Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Chapter 452: Mischief (1)

“Let it be mate, that item is not worth it” #99 warned Leo, as for some odd reason, Leo believed the guy.

The #99 player was none other than Big Dawg, who could see all the hidden information about items within the game.

While Leo failed to inspect the hidden warning beneath the item description as it was shrouded in question marks for him, Big Dawg could read the warning as clear as day.

[ Note – The most important pages of this book which describe the Emperor’s journey to become a grandmaster are missing from this copy ]

The item description came with a warning about how the book was missing it’s most important pages, making it virtually worthless to bid on.

Of-course, it still contained other insights by the Emperor such as his journey to becoming a master level fighters and some other insights about governance and how to live one’s life as a warrior, with the book missing it’s most important pages, the value of the book was not more than 3 million gold coins, which made the selling price of 5 million overvalued.

Unfortunately for everyone in the room, Big Dawg was the only one who could see this hidden information about the item, and although his heart bled at seeing others bid too much for the item, he found it embarrassing to shout out loud and warn them.

In the end, he was stuck with just warning Leo, his neighbor, as the kind hearted guy saved Leo from making a big mistake.

“Cheers mate, thanks for the warning” Leo said, raising an empty glass to the guy, as Big Dawg smiled amicably towards him.

“If you want to bid on an item, you can ask me for its true value. I’m an appraiser and I’ll be glad to help you” Big Dawg said, as he first looked at Leo, and then turned to look at ‘DarkEmperor’, as he tried to imply that this offer of his stood for both of them.

“Oh? Is that so? What’s your name my friend?” Leo asked, feeling happy to meet this kind hearted gentleman as Big Dawg replied saying “I am ‘Big Dawg’, and you can add me as a friend if you like”

“Glad to meet you mate, I’m ‘TheBoss’, you might have heard of me. I’m the number one player on the rankings” Leo replied, giving the guy a thumbs up, as at that moment, Big Dawg almost fell out of his seat.

‘The Boss! He’s that legendary player?’ Big Dawg wondered, as he just kept staring at Leo with his mouth agape.

For a while he couldn’t believe that he was sitting in the middle of ‘DarkEmperor’ and ‘TheBoss’, as this meant that he was quite literally seated in the middle of the two strongest players of the game.

‘So it’s that guy….’ thought Cervantez when Leo introduced himself, as this time around he waved back at Leo, although with no smile on his face.

Leo winked at Cervantez, before looking towards his other neighbor, #97, who was also looking at him with his mouth agape like #99.

“Big Dawg, I need help from you… there’s too much money floating around here and I don’t like it.

Everyone seems to have come here with deep pockets and I want to bleed them dry as fast as possible.

So here’s what we are going to do.

You tell me exactly what an item is worth, and I’m going to bid for it 30% under market value.

If it ends up with me, it ends up with me, I’ll take the risk.

If not, I’ll make sure that whoever buys it pays a decent price for it, which will empty their pockets fast” Leo said, as like a true domineering player, he came up with a plan to bankrupt the competition by placing false bids.

“I’m sorry what?” Big Dawg asked, sounding shocked, as the total money that he had walked into this auction with was a mere 9 million gold coins.

If he tried to pull the stunt that Leo was threatening to pull off and was actually stuck with an item, that would spell the end of his bidding career, however, Leo did not seem too bothered with it.

“Aww… relax mate. Just tell me the damn price and watch me eliminate the opposition for all of us” Leo said, as with a trembling voice, Big Dawg told Leo the price of item number 3.

“This bow and arrow set up for sale is worth 4.6 million gold coins….. It’s a really nice item, for the right archer/ ranger it might be worth 5 million, but the fair market rate is 4.6 at best” Big Dawg said, as Leo ignored the rest of his chatter and directly placed a bid for 4 million gold.

“4 Million!” Leo announced, when the current on-going bid was only 2.2 million, as he nearly doubled the bidding amount in one go.

“4 million gold by gentleman in #99 do we have 4.1?” Raya asked, as for a moment the entire hall turned silent.

This was the first time that someone had nearly doubled the bidding in one go and the auction hall members did not know how to respond?

Should they let the item go out of politeness?

Should they continue bidding in increments of 2 million gold coins now?

Nobody knew, as for a few moments there was nothing but awkward silence, until someone bid 4.1 million for it, restoring normalcy.

“4.1 million gold by #66, do we have 4.2”

“4.2 million gold by #45, you have impeccable taste madam–”

.

.

.

.

“5 million gold by #66, do we have 5.1?”

In the end, the item sold for exactly 5 million gold coins to a player who Leo assumed belonged to the archer class, as the entire hall once again burst into polite claps.

Right now, nobody was suspecting Leo of foul play, however, soon, he was about to make enemies of everyone in the room, once they caught on to his antics.
