"These are: the Overlord Armor dropped by the level 25 BOSS Goblin Abyss Overlord, and the Hell Robe dropped by the nightmare-difficulty instance, Goblin Hell Lord."
"Let's auction the Overlord Armor first!"
[Overlord Armor (Gold Grade):
Physical Defense: 250
Magic Defense: 200
Constitution +12
Strength +18
Agility +10
Overlord Aura: Reduces enemy defense by 10%, increases own attack power by 10%.]
"Starting bid is 1 gold coin, distributed according to contribution. Xie Lin bids first!"
Xie Lin directly gave a price of 10 gold coins!
The value was about right.
Within the team, the only one who could compete with Xie Lin was the warrior-type player, Jiaojiao Bu Jiao (Little Miss Not Spoiled).
At this moment, however, she was wearing a heavy set of golden armor, smiling smugly.
Saved her money.
In the end, this piece of equipment fell into Xie Lin's hands.
Next was the other piece of equipment.
[Hell Robe (Gold Equipment):
Physical Defense: 150
Magic Defense: 300
Constitution +10
Agility +10
Spirit +25
Hellfire: Can summon hellfire to burn enemies within a three-meter radius.]
Chu Fu smiled and said, "Starting bid is 1 gold coin. This time, the highest contributor among magic classes is me, and I'm giving up the bid. Everyone else can go for it."
This time, it triggered a fierce competition.
Suture Saint, Shafu Liangu, Little Sister Wu, Zhimengzhe, and Bitter Melon King — all of them could compete.
There were too many magic-class players, which was bound to inflate the price of magic equipment.
Chu Fu also noticed the situation and planned to recruit more physical-class players in the future.
For example, the team currently lacked classes like assassins and archers.
But if they added those, they would end up competing with Shen Chi and Granny Wu Yingchun for equipment.
There was no way around it — the only solution was to build more teams later on to produce more equipment.
"10 gold!" Suture Saint started by throwing in all her coins.
Also, knowing that Li Weizheng would send her more coins later, she decided she could afford to overbid; 20 gold coins was within her acceptable range.
"11 gold!" Shafu Liangu followed right after.
"Mom, I want it too!!!" Little Sister Wu immediately requested support.
Wu Yingchun immediately raised the bid.
"12 gold!"
Zhimengzhe raised her hand weakly, "13 gold!"
Although she considered herself a lifestyle player, since Plant had brought her along, she also wanted to contribute to the team. Her damage output was at the bottom, and her utility wasn't even as good as Bitter Melon King's or Little Sister Wu's, so she was anxious.
She didn't like being a burden.
Last was Bitter Melon King, watching everyone jump in one by one, suddenly feeling out of place.
Bitter Melon King: Strayed into the heavens~
Little did she know, Suture Saint used to be the same way.
But after spending more time with the team, she developed her own unique skills and started bringing in plenty of money.
After a heated bidding war, the golden armor reached 23 gold coins and was won by Shafu Liangu.
Because Little Sister Wu and Suture Saint were both healers, the equipment was better suited for a damage dealer.
And in terms of finances, Zhimengzhe wasn't as wealthy as Shafu Liangu, so she ultimately lost.
"It's fine. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. But buy early, enjoy early; buy late, get a discount."
Chu Fu consoled her, then posted a summary.
"Alright, today's team activities are over. All equipment auctioned off for a total of 42 gold coins and 290 silver coins (including some silver-grade equipment). Since this was our first time teaming up, and because we were rushing for the first kill, the contribution points from the earlier dungeons are hard to tally. So we'll distribute them evenly!
Also, the Rongxun Studio and Xingxing Alliance had a bunch of equipment that we looted. That was thanks to Wheelchair Brother's special gold equipment.
The kills were mine, and the loot was picked up by Wheelchair Brother. It doesn't count as part of the team distribution.
We'll split that privately.
Now, does anyone have any objections?"
This was mainly directed at the five new players.
Naturally, no one objected.
Chu Fu paid out wages, giving each person 4 gold coins and 229 silver coins as their share.
Bitter Melon King stared at the coins in her bag, feeling both overwhelmed and thrilled.
At the current exchange rate, that was 4.229 million yuan!
With that money, she could buy a nice apartment complex in Linjiang City, or even a large flat in the suburbs!
She had dreamed of owning a house her whole life.
If she had a house, no one could kick her out — it would be her own home, and she could cook for herself.
Although the canteen food was pretty good too.
Bitter Melon King secretly sent a message to Chu Fu.
"Plant, I feel like I don't deserve this. It's only the first day, and you already gave me +50 to all attributes and paid me money! But my contribution was the lowest! How about I give the money back to you?"
Chu Fu quickly persuaded her, "No way, I don't need the money.
This is something everyone gets, and it's just pocket change.
If you feel guilty, just bring more guild members into dungeons.
Your talent is excellent — who knows, you might even become a team leader one day!
When that happens, you'll lead your own team, and that takes some pressure off me. The Thorn Guild needs you too!
Don't worry about your low contribution right now. Your growth ceiling is extremely high.
When Sister Saint first started with us, she was only an A-rank talent. One Corpse Sewing skill and she turned it all around.
Besides, haven't you noticed? Your skills are actually perfect for PvP. You and Sword Saint Brother might end up on the combat team in the future.
Don't overthink current contribution points or anything like that — we're all one team!"
Bitter Melon King felt a warmth in her heart after Chu Fu's words.
She had always thought Chu Fu was very queenly, but now she truly saw her as a big sister figure.
"Okay. I... I will definitely work hard to fit in here."
Bitter Melon King said.
Chu Fu understood that Bitter Melon King, raised in a tough environment, had a low sense of self-worth and a people-pleasing personality. Changing that would take time.
The best approach was to let Bitter Melon King integrate into the guild and spend more time playing with everyone.
After the team activities ended, Chu Fu quickly opened her livestream to check on the situation in Fengdu Town.
The moment she entered the stream, she heard Lin Haowan shouting.
"Lu Xing is here! BOSS obliterated! The last BOSS only took 13 seconds! Oh my god, that's so strong."
The town defense battle was over.
Chu Feng was undisputedly number one.
Seeing that, Chu Fu smiled.
But then she frowned slightly.
The end of the defense battle also meant a new crisis was about to merge into reality.
And this crisis was a big one.
It would be best to take precautions ahead of time.
She hesitated for a moment, then made a call to Li Weizheng.
"Major Li, I saw a post on the forum and wanted to ask if you've made any preparations."
"What post?"
"It's about the red-eyed rabbits mutating in reality."
When Li Weizheng heard that, he relaxed and said, "Of course I've seen it. Indeed, over the past month, all rabbits have started growing in size.
Not only can abilities be extracted from the game into reality, but monsters are syncing over as well."
We've already dealt with that. All the mutated rabbits have been purchased under the guise of research, and we also discovered that these rabbits are actually quite delicious—after eating them, one's explosive power increases."
Chu Fu nodded. The way the red-eyed rabbit situation was handled was indeed solid. But what came next?
"And what about the mutated rats? If that's not handled well, it could very easily trigger a plague!"
