Chapter 64: The details (2/2)
”These are?!” The appraiser seemed to lose his cool when Ed withdrew the potions. He quickly regained his calm and continued his appraisal.
”There are 8 Earth Establishment level 1 monsters, 4 level 2, 2 level 3 and 1 level 5. As well as 10 high-grade potions. The items will be further appraised to choose a starting price, as for joining the auction, we give a special ID for those who also put their items to auction. This will reduce 5% of any items you buy. In case of multiple items, you will have an 8% reduction of the total.” The appraiser explained as he told the receptionist from before to prepare the special card.
”Please use our auction next time as well.” The receptionist smiled as Ed was heading to find a seat. His ID would only be needed when he was paying for his items, while his bidding stick was the same as the others.
Ed entered the hall and was stunned. It was much bigger than he had expected. It could easily handle 1000 people. 'I wonder how the host can see all of the people. Maybe there would be people helping him?' Ed thought while looking for a seat. It was still early so most seats were open. He chose one near the front where he could look directly at the items that would be displayed.
The auction begins with monster corpses. This was good for Ed since he would get a general idea for how much his income would be. This would allow him not to go overboard with buying and end up finding trouble with the auction.
The second phase of the auction would be weapons and metals. The third phase would be potions and healing items. The last phase would be special items that range from cultivation techniques to spatial rings that belonged to bodies that the auction found.
These rings would usually belong to Transcendent Establishment people who died somehow and their bodies were recovered. In some cases, even the body would be sold to those who are interested.
As Ed was thinking, more and more people started filling the seats. Ed was surrounded by fat noble-looking men, which he found uncomfortable. He activated his Map and noticed one red dot. He immediately checked it and found that it was Norris. Ed frowned and felt that at some point this auction would become noisy.
Soon enough, it was time to begin the auction and the host took the spotlight. Ed scanned the host and found that he was at Earth Establishment level 5. 'Quite strong.For someone who's only hosting'. Ed thought.
”Ladies and gentlemen welcome.” The host's voice could be heard clearly in the large hall without needing any voice enhancers. ”For our regular guests welcome back. For the new guests, we hope you'll be back another time. Now, let the auction begin!”.
