Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As Luo Yang had mentioned, rhe gathered players began to grow impatient as the auction showed no signs of starting.

“What’s raking so long for this auction to begin? I left my limited-rime quest for this.”

“Is Mr. Zhao and Luo Yang playing tricks on us? Are trying to fan the flames of conflict among players?11

As the players starred discussing with increasing agitation, Luo Yang glanced once more at Ji Chen, who remained composed, as if everything was under control.

Just as many players were becoming more agitated and some were even preparing to leave, a group of elves suddenly appeared outside Black Gold District, escorting dozens of cargo wagons that slowly entered the plaza. They gazed coldly at the multitude of players.

The cargo wagons were covered with black cloth, concealing the contents within, bur the sight of dozens of them forming a long procession was quite impressive.

At that moment, Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair appeared seemingly out of nowhere and held up a simplified megaphone.

“All rhe items for this auction are provided by the Islander!”

This announcement left the players in astonishment.

Could it be rhe Islander they were thinking of?

As if they had guessed the players’ thoughts, Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair continued, “Yes, you guessed it right! It’s rhe famous Islander who made a name for himself in the Silver Island’s mystic realm, ranking high on the player leaderboard and territory leaderboard!

The Islander have entrusted Mr. Zhao with these auction items!

Since the items are from the Islander, the quality is absolutely guaranteed!!!11

The players who were acting foolish exchanged glances, and it was clear that they had noticed the astonishment in each other’s expressions.

In reality, among the player community on the mainland and along the coast, the name “Islander” was renowned.

Not only did he hold a high position on the leaderboards, but he was also famous for his remarkable achievements.

In his first appearance at the Silver Island mystic realm, he single-handedly attacked several city gates of the Blood Sea City and collaborated with attacking players, securing an advantage for rhe assault.

This allowed the attacking players to obtain a substantial amount of crystals.

Furthermore, on King Kong Island, he used colossal waves to engulf several players attempting to take advantage, earning a terrifying reputation for his individual strength and formidable fleet power.

These two real combat records were sufficient proof of rhe formidable strength of the Islander.

In addition, he was widely praised by the players’ alliance on King Kong Island, especially rhe enthusiastic acclaim from a player known as “l_Love_Black_ Stockings/’ who was famous on the leaderboards, calling the Islander the most handsome and generous player in the Central Ocean.

All these factors made rhe Islander subtly become the talk of rhe players as rhe Strongest player in the Central Ocean.

However, after King Kong Island, the Islander rarely appeared in chat channels and forums, causing the hype surrounding him to gradually fade.

It was only until now…

To say that this batch of auction items was provided by the Islander?

Cores for recruiting military units were stacked casually in crates, and boxes of elixirs were bundled for auction.

At this moment, these players deeply understood what it meant to be extravagant to the extreme.

Had the Islander truly become this powerful?

To rhe point where he didn’t even care about these items and decided to auction them all?

“Ten fine iron bed crossbows, starting bid at two thousand gold coins!”

“I’ll bid two thousand one hundred!’’ a player who had been eyeing them raised his hand and shouted.

“I’ll bid two thousand three hundred! ” another player asserted without hesitation.

“Three thousand gold coins!” a player dressed in tattered clothing calmly called out, drawing rhe attention of many. They couldn’t help bur mutter to themselves, “With so much money and still dressed in such ragged clothes, is this guy pretending to be poor to catch us off guard!?”

Observing the players actively bidding at the auction, Ji Chen nodded with a sigh of admiration.

In fact, it proved that some players who appeared to be struggling on the surface actually had some wealth hidden away. Players who understood the value of discretion knew the essence of pretending to be weak to catch their prey off guard.

After watching for a while, he grew bored.

He gestured, indicating that Luo Yang should manage rhe auction by himself. Afterward, he used the Illusory Mask to alter his appearance, making sure he looked distinct from his usual self and different from Mr. Zhao.

He made himself slightly shorter, a bit chubbier, and adopted an unremarkable appearance.

Looking at the completely unfamiliar face in the mirror, Ji Chen nodded in satisfaction.

He then headed downstairs through a private passage to the street.

This rime, not all players came solely for rhe auction. Some were here to take advantage of rhe crowd and set up stalls to sell various items.

On the streets beside the auction venue, stalls lined both sides of rhe road, displaying all sorts of miscellaneous items. Players would occasionally stop to inquire about the items and their prices.

This scene had a distinct market vibe.

Ji Chen, with his changed appearance, seamlessly blended into the crowd, appearing as an ordinary player our for some shopping.

“Rare snow lorus from the snowy mountains, one for three hundred, three for one thousand!”

“Top-quality fine iron longswords, your perfect companion for assassinations on dark, windy nights.”

“Silver scale breastplate, blue-grade quality, five gold each!!!”

“Second-tier military recruitment camp cores for Forest Guardians, four in total, 250 gold each, buy all four for a ten percent discount!”

Vendor calls filled the air, but none of them seemed to be selling fake items. After all, players could easily verify item information using rhe system’s display, so it was clear whether the items were genuine or not.

Deceiving the indigenous population might work, but deceiving other players would be pointless.

Ji Chen strolled along, but suddenly, he halted in his tracks and glanced toward a secluded little stall at the corner of the street.

In his perception, there seemed to be something peculiar there..
