Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 21 21-Starting Bid of 1 Million for A Consumable Item? Are you guys crazy?

Chapter 21 Chapter21-Starting Bid of 1 Million for A Consumable Item? Are you guys crazy?

The game "Godslayer" had been launched for a month now, and the value of Gold Coins was not the same as it was.

The exchange rate between Gold Coins in the game and real-world currency had roughly stabilized at 1:500.

This meant that the starting price for this dagger, converted into real-world currency, was about 17,000 dollars.

As a temporary transitional equip, this price was already a bit high.

Emma watched as the players below kept raising their bids, her heart pounding wildly.

Is this what an auction is like?

It's indeed a game for the rich!

...

Meanwhile, in the temple.

John knew that the auction had begun, but he wasn't particularly interested.

He had already seen that legendary item, and it was nothing but a harmful thing. Whoever bought it would be throwing their money away.

The Devil's discarded husk before becoming a god, what good could come out of it?

Not to mention there were other gods' guardians set up.

This was not a treasure, but a death trap!

So he didn't bother watching the live broadcast of the auction and was instead trying to figure out how to deal with the Black Mist around The Devil Azazel.

If John guessed correctly, the Black Mist concealed divinity, a manifestation of a certain order.

To break this Black Mist... either find a loophole in the order, or master another power of an order.

Otherwise, the Black Mist would be an insurmountable barrier.

Only by breaking the Black Mist could he attack The Devil Azazel's true body.

"Mastering the power of an order, huh." John thought to himself.

Although the game world was not the real world, mastering its orders was no easy task.

Possessing the power of orders meant one was at least a demigod.

It seemed more likely to find a loophole in the laws of Black Mist.

John had no idea how to solve the Black Mist problem for the time being, so he decided not to think about it.

"No matter what, continuing to level up is definitely not a problem... as the saying goes, Where there's a will, there's a way."

"Maybe when my level is higher, there will be a way to deal with that Black Mist."

So he continued to charge into the Stone Gate to deal with "trouble" from The Devil Azazel.

...

Silverglow.

Inside the Dawn Breeze Auction House, the hostess Isabella continued to introduce one auction item after another.

The items for this auction were all carefully selected, with various rare equipment and items, all of them high quality.

Combined with Isabella's professional presentation and persuasive words, the bidding was incessant.

"The next item is the penultimate one in this auction."

"This is a potion created by a mysterious alchemy master. It's very rare, and no words from me can describe its preciousness..."

"So, I suggest you all to see it for yourself." Isabella's introduction drew everyone's attention to the small box in the center of the stage.

Those watching the live broadcast kept updating their comments:

"Is it really that amazing? Is the host exaggerating?"

"I think this item should be good, after all, it's the second to last item in the auction. We all know that the last one is that legendary item, and the auction items are presented in order of importance from low to high, so this thing must be good! Even if it's not a legendary item... it's definitely a strong one!"

"Agree!"

"Agree!"

"Agree! That bro makes sense."

"That dude earlier can't be wrong, I'm growing more curious about what this item actually is!"

On stage, the host, Isabella, noticed that everyone's attention was drawn to the box.

She knew the item had piqued everyone's interest.

She continued, "This item is a consumable, so the auction starting price won't be too high..."

"At the request of the original owner, we do not accept game Gold Coins, only real currency. The starting price is... 1 million dollars!"

The scene was suddenly silent.

Even the chat room on the internet was silent for a moment, with no one sending any bullet comments.

The first player to react couldn't help but type a string of exclamation marks in the chat channel: "!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Did I hear that wrong?"

"A consumable item actually dares to ask for a starting price of 1 million?!"

Soon, numerous bullet comments followed.

"Yes, you heard right, I also heard it's 1 million!"

"A 1 million consumable... isn't that just a disposable item? What kind of thing dares to sell so expensive?"

"Who knows, maybe someone thinks these rich people are fools, their money is too easy to earn."

"Rich people can't just waste money, spending 1 million on a consumable game item is like throwing money in the water, isn't it?"

Internet users started to comment one after another.

The players at the auction site also seemed somewhat unsettled.

Off stage, a few people from the Hegemony Guild were the loudest.

A player with the ID "World Conqueror" stood up and shouted, "What kind of damn thing dares to call this price? You auction house better stop wasting our time! Hurry up and bring out the legendary items for everyone!"

Several members from the same guild also angrily shouted, "Host! Who is the one dares to call this price? Give us his ID, we guild will teach him a good lesson!"

Hegemony Guild is a well-known guild in the gaming world, even once selected as one of the top 500 guilds worldwide.

It is said that the members of this guild are all involved in the underworld in reality, but it's not clear if this is true.

In general, most players in the game will choose to avoid any trouble with Hegemony Guild.

Isabella looked at the group of people from Hegemony Guild offstage, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

However, she quickly hid her expression.

As a professional auctioneer, she was able to control her emotions well.

"Sorry, our auction house will not disclose any information about the seller."

"World Conqueror" snorted and said, "Whatever, only a fool would buy this thing!"

If not for the presence of so many experts, he would have rushed onto the stage to force the auction house to give up the legendary items.

After all, in the game, power is supreme.

Many others in the room also had words of disapproval.

They looked at the small box with disdain and indifference.

It seemed they all thought that calling a starting price of 1 million for this item was a pipe dream.

The truly powerful people came here for the legendary items, and those without power could not afford items worth more than a million dollars.

Meanwhile, Emma, who was present, saw this and became anxious.

She quickly sent a message to John: "John, the item you asked us to bring to the auction seems to be having some problems."

...

In the temple.

John, who had just resurrected, was about to enter the Stone Gate again when he noticed the message from Emma.

He opened the friend chat interface and replied, "What's wrong? I thought the item I provided was pretty good, how did it become a problem?"

Soon, Emma replied, "I can't explain it in detail... it seems they are all very dissatisfied with your item. There are also a lot of people cursing the seller on the live streaming room. Bro, you better check out the auction live stream yourself."

John was left completely bewildered by what was said.

He had only heard that Emma and White Feather were going to auction the ancient parchment and asked them to auction something for him as well, hoping to make some money.

He never expected it to cause such an uproar online.

John logged onto the forum and opened the auction house's live streaming room.

After watching for a while, he understood why people were cursing.

"Is a starting price of 1 million dollars expensive?"

John rubbed his chin, wondering if he had set the starting price too high.

However, after thinking for a while, he quickly came to the conclusion: 1 million was not expensive at all.

In fact, it was a bargain.

The person who really bought this item would certainly gain great benefits!

Meanwhile, at the auction.

Isabella managed to calm down the noisy customers in the room, then continued,

"As for whether it's worth it..."

"I invite everyone to see what kind of item this is before making a judgment."

Having said that, she stepped forward and opened the delicate small wooden box.

A glass bottle shining with dazzling light appeared before everyone's eyes.
