Chapter 032: Commotion

The problem lies in how to sell it. Such a valuable item naturally needs an auction house to maximize its value. At this stage, players have two ways to auction items. One is through a recognized player auction house, such as the Jupao Auction House, where after successfully auctioning off an item, the auction house will charge a commission of 5%. For players like Xiao Hua, who are diamond members, they only charge 2%.

Another method is to auction it in the system auction house. Unlike player-established auction houses, items must first be appraised by the system and confirmed to have at least a blue item value before they can be listed for auction with an initial fee of 100 gold coins. Players can set their own minimum bid price and one-time offer. If the item does not sell, it will be directly mailed back to the player's mailbox. Once the item is sold, the system will charge a commission of 20%!

Compared to player auction houses, the commission charged by system auction houses is quite high. However, system auction houses have two advantages that cannot be replaced by player auction houses! First, items on the system auction house are publicly auctioned off in the entire Xinhua region. Anyone who has enough gold coins on their person or in their warehouse can bid for items in the system auction hall. Second, when you sell an item on the system auction house, you don't need to worry about confidentiality at all. Only you and the three main brains know that you are the owner of this item!

In comparison, player auction houses can only be held in one city, but under the current operating methods of player auction houses, the same item can even fetch a higher price at a player auction house than at the system auction house! A valuable item, with the promotion of the player auction house, its popularity is far greater than that of the cold and mechanical system auction house!

However, when it comes to confidentiality, although each auction house has solemnly promised various assurances, Xiao Hua is not hesitant to doubt these promises. Money can make ghosts move, let alone this is just a game. Leaking information only requires a few private chats, and even if someone suspects, there is no evidence to prove it.

So after some consideration, Xiao Hua finally decided to put the town guild upgrade token up for auction on the system auction house! He had no relationship with Old Fei at all. The last time he took out a copy of "Ice and Snow" might have already aroused suspicion, and now if he brings such an impactful item over again, he would probably become a target for surveillance!

At this stage, the upgrade token for the town guild can sell at least one million yuan. With a commission of 20% and 2%, Xiao Hua will undoubtedly lose a lot of money, but this is a method that eliminates future problems. Now, there is only one super boss in all of China that has been successfully defeated. How to explain that the town guild upgrade token that was not found in the hands of the Icebound Union? The only explanation is that the thief who is famous on the forum now stole it!

Although Xiao Hua's town guild upgrade token was stolen, it was his hard work and sweat for two days. For this reason, he offended a super BOSS forever and had nothing to do with the frozen trade union! He didn't know if the thief had touched anything on the Frost Dragon, but he didn't want to be the thief's scapegoat. However, it can be predicted that no matter whether the thief stole something or not, as soon as the upgrade token of the town guild appeared on the system auction house, the thief was actually robbing the BOSS and offended the ice union forever!

The System Auction House is a rather tall and solemn Roman dome building, with only one hall inside. It is very spacious and open, and the hustle and bustle in the hall is no less than that of the Free Exchange! If you want to quickly find some good blue equipment or want to make an unexpected fortune, coming to the System Auction House is the best choice.

The System Auction House is the crystallization of magic civilization in the Second World. A huge magical screen suspended in the middle of the hall can be viewed from any angle. The display on the screen is divided into two parts, with the left showing the top ten items currently auctioned by the system and valued the highest, and the right showing the top ten items currently being bid on most fiercely.

Players, no matter where they stand in the hall, can always call up a dedicated small magic screen at any time to perform a series of operations related to auctions and bidding. Of course, these actions are very discreet, and others will only see you looking down at the magic screen. As for what is displayed on the screen and what you have done, others cannot know. So watching the constantly appearing strange items here during idle times is also a form of entertainment for a small number of people.

In fact, most people here are more likely to have a Taobao mentality. After all, the items appearing on it are at least worth blue equipment or above. As for mistakes in setting the fixed price, they happen every day, depending on who has a faster hand and eye. As for undervaluing the true value of equipment and setting a relatively low fixed price, there are countless examples.

Xiao Hua walked in and was slightly shocked by the lively atmosphere of the auction house. During the internal test, there were only 50,000 people, most of whom were union members. There was nothing to sell on the system auction house at that time, and the contrast between the coldness then and the hustle and bustle now was striking!

The system auction house also has a storage function. Xiao Hua came back to his senses, took out the town hall upgrade token from the warehouse, and called up a magic screen to have the system authenticate the town hall guild token. He then began setting the starting price, one-time bid, and auction time.

The auction starting price and fixed price of items can be arbitrarily set, with a minimum of 100 gold coins and no maximum limit. The auction time is from 1 to 7 days, and the system defaults to one day. For each additional day, an additional ten gold coins are required. Xiao Hua was previously penniless and asked Fang Ning for several hundred gold coins for this purpose. Holding such a town upgrade token, but without money to put it up for auction, it would be hard to say whether people would cry or laugh if they knew about it.

"Auction item: Town Hall Upgrade Token; Minimum bid: 5 million gold coins; One-time bid: 30 million gold coins; Auction time: 3 days!" Xiao Hua chuckled and set a very abnormal one-time bid and time, now on the auction house, there was only Xiao Hua who dared to set the minimum bid at 5 million gold coins! And three days of time would be enough for any large guild with financial resources to prepare for fundraising!

After clicking "OK", the town upgrade token would disappear from his backpack. At the same time, in the entire Hua Xia region, the highest valued item floating in the center of the system auction hall suddenly changed, and the town upgrade token was ranked first!

This change, initially not many people noticed, after all most people would focus their attention on the small magic screen in front of them. However, in the system auction hall, most people had a merchant's eye and when they casually glanced at this newly appearing item, their eyes couldn't help but be drawn to the dazzling name of the Town Hall Upgrade Token!

One person is like this, two people are like this. In a short while, most of the people in the system auction hall took off their magic screens and stared at the town upgrade token with deathly eyes! An unusual atmosphere quickly spread throughout the system auction house. Those who did not notice the existence of the town upgrade token suddenly realized the abnormal change after noticing it, and sensitively realized that something big had happened. Following the gaze of others, they naturally saw this thing first!

And the next moment, the second world's private chat system ushered in the busiest moment, countless private chat crazy transmission around, and these information, all is not with the sudden appearance of the town will line upgrade token related! Its madness is even worse than the success of the Ice Union in killing the 50-level Super BOSS! After all, just a while ago, on the forum, countless people had already made many topical discussions around the upgrade token of the town meeting. However, not long after they left the forum, and even many people were discussing this thing in the forum, it appeared in the system auction house. How can it not be paid much attention?

"Town will upgrade token appeared in the system auction house!"

"Boss, a town hall upgrade token is being auctioned on the system auction house!"

"XX, come to the system auction house to take a seat and watch the show. If you're late, there won't be any seats left!"

...

Such news spreads like a chain reaction through private chats, spreading at an incredible speed and breadth that would make any advertiser worldwide feel ashamed!

"Is this true?" This was the first reaction of many people after receiving the news. However, as one friend after another sent different private messages with the same meaning, it became impossible to doubt!

The news quickly spread through the forum. Those who frequented the forum were often very fond of excitement, and after hearing this news, almost everyone returned to the game, rushing towards the auction house, hoping for a viewing spot!

If we compare the system auction house to player auction houses, one of the shortcomings of the system auction house is that it cannot create the intense atmosphere of bidding until death like a player auction house! However, this only refers to the bidding for ordinary items. Once there is an important item that the entire region wants, the intensity of the bidding will not be comparable to a small player auction house in a city!

And now, it's time for this item to start bidding!
