Chapter 121: The Other Event
It was the same for others, and many of them even thought that they saw 1101 just now.
It took them a few seconds to realize that it was another competitor.
At this time, they couldn't help but feel curious as to who this person was. After all, 4,500 Points was not a small amount!
That could be equal to 900 Item Upgrade Crystals!
Noticing a pause in the bidding war, the auctioneer spoke.
"Bidder 1102 leads with 4,500 Points! Is there anyone else planning to fight for the machine gun that could protect your shelter?"
As soon as she finished speaking, another bid came, and it was from Travis once again.
[ Bidder 1104 bids 4,550 Points. ]
He only added 50 Points as if to tell that he was planning to see this until the end.
Well, the Machine Gun was simply too valuable. Unlike the flamethrower, swords, and barriers, this weapon could easily suppress a horde of zombies, even if you were alone!
Of course, this new Bidder and some other rich ones weren't planning to give up the Machine Gun either!
[ Bidder 1102 bids 4,650 Points. ]
[ Bidder 1233 bids 4,750 Points. ]
[ Bidder 1109 bids 4,850 Points. ]
[ Bidder 1104 bids 4,970 Points. ]
"Whoa! This is intense!"
"Just how many points did these people gather!"
"How did they do this?! Ugh… I think I should be joining these Clans later."
"Just pray that you're near their camp… Also, consider introducing yourself to them later. Just in case you meet outside."
"Right, they must have a large number of members supporting behind them."
"There's simply no way for lone Survivors to gather this many Points."
Shane watched, his expression unreadable, as the numbers climbed.
He was actually also impressed by the number of Points they had gathered. After all, without the help of the mysterious research room on the third floor of the manor, he would only have less than seven thousand points. brought-to-you-by-MvLeMpYr
'Ahh… There's also that talent that can guarantee Item Upgrade Crystals in every 10 Zombies killed.' Shane suddenly recalled the message he read before in the Regional Chat.
If her talent was properly used by a large clan, they would surely obtain tons of these Crystals to be converted to Points.
Anyway, Shane bided his time, waiting for the right moment to strike.
[ Bidder 1102 bids 5,100 Points. ]
As soon as the bid reached over five thousand points, Shane knew that it was finally his time.
Then, with a calm press of a button, Shane made his move.
[ Bidder 1101 bids 6,000 Points. ]
A hush fell over the crowd.
The other bidders hesitated, the enormity of Shane's bid sinking in.
Over 16,000 points! They just confirmed Bidder 1101 had this many Points after adding up all the items he just purchased!
It was something that Travis, together with his whole Clan and other people working for him, failed to accumulate!
Asad, also known as the Raven Guard and Bidder 1102, sighed after seeing the bid. He really underestimated Bidder 1101's wealth.
'I only managed to get this 8,000 Points after converting all those important medical supplies in the hospital together with my accumulated Zombie Cores. I wonder how did this guy obtain so much…' Asad muttered as he looked around the hall. He tried observing the expressions of other people but he couldn't find a clue.
Furthermore, he wasn't bidding a while ago as he was looking for Bidder 1101… He wanted to observe the crowd to see who was still pressing on their BidLink Communicator…
However, he failed to find the Bidder as he seemed to be very stealthy when inputting his bid into the device.
"It's over… This 1101 will take everything from us."
"Please be fair! Give a chance to others…"
"Right, please give up some of the important weapons, Sir! There is still a Market Bazaar outside, and you might find better items there."
"Yes! Please go outside now!"
The other Survivors couldn't help but plead at Bidder 1101. They were also watching the crowd's expression to see if they could find this mysterious and wealthy Survivor.
Anyway, Travis, watching from his seat, had already given up…
"He's not messing around…" He said as admiration laced his tone.
He couldn't help but desire to meet this Bidder 1101!
Natalie Cross, who had also given up on the bid after reaching 4,000 Points, leaned forward, her eyes locked on the display.
"That's hard to beat… I hope this Bidder can reveal himself..." She murmured.
Several seconds passed, and no other Survivors raised their bid.
The auctioneer called out once more… "Bidder 1101 leads with 6,000 Points! Going once, going twice… Sold to Bidder 1101!"
The hall erupted in applause, some genuine, some grudging.
Shane had secured the Machine Gun, a significant victory. His reputation as a serious contender was solidified, and the other survivors could only take note of it.

In the meantime, as the echo of the final bid for the Machine Gun faded, Raze felt a twinge of discontent stir within her.
The Grand Auction Hall, with its frenzied bidding and displays of wealth, was becoming too much for her to handle.
She had already secured a Master-Grade Ranger's Survival Axe, a prize in its own right, but she felt that if she stayed here for long, she would just die out of envy from these wealthy Survivors.
'Haa~ I wish I have these many Points as well.' Raze thought as she stood up from her seat.
With a determined stride, Raze exited the hall, the heavy doors closing behind her with a resounding thud.
Her next destination was obvious.
"Let's see if I can get lucky here…" Raze muttered after seeing the other area where she could also obtain items. Although she probably needed some luck here, she believed that with the help of her Baby Dragon's instinct, she might be able to find decent items!
"Oh... This place looks better." Raze muttered after seeing the site.
The Market Bazaar outside was a stark contrast to the opulence she had left behind.
