Chapter 212: The Auction Begins
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Finally, tonight’s auction officially began.
A male host wearing strange clothes walked to the center of the stage.
“Welcome, distinguished guests, to our auction. The auction will begin now. Are you ready?”
A violent commotion broke out below the stage!
Mike looked at the frenzied crowd below the stage and felt a little uncomfortable.
“Alright, let’s go on to the first item of tonight’s auction!”
On the stage, two beautiful girls dressed as bunnies were pushing a small cart covered with a red cloth as they slowly walked towards the center of the stage.
The host lifted the red cloth.
“The first item in tonight’s auction is a diamond quality breastplate! This breastplate can be applied to all professions. I believe everyone already has a rough idea of the price of the diamond quality.”
“The starting price is 10 million. Let’s start the bidding now!”
Mike quickly discovered the flaw of this breastplate through the system notification.
So, Mike said to himself, “This host is really amazing. He specifically picked out the advantages of this breastplate but said nothing about this flaw. I’m afraid that some fool will fall for it!”
Tegpus looked at Mike and said to him.
“Mike, what? Do you see the flaw in this breastplate? Tell me, let me verify if what you said is right.”
Mike said, “It has something to do with the material of this breastplate, right?”
Tegpus looked at Mike in approval.
Mike continued to speak.
“The flaw of this breastplate is that its material is made of rare metals with an extremely high level of hardness. Although it has an extremely high defensive ability, and can even be compared to a grandmaster-grade breastplate, it is precisely because of the hardness of this material that this breastplate can only be worn by people with a compatible figure! Moreover, in my opinion, the size of this breastplate would only be suitable for a child who has yet to develop. An adult could not wear it at all!”
Tegpus then said, “As expected of the person that Bert took a fancy to. It is also no wonder that a guy with a weird character like Bert would take a fancy to you!”
Mike contemplated Tegpus’s words.
In terms of weirdness, he thought that Bert was far behind when compared to Tegpus.
Mike continued to observe the proceedings of the auction.
In the end, this diamond-quality breastplate was bought by a middle-aged merchant uncle for the price of 148 million.
“Next is our second item. This item will appear on the stage of the Romon Auction for the last time. It is this alien meteorite!
“The size of this alien meteorite is huge. Regardless of its color, texture, or hardness, it is the best choice for forging high-tier equipment!
“The starting price is 800,000!
“Let the bidding begin now!”
“800,000!”
Mike said as he raised his sign.
The auctioneer was extremely excited when he saw Mike raise his sign.
“Finally, someone has made a bid. 800,000 going once!”
Mike and Tagopus were extremely happy at this moment.
They had not expected that 800,000 yuan would allow them to pick up such an important alien meteorite.
If the rest of the spectators knew that this piece of alien meteorite, which was only sold for 800,000 yuan, could be forged into a sword that was comparable to a master-level sword, they would probably stomp their feet in anger.
“800,000 twice!”
Just as the host’s third hammer was about to smash down, a voice sounded.
“One million.”
Mike looked in the direction of the voice. It was a strange man wearing a black robe.
Mike quickly continued to raise the price.
“1.2 million!”
The host was even more delighted.
“1.2 million going once!”
Before the host finished speaking, the black-robed man spoke again.
“2 million!”
Seeing that the person had continued to raise the price, Mike did not show any signs of weakness.
“2.6 million!”
Mike thought to himself that he had to take back such an important alien meteorite today.
“Five million!”
When he heard this number, the host could not believe his ears.
He said excitedly, “Five million going once, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?”
“Five million going twice!”
Mike saw that the host was eager to sell the meteorite at a high price of five million, so he continued.
“Six Million!”
Hearing this number, the guard behind the black-robed man said, “How dare this kid raise the price? It’s not like they can use the alien meteorite at all!”
The black-robed man instructed, “Continue to raise the price. If it exceeds ten million, then we don’t want it.”
The guard nodded and shouted at the host.
“Eight million!”
At this moment, the host was getting more and more excited.
“Eight million going once!”
Seeing that the black-robed man was still unrelenting in raising the bid, Mike continued to speak.
“Nine million!”
“Nine million going once!”
The hammer smashed down.
“Nine million going twice!”
“Master, do we still have to raise the bid?”
“Finally, raise it by another 500,000. If they still can’t get it, just give it to them.”
“9.5 million!”
Hearing this number, both Mike and Tegpus knew that the auction between the two of them was about to end.
“10 million!”
Mike shouted.
“10 million going once!
“10 million going twice!
“10 million going thrice!”
“Let’s congratulate our friend in the VIP seats for buying this alien meteorite for 10 million!”
Mike was extremely excited. This was his first time participating in an auction, and also his first time buying an item.
Although the purpose of this trip had been achieved, Tegpus gestured for Mike not to leave in a hurry.
“Let’s continue to see what else is good!”
Tegpus said.
“I believe that the distinguished male guests will definitely like the next item. This is a precious orc girl who has just come of age!”
The red cloth was lifted, and a naked cat-eared girl appeared in front of everyone.
She was locked in a cage.
She looked at the crowd below the stage with a face of despair.
Just as the red cloth was lifted, a violent tremor erupted below the stage.
“Don’t fight with me! This little beauty is mine!”
“Bullshit! How can I hand over such a beautiful woman?”
“How much money do you have in your pockets? Don’t you dare fight with me on this, hahahaha!”
Listening to the other participants fighting like wild beasts, Mike felt extremely uncomfortable once again.
It was as if he had returned to Lecter Square that day that he had been a spectator watching the stage.
After witnessing an unbridled decapitation, the people below the stage had been hysterically celebrating.
“The starting price is 8 million! Let the bidding begin!”
“10 million!”
“20 million!”
“25 million!”
“50 million!”
The price kept rising gradually.
It was gradually approaching 100 million.
“100 million!”
A voice suddenly sounded.
Mike looked in the direction of the voice and realized that this person was one of Kamps’ men that he had seen on the coastline the other day.
The man’s name was Cesar.
“Why are the Union people here?”
Mike asked in confusion.
“There are many entrances here, and one of them leads to the outside of the city gate. Maybe the Union people came in through that entrance.”
Mike continued to say indignantly.
