Chapter 297: Auction day (1/2)

Alex logged back into the game at around 9 pm. He stood up from his bed and saw that Wan Li was already gone from his room.

'Where could he have gone?' Alex wondered but didn't really give much thought to his disappearance.

He walked out and saw a few people from his sect walking up and down the stairs. He saw a few elders leave as well.

Suddenly, his master walked out of her room as well and saw him standing.

”Oh there you are, I was about to go look for you,” Ma Rong said.

”What's going on master?” he asked.

”Oh, there are auctions taking place in the capital today, really big ones. One of the auction houses saved a VIP seat for us. Do you want to come?” she asked.

”Is it the Pink Cloud auction house?” he asked.

”No. It's a different one. Why? You wanted to go to that one?” Ma Rong asked.

”I have a VIP room in that auction house for today. I will be going soon too,” Alex said.

”Hmm… Who will you be going with?” Ma Rong asked.

”I'm going there alone, I guess,” Alex said.

”Hm, be careful out there. Don't try to get into a bidding contest with others. If they really want it, just let them have it. You are very weak in the grand scheme of things, so it's better if you don't make enemies, okay?” Ma Rong said with concern in her voice.

Alex nodded and said, ”I understand master.”

”Alright, you need some spirit stones? What are you looking for today?” she asked.

”I don't need spirit stones. I sold a few pills some days before and have enough for today. As for what I want to buy, I'm thinking of getting armor for myself. As you said, I am weak and need better protection,” Alex said.

”As for the other things, I will see what I like,” Alex said.

”Alright, take care. I'm already late so I will leave now,” Ma Rong said and left down the stairs.

Alex looked around and the other ones had left as well. 'Damn, everyone is gone somewhere huh. Well, it is a free day after all.'

'I should leave as well,' he thought. However, before that, he decided to change his robes to something more normal like the Blueish-gray robes his master had given him when he went to the Tiger sect.

So he changed into those before walking out of the room and going into the southern side of the capital city.
