Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

boom!
This time, it wasn't just Elder Yun who was restless; everyone on the Disaster Sect's side was on edge.

He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with raging fury as he stared intently at Yan Shuangying, who was playing cat's cradle with a little penguin in the corner, having somehow found a rope.

The little penguin even got red-hot from being played with so much because it didn't have fingers.

Sure enough, this guy definitely knew what kind of artifacts their Disaster Cult needed to bid on during this trip!
If the exposure of "Swallowing Thieves" made them suspect that there was a mole among their own people...

The current auction of the [Abyss Relic] has essentially confirmed this speculation.

Otherwise, they couldn't figure out how Yan Shuangying knew their purpose for this trip.

Yeah... So where did you find out?
Wu Wang squinted and glanced at the Disaster Sect and the others out of the corner of his eye.

Their self-deprecating thoughts were clearly visible above their heads.

[The Vision of Truth] This piece, oh my.

He knew everything from the beginning, including what each person present wanted to film and the highest price they could accept.

His previous behavior wasn't just for fun; it was also a setup for taking a picture of the key later.

Now only the final step remains in the preparation.

On this [Abyss Relic], Wu Wang wanted to thoroughly instill a certain concept in people's hearts.

"Hmm? What? Do you have any objections now?" Gentleman Penguin asked the Disaster Cult and the others with a smile.

The threatening implications are self-evident.

No matter how angry the members of the Disaster Cult were, they didn't dare to retaliate at this moment.

He could only grit his teeth and say, "No...no, I just got a little uncomfortable in my back from sitting for so long, so I got up to stand up for a bit."

After saying that, they sat back down angrily.

After intimidating the Disaster Cult and others, the Gentleman Penguin's gaze towards Wu Wang became slightly curious.

He knew, of course, that this guy didn't have 100,000 Q coins on him.

To put it bluntly, it would be a stretch for this guy to scrape together several thousand QQ coins.

The reason why the arbitrary price quotes earlier weren't pointed out by the gentleman penguin is that...

Naturally, it was before the auction began.

Yan Shuangying approached him again.

He also said he would help him maximize the value of most of the auction items during the auction.

This allowed him to make a fortune in the process.

The only requirement is that the gentleman penguin stand up for them when others question their assets.

The facts are exactly as Yan Shuangying said.

Apart from the initial Azure Gate and the Destiny Shuttle that the Disaster Cult acquired in the middle.

All the other auction items on display so far have been sold, and even the Gentleman Penguin was considered to have reached its maximum value.

Not a single item was found at the auction that was a bargain.

But now things seem to be a little off.

In the opinion of Gentleman Penguin, no matter how mysterious the origin of the [Abyss Relic] in his hand is, it can only fetch around 40,000 Q coins at most.

Yan Shuangying is now asking for 100,000 Q coins, if no one bids against him.

How should this situation be handled?

The gentleman penguin's expression immediately became playful.

He had already figured out how to deal with Yan Shuangying if he messed things up.

Unexpectedly, just when everyone thought that Yan Shuangying might be having another episode of her illness,

The price quoted by a small penguin left them speechless:

"Bid number 250 offers 110000 QQ coins!"

110,000! The Disaster Cult actually offered 110,000!
"Are you crazy... Quick, pinch your cheek to see if you're dreaming."

"President... could you pinch your own cheek? It really hurts."

Sitting next to the witch was the "World" card from the Major Arcana of the Tarot, who was also Wang Xianzhi, whom Wu Wang had encountered in the dungeon.

As a strategist in the Tarot Club, she naturally had to attend such an event.

When she saw her president's chair covered in paint, Yan Shuangying already had a bad feeling about what was to come when she appeared in the square.

But thinking that this was Wanbaolou, which was under the control of Wanxiang Shangzun, even Yan Shuangying shouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

But it was clear that I had underestimated this bastard's ability to cause trouble.

His repeated malicious bids and the extravagant spending when he won the "Swallowing Thief" completely altered the emotions of everyone in the auction house with his every move.

[World] looked at Wu Wang and found that his eyes were fixed on the Disaster Sect.

She had seen that look in her eyes before.

It's the card-flipping game at the beginning of the "Disaster Fun Show" where you toy with your enemies like prey; it's the strategic planning that leads eliminated players from the nightmare-created dream Earth to push human civilization forward from scratch; it's the madness and excitement of driving the entire game to its breaking point in the game of finding the murderer.

Oh no, this guy's having too much fun!
For a moment, the world even felt a little sorry for the Disaster Cult, wondering how they could have provoked such an unpredictable madman.

"Hehe, I know." Wu Wang looked at the Disaster Sect and laughed, "You can't give it up."

After saying that, he slowly pressed the button to increase the price.

Immediately afterward, the members of the Disaster Cult felt a tremor in their hearts.

Because the other party directly boosted the value to 120,000 Q coins!
This is the maximum value they can offer!

Because I saved 20,000 by bidding on the [Destiny Shuttle], and I still had 50,000 left to bid on the [Swallowing Thief], plus the 50,000 I originally planned to bid on the [Abyss Relic].

These 120,000 Q coins represent the entire value held by the Disaster Cult and its members!

"No, that's not all."

Suddenly, Elder Yun and Wu Wang, who was in the corner, said in unison:
“We (you) also have our own assets in the backpack.”

Upon hearing this, the other four members of the Disaster Cult felt a chill run down their spines.

Yes, in a sense, there is no problem.

The assets used to acquire the three auction items were resources drawn from the Disaster Relief Organization; it doesn't mean that the five of them could raise 150,000 Q coins.

It's essentially public money, so it doesn't affect the money in their own pockets.

Now they're being asked to pay for their own household affairs.

This kind of thing...

For a moment, everyone seemed a little hesitant.

Elder Ke Yun said coldly, "Losing one [Devouring Thief] item only means we can't be sure the secret realm dungeon will belong to us. It doesn't mean we've lost the qualification to enter the secret realm dungeon. We can explain the failure of this auction item when we get back."

"If we don't even manage to get the [Abyss Relic] and just take the [Destiny Shuttle] back, it won't be fair to the Elders."

Although he himself was a senior figure in the Disaster Cult, second only to the cult leader in rank.

However, in addition to the rule that the most capable should be given priority, the Disaster Cult also has an Elders Council to control the overall direction of the cult.

Elder Yun may have a high level of prestige within the Elders' Council, but that does not mean he controls the council's decision-making.

This defeat may even affect his prestige.

He absolutely would not allow such a thing!
Upon hearing the words "Elders' Council," the group was reminded of their mission.

The importance of the [Abyss Relic] is even greater than that of the previous two auction items.

So, he gritted his teeth and stomped his foot.

The members of the Disaster Cult exchanged all the valuable items in their backpacks for Q coins.

Snapped--

Elder Yun also put the items from his backpack into the bag.

Press the price increase option hard.

"Bid number 250 offers 150000 QQ coins!"

Five people pooled together 30,000 Q coins.

To be honest, this is already among the top tier of players in the ordinary Necropolis player group.

Excluding the bizarre situation Yan Shuangying just described, where she single-handedly produced 100,000 Q coins, which is incomprehensible to others.

This is the level that top players can truly achieve alone under real circumstances.

But the 30,000 Q coins also completely exposed the true nature of these five individuals.

"150000 QQ coins per time!"

"150000 QQ coins twice!"

"150000 QQ coins three times!"

Bang— "Congratulations to player number 250 for successfully trading the [Abyss Relic]!"

The moment the gavel struck the auction table.

The gentleman penguin's tone was slightly cheerful and excited.

He truly never expected that a broken rock could fetch such a high price!
Suddenly, I don't think Yan Shuangying is so hateful anymore.

The bastard who just made me lose 80,000 yuan now seems so kind.

Wu Wang also stood up and gave a thumbs up in the direction of the Disaster Sect.

He praised with great certainty, "As expected of an organization that single-handedly wreaked havoc on all players of the Calamity, you have such a deep foundation. You took out 150,000 Q coins without batting an eye. Alas, a poor guy like me can never compete with the hidden power of your organizations. I really liked this stone, but I can only give it to you with tears in my eyes."

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do; we've been set up by capital."

His praise and remarks sounded extremely sharp to everyone on the Disaster Relief Cult's side.

What do you mean, he just pulled out 150,000 Q coins without even blinking? Our hearts are bleeding!
Never before had their anger reached this level.

How can anyone be so despicable!
The other organizations at the auction were barely able to contain their laughter.

Besides the three main families, the members of these organizations have also been persecuted by the Disaster Cult to varying degrees.

After all, if you encounter members of the Calamity Cult in a dungeon, and the dungeon itself is already difficult to conquer, these guys will cause trouble and try to kill everyone. Normal Calamity players are at a huge disadvantage and it is almost impossible for them to get anything good out of the Calamity Cult.

Now we finally see the people of the Disaster Cult suffer a major setback.

Anyone who came would burst into laughter.

"Humph!"

Even Elder Yun found it hard to bear being stared at with mocking eyes by everyone under such circumstances.

He simply snorted coldly and led everyone to get up and leave.

They didn't need anything else.

Staying here any longer would just be a waste of time.

It would be better to go back and thoroughly investigate the background of this guy named Yan Shuangying.

"Why did you leave? Did you run out of money?"

"Hey, if you don't have money, just say so. There are so many rich people sitting here, lend it to them! Look, in the first row, that old-fashioned scholar, his wallet is bigger than you can imagine! You can borrow his wallet."

"Here's what we'll do: if you mention my name, we'll give you a 15% discount on the interest."

As the members of the Disaster Cult walked towards the exit, their fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

I dare not turn back, I absolutely dare not turn back.

It's obvious who said those things behind my back.

Everyone was afraid that if they turned around, they might accidentally attack that bastard.

"You little rascal, we'll have plenty of time in the future."

Finally, as Elder Yun disappeared at the end of the corridor, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and utter a harsh threat towards the crowd.

It’s so frustrating!
When has the Disaster Relief Cult ever been mocked like this?! What a humiliation!

After watching them leave in anger, Wu Wang sat back down in his chair and put the megaphone back into his backpack.

This scene made others twitch at the corners of their mouths.

Yes, even those from the Disaster Cult could still hear the sound at the end of the exit corridor, because Wu Wang was shouting through a megaphone.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, although some people have left, our feast is not over yet."

"Next, the item to be auctioned is—[Key of the Void]"

Starting bid: 500 QQ coins!

The gentleman penguin's voice brought everyone back to their senses.

At the same time, a bronze key appeared in the hands of Wan Shi Tong on the adjacent booth.

It was none other than the key that Gentleman Penguin had mentioned to Wu Wang before, the key to unlocking special dungeons and obtaining the crucial item "When People Leave, Tea Grows Cold".

Snapped--

"Bid number 666 offers 510 QQ coins!"

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. I may be poor, but I'm not lacking in ambition. Although I know I can't compete with organizations like yours, I still want to start something. So, whichever friend wins this key, could you please call my name when you use it? At least let me feel a sense of participation."

"Of course, if my friends are willing to part with the key, I will not make things difficult for them during the subsequent auction."

"I've had enough fun."

"I hope no more friends will pop up that make me want to play around."

It was that familiar number again, and that exasperatingly high price.

Previously, the bids were alarmingly high, but now they're just barely above the starting price, making people laugh in exasperation.

Screw you, you may be poor but you're full of ambition!
Who just bid 100,000 Q coins for the "Swallowing Thief"? And who was it that demanded 120,000 to force the Disaster Cult to reveal their true colors?
While everyone remained silent, they pondered the last few words Yan Shuangying had said.

Is this... the end of the farce?
After the auction began, they initially thought that Yan Shuangying was acting as a shill in collusion with certain organizations.

In the end, it turned out that this jerk was either just being a jerk.

Or he might actually be a shill for Wanbao Auction House itself!
By now, some people had already noticed that something was wrong.

Because Yan Shuangying's previous performance had been continuously increasing the value of each auction item.

But he hadn't taken any photos of himself before "The Thief"!
Furthermore, the exorbitant price of the [Swallow Thief] item is simply beyond the reach of a lone wolf player.

Even after that, when Yan Shuangying and the Disaster Sect were bidding against each other for the [Abyss Relic], he shouted out a high price of 120,000 Q coins, but was still not stopped by [Wanxiang Shangzun].

That proves that either he really has that many remaining assets, or his bid was made with the authorization of [Wanxiang Shangzun]!
Compared to the former, people felt that the latter was more acceptable.

After all, it's terrifying that a lone wolf player has so much wealth; they don't even dare to think about what it means.

Then let's accept the speculation that Yan Shuangying is a person of [Wanxiang Shangzun].

Perhaps the [Thief Devourer] was simply taken back by the [Myriad Manifestations Merchant].

From this perspective, Yan Shuangying herself did not profit at all.

The major organizations and forces are paying the highest price.

The only one who can reap the benefits is actually Wanbao Auction House itself!
It's [Wanxiang Shangzun] squeezing the last bit of value out of the auction items!
But it's certainly impossible to do this for all auction items.

There must be a space for truly fair bidding among the participants.

Always leave a way out for others.

The bidding between Yan Shuangying and Zaijiao is basically out in the open.

The premium for the last item, the [Abyss Relic], was so high it was practically unbelievable.

Raising prices like this after their identities have been revealed makes it seem like they're treating everyone like fools.

Therefore, Yan Shuangying has now found a way to back down.

Everyone just tacitly agreed to it.

In any case, in a sense, only two things were actually won by Yan Shuangying.

Then give it to him.

If there are still organizations competing with Yan Shuangying for the same price.

This is tantamount to slapping the face of [Wanxiang Shangzun].

It is estimated that this organization will soon face Yan Shuangying's aggressive and targeted price increases and harassment.

No one is foolish enough to cause trouble for themselves at this critical juncture.

Then, another bizarre scene unfolded at the auction—

After the starting bid of 510 Q coins was announced, almost equivalent to the initial bid, the price was raised.

There was silence.

No organization or dungeon boss chose to bid.

As time passed, the gentleman penguin could only call out three prices before the gavel slammed heavily onto the auction stage. Congratulations to Yan Shuangying for snatching up the [Key of the Void] at an extremely low price.

Finally, he smiled helplessly in Yan Shuangying's direction and said, "You're really something."

Clearly, even the gentleman penguin hadn't expected Yan Shuangying to acquire the Key to Nothingness in this way.

Wu Wang shrugged and smiled in response:
"Thank you for the compliment, this is called outsmarting the enemy."

"After all, I'm a penniless wretch."

Apart from the gentleman penguin, no one on the field took his joke seriously.

After all, who would think Yan Shuangying is a poor wretch?

He's a man backed by the [Myriad Manifestations Merchant]! (End of Chapter)
