Chapter 478 (1/2)

“The next item is a map to Marla’s hidden treasure…” The auctioneer declared.

Ye Cang’s brows rose. A secret treasure! There would probably be many people fighting over it. Just as he thought that, everyone present hissed.

“Hey! Are you planning to run a proper auction? First it’s Reling’s introductory manual that you could get off a street vendor and now Marla’s treasure map? I already have three of those. If you want, I’ll gift one to you!”

“Yeah, yeah. You might as well close at this rate. Wait for something good before auctioning. Don’t waste this old man’s time.”

“Apologies. The goods this time are stuck en-route. Now that everyone’s had their laugh, the next item is from the auction house’s secret stash. Everyone will surely be pleased with it. As for this map, we’ll give it out for free. Does anyone want it?”

When Ye Cang learned that Reling’s introductory manual was basically a street vendor item to the natives, a secret item that could be obtained for 50 cents from a beggar, he stood up indignantly. “You actually dare to cheat me! Just because I don’t know this item, you make me buy it at such a high price!? I’d like to file a complaint! This is too much! You dare cheat your customers!”

“What Earl PaleSnow says makes sense. You can get a pile of them for 1 gold, yet you dare to take over 10 gold for it. It really is a bit excessive.”

The auctioneer quickly smoothed things over. He not only treated Ye Cang respectfully but also gifted him the treasure map.

Ye Cang’s brows rose higher as he pointed to the map, “You think I’m an idiot!? Giving me this!?”

“Hey, show some good faith. You actually give Marla’s treasure map as an apology, are you making fun of us? Or are you new here and still don’t know…”

The auctioneer this time really was new so was not really sure what to do. The old auctioneer quickly came out to apologize and pushed a little wooden box to Ye Cang. Ye Cang saw a rank 4 light elemental crystal inside. He currently didn’t have any of this sort of crystal so sat down rather pleased.

Following that was the auction of some collectors items from the auction house’s stash. The sales prices were very high, leaving everyone satisfied except for Ye Cang who found it rather dull. Next was the final item. He yawned and saw that in the old auctioneer’s hand was a black case.

“The chest of misfortune. This is something rarely seen, but no one wants to open it. It’s value as a collectors item is pretty good.”

Ye Cang saw that it was a chest and began to bid. Finally, he received the chest of misfortune for 300 gold. He looked at the black chest in his hands.

Chest of Misfortune

There is a high chance for bad luck to befall you upon opening, greatly reducing your luck. There is a nearly impossible chance to obtain the treasure of misfortune.

PS: The luckier one is, the more they will suffer upon opening.
