Players internally curse at her because what she did dramatically increases the competition.
However, opening the auction required a fee of forty percent of the value purchased by selling the item, plus one hundred thousand gold coins.
Normally, this option would only be valid when the item was too precious and the value could cover all production costs, marketing, auction fees, and a considerable profit.
Madam Essos already saw the item's value the instant she looked, so she asked Wang Cai's permission to do so.
The instant the auction was opened to the public, the item was highlighted on the front page of the auction system.
When that information was seen, the news spread like wildfire across the world.
Many powerful guilds were already aware of the four outfits sold, but the last item took everyone by surprise and was too shocking.
So, it didn't matter if it was twenty thousand or one hundred thousand gold coins, they would go in to get that item.
If the tests on the creatures are successful, any attack class being used by a woman could weaken surrounding creatures for the rest of the party to attack.
The investment was worth it.
In a short time, the number of people participating in the auction reached more than eight thousand.
After about ten minutes, the total amounted to about fifty thousand participants.
Infinite World was just a global server and everyone was playing together at the same time.
So, the children of billionaires and millionaires were tycoons around the world, who had their guilds and participated in the auction.
Not just them, but the big companies in the world as well. Because they saw a great chance to earn a lot of money from the game.
On all continents, many guilds were sponsored by wealthy and influential companies in the world.
The guild would be like an investor-controlled company.
Before the opening of the auction, about five hundred people were participating, after that, more than fifty thousand signed up.
The profit from ticket sales was more than four hundred million gold coins. That was pretty insane.
Who would make such a profit in such a short time?
Another problem was the gold coins sold on the black market.
The time shown in the auction system was one hour, that is, the auction would only last one hour and when the time was up, the item would be automatically sent to the winner.
So, the big shots around the world tried to get gold coins at any cost. No matter the fonts.
So the black market was the option.
As there was a limited amount for players to get, many chose to buy on the black market, but there were so many players wanting high amounts that the demand became very high.
The value reached the maximum of fifty dollars for a single gold coin in the world market. That was the highest value for a game currency.
Gold sellers profited several hundred million dollars from this auction alone.
If Wang Cai wanted to, he could sell hundreds of millions of gold coins and become a billionaire, but he didn't because it wasn't worth the risk.
Because the government would know about his money after it arrived in the bank account. That way, the world would know that he was the mysterious owner of My Shop.
The problem was something he didn't want.
So Lin Hai sold five thousand gold coins and gave half of the profit to Wang Cai. The profit from the sale on the black market was more than a million RMBs.
Even paying the bank fees and federal fees, the amount received was still very much worth it and he could live for several years without working.
What happened was pretty insane.
Something is never seen before in more than six months of the game.
Another question everyone wanted to know. Who was the tailor who created these five outfits?
Speculations and investigations began to be made.
Unfortunately, the Silver Hands' Old Shop no longer existed, the store was closed and the owners disappeared. Only players and NPCs who entered could be questioned.
But there were so many that it was impossible to find them all. For there were even those who were from other kingdoms and powerful nobles, who could send any player to prison if they were offended.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the time to participate in the auction is over. Now, bids can be made."
The auction page screen was shown.
00000000
There was no minimum bid, so anyone could bid and add up to the highest bid.
The instant the number appeared, it was changed to a million and something.
1,332,195
The match was pretty crazy.
4,234,775
In less than five seconds, the value has already reached more than ten million.
19,335,353
And it kept going up without stopping.
Big guilds know how valuable this item is and they only have one in the world.
It was not possible to know how long it would take for another to appear.
Also, the attributes were always random and it was not possible to choose.
It was hard to imagine how long it took for those exact attributes to show up on an outfit again.
To make matters worse, there was only one auction hour.
So there wasn't much time.
The bids increased by the second and it didn't seem to stop.
It only slowed down when it reached seventy million gold coins.
Gradually, the value would only go up to a very low value, this was just to upset the opponent.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… 0
The auction has ended.
The figure shown on the small was ninety-seven million and a few numbers later.
"As mentioned before, part of this money raised will be sent to the Plavin City orphanage. My Shop thanks all of you for your support. We will be waiting for everyone at the next auction in a year." The three women bow before the small crowd before heading back inside the store.
The crowd didn't leave and kept talking about it.
Nobody imagined that the auction, which everyone thought was just rubbish, would become a worldwide thing.
The comments on the game's forums around the world were like one big party.
Everyone was asking who the mystery tailor was and what the class would be, as a normal tailor didn't have these skills. And who was the winner of the final item auction?
