Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 365 "That's it?"

The price of petri dishes has been rising steadily, approaching eight times that of basic materials, but the rate of price increases has gradually slowed down.

On the surface, it seemed that fewer people were bidding, but in reality, these old foxes were chatting enthusiastically with Li Zheng in private messages, hoping to bypass the auction and order a batch from Li Zheng.

Li Zheng ignored the prices offered by these people and rejected all but Liu Qishao and Tang Qianzang, citing the fact that the auction was not yet over.

Some people were persistent and clingy, but Li Zheng chose to ignore them, as if they didn't exist.

At that moment, Li Zheng suddenly understood what those goddesses who were constantly pursued by simps felt like on a daily basis...

It's both frustrating and disgusting, but I also have to be careful not to block them.

Therefore, you should never be clingy when pursuing a girl. Mutual affection is the best arrangement of fate. Those girls who "pretend to be reserved" and wait for you to "chase" them for several years are just being foolish and are not worth wasting your time on.

As compatriots, Kunlun and Jiutian would definitely receive some preferential treatment from Li Zheng. He promised both sides that, regardless of the final auction price, he would sell them some materials at three times the price of one unit.

As for the specific quantity, we'll have to discuss that in detail later.

With Li Zheng's promise, Liu Qi was in high spirits. He immediately changed the number of materials to one hundred and sent them out: "Small-scale operations are meaningless. This is the limit that Kunlun can afford. If someone offers a higher price, Kunlun will withdraw."

This move caught everyone off guard.

In this situation, what matters is the foundation and resources of an organization.

The more members there are, the more resources we can offer; this is a consensus.

Kunlun's membership is arguably one of the largest among all the organizations present; almost no other organization can compete with it!
To put it bluntly, even if Liu Qishao declared that he would buy all the items in the entire auction, no one would be surprised in the slightest.

Such a person, who should be wealthy and powerful, suddenly announced that he wanted to withdraw from the auction, which makes people wonder.

"It seems that Kunlun and Li Zheng have secretly reached a cooperation agreement. Even if they can't get their hands on these culture dishes, they can still buy them privately later." Misaka Tsuchiemon quickly figured out the key point.

“They are all players from the Dragon Kingdom, so it’s only natural that Li Zheng would let Kunlun take a shortcut. It’s not surprising.” Banquan Longma thought of the same thing.

"But it's really unethical of you to suddenly raise the price so much before you withdraw from the auction!" Cheng Tianpu looked like he had eaten shit.

Before Liu Qishao made his bid, the highest price was only a little over seventy shares.

This means that Liu Qishao's move instantly increased the price by one-third!

This is just too much of a rip-off!
Chacha glanced through the inventory and shook his head bitterly: "Kunlun is rich and powerful; we can't compete with them."

Although he could continue bidding, it would be of little significance.

Even if he eventually obtains ten culture dishes, it will be a major setback, and the entire organization will have to tighten its belt for a few days to recover.

Claire from Badong also commented in the live chat: "Fuck! I'm quitting too!"

Immediately afterwards, a series of comments about withdrawing from the auction appeared on the screen, with everyone feeling that Liu Qishao's actions were too bullying.

Surprisingly, no one believed that Liu Qishao's actions this time were instigated by Li Zheng.

In their minds, Liu Qishao was the leader of the Kunlun organization, which had more than 100,000 members. How could he possibly lower himself to collude with Li Zheng?

They all thought Liu Qishao was simply trying to annoy people, so they withdrew from the bidding, hoping he would suffer the consequences.

To be honest, even Li Zheng didn't understand Liu Qishao's actions.

Since you've already agreed to give Kunlun a batch of culture dishes at a cheaper price, why don't you, Liu Qishao, just obediently withdraw from the bidding?

If things go wrong and you only end up with ten culture dishes despite the high price of the material, wouldn't you feel like you've lost out?

Just as Li Zheng was thinking this, more and more people withdrew from the bidding in the live chat, and more than half of them chose to give up bidding for the ten culture dishes.

Soon, Li Zhengji will be able to announce that Liu Qishao has successfully won the bid for this round of props. Congratulations!

At this moment, Liu Qishao suddenly posted two words in the comments: "That's it?" It wasn't very damaging, but it was extremely insulting!
These two short words conveyed utter contempt.

Some people who were still hesitating about whether to withdraw from the bidding saw those two words and felt extremely annoyed and furious.

Who the hell are they looking down on?

So you think Kunlun is rich?

It's just a little bit of resources, why act so high and mighty?
Misaka Tsuchimon: "We, the creators, are few in number and weak in strength, but we don't even care about these resources. I'll add ten more sets of materials!"

One hundred and ten sets of materials!

Chris Moriarty: "The atmosphere's getting tense. Everyone, calm down and don't hold grudges. We Knights of the Round Table really need these culture dishes. Please be kind and let us have them. Ten more sets!"

One hundred and twenty sets of materials!

After much hesitation, Cheng Tianpu finally gritted his teeth and said, "Nth Room withdraws from the bidding!"

The stolen country has a small land area and a small population. Even if they claim to be the best in the world at gaming, they are just so-so in the Matrix. Their foundation cannot compare with that of a real large organization.

Ryoma Itazura finally seized the opportunity and taunted, "The Nth Room isn't enough? We'll add ten more in Takamagahara!"

When Tanaka Junichiro failed to contact him, he turned to higher-ups. Ryoma Itazumi received the news and felt more confident.

Cheng Tianpu ignored him, only muttering angrily, "Idiot."

Having gained the attention of the upper echelons of Takamagahara, Ryoma Itazura dasos has become much more assertive and no longer takes the Nth Room seriously. He has completely abandoned his previous submissive demeanor on the world channel and has become arrogant.

"Mr. Cheng, please don't forget our previous agreement. The entire staff of Takamagahara awaits the arrival of Room N!"

Misaka Tsuchimon suddenly interjected, "And Genesis! Mr. Cheng, don't forget that the Nth Room previously declared they would challenge all the players in the entire Muddy Country."

"Creation is going to join forces with Takamagahara?" Cheng Tianpu's face turned ugly.

Misaka Tsuchiemon replied, "Sōseki and Takamagahara both belong to the Muddy Country, so they should naturally be of one mind and fight together against the enemy! If Mr. Cheng is still not satisfied, he can join forces with another organization in your country, Shincheonji!"

United New World?
If Cheng Tianpu had such great abilities, he would have unified the entire nation long ago, and there would be no New World.
They're a bunch of complete lunatics, immersed in their own world, impossible to communicate with!

"Humph!"

Player "Cheng Tianpu" has left the live stream.

Leaving behind a cold snort, Cheng Tianpu didn't say a word and slunk away.

If Banquan Longma were still in the same state of being unable to support the army alone, Chengtianpu could lead his men to plunder the place, shift the blame onto him, and then back down.

At this time, through an auction, not only did Itazumi Ryoma gain the attention of Takamagahara, but even Genesis expressed its support.

As a result, Nth Room could only resolve their personal grudges with Itazumi Ryoma.

Otherwise, they will face retaliation from the entire Muddy Kingdom.

Even Li Zheng didn't expect that holding an auction would actually help Banquan Longma avert a crisis.

Ryoma Itazura was moved to tears: "Misaka-san, thank you so much!"

Misaka Tsuchimon retorted without hesitation with a vulgar Chinese curse: "You son of a bitch! Get lost!"

Izazuki Ryoma: "???"

Misaka Tsuchiemon thought that Jiang Bingyao had found him because Izazumi Ryoma had betrayed him...

Banquan Longma is almost unjustly killed.
