Chapter 114 - Auction (5). [ Plot Thickens ]
For the next segments Rudra let Karna take the lead . Men are unreasonable people who are superstitious , although Rudra did not know the exact reason , he felt Karna was an incredibly lucky man. And should he bid for the unknown items and that there will be something unexpectedly good coming out of it.
Karna much obliged Rudra's request, actually he really wanted to get the bidding feeling , he was really exited to take part in the auction.
There were (4) incomplete designs and Rudra asked him to buy all four of them .
There was no information on the incomplete designs. Hence it could be any material . It could be design of a sword or design of some Armor or even design of some accessories like necklaces. One had absolutely no idea what may pop up from the incomplete designs.
However one thing was for sure , it would be incomplete. Half a design or one third of a design . If the blacksmith and engineer working together are talented enough , then they may figure out the rest.
But for most complicated designs , it was impossible, and usually the self guessed modifications would lead to an inferior overall product. Hence it was better not to waste time on it.
Naturally even the alliance members were very much interested in trying their luck on these items .
The incomplete designs were being sold individually, hence theoritically without any information , all four should have gone for the same price. However in reality that was not the case.
[ Incomplete design] ( part ?/?) ( Grade : ??? ) : An incomplete design of an?object.
Initial price : 60,000 gold
Minimum increment : 1500 gold
Buyout price 200,000 gold.
The bidding started ...
60,000
66,000
75,000
90,000
1,00,500 was the final bid from a second rate guild , it was then that the alliance made their first big bid.
1,40,000 from VIP box 2
Karna was just standing there , watching the entire bidding process , somehow he had frozen , he could not process how to bid currently as his heart wished to make minimum increment , however his mind told him to make a big increment to make his interest clear.
Then there was also the reputation of VIP1 to take care of, as Rudra was there making buyouts after buyouts.
Then he thought ' ooo f*** the reputation , im gonna do as my heart says'.
He bid 141500 gold!
Everyone in the audience was shocked , this was not VIP1 's style , he usually only did buyouts , yet right now he did minimum increment? Is he toying with VIP2?
The auctioneer announced it " We have 141500 from VIP1 , do we have 1,50,000 ? ".
150,000 gold ! Shouted scorpio , clearly pissed with the ever incessant bidding of the Elites.
There was Karna bidding 1,51,500 gold!
There was a loud laugh from everyone in the audience, everyone felt that VIP1 was just messing with VIP 2 .
In a fit of anger , Scorpio directly said , BUYOUT!
" Its a buyout for VIP 2 " , congratulations on winning the item.
The people in VIP 2 were a little annoyed at havind to buyout an item , and a little exited to see what it was.
They opened the design , it turned out to be a useless necklace
[ Pearl necklace ] ( 1/2) ( rare) : charm +1
Restrictions : female only .
Scorpio cursed their badluck ... What a useless item! They just paid 200K for it , what an absolute watse of money.
Rudra just sighed , why was his vice guild master such a huge miser.
Rudra said " Ohh goddamnit Karna , you single handedly have brought back more than 20 million gold to the guild , we have a budget of over 50 , please overcome your base instincts and buyout the remaining items ".
He absolutely admonished Karna and asked him to buyout the rest 3 designs immediately.
Karna wanted to argue , but also he understood , that yeah the Elite's were ridiculously rich and they need not worry for a sum of 600K gold .
He did as he was told, buying out the other 3 designs.
The alliance were feeling happy inside , as they hoped the Elites paid a huge price for getting absolutely nothing in return , however boy o boy were they wrong.
The 3 designs turned out to be....
[ Automatic arrow shooting ballista ] ( 1/3) ( Epic) : A piece of the design of automatic arrow shooting ballista .
Arrow capacity in one round : 2000
Reload time : 1 minute.
Restriction : Cannot load heavy javellins .
It was a damn good design ..... Rudra's eyes almost popped out of his sockets when he saw it.
Karna was damn lucky! , This was a great design.
Rudra now anticipated the second design even more.
[ Automatic arrow shooting ballista ] ( 2/3) ( Epic) : A piece of the design of automatic arrow shooting ballista .
Arrow capacity in one round : 2000
Reload time : 1 minute.
Restriction : Cannot load heavy javellins .
WHATT THE HELL.... KARNA'S LUCK WAS WAYY TOO GOOD!
Rudra's heart was beating fast now ..... He dint dare to even dream that what would happen if the last design was also an automatic arrow shooting ballista ..... But what if ..... Just what if...?
[ Automatic arrow shooting ballista ] ( 3/3) ( Epic) : A piece of the design of automatic arrow shooting ballista .
Arrow capacity in one round : 2000
Reload time : 1 minute.
Restriction : Cannot load heavy javellins .
IT?HAPPENED!!!! HE HAD THE COMPLETE DESIGN!
Rudra jumped out of his seat , as he tackled Karna into a hug ........ He dint have words for this event.
Karna's luck was just heaven defying .... Had anyone else opened the items , it would not have turned out this way , Rudra was sure of it.
The item was wayy too good , Rudra dint even care about the rest of the auction , just this score alone would make his guild untouchable in the near future.
Untouchable , unstoppable , a true overlord!!!!

Neatwit glared at the man ..... he was angry!
