Online Games: Billions Spent on In-app Purchases, Archery Becomes a God

He knew that a successful auction should generally follow a ’tiger head – pig body – phoenix tail’ sequence for equipment auctions.

The ’tiger head’ was to attract all players from the very beginning, necessitating the display of good treasures.

The ’pig body’ was a compromise made to extend the duration of the auction.

After all, you couldn’t possibly have over 100 gold artifacts!

Therefore, it was impossible to keep players attracted from beginning to end.

The ’phoenix tail’ required saving a few rare, climactic items for the very end of the auction.

This would provide a perfect conclusion to the auction, keeping most players until the end.

At the same time, it would leave them with a deep impression that this auction had many treasures!

This could attract players to participate in future auctions!

So, both Ye Xingyu and Mother Fu were involved in the design of this auction.

Ye Xingyu checked the time.

He felt it was about right.

The items used to ’mix the fish eyes with pearls’ had been on for half an hour.

It was time for a batch of truly exquisite items to be brought out.

Things unfolded exactly as Ye Xingyu expected.

Soon after, when the next auction item was just presented, it immediately drew exclamations from most players present:

”Wow—! My legs are aching from anticipation! Finally, the golden hunter bow is being brought out!”

”Oh my god! It’s here, it’s here, it’s coming out riding on auspicious multi-colored clouds! Seven-colored legendary!”

That’s right.

The item suddenly brought out for auction was the golden hunter bow +20 that Ye Xingyu had previously used!

It was the only gold-grade weapon currently accessible to all players in the Xia Country Server Region that had been successfully enhanced 20 times.

Its value was absolutely maximized!

The entire sturdy bow was enveloped in a seven-colored glow, dreamlike and ethereal.

No one had ever witnessed such an exquisite weapon enhanced to +20 before!

Because most players who hadn’t pre-charged or obtained VIP status could only enhance their weapons and equipment up to +10.

They didn’t even have the qualification for +20.

And now, the golden hunter bow +20 was displayed before everyone’s eyes.

Countless players couldn’t help but be excited!

”This is a +20 exquisite weapon! It’s truly beautiful!”

”If only my sword were also +20 (✪ω✪)”

”Seriously, although the original level of this bow is only 10, its attack power after enhancement is comparable to a level 30 gold artifact! For me, it’s perfectly usable right now!”

Some people also mentioned:

”This bow was used by Falling Nine Heavens before, right? Since he’s willing to sell it, doesn’t that mean he’s obtained an even better weapon?”

”Are you being a country bumpkin? The number one weapon on the equipment leaderboard right now, that enhanced +20 dark gold bow, is Fallen God’s current weapon! For the great Fallen God, he definitely gets a better one before discarding his old weapon!”

”Hah! You’re making me feel so ashamed! My bronze bow is far inferior to what even a big shot discards ＞︿＜”

Many Archer players calculated.

So this weapon, originally only level 10, after being enhanced to +20, had significantly higher attack power than their level 15 silver artifact bows!

It truly shocked all Archer players!

”A +20 gold artifact! That’s really fierce!”

”Its attack power is a full 35% higher than my +10 silver artifact bow. The key is that my silver artifact bow is level 15, not level 10!”

”It can probably be used until level 30.”

...Most Archer players were very interested in the golden hunter bow!
