Starting from Uchiha Obito

Chapter 142 Eric Ann

"You are all here to participate in the auction, right? The entrance fee is 100 Mithril coins." At a doorway with a city wall less than 3 meters high and no door panel at the gate, two guards blocked the way of Wang Jie and his group and demanded a sky-high entrance fee.

"You are robbing me, right? The entrance fee is 100 Mithril coins? You have been cheating me everywhere along the way." Zhou Wentao was the first to shout. It was not because he was the only one who thought it was expensive, but because he had the most impulsive personality. Although Wang Jie's recent transactions were all denominated in Mithril coins, this world also has copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins. Mithril coins are large-denomination currencies above the former. It was indeed the first time that Mithril coins were used for such a small matter as entering the city.

Now it has been two months since the attack. The team meeting on the day of the attack unanimously passed a resolution - continue, according to Wang Zhiyun - everyone from the same world as them needs a hero's certificate. If they give in this time, will they give in every time in the future? Until they have everything or give up completely and then fight for it? So this is not a choice for them, because they actually have no other choice.

After that, everyone continued to act according to the routine. Shisui and Mingguang continued to seize every opportunity to level up. Wang Jie only attacked monsters above level five, and the others assisted from the side to develop their tacit understanding.

They deliberately entered the city on the last day of the auction. Since they knew that someone in the city was gathering people to deal with them, going early would give others more opportunities. However, they did not expect that they would be beaten by the security guards when entering the city.

"You are all here to participate in the auction, right? The entrance fee is 100 Mithril coins." The guard at the city gate ignored Zhou Wentao's protest and just mechanically repeated his previous words. It seemed that he was just a low-level soldier with low intelligence, so there was no point in reasoning with him.

"Why don't we just hand it over?" Seeing the guard's mechanical answer, Wang Jie and others looked at each other. Finally, Zhang Wenwen came out and asked in a low voice. Although 100 mithril coins are expensive, they are not so important for the things they are going to bid for. They can't just break in now?

"Pay it over. There's no need to waste time with the soldier at the door. I'll ask Erican to reimburse the money later." Wang Jie was helpless facing this situation. A soldier with low intelligence had little room for maneuver whether it was intimidation or reasoning, but he couldn't swallow his anger and had to make up for the loss.

The group had no choice but to pay the money to enter the city, and then went straight to the auction house. Wang Jie's Sage Mode covered a much larger area than this city. Before he even entered the city gate, he knew everything here, including the location of the lord Erican. However, that was a trivial matter and could be put off until later. It was more important to register for the auction first.

This auction is quite special. There is nothing to auction in the new territory that doesn't even have a gate. The only item is the Hero's Certificate. And because of the special nature of its owner, the form of the auction has also changed. If you only come with money, I'm sorry, you basically have no chance of participating in this auction. All those who participate in the auction need to bring the materials designated by the lord to the auction site to register in advance. Only the materials required by the lord will be calculated into the funds you can bid. The rest will not be counted, and it is useless to bid directly with Mithril coins.

Wang Jie understood Erican's plan. If you don't really tell others what you want, everyone will guess based on experience. No matter how experienced you are, you will have nothing to say if the lord himself says that he doesn't need those supplies and you guessed wrong. This will lead to the people who come bringing a lot of excess supplies, and then among the many forces participating in the auction, only one will actually pay the supplies to exchange for the hero's certificate. Then, in a short period of time, in this area, after the auction is over, a large amount of supplies will be "sold at a low price."

Of course, this "low price" refers to this new territory. For those who come with supplies, it should be no problem to make back their investment, and they may even make some profit.

Wang Jie could understand Erican's wishful thinking, but he couldn't agree with it. His approach seemed smart, but it was hard to say what the consequences would be. The key was to see the current construction situation in the territory. Would he be able to resist? Maybe as soon as the auction was over, those who didn't get anything would immediately choose to rob it, and then the territory would probably disappear directly.

Wang Jie cannot guarantee that he will not be one of the people who causes the disappearance of the territory.

After spending an hour picking and choosing at the registration office, the goods that Wang Jie brought in were worth 1 billion Mithril coins in the Elvin territory, but only less than 10 million were included in the final quotation. One reason was that the other party said they did not need many of the goods, so they were not counted, and the other was that the other party maliciously lowered the price, and all items were calculated only according to the price of the place of production. For example, one of the main materials of the city wall, the Mo Yao Stone, was produced in almost every territory, but it was basically only enough for use. There was very little surplus to sell to the outside world. The nearest one was 3 kilometers away. Even with space equipment to assist in transportation, the journey was not easy. Even if you bought it in the Elvin territory, the price would have more than tripled. As a result, when it came to him, he directly calculated the price based on the place of production.

Although Wang Jie was dissatisfied with this, he did not say much. Now he was the rule maker and the only supplier of the Hero's Certificate. Whatever he said was the truth. If it was not directed at him, the result would only be that the total amount of money that everyone could use would be less. Maybe the proportion would be different, but it should not be very different, unless~~ among those participating in the auction there was Eric Ann's agent, and Eric Ann's purpose was not to sell the Hero's Certificate, but to use this as an excuse to let a group of free laborers deliver the goods, and finally the Hero's Certificate would be bought by his own people arranged by him.

If this is really the case, then Wang Jie might as well be a part-time robber.

The registration was finally completed. All the materials Wang Jie brought were included in the total bid amount, and then this number was directly written on a black wooden sign with white paint by the registrant. The wooden sign was very large, and the registrant called two people to carry the wooden sign to signal Wang Jie to follow him. The group walked around and entered the stands of a circular martial arts arena. The martial arts arena was very large and circular in shape, and looked like the Roman Colosseum. Wang Jie was very surprised. From the outside, this simple auction should not have such a venue. Wang Jie and his group found a place to sit down at random. The wooden sign was placed on two iron rods, and the side with the words faced the center of the venue. A platform had been set up there, and someone was standing on the platform waiting quietly. According to Wang Jie's understanding, that person was the lord here, Erican.
