Chapter 545 System auction (5)
The second phase of the auction continued , as many interesting items popped up on the stage , including one item which Rudra bought out once he inspected the stats of the item on his room's personal screen.
They were kneecaps that decreased stamina consumption and provided protection against cut damage from sword attacks .
They were made from white lion's muscles and skin using a special weaving technique , hence were extremely light and durable .
They were absolutely worth the 80,000 coin buyout pricetag and Rudra bid for them without hesitation.
Apart from that there was also a very interesting item called [ Spider tears ] ( dark gold ) , an extremely combustible substance suitable for making alchemy products.
Rudra was wondering if he could experiment with the item to come up with some new sort of bomb, however before he could bid for the item king room 3 bid for the item , hence he could only shake his head and let it go even if he wanted it .
The auction had a first come first serve rule for the rooms of the same class hence since Rudra was not first , there was no point in bidding anymore.
Moreover every item saw a budding frenzy as the bidders to items ratio was insanely apart , almost every item was sold for a buyout , with one of three items that were bought out being poached by the trumping bid of the upper VIP seats.
This made it so that usually the VIP and VIP+ guys won their preferred items easily , as the king rooms hardly participated in an item or two.
Although the entire auction arena was interested in knowing the identity of the VIP rooms , the excitement was particularly high for the identity of those within the VIP+ and the King rooms who could be considered elites amongst elites.
Uptill now the only VIP room whose identity Rudra knew for sure was VIP room 9 where Adam was seated bidding for the Grey international guild , the subsidiary of the Elites , as Adam had private- messaged him regarding this once his room was assigned and told him to maybe not interfere in his bids for as far as possible , or buy items that he wanted should he be outbid by a VIP+ member , and Rudra was more than happy to oblige .
Rudra was also a part owner of the grey international main guild now and the guilds prosperity was one of his concerns as well. Moreover he never mistreated his underlings as not only did he buy two items for Adam , he also refused to take payment from him , as he was more than happy to spend 200,000 coins for his sub-guild.
It wasn't untill item 147 , the skill that Rudra had his eye on came around that he felt things getting interesting.
As the moment the skill came up , VIP3 chose to press buyout in an instant!
This was dronacharya's box , as he had bid for the item knowing that it was one of the items Rudra coveted in the past life and had won over in the auction making it an integral part of his moveset.
It was one of the moves that Rudra had used in his eventual rematch with parallax , where he coupled the one leg leap with the overhead slash to apply the finishing blow to parallax.
It was a vivid memory in dronacharya 's mind , as it was one of Parallax's most dreaded moments in his past life. Not only did he fail to defeat Rudra after a long time of waiting and struggling to improve , moreover he lost with only one move and that to without having the chance to show his class.
It was one of the greatest regrets in Parallax's memory , and one of the reasons why dronacharya felt compelled to press buy for the item the moment he saw it.
He wanted it at all costs , which he made clear by the bid he placed . However much to his dismay his bid was instantly overshadowed by king room number two as Rudra's rank completely outranked dronacharya's as he lost the bid for this item.
Rudra cursed when he pressed the buyout option for 1 million gold , as he glared at VIP3 room in anger.
Rudra was a multitrillionare now , hence he could definitely splurge on items that he wanted , however overpaying for any item was never a good feeling hence he was angry over how the situation turned out to be.
The item was sold at a whopping 1 million gold coins , and it was an astronomical sum for a (rare) rated skill , that made the entire arena buzz with heated talks.
Not only a VIP room , but the king room also wanted the skill that seemed so ordinary to everyone else.
However because of this move by dronacharya , Rudra now had his eyes on VIP3 , who so mindlessly bid for an item that was not even worth 1/4th the price that he paid for it.
This would turn out to be dronacharya's undoing as Rudra was pissed about having to pay such a huge amount for this skill , as now he felt like making the life of VIP3 miserable just because he could do it.
Rudra had decided that no matter what item VIP3 made a bid for , he would bid for it as well , with him making pay VIP 3 for this item.
Usually Rudra was not so petty , however something about VIP3 made him feel repulsed for no reason at all , as he felt like it was an ant that needed to be crushed.
Dronacharya on the other hand realized his worst fear , as he connected the dots between Rudra not entering the event dungeon and there being 3 King rooms this time around in the auction and king room 2 bidding for the item that usually no-one else would bid for.
He had a strong gut feeling that king room 2 housed the leader of the elites , as this one small exchange had sealed his fate , changing his destiny forever.
