Chapter 803 - Auction

As the wise man once said: with patience, results would come.

Being patient was not in her nature, however, for him, she would do anything.

To make him believe her good intentions, then so be it, she needs to be patient.

When the boy finally opened up, she knew her efforts were bare fruit.

Before, she hoped to prolong their stay on Alfa Station as long as possible. The 48 hours waiting for the auction was shorter than expected. She actually was prepared to stay for a full 7 days for the weekly auction.

But now that her task was done, and the boy had agreed, she couldn't wait to return home.

However, once again, she needed to be patient.

In a few hours, the auction would start, and like the ones before it, all guests were allowed to see a preview of all the things that would be auctioned today.

There were many strange things shown, that even she had never heard of.

[Soul Butterfly]

[Rank A soul]

[A rare butterfly found in the valley of the souls]

[Special ability to remove abnormal status]

[Open bid : 90,000]

It was a high-rank soul that can be filled into an empty tier 5 artfiact or more.

[Haden Moon's Necklace]

[Artifact - Tier 5]

[A necklace that belonged to the prophet Haden Moon. It is said that his magic power reflects the moon itself]

[Increase magic force under the light of a moon]

[Open bid : 210,000]

This particular necklace gave similar power to his [moon dager]

On the corner Emery surprised to see, the auction doesn't just sell artifacts, but also a living being

[Succubus]

[Demonic Race]

[Special ability - charm]

[Open bid : 450,000]

It was a female figure, a creature with purple skin, two horns, and a pair of wings. It was able to give a certain attraction, and when their eyes met, Emery suddenly felt his heart racing. Until Silva finally distracts him.

"That's enough let's go to our seats"

There were a total of 108 items put on auction, but Emery didn't get the chance to see all of them. They were all amazing and his eyes couldn't help but sparkle as he read through some of them. However, Emery quickly stopped as he refused to delude himself. He knew that the current him has no chance to get any of these items, no matter how great they are.

His main objective was still to secure the Day Wolf gene, and if he managed to get any extra spirit stones, he would prefer to buy more herbs and ingredients to aid his research and apothecary development.

After all, only when his research was improved would he gain a way of gaining wealth. At that time, when he finally had some spirit stones he could spend freely, then perhaps he could start participating in future auctions.

For now, he only came for the experience and to satisfy his curiosity. Of course, there was also the matter of his item being sold. As someone who really needed some money, he naturally hoped that the selling price of his goods would be as high as possible.

When the auction started, an attendant directed Emery and Silva to a set of seats placed in a circular formation around the stage. As he took his seat, Emery glanced up and saw there were a few private rooms with its own balcony on the second floor. At first glance, it was obvious those rooms were reserved for those who purchased a VIP seat.

Silva was surprised for a moment that she wasn't offered a VIP room, but another quick look at the second floor confirmed her suspicion.

"Oh, this will be interesting." Noticing the confusion on Emery's face, she explained. "This could only mean that there are many big spenders coming today."

Emery watched the seats be filled bit by bit by people from different worlds, from those that looked human just like him, to humans with horns, scales, or even fur growing on their body.

As soon as most of the seats were occupied, the auction began.

A blue-skinned man walked onto the stage with flair, accompanied by two women with pink skin. They welcomed the patrons with a short speech and explanation about the upcoming auction.

The overall structure of the event was not too hard to understand even for Emery who was a first timer.

The first item was shown, and a tablet provided on his seat showed the details of the item. Underneath the picture, there is a short description of the item along with an option to bid. If he was interested, he just needed to place a higher offer and press the bid button.

The first item was a pair of gloves that started at [120.000]. Three bidders competed for it and, after back and forth tug-of-war, it was finally sold at [418.000].

The second item was the Succubus. A woman with a pair of horns and a spaded tail was quickly dragged to the main stage. Her ankles and wrists were bound by glowing chains.

This time, the bidding war was more intense and more people participated. After all, the succubus is considered an exotic and very rare breed - a symbol of extravagance. Hence, having one usually indicated how much status and wealth one had.

In the end, a bidder wearing a feathered cloak was able to get it at [812.000] price point.

A few more items were shown, and suddenly, as the next item was shown, the situation turned tense.

"This is one of the featured items. I'm sure some people came to this city knowing this item will be auctioned here." said Silva

The host opened up a red cover. There was a black box containing a small tube made of crystal. Inside the tube, a blue smoke slithered around as if it was alive.

Emery checked the information in his tablet, and the name item detail shown,

[Djinn Soul]

[Divine rank soul]

[A race-bred as a divine soul.]

[Special ability granted divine skill]

[Open bid : 500,000]

Silva nodded and explained to Emery that they were auctioning a divine soul, the best kind of soul to lock in an artifact.

The opening bid was so high, and everyone on the first floor could only watch as the item became the target for those sitting on the VIP floor. In the end, it was sold for as high as 8 million spirit stones.

It was certainly a tense situation. Emery couldn't help but feel that this whole thing was just the VIP people trying to one-up each other.

The next item was a tier 7 spear without a soul in it. Silva helped to explain that a tier 7 was considered a very rare item that is usually used by a grand magus. This weapon was sold for as many as 3 million spirit stones.

When she saw the final price, Silva narrowed her eyes. From her expression, it seems she thought that it was a good deal for the one who bought it.

After multiple high-value items in a row, the host started taking out a bunch of lesser items, just like a snack between full meals.

Emery knew that his Gaia Serum would come out soon, and so he waited anxiously. He became even tenser when he saw one of the items, which was a kind of potion coming out but without anyone actually interested in buying.

Finally, the pink skinned woman dragged out the next item. Emery couldn't help but lean to take a closer look as if he wanted to see if it was actually his turn.

"Next item will be a few boxes of spirit potion! This will be perfect for your young ones, and these boxes contain 50 potions in total. Starting price will be 30.000 spirit stones!"

The man waved his hand in a bombastic flair and shouted, "Can I hear 35.000?!"
