Virtual World: Close Combat Mage

Broken Water Arrow sent a message, but there was no reply. He had realized that something might not be good. The players who had finished the auction suddenly scattered. Broken Water Arrow sailed against the current, and finally squeezed in front of the auction table. He saw Ye Xiaowu petrified there like a statue, his eyes still looking at the auction column dreamily.

Suddenly he turned his head and began to look around. When he saw Broken Water Arrow beside him, he greeted him casually, then pulled him away and squeezed out of the crowd.

"Didn't grab it?" Duan Shuijian quickly caught up.

Ye Xiaowu nodded with a dark face.

"What accident happened?" Duan Shuijian asked.

"There will be no problem with my bid." Ye Xiaowu affirmed that he had figured out the pattern and rhythm. The price he presented would be displayed in the auction column every time, and he did not receive a "bid failed" message from the system. Hint, this is the best proof. Every bid he made was successful, including the last one.

"What's going on?" Duan Shuijian was confused.

"There is only one possibility. In the last wave of bids, someone raised the lower limit." Raising the lower limit means that the price is higher than everyone else. In this case, time is no longer a problem. The system directly selects the highest price to display, and other bids will not be judged as failed, because they are only equivalent to being replaced by higher bids in the auction. Based on this, Ye Xiaowu was sure that his last bid was not a failure, but was wiped out by a higher bid.

"That's really unlucky!" Duan Shuijian sighed.

"This kind of situation has never happened in the previous price brushing, but this happened at the last second. It is really hard to believe that this is a coincidence." Ye Xiaowu said.

"What if it's not a coincidence? No one knows when the auction will end!" Duan Shuijian said.

"Someone knows." Ye Xiaowu said.

"who?"

"Seller."

Broken Water Arrow suddenly realized that indeed, the only one who might know when the auction would end was the seller.

"Well, maybe after she auctioned it, one of her friends wanted it, so she told her friend the specific time and helped her friend successfully buy the staff." Duan Shuijian guessed.

"Accurate to the second? If I hadn't meant it, would I have remembered it so clearly when consigning it?" Ye Xiaowu said.

"So...what the hell is going on?" Duan Shuijian was confused.

"I don't know, let's take a look!" Ye Xiaowu looked around as he walked. At this time, the auction house was like a movie theater that had ended, and players were all leaving. Ye Xiaowu wanted to go to the pick-up area to see who had bought the staff, but it turned out that a crowd had already gathered there. Although the mood is not as complicated as Ye Xiaowu's, the crowd is still very unified in this point of curiosity.

Huo Ranyi and Glue were mixed in this crowded crowd. They really liked this situation. Firstly, it is not easy to be discovered. Secondly, the player taking the staff must be very conspicuous when he appears at this time. If you can see clearly, you may be lucky enough to find out the details of this person directly.

As a result, layer after layer of people waited eagerly, but no one came to pick up the goods. The occasional appearance of three or two people aroused everyone's excitement, but they were all ordinary auction players, and the goods they took were not ideal wands. Instead, the seller appeared in confusion and happily took away her big bag of gold coins.

"Where is the person? He hasn't shown up yet?" Huo Ranyi muttered. Everyone knows that items sold in the auction house can be kept for seven days. But for a top-quality staff that was purchased through such fierce bidding, it makes sense that the person who bought it should be eager to take it out and try it out, right? As a result, the buyer never showed up today, which made everyone very anxious.

After more than ten minutes passed, many players were impatient to wait any longer and left one after another. Seeing that there was less and less cover around them, Glue and Huo Ranyi turned their eyes more and more diligently.

"Where is Qianli Yizui? Are you still there?" Huo Ranyi asked while looking around.

"I didn't find it." Glue was also looking around.

There were fewer and fewer players in the auction house, and they were basically visible at a glance. The two of them looked around, but couldn't find Gu Fei after all. When Gu Fei finished the auction, the two of them wanted to continue to keep an eye on his actions, but at that time there was a huge crowd of people, and just as Gu Fei couldn't notice them, it was not that easy for them to keep an eye on Gu Fei.

"Don't be careless. Qianli Yizui showed up before, maybe some strange face is paying attention to us at this time." Glue said.

Huo Ranyi nodded, his gaze continued to be alert, and he suddenly noticed a certain direction and quickly pulled the glue: "Look, the two people over there seem to be staring at us."

Glue quickly looked back and was startled. He recognized that the two people were Ye Xiaowu and Broken Water Arrow.

Huo Ranyi had never met the two of them, but he already knew that this would be the boss of their next big business. Not only could he make money, but he could also vent his personal anger by letting Qianli Yi drunken. He liked the business very much. As soon as he heard the introduction of glue, he immediately waved to the two people enthusiastically.

Ye Xiaowu and Broken Water Arrow also recognized the glue and stepped forward.

Glue originally wanted to ask the other party's purpose, but when he saw Ye Xiaowu walking towards him with half of his attention on the shipment, he immediately knew the other party's intention.

"Brother, didn't you grab the staff?" Glue asked knowingly.

Ye Xiaowu shook his head.

"There are so many people buying, so you have to rely on luck." Glue comforted.

"Maybe it's luck, maybe it was bought back by the seller." Ye Xiaowu said.

"How do you say this?" Both Guo Shui and Huo Ranyi's expressions changed.

"With my method, theoretically it shouldn't happen that someone bids higher than me, unless it's a seller who knows exactly when the auction will end in advance, and is stepping on that second to sell the law at a price that greatly raises the lower limit. I bought the stick back," Ye Xiaowu said.

"Method?" Glue and Huo Ranyi's attention was a little diverted for a moment. They never knew what techniques were involved in auctions in the parallel world.

Ye Xiaowu obviously didn't want to explain this, he just continued to look at the shipment and muttered: "The person who bought the staff never showed up..."

"Well..." Glue said cautiously, "You said the seller bought the staff back. How likely is it do you think this is possible?"

"99.99%." Ye Xiaowu said after taking a look at the glue.

"That doesn't mean 100%!" Huo Ranyi said.

"Maybe it's really a coincidence..." After all, luck cannot be explained by science.

Glue and Huo Ranyi did not dare to ignore this unexpected information, and quickly contacted Jian Nan You: "Dan Nan, we met that Hongchen Yixiao, and he definitely said that 99.99% of the possible ideal staffs were bought by the seller. Go back!"

"Oh? What basis does he have?" Jian Nanyou asked quickly.

"He didn't say it, but I don't think he was talking nonsense." Glue said.

"So this is really a trap!" Jian Nanyou said.

"But Qianli Yizui and the others were not found around." Glue said.

"Haven't they all appeared before? It proves that they are still there. This must be a trap. Leave!" Jian Nanyou said.

"Would you like to take a look again? Even if it's a trap, we still have to find out who has the staff!" Glue said.

"Now that it has been confirmed that it is a trap, the staff will eventually return to Mang Mang's hand after a round of rotation. There will be nothing wrong in continuing to pay attention to this woman." Jian Nan You said.

"That makes sense...but we should just wait here and see what tricks they have up their sleeves. Anyway, it's absolutely safe here." Glue said.

"That's okay." Jian Nanyou said.

In order to make the trap story more believable, Glue asked Ye Xiaowu how he was sure that the seller bought the staff.

Ye Xiaowu didn't explain it in detail like he explained to Broken Water Arrow. He only said that if more people bid, there would be a difference between a successful bid and a failed bid. But he had grasped the rules and the bids were always successful. However, the last time before the end, he was defeated. People buried it directly with a higher price, so I am very suspicious of this coincidence.

When Glue and Huo Ranyi heard this, they immediately felt that Ye Xiaowu's inference was indeed very reliable. During the period before the end of the auction, no one had raised the lower limit, but this happened just one second before the end. What a coincidence. Somewhat excessive and worthy of 99.99% doubt.

"Selling it yourself and buying it yourself, what kind of trick is this?" Ye Xiaowu said.

Glue and Huo Ranyi looked at each other, speechless.

"That Qianli Yiyi drunkenly auctioned his own sword, but ended up asking his own people to buy it for him. What kind of trick was he doing?" Duanshui Jian was also thinking.

Glue and Huo Ranyi didn't know the answer to this problem, and the four of them frowned and thought hard. I still half know how glue and fire-burning clothes work, but why does Qianli Yizui play such a trick? Why? Both of them felt their brains aching just thinking about it.

At this time, Gu Fei and the others were no longer in the auction house. When Gu Fei jumped up to the high platform to sell his sword and began to attract most people's attention, Lan Yi left the auction house with a large group of people. They shouldn't have appeared at the auction house in the first place, but because they suddenly realized that there would be no place for the auction, they all ran over in a hurry. At this time, it seemed that Gu Fei's method might work, so Lan Yi hurriedly asked everyone to leave the auction house and avoid it, leaving only the priest who was rushing to buy.

"Qianli's method is likely to work, but... in this way he will be exposed. Jian Nanyou and his people may be mixed in the crowd. Seeing him appear at this time, they may realize that this is our trap." Brother You is worried.

"It's really troublesome!" Young Master Han said with a sullen look on his face, unhappy.

"But if we don't do this, we won't be able to grab the auction table..." Brother You said.

"What does that matter?" Young Master Han said.

Brother You was startled and stopped.

The Young Master of the Han family looked back at him, and Brother You said slowly: "I just thought, you who usually don't miss any details, how could you be so careless like other people and ignore the affairs of the auction house where there are many people at this time... "

"Of course I know about that."

"You really want to fake it, and really use the vast staff as bait to lure Jian Nanyou to the bait."

"Jian Nanyou is not stupid. Only in this way will he be so determined to be fooled." Young Master Han said.
