The Metaverse World
The Prime Auction Part 2
Lotu Wong froze, looked at Heru Cokro and said hesitantly, "Are you Jendra?"
Heru Cokro has made plans to be recognized. A person with that much money at this stage aside from the great power there was only him, so he nodded his head. “Yes, it's me. I finally met with brother Lotu Wong.”
"Haha, since this is a younger brother, I will give up!" Lotu Wong laughed, not caring too much about missing out. He was really an old fox, because it was obvious that he himself had no money to compete but he made it seem like letting Heru Cokro win.
Heru Cokro was not a person who lacked manners and since Lotu Wong treated him politely, he naturally also treated him with respect. "The brother received your gift."
They started talking like no one was around. Jendra, he is the mysterious ruler of Indonesian territory, and he finally appears. Even Roberto and Wijiono Manto could not help but turn around to look at him. Some of them looked like wild beasts staring at him. As for everyone's greetings, Heru Cokro simply nodded politely and did not want to talk to them.
Thankfully for him, the auctioneer took him out of the situation by saying, “Six hundred fifty times, 650 twice, 650 three times. Congratulations to number 99 for winning the second item.” As he announced this, the item landed on Heru Cokro's storage bag.
"Now to the third item." Now what appeared in his hand was a bead. He continued. “This is Wood Soul Bead. It could increase the agricultural production of the region by 15%. The initial offer is 100 and the purchase is 500 gold coins.”
This is another good item, achieving the same result with territorial special rolls.15% may look very little, but when the territory is expanded, this is a very large and very valuable amount.
Heru Cokro doubts whether to enter. His main goal to enter was to obtain a blueprint for manufacturing weapon equipment. The other stuff wasn't what he needed. Even though he had enough money, he did not want to show his financial strength.
As he hesitated, the price of the item had been pushed to 400 gold coins. Heru Cokro raised his head. The last to bid was Hesty Purwadinata. Since he was his ally, he simply gave up. In the end, his 400 gold bid won the Wood Soul Bead.
Hesty Purwadinata's strategy was successful. He knew that he had limited funds and could not defeat that powerful force. The purpose of the great powers was the same as the goal of Heru Cokro, and they all aimed for the manual manufacturing of weapon equipment. Thus, they did not want to waste money on items like the Wood Soul Bead.
After the first 3 items were auctioned off, Roberto and Wijiono Manto were both still not moving, just waiting patiently.
“Now for our fourth item,” in the hands of the auctioneer there is a wooden doll, said, “This is a replacement doll, let the player live once without any negative effects. The base price is 100 gold, while the purchase price is 500 gold, please make your offer.” All players were confused, why did the system take out such a useless object. At this stage of the game, players would only lose one level when they died, why would they use such a puppet.
Only Heru Cokro knew that this was a precious item. A year later, when everyone entered the game, the system would change the death penalty and when they died, they would become level 0 and lose all of their items. Such a harsh punishment, the only way to avoid it was such a puppet.
"110 gold!" Someone is thinking of testing the market and making an offer.
"120 gold!"
"130 gold!"
"140 gold!"
All of these players held the hope of picking up some leftover items, as they were unlikely to compete with powerful players. However, in order for the system to classify a replacement puppet as a rare item, he would have to have special uses. For example, be the key to trigger a hidden search.
"190 gold!"
"200 gold!"
In the end, when the replacement puppet reached 200 gold, very few people bid.
"250 gold!" Heru Cokro knew all their intentions and added 50 gold to crush their hopes.
"250 gold once, twice, 250 gold 3 three times, congratulations number 99 for winning the fourth item." The auctioneer hammer landed, the item with the lowest price in the auction fell into the hands of Heru Cokro.
"Basic of the hick!" Roberto said condescendingly when Heru Cokro spent such money.
The auctioneer was very focused on his work and he immediately started announcing the next item. This time another token. "The fifth item is the basic warrior token, turn 100 militia members into armored cavalry, start bidding for 300 gold, 1500 gold purchases, please make your bid."
The crowd was in an uproar because this token could be considered to be of great help to a powerful force. If it was an ordinary army token, like the arrow cavalry Heru Cokro had obtained, it would not have gotten everyone so excited. After all, all of these people had hamlets and to equip the army of light armored cavalry could be done.
However, the armored cavalry was a different case, a completely different topic. Regardless of good equipment or war horses, no king was capable of doing so. Even Heru Cokro himself was looking for a barong.
"500 gold!" Jogo Pangestu made the first bid, ruling out most of the players who are here to enjoy the atmosphere.
Lotu Wong shouted, "600 gold."
Roberto did not want to miss and shouted, "800 gold."
Aside from the three members of the Black Nine Dragons that were wiped out. Only Wijiono Manto, Maria Bhakti and Prakash Lobia did not move. Prakash Lobia has no money, while the other two are for unknown reasons. Wijiono Manto had a large capital but he just sat there and did not move. Maria Bhakti also did not care and did not plan to make a move.
Roberto was delighted, thinking he could win the token. But reality says otherwise, because Lotu Wong broke his daydream and announced, "1000 gold coins!"
Roberto's expression became very ugly. He had made hard-earned money, borrowed and begged other rulers and only earned 950 gold, Lotu Wong's offer excluded him from winning the goods, angering him.
"1100 gold!" Heru Cokro chose this moment to suddenly merge.
Heru Cokro's offer shocked everyone, no one expected him to have so much capital. He had spent 900 gold coins on two items, with this, he had spent 2000 gold. Such a large amount of funds was not what an ordinary king would dare to think.
Java Dwipa with so much funds, what kind of situation is that? Java Dwipa is the most mysterious region in Indonesia, how many more secrets is it hiding? To be able to join the auction, you must be one of the top few rulers in the game. Thinking back to when Roberto was so arrogant to Heru Cokro, all the players could not help but laugh. “Isn't Roberto so arrogant? Now, he couldn't even take out 1000 gold coins and still looked down on Heru Cokro, this is so funny!”
