Reborn as a Transcendent

Chapter 568: Give Up, You'll Never Win Against Me Using Money

"You are definitely wealthy, Young Master Zhang. I am impressed," Cyrus nodded at him. "Since you want these materials, I won't compete with you." After saying this, he turned around and revealed a devious smirk. He had obviously done it on purpose!

‘Hmph, let's see how rich you really are,’ Cyrus thought, ruffling his hair as his smirk deepened.

After bidding a high price for those materials, Taurus became the center of attention as discussions buzzed around him. He remained calm and collected, seemingly unfazed.

However, S.K.Y. could tell from slight changes in his expression that he was deeply satisfied. Before this, Guest 250 had received nothing but ridicule for spending 200 million.

Meanwhile, Taurus had spent only a million and managed to show off how cool he was, which was undoubtedly a great deal. The actual value wasn't important. What mattered was that he was happy.

‘I, Taurus Zhang, am born to show off!’ At that moment, he was still intoxicated with the pleasure of showing off.

S.K.Y. felt a twinge of disapproval. He quickly stood up and completed the transaction on stage. Soon enough, he returned to his seat, and the auction continued.

More materials were being auctioned. Still, Cyrus continued to compete with him.

As expected, Taurus successfully purchased all the materials, using his deep pockets and minimal intelligence. By now, Cyrus wore an uneasy expression, his heart filled with envy.

‘How can he be so rich?’ he wondered. Little did he know, Taurus was like a goose with two billion worth of golden eggs. Throwing tens of millions away was nothing to him.

Everyone else couldn't help but be impressed by Taurus as he dominated the auction with his financial prowess. With this level of wealth, he could no longer be described as a wealthy fool. He was a quintessential golden pig!

At that moment, many people felt like sucking up to him and taking a piece of his wealth. Not a chunk of flesh, but a chunk of glittering gold!

"Next, we will auction a quality sword." The auctioneer, eager to empty Taurus' wallet, quickly announced the next item. The higher the price something sold for, the more bonus she would secure.

Unlike others who wanted his money but had no chance, the auctioneer could take it bit by bit.

Upon hearing those words, the staff beside her immediately brought out a bright blue sword. It was a well-crafted weapon, three feet long, with a blade covered in a thin layer of cold air.

This was a water-ice attribute longsword called [Starmist]. Restricted to Level 25 and above, it was Grade: Rare level 8. Yunuen had acquired it by opening an Equipment crate.

She had managed to acquire a quality sword as a Priest, making it hard to tell whether she was unlucky or incredibly lucky. In one sense, she was unlucky since a Priest couldn't use a sword.

On the other hand, she was truly lucky as the sword had wonderful attributes, making it exceptional among all Rare Equipment.

As soon as the sword was displayed, all the players offstage were visibly shaken. Its attributes were close to that of an average Epic sword! Calling it a semi-Epic sword was no exaggeration. Of course, it paled in comparison to the Black-hearted Princess' Epic sword.

A single attribute from her weapon was enough to surpass this sword. However, they weren't the Black-hearted Princess. Most players with better gear only had one piece of Epic Equipment, barely any Rare Equipment, and mostly Uncommon Equipment.

Thus, the sword was enough to make all the players at the auction and spectators in real life drool.

"The [Starmist] sword. The starting bid is half a million," the auctioneer announced.

The natives were in an uproar upon hearing this. A mere quality sword with a starting bid of half a million? What a scam!

However, remembering that the generic materials had sold for an exorbitant price, they were no longer as surprised. What truly shocked them was the intense desire in the outsiders' eyes. They desperately wanted this quality sword!

"One million!" Even more surprisingly, a bidder instantly doubled the price. And it wasn't a paid actor hired by the auction house. It was none other than Taurus, the person everyone wanted a piece of!

"I didn't expect such an excellent Rare sword to exist, apart from Epic Equipment!" Looking at the sword's attributes, Taurus' tightly clenched fists trembled uncontrollably.

The stronger the [Death of Love] Guild became, the sooner they could hunt down the Black-hearted Princess. As she had defeated and humiliated him countless times, he desperately wanted to kill her thousands of times over! Then, he would torture and abuse her in real life, turning her into a perfect doll! Only then would he vent his frustrations!

"Two million!" Just as Taurus fantasized about dealing with Yaeger, a slightly excited voice called out. Everyone looked over, and as expected, Cyrus had raised his number plate. This time, he wasn't raising the price to mess with Taurus; he genuinely wanted the sword.

"Two and a half million!" Taurus responded swiftly.

"Three million!" Cyrus countered immediately.

The natives were shocked and awed. The sword's price had soared to three million in an instant. "Are we dreaming?" they wondered.

The price had clearly far exceeded the sword's actual value. However, the natives didn't realize that acquiring good equipment was nearly impossible for players. Once they had the chance, they would do anything to claim it!

"Give up; you'll never outbid me." Taurus leaned back in his chair, raising his number plate slowly. "Four million."

Cyrus hesitated at the amount. He was wealthy but lacked liquid capital. Spending too much on the sword would make his future uncomfortable. After some thought, Cyrus decided to back out. Even a small amount of money could defeat a virtuous hero, let alone four million.

Seeing no response, Taurus smirked grimly. ‘Trying to challenge me? You're still too weak,’ he thought.

The auctioneer onstage was also stunned. She never imagined the sword could reach such a high bid. It was truly unbelievable.

‘Could these outsiders be just as the boss said? Big fish who throw away money like it's nothing?’ she wondered.

"Anyone else bidding more than four million?" the auctioneer asked, regaining her composure. There was no response.

Such a price was already highly abnormal. Only an idiot would bid higher.

"Four million going once."

"Four million going twice."

"Four million going thrice."

"So…"

Just as the auctioneer was about to strike the gavel, a jarring voice interrupted.

"Ten million."

Everyone in the room was stunned. They felt like they had just heard something incredible. Yet, their minds couldn't fully process it.

After all, the voice had said ten million! A quality sword for ten million. Anyone with functioning brain cells would find it hard to believe. They would deny it was real. That it was reasonable.

However, what seemed unreasonable was happening.

"If no one else is bidding, I don't mind taking this sword." As everyone struggled to accept reality, the voice spoke again.
