Zhou Yue's live stream room.

Inside the chaotic air freight container, Zhou Yue exerted all his strength, engaging in a battle of wits and courage with his opponent.

Last night, he and Zhong Yi were so angry that they went to the Burial Soul Sea and blasted the entire fish demon tribe to vent their anger.

On the way back, Zhong Yi suddenly had an epiphany and shared a strategy for using the knife in "King of Auctions" with Zhou Yue.

In other words, it's about using stable characters on low-level maps to make a small profit of 10,000 to 20,000 per game through hard work.

Zhou Yue specially spent spirit stones to buy Luna and found that this strategy really works!

Luna is Elsa from the game in her previous life. Her skill is to display the outline of a collection of different colors and qualities each turn, increasing from white to purple.

The resources on the container map are of relatively low quality, and large shipments are rarely available.

As long as you don't get greedy, don't get carried away, and don't gamble on unfounded gains...

After clearly understanding the four types of collectibles—white, green, blue, and purple—it's very difficult to lose money!

For example, right now, we've reached the fourth round, and there are only two single items left in the huge container that aren't showing up. It's obviously a game where everyone's broke.

"Eighty-eight thousand, take it or leave it."

Zhou Yue's tone was cold and slightly numb, completely devoid of the passion he had shown earlier.

Faced with the questions raised in the live chat, Zhou Yue answered confidently:

"I'll give it to him as soon as it's red; I'll treat it all as a small gold ingot worth 10,000!"

He strictly adhered to this principle throughout the entire night, and as a result, he never went bankrupt again.

His opponents all used Mai Xiaowen, and it seems they only found low-quality collectibles. In the end, no one could outbid him for 88,000, and Zhou Yue successfully took over the warehouse.

"The lottery results... Holy crap?! Both single numbers are red???"

Zhou Yue was shocked.

Although both were low-ranking, and their combined value was still less than 200,000, this was still his luckiest game of the night.

"Hahaha! My luck has turned around!"

Zhou Yue burst into genuine laughter.

At this point, the comments section was filled with jokes and banter.

【Hey Zhou, you've been scavenging all night. Could you show the brothers what a better place is like?】

【It really does look like a knife-wielding drill】

【Others are busy bidding fiercely for gold, but you're doing the complete opposite.】

【Wow, Zhou has 5 million already? Time to go all in on the sunken ship!】

【Old Zhou has been transferred to a different program; the change of program has been approved.】

...

Zhou Yue was tempted by the comments.

He earned 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a night by picking up trash, and managed to go from 2 million to 5 million yuan, all through hard work.

"No, no, this model has to be stable to make money! Those kinds of places..."

As Zhou Yue spoke, he opened the item supply reward from the battle pass, and suddenly froze.

"Holy crap!! I got a golden item!! My luck has really turned around???"

At this moment, Zhou Yue was a little dizzy.

Something's not right. Something's extremely wrong.

He had always thought that this item pack could only yield green items...

What the heck is this golden prop?

You can still see the top-tier gold items with the total number of red collectibles!

"Your luck is on the horizon... seize it! Seize it!"

Zhou Yue didn't dare to waste a minute and hurriedly switched the map to 【Deep Sea Shipwreck】.

"Oh no, the character hasn't changed... Won't Luna look outdated here?"

Zhou Yue suddenly felt embarrassed.

Those who possess a fortune of 5 million at this stage are players with some skill and understanding.

Two nameless, one deep blue.

Zhou Yue, using Luna to view lower-tier collectibles, stood on the bidding platform, looking rather awkward, like a country bumpkin visiting the city.

The comments section burst into laughter.

【You're a country bumpkin, so what if you're a little rustic?】

Wow! This warehouse is huge!

【What a huge warehouse!】

【Could you really find a fat warehouse in jail? I don't believe it; it's probably full of rotten fish.】

【What's there to be afraid of when you have props? Let's see how many red ones you have!】

...

The first publicly released auction news was quite explosive:

【The total number of grids occupied by all collectibles is 269】.

Zhou Yue stared wide-eyed.

He spent the entire night picking through the trash in the container; he had never seen such a large warehouse before.

Reminded by the comments, he hurriedly used the golden item 【Rare Item Scan】 that he had just drawn.

【All red-quality collectibles occupy a total of 86 grids】.

"???"

Zhou Yue was so excited he almost forgot to breathe.

86 grids!

This warehouse full of red collectibles contains more than a whole container of trash he scavenged from the shipping container!

"Calm down, calm down... Pfft! Calm down my ass! I killed him instantly!!!"

Zhou Yue decisively offered 3 million.

To his disappointment, one of the three bid 1.6 million, preventing him from successfully securing the item immediately.

To make matters worse, his quote completely exposed the information, and everyone knew that there were quite a few red coins in this warehouse.

What follows is bound to be a bloodbath!

"Damn it, how am I supposed to quote a price now...?"

Zhou Yue couldn't help but hesitate.

If it comes down to comparing family wealth in the end, his net worth of just 5 million is definitely no match for the others.

The live stream chat was flooded with suggestions.

【I went all in on the second round. They didn't know how many reds they had and couldn't react in time... If we dragged it out any longer, we'd really be out! We can't have all 86 reds being useless, right? If I could lose this, I'd devour the entire Illusion Tower on the spot!!】

When Zhou Yue caught a glimpse of this comment, his mind immediately began to anticipate what was happening.

That makes perfect sense!

Zhou Yue was immediately invigorated, and without further hesitation, he put up all of his savings of 5.16 million.

"All in!!"

Zhou Yue roared.

As expected, bidder number 2, an anonymous bid of 3.2 million, was just barely won by Zhou Yue.

"That was close..."

Zhou Yue patted his chest with lingering fear, then couldn't help but get excited.

"Shipping, shipping, shipping..."

His eyes were fixed on the warehouse.

One after another, red collectibles began to pop out.

"25 squares??? What does that mean???"

"【Imperial Auspicious Cloud Zodiac Plate】...188,000?? Is that even human??"

"No rush, no rush, another big shipment is coming... 15 squares sideways! Definitely not rotten fish!"

"【Mixed-blood Red Hare】, 290,000... Can you sit at the same table as Stinky Fish?"

"It's okay, it's okay, just relax, just relax..."

"A 16-panel 【rosewood screen】 selling for 360,000?! I'm speechless..."

"Another 15-slot character, could it be..."

"...Get lost, you stinky fish!!"

...

One after another, the red collectibles were all, without exception, scams perpetrated by fraudsters.

This scene startled Lu Ze, who was watching it in Zhong Yi's live stream.

Because he knew very well that the warehouse in "King of Auctions" was different from the container in "Xianyuanzhou Action," and the collectibles inside were already determined at the beginning of the game.

There are no goods in the same warehouse; Zhou Yue's warehouse is full of junk, while others' warehouses are full of good goods.

So how do we explain Zhou Yue's situation...?

Perhaps everything was already predetermined from the moment that 【Rare Item Scan】 was obtained?

At this moment, Zhou Yue's face was completely red.

He never imagined in his life that the total value of 86 red items would only be a little over 3 million...

I lost 1.6 million in one go!

"Who just said they wanted to eat from the Illusion Tower? Come out here..."

Zhou Yue was immediately furious and began frantically searching through the bullet comments, quickly finding that long and tedious comment.

The sender of the comment was clearly stated as: 【Genius Cultivator】.

Zhou Yue's face turned even redder.

"Grass!!!"

"It really was you!!!"

...

...

The gameplay of "King of Auctions" is very simple.

Get information, estimate prices, make offers, and launch the market.

With the existing mechanism of searching for items using divine sense, which involves tomb raiding, cultivators can easily learn and understand it, and are very likely to become addicted to it.

The reason is simple—

In essence, "King of Auctions" is not an auction game, but a gambling game disguised as an auction.

Stimulated by skills, items, different quality profiles, and various random information, players are very willing to become gamblers.

Each auction only takes four or five minutes, making for a very fast-paced experience.

Lu Ze launched a new event in "Xianyuanzhou Action" where players can receive limited-time points by participating in daily auctions.

After participating for seven consecutive days, you can obtain a limited-edition red collectible: a 【Charity Auction Jade Pendant】.

This move is tantamount to the official promotion of "King of Auctions" by the "Delta Force" team in the previous game.

Even though the small workshop in the previous life did not have any promotion and was directly launched on Steam, it was still able to achieve good results.

With "Xianyuanzhou Action" as its endorsement, "King of Auctions" has naturally become a hit.

In just one night, 70% of players have already entered "King of Auctions".

Half of the players stayed and played for more than three hours.

Many even stayed up all night to play.

Lu Ze looked at the backend data and nodded in satisfaction.

This number was even higher than he had expected.

From "Slaying Tower" to "King of Auctions," the cultivators' enthusiasm has exceeded his expectations, which is enough to show their love for random gameplay.

"It seems that people in the cultivation world really love gambling..."

Lu Ze muttered to himself as he began to divide the user groups in the backend according to their geographical location.

Lu Ze listed Lu Ze as a key user who had been a regular user of the Da Gan Dynasty.

Even if they don't play "Xianyuanzhou Action", they will still try to get the other party into "King of Auctions" through various means.

After dealing with everything, Lu Ze exited the illusion.

Compared to the illusion that can be completed in half a day, the other matter is more troublesome.

"Next..."

"It's basically transplanting the illusion into the secret realm."
