Reborn: Super God of War Chapter 85

Chapter 85 - Property Auction

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The Imperial City Hotel looked like The Oriental Pearl Tower, it was around 300 square meters tall. However, it was this small space that hid a top auction hall, it was also one of the few halls that could be rented!

The owner of the Imperial City Restaurant was the founding father, Grand Mage Antonio. He was a powerful Mage that comprehended the power of space.

However, all his children liked doing business, and thus to help his children, this Grand Mage almost exhausted all the mana in his body to augment space magic onto the top floor of the hotel. It expanded the narrow room into a huge space as big as 1/5 of a city.

There was still a few minutes before the auction began. Dumb Fox from Triumphant Midnight, Ghost Eyes from Hunter’s Guild, The Heavenly Shield from Ironwall Empire, Dustless from Shadow Devil Workshop, and even Angel Descent from Prague City, Forest Soul Guild from Sunshine City were all present.

Their aura on the whole fourth floor was so overwhelming that it was suffocating, unable to breathe smoothly.

Meanwhile, at the staircase, another sound could be heard.

“We’re here.”

A clear and melodious sound could be heard. Qiu Yuan looked around curiously with her iconic ponytail. The beautiful and lovely young girl attracted many people’s attention. Besides those guild leaders who had to keep a straight face to pretend to be calm and strict, most people couldn’t help but look at the direction of the sound.

Behind Qiu Yuan was Zheng Ziliang dressed in a slim fit long robe. He smiled and followed behind her, choosing a seat randomly. They sat together and talked.

Lin Jie collected his gaze in doubt and sent a message to Zheng Ziliang. “What are the both of you here for?”

Zheng Ziliang raised his head in surprise, scanning the people present. “Jie, you are really here! Where are you? Why didn’t I see you? Come and sit together.”

“Lower your head,” Lin Jie said, “What are you here for?”

Zheng Ziliang quietened down obediently and said, “To buy property!”

“Buy property?”

“Yes, you know that Sky Provisions Shop in the City of Light, right? I heard that its net profit was up to dozens of gold coins every day! It can definitely make a fortune if it invites investments or sells its naming rights,” Zheng Ziliang said as he smiled, “I am planning to buy a shop and put the Sky Provisions Shop down! How about that? Want in?”

“Do your head.” Lin Jie smiled bitterly and said seriously, “Those participating in the auction are all big bosses from guilds, try not to provoke them. If a shop really caught your eye, then remember to equip the Hermit Helmet. After buying the Land Deed, go offline immediately.”

“Is it really that scary?” Zheng Ziliang scratched his head.

“Listen to me!” Lin Jie said solemnly.

Lin Jie saw Zheng Ziliang and Qiu Yuan whispering in the distance, and heaved a sigh of relief in ease, continuing to drink. Something seems to be wrong with Baili Changcheng, he was keeping a straight face. If someone walked past him and looked at him, his blade-like aura would erupt.

“What happened to you?” Lin Jie wondered.

“This can make me look cooler!” Baili Changcheng grinned and straightened his cloak on his head.

Lin Jie. “…”

As time went by, more and more players came to the fourth floor. It was not limited to the guild leaders, but also many workshop leaders. There were even lone wolves who came to be onlookers and so on.

The hall gradually became more crowded, making the previously harsh atmosphere a lot more relaxing.

At the same time, the space in the middle of the hall fluctuated, as though a black hole was formed out of thin air! Slowly, a woman with blond hair walked out from the space. She was a standard Western beauty dressed in a bunny costume and had an explosively hot body.

“The auction hall is about to be opened, everyone, welcome to the auction!” The woman slightly bowed. The males could not help but blink their eyes as her huge chest bounced up and down.

“Hehe, hehe” A salacious Bandit called “Han Emperor’s Uprising” rubbed his hands and rushed into the space impatiently, planning to take advantage of her.

Little did he expect that the bunny girl would stretch out her hand, saying with a smile, “I’m sorry sir, but you’re not qualified to enter.”

Han Emperor’s Uprising froze. Being the first to act in public was upsetting, so he barked, “On what basis?”

“Those with less than 300 City of Light reputation are not allowed to enter, sorry.” The bunny girl’s voice gradually became colder.

Han Emperor’s Uprising was skeptical about it. He activated sprint and ran towards the space. With a leap, he was almost going to force his way in! Unexpectedly, the spiral showed its teeth that was like a jackal, swallowing him up with a gulp.

Death!

“Whoever wants to barge in forcefully, I will not stop you,” said the bunny girl calmly.

“Laughable.” Dumb Fox stood up and walked in bringing a beauty. They entered successfully. Then, the guild leaders got up one by one. Lin Jie shared a look with Baili Changcheng, both of their reputations had reached the requirement.

Dominance’s reputation was only a little over 70, but as one of the regular customer of Imperial City Hotel, the bunny girl gave him the privilege to enter. This made Dominance feel like he gained much face.

Zheng Ziliang and Qiu Yuan cleared dungeons regularly, so together with the reputation brought by the dungeon’s First Clear, they just nicely had the qualifications to enter.

Just as they entered the auction hall, everyone was shocked!

They had thought that the auction hall at the top was at most a little bigger, but it actually—looked like the Colosseum. The space was stacked by magic, no matter where one was, they could clearly see the auction platform in the center.

The stars in the night sky were actually countless exhibits. As long as one tapped them, they would drop down.

This event not only auctioned properties but there were also many items provided by players or NPCs.

“Sit.” Dominance became his capable and experienced self at once. He tapped randomly, and the three of them were teleported.

By touching the handrail with both hands, one could open up the virtual panel. The top of the panel was densely packed with auction items. Most of them were Augmenting Gem, Bronze equipment, Normal Skill Books, and other common items. One only needed to tap it once to send it into their backpacks.

The auction had yet to begin so Lin Jie browsed through various items at will by clicking.

“Tsk, tsk, so many familiar faces,” said Baili Changcheng in amazement, pointing at the flat-headed middle-aged man not far away. He said laughingly, “That is my uncle, one of the family’s opposition forces.”

Lin Jie asked with interest, “Opposition forces?”

“Yes, since The New Age started, the opinions within the company split into two factions. One faction advocated for investing in games to gain more benefits when executing virtual industry expansion. The other advocated for using all of the company’s funds for acquisition and competition of other enemy companies when they split their company industries. They are still locked in fierce struggle.” said Baili Changcheng as he pleased, “That guy is one of the few loudest people who opposed!”

“Who else is opposing?”

“My grandfather, my grandmother, my mother. Those that are older than 30 years old are all standing against us.”

Lin Jie suddenly understood that energy companies were not like the clothing industry or the food industry. What they needed was more than just fame, as well as reputation! Even if the energy industry advanced into virtual games, they would be suspected by people whether or not they wanted to continue researching technology.

Three liars make a tiger [1], rumors were formidable. 1

The thoughts of the older generation may not be wrong.

In the center of the raised stage, the rays of light slowly converged under the influence of the Philosopher’s Stone, landing on the elegant and poised middle-aged man. This person was the owner of the City of Light—Albert Caesar! He appeared in a gorgeous suit, showing his extremely strong eye-catching muscles which instantly blinded the eyes of countless people, shocking them.

“Welcome everyone!” The City Leader smiled slightly with an impressive appearance. “The Empire has entrusted me, the great Albert Caesar to host this auction! This auction will auction off a total of 14 properties!”

“Normally, auctions needs warm-up first.” The City Leader’s low and deep voice resounded all around, so everyone gradually quieted down, waiting for him to continue. “However! I shall show everyone the tradition of the Caesar family! Now, we shall start the auction of properties, brave warriors, bring out your enthusiasm!”

“Okay!”

“Good job! Hahaha.”

“Mighty City Leader! City Leader, I love you!”

The scene instantly exploded with chattering!

The leader’s style was deeply well liked by everyone! Generally speaking, there would be finale items in the auction, being auctioned off at the end without fail. Surprisingly, this City Leader directly started the auctioning properties, how cow he not be loved by everyone?

Lin Jie’s eyes flashed. Apparently, the first auction in his past life had not started so smoothly! This group of people was happy too early.

Sure enough, the City Leader seemed to have had an unexpected situation, he went limp, falling onto the ground! The maids hurried forward and said in a sweet voice, “The City Leader had been fighting for the City of Light, so his wounds have not healed yet! However, this sacred auction must be hosted by the City Leader. Everyone, please wait patiently…”

Lin Jie stroked his cloak and got up.

“Where are you going?” asked Baili Changcheng.

“To the washroom.”

——————

Lin Jie left the Auction House, heading to the City Leader’s Mansion.

The City Leader did not exhaust his physical strength for the battle of the City of Light at all. His physical fitness was extremely poor, and as for his muscular body, it was faked by the camouflage skill.

The reason he fainted was even simpler – Caesar, who was as timid as a mouse, was shocked by the screams and enthusiasm of the audience – his heart couldn’t take it, and he fainted…

If the player’s field of vision could be increased to 30 yards, then they could clearly see that when the leader of the city was limp in the auction hall, some liquid flowed out of his crotch.

After routinely paying a visiting fee, Lin Jie successfully entered the City Leader’s Mansion. Dozens of servants were taking care of the City Leader in great bustle, including the Commerce Supervisor of the City of Light, the White-Clothed Godfather of Sunshine City in charge of people’s livelihood, the Trade Supervisor of Prague City, the gladiator of the Triumph City, Loka and some other mighty NPCs that were in charge of the properties.

The City Leader closed his eyes tightly, the Priest was in the process of working hard in channeling the Healing Spell on his body.

“Dear lords, I hope that you are all well,” said Lin Jie smilingly.

The Priest said in a serious tone, “Stranger, leave here immediately, Lord City Leader’s injuries must be healed immediately.”

Lin Jie shrugged his shoulders, “I can cure him.”

“Go, bring me the Half Catwoman slave that I gave Lord City Leader. If I’m not wrong, she should be in his bedroom,” said Lin Jie calmly.

“Presumptuous!”

The ten guards shouted out sternly, pressing their long spears against Lin Jie’s neck.
