Chapter 71: All Sold (2/2)

In this farm coated with the sun's torment, Michu's head was always cool!

”Goodbye!” Michu waved and pulled his cap lower, disappearing on the horizon!

Daria faintly smiled and wished him the best.

-

”All Sold?” Michu trembled after he checked the black magic screen.

By the time he woke up out of this stupor, someone's shadow invaded his private area. He turned heels and found a man in the white suit, looking at him with a warm smile. This was a middle-aged man and the owner of this auction house.

He apologized first, ”I am sorry for invading this private room,” In his eyes, no threatening emotion was concealed. His in-game nickname was Wealthy Merchant IX, but he introduced himself with the real name.

Michu blinked a few times, remembering Venomous' voice. Wasn't it a moment to make a valuable connection? He kept this thought close to his heart, then nodded, ”I am Michu! Nice to meet you.”

These words were too innocent and an unusual glimmer flashed past Wealthy Merchant IX's eyes.

If Michu had experience, then he would understand that this man instantly saw through him. Not only Michu didn't take a lead in this conversation after the introduction, but he also stared blankly at the wealthy merchant and just waited for him to continue.

But why would Wealthy Merchant appear here? Of course, that was because Michu had struck a golden chance and made millions! It was millions in-game currency, but it was still a lot of money!

Thus, if Michu was clever, he should've instantly created an advantage for himself. It could have been a slightly suspicious expression or just a question about this sudden appearance that invaded privacy!

There were so many ways!

Of course, Michu's innocent side could be one of those ways too.

Should it be the case, then Michu was one of the greatest manipulators! It wouldn't be a mistake to call him a pro!

But the risk was close friends in this business! Wealthy Merchant continued, ”The mystery boxes were popular in the past. I believe there was a trend for those a few years ago. It's such a nice game, but also addictive. For us, it can be one of the promising businesses.”

This man knew something that Michu didn't.

In the auction, the players could use many identities! It was fair as sellers also could just hide their nicknames to save trouble. Of course, Wealthy Merchant was associated with many players and he knew the real names behind those nicknames.

Why would he think of those nicknames right now? It was because there were two unique buyers to Michu's mystery boxes!

One probably did it out of the fun! He bought a box for fun as if one million gold coins were nothing for him!

That was the case, however.

Then, he shared the news with his friend and this friend was also one of the established figures. A pity was that there were only two boxes left! The rest went to less known players and even some randoms!

”We, players, have much more diverse gambling games than NPCs. It didn't take long for players to excel in this area. The most popular casinos are operated by players and often visited by established players and NPCs.” Wealthy Merchant wanted to join that area too!

One would be surprised how many gamblers were here! A lot of people also sometimes just visited casinos for some fun.

You could meet a lot of people here from various guilds and circles!

This man wanted to have his casino! Michu understood this much.

But his next words shattered the feasible future between him and Michu.

”The top casino is operated by a player called Pinkish Fair Treat. She is not even one of the top 1000 players, but her family has so much money she can establish a few more businesses if she wants. Do you know about the Yumikazu Family?”

”Eh...” Michu mumbled out.

Didn't this man just speak about his savior's family? He also probably meant the lady Michu had seen together with his savior! Thus, Michu instantly thought about a way to excuse himself from this situation.

First of all, he said what Venomous had told him before, ”You guys got fees from my mystery boxes!” Did he say it right? The man's face distorted funnily as if Michu's sudden words didn't make any sense.

The monke carried on, ”Entering the private room is also no good! That's the gangster way of doing things, even if this is your auction house! Bye-bye!” He waved his hand and went past the auction owner!

Later on, Michu passed the news to Venomous. He told her that this connection was no good! He also planned to make more mystery boxes and contact his savior's sister just so that he could repay them just a little!

He would begin repaying their gratitude by helping with her casino!

Of course, it was not easy to contact her and Michu also had a lot of things to do! Nonetheless, he was feeling good now that he found a way to repay. It would be just a little, but his golden bananas should be one of the good gambling features!

It would be hard to repay everything at once! So this would be the first step!

Michu didn't think much of it, but wasn't their meeting in-game bound to change many things?

”So many zeros... How much money is it in real life? Hmm...” Michu's eyes soon stretched dangerously! ”I can... help mom with this.” Michu's smile bloomed!
