Chapter 64 (1/2)
The auction has been going on for more than one hour now…
Within this period a lot of items have been sold off, at least they’re not keeping track. What they do know is that the cheap stuff went for a few thousand gold at least and the expensive ones went for a few tens of thousands.
What is odd is that the mood hasn’t reduced along with the number of items rather it seems to be inversely proportional, the atmosphere is even higher than before.
The good stuff are left towards the end so it is reasonable to expect this kind of result. Right now the projection is showing some kind of demonic beast’s part, its price is now at 30’000 gold and it’s still going higher and higher!
It’s just your average item and it has garnered this kind of price what’s to say of the 3 super secret item that they are about to reveal this time?
Wu Yan didn’t know and he certainly wanted this trend to continue. Why? Because that would mean his Kusanagi Sword would go even higher.
The whole time he has done nothing like bidding for item but he’s grinning like he’s enjoying some capital gain.
The bidding pad which had a ridiculously amusing id number (Tl: 007, shaken not stirred.) is currently residing within Lirin’s hand. She kept looking at the projection and muttering something to the pad. She seemed to be having a blast of her time.
What could she be doing other than bidding.
What? A little loli bidding for items?
Of course he’s not mad enough to let her do something like that, she’s just playing is all…
That’s right, this is a game to her.
He’s not stopping her from playing, in fact he had a very dirty smirk, Hinagiku and Mikoto didn’t look like they were gonna stop her either but their smile when seeing him and Lirin were a bit forced that’s for sure.
They weren’t stopping the little girl because she’s very shrewd, one wouldn’t expect a kid to be this good.
At first the two girls were a bit averse to the idea of her playing with the crystal pad, who knows if she might overbid on some trashy item?
They wouldn’t have a place to complain even if they wanted to cry.
But soon they changed their minds.
The girl really is just playing around…
She raised the bid slowly and surely until when she sees that there’s only a few id number that keeps appearing, this is her sign to stop playing.
This signals that the item is about to be auctioned away.
This cunning little la.s.s, she made some ordinary item sell above premium, the two girls don’t know what to say at this, should they weep for the poor f.u.c.ks or laugh at them?
Oh if only those bidding for it know, if only they know that the reason they had to spend a bit more is because Little ol Lirin here is fooling around, those people would surely kick down his vip room’s door…
“35’000 going once! Going twice! Going Thrice! Sold to the client id 199. A claw of verdant wing eagle!”
The gavel resounded announcing the successful auction of said item and its projection disappeared.
The old auctioneer didn’t look like he’s tired from selling some few hundred items, his mouth didn’t stop for 1 hour plus and still there is no sign of thirst, with dragon’s vitality and tiger energy he continued.
The projection from the crystal ball now showed a pure white crystal.
“Next item, a pure white crystal!”
He pointed at the projection with his wrinkly hands while donning a cryptic smile.
Seeing that the audience is baffled he knocked the gavel before continuing.
“Perhaps a lot of people don’t know what this is, candidly speaking we too do not know what this is…”
