Chapter 128: Last Auction ( Part 1 )
While Shane was pondering about his Clan Name, the Grand Auction Hall buzzed with excitement as the next item was announced.
They saw that the staff brought quite a huge item to the stage, so they all had various guesses about the item.
The crowd leaned in, their eyes wide with anticipation. The auctioneer, a master of ceremonies, knew how to work the room, her voice rose above the murmurs.
"Survivors, brace yourselves for the next wave of power at your fingertips!" She called out, her hands gesturing towards the first item on display…
Then, with a wave of her hands, the staff unveiled the item for everyone to see! It turns out that there were actually three of the same item in the stage!
"Introducing the Ripper's Edge – Chainsaw, a tool not just for cutting through the forest, but for carving a path to survival!"
The audience smiled after seeing this.
"It's finally here…"
"Right… It's the one displayed outside."
"They should've sold these things earlier. Now I barely have points I could use."
"Don't worry. Those top Survivors already used their points. It's our time to shine."
"Did you not notice that some of those guys with Tier 3 Set had already left… They should've lost their Points by now."
"That's true! I noticed that the one wearing the Samurai Set and the expensive Legionnaire Set had already left."
"Oh! So you saw them too! Then we might have our chance at the last part of the event!"
"Hmph! Tell that to Bidder 1101… I'm sure he's still here."
The crowd couldn't help but comment, as many of them hadn't won any item yet.
Soon, the information of the Chainsaw appeared in their BidLink Communicator.
[ Ripper's Edge – Chainsaw ( Rare ): A monstrous chainsaw, its teeth etched with runes of destruction. It roars to life with a pull, eager to rend metal and flesh alike.
Effects: +70% Cutting Power, +20% Durability
Special Effect: Bloodlust - The more it cuts, the sharper it gets. ]
As soon as the bidding start, the crowd quickly placed their bids, the numbers climbing as the Chainsaw was even activated by the staff on the stage, its engine growling like a beast in chains!
"Ohh! That sounds awesome!"
"It looks sharp!"
"This Chainsaw is mine!"
[ Bidder 1191 bids 200 Points. ]
[ Bidder 1891 bids 250 Points ]
[ Bidder 1991 bids 300 Points ]
The bids soared, each Survivor envisioning the Chainsaw in their hands as they fought against a Zombie Horde!
Finally, with a decisive slam of the gavel, the first Chainsaw was sold for 1250 Points to Bidder 1156.
"I did it…" A black-haired man wearing goggles said after securing the Chainsaw. His name was Mark and this Bidder was the Clan Leader of the Tree House Clan.
He was also Echo Sage, the level 12 and Top 10 in the Leaderboard!
As soon as he won this item, he immediately knew that it was time to leave this place since he no longer had any points he could use. Although he also wanted the Sniper Rifle and other firearms to be sold, he was able to tell that there was no way for him to obtain such a highly sought-after weapon.
He was already satisfied with this Chainsaw.
Soon, the second and third Chainsaws were also sold.
One of them was obtained by the mysterious Bidder 1101 once again for 1290 Points, and the last Chainsaw was obtained by Bidder 1999 for 1480 Points.
Several more items were sold and many of them were actually Skill Scrolls. However, Shane already had some of them, or even if he did not, they weren't too great. Skills like Psychological Resilience, Trap Setter, Parkour Proficiency, Tactical Tinkering, and others weren't alluring to him at all.
Anyway, it didn't take long before only six items were left!
Without missing a beat, the auctioneer unveiled the next item, the Corrosive Torrent - Acid Gun, its sleek design contradicting its deadly nature…
"Behold the Corrosive Torrent - Acid Gun! When bullets fail, let acid rain upon your foes!" She exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief.
[ Corrosive Torrent - Acid Gun ( Exceptional ): A gun that doesn't shoot bullets, but a stream of concentrated acid. It's a silent promise of dissolution to any who stand against you.
Effects: +80% Corrosion Rate, +25% Range
Special Effect: Acid Rain - A charged shot that creates a pool of acid, perfect for area denial. ]
[ Acid Canisters: These specialized ammunition canisters are the lifeblood of the Corrosive Torrent - Acid Gun, containing a highly potent and corrosive substance within. When loaded into the weapon, these canisters enable players to unleash a torrent of concentrated acid upon their enemies, dissolving all obstacles in their path.
Quantity: 30 shots per canister ] x30
The Survivors' excitement reached a fever pitch as the acid gun was displayed, its reservoirs glinting with the promise of chemical annihilation!
[ Bidder 1178 bids 400 Points. ]
[ Bidder 1345 bids 450 Points. ]
[ Bidder 1178 bids 600 Points. ]
[ Bidder 1101 bids 1500 Points. ]
The bids climbed relentlessly until Bidder 1101 bids again.
This time, however, something unexpected happened.
[ Bidder 1166 bids 2,000 Points. ]
"Please, Bidder 1101! I really need this weapon! I need the acid gun and its acid canisters." This voice came from a woman, and it was none other than Lyra!

Of course, Shane doesn't know about this yet, but with her pleading voice, she felt that it was a matter of life and death for her. She must be really desperate unlike him.
Because of that, he decided not to bet.
However, even if he did not, it doesn't mean that the others would care!
They still continued bidding against her.
[ Bidder 1245 bids 2,300 Points. ]
[ Bidder 1178 bids 2,350 Points. ]
Of course, Lyra or bidder 1166 wouldn't stop either!
[ Bidder 1166 bids 3,000 Points. ]
With this final bid, the gavel fell, and Lyra won the bid!
'Thank you, Bidder 1101 for giving up!' Lyra thought as she knew that even with all her gathered points, there was no way for her to beat the bidder!
She was lucky that Bidder 1,101 wasn't too inclined to get this item. If he was, then no matter how she pleaded, she was sure that it would fall on deaf ears as it had happened in the previous items where Bidder 1101 was also called out by the others.
