The auction house is largely divided into two types of auctions: ‘Command Auction’ and ‘Blind Auction’. The former is literally an auction for officially appraised items, while the latter is an auction for unappraised items.

It was the unappraised item auction where I had almost swept up all the items at the Daegu auction house before. In Yongsan, it existed as a completely separate auction.

While the auction houses are divided by auction method like this...

Sometimes they are also divided by the type of items being sold.

‘It seems like they’re only selling armors here.’

Among them, the <Supreme Command Auction: Premium Armor> was an auction venue that sold only armor-type equipment, as the name suggested.

Kang Juyeon seemed to have visited before, naturally presenting her access pass to the staff and entering inside.

“But I don’t have an access pass. Can I still go in?”

When I suddenly asked out of curiosity, she showed me her access pass.

It was a high-quality pass with a faint transparent color. Inside, there was even a small diamond icon.

“VVIPs can bring one guest.”

“......”

It must be convenient to have a wealthy and powerful girlfriend.

Thanks to kang Juyeon, I was able to enter the auction house with a free pass.

In fact, if I set my mind to it, I could probably create a VVIP access pass myself, but it would have been difficult to use it right away today. Passes that require complicated procedures take time to issue.

-To all Holders who have come to the Yongsan main branch of the Korean Holder Auction House, it’s nice to meet you. Before the auction begins, the ‘Supreme Command Auction: Premium Armor’ is an auction featuring primarily armor-type protective equipment. If anyone is looking for other items, please visit a different auction.

After sitting in the secluded premium seats behind a glass window, the auctioneer soon appeared on the floor and grabbed the microphone.

-This auction will proceed by open competitive bidding. Holders, you can participate in the auction using the buzzers and microphones at your seats. You must bid a higher price than the current bid if you wish to purchase an item. If there is no change in the final price after I call it three times, the item will be awarded at that final price.

The auction method was the same as in Daegu. It was only natural since it was run by the same organization, just the difference between the main branch and a regional branch.

“Jae-hyun.”

“Yes?”

“How much are you planning to spend?”

Kang Juyeon suddenly asked me, making me pause to think for a moment.

In fact, I had saved up a lot of money over time.

I owned shares in as many as 5 dungeons, along with various gains from dungeons I had conquered, by-products and magic stones from hunting monsters, monetary rewards from the academy, etc...

There were quite a lot of means for me to become financially affluent.

The capital just accumulated on its own without me having to worry much about it.

‘Of course, I had separate reasons for saving up funds...’

It’s not that I lacked financial sense and didn’t spend money.

I had my own accepted proposals and plans in mind, and I was simply saving up money to prepare for those plans.

Realizing those plans required a lot of capital.

‘I guess I can spend some money today.’

But since I had decided to enhance my equipment while doing the class assignment, I could afford to spend a reasonable amount of money without issue.

There was no need to be frugal.

“No limit.”

“No...limit?”

“Yes. I’ll buy what I think is necessary. But since I haven’t attended an auction in a long time, I don’t really know the market prices, so Juyeon, you’ll need to guide me.”

At the Daegu auction house, I had information from the original work and had prepared a lot... But for the Yongsan auction house, I was practically a newbie.

I needed the help of Juyeon, who had a lot of experience in this area.

She seemed slightly surprised by my words at first, but then smiled and gently held my hand as she turned her gaze to the auction that was just starting.

-Then here is the first auction item. The minimum bid price is 100 million won. Bidding will start at 100 million won.

With the auctioneer’s words, item information appeared on the digital screen.

The name was [Blake’s Torn Fury].

It was an epic-grade item in the form of a leather armor.

As soon as I saw the item information and name on the screen, I was startled.

“Huh? This is...”

“Yes. A reward from the Wolfenser conquest, an armor made from the hide of a Lycan.”

Juyeon quietly added an explanation beside me.

Just as I had received [Lupus’ Ring] and the ‘Contractor Jiten’ as rewards, the other conquest team members had received their own different rewards.

With the bombastic announcer’s explanation, a new item appeared.

[Trillion’s Brilliant Oath].

One of the final rewards from the <Deep Blue Prairie> that A-grade Holder Lim-hyun had formed a temporary raid team to clear.

At the time, the emergence of a legendary item caused a big commotion, and it seems to have finally made its way to the auction house.

This was also an undisclosed item that wasn’t revealed before the auction.

“Ah...!”

And when I finished reading the item information,

I realized one important fact.

‘Divinity-type equipment....’

The divine-type equipment that even blacksmith Holders cannot create, existing only as system items.

There aren’t many demanders, and sometimes the conditions are difficult...

It may not be a popular item compared to other items.

But for me right now, it was a necessary item.

‘...Hwang Seong-yeon.’

My enemy that I had already missed two chances against.

The target I absolutely must defeat.

The bane of that target was precisely divine-type equipment.

Moreover....

‘No one will try to buy it.’

I glanced around the inside of the auction house.

The once heated atmosphere...

Was strangely cooling down.

The divine-type equipment already lacks demand, and on top of that, it had the crazy condition of ‘only those with runes that increase Divine Resonance or can manifest Divine Power’.

No matter how legendary the item was, not many participants would try to buy such a demanding item at a high price.

‘I see...!’

I tried to conceal my excited heart and placed my hand on the buzzer.

Then I spoke into the microphone.

– 100 million.

It was the bid price that started off so pleasantly.
