This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature
Chapter 388 - 246: Celestial Peace Pavilion
On the third day of the Spring Festival holiday, Tianba Studio launched the official game trading platform—Celestial Peace Pavilion!
The platform quickly gained the favor of countless players upon its debut.
After all, the official trading platform is bound to be far more reliable than third-party platforms. Using this platform for account or in-game item trades will provide ample security assurance.
Xiao Jie thought the same.
He’s a newbie player in "Speeding Frenzy," having started the game less than half a month ago guided by his friends.
The game is very fun, highly competitive, and hands down the most professional in history, featuring all elements other racing games have, plus additional features unique to "Speeding Frenzy."
Because of this, Xiao Jie became quite addicted.
Unfortunately, he started playing too late. Despite purchasing many Game Coins through game merchants, he still can’t acquire a series of fun and rare racing cars.
For example, the Old Man’s Joy!
Yes, you heard right! In "Speeding Frenzy," the Old Man’s Joy initially was just a despised shabby car, without even room reserved for it in the garage.
No one at the time would have thought that the Old Man’s Joy would eventually become discontinued, turning into one of the rarest and most unusual models in the game!
Xiao Jie got into the game too late.
By the time he started playing, the 4S shop in the game no longer sold Old Man’s Joy.
Is Old Man’s Joy really powerful?
No, it’s not!
This beaten-up car is looked down upon for a reason; its performance and modification potential are utterly garbage.
But it’s discontinued, and that’s the reason!
As the saying goes, discontinued means rare, discontinued means superior; thirty years east, thirty years west. It used to be available for casual purchase but now stands as unattainable.
Any account with an Old Man’s Joy in its garage could easily sell for four to five hundred on third-party trading platforms, can you believe it?
And in the game’s "Used Car Trading Center," a well-maintained Old Man’s Joy with sufficient vehicle durability starts at ten million.
Of course, that’s in Game Coins...
Even so, it’s rather extravagant! After all, by current market rates, ten million Game Coins amounts to at least seven or eight hundred.
Old Man’s Joy=Fire Kirin, putting it this way makes it easier to understand!
Xiao Jie very much wants an Old Man’s Joy, even though its performance and modification potential are trash. Discontinued means rare, driving an Old Man’s Joy in "Speeding Frenzy" would be so cool!
Because of this, upon hearing about the Celestial Peace Pavilion launch, Xiao Jie planned to purchase a high-durability Old Man’s Joy or directly buy an account character with one in the garage.
"Why are there so few things?"
He opened the page excitedly, only to find the number of listed items was meager, spread across merely five pages, leaving Xiao Jie extremely disappointed.
But he understood.
After all, Celestial Peace Pavilion just launched, with not many players aware of it yet, meaning not many have listed their characters or in-game items, resulting in fewer items displayed.
Oh well, he would return later to check again!
As Xiao Jie was about to exit Celestial Peace Pavilion, planning to return later when more items were available, he caught sight of a character priced starting at 1 yuan.
"Huh? Can it be auctioned?"
Xiao Jie was no stranger to such one-yuan starting, multi-bidding models, as he had participated in numerous online judicial auctions before.
He just didn’t expect that game characters could be sold in this manner, which was quite surprising.
"Why is there only one picture?"
Opening the product’s description details, he found only one screenshot, leaving Xiao Jie a little dumbfounded; what could he discern from a single picture?
Absolutely nothing!
Why don’t you just capture the garage and workshop details page? A single picture provides no insight; is this possibly a scam?
[Official certification: Ba personal exclusive account]
Upon clicking the information section, seeing only this brief line, Xiao Jie’s eyes widened instantly.
Ba’s exclusive account?
Wow, this is extraordinary! No wonder the description is so skimpy, and there’s only one screenshot—it’s actually Ba’s personal account!
Ba’s played account sure has a strong allure; within just half an hour, 147 people participated in the bidding, driving the account price shockingly from one yuan to 999 yuan.
Soon it will break a thousand!
For an account with undefined assets, unknown Game Coins, and garage vehicles, everything remains uncertain. Fetching such a price speaks volumes about Ba’s charisma.
Xiao Jie, having some spare money, joined the bidding, immediately inflating the price to five thousand yuan.
He initially planned to quit if someone matched his bid, but surprisingly, his offer seemed to intimidate many, leaving no one else daring to bid.
Possibly because, although it was Ba’s played account, nobody knew what was inside, leaving many hesitant to bid.
Another reason is Ba possessed multiple accounts, nearly one for every game, not just this one. There’s no need for others to persist against Xiao Jie.
In summary.
As the auction countdown ended, Xiao Jie won Ba’s account in "Speeding Frenzy" at a high bid of five thousand yuan.
No need to exchange the account password. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Once the transaction is complete, the game officials automatically transfer the character to Xiao Jie’s account, with resale barred for 30 days.
