MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master
chapter-117

The next item up was the mallet.

[ Hephaestus's Mallet ] ( dark gold ) ( upgradable ) : a must have for blacksmiths , the mallet was designed keeping the forging god as an idol , increases crafting efficiency by 25% .

Initial bid : 3 million gold.

Minimum increment : 100K gold

Buyout price : no buyout.

Fatty kalash was salivating for this item . He really wanted to have it ... He looked at Rudra with those puppy eyes that only he could muster .. the same one he had used since childhood to ask for food from Rudra's tiffin .

Rudra was absolutely powerless to that gaze , he himself had absolutely no interest in the item , however he knew fatty deserved it. He had worked hard for the guild , and had done a really good job in managing the lifestyle stores .

Rudra rolled his eyes saying " Fine! "

He placed the first bid for 3 million gold!

The second rate guilds were all out on this item , the only obstruction that might come was from the alliance in VIP box 2

But even they felt that 3 million was a little too much for a hammer. They let it pass

3 million gold went once.

3 million gold went twice .

Sold! At 3 million to VIP1

' Ha , cheaper than i thought it would be ' Rudra thought , as he was prepared to go up to 5 million for the item ..... However he got it for 3!

Kalash looked very happy with the item , as he smiled like a kid on Christmas. Rudra smiled , this was the whole point of why he made the damn guild. It was for moments like this , where the members could be genuinely happy .

The next item came up for bidding

[ A page from Demon's Diary ] : ????

Initial bidding price : 2 million gold

Minimum increment : 100K gold

Buyout price : no buyout price.

Rudra had to have this item , he already had 3 pages from Demon's Diary , and every page he came across was important ... Although up till now the three pages had shown no special effects , Rudra knew that down the line it would be something useful.

He placed the initial bid for 2 million gold.

2.1 million gold ! Came the bid from a second rate guild.

Rudra face palmed himself ..... Who was this idiot , Rudra was sure that this guy had 0 information on demon's diary ,yet he only bid to gamble on the item , seeing the ????? Description.

Rudra wanted to directly raise it to 3 million , to deter the small fishes , however if VIP2 got a whiff that he was too interested in the item. They would make him pay.

2.5 million gold Rudra bid!

It was the best number he could think of , that balanced both criteria.

As he hoped for it worked

As 2.5 million gold went once.

2.5 million gold went twice.

The item was sold to VIP1 at 2.5 million gold!

The audience was completely abuzz now , up till now in the auction , Both VIP boxes had spent close to 10 million in gold!

Now the real bidding war came , where the depth of one's resources would actually come out.

Who had the most dough in this bidding round , would be figured out now , as all of the next items were worth drooling over.

[ Spell book ] [ Endless devastation ] : turns the ground into a barren wasteland , debuffs everyone except the caster of the spell , in a 200 meter radius.

Effect 1 : -5% AGI.

Effect 2 : -5 % PHY.

Initial bidding price: 4 million gold

Minimum increment : 200K gold

Buyout price : no Buyout .

The alliance was interested in this item , and soo was Rudra .

The merit of this item was obvious as the debuff domain could be extremely useful for PVE

Especially a 200 m domain was huge.

However the drawback was also obvious , that it debuffed allies and enemies all together.

Rudra did not want this item for himself , however he knew it would be invaluable to some other guild members .

Karna

Neatwit

Medivh

One of these three could benefit hugely from having this move in their arsenal, and for all intents and purposes he would give it to them.

Rudra placed the first bid for 4 million gold.

4.4 million gold , came the shout from VIP2

Rudra nodded, he knew this would happen. Lets see who has deeper pockets , Rudra thought.

5 million ! He placed a bid

5.4 million , came the bid from VIP2

Everyone else aside , scorpio wanted the skill for himself ! He was not going to let it go easily.

However the thing really choking him currently was the overall budget of the guild ..... He could not compete head to head with the Elites , should he spend more than 6 million on the item , he should not be able to bid for any other items in the auction.

6 million , said Rudra .

Scorpio grit his teeth , as the 6 alliance guild leaders would not let him bid a penny more.

6 million gold went once.

6 million gold went twice

The item was sold for 6 million gold to VIP1!

About 16 million of the Elites budget of 55 million gold was spent .

About 10 million of the alliance's twenty had been spent.

Naturally the advantage of the Elite's funds would show , going forward now.

The next item was up for bidding.

[ Spell book ] [ Stormbringer ] : Zaps the enemy with a huge bolt of lightning , sure to trigger lightning damage.

+200% lightning damage.

50% chance to stun the target .

+5% chance to trigger critical damage.

Initial bidding price: 4 million gold

Minimum increment: 200K gold

Buyout price : no buyout!

This was an item Rudra wanted for himself .... His darkness blast was really lacking in damage output and he needed something strong in his arsenal going forward.

Rudra placed the initial bid of 4 million gold.

Yua actually wanted the item badly , however the alliance members would not allow a budget of 4 million gold for a single player item .

In the end 4 million gold went once.

4 million gold went twice

The item was sold at 4 million gold to the players in VIP1.

The next item was the intermediate mana potion recipe .

[ Potion recipe ] ( Intermediate mana potion ) : A recipe to create a potion that refill lost mana quickly .

Initial bidding price : 2 million gold .

Minimum increment : 100K gold

Buyout price : no buyout.

This was supposed to be one of the most sought after items in the entire auction , however after the Elites had the advanced mana potion recipe and capabilities of bulk production , no faction was too interested in buying the intermediate one.

Initially even Rudra was not much interested , however fatty Kalash came up with a brilliant idea that made Rudra interested in the item .

They could use real world corporate chain ideas and make sets of mana potions to sell in the shop.

A set of 3 potions. Basic , intermediate , advanced

To sell as a single unit.

In this way they would move more units gaining more profits. As they could brand it as a potion for every situation pack.

They could also use the pack mentality to vamp up the advanced mana potion sales .

As they would price the intermediate mana potions at 80 gold and advanced mana potions at 95 , everyone would feel like the intermediate mana potions were too expensive and not worth it , however they would now gladly spend the 95 gold on the advanced mana potions as they would feel , they are getting more value for their money .

Its the same logic of the small , medium and large popcorn tubs pricing in a movie theatre , the medium is priced just a little lower than the large , making every consumer go for large popcorn .

Rudra was impressed by fatty Kalash's business mind and placed the bid for 2 million gold.

Going once

Going twice .

The item was sold to VIP 1 for two million gold! .
