Chapter 15: Continuous Bidding, Tycoon
"Who's this Buyer No. 8? They just threw in four hundred essential life supplies!"
"Wow, such a tycoon! Four hundred essential life supplies, that's enough for me to live on for so long!"
"This is a hidden tycoon! Who knows who this tycoon is? I want to be his woman!"
"Heh, you little slut, what do you think you are? Are you as pretty as me? You, wanting to be a tycoon's woman, dream on! I'm the tycoon's woman! Buyer No. 8, if you can see this, please private chat me, I'm really good-looking!"
"You, get lost! How dare you say you're pretty! Buyer No. 8, look at me, I used to be a web celebrity with five hundred thousand followers! I can be your lover, I know every position!"
"Five hundred thousand zombie followers!" Daniel clenched his fists tightly, his eyes widened as he stared at the screen filled with discussions, his expression turning fierce.
"Damn it, who is this person? Actually snatching the thing Daniel has set his eyes on, is he out of his mind! Alright, alright, I don't believe it, do you really have that many supplies? I'll compete with wealth, I, Daniel, have never been afraid of anyone!"
Daniel directly bid, "Four hundred and fifty essential life supplies!"
He just didn't believe that this mysterious Buyer No. 8 could still afford the bid.
This bid once again set the public channel on fire.
"Oh my! Daniel has raised another fifty supplies, he's such a tycoon! Everyone who owns this blueprint must be ecstatic!"
"Buyer No. 5 raises their paddle, four hundred and fifty essential life supplies."
Alex looked at the bidding above, completely unfazed.
He had nothing else, just a lot of bottled water.
While others felt agony over contributing even one supply, he didn't care at all. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Playing with him was like being blind to the obvious!
"Bidding! Five hundred essential life supplies!"
"Buyer No. 8 raises their paddle, five hundred essential life supplies."
Everyone stared at the numbers on the screen, their breathing involuntarily becoming heavier.
Though it was just a simple three-digit number, the food it represented was enough to drive people crazy.
"What? He's still raising the bid? Who exactly is this tycoon? How come I've never heard of such a person around here?"
"This is incredible! Does he own a production factory? Is he a factory manager?"
"This is insane! I bet when he was transported here, he was in a food factory or a water plant!"
"No way! Things in this world are basically unusable. We can only gather supplies from supply crates! And the higher the grade of the supply crate, the more zombies there are, everyone knows that! More supplies also mean it's harder to obtain!"
Daniel also widened his eyes, incredulously staring at the numbers on the screen.
How is this possible?
Five hundred supplies, and he could easily produce them.
Who on earth is he?
"Damn it, whoever you are, you can't snatch things from me, Daniel! What I set my eyes on belongs to me, whoever it is, can't snatch from me!"
Daniel gritted his teeth and shouted, "Raise the bid for me! Five hundred and fifty supplies!"
Hearing this, a man in black next to him suddenly panicked.
"Daniel, our supplies are running low. If we continue to bid, then our basic survival will be at stake!"
"Yeah, Daniel, we can't bid anymore! Otherwise, we'll have to go out and fight those terrifying zombies for supplies, and we'll have to go to places where there are a lot of zombies, it's not worth it! Who knows how long it will take to gather enough materials for the gold blueprint!"
"Daniel, please think it over! It's okay for us to go hungry, but your noble body, we mustn't let it go hungry! If we can't find enough supplies, we're all done for!"
Daniel roared, "Get out of here! I don't believe he still has that many supplies!"
"No one! Can snatch things from me, Daniel!!"
"Buyer No. 5 raises their paddle, five hundred and fifty essential life supplies."
Alex frowned.
This Daniel seems to have a pretty solid background, being able to gather so many supplies.
Looks like he's not someone to mess with.
But well...
Alex raised the bid again, utterly indifferent.
"Buyer No. 8 raises their paddle, six hundred essential life supplies."
"What! Six hundred essential life supplies!! This is too..."
This time, the entire channel fell silent.
They were all deeply shocked.
It's only been a few days, yet someone could gather so many supplies.
Who on earth is this person?
And, without any hesitation, they raised the bid.
Even Daniel hesitated for a while before raising the bid.
On the other hand, Buyer No. 8 almost followed Daniel's bid closely.
No matter how much Daniel raised, they raised the same amount, completely disregarding the requirement of at least ten supplies for each bid.
It's as if, in their eyes, these supplies were just a drop in the bucket...
Daniel's eyes burned with resentment.
He didn't want to give up like this.
But when he tried to bid again, he was notified that he didn't have enough supplies.
Daniel stared fiercely at the screen in front of him.
"I want to see who you are..."
This time, Daniel didn't bid against Alex's paddle.
His essential life supplies were insufficient, and he felt powerless.
The virtual auctioneer began to prompt: "Buyer No. 8 bids six hundred essential life supplies, are there any other buyers bidding?"
After a while, the auctioneer spoke again: "If there are no other buyers raising their paddles, then please allow me to begin the countdown."
[Six hundred essential life supplies, first time.]
[Six hundred essential life supplies, second time.]
[Six hundred essential life supplies, third time.]
Bang! As the auction hammer fell, the deal was sealed!
Alex became the winner of the gold-level blueprint: Barrier Wall.
Since there was only one item up for auction this time, the auction ended as soon as the first item was sold, and the auction buyers began to leave the auction room one after another.
[This auction has concluded successfully. Congratulations to Player No. 10086 for winning the bid and obtaining the gold-level blueprint: Barrier Wall.]
The chat channel fell silent, then someone started speaking.
