When Da Fei raised his card to challenge an impossible task, the entire room erupted as expected!
The host shouted excitedly, "An Impossible-level task! Ladies and gentlemen! Are we not hearing wrong? This isnāt an S-level, itās not SS-level, itās Impossible-level! The pronunciation and spelling are entirely different; we canāt possibly be mistaken. The VIP in Box 1 couldnāt be mistaken either. We all know what Impossible-level meansāitās a task even gods canāt complete. Thatās right, not even gods are omnipotent! Now, a guest has challenged the gods, so who else dares to? I just want to askāwhoāelseādares?"
At this moment, the room fell silent, and everyone looked up at the box that had just roared out!
At this moment, hearing the host speak so provocatively, Da Fei suddenly felt a sense of being screwed rushing over him!
"Impossible, add 1 billion Gold Coins!" the voice from the Hell Box replied, somber and steady.
At this moment, the entire room exploded!
The host screamed, "Impossible, add 1 billion Gold Coins!"
Bang! It was like a heavy hammer hit Da Feiās heart! Da Fei suddenly realized he had been tricked. He was the only player in the room, and all the NPCs were arranged by the system to put on a show with him. If the system wasnāt aiming to screw him, who else would it screw? So it meant that no matter what level of task he accepted, the NPCs would definitely follow suit!
When Da Fei realized this, it was obviously too late!
At this time, Fatty, the general manager, spoke up, "Lord City Lord, the other side has gone mad! They will pay the price for their madness!"
Accompanying accountant Mahir also immediately said, "Lord City Lord, the other side has taken on the task and raised the price. You can use your platinum membership card to bid against them!"
Sain muttered, "The other side has a platinum card too!"
Ah, spit! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of old blood! Old Ma, you havenāt been helpful at all, so why did I even find you? But a mere 1 billion Gold Coins is probably nothing compared to the sponsor team behind me.
Da Fei gritted his teeth and followed up, "1.1 billion Gold Coins!"
The whole room cheered! The host shouted, "1.1 billion Gold Coins, VIP in Box 1 bids 1.1 billion Gold Coins!"
At this moment, the Hell Box erupted in laughter, "Just an additional 100 million Gold Coins? Ridiculous! Add 2 billion Gold Coins!"
The host screamed, "2 billion! VIP in Box 7 bids 2 billion!"
WTF! Are these NPCs not being harsh enough? I just want to know what concept 2 billion Gold Coins is! Can I earn 2 billion Gold Coins in the next six months?
At this time, Fatty continued to urge Da Fei, "Lord City Lord, compared to your three patrons, a mere 2 billion Gold Coins is nothing. Moreover, these three patrons have much more lenient repayment terms. You can take years to repay slowly! Besides, once you have the Sky Ship, any location in the New World can be your airborne fortress. This strategic significance is on a completely different dimension compared to your current battleship. So muster your courage and go for it!"
Thatās right! Compared to a cosmic battleship, 2 billion Gold Coins is nothing. A year or two later, the whole of China will be a gold farming studio, and you can buy millions of Gold Coins for a few thousand bucks. With my assets, am I still worried about not being able to pay back?
Da Fei once again raised his card, "2.5 billion!"
The host shouted wildly, "2.5 billion! Box 1 at 2.5 billion!"
The Hell Box immediately retaliated, "5 billion!"
Da Fei was dumbfounded! The courage he had just mustered was instantly shattered, and the frenzied cheering of the crowd further submerged Da Fei! If I follow up, heās going to raise to 10 billion? 10 billion might not be much, but if my task fails or I donāt find any Goddessā Tears, how will the compensation be calculated?
Iām not the US Empire, who can casually owe trillions and take their time printing money to repay. Iām human; I need to eat, drink, and sleep! The key is, this isnāt something I absolutely need. Besides, itās not just the Seven Cities Alliance that has balloons; the goblin casino does too. With that much money, where canāt I get a balloon?
And at this moment, the uproar in the room was like a tidal wave, "Follow! Follow! Follow!"
Fatty, the manager, also gritted his teeth, "Lord City Lord, hold on, the Hell Race doesnāt have much money left! A mere 5 billion Gold Coins is just the output value of a few mining areas, and with your capability to capture a mine in three days, the myriad mining fields in the New World are just waiting for you to develop!"
My gosh, you all would love to shout, sky-high prices for crap! If I get pissed off, Iāll quit and stop playing! Fine, just raise it to 10 billion, and Iāll quit immediately!
Da Fei shakily raised his card, "5.1 billion!"
"Haha! Wahahaha!" The wild laughter from the Hell Box resounded through the auction hall, "In the end, just a fledgling brat, how could he possibly fight against a national power? For a nation, even 10 billion is nothing! Add 10 billion!"
billion! At that moment, the entire room was solemn! Even the host was stunned by the boldness!
And at this moment, Da Fei was burning with rage! Are you playing with me? Is the system deliberately playing with me? The Demon Skin I casually sold with a few pieces of S-level Thunder God equipment and a broken mine has now multiplied several times, tens of times? Do you believe I wonāt follow up?
Da Fei hurriedly asked, "Manager, didnāt you say I have a reputation bonus? Why has it had no effect?"
The manager solemnly said, "Lord City Lord, your reputation has always been in play, precisely because your reputation holds a decisive advantage, forcing the other side to constantly bid twice as much. Only in this way can they compete with you!"
What the heck, so itās my reputation that drove them so crazy? But this is driving me crazy too!
Da Fei sighed deeply, "Can I give up?"
Fatty, the manager, hurriedly said, "Lord City Lord, I can privately disclose three pieces of information. The greatest dream of one of your human Knight Family sponsors is to establish a small duchy in the New World. As long as you support them in military and commercial aspects, tens of billions in debt is nothing. If you do well, thereāll be additional rewards."
"Also, that Elf Lord, being a hero about to go cross-region to rescue Elven compatriots, he wonāt impose strict debt collection on you from any perspective. So thereās no need to worry."
"Furthermore, that dwarf merchantās dream is to salvage the legendary sunken treasure ship of the Dwarf Billionaire. For others, itās nearly impossible, but for the Lord City Lord, who is a God-level Navigator, it shouldnāt be a problem; this is one of the reasons he sponsors you!"
Wait a minute! The treasure ship of the Dwarf Billionaire?
Da Fei asked in shock, "Excuse me, whoās the legendary Dwarf Billionaire?" As Da Fei asked, he began searching the dialogue log with Gambling God Buffett at Fire Dragon Island.
"Dwarf Billionaire? Thatā" Fatty, the manager, was taken aback, then immediately looked aside. Sain promptly replied, "Bebble, the most fortunate dwarf in legend!"
Fatty, the manager, urgently said, "Yes, yes, itās him. Iām not interested in dead people, so it didnāt immediately come to mind!"
Oh my gosh! The luckiest dwarf! Sain, being a subordinate, how could you remember these things so vividly! Throughout history, if someone like you doesnāt get promoted, who will?
At this time, Da Fei also finally found Buffettās message from back then:
"āāBefore I came here, I was a hired mercenary on the luxury ship Obsidian at 120 Gold Coins a month without any extraordinary qualities. And the shipās captain, Bebble, was hailed as the luckiest and wealthiest dwarf in the Dwarf Kingdom. Compared to him, I was nothing. Then, on June 26, 89 Genesis, the Obsidian encountered a tempest and sank, and I became the only survivor. So tell me, who is the luckiest dwarf in the kingdom?ā (See Chapter 228 āGambling God Buffettā)
Found it! I never thought a casual piece of information from before could now be the reason for someoneās sponsorship of me? Which means paying back the debt might not be as hard as imagined? At that moment, Da Feiās confidence surged again!
At this time, Fatty, the manager, eagerly reminded, "Lord City Lord, two hammer sounds! A decision must be made!"
At this time, the entire room roared like a tsunami, and the wild laughter from the Hell VIP Room echoed even louder.
The host raised the big hammer high, "VIP Room 7, Impossible task plus 10 billion Gold Coins! Last chance!"
At this moment, influenced by the atmosphere in the room, Da Fei thought, I donāt believe it, try doubling it if you dare!
Da Fei once again raised his card, "10.1 billion Gold Coins!"
At this moment, the whole room ignited! Fatty, the manager, was even more excited, "They absolutely canāt outbid this!" (To be continued.
