578 Part 2: Viper City's auction



From MC's perspective:

Auction:

"200,000, one time"

"200,000, second time"

"And"

"Third time"

"The auction goes to Miles' company," The presenter Billy said.

Hearing that audience clapped their hands. Finally, they can see the next auction item. No one wants to see the auction go for long.

Right after, the two beautiful ladies took the item and handed it over to the next team. A few seconds later, they brought other items to the table.

The presenter Billy took a moment before saying, "The next auction item is a favorite for warriors. It's a Grade- 4 Weapon. The double ax weapon. It's done by famous blacksmith Rick."

"The basic price is 200,000 credit points," When Billy uttered these words. 

"220,000"

"230,000"

.

.

.

"240,000"

The bidding began to heart once again. The bidders are starting to raise the price.

1st room:

"This is going nowhere," I muttered to myself.

The Grade 4 weapon can be used by the Elite Warrior. But back in the academy everyone has it. Slowly, I'm starting to realize the reality of the civilians.

Ernest didn't make any comment but he kept looking at the auction item.

Time went by,

All the important items were sold as the time passed.

Finally, the presenter Billy removes the cover. And there was a dark pill placed on the wooden box.

Seeing that the audience was surprised for a moment.

"The next item is the famous bitter pill. Specially made for the warriors who are interested in improving their physique."

"The pill has an effect below the Elite Stage. Anyone above using it will have slight improvement," Billy said.

"The basic bid is 50,000 Credit points. Interested people can start the price," Billy added.

"60,000"

A burly man seated below raised the price. Looking at his physique, anyone can tell that he is someone with brute strength.

"70,000"

"80,000"

.

.

.

"90,000"

"10,000"

The price starts to soar up again.

In the 1st room,

"Ernest, you can finish the bid," I turned towards Ernest and said.

Ernest was surprised. Then he asked,"Zack, are you buying it?"

Hearing that I nodded my head at him. He doesn't know that I'm a super elite warrior in body strength alone.

I want to try the effect of the bitter pill.

Ernest seems fine. He didn't raise any more questions. 

"15,000"

Presenter Billy said.

"If anyone wants to add on, they can do it," He added.

Seeing that no one is willing to bid more. 

"15,000, one time"

"15,000, second time"

"20,000," Ernest said.

Gasp~

Hearing that everyone was gasping. Faces of the warriors who bid earlier turned ugly. Then everyone saw the voice coming from the V.I.P room.

Then everyone quieted down. 

"Hmmm, why does it sound familiar?" In the 2nd room, Kane's friend muttered.

But Kane closed his eyes and took a small nap. He instructed his friend to wake him up when a cleansing flower came up for the bidding.

So he didn't know what's going on outside.

The presenter Billy saw the response coming from the V.I.P area. He showed a big smile on his face.

One of the rules is that he can't reveal his identity. 

"20,000 asked by our V.I.P on the 1st room"

"Is there anyone willing to ask further?" Billy asked.

Ernest has purposely increased the price. So that no one can think of raising by small amounts.

This has sent a message to everyone. Even if someone bids, then they will increase the price.

Seeing that no one is asking. Billy started to count.

"20,000, one time"

"20,000, second time"

"and"

"20,000, third time"

"Now, the auction item goes to our V.I.P in the 1st room," Billy said.

Hearing that two ladies came forward to receive the item. Then they will send it back to the customer.

A few minutes later,

The staff brought the item to us. I received the wooden box and opened it. A dark pill was placed in it. I can already smell the scent of herbs..

After closing it, I asked,"Shall we go back?"

"Are you not interested in seeing what those guys have come for?" Ernest asked.

He thought Zack would definitely be interested in seeing Kane Patrick.

A faint smile appeared on my face. 

"There is no need to make unnecessary trouble. We can leave now," I said.

Hearing that Ernest agreed. Then we left the room and walked to the office through the back door.

Manager Audrey was full of smiles.

"Mr. Zack, are you satisfied?" In his office, the manager asked.

"Well, I'm satisfied. But at the same time, I want to sell some monster cores," I said.

There are plenty of Class-4 monster cores in my hands. They barely raise my strength. Ever since, my body strength has become Super Elite.

It's demanding higher level monster cores. So low level monster cores barely produce blood energy.

The other hand, Ernest frowned. Actually, the academy has a treasure hall where they can sell their collections. 

He doesn't understand why Zack is going.

Manager Audrey's face has become even more bright. Zack Lockwood was a famous warrior. Everyone with little influence is aware that he is a lightning warrior.

"Mr.Zack, I'm glad that you can do business with us."

"You can tell us your needs," The manager said.

Hearing that, I responded with a smile before saying,"Well, if your company gets any strange items, you can get it from me before placing it for auction, " I replied.

"Mr. Zack, don't worry. We will watch out for such items," The manager said.

Then I brought the Class-4 Monster Cores outside. There are 10 cores. 

"Mr. Zack, you know Class-4 monster cores goes for less than 50,000" 

"But our auction house is ready to buy it for 50,000 each."

"All for 500,000"

The manager said. Hearing that, I nodded my head in satisfaction. 

The deal was better than I thought. I also know that the auction house is making connections with me. So they are ready to pay such a price.

After getting paid, we bid goodbye to the auction house. Walking out of the auction house, Ernest couldn't help but ask,"Zack, why didn't you go for our Treasure Hall?" 

"Treasure Hall?"

"Well, I'm not here for money. But I'm hoping that they will find something," I replied.

Ernest seemed to understand. Then he didn't raise any questions.

A few minutes later,

The falcon bird monster leaves the Viper city and flies towards the academy.

On the back of the monster. Ernest and I start discussing.

"2 days later, there will be a start of internal competition between the Factions," Ernest said.

"Do we need to participate as well?" I asked.

Ernest looked at me strangely before saying,"As we are smaller in numbers. We don't have to participate. But what if someone challenges you, are you going to agree?"

Hearing that I shook my head. 

Before coming to the academy, the teacher said that I will study here for 2 years. But now looking at the changes. Especially after hearing Jonathan's words.

I think I will leave the academy after the year -end competition. If not for the year end competition, he would have taken me right away.

At the same time, I think Jonathan has a separate mission as well. 

The other hand, Ernest is reading an online post.

2 hours later,

The falcon bird monster entered back the academy space and softly landed on the platform in the transit area.

When we walked out of the place. I saw that Ernest's expression is weird.

"What happened?" I asked.

He is constantly looking at online posts.

Ernest's expression was solemn. 

"Zack, important news. The internal competition is going to be huge. I never expected everyone to end their retreat."

"Not only the genius elite warriors are coming back. Even those who are super elite are also going to be present," Ernest said.

My eyes flickered. For a long time, I have heard there are strong warriors practicing secrets. Are they coming back? A faint smile appeared on my face.

Looks like the event won't be boring.

"Zack, why are you smiling?"

"Do you know what it means?"

"Everyone will target you, especially those guys from the Flame and Metal Faction," Ernest said in a solemn tone. 

"I'm looking forward to it," I replied without showing much expression on his face. 

Ernest was shocked. Then he realized Zack has no rival in the same stage. Maybe that's why he is confident.

"Zack, I know you are invisible in the same stage. But those Super Elite Warriors might target you. You have to be careful of them also," Ernest said.

Hearing that I nodded at him. Then we parted ways after reaching the dormitory. Soon, I reached my room. 

After entering inside, I closed the door and walked to the training room. I can't wait to consume the bitter pill.

Then I sat down cross-legged on the ground. I took the wooden box from the storage bracelet. 

After removing the cover, I took the dark pill and swallowed it.

Meanwhile,

Kane Patrick successfully bought the Yellow Cleansing Flower. Which was the special auction item placed at last. 

After buying the item, Kane Patric is ready to leave the auction house.
