Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Chapter 460: Final Items (3)

“1200–” Leo said, officially joining the bid, as everyone in the room took a collective sigh of defeat.

Somehow, as soon as he joined, everyone knew that he was going to end up walking out with the item, however, those who had the means to purchase it did not wish to give up till the bitter end.

“1400–”

“1600–”

A couple other players bid, however, Leo came back strong and placed a big bid for 2000 MP.

“2000 MP by number 98, do we have more?” Raya said excitedly, however, nobody in the room responded.

Just like gold, not many players had the ability to place bids for items above a certain MP threshold, as unlike Leo, not many made global announcements on a quarterly basis.

Hence although 100/100 players present within the room held some interest in purchasing the Shard, in the end, it was Leo who walked away with the winning bid of 2000 MP!

“What the hell…. That’s the 17th item that guy has single handedly purchased. Just who is number 98?”

“Are you guys dumb? Of-course there’s only one player who can be number 98! It’s ‘TheBoss’….. Who else can have over 2350 MP to spare?”

“Yes, it must be the number one player…. Nobody apart from him can be this domineering”

Murmurs began to float amongst the players, as everyone arrived at the same conclusion once Leo won the Shard, that bidder 98 was none other than ‘TheBoss’.

While the average player struggled to win a single item in this auction, like a True Capitalist Leo purchased everything he fancied and there was not one thing that anyone could do about it.

Since everyone had the same starting point in the world of Terra Nova, nobody could even attribute Leo’s success to his ancestry or foundations, as he had made himself into the man that he was today.

” I mean, how can anyone catch-up to ‘TheBoss’ at this rate? With the items he has bought and considering how he has already killed a Demon Count, I won’t be surprised if he goes after the Demon King next–”

” If they recreated the grand tournament now and put all three other semi finalists against ‘TheBoss’ alone. I’m sure ‘TheBoss’ will walk out of that fight without taking a scratch”

” Guys…. I know that some of you may not like him and that some of you may feel sad at not winning a single item in this auction. However, what ‘TheBoss’ did here today is beyond impressive.

As aspiring top players ourselves, we must appreciate him and the summit he represents.

Let’s give him a standing ovation—” a player suggested, as he initiated a standing ovation for Leo, which was soon followed by the entire auction hall.

*Cheers*

*Claps*

Even Raya paused the auction procedure for a moment, as the others appreciated the symbol of power that ‘TheBoss’ was, as Cervantez could not help but chuckle as he clapped.

‘TheBoss’ was probably the only player in the game, that could turn a crowd of players who were openly hostile to him just minutes ago, clap wholeheartedly for him just minutes later, and Cervantez could not help but feel respect for him.

The Boss was not a suck-up, he did not care about public opinion, and was true to only himself, which was probably why he was respected like no other player within the game.

“Boss! Boss! Boss! Boss—”

Soon the claps broke into open chants of ‘Boss’ as Leo waved to the crowd with his palm raised, acknowledging the fact that it was indeed him who was number 98.

‘Is it because the gap between him and the others is so large that they don’t feel jealous when they worship him?’ Cervantez wondered, as he was probably the only player in the room who still had ambitions to catch-up to Leo someday, while the others seemed to have already given up.

In the end, it took the crowd a full three minutes to calm down and for the chants to subside, as it was only then that Raya could resume the auction.

The last 3 items up for display were all very interesting as well, and Leo had the slight urge to bid on them, however, with the price of each item going over 1500 MP, Leo decided to let it be, as he closed his auctions conquest having won 17/100 items up for sale.

Overall, it was an incredibly productive session for him, with his strength increasing by leaps and bounds. However, being in isolation meant he couldn’t test his newfound power, and it would be months before any other player witnessed his new collection in action.

( Real World, The Arc Ship, Sector C )

As Leo logged out of the game after an enjoyable auction session, the first thing he did was to perform his morning rounds.

As no matter how big of a bigshot he was within the game, in reality he was nothing more than a humble supervisor.

Once done, he begrudgingly returned to his apartment for his mental meditation session, however, to his surprise there was a white robed Cervantez sitting outside his apartment door at that moment, with there being an oddly determined expression on his face.

“Good morning… How can I help you?” Leo asked, surprised to find Cervantez sitting outside his door instead of summoning him to Sector S as usual.

“Can I come in?” Cervantez replied in a slightly hoarse voice, as at this moment Leo knew that this was something serious and that Cervantez was not here to preach or ask for favors.

“Of-course” Leo said, inviting Cervantez to his apartment, as he pulled a chair for him at his dining table and poured two glasses of milk for them to enjoy.

“You look slightly disturbed today guildmaster, is everything okay?” Leo asked, his eyes never leaving Cervantez’s face as he tried to discern the meaning behind Cervantez’s complex expression.

“Yes, I have something important to tell you today Leo….” Cervantez said, gulping his milk down in one go, as he stared intently back into Leo’s eyes.
