The Strongest Wizard

If The Price Is Right...!!!

30th December 1018/2018 1914hrs

"320,000 credits on a single purchase...?!?!? Do we really have so much money stored inside the Guild's in-game bank account, Tinkerbell? Oh my goodness me...!!! I had never imagined that whatever we had sent to the Votrieburg City Storage had been turned into credits and this was being settled by Tinkerbell alone...!!!

She had sold half of the Swift Grey Foxes furs, paws and tails in the Blackmarket Area since she had attained a certain level to be able to enter that place. Even I discovered that our Captain Guild Leader was unable to enter even if she held the highest peerage title in the land.

"That's true, Snowbunny. Our Captain Guild Leader trusted me to take care of the finances and also made me the head of the Twilight Trading, so I have to bring the best interest of our Guild into play. I shouldn't be sitting here and doing nothing, right? Our Captain Guild Leader was the first and only person who bought my grilled shrimps, and she was the one who guided me through right to this date. Besides, I have the highest Level in Lifestyle gaming, and I would like to one day be able to fight alongside the core members too, once I maxed everything out...!"

Hearing those words from Tinkerbell makes us thirst for more perks and benefits for our Guild to come. We all wanted to contribute to the Guild since we wanted to see our Guild grow...!

"Tinkerbell...this is what I want you to do. Create a virtual shop since Twilight Trading is not ready yet and would be by tomorrow. Put up 5 pieces of Major and Greater Mana and Health Potion at 350 credits and 500 credits each. But not for SALE but put them up for AUCTION. Starting price for the Greater Mana and Health Potion would be at 1.750 credits. Increment bidding of 50 credits each. As for the Greater Mana and Health Potion, it would be at 5,000 credits and increase the bidding at 50 credits too. Release another set every 30 minutes after each winning AUCTION. Got that?"

Tinkerbell was busy writing the details and discovered that the Auction Marketplace charges 10% tax for items auctioned at more than 5,000 credits. Immediately she goes to her system and set the Major and Greater Mana and Health Potions to auction as suggested by our Captain Guild Leader.

I was glad that our Captain Guild Leader had made such decisions. Tinkerbell is the only one that would be able to handle such finances without much supervision. I wondered how much credits our Guilds have at this moment. While I was pondering to myself, our Captain Guild Leader took the Storm Tower Copper Shields away. She stowed them back into her inventory and leaving only the #1 behind.

"Wh...Wh...Why you kept them back, Captain Guild Leader...??? I thought you wanted to present those to us or something...???" I asked as I stammered as I watched the Storm Tower Copper Shields were being stowed back.

"My core members deserved something better than this, and I would like to AUCTION these to the representatives that would be coming here shortly. They would be handing us the list of names and the 10,000 credits membership fees for both the Inner Circle Elites as well as the Outer Circle Elites." Our Captain Guild Leader explained and I was surprised to see that our former had a good foresight on many things. This is the result of being a BETA TESTER I think, and there were a lot of loopholes that our former was able to manipulate.

"Good evening to you, Captain Guild Leader. We hope that we do not disturb you in the meeting with the core members right now. By the way, we wish to hand over to you the list of names of our current members and new members that made up of Inner Circle Elites." Thrillseeker greeted our Captain Guild Leader and handed over a few sheets of paper that had all the ID, rank and professions. Just from the sheets of paper indicates successful recruitment for the Inner Circle Elites that are ranked Level 20 and above.

The other representative, a Guardian Knight that had been shoved to the front during the appointment, handed a few sheets of paper to our Captain Guild Leader. The Guardian Knight was a bit jitterish as she had never faced such presence before her. "Here is the list, Captain Guild Leader. I had managed to gather 150 names altogether. I have with me 1,500,00 credits. Would you open up the in-game bank account so I could transfer the money over to you instead?"

The Guardian Knight was played by a female, and her ID was 'MissyGk007'. The moment we heard 1.5 million credits would be transferred in just a blink of the eye, we were over the moon...!!! I Had never seen such an atrocious amount of credits before in my entire life...!!! And this collection was done in less than an hour...!!!

"Here's our tally for the Inner Circle Elites, Captain Guild Leader. A total of 190 members and a collection of 1,900,000 credits." Thrillseeker mentioned it casually since she might have experienced handling such credits in her other gaming platforms.

"JUST LIKE THAT...?!?! 3.4 MILLION CREDITS...?!?!? WOW WEE...!!! OUR GUILD IS RICH...!!!" I felt elated when I discovered we had gained over 340 members in a blink of an eye...!!! And each one paid up 10,000 credits without batting an eye. I knew it would be a mix of pay2win and free2play gamers on each side.

I saw our Captain Guild Leader maintained her composure when she received the number of credits from both the representatives of the Inner and Outer Circle Elites. 3.4 million credits...!!! That would be worth $850k in the real world...!!! We are RICH...FUCKING FILTHY RICH...!!! HAHAHAHA...!!!!

I wanted to laugh and roll on the table or do other weird stuff but looking at the poker-faced Captain Guild Leader, I refrain myself from doing so. However, I could see a glint over her eyes as she pulled out the Storm Tower Copper Shield from behind her and presented it over to the representatives.

"Please INSPECT as you wish and quote me a price." Our Captain Guild Leader spoke so calmly that I just wanted to have the Shield for myself. Wuwuwu... How could she be so cruel to auction it away like that...I like that Shield...! But its #1 so I won't care much about it.

I looked at Snowball, and he too had a sad look on his eyes as he watched the Storm Tower Copper Shield being traded off like that. I closed my distance to Snowball and placed an arm around his shoulder as we watched the Storm Tower Copper Shield being traded off right before our eyes. Wuwuwu...!!!

Thrillseeker and MissyGK007 came forward and brought up the Shield, and were surprised at the attributes as it was a Shield that was able to have a Physical Attack Value, just like a piece of weapon.

"25,000 credits for me," Thrillseeker called out the first price.

"28,000 credits for me...for me..." MissyGK007 called out her price as well.

"30,000 credits"

"35,000 credits...!!!"

"45,000 credits and it is all M I N E...!!!" Thrillseeker hollered out at our Captain Guild Leader, and everyone could see the green veins popping out from the former's neck...!!!

There was so much commotion coming from these 2 representatives since both use a Shield. Their classes were different even though one of them is an MT and the other a GK...!!!

At last, the auction was won by Thrillseeker at 55,000 credits...!!! Once the transfer had been made between the two parties, our Captain Guild Leader announced. "Congratulations, Thrillseeker. Here, you go. Next item.........."

Our Captain Guild Leader took out Storm Tower Copper Shield #2 and placed it beside her. MissyGK007's eyes gleamed as she thought that our Captain had no more of the Storm Tower Copper Shields in her possession.

"Start your bidding now, ladies." Our Captain called out, and immediately MissyGK007 quoted, "I WANT IT...HHUUAARRGGHH...45,000 credits...!!!"

"I WANT IT TOO...!!! Same Price...!!! 55,000 credits...!!!" hollered Thrillseeker as she was holding to one side of the Shield while MissyGK007 was holding to the other side.

It seemed that a war of biddings would occur again and we guys shrank into one corner of the private dining hall while the girls came to our Captain Guild Leader's aide. We could see that Thrillseeker and MissyGK007 were staring daggers when they started the bidding. I wondered if this scenario would end up the ladies brawling on the ground and each tried to strip each other's armour off the back.

"Ahem...Baroness...Could you keep the volume down a bit since the other patrons could hear what was happening and wanted to know what it was all about. They wanted to come in and join in the auctions since they discovered that you are holding a private auction here........."

Before the barkeep could finish his sentence, Thrillseeker and MissyGK007 were almost at each other's throat as they called out 65,000 credits as the maximum bid.

"Going once...going twice...Congratulations to Thrillseeker once again...!!! Storm Tower Copper Shield auctioned at 65,000 credits...!!!"

I don't know what to say or comment right now because, in a few short minutes, 2 Storm Tower Copper Shields were being auctioned off at 120,000 credits. To them, those credits were like water for these two female adventurers.

Thinking that our Captain Guild Leader had no more of those Shields in her possession, Thrillseeker wanted to leave since she had acquired 2 of these Shields, leaving MissyGK007 behind.

Right after Thrillseeker had left, our Captain Guild Leader took out another Storm Tower Copper Shield #3 from her inventory and placed it before MissyGK007.

"The next item... Please place your bids...!" our Captain Guild Leader spoke with a poker-face, and when MissyGK007 saw another Shield being taken out for auction, she cannot help but feigned faint and threw her head back and laughed loudly...!!!

"Could I use real cash instead of credits? Come on, Captain Guild Leader... How many more Storm Tower Copper Shields do you have with you? How come you are not using those for your own core members?"

REAL CASH??? Thrillseeker had bought those 2 Shields for 120k credits which is equivalent to $30,000...!!! HOW COME THEY ARE SO RICH...!!! I swooned at the thought and these are considered as play money to these 2 ladies.

"You really want to buy all my Shields? Quote me the best price. I have two more in my possession and it could be yours IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT...!!!"
