Reborn with Infinite System Points, I Can Directly Change Item's Value

Creation Scroll

Just as the players in the nine private boxes were still considering what price to offer, an astonishing bid came from Box No. 1.

"Five million gold coins."

The moment John called out a price of five million gold coins, the entire venue fell into stunned silence.

Even the players in the nine private boxes were no exception.

No one had expected that John, who had only bid up to two million gold coins at most in the previous rounds, would actually throw out a sky-high offer of five million the instant he saw this scroll.

Five million gold coins—how much time would it take, and how many dungeons would one have to clear, to earn that much back?

"I’m getting more and more curious about who exactly is inside Box No. 1. He actually dares to call out five million gold coins!"

"This kind of wealth is crushing the whole room. No wonder his box is placed at the very top."

"With five million gold coins on the table, I doubt the players in the other nine boxes could possibly compete with him, no matter how rich they are."

"Looks like this scroll is as good as his already."

Nearly everyone present believed that the Dungeon Creation Scroll had already fallen into John’s hands.

After all, a price of five million was no ordinary astronomical bid.

For any auction item, that was already the absolute ceiling.

And yet, just then, a calm female voice came from Box No. 2.

"I bid five million and ten thousand gold coins."

Hiss—

The entire crowd sucked in a sharp breath.

None of them had expected that there would still be someone willing to challenge him.

Although she had only increased the bid by ten thousand gold coins, that extra ten thousand was being added on top of five million.

Were they really attending the same auction?

Inside the nine private boxes, Lucy looked at the wallet balance that had just updated and finally let out a breath of relief.

Just moments earlier, the players in the nine boxes had rapidly reached a consensus:

John absolutely could not be allowed to obtain the Dungeon Creation Scroll.

If he did, the gap between the major regions would only continue to widen.

And if war truly broke out in the future, who would be able to stop John then?

So no matter the cost, they had to prevent the scroll from ending up in his hands.

To make that happen, Lucy had personally used her own credit as collateral and borrowed one million from each of the other eight players.

Combined with the funds she already had, her wealth had now exceeded ten million gold coins.

Nominally, it was Lucy borrowing from the players of the eight major regions. But in reality, it was no different from the group pooling their money together.

After all, if Lucy chose not to repay them after returning, the others would have no way to do anything to her because of the regional restrictions.

Even so, despite the risk of never getting their money back, they were still determined to do everything they could to block John.

"Come on, John. Let me see just how many trump cards you still have."

A gleam flashed in Lucy’s eyes as she gazed up at the box above hers.

Just as she thought victory was already within her grasp, John’s lazy voice rang out again from Box No. 1.

"Six million five hundred thousand gold coins."

Buzz!

Hearing him raise the bid by one and a half million gold coins in a single jump, the entire crowd almost thought they were hallucinating.

"No way! He just added one and a half million in one go?"

"Who exactly is in Box No. 1?"

"In the entire server, how many players could possibly have this kind of wealth?"

"This is terrifying. I’m seriously starting to suspect the person in Box No. 1 is a plant hired by Mystic Merchant."

...

When Lucy heard John’s bid, there was not much surprise on her face.

A faint smile curved her lips.

"Looks like he’s close to his limit too."

Then she decisively called out, "Six million five hundred and ten thousand gold coins."

After naming that price, Lucy leaned back in her chair with complete confidence and crossed her legs.

She believed that number was enough to crush the person in Box No. 1.

Six million five hundred thousand gold coins was probably the other party’s entire fortune.

Any higher than that, and he simply wouldn’t be able to afford it.

"Seven million five hundred thousand."

Who would have thought that in the very next moment, an even more absurd number would be thrown out?

Lucy’s expression instantly froze.

Her eyes darkened.

"This bastard... just how much money does he have left?"

"Looks like I’ll have to use my final move."

Lucy took a deep breath.

Then, without hesitation, she shouted an outrageous figure.

"Eleven million!"

That was every last coin she had available.

If John could still outbid her after that, then Lucy could only accept defeat.

Even Mystic Merchant Harun on the stage was shaken.

His voice trembled slightly as he announced, "Box No. 2 bids eleven million. Is there anyone willing to go higher?"

Even he felt that this price had already reached the absolute limit.

A Dungeon Creation Scroll that only had a chance of dropping the Codex of Assassin had already been pushed to its extreme value.

Unless it were guaranteed to drop the Codex of Assassin, he truly could not imagine what kind of person would be willing to spend more than eleven million to fight over this item.

...

The more than nine hundred players below the stage had already fallen into a daze.

"Eleven million... how many years would it take us to save up that much?"

"My god, casually bidding into the tens of millions? This auction is insane!"

"Even if we don’t win a single item today, just watching this bidding war was worth it."

The audience all believed that eleven million was enough to secure the Dungeon Creation Scroll once and for all.

But reality once again proved different from what they expected.

"Eleven million and ten thousand."

This time, it was John who countered Lucy by raising the price by a mere ten thousand.

And Lucy truly had no more cards left to play.

Inside Box No. 2, she collapsed into her chair in despair.

It was as though all the life had been drained from her body.

Staring blankly at Box No. 1 above her, Lucy muttered with lifeless eyes, "Madman. That guy is a complete madman."

The players in the other eight boxes also fell silent one after another.

Only now did the bidding war finally come to an end.

Mystic Merchant Harun counted down the final three seconds in succession.

After confirming that no one would offer a higher price, he shouted, "Congratulations to the guest in Box No. 1 for winning the Dungeon Creation Scroll!"

At nearly the same moment, a system prompt rang in John’s ears.

[11.01 million gold coins deducted. Congratulations, player, on obtaining the Dungeon Creation Scroll!]

Looking at the wallet balance, which had only decreased by part of his total wealth, John’s expression remained completely calm.

During this period of time, he had been grinding dungeons, snatching first-kill boss rewards, and on top of that, the Special Structure in Overlord Main City had been collecting a huge amount of revenue from players every single day.

The gold coins he had accumulated had long since exceeded ten million.

That was the real reason he had dared to keep raising the bid so recklessly.

Even if the people before him had never truly intended to buy the competing items, he still could have taken them all without the slightest pressure.

John looked at the dungeon scroll that had appeared in his hand.

Its relevant information immediately floated before his eyes.

[Dungeon Creation Scroll]

[Quality]: Platinum-grade

[Effect]: After use, generates a platinum-grade boss dungeon.

Contained drops: Codex of Assassin, random S-grade skill, hidden clues to other Codex of Classes...

[Note]: Please be aware that after this dungeon is generated, only the user may enter. No teammates may be brought along. Each user should carefully confirm whether their own combat power is sufficient to solo the dungeon. Otherwise, if you die inside, this dungeon will disappear.

...

"There are even hidden clues to other Codex of Classes?"

The moment he saw that line, a sharp gleam burst from John’s eyes.
