Chapter 1041: A Better Solution
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Having control over a main city was definitely the starting point for a large guild to dominate the game.
In the eyes of those mega guilds, being the City Lord of a main city was the ultimate way to display power as compared to just having a better guild headquarters.
One glaring example would be Apocalypse’s immense desire for the City Lord title of the Sky Dragon City.
Just as Wang Yu was wondering if he should transfer this title to someone else, Nine Solitary Spears suddenly sent Wang Yu a message, “Aiya, Brother Bull. Are you okay… You’ve made me really anxious and worried!”
When Wang Yu saw Nine Solitary Spears’ message, Wang Yu did not know what to feel.
Tsk, dying once in the game would merely deduct 10 percent experience. What was there to worry about? He could have just told him that he wanted to become the City Lord instead of faking concern. To make things worse, Wang Yu couldn’t even expose Nine Solitary Spears’ pretense which made it even more awkward.
Regardless of how awkward Wang Yu felt, he was not an insensible person. It would be ridiculous for Wang Yu to reprimand him immediately after his concern.
“I’m fine…” Wang Yu replied.
“That’s great, that’s great…”
Nine Solitary Spears continued, “Where is Brother Bull now? Do you want to have a drink with me?”
“Have a drink?” Wang Yu asked, “Is the Sky Dragon City’s pub not torn apart?”
“This…”
Nine Solitary Spears was stunned by Wang Yu’s question as both of them fell into an awkward silence again.
Actually, Nine Solitary Spears was an extremely direct fella. If he was dealing with any other person, he would have gone straight to the point.
This time, however, the other party was Wang Yu…
Nine Solitary Spears was already extremely terrified of Wang Yu so after witnessing how Wang Yu took on Heavenly Dragon by himself, he became docile and obedient to Wang Yu.
Why would he dare to be direct with Wang Yu?
Just in case Wang Yu got enraged, nobody could guarantee that the hundred thousand of players from Apocalypse could take care of Wang Yu. However, Nine Solitary Spears was 100 percent certain that if Wang Yu wanted to escape, none of them would be able to stop him.
Furthermore, there was some kind of relationship between the boss of Peerless Heaven and Wang Yu. One must know that no matter what, Wang Yu had been hanging out with the despicable b*stards from the Quan Zhen Sect. In the event that he really offended Wang Yu, he could forget about becoming the City Lord for the rest of his life.
However, Nine Solitary Spears was a direct person by nature so it was a type of torture for him to beat around the bush no matter who he was speaking to.
Wang Yu couldn’t stand people who kept trying to hold something back and not get to the point. Just as he was about to express his stand, Fearless suddenly sent him a message, “Don’t be in a hurry to do anything yet!”
“Why not?” Wang Yu questioned.
“Are you just going to give away all the authority over a main city?” Fearless asked.
“Otherwise?” Wang Yu was still at a loss.
Throughout this task, even if the Apocalypse failed at the crucial moment, Wang Yu wouldn’t be able to succeed without the shielding of Nine Solitary Spears and the rest.
Therefore, Wang Yu felt that it was reasonable for him to give Sky Dragon City to Apocalypse. In fact, he even felt slightly guilty because of the reparation fees of the city.
Therefore, when Fearless came to stop him from doing so, it was inevitable that Wang Yu felt slightly doubtful.
“Hehe!” Fearless replied, “We are talking about the authority over a main city and do you know how valuable this is? So many people would offer high prices and not be able to attain it so how can you casually give it away like that?”
“So what are you saying?” Wang Yu immediately got to his senses after listening to Fearless’ explanation. Fearless was actually intending to sell this title.
Really dark-hearted…
Initially, Wang Yu was starting to convince himself that he was inwardly evil and scheming. However, he realised he was actually pure as the driven snow when compared to a fella like Fearless.
This fella actually thought of selling it at a high price when this had a hidden cost of one million gold… This fella was really trying to seize every opportunity to earn a profit.
Indeed, Fearless replied with a smile, “Of course we’re going to sell it.”
Wang Yu was slightly hesitant as he answered, “Sell it? But I’m afraid I won’t be able to sell it and hurt myself again.”
Even though the authority of a main city was genuine, who wouldn’t ask for all the details before purchasing something?
If there was no hidden cost, it would make sense for Apocalypse to pay a little price for something so valuable. However, in order to sell this, the other party would be the consumer and if he didn’t state everything clearly, wouldn’t he be scamming a consumer?
Once news like this leaked out, others might not consider it even if he was giving out for free. Wouldn’t he be hurting himself that way?
Fearless replied, “Nonsense! For a valuable item like this, we are definitely putting it at the auction!”
“Auction?” Wang Yu scratched his chin as he thought about it. Putting items at the auction meant that the buyer and seller will never meet each other. The other party would never know about the reparations cost or the person behind this sale.
As for the amount that it would sell for, that depends entirely on how much the buyer was willing to pay.
However, Wang Yu suddenly asked again, “Didn’t you say that an auction will charge a processing fee and it wasn’t worth it?”
“I’m talking about a live auction!” Fearless continued, “That is a plaything for the rich men and not something poor fellas can play with.”
“I see.” Wang Yu understood.
This was a pretty decent idea and since he could sell such a valuable item away, Wang Yu was naturally not dumb enough to reject this idea.
Besides the main city of the Sky Dragon City, Wang Yu also possessed the dragon scales, dragon meat and dragon egg. This was a great opportunity for him to sell his items.
At the thought of this, Wang Yu couldn’t help but ask, “When is this auction going to start?”
“Tomorrow…” Fearless replied, “However, we have to bring the items over today and at the same time, we need to start publicising it.”
“Publicise?”
Naturally, Wang Yu understood the intention of providing the hype before the auction.
After all, becoming the City Lord of a main city was the dream of many mega guilds. Without hyping this up, nobody would know that they would be selling such an item at the auction. The price would only increase in accordance to the competitive strength of everyone at the auction.
No wonder he was the professional inept advisor of the Quan Zhen Sect. This was clearly something that would cost money but he managed to turn it around to earn quick money. It was a real pity for a brain like Fearless to only be playing games.
After understanding Fearless’ thought process, Wang Yu agreed excitedly. “Alright, let’s do this! Where are we going to meet up? I’ll head over there now!”
Fearless replied, “Freedom City!”
“Alright, I will be there immediately!” After acknowledging his message, Wang Yu closed his chat with Fearless before replying Nine Solitary Spears, “Are you going to talk about the City Lord issue?”
“En, en, en!” Nine Solitary Spears immediately replied as he asked, “You still remember?”
“En!” Wang Yu continued, “The City Lord’s seal will be sold at an auction!”
After saying that, Wang Yu added, “It will be at the live auction at Freedom City.”
“Ah?” Seeing Wang Yu’s reply, Nine Solitary Spears felt slightly wronged, “Brother Bull, haven’t we talked through this before?”
“That’s right! But what we agreed is that if you guys help me kill Heavenly Dragon, I will let you become the City Lord. However, I was the one who killed Heavenly Dragon by myself and I doubt you can deny that, right?”
