BXBX NOVEL Chapter 117: The Auction ( Part 5 )
Of course, she wasn\'t too sure if that was him, but her intuition told her so.
She couldn\'t help but want to send a private message to him and ask if he was Bidder 1101. However, she felt it would be rude to pry on his secrets.
Anyway, she decided not to compete on the first few items as she had limited Points. She was only able to save 4,240 Points and it was all thanks to the treasure trove she found in the sewers.
Apparently, she found a few shelters made by previous inhabitants of the city, who had decided to hide in the sewers. They still, unfortunately, perished, most likely because of the Zombie Rats that could easily pass through normal barricades and attack you at night.
Anyway, as the bidding for the fuel concluded, the auctioneer introduced the next item. It seemed that she was finally starting to introduce other resources crucial for establishing a secure and sustainable camp.
[ DIY Shelter Set: This collection of construction materials is perfect for erecting sturdy shelters, crafting fortifications, and creating a safe haven for survivors. It includes lumber, nails, tools, and waterproof tarps. This set is also for rapid assembly. The materials are pre-cut and designed for quick and easy assembly, reducing construction time by half.
Note: This set could create only 20 square meters of shelter. ]
This set wasn\'t too popular since 30 days had already passed since they entered the apocalypse. It means that all of them already possess a shelter.
Furthermore, they were among the top 1,000 Survivors, so it was guaranteed that they already had a decent situation compared to others.
In the end, this DIY Shelter Set was only purchased for 165 Points.
Well, there were still about 5 Survivors who fought for it for some reason.
As for Shane, he obviously had no use for it since he already had lumbers, nails, and various tools, thanks to his blacksmith and the natural resources near his camp.
However, the next item that was introduced was something that most of the landowners, like Shane, needed.
[ Harvester\'s Hoard Set: A set of agricultural supplies. Ensure your camp\'s food security with this comprehensive kit of agricultural tools and seeds. It contains a variety of heirloom seeds, fertilizers, and basic farming tools. The seeds are also genetically enhanced for high yield and disease resistance, promising a bountiful harvest.
Note: Even if the seeds are genetically enhanced, there are still chances that they won\'t grow if the soil is too poor and other basic requirements aren\'t met. ]
The starting bid price for this Harvester\'s Hoard Set was actually 50 Points only. However, Shane didn\'t hesitate to put a higher price once again, leaving all the others speechless!
[ Bidder 1101 bids 1,000 Points ]
Someone was actually monitoring Bidder 1101\'s bids and already knew how many Points he had spent so far!
"That\'s 5,020 Points already, and not even 10 Items were auctioned off! This guy is too hasty! Can\'t he wait for some better items to be sold?"
"That\'s true. He\'ll surely regret spending all his money at the start of the event."
"Right, the real good items weren\'t shown yet."
The other Survivors could only comfort themselves that Bidder 1101 would no longer become their competitor at the later part of the event. check-out-MvLeMpYr
Well, there was certainly nothing wrong with this idea since none of them could fathom that someone would be so lucky enough to get more than 80 thousand Points!
"Is he really getting hasty?" Raze couldn\'t help but question this as she had a bad feeling about this Bidder 1101…
After all, if he could accumulate that many Points, he should be smart enough to properly use it for better items.
Anyway, the auction continued, and surprisingly, Bidder 1101 stopped bidding for a while.
The items that were being sold were also quite decent, so many of the bidders felt that Bidder 1101 had already spent most of his money.
[ Scout\'s Reconnaissance Drone: A compact and agile drone equipped with a camera and sensors for scouting and surveillance missions. Provides real-time aerial footage, scouting reports, and enemy detection capabilities to aid in strategic decision-making.
Special Feature: Night Vision Mode - Enables vision enhancement for nocturnal operations. ]
The starting bid for this item was 40 Points, but it was sold for 440 Points. After this, was the Mechanic Toolkit.
[ Mechanic\'s Tool Kit: Equip yourself with this versatile tool kit for repairing vehicles, fortifications, and equipment in the wasteland. Packed with wrenches, screwdrivers, duct tape, and spare parts, this kit can help you maintain and improve your survival gear. ]
It was sold for 220 Points.
[ 5 Sets of Medic\'s First Aid Kit: A comprehensive first aid kit is a must-have for any survivor in the dangerous world of the apocalypse. Packed with bandages, antiseptic sprays, painkillers, and essential medical supplies, this kit can help treat injuries, infections, and ailments on the go. ]
This was quite a useful item, but in the end, Shane did not bid for it since he already had a Medical Gift Pack before. Furthermore, Anna has already made better medicines in case someone got injured in their shelter.
Anyway, Shane still opted not to bid after several weapons were auctioned off.
[ Ranger\'s Survival Axe ( Master ): A versatile survival tool combining an axe blade with a hammerhead and pry bar for various tasks. Ideal for chopping wood, breaching doors, and self-defense, this rugged axe is a reliable companion in the wilderness.
Effect: +40% Chopping Power, +20% Durability
Special Effect:
Overhead Strike: Provides guaranteed critical hit, which deals double damage and ignores the target\'s defense.
Cost: 100 Spirit Points ]
This weapon was actually what Raze wanted. It was suitable for her fighting style and it was also a useful too for everyday use since she wasn\'t part of any Clan and was still roaming the continent alone, or together with her dragon partner, Roan.
After a fierce competition, she was able to purchase the item for 780 Points!
