Chapter 397: External Auction
As the streaming continued, Wei Xing’s comment sections were literally raging and bashing him for being a money-grubber.
However, Wei Xing didn’t care about those calling him names or shameless at all.
The website was created for the external auction, and many other marketing promotions were done using his hard-earned money.
Naturally, he was unwilling, but Lin Feng said that he made quite a lot on the news while using information that he had given to him. Thus, it was only right for him to do a little bit of something for the Vanguard guild.
Thus, no matter how unwilling Wei Xing was, he knew he had no other choice but to open up his wallet and get sucked dry by Lin Feng.
’Why are Cool Wind and Carmen so lucky?’ Wei Xing cried inwardly, feeling very envious of those two. Not only were they held in high regard, but they also didn’t have to do much either.
By that, he meant having shown his face and being the actual "vanguard" in pushing out this operation.
While feeling frustrated, some fat sheep finally couldn’t resist any longer and donated him a Castle worth 500 dollars.

"Oh my, thank you very much for the castle, RichTycoon420." Wei Xing stuck his tongue out and thanked them warmly.
Normally, the viewers put themselves in anonymous mode when sending messages, but clearly, this viewer didn’t care and used such an overbearing username.

"Well then, the Colossus are akin to the mythology titan in terms of power and strength, but that doesn’t mean their sizes are big. They come in all forms of stature. As for their weakness… only those who won more than 5 slots for the Vanguard upcoming large-scale dungeon raid are eligible to learn more." Wei Xing laughed heartily and proceeded to end the stream right there and then.
Meanwhile, many viewers from all across the world who were watching and eagerly anticipating some leaks were stunned by the sudden black screen on their phones, tablets, computers, laptops, etc.
"Fuck this OneManMedia!"
"This motherfucker seriously made a stream just to earn quick bucks and then leave us hanging?"
Many were infuriated, with some even taking it up on some post forum to blast OneManMedia to no end.
However, despite the severe backlash on his reputation, there were still many who began to wonder if they should bid for the slots.
Previously, they weren’t that interested in the so-called slots from the Vanguard guild, given that they could easily raid a large-scale dungeon themselves. Yet now that they realized it didn’t appear the slots were the only beneficial thing, but rather news regarding the Colossus.
As for OneManMedia lying and trying to deceive them?
That was impossible!
Who was OneManMedia and who was the Vanguard guild?
Would either one of them truly risk their reputation and honor for a petty sum of money?
Maybe for OneManMedia, but definitely not for the Vanguard guild, which was capable of toppling the branch Reaver Guild and making many suffer at Star Falls City, ruling it with an iron fist.
Without any more promotion needed, the news of the external auction started to spread like wildfire.
Wei Xing felt like tearing up when he read many curses directed at him. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
However, this was the only viable solution to save his poor wallet from draining further. After all, this idea was given to him by Carmen, who stated specifically this was an effective method, but the cost would be his reputation being damaged.
As for the other method, it was equally effective, but Wei Xing might have to eat nothing but oatmeal for 3 whole months to regain his income.
Reputation versus oatmeal?
Wei Xing chose his reputation. Not eating good food was equivalent to living in hell, and reputation could be regained back later on anyway.
As Wei Xing texted on the group chat that the deed was done, only Carmen bothered to reply.
Confused, Wei Xing asked where did Cool Wind go? It had been five minutes since the message was sent, yet the latter didn’t even read the message itself.
Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Carmen supposed Xu Feng must have fallen asleep already.
’He’s probably too exhausted from guiding me around the city.’ She thought to herself. This was the difference between people living in first-graded cities and third-graded cities. The energy between the two was massive, and Carmen could easily neglect a few days of sleep and still be completely fine.
The only reason why she bothered to sleep was to maintain a healthy schedule, but occasionally, she would pull multiple all-nighters without any problem.
After telling Wei Xing that Cool Wind was working on something, Carmen quickly shifted the topic to the external auction website. As an expert marketer, creating a website was as easy as a snap of her fingers.
By now, the website had at least 5000 people all signed up and waiting for the bid to be ready. Those who signed up must link up their bank account to ensure there are no malicious bidders who tried to bid for an amount out of their budget.
Additionally, they must agree and adhere to a contract that the slots they bid could be used up, otherwise, they risk compensating 100 times the money in return for any losses.
There was much risk management being done to ensure a smooth process despite the auction being announced just a few hours ago through the mouth of Xu Feng.
However, Carmen seriously doubted it was done at the last minute, considering the scale and many directions given to her by Xu Feng. From her perspective, she had reasonable cause to believe that Xu Feng had been planning this for a while.
’Just how far did the Guild Leader plan ahead?’ Carmen knitted her brows and watched as the timer hit zero, officially commencing the first 5 slots being auctioned off.
The starting price was 5000 dollars, with each interval being no less than 100.
Each slot was equivalent to 1000 dollars, but who knows if that would remain the same.
What do you think?
