Chapter 127 The Auction Ends
After exiting the game, Zhang Shan took off his gaming helmet.
I'll call Boss Wu first to ask him if he's really in the process of resigning. But it's still a little early, so he probably hasn't gotten off work yet.
Never mind. He's going to be fired anyway. Even if he hasn't gotten off work yet, it should be okay for him to answer the phone.
The call is connected.
"Boss Wu, are you off work yet?"
"Not yet, I'll be off work soon."
"Have you told your leader about your resignation?"
"Yes, my boss advised me not to leave, and even said that if I felt the salary was too low, he could help me apply for a raise, hehe."
"Fuck, why didn't they give you a raise when you weren't planning on leaving? It's so fake that they told you this when you were about to leave."
"Yes, the salary hasn't increased in the past two or three years. It's enough to say it now."
"Did they tell me when I can resign?"
"I told my boss that I would take two days off first, and then go over to handle the handover after they have made all the arrangements."
"Aren't you a factory? Why are you so troublesome? Isn't it said that a factory is a place where you can just pick up a bucket and leave?"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. It won't delay anything. I can just go there again in two days."
"Well, the price of our skill book has gone up again. It has been auctioned for 150 million. Hehe."
"I saw it on the forum. I never thought that the krypton gold bosses in the new world would be so awesome."
"There are a lot of people playing. If there are a lot of people, there will be all kinds of big guys. It's not surprising."
"Yeah, I'm almost off work, let's talk again when I'm online."
After agreeing on the approximate time to go online, the call ended. Zhang Shan went downstairs to eat, and then strolled around the street as usual. The long hours of online gaming had made him nervous.
I feel like something is not right with my whole person and mental state. I should try to take more time to go out, even if it's just for a walk.
After all, people live in reality. Games can be used as entertainment or as work, but they cannot really replace reality.
I looked at the time and it was almost time to go online as agreed with Boss Wu.
Zhang Shan returned to the apartment and logged into the game. Not long after, Boss Wu also came online.
"Let's go check out the auction and then go kill some monsters."
Zhang Shan and Boss Wu teleported to the auction house and checked the progress of the auction. It was still the same as before, the price was fixed at 150 million, and no one raised the price.
"It should be the limit. Forget it. We have already made a lot of money. Let's not expect too much."
The auction will last until after eleven o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Shan doesn't want to end the auction early, so he will let it end automatically when the time is up.
"Let's continue to upgrade the Ant Hill map."
"Okay, let's go."
The two teleported to the city gate and began running towards the Ant Hill map.
"Have you told your wife about your resignation?" Zhang Shan asked Boss Wu.
"I told you, this kind of thing must be discussed with her."
"Your wife didn't object. After all, you won't be working anymore, and making money by playing games sounds a bit empty."
"She didn't believe it. I told her that we had a skill book and sold it for 100 million yuan, but she still didn't believe it. If she didn't know you, she would have thought I was being scammed by a liar, haha."
"So she believes it now?"
"She still doesn't believe it. I even found the forum and showed it to her, but she still doesn't believe it. But don't say she doesn't believe it. I don't think it's real either."
"Don't worry, once the auction is over, the money will be real."
Unlike Zhang Shan, Boss Wu entered the game a little late and doesn't have much experience with the big spenders.
After seeing the bounty of "My Heart Follows My Movement", Zhang Shan had a more intuitive understanding of the big spenders in the new world.
A bounty for killing someone can get more than 10 million gold coins, so what's so strange about setting a small goal of buying an ultimate skill book.
Moreover, when the reward for Heart Follows Me was offered, the exchange rate for gold coins was almost twice as high as it is now.
With the experience of low-level workers like Zhang Shan, it is difficult to understand how the rich make money, nor can they understand their consumption concepts.
As the story goes:
Two woodcutters were chopping wood, and one of them said, what do you think the life of an emperor is like?
Another woodcutter said that the emperor must have a golden axe to chop wood.
By the same token, compared to the real local tyrants, Zhang Shan and Boss Wu are just two woodcutters.
Everyone's wealth and status determine his circle, and also determine his vision and knowledge.
Although information has developed to the extreme nowadays, it seems that ordinary people can get any information through the Internet.
But in reality, everyone can only know what he should know, and what he should not know, he will never know.
It’s like playing the same game, but Fengyun Tianxia knows more than Zhang Shan.
"How do you plan to spend the money after you get it?" Boss Wu asked Zhang Shan.
"Let's buy a house first. We can't keep renting an apartment. Let's buy a big villa, one that's close to the sea."
"Are you really planning to buy a big villa? That would require you to spend all your newly earned money, and it might not even be enough. You know the housing prices in Pengcheng, they're ridiculously expensive."
"After I spend all my money, I can earn more later. Besides, I'll have nothing to spend money on after I buy a house. I'm single and have nowhere to spend money."
"Don't you plan to find a girlfriend? You're not a child anymore."
"I don't know how to find it. I play games every day. I can't find it in the game, right?"
"You can find one in the game. Anyway, the new world is bound to identity and gender, so you don't have to worry about encountering a shemale, hehe."
Zhang Shan was speechless.
However, he needs to seriously consider what kind of life he should live in the future, after all, he is indeed not young anymore.
Of course he wants to find a girlfriend. No one wants to be single for life.
His conditions were too poor before, and the salary from his job was barely enough to support himself. No matter how much he wanted, it was all in vain.
Now that he is in the game, he has made some money. In theory, as long as he is not picky, it should not be difficult for him to find a girlfriend.
But he didn't want to be too purposeful. He just wanted to go with the flow. Maybe it would be nice to find one in the game.
The two chatted while killing monsters, quietly waiting for the auction to end.
When it was past eleven o'clock, Zhang Shan finally received the email informing him that the auction was over.
Auction email: Hello, the Invincible Slash skill book you auctioned has been successfully sold for 150 million. After deducting the auction handling fee, it is...
"The auction is over, and the sale price is still 150 million. No one bids any more. We'll split it in half. I'll transfer the gold coins to you via email."
After Zhang Shan finished talking to Boss Wu, he transferred 75 million gold coins to him via email.
"Okay, thank you, brother. I never thought that after all these years, we would get ahead . Life is really unpredictable."
"Yeah, life is unpredictable."
"Shall we go back to the city and exchange the gold coins for blue coins?"
"Well, let's go back together, cash out the money, and find time to look at houses in a few days. Let's solve the housing problem first."
