Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 59 Auction

Ninja Beginner Village

The upcoming auction is captivating all players, especially the major factions, who are determined to acquire both the resource maps and clan tokens.

Everyone understands the significance of the family token.

The three family tokens signify that three major forces will emerge as the true powers recognized by the game rules.

Although it is clear,

These three family tokens are just the beginning. Given the nature of game merchants, it is very likely that more family tokens will appear in the future.

However, the significance of the first batch is ultimately different.

Just like the Mist Village Alliance that was the first to kill the Ghost General, although they suffered great losses and almost bankrupted the Mist Village by spending money on in-game purchases.

But the gains were equally enormous, allowing them to establish a firm foothold in the game, attracting countless casual players, and remaining the largest force in the game to this day.

the first.

It has always had a huge appeal and influence.

This is also why Fang Yi chose to auction the first three family tokens instead of setting a price directly.

At that tense moment,

An event has occurred that has shocked all the players.

"The leader of the Merchant Alliance has been murdered in the real world!"

"I heard that some powerful forces, fearing the wealth of the Merchant Alliance, secretly assassinated the leader of the Merchant Alliance in the game in real life."

"The Merchant Alliance is now a disorganized mess, all vying for the leadership position and harboring their own ulterior motives. They probably have no interest in auctioning off the family tokens anymore. This move is truly ruthless."

One player shook his head repeatedly and said, "He can only blame himself. Although he is a merchant player, his combat power is definitely no weaker than that of a Jonin who can sit in the position of leader. He won't die even if he makes a little noise. It's his own fault for not even being willing to buy a protective shield."

The protective shield can protect the player's physical body during gameplay.

The price wasn't expensive, but I never expected that the head of the Merchant Alliance would be so reluctant to spend reward points to buy it. He deserved to die.

This incident led to a sharp increase in the number of players purchasing protective shields.

No one can guarantee they won't be ambushed. If it's because you're less skilled, that's one thing, but if you're inexplicably assassinated while logging into the game just to save on rewards, you'll regret it to the core.

"The Merchant Alliance should have been the most likely force to win the family token at auction, what a pity."

No merchant is without cunning.

Through buying and selling, this group of merchants, who originally had lowly status in the real world, banded together for mutual support and eventually gained wealth comparable to that of the five great ninja nations.

After all, merchant players are not good at combat. All kinds of equipment and items pass through their hands and are then sold. In the process of maneuvering, their strength does not improve much, but their wallets keep getting bigger.

"Although the remaining forces, the Mist Hidden Alliance, are large, their financial resources are probably the weakest due to their repeated hunting of powerful sources of pollution."

"I have high hopes for the Iwagakure forces. Although they don't have many players, they are all elites from Iwagakure Village. They might go all out for the clan token this time!"

"Have you all forgotten about the newly emerged organization, Dawn? The wealth of that woman who claims to be a noblewoman from the Land of Rain is simply a mystery. Seriously, is the Land of Rain really that rich in reality?"

This auction was irrelevant to most players.

They all knew this was a contest between major powers, and some players even ran betting pools to see who would win the family token.

Surprisingly, Konoha Village is the most popular choice. Players believe that Konoha, which has been quiet for a long time, must have plenty of supplies at this time, and may be planning something big.

[Auction Begins]

At the bottom of each player's panel, a circular hammer icon appears; touching it allows them to enter the auction house.

In a flash,

All players can see the items being auctioned, as well as information about the bidders.

at this time,

The members of the Fog Shadow Alliance gathered together.

Mei Terumi's brows were furrowed tightly. Just as the players had guessed, Kirigakure really didn't have much money to spare.

However, they possessed a large amount of low-level equipment, so taking advantage of the Merchant Alliance's relaxed vigilance, they dispatched one of their Ninja Swordsmen to kill the Merchant Alliance's leader in reality.

This left the merchant alliance leaderless, with everyone vying for the assets left behind by their leader after his death, leaving them no time to participate in the competition for family tokens.

They took the opportunity to sell all the low-level equipment to merchants at low prices, thus raising a large amount of funds.

It would be a huge loss if we couldn't snatch a family token.

"Lord Mizukage, the funds are ready."

"Alright, no matter what, we must obtain the family token!"

The other ninja villages also used their own methods to raise enough funds, waiting for the auction to start before rushing in.

[First item (Dead Soul Forest [East]) Lease right for 30 days]: Starting bid 5000 reward points.

The large screen slowly scrolled, revealing the first item.

The players' breathing became heavier; they all knew the value of this item.

The Dead Soul Forest is a vast forest that covers the entire Dead Soul Mountain Range. It consists of four regions: east, west, south, and north, and contains abundant resources such as Dead Soul Wood and Ghostly Soil.

Before the ghost mages were hunted, large areas were occupied by the ghost legion.

Players who want to gather resources are at risk of being attacked by the Ghost Legion. If they are not careful, they will have to return to the city, and it will take half a day to run back.

But now,

The game merchant actually planned out a central area. After renting it, players could build defensive walls to prevent ghosts from entering the rental area, and all ghost auras within the rental area would be dispelled, preventing them from condensing into ghosts.

This means that large areas of the Ghost Forest will become safe zones, and those who win the auction can mine freely.

[Loess: 8000 reward points]

[Sunagakure Elder: 10,000 reward points]

[Light Hidden in the Mist: 12,000 Reward Points]

The auction price was quickly driven up.

Mei Terumi clenched her fist and said, "Chojuro, gather all the reward points from the Hidden Mist ninjas and promise that the village will compensate them afterwards."

Although the lease term is only 30 days

However, everyone can see clearly that a full 30 days of independent mining rights, based on the resources extracted, is enough to obtain a huge amount of reward points, and then these reward points can be used to firmly occupy this gold mine.

What appears to be a 30-day lease is, in reality, a permanent mining right, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

"Yes."

Chojuro nodded solemnly and quickly began contacting the players in Kirigakure.

Ultimately, Mei Terumi acquired the lease rights to the Dead Soul Forest (East) at a very painful price.

[Mistlight has acquired the 30-day lease rights to (Dead Soul Forest [East]) with 12 reward points. Congratulations!]

Black text appeared before all players' eyes.

"The Hidden Mist Village is really rich and powerful. I heard they're still training casual players and they even have money left over to auction off resource maps."

"The sea is full of treasures, unlike Sunagakure, which is so poor its underwear is leaking holes. Be jealous!"

"You bastard, how dare you mock our Sunagakure! Give me your address, and I'll kill you!"

"I still have faith in Konoha; they're definitely going to pull off something big!"

Amidst the discussions among all the players, the subsequent auction items were gradually revealed.

The remaining Dead Soul Forest was divided between Cloud Village and Rock Village, with Sunagakure Village narrowly winning the smallest piece of Dead Soul Forest in the area through a bidding war for 90,000 reward points.

Another player, nicknamed "The Rich Man of the Land of Waves," was originally a bidder. He was very wealthy, but he was warned by Sunagakure and threatened with death by massacring the Land of Waves, which forced him to give up the bid.
