"Honoured guest, this is the the card you use to participate in the auction. Not only that, after your item is auctioned off, you may collect the money using the same card" the clerk explained in detail for Liu Yan.
"Alright…" Liu Yan took the card and examined it.
"For privacy, we recommend our guests to wear this mask." The clerk pulled out a mask that covered the eyes.
"Thank you," he took it and put it on.
"Thank you, honoured guest. Please enjoy the event." The clerk opened the door to a huge auditorium. The seats were many and vast.
A lady with long blue hair, clothed in a qipao that showed her cleavage approached with a sweet, charming smile. "Greetings, deared guest. Which level do you belong to?"
"The white zone." Liu Yan said bluntly. These ladies in the event only attach themselves to the rich. No flattery was going for them.
"Ah, I see." The lady's eyes almost immediately dimmed. She said flatly.
She led him over to free seats, "This is your seat, sir. The buttons on the chair will led you bid. Please be careful and not press the buttons accidentally." She explained.
"If you want to bid, please do so before the count to three, any bids after three will not count." She emphasised.
"Thank you for your service." Liu Yan took his seat and watched the event. The lady bowed before taking her leave.
A good 10 minutes had passed by,
"Now this is one of the best you can take! A 10 thousand year old right arm spirit bone, obtained from a Obsidian Badger! Starting price, 100 thousand gold coins, minimum price increase is 10 thousand gold coins. Auction begins!!" The person in charge smashed the pallet with the wooden hammer.
Gasp, Thwack
Everyone stared in shock before excitement overcame them. Everyone who could hid started bidding as much as they could.
"150 thousand gold coins from our friend in the white zone!"
"170 thousand gold coins from our friend in the blue zone!"
"180 thousand gold coins from our friend in the blue zone!"
"200 thousand gold couns from our friend in the white zone!"
The bidding continued on and on.
Liu Yan watched in silence… was this a good investment.
"I would recommend going for a 70-100 thousand increase." A man beside Liu Yan said.
Liu Yan looked at the man, dressed in what seems to be luxurious clothing.
"This must be… Ning FengZhi." Liu Yan remembered his name, before nodding and pressing a button.
"370 thousand!! From our friend in the white zone!"
Whispers and murmurs went through the auditorium. Such a big jump was unexpected, if anyone wanted to go next, their pride would make them want to bid as much as the previous person, spending unnecessary money.
"Going once!"
"Going twice!"
"And… SOLD!!"
The man in charge smashed the hanmer onto the pallet.
The event continued on.
The door swung open, before Tang San and Xiao Wu were led to sit beside Liu Yan.
"Liu Yan, what are you doing here?" Tang San asked quietly.
"I was attracted by the grandness in the building." Liu Yan made up his reason.
"I see, have you bought anything yet?"
"There was a soul bone, it was from an Obsidian Badger. Perfect for me, so I bought it."
"Woah! Even in these places, finding soul bones are rare!"
"Now, we have our next item on the list! A mysterious weapon known as the Sand Shooting Shadow!" The man announced.
"This is the first ever in the market and even better, this item will only be sold right here! Right now!"
"That is perfect…" Xue Xing grinned while twirling a gold soul coin.
"I can get this for the emperor. How delighted he'll be when he receives this weapon."
"And even better, it's one of a kind!"
"380 thousand from our friend in the red zone!"
"Going once!"
Dii
"680 thousand from our friend in the white zone!"
"Huh!! Who dares bid against me!" Xue Xing watched in shock.
He frantically pressed another button, before his assistant could stop him.
"Prince Xue Xing, please don't act rashly!"
"Scram, you idiot!" He pushed his assistant off.
"1.2 million gold coins from our friend in the red zone! Going once! Going twice!"
"And sold!!!"
"Heh, serve these fools right! You can't compete against me at all!" Xue Xing laughed loudly.
"Xiao San, congrats on making so much." Liu Yan congratulated Tang San on his sale.
"It was not my promoting that helped. I should thank the gentleman beside you." Tang San gestured towards Ning FengZhi.
"Now! Onto our second last auction item!"
A gigantic structure was pushed out, covered in cloth.
"This is an item, created with soul power. It can act as a bodyguard, a weapon, something to spar with! Anything you can imagine on the field!"
"The starting price! Is 20 thousand!"
The cloth was yanked off, revealing the golem that Liu Yan had created earlier.
"Liu Yan! What is that?" Xiao Wu asked with interest.
"It's a golem… I created it using only first soul skill. I figured out the layout and structure for moving joints and created the golem you see now. Injecting soul power, and you will be able to command it. I made sure it could withstand a lot of attacks before it could break"
Xiao Wu nodded and watched with interest, people were once again bidding constantly.
"How… perculiar…" Ning FengZhi heard the explanation. Before bidding himself.
"This should be worth a lot more. I should get it if it can act as a shield in case of attacks."
"70 thousand gold coins!"
"100 thousand gold coins!"
"110 thousand gold coins!"
"170 thousand gold coins!!"
"210 thousand gold coins from our friend in the white zone!"
"Going once!"
"Going twice!"
"And sold!!" The man smashed his hammer onto the pallet once more.
Liu Yan looked to his left and thank the man. "Thank you, sir. For buying my product."
Ning FengZhi stared in slight disbelief, this unknown person, who sounded like he was on the younger side of age created a golem. Interesting indeed.
