The auction

The auction hall fell into an unusual hush. 

Players turned their heads, focusing on the boxes on the second floor, waiting for Karthus and Chillminder to continue bidding. 

Most of the players on the first floor were well aware that they couldn't participate in the second round of the auction. 

Typically, the items in this round were top-tier equipment and items, incredibly valuable, and only the big shots on the second floor could afford to bid for them. 

So, the majority of the players on the first floor had essentially given up on bidding, adopting an attitude of watching the show for entertainment.

Seeing Chillminder and Karthus begin their bidding war, the other guild leaders from the world's top ten elite guilds also settled down in their seats. 

It wasn't that they lacked the means to participate; they simply chose not to waste their energy on what they considered an unimportant matter.
