Jason bid 4100 Escape Coins, trying to gauge if anyone would continue bidding on the longsword.

  After all, that price was already high, completely exceeding what a 2-Rank equipment should cost.

  Even if someone could afford it, there was no need to buy a longsword at such a high price.

  But soon, the bid under the 2-Rank longsword changed to 4500 Escape Coins.

  Someone really was bidding again.

  Jason frowned. He could tell that the bidder was determined to get the 2-Rank longsword.

  Ellie, sitting in Jason's lap, asked in surprise, "Jason, do you think the bidder is making a lot of Escape Coins like we are, with an ability similar to blueprint acquisition?"

  They knew that Jason had been making a lot of Escape Coins these past few days with his blueprint acquisition ability.

  Jason could afford to buy a 2-Rank longsword at a high price because he had a lot of Escape Coins and didn't care about the expense. What made the other person so confident in bidding?

  Even they could see that it wasn't cost-effective to buy a 2-Rank equipment at such a high price.

  Could the bidder also have a similar blueprint acquisition ability, not caring about buying an equipment at a high price?

  The girls gathered around Jason, chattering amongst themselves.

  Some were worried that it wasn't cost-effective for Jason to buy an equipment at a high price, while others were angry that the bidder was maliciously inflating the price, causing Jason to spend more Escape Coins.

  Even Chloe and Kira became very serious. They could see from the world auction channel that there were quite a few people with power and resources around the world.

  In the future, Jason would definitely have no shortage of enemies and competitors.

  This made them feel a sense of urgency, wanting to become stronger as soon as possible to help Jason.

  Jason smiled helplessly and explained to the girls, "There are so many people in the world. Even though I have the ability to acquire blueprints, other RV owners also have the ability to earn wealth."

  Not to mention Sonny, who was making a killing just by selling information. In the future, many people would buy information from him at high prices. And Joyce's honey for treating injuries could also earn a lot of Escape Coins.

  Others had things like luck bonuses, doubled resources, increased production in planting and breeding, making medicines, weapons, and so on – all ways to earn a lot of Escape Coins.

  The girls nodded understandingly, each feeling a sense of gravity and worry.

  There were so many powerful and capable teams around the world, and they were all thinking about how they could help Jason and the entire team.

  Jason also noticed the sense of crisis in the girls' hearts but didn't say anything.

  The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  If the team didn't have a sense of crisis, it would become lazy and lack a competitive spirit.

  Both the environment in the RV and Jason's strength gave the girls a strong sense of security. But they had gradually lost the crisis and competition that came with survival.

  So Jason wanted to guide the girls to grow, so that they would become his help in the future, instead of letting them enjoy the comforts in the RV.

  Jason looked at the system, setting a price of 6000 Escape Coins for the longsword in his mind. Once it exceeded that price, he wouldn't continue bidding.

  Jason wasn't stupid. No matter how many Escape Coins he had, he couldn't waste them like that.

  So Jason bid 5000 Escape Coins.

  It was quickly raised to 5500 Escape Coins.

  Jason's eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, he immediately raised the price to his final limit: 6000 Escape Coins.

  But a moment later, the price was raised to 7000 Escape Coins.

  Jason couldn't help but smile dryly and didn't continue bidding.

  It was just a 2-Rank equipment. He could do without it.

  7000 Escape Coins for a 2-Rank equipment? He wondered what kind of sucker bid that price.

  Since Jason didn't continue bidding, the longsword was eventually sold for 7000 Escape Coins.

  ...

  Inside a tank.

  Looking at the 2-Rank longsword in his hand and the 7000 fewer Escape Coins, Luck couldn't help but gasp.

  Damn it, he got carried away with the bidding...

  "Big bro, isn't 7000 Escape Coins too expensive for a longsword?" A henchman in the RV asked.

  Luck, a middle-aged gangster in his forties, rolled his eyes in annoyance when he heard his henchman's question: "What do you know? Once I have this longsword, I can copy countless more. I can earn back the 7,000 Escape Coins in no time, and I'll even give you each one."

  The several henchmen in the RV were ecstatic when they heard this. Having a 2-Rank longsword in their hands would give them face. So they all expressed their willingness to shed blood and sweat for Luck.

  Luck sighed inwardly. He bid on the longsword because he had the ability to copy weapons.

  But no matter how many 2-Rank longswords he copied, no one would be able to afford them in the short term. He had finally managed to earn some Escape Coins these past few days, only to lose them all on a longsword.

  Luck was full of regret, feeling like he had lost everything.

  ...

  With the 2-Rank longsword sold, the world auction channel continued to auction off the next item.

  Shield: 2-Rank equipment.

  Starting price: 1000 Escape Coins, with a minimum bid increase of 100 Escape Coins.

  It was a defensive equipment, and many people with resources around the world participated in the bidding.

  For everyone, a shield was more valuable than the previous longsword.

  If someone on the team was holding a shield in the front, the team battle effect would be stronger than a longsword.

  The price of the shield was quickly raised to 3000 Escape Coins.

  But Jason bid 5000 Escape Coins directly, making everyone afraid to continue bidding.

  The price of a 2-Rank equipment was only around two or three thousand, and no one dared to raise the price any further.

  After all, there had already been a precedent of someone buying a longsword at a high price, and no one wanted to waste money.

  The shield was soon auctioned off to Jason for 5000 Escape Coins.

  *Bang*—A rectangular shield appeared in front of Jason, hitting the ground with a dull thud, and Jason also lost 5000 Escape Coins.

  The girls curiously picked up the shield to examine it.

  Jason wasn't in a hurry to distribute the equipment and continued to bid on the next auction item.

  The third auction item was a 2-Rank spear.

  Also with a starting price of 1000 Escape Coins, with a minimum bid of 100 Escape Coins.

  This kind of long weapon had a great advantage in killing monsters, and many people immediately participated in the bidding.

  This time, before Jason could bid, someone raised the price to 5000 Escape Coins first.

  Clearly, someone wanted to learn from Jason and take the spear with a price of 5000 Escape Coins.

  As expected, no one continued to bid.

  Everyone had a scale in their hearts. 5000 Escape Coins was already considered a high price, and basically no one would buy it.

  Jason naturally wouldn't give up bidding for the spear, raising the price to 6000 Escape Coins.

  Like the 2-Rank longsword, 6000 Escape Coins was the highest price Jason would pay.

  If someone continued to bid, Jason would naturally give up.

  But the price of 6000 Escape Coins was indeed too much for others, and no one was hot-headed like Luck to continue bidding.

  So the 2-Rank spear was also auctioned off to Jason.

  Now Jason had 15,000 Escape Coins left.

  The world auction channel continued to the next auction item.

  Flintlock Pistol: 2-Rank equipment, 6 rounds capacity, recovers one bullet every ten seconds.
