Of course, the result was nothing!
This item wasn’t so easy to get.
But a silver-tier weapon was guaranteed to drop—a gleaming silver longsword.
【King’s Sword (Silver-tier)
Physical Attack: 52-64
Magic Attack: 25-35
Strength +5
Agility +5
Sword Aura: Attacks generate an additional 1 meter of sword aura range.】
“Wow!”
“Amazing! A melee weapon with extra attack range means a bigger area of effect!”
“God, if you combine this with an AoE skill, it’d be insane.”
“How much is this weapon worth?”
Every melee-class player got excited.
This was a silver-tier weapon.
It was definitely the first of its kind on the entire server. Even Chu Fu and the others’ weapons came from silver-tier chests.
Chu Fu controlled her voice to sound more excited, stirring up the crowd.
“A silver-tier weapon, the only one on the server—our guild’s melee fighters and warriors didn’t come for nothing!”
“Right now, the melee class with the highest contribution in the guild is: Shafu Liangu. He gets the first bid! Everyone else must bid at least 20% more than his opening price.”
“If there’s a competitor, follow the normal auction process. Now, Shafu Liangu, please state your bid!”
Chu Fu pointed at Xie Lin.
The priority bidding right was a privilege for high-contributors.
Restricting the equipment’s class and type also prevented others from disrupting the auction for reselling purposes.
Gear from guild activities staying in the hands of guild members boosted the guild’s overall strength.
These rules had evolved over time through Chu Fu’s story progression.
Using them ensured fairness and saved a lot of trouble—rather than just handing gear to whoever needed it.
What if one person never got their piece of equipment?
That’s why Chu Fu’s team always used auctions from the start, distributing the funds to everyone in the group.
Even brothers settle accounts openly.
As Chu Fu’s words landed.
Xie Lin immediately made the first bid.
500 silver.
Chu Fu smiled and added, “Last time, when we took down the Tiger King, the drop was the cloak on our guild leader Prideful Proud. As a special slot item, it sold for 1 gold.”
“But everyone knows how important weapons are. The guild management held back to give you all a chance! Bidding starts now. Minimum bid increment is 100 silver.”
Xie Lin also spoke up: “Don’t hold back just because I’m management. Highest bid wins, and everyone shares the earnings.”
In the guild, some players could only stare longingly. 500 silver was 500,000! Who could afford to compete?
Prideful Proud struck first.
“600 silver!”
As a shield warrior, Prideful Proud could use a one-handed shield and sword. The King’s Sword wasn’t a two-handed weapon, so she was eligible.
“700 silver!”
More competition?
Chu Fu glanced over and saw a woman with a stylish silver hairstyle, looking to be in her fifties.
ID: Wu Chunying.
Beside her, a few younger girls chattered: “Grandma Wu, this sword is good, but 700,000 is too expensive.”
“Yeah, you don’t have to raise it that much. After the guild leader added 100 silver, you could’ve just added 1 silver—601 silver. Slowly bid, and the final price won’t be so crazy.”
Wu Chunying smiled warmly, with a relaxed and comfortable demeanor.
Every move she made carried a unique grace.
But Chu Fu still reminded her, “Grandma Wu bids 700 silver. Please be rational—700,000 is no small sum. If your kids found out, they’d think you were scammed!”
Someone in the guild quickly typed back.
【Little Sister Wu】: Vice leader, it’s fine. My mom has money and time. She’s the honorary president of Linjiang City’s Tai Chi Sword Association. If she likes a sword, she’ll buy it.
“So, you two are mother and daughter in the guild?”
“Alright, Grandma Wu bids 700 silver. Anyone else?”
Xie Lin raised the bid: 800 silver!
Prideful Proud countered: 900 silver!
Xie Lin raised again: 1 gold!
This time, Grandma Wu hesitated.
“It’s not that I’m out of money. But I can see this kid really wants the sword. Plus, the King’s Sword clashes with my Tai Chi philosophy. Maybe it’ll serve him better.”
Xie Lin said, “It’s not that profound—I just like the high stats.”
But thinking it over, her words carried a lot of depth.
“Grandma Wu, I learned something today,” Xie Lin said.
If the game’s invasion of reality was only a matter of time, then as someone aiming to be a Sword Saint, he needed to understand the sword better.
Just like how he wanted to become a Blind Monk—there had to be obsession!
Prideful Proud, hearing this, said, “Hmph. I’ll take Grandma Wu’s advice too. This sword is yours!”
In truth, Prideful Proud thought: I’m a queen too, so why wouldn’t this King's Sword suit me?
But as a melee DPS, Xie Lin would make better use of it.
By raising the bid, she also wanted to avoid leaving a bad impression on the guild—that management was buying gear cheap while treating members as free labor.
They were a legitimate guild, not a black-market coal mine like the Universal Guild.
Chu Fu then announced, “Any more bids? No? Then countdown: 3, 2, 1!”
“Congratulations! Shafu Liangu wins this silver-tier longsword! Congratulations, boss!”
Xie Lin spent 1 gold and secured the sword.
The guild chat immediately erupted with emojis and texts:
“Congratulations, boss ✿✿✿✿!”
“Generous boss ✿✿✿✿!”
“Thanks, boss! Hope you get rich ✿✿✿✿!”
Next, the bronze-tier gear was auctioned off.
Everyone competed fiercely.
Although only a few could get the gear, the rest still got wages!
Chu Fu distributed payouts based on contribution.
She unceremoniously took 477 silver for herself.
The other players got at least 1 silver, with some getting 3 to 5 silver. That was the equivalent of over a thousand in real-world daily earnings—already a high-paying job.
If only this could last forever. But they all knew it could only continue for five more days.
Because the server had been open for five days. In five more days, the village defense battle would begin.
Luckily, this event didn’t just offer cash—it also gave tons of experience.
Shen Chi and Xie Lin reached level 10.
Prideful Proud and Suture Saint were just shy of level 10.
Most guild members gained at least one level.
Some elite players could even organize to tackle the Beast Temple Dungeon.
With that, Chu Fu arranged the next steps, splitting the team into two groups.
Chu Fu and Prideful Proud’s group: one tank, two DPS, one healer.
Shen Chi, Xie Lin, and Suture Saint’s group: one tank, one DPS.
While Shen Chi could serve as either a main tank or DPS, with Chu Fu around earlier, the bosses died before they could chain their sustained damage.
But together, they were more than enough to clear Nightmare-level Beast Temple.
As for Chu Fu’s group, she invited players who had performed well during this event.
