang Building Order".

The leaders of the various factions looked at the mysterious Ye QingYan with furrowed brows and anxious hearts. Who was Ye QingYan? He was so rich and spent money like it was nothing. According to their estimation, most of the factions were prepared to pay around 70 million gold coins for the "Gang Building Order".

"Quickly, go and exchange another 20 million gold coins and bring them into the game."

Hao Tian regretted being too conservative. He only exchanged 75.72 million gold coins into the game, but it looked like the "Gang Building Order" was definitely going to exceed 80 million gold coins. He urged YinHun BuSan next to him to exchange money and hoped that the auction price would increase more slowly, giving him time to exchange more gold coins.

Money means nothing to Hao Tian, even if the "Gang Building Order" is auctioned for 100 million gold coins, he can afford it. However, he underestimated other players and did not expect that there would be so many wealthy people who were not behind him.

"75.1 million gold coins, Hao Tian."

Please don't have any more large price jumps. Hao Tian silently prayed for some preparation time.

"75.1 million gold coins, does anyone want to make another bid?"

Old Wine looked at the soaring price and was already overjoyed. This price exceeded his expectations and was too impressive. Stone City is going to strike it rich this time.

"Does anyone want to make another bid?"

"75.1 million gold coins, first call."

The auctioneer, Old Wine, started the bidding, and finally there was a pause after Hao Tian's price, instead of the series of bids by players earlier that left Old Wine unable to intervene.

"75.1 million gold coins, second call."

Old Wine continued to call out. As long as he gave one more reminder, the deal would be successful.
