Chapter 804 - Auction 2



Chapter 804 - Auction 2

A box of 50 tier 2 Spirit potion [Gaia Serum] was placed on the table and was set to be auctioned off right away.

When it started with 30,000, the screen showed that there were at least two dozen guests who appeared to be interested. It was predictable that a number of people would bid on this valuable spirit potion box as it was believed to be a highly demanded item, just like what Silva had stated previously.

Everyone placed their best bids, and the total amount of bids kept rising. However, by the time it reached the threshold of 50,000, the number of people who wanted to bid on it had significantly decreased. Up until there were only two people who were interested in bidding on it.

It finally fell to the first person for 60,000 spirit stones. The second and third boxes of serum were bought by the same person for the same price, and finally, the last two boxes were bought by the second person for 65,000 each.

As a result of this, Emery ended up with 310,000 spirit stones. However, while the price wasn't exactly what he was hoping for, it was still 50 percent higher than the amount he would have received if he had sold it in the black market.

On the other hand, the potion wasn't really a rare item. Rather, it was in high demand, and as a result, people were not willing to pay too much a difference for it.

The bid continued for another hour before finally, his other item which was the [Twilight Fey Booster] was on the stand.

"Today we have a very unique item," said the blue skin host explaining about the intricate ranked 8 mutated bloodline.

As the next bid was about to be placed, Emery took a look at some data analysis of the booster in the tablet.

The host started the bid with a very low price, "We shall start with 20,000."

Given the fact that it was a ranked 8 item, Emery had a quite huge expectation for this one. He hoped to get at least 500,000 spirit stones or more from it in order to be able to buy a few of the Day Wolf genes from it.

However, the reality did not turn out to be what he had expected. There were only a total of three people competing for this ranked 8 mutated bloodline.

"25,000"

"36,000"

"42,500"

The winning amount of 50,000 spirit stones went to an old man who was not even a VIP guest at the event.

It was a very disappointing result. In fact, if he had known it would only fall for that amount, he would have preferred not to sell it at all. He considered the object to be so precious that he would not even consider selling it for twice that number.

Silva, on the other hand, swiftly informed him that he was in fact allowed to cancel a transaction. He just needed to make sure that he would do it as soon as possible.

With this information, the two hurriedly leave the auction area, made their way to the back room and asked to cancel the sale of the serum. They were hoping that they would still be able to do it before the old man secured the item.

However, when he reached the back room, he realized that the old man had already been there and was trying to settle the transaction even before the auction ended.

The two were a little taken aback, yet they quickly intercepted the transaction. With this, Emery expressed his regret to the old man for deciding not to sell the serum.

Along with his simple robes and wrinkly skins, the old man who was approached by Emery to cancel the transaction appeared to be a little befuddled. In spite of this, he stated, with a full smile on his face,

"Aahh.. I actually really need it. Please young man, how much do you want for it?" The elderly man inquired.

Emery was a little reluctant to increase the price by multiple times of the current amount to such a simple old man after seeing how the old man attempted to pitch him another price.

Silva, on the other hand, approached the elderly gentleman and straightly asked him, without hesitation,

"How much do you have on you?!"

The girl looked at the old man with a stare as if she would not mind robbing him blind which made the old man naturally check what he had in hand.

The old man didn't even have a storage ring; instead, he simply took out a leather purse where he took out the five red spirit stones plus one yellow stone out of it. That brought them to a total of 50,100.

"..."

Seeing this Silva who has been holding out her emotion quickly explodes.

"Go away, old man!!"

Emery could only grab Silva to calm down and immediately apologize once more.

Now that the decision had been made final, the attendant was ready to give Emery back his [Twilight Fey Gene] as well as his money.

He got [310,000] from the Gaia Serum, but he needed to pay the auction place a 10 percent commission. He should have a total of [279,000] spirit stones in hand.

However, Emery was also required to pay commission for the supposed to be sold gene booster as the penalty for canceling. That was a total of 5000. In the end, it gave him a return of [274,000] spirit stones.

It was at this moment that he realized that the old man was still standing in the same spot as before. It appeared that he still wanted to try to get the serum. Expectantly, he walked up to Emery and said,

"Young man, I really need that serum for my research. I don't have many spirit stones, but maybe we can barter with something else."

Seeing the old man's appearance and condition, Silva was doubtful. Emery, on the other hand, politely asked, "What do you have to barter with, Sir?"

The man remarked, "Young man, I don't look much, but I actually am a grandmaster apothecary. If you are interested in herbs and stuff, I have plenty at my place"

Emery's face instantly lit up when he heard the words apothecary and herbs. He looked at Silva and gave her a smile. Apparently, the offer made by the old man just now had successfully attracted their attention.

"Alright", Silva approached the man and said, "You may lead the way, old man."
