Chapter 237: Wil's plans for Hyori

With the auction coming up ahead, Wil thought of a high-interest loan scheme provided with contracts while increasing the limit to 100 gold coins per person and 1000 per guild during this short period.

As for the funds, Wil didn't worry about it as the data in his Character tab says the combined net worth of the three Scarlet Districts is around 80 thousand gold coins.

Because Scarlet bank never has the facility of fixed deposit, he wouldn't need to worry about the bank getting out of funds either.

Another scheme appeared in his mind.

Wil went to the market alone leaving Akiko behind in the guest room.

Everyone is in fear as usual. It was the effect of his Purple name.

Wil bought large storage bags from a vendor for 50 gold coins each even though the latter said he would give it for free.

As he returned to the fort, Wil found her just sitting there beside the window and staring at the city. She had a smile on her face.

Wil wondered the scenery would have been more beautiful if there's a thing like rain or thunder outside.

Coming out of the delusions, Wil called her.

"You are back early." Her smile became wider before she blushed.

Wil felt there's something with those words but he wasn't able to put his finger.

In the end, he responded by taking out storage bags. "I went to buy these."

"Three of them?"

Wil then started taking out epic and Gold-grade equipment from the inventory. None of them are below gold grade.

A few minutes later, a big heap formed while Akiko had a look of surprise.

She didn't expect Wil to possess so many pieces of equipment.

It was like he was a walking guild-storage.

He then sorted the four hundred and twenty-two of them into two bags and then, looked at Akiko. "Can you do me a favor?"

"Hmm? What is it?" asked Akiko as she glanced at the equipment.

"I want your people to transfer them to Aster. I can't enter Deloris town at this moment."

He pointed at his name.

She nodded, "Sure. No worries about it. While I can't the same about the informers but our Elites are trustable."

"Thanks."

After his preparations are finished, Wil logged out.

He brushed his teeth, had a shower, quick breakfast, and finally sat before the laptop.

*Greetings from Summersoft*

Here are the details of the Upcoming world auction that starts on 17th Aug. 16:30 EST or 08:00 WST.

"Hmm… the items are just the same as last time. Nothing changed except that they revealed the items this time. I guess the future is indeed shifting a lot…"

He then glanced at the top 1 item, "legendary+ dinosaur egg with a passive ability of 100 levels higher, huh… If the base monster has a legendary+ grade that means, it will atleast have Mythic+ grade potential.

That puts it in the same line as guardian beasts. No wonder Conqueror guild dominated the North and Southern Zalfari continents in the past. I shouldn't let it fall under Supreme Conqueror once again.

They already have a griffin."

He then glanced at the remaining other items. The number 9 also attracted his interest but the bow wouldn't be of any use to him. A person came to his mind.

He quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed the number.

"Hello?" A sleepy tone was heard from the other side.

"Trainer Hyo…" Wil addressed his best friend with a nickname he gave her.

"Wil?" Her tone still sounds sleepy.

"It's almost 7. Didn't you have college?" asked Wil.

"No morning classes… I'm going to sleep. Good night… *Yawn*"

"Wait…" Wil stopped her cutting off the call and then said, "The world auction going to start in the evening."

"World Auction?" Hyori mumbled in her half-sleep state. "You mean like the system auction?"

"Yeah. It will go on for 24 hours. It's a bit long actually. Anyway, once it starts, you can register your items to sell them. It's a great opportunity for you to earn big."

"What!" Wil heard the tone of her pitch suddenly rose. Clearly, she was surprised and probably fully awake now. "When did you say it will start?"

"4:30 P.M. but you have to register between 12:30 and 4:30. Also, there's really a bow that you would love. Check out the forums…"

After a while, she spoke in a disheartened tone, "The stats are really best I have seen yet but I don't think I can afford it. What about yourself? Don't you want to acquire it?"

"Nah, I had a better one." Wil dismissed it with a simple reply. If it was anyone else, they would be freak out.

After all, the bow in the list is a legendary+ one. What can be better than it?

But, somehow she wasn't surprised a bit with his reply, although the following words shocked her.

"I will get it for you if you promise that you won't pause playing once your tournament is over."

"Eh?" She seriously wondered whether this friend has hidden feelings for her like in the dramas where the second male lead CEOs having a crush on the female leads.

Maybe, it's their effect on her after watching so much of them. "Are you serious? Even I know that it will probably cost at least ten thousand gold coins or maybe, even more considering it's an auction."

But her delusions were broken once Wil's words backed his statement, "the game entered an important phase.

I plan to form a separate team with skillful people that will have nothing to do with either the guild or the company.

With your Archery skills, combined with this weapon, you can be a great help to the team. Are you interested?"

Hyori stayed silent. She didn't know what to reply. After all, she only started playing the game for money but Wil's words mean it is a serious business.

She can't impulsively say yes to such a decision. She also started thinking about the Pros.

After a while, she finally said, "I'll think about it."

"Okay, tell me your decision after your tournament."

*Welcome to War Online*

He appeared in his room.

Wil then opens the friends' tab and clicked on Athena.

Time Traveler: Akiko-san, I'm back. Where are you right now?"

Athena: In the gardens. Kiyumi-nee is here with me.

"Gardens? But the fort doesn't have a garden." Wil was confused.

Time Traveler: Uhh… where exactly?"

Athena: Here at the terrace.

"Terrace? There's a garden at the terrace without me knowing?"

He climbs the stairs and reached the fort terrace. Along with the cannons and the soldiers all around, there are several raised beds filled with different types of flowers placed in a corner.

He saw a sofa, a couple of chairs, and a table with a table umbrella.

Akiko and Kiyumi were sitting opposite to each other, drinking a cup of coffee while a couple of maids serving them. It's as if they turned it into a picnic spot.

Only then did he remember, during their conversations, Akiko mentioned one of her fantasies of filling flowers at the terrace and Wil replied that she can consider this as her home too. She can do whatever she wanted to.

But, Wil forgot about it quickly.

"Does this girl not know really anything about modesty?" Even if he agreed, how can she do this just after a few hours… In the end, he didn't say anything as it would seem petty of him.

Meanwhile, Kiyumi was satisfied with the progress.
