Chapter 28: The Map of the Unknown Dungeon

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Immediately after, the beautiful auctioneer took out six exquisite boxes and arranged them neatly on the display table.

Discussions rose and fell in the auction hall. Everyone was guessing what was inside the box.

They were so mysterious that they had to be kept in a box.

The beautiful auctioneer did not seem to be in a hurry. She waited until the atmosphere at the venue was more or less stirred up before she began to describe to everyone.

“Esteemed guests, the final round of the auction will begin. At the same time, it will be the finale item of this auction!”

“The auction item is the map of the unknown dungeon. There are six of these maps!”

Whoosh!

The moment the auctioneer finished speaking, countless people in the auction hall gasped. Then, the entire auction hall erupted.

Almost all the mutants present had excited expressions on their faces, and their breathing became extremely heavy.

The unknown dungeon was also known as the Dark Zone!

As it appeared in a very concealed location, it was usually very difficult to be discovered.

“I didn’t expect a map of an unknown dungeon to appear at the auction!”

“And there are six of them!!!”

“If I manage to find a good dungeon, I’ll be able to reap great rewards!”

To maintain the secret within the map, the auctioneer did not show the entire map. She only showed a corner of the map.

However, just this corner of the map was enough to make the entire place boil in excitement!

Ye Tianyu was surprised to hear the auctioneer’s description.

He was familiar with the unknown dungeon.

His first mission after joining the Spiritual Team was to conquer an unknown dungeon.

And it was a Grade A Dungeon!

The unknown dungeon was not rank graded by the Mutant Association. It was full of uncertainties, but it also had a greater value for exploration.

It was like opening an Easter egg. Before opening it, no one would know what was inside.

There were only two outcomes for mutants who tried to conquer unknown dungeons.

An overnight fortune or death.

The last time the Spiritual Team conquerred an unknown dungeon, the entire team was almost in danger.

However, opportunities were often accompanied by danger. How could there be no risk to obtain benefits?

Ye Tianyu had gained a lot from the previous mission.

A large amount of materials and magic crystals…

More importantly, he had subdued many powerful soldiers.

High risk meant high rewards!

The higher-ups of the auction grasped everyone’s thoughts well and used the map of the unknown dungeon as the finale item.

Desire was the source of human progress. Even though they knew that it was dangerous to conquer the unknown dungeon, many people still rushed towards it.

On the auction stage, the beautiful auctioneer listened to the intense reaction of the crowd and began to announce the rules of the auction round.

“The starting bid for each of the six maps is 15 million gold coins. Each increase in bid must not be lower than 100,000 gold coins.”

“The auction has officially begun!”

The sound of a hammer striking could be heard, and the sound of people giving their bids rang out.

“I bid 15.1 million gold coins!”

“15.1 million gold coins, and you dare to bid? I’ll raise the bid by another million!”

“Stop fighting. I’ll add two million and bid 18.1 million gold coins.”

“…”

Some people in the auction were shocked, but most of them started increasing the bids.

And from all the voices, it could be observed that there were quite a few people bidding.

Each increment was more than a million gold coins. It made people feel like their blood were rushing to their heads!

To spend money as if it was dirt – these were the exact description of these people!

Within a few minutes, the price of the unknown dungeon maps skyrocketed to 20 million gold coins.

Not only that, there were also more than ten mutants who were still bidding!

Ye Tianyu did not participate in the auction because of a moment’s hesitation.

Though the unknown dungeon could bring him high returns, his main goal was to complete his Second Class Advancement mission. He knew clearly which was more important.

However, this trip was not in vain. Not only did he manage to exchange the items that he had obtained from the last time, he also obtained Grade S equipment.

The unknown dungeon was indeed very attractive to mutants. Within ten minutes, the price of each map had increased to 30 million gold coins.

One of the mutants had even turned pale. He had come to this auction only for these maps, but he didn’t expect so many people to fight with him over them.

The price was constantly rising. If this continued, it would exceed his expected cost.

If he couldn’t bring these six maps back, he would have to bear the wrath of the higher-ups in his guild.

Although there were not many people raising the price and the rate of the price increase was not as terrifying as before, but it was still increasing.

“31 million gold coins! Dear friends, I am Chen Zhiwen of the Blood Wolf Guild. These maps are the items that our guild leader has his eyes on. Please give us some face.”

At this moment, Chen Zhiwen suddenly revealed his identity and revealed the name of the Blood Wolf Guild.

The reason why he did this was to make the others retreat.

After a few seconds of silence, someone suddenly announced their withdrawal from the bidding.

“Since the Blood Wolf Guild has taken a fancy to it, I shall not fight for it anymore!”

“Haha! I’ll withdraw too!”

“If we had known that the Blood Wolf Guild was interested in the map, we wouldn’t have bid!”

“…”

Upon hearing the name of the Blood Wolf Guild, the other bidders all expressed their intention to withdraw from the bidding!

In City H, the Blood Wolf Guild was quite powerful. Although everyone had their identities hidden in the black market, no one dared to offend the guild.

After all, it would be fine if their identities were not found out. If they were discovered, their outcome would be tragic!

It was said that a mutant who had offended the Blood Wolf Guild had disappeared from City H, never to be seen again.

Although there were rumors saying that he died while conquering a dungeon, everyone thought that it wasn’t that simple as he had offended the Blood Wolf Guild.

Thus, after Chen Zhiwen revealed his identity, no one dared to compete with him for the map.

The auctioneer frowned but did not say anything.

“No one is bidding anymore!”

“Then these six maps are sold. Congratulations, honored guest!”

On the auction stage, the beautiful auctioneer smiled as she landed a few hits using the hammer!

Although Chen Zhiwen’s sudden action caused the price to be lower than expected, it was not drastically lower than expected.

With the final round of the auction, the auction was about to come to an end!
