Only players that plan to resell it are bidding for the item but it was obvious they'd easily give up once the price is above their budgets.
"150000 Magic crystals!" Xuanyuan suddenly shouted warning a bunch of surprised looks from the other VIPs. They wondered why Xuanyuan wanted the item.
'Perhaps he wants to resell it' They concluded and watched on. With no one raising a hand to bid. That made things quite easy for Xuanyuan.
"160000 Magic crystals" A NPC shouted.
"200000 Magic crystals!" Xuanyuan shouted back.
The NPC sensed that Xuanyuan is quite desperate for the Magic design so he gave up bidding. He didn't even need it anyway. It's better to save money for better items he needed.
Xuanyuan wasn't planning to get the item either but after considering the fact that Jade spear Holy city would soon face attacks from other cities, improving the City's defense was a must even though it's defense as a Holy city was already top notch, it was not bad to improve it further.
