Chapter 50 - 50 : Os Sweet Revenge 1 (2/2)
”Password?”
”Ohh those thighs”
Arthur immediately responded, it's a bizarre password but that didn't matter, he was a bit worried about the magical bag, he didn't know what he was supposed to put in it but he assumed it's money so he took out a magical bag containing 1.000 gold coins and handed it to the muscular man before he could even stretch his hand.
He can forcefully enter and wreak havoc here, but there is a slim chance that they would flee with the Elixir or maybe it's not even here yet, being careful would be better than acting recklessly.
The muscular man held the magical bag and injected some mana to inspect it.
Normally, those magical bags would contain minor money for the participation in the auction, it would range from 10 to 500 gold, so when he saw those 1000 gold coins, he was a bit startled, however, he soon regained his professional look and invited the black-clothed man in.
...
Arthur was brought to a relatively large room, there were no decorations, just a small stage, and some wooden chairs, there were already several masked people sitting on the chairs, while there were what appeared to be guards standing at the entrance of the room and at the edges of the room, they were monitoring the places, wary of ambushes as it happens a lot in those sort of occasions.
He was given a number by the muscular man then he took a seat next to a random person, he noticed that every person holds a number just like him.
By the way, his number was '31', he just sat there and waited for the auction to begin.
Arthur specifically took that seat because of it exactly behind Veronica, he already knew her clothes and mask so he discovered her the moment he entered the room and he purposely sat there.
She was happily chatting with some people as if they were friends, perhaps they were but that may not be the case if they are competing for the same item.
Half an hour passed since Arthur came and the room became crowdy, not all seats were taken but most of them were.
There was some chatter here and there, but nothing too big or noisy.
Finally, someone came on stage, it was a woman...in a bunny suit, no don't get me wrong, it's not that bunny costume for kids, but the one that is sexy, and alluring, the figure of the woman's round butt swaying left and right as she moved attracted a lot of attention from the men.
She was a beauty in the true sense of the word, long dark hair accompanied with deep dark eyes which made her look even more enchanting.
Everyone held their breath as they saw this woman get on stage.
”Good evening everyone! I'm Bunnie and I hope you are ready for tonight's auction, it will hold a lot of precious items! I'm sure you won't be disappointed”
Just as she finished, some people from the front rows began whistling and shouting her name as if they were her fans.
”You are as beautiful as ever Bunnie!”
It was actually a youth who didn't have a mask on, he stared lecherously at Bunnie and he couldn't take off his eyes of her.
”Mister Klaud, thank you for your words, well then let's begin..”
Bunnie didn't fully answer him as he would always come here and pester her so she got used to it, he had a somewhat powerful background so she didn't want to offend him, she could only thank him for his praises.
Two other beauties walked on the stage, carrying a covered item, it was the same process as a usual auction except for the items in here are very precious and rare, of course, the cost would be sky high but all the present people have special backgrounds or are filthy rich with nothing better to do than collect precious items or wasting their money.
Bunnie uncovered the item and said
”The first item is...a dungeon core.”
What was under the cloth was a jet black orb, it was quite big but apart from that, nothing was special about it.
All the guests were surprised, the only known item is the Rebirth Elixir, apart from that, all the auctioned items are unknown so when they saw the first item, most of them were a bit surprised.
”As you may know, a dungeon core is a very rare drop, and on top of that, this is a dungeon core for a medium dungeon!”
Bunnie breathed some fresh air then resumed with an excited voice
”A dungeon core would increase a random stat for the user, a basic core would give 1 to 100 as for medium it's from 100 to 1000 and the high dungeon core it's from 1000 to 10000, however, the latter is nearly extinct”
The participants were astonished but they didn't raise their hands to bind haphazardly, one must be wise, first, they waited for the beginning price, because if they bid a high price from the beginning then they may be losing a bit.
Bunnie so the dumbfounded looks of the participants, a smile was formed on her mesmerizing face.
”Hehe~~ the beginning price is 100.000 gold coins”
For an item like this, it was a reasonable price as 100 stats are considered goods for normal people.
Arthur appraised some of them but they were all low leveled with only Veronica being the highest, compared to commoners they sure had decent LVLS but for him? It's nothing, even if someone with a LVL of 500 showed up, Arthur would still feel calm as he can defeat Yamak who had a LVL over 600.
Soon enough, the bidding began and people began raising their hands non-stop.
”110.000!”
”125.000!”
”128.000”
Only after a minute or two did the bidding almost stopped, the price reached a whopping 243.000 gold coins which is a really high sum of money, but for people like them, it's nothing.
Arthur wasn't that interested in anything except the Elixir, however, the orb piqued his interest so why not try it? If he's lucky then he will get a bonus of 1000 stats, maybe it was very little but it still strengthened him.
The youth, who was previously praising Bunnie, raised his number and calmly said
”Friends...why don't you give me some face and let me have this?”
There were already few people who were still bidding for the orb, however, when they saw this youth talk and ask them to let him, they could only clench their teeth and accept his request, he had no weak background, just the fact that he doesn't hide his face is proof that he fears no one, most of them cursed him but none dared to oppose him, there were also some who didn't care and were just not interested in the orb.
One must not judge by appearance or LVL, there were hidden tigers and crawling dragons in here, they won't show themselves until the item they were waiting for comes out.
As for Arthur, he couldn't give a rat's ass about the youth or others, it's a competition of bidding, so what if he wanted the Orb? Everyone wanted, they just didn't have the guts to compete for it once he talked.
The number '31' was soon raised and was followed by a voice
”260.000”
The youth who was delighted and was going to bid the last price, was surprised, he turned his head to look at the man who just bid and glared at him with piercing eyes, however, that didn't seem to affect the man as he was leisurely sitting on his chair, not even glancing at the youth.
”Hmpf! 270.000!”
Klaud snorted and bid then he stared at Arthur yet again, but he saw was the masked man raising his number and bidding again without a care in the world.
”280.000”
Klaud was truly enraged, but he restrained himself, smiled at Arthur and said
”Friend, I really need this orb...how about this, let me take this orb and I, Klaud, will owe you a favor”
To have someones like him with a powerful background owe you a favor is surely a good thing, but such a thing is useless for Arthur, he raised his number yet again and said
”300.000!”
The youth's eyes flashed for a second before he turned around and just acted as if nothing happened, he didn't come here for the orb but it's interested him, however, this man didn't give him any face and bid anyway, furthermore, he can't spend more than 300.000 gold coins for an item like this.
After some time passed without anyone bidding, Bunnie softly said
”300.000 going once... twice... thrice.. congratulations to the number '31' who won this item”
The items bought will be given at the end of the auction, unlike a normal auction, so just like that, the second item came and the third, etcetera...
All the items were sold at a high price, but most of the people came for that Elixir, except a few ones, so they eagerly waited for it.
After 40 minutes of bidding, the time has finally come and an Elixir was shown to the participants, it contained black liquid and was quite small, it looked ordinary apart from that liquid.
When Arthur saw it and hear Bunnie say that it's the 'Rebirth Elixir', he was truly flabbergasted
'What the fuck.....HEY! Loli, answer me!! Isn't that....'
