Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Chapter 450: System Auction (2)

( Leo’s POV )

Leo felt 70% sure that the person sitting in the spot of #100 was none other than Cervantez.

Although his body shape looked different and it was hard to confirm whether it was really him or not under his mask, Leo’s instincts screamed at him that it was Cervantez, which was why he decided to test his theory by calling out his name.

Waiting for the precise moment where Cervantez was looking the furthest away from him, Leo said “DarkEmperor–” out loud, and saw the man seated on #100 turning in his direction, looking for the source of that sound.

As the man seated at #100 turned in response, confusion evident in his eyes, Leo knew instantly that it was Cervantez as there was no mistaking that reaction to his gaming name.

Waving towards him with a fake smile on his face, Leo made sure to point out that he knew his identity, as a surge of curiosity welled up inside to see what kind of items Cervantez would be bidding on.

Over time, Cervantez had proven himself as a man of great future insight, and hence Leo was eager to see what kind of items he would be bidding on, and whether the items were of any use for him or not, as he planned on stealing them if they were.

#97 and #99 seemed to be shocked to hear the name ‘DarkEmperor’ come out of Leo’s mouth, as they turned to see the man seated on #100 with their jaws open.

The #4 ranked player was a mythical figure in the world of Terra Nova Online and definitely one of the biggest big shots.

For them, seeing him in person was a majestic honor, however, judging by their shocked reactions Leo knew that they were not rankers themselves, as all the important rankers had already met Cervantez during the rankers event and would not show such a shocked reaction to his name being called.

‘Small Fries…’ Leo thought, feeling at ease with his surroundings, as although he did not voice out his opinion, he did not feel threatened by the players seated beside him.

Cervantez on the other hand was utterly shocked that someone had recognised him.

He had only gotten the #100 ticket because of his future knowledge, as he killed the Mythical Red Elephant monster that had spawned within the Western Duchy, precisely when it wandered into the borders of Oak-Hill Barony.

One of the reasons behind why he wanted to administer Oak-Hill Barony instead of Silver-Pine Barony, was because of this future event, however, despite not being the Baron of Oak-Hill Barony, he made sure to snatch up this chance when it appeared by precisely being at the right place at the right time.

Naturally, the system auction triggered as soon as he found the ticket, however, with him having prepared for it in advance, he was not too worried about walking out of here empty handed.

What shocked him though was how someone recognised him so quickly, as his disguise was supposed to be perfect.

He had not spoken a word, nor had he interacted with anyone to have his identity leaked, which was why he felt his identity being discovered to be most confusing.

It was #98 player who even waved towards him after calling his name out, however, Cervantez could not figure out who he was.

Nobody knew he was going to be in this system auction and he was the last one to get this ticket, so it was impossible that someone predicted his entry here before he arrived, and hence Cervantez was left scrambling in confusion as to who it was that recognised him.

In his head, he had this urge to get up and confront #98, however, before he had the chance to do so, the Auction officially began with the Elf Raya walking out towards the Auctioneers podium.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain seated, the auction will start shortly–” Raya said, in her sweet and melodious elven voice, as she looked truly breathtaking in her vibrant green dress.

Many amongst the male audience felt like they were having a nosebleed from looking at Raya, as they were forced to rub their noses again and again to make sure they were not actually bleeding.

Leo on the other hand found it amusing how real life Arc Ship staff members could hop into the game world whenever they wished to, as having met Raya in real life, he knew more about her than any other player in the room.

While others assumed that she was an NPC like a fool, Leo knew that she was a living breathing person, however, unlike the majority male audience, Leo did not have a crush on her.

There was something about her not being human that turned Leo off, as in his mind and heart, Leo knew he was loyal to Amanda and Amanda only.

“Dear players, I’m Raya and I’ll be hosting this system auction tonight.

As you must already know, there are 100 items up for bidding today with items one through ninety being available to bid through gold coins, and items 91 through 100 being available to bid through MP alone.

As the host, I hope that everyone in here walks away with one item each, however, that scenario is most likely not going to come true.

Some of you are going to walk out with lots of items while some of you may fail to secure even one.

However, don’t worry, as for all the players who have made it to this auction, we have a gift prepared, so that none of you may walk out of here empty handed.

The gift we have for you all is a bag of gold worth 100,000 gold coins, which you will receive once you exit the auction space, so that even if your coins go to zero within this auction, you won’t go broke while playing the game.

Unfortunately, this amount won’t be available to you while the auction is underway, so you won’t be able to use it as a bidding increment.

That being said, let’s start with the auction, as my colleague Raven, unveils the first item of the night….” Raya said, as she officially kicked off the auction.
