BXBX NOVEL Chapter 118: The Auction ( Part 6 )
He was planning to create four more watchtowers to guard several corners of his territory, so he needed plenty of long-range weapons.
Several items like katana, club, and dagger appeared but Shane ignored them for now and allowed the others to get them. Anyway, he could just purchase them in the Survivor Store and upgrade them with the Crystals if he wanted items like these.

These items were undoubtedly incredible, and Shane even learned that the Balance effect of the katana was actually used to counter any Knockback effects of certain items.
This was a great thing to know, so once he encountered the Crusher Zombies that were said to be like bulldozer zombies in the Regional Chat, Shane knew what to look for to deal with them.
Anyway, after these items were sold, an item finally caught his attention.
[ Gunslinger\'s Dual Revolvers ( Exceptional ): A pair of sleek revolvers with quick-draw holsters, perfect for rapid-fire shooting and close to mid-range combat. These dual pistols offer versatility and firepower, allowing the wielder to engage multiple targets with speed and style.

There were no effects like Burn or Ice on it, but Shane didn\'t mind it at all. The Dual Wield Mastery and the minus recoil were already quite useful!
"Together with this, Dual Revolvers will be a set of ammunitions! So please consider this when you\'re bidding!" The auctioneer added.
[ Revolver Ammo Pack: An ammo pack containing rounds specifically tailored for revolvers, offering reliable firepower and stopping power in close to mid-range combat. These bullets are suitable for quick-draw situations and dual-wielding tactics.
Quantity: 100 Rounds per Pack ] x5
Indeed! There were 5 Revolver Ammo Packs that would give them a total of 500 rounds!
That was already an insane amount!
Shane\'s eyes also observed the revolver itself, their sleek design also suited his taste.
The additional ammunition was a significant bonus, and he knew the value of such firepower in this world overrun by the undead.
"Let us begin the bidding for these exceptional revolvers and ammunition packs at 100 Points!" The auctioneer announced, her voice rising above the excited chatter.
The bids started to fly in immediately, each one higher than the last, as the survivors recognized the rarity of the offering.
[ Bidder 1312 bids 150 Points. ]
[ Bidder 1468 bids 200 Points. ]
[ Bidder 1534 bids 300 Points. ]
Shane waited, his finger poised over the BidLink Communicator. He watched the numbers climb, gauging the determination of his competitors.
[ Bidder 1675 bids 500 Points.]
[ Bidder 1742 bids 750 Points.]
The pressure in the room was intense, as if a tangible force that seemed to press upon everyone was within the hall.
Shane leaned forward, his eyes locked on the display.
[Bidder 1101 bids 1,000 Points.]
A murmur swept through the crowd, and the other bidders hesitated, their confidence waning in the face of Shane\'s aggressive strategy.
Travis, the Clan Leader of the Drakeheart Vanguard, watched with a calculating gaze. "He\'s going all in again…" he remarked to his clan members. content-source-MVLeMpYr
"Let\'s see how far he\'s willing to go."
[ Bidder 1104 bids 1,200 Points.]
Shane didn\'t flinch. He entered his next bid with a calm certainty that seemed to echo through the hall.
[ Bidder 1101 bids 1,800 Points. ]
It was another insane amount, and none of them could guess how many points this person has!
The hall fell silent as the auctioneer called out.
"Bidder 1101 leads with 1,800 Points! Will anyone challenge this bid?"
One by one, the other bidders backed down, their devices going dark.
Natalie Cross, the female Clan Leader who had won the Recruitment Stone earlier, nodded in respect…
"This person is really rich… I hope he identifies himself in the chat." She muttered.
The young man who had secured the Bladesmith\'s Katana shook his head in disbelief.
"Incredible…" he whispered. "I wonder if he\'s going to keep this up until the 100th item..."
As the auctioneer struck the gavel, confirming Shane\'s victory, a round of applause broke out.
Well, there was nothing they could do as they had no idea who that person was. Nonetheless, whoever he was, they knew that it was better to befriend this person and learn his secret to obtain more Points.
Furthermore, since he had Revolvers with 500 rounds, none of them would dare to curse him right now as they might be remembered by this mysterious person!
Anyway, Shane not only won the revolvers but also asserted his dominance in the auction.
The other survivors now knew that Bidder 1101 was a force to be reckoned with, a player with the points and the will to secure the best tools for survival.
