While Shane was pondering about his Clan Name, the Grand Auction Hall buzzed with excitement as the next item was announced.
They saw that the staff brought quite a huge item to the stage, so they all had various guesses about the item.
The crowd leaned in, their eyes wide with anticipation. The auctioneer, a master of ceremonies, knew how to work the room, her voice rose above the murmurs.
"Survivors, brace yourselves for the next wave of power at your fingertips!" She called out, her hands gesturing towards the first item on display...
Then, with a wave of her hands, the staff unveiled the item for everyone to see! It turns out that there were actually three of the same item in the stage!
"Introducing the Ripper's Edge – Chainsaw, a tool not just for cutting through the forest, but for carving a path to survival!"
The audience smiled after seeing this.
"It's finally here..."
"Right... It's the one displayed outside."
"They should've sold these things earlier. Now I barely have points I could use."
"Don't worry. Those top Survivors already used their points. It's our time to shine."
"Did you not notice that some of those guys with Tier 3 Set had already left... They should've lost their Points by now."
"That's true! I noticed that the one wearing the Samurai Set and the expensive Legionnaire Set had already left."
"Oh! So you saw them too! Then we might have our chance at the last part of the event!"
"Hmph! Tell that to Bidder 1101... I'm sure he's still here."
The crowd couldn't help but comment, as many of them hadn't won any item yet.
Soon, the information of the Chainsaw appeared in their BidLink Communicator.

As soon as the bidding start, the crowd quickly placed their bids, the numbers climbing as the Chainsaw was even activated by the staff on the stage, its engine growling like a beast in chains!

The Survivors' excitement reached a fever pitch as the acid gun was displayed, its reservoirs glinting with the promise of chemical annihilation!

The bids climbed relentlessly until Bidder 1101 bids again.
This time, however, something unexpected happened.
[ Bidder 1166 bids 2,000 Points. ]
"Please, Bidder 1101! I really need this weapon! I need the acid gun and its acid canisters." This voice came from a woman, and it was none other than Lyra!

Of course, Shane doesn't know about this yet, but with her pleading voice, she felt that it was a matter of life and death for her. She must be really desperate unlike him.
Because of that, he decided not to bet.
However, even if he did not, it doesn't mean that the others would care!
They still continued bidding against her.
[ Bidder 1245 bids 2,300 Points. ]
[ Bidder 1178 bids 2,350 Points. ]
Of course, Lyra or bidder 1166 wouldn't stop either!
[ Bidder 1166 bids 3,000 Points. ]
With this final bid, the gavel fell, and Lyra won the bid!
'Thank you, Bidder 1101 for giving up!' Lyra thought as she knew that even with all her gathered points, there was no way for her to beat the bidder!
She was lucky that Bidder 1,101 wasn't too inclined to get this item. If he was, then no matter how she pleaded, she was sure that it would fall on deaf ears as it had happened in the previous items where Bidder 1101 was also called out by the others.
