Chapter 298: First Few Item Sales (1/2)
” Welcome to the Pink Cloud Auction House. I am your auctioneer and host for the day, Yu Min,” the lady in pink spoke on top of the stage.
”I hope all of you are doing good on this fine day. We have a massive catalog of items we have on sale today. For those who already know what is coming up, you must be excited.”
”For those who haven't, please bear with me, everything will be revealed in due time,” the lady named Yu Min said with a smile.
She turned to the side and nodded. A group of staff members walked onto the stage with item covers in pink cloth. The audience tried to figure out what it was, but it was in the shape of a box and was thus impossible to tell.
Yu Min walked up to the item and pulled away the pink cloth to reveal the box. No one could really see what it was, so they waited for the lady to start speaking.
The lady slowly reached into the box and brought out a small bottle.
”Pill?” Alex thought, but it couldn't be. The bottle was just too big for it. The crowd started murmuring and the lady decided to speak.
”The first item being auctioned today is this Spirit Wine, made by one of the greatest winemakers of the Cardinal City if not the entire Crimson Empire.”
”This spirit wine is said to be able to heal minor injuries and even give you some advancement in cultivation as well.”
”It can also get a True realm expert drunk in just 3 sips. If you've ever disliked the fact that you couldn't get drunk anymore, here is your chance.”
”The bid will start at 80 spirit stones and the minimum bid can only be 1 spirit stone. Please start,” Yu Min said.
”81 spirit stone.”
”83 spirit stone.”
”84 spirit stone.”
People started bidding in droves. It was only the people at the lower hall that bid, and none of the people.
Alex was in his room a little surprised at how much the people were bidding for the wine.
”Is it because it can help them in cultivation and healing… or because it can get them drunk?” he asked himself and looked down at the crowd.
”Yeah totally because it can get them drunk,” he thought and laughed to himself.
The bid went for a little longer until the man at one of the VIP rooms bid 3 True spirit stones and no one outbid it. It seemed the wine was nice, but not worth that much to most people.
”The spirit wine goes to the guest at room N5 for 300 spirit stones,” the lady said and hit a wooden board with a gavel she had taken out at some point.
