Cataclysm King - #79 - Chapter 79: Greedy Mine

  Chapter 79 Greedy Mine

   Finally came to the auction of legendary materials.

“Underneath is a [Giant Dragon Wing Bone]. After being tested by the appraisal master of our shop, the bone still has the power of the dragon, with strong extraordinary characteristics, and the grade of the material is identified as legendary. The starting price is 100 million, and each increase should not be less than 5,000 Ten thousand.”

   “Two hundred million!”

   “300 million!”

  “.”

  As soon as the words fell, the huge auction room became lively in an instant.

  Ji Xun has no need for this material, and is not qualified to mix it.

  The keel is a legendary material, which is hard to come by. For those who need it, it is a priceless treasure.

   So it is not surprising how many shots are taken.

  Ji Xun got [4 of Spades] at a low price of 6 million, and he was already very satisfied.

  If someone knows that the card is the original template, they may not be able to win it even if it increases ten times.

  The rest is watching the whole show.

  He also wanted to see what kind of price this legendary material could fetch.

  600 million, 700 million, 800 million.

   Bidding is getting higher and higher.

  However, just when everyone thought that the bidding would break through the sky, unexpectedly, an unexpected situation happened again.

   When everyone was bidding fiercely, a girl hurried up to the boss named Song Can with a black VIP card and whispered something.

  Song Can’s complexion changed, as if she couldn’t be confident.

   But after checking the cards anyway, he hesitated for a moment, and went directly to the stage to interrupt the auction.

  Everyone looked puzzled.

Song Can’s forehead was also covered with cold sweat, obviously very embarrassed, but he still said: “Sorry everyone. Due to some special circumstances, this auction item will be withdrawn and will no longer be used as an auction item. To express our apologies, this store will give Compensation of one million cash”

  As soon as these words came out, the entire venue fell silent.

   It seemed that no one expected that the organizer would say such a thing.

  Not selling anymore?

   Is this a black box operation?

  Ji Xun was also very surprised when he heard it. There may be hundreds of guests present, and the compensation for this sentence is over 100 million.

  What the **** happened to make such a move by a boss with such savvy?

  And breaking promises is a worse consequence for businessmen than losing money.

   Obviously, things cannot be solved by losing money.

   Those who can offer hundreds of millions of dollars are all for the materials. Where is the lack of this million?

  After saying this, there was a moment of silence.

Then.

  The venue immediately exploded!

The “boxing champion” Artest was worried that he couldn’t find an excuse to find trouble. Seeing this situation, he immediately yelled: “Hey, fat man, what do you mean? We are here to buy things. Don’t sell it anymore? Isn’t this playing us for fools?”

  This time, it wasn’t just Artest, but also those bosses who had been silent in the audience couldn’t hide their anger.

   “That’s right. Since your shop is open for business, you should have basic integrity. I also came to join in because of the reputation of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce. Looking at it now, it’s really disappointing.”

   “Young man, this is really not kind. I, Han, also want to ask, who is it that has such a big face that you have to sell everything you put on the stage to sell to him!”

  “.”

   This material is of great significance to top spell card masters, and no one is willing to give it up.

  And since it is put up for sale, it is also the rule to pay for it.

   It was withdrawn halfway, which is unreasonable both emotionally and rationally.

  This is the city of innocence. If I really want to anger these bosses, no one will be able to keep the shop open.

  Song Can did not expect such a situation to happen.

  He also knew that his behavior was taboo in business, and his face turned ugly.

  If it messes up this time, their big Ivan shop will have to close tomorrow.

   But even so, he had to.

  Because the holder of this black card is the supreme VIP of their Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, there are few in the entire Federation.

   This is not a question of money, but the identity of the holder is extremely special!

  Although I don’t know who is here, but when you see the card, you must follow the family precepts.

  These are all secrets of the chamber of commerce and cannot be said.

   “Everyone, please listen to me”

  Song Can still wanted to make amends, but the auction room was getting more and more noisy, and it seemed that it could not be suppressed.

  However, when the crowd was excited, an old voice suddenly said: “Don’t make things difficult for the Song family boy. I want this material.”

   This voice is very soft, but it seems to have a magical power.

  As soon as he spoke, the audience fell silent.

   As he spoke, an old man came out and lifted his cloak.

  Ji Xun also looked at it very curiously. This is an old man with a big beard.

  With white hair all over his head, he looks very old, but he is in good spirits.

  He seemed to have just arrived at the auction house.

   It was the old man who came out.

  The audience was silent.

  But suddenly, someone recognized the person.

  The man seemed to have seen something, he was so shocked that his words trembled, he hurried out of the box, and respectfully saluted him: “Junior Hunter Guild Gambi, I have met Master Merlin.”

  Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene.

  Ji Xun was also very surprised. Could this be Gabby, the vice president of the Hunter Union?

   This person can be regarded as a big shot at the top of the pyramid in the city of innocence.

   Actually used the self-proclaimed “junior”.

   Still so gaffe?

   Having said that, who is this “Master Merlin” he is talking about?

   Not only him, some old fellows present also recognized it, and the huge auction hall was instantly audible.

  The old man seemed to have thought of something, and asked casually, “Who are you, Gambi the red beard?”

  Gambi said respectfully and slightly proudly: “It is my father. Twenty years ago, when you went to the trade union, the younger generation also accompanied father.”

  The old head portrait thought of something, but he didn’t seem to have any interest, so he just said lightly: “Oh.”

How could Gabby let go of this opportunity to build a relationship with the great master, and quickly said: “This keel was bid by the junior just now, I don’t know if you asked, please forgive me. As a little apology from the junior, the keel is all paid by the junior. Also invite Master Merlin”

  The old man’s temper is very strange, he doesn’t give face at all: “No need. I haven’t lived enough to take advantage of a group of juniors. It’s just that I came late, and I don’t know what’s going on.”

  He explained, a little impatiently, and said: “Forget it, I want this material anyway. Look at the bids, and I will bid the highest.”

   “Don’t dare.”

  Gambi almost buried his face on the ground, how could he dare to argue with this guy.

  Because he knew very well that this grand master was notoriously eccentric, otherwise he wouldn’t have been exiled to Innocence City.

  Even if his father is still there, he still has to be disciplined like a good student.

  The old man seemed to be in a hurry to leave, and he didn’t intend to talk about the past.

  He turned to Boss Ivan on the stage and said, “That kid from the Song family, I’m being abrupt about this matter. You can deal with it here, and I’ll look for you when I’m done. Think about what you need first.”

  “.”

  Hearing this, people who knew or heard of this person all showed envious expressions.

  Even those big men with heads and faces can hardly keep calm.

   This legendary grand master has not shown his face for many years

   Didn’t expect to be alive.

  If it wasn’t for the keel, I probably wouldn’t have seen it either.

  Song Can hasn’t recognized anyone yet, but when he heard “Master Meilin”, he already thought of who it was.

  With a flattered expression on his face, he hurriedly replied: “Yes.”

   As he spoke, he thought of something again, and added: “Grandpa Merlin, before coming, Grandma asked the younger generation to say hello to you.”

   This “Grandpa” is wonderful.

   Shouting made everyone’s hearts jump.

  The man in the cloak heard it, and his tone was not so cold: “Well, if you have time, please send a greeting to your grandma for me, and tell me when I can see you. After all, I won’t see you many times in this life.”

  Song Can nodded humbly, “Okay.”

   Saying this, the old man turned around and left.

  An accident came suddenly and ended suddenly.

  The old man left without any delay.

  As soon as the person left, the invisible pressure dissipated, and Qiqi’s breathing was heard at the venue.

  But when they came back to their senses, everyone’s expressions immediately became very subtle.

  Just now they had the expression of wanting to eat the fat boss alive, but now they have completely disappeared.

  Although they know that the Song family of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce is a chaebol.

  But there are still many people in Innocence City who can not give face.

   Looking at it now, the elders of this guy’s family are actually old with Master Merlin?

   But this kind of relationship cannot be bought with money.

  For a while, everyone hated and envied.

   But no one said anything.

   “Since it is the material that Master Merlin wants, I have no objection.”

   “Not bad. We have no problem.”

  “.”

  Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

  A chamber of commerce that can be related to Master Merlin has a bright future.

  Who can guarantee that he will not need to refine any top-level cards in the future?

  This is a grand master who cannot be invited.

   Now I know that this big Ivan shop is related, which is good news!

  Everyone realized that this big Ivan shop was about to catch fire in the future.

   When Ji Xun saw this, he guessed who it was.

   There is a high probability that it is the legendary card making master in the mouth of the intelligence merchant.

  The [Cursed 4 of Spades] was made by this man.

   It is said that the cards needed by the top bosses of Innocence City were also made by this man.

  In recent decades, there are only three “legendary” card makers in the entire Federation.

   And this Grandmaster Merlin was one of them.

  Although he was exiled, his skills are still legendary!

  The auction was coming to an end, and now the keel and giant materials were taken away by the old man.

   I don’t know whether everyone wanted to chase out to find that Master Merlin to try their luck, or they lost interest in the following products, and the guests also left the venue one after another.

  People are almost gone in a blink of an eye, and there is no point in continuing.

  Big Ivan’s boss, Song Can, also announced that the internal auction ended early.

  He still fulfilled his previous words and gave each of them a one million apology gift.

   This way of handling it looked very inappropriate before, but it is different now.

  Master Merlin has come forward to bear everything, and no one will say anything if there is no compensation.

  But Song Can still fulfilled his promise.

   A group of guests also saw the appearance of the fat boss, and expressed their kindness one after another.

   After all, there was a fairly good ending.

  Ji Xun originally wanted to see what happened to the last auctioned catastrophe item, but he didn’t have the chance.

   But getting a million in vain can be regarded as returning some blood.

   Also met the legendary master card maker.

   The rewards of a visit are already ideal.

  But Ji Xun didn’t think about any chance.

  He is very self-aware, and he is not qualified to contact that kind of big man who has gone too far beyond his own class.

  At least I know that there is such a master in the city of innocence.

  I also know that the owner of the big Ivan shop can contact the master.

   is enough.

   the next day.

  Early in the morning, Ji Xun arrived at the Hunter Union at No. 1 Gero Street, Nancheng District.

  He got the [Cursed 4 of Spades] in his hand, and he needed some materials to refine it into a finished card.

  But after searching in various chambers of commerce, I couldn’t find any suitable materials.

  So I want to try my luck at the Hunter Union.

  See if you can find any relics or related materials from different dimensions, go there yourself.

   After all, the recent downfall of the Silvermoon Church was directly related to him as a whistleblower. Now that several important people have escaped, it is better to go out of the city to avoid the limelight.

  After Cao Sihai was killed not long ago, too many outsiders flooded into Innocence City.

   There are not only speculators, but also many treasure hunters and mercenaries.

  When Ji Xun came to the mission hall early in the morning, there were already tens of thousands of people densely packed here.

  On several huge magic light screens, the recruitment information kept refreshing, making people dazzled.

  After the opening of the Old Continent was put on the agenda, more and more relics and different-dimensional spaces were discovered, and various recruitment information also exploded.

  Ji Xun didn’t intend to waste time either.

   Found an intelligence merchant who specializes in distributing information.

   After spending a small amount of money, he got a task related to [Beastwalker] materials.

  「‘Winter Forest’ recruited teammates, produced materials related to Earth Brown Bear, Lightning Tiger King, and Two-Headed Troll, and came to doctors and black knights.」

  「‘Shadow Moon Eagle’s Nest’ challenges B-level difficulty, produces the silver material ‘Magic Eagle Flesh’, recruits long-range spell card masters, card players above level 6.」

   “‘Ghost Castle’ brushes mysterious materials, **** two-headed dog, three-headed dog, little devil, come to the sacred healing profession”

  「.”

  These are all different-dimensional spaces where Warcraft materials can be produced.

  Ji Xun selected some according to the conditions.

   The different-dimensional space above the second order can be ignored directly.

  He doesn’t have that strength, and he doesn’t need it.

   Card players need at most one level of professional card main materials.

   Moreover, Ji Xun has requirements on the quality of the material, which must be above silver.

  Therefore, only the spaces above the first-order B-level difficulty can be released.

  This in turn can rule out many copies with low caps.

   After several conditions were screened, he quickly selected two.

  「‘Bloodmoss Wasteland’ cataclysmic level: Tier 1A, produce common, black iron, silver Thunder Bear materials, recruit card players with rank 9 or above.」

“Recruitment of the Black Wolf Hunters: ‘Greedy Mine’ land reclamation, exploration of demon hunter plots, skill cards, high-quality mythical werewolf materials, ancient potion formulas. Catastrophe level has been explored: first-level ABCD, multiple plot difficulty options, The highest output is silver materials; free space, people with spell power level 6 and above come, 50-person group safety mode, everyone starts the car together.”

   The two dungeons produced are not ordinary monsters.

  One is “Thunder War Bear”, a legendary powerful monster that can control thunder and lightning, with dual output of physical and magical.

  Theoretically speaking, as long as the quality of the material is good enough, it will even be somewhat stronger than Baron’s Vajra Black Ape.

  The second different-dimensional space is the “werewolf”.

   After Ji Xun saw this among dozens of recruitment information, his eyes stopped.

   Werewolves are neither humans nor wolves.

   It is the undead of the abyss in myths and legends, a special existence as old as the gods.

  The original template determines the lower limit of professional cards, but the main material determines the upper limit of professional cards.

  The hidden entry in Ji Xun’s hand [4 of Spades] is: the higher the bloodline level of the main material, the stronger the atavism gain.

   Judging from the current recruitment information of the Hunter Union, there is nothing older than the “werewolf”, a creature that existed in myths and legends.

   Moreover, this [Greedy Mine] also issued skill cards, which made Ji Xun very tempted.

   After looking at the detailed information, he decided to check it out.

   Not long after, Ji Xun came to the Windmill Tavern in Nancheng with a recruitment notice.

  The recruitment information said that they must first come here to gather, and then the members of the Black Wolf Hunters will take them to the Old Continent tomorrow morning, and then go to the location of the [Greedy Mine].

   This kind of large hunter group that has been registered for many years usually has a good reputation, and they are not afraid of getting into a black car.

  Ji Xun walked to the front desk of the hotel. The front desk owner was a middle-aged woman who looked a little mean.

   There are three more people checking in here.

  He glanced at the costumes of the three people, all wearing gas masks, a black knight, a ranger who should be a mechanical route, and a hunter who should be a legal system.

  Ji Xun didn’t care, put the notice on the bar counter, and asked, “Boss, is this the gathering point for the recruitment of the Black Wolf Hunters?”

  The boss responded: “Yes. Check in at 100, and leave at six o’clock tomorrow morning.”

  This price is not cheap compared to the conditions of this hotel, but it seems to be an exclusive business.

  Ji Xun didn’t bother, and took out a banknote: “Okay, one room.”

   But when paying the money, someone suddenly greeted tentatively with an uncertain tone: “Mr. Ji Jixun?”

  Ji Xun was taken aback when he heard this, but someone actually recognized him?

   Few people know his real name.

  Listening to the voice, Ji Xun immediately knew who it was.

   It’s no wonder that the proud figure that can’t be hidden by this hunter’s costume is a bit familiar.

   Isn’t this the maze of the Great Cemetery, the companion of the ninth day, the psychic lady?

  He tilted his head to look at the person who greeted him not far away, and responded, “Nanjing?”
