The Overlord Alliance leader, Domineering Peerless, had long noticed the commotion here. When he saw the equipment and skill books on Tidus's stall, he decisively offered double the price!
What a joke...
In the entire 950 Novice Village, with over a thousand guild players, they only had 1 piece of Black Iron equipment...
This [Tyrant's] stall had 2 Black Iron pieces, 7 white pieces, and two decent skill books all at once. If he could buy them, it would immediately widen the gap with the [Blood Rose Garden] and [United Dynasty].
"Uh... about this?"
Tidus was overjoyed inside. Two guild masters competing to buy his stuff, this was a great opportunity to make them bid against each other!
However, he still put on a troubled expression and said, "How about this, both guild masters make offers, and the highest bidder wins. What do you think?!"
"You..."
Crimson Rose glared at Tidus. The transaction had already been agreed upon, yet the other party changed his mind at the last moment. This really damaged his image as a skilled player.
Well, [Tyrant's] image in her heart didn't seem so glorious anymore...
"I'll offer 3 times!"
Crimson Rose said, biting her cherry-red lips.
"My Overlord Alliance offers 4 times!"
"5 times!"
"6 times!"
"7 times!"
...
The two guild masters were full of animosity and quickly got into a bidding war.
Overlord Alliance was an established online gaming guild in the East Coast region, backed by a listed company with substantial financial resources. This time, they had made a major push into the God World online game.
Blood Rose Garden was a guild that had emerged in recent years. Guild master Crimson Rose had a mysterious background, and the guild members were all beautiful women...
Finally, when they both reached 10 times the original price, they stopped competing...
10 times the price meant 38,000 gold coins. For the two major guilds, this was just pocket change, but if word got out that they'd spent tens of thousands of gold coins on two Black Iron equipment pieces, countless players would probably call them idiots...
"Little guy, an extra friend means an extra path. Sell the equipment to my Overlord Alliance, and in the future, I'll protect you in God World so you can walk sideways. Otherwise, if you offend a major guild, this game won't be fun anymore."
Domineering Peerless said with a slightly cold gaze. His words clearly carried a threatening tone.
"Tyrant, don't be afraid of the Overlord Alliance. The young ladies of the Blood Rose Garden will look after you in the future, rest assured!"
Crimson Rose immediately said.
At this time, other players also noticed what was happening here and pointed and whispered...
Many players who had misjudged earlier, thinking Tidus was a noob, were now stamping their feet and beating their chests in regret. If they had bought the equipment first and resold it, they would have made a killing.
However, Tidus's predicament also gave them a sense of schadenfreude...
Because no matter who Tidus sold the equipment to, he would offend another major online gaming guild. Given the major guilds' cold and ruthless style of conduct, this [Tyrant] would probably be hunted down in the future.
Tidus didn't think much about it and said, "38,000 gold coins, all equipment and skill books bundled, sold to the Blood Rose Garden."
Hearing this, Crimson Rose couldn't help but raise her snow-white chin happily, showing a victor's smile. "Haha, Tyrant, it seems you have pretty good judgment. Our Blood Rose Garden definitely has more potential than the Overlord Alliance. Your choice of us..."
"Sorry..."
Tidus interrupted the talkative female guild leader. "I'm selling to you only because your chest is bigger. Well, can we trade now..."
"You... pervert...!"
A trace of anger appeared on Crimson Rose's face. "Hmph, hurry up and trade. If it weren't for the fact that you're selling me equipment, I'd definitely make you taste my Hammer of Punishment..."
Alright...
Tidus's eyes brightened slightly. This beautiful guild leader's angry appearance was actually... quite cute...
On the side, watching the two who seemed to be flirting, Domineering Peerless felt rather awkward. He coughed twice. "Fine, fine, Tyrant, Blood Rose Garden, I'll remember you both. My Overlord Alliance will not forget today's humiliation. In the future, we will repay it tenfold!"
"Uh, you've read too many chuunibyou light novels..."
Tidus complained weakly.
"Don't worry, Tyrant. Although your character is a bit lacking, our Blood Rose Garden will definitely keep our promise and protect you from being bullied by the Overlord Alliance! You can also grind monsters and level up with our guild's young ladies..."
Crimson Rose consoled him.
Envious voices rose from all around.
Everyone knew that Blood Rose Garden members were all supermodel-level beauties. Grinding monsters with Rose's young ladies would be too blissful, who knows, it might even develop into love over time...
"Sorry, I don't need a woman's protection. Well, we just have a simple transactional relationship. Please don't have any extra thoughts..."
Tidus looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and refused.
Heh, how could Tidus not understand this woman's thoughts? She was the first to approach him, which meant she must have noticed him early on. Her invitation for him to grind monsters with the Rose young ladies was nothing more than a way to probe his background.
"Bah, Tyrant, who has a transactional relationship with you? Straight male cancer, narcissist, I hope you never find a girlfriend in your entire life..."
Crimson Rose bit her lips, hands on her slim waist, looking completely furious.
This transaction was just a small interlude.
The intense Boss battle continued. Under the combined efforts of thousands of players, the Gold Boar King's health gradually decreased bit by bit...
The Boss health was down to 15% remaining...
14% remaining...
13% remaining...
12% remaining...
When the Boss health dropped to 10%, which was 50,000 HP, all the players went crazy...
The Boss was about to die. As long as they could snatch the final blow, the Boss's experience and rewards would all be theirs! And from what they knew, this Gold Boar King was not only the sole hidden Boss in a Novice Village across the entire East Coast server, but also the first hidden Boss to spawn in the entire North America region!
Therefore, the rewards must be extremely generous!
The players all maximized their damage output, frantically launching attack after attack...
However, at this moment, the members of major online gaming guilds on the scene, [Overlord Alliance], [Blood Rose Garden], [United Dynasty], and others, all tacitly stopped their attacks at the same time. Then, these guild members turned their weapons toward the solo players nearby.
