Chapter 68: Rich!
Marooner sat in one of the seats with his dashing armor. He couldnt be bothered to remove his armor and don again every time. Since he was here and would attend the auction it was more convenient to attend as the Marooner.
There were people in the seats looking at him weirdly, and all the newcomers had their eyes locked on him for a few seconds, but no one bothered him. Miles was glad for that.
As time passed, people filled the seats. Quinn and her cohort, Tian Ling and his gang, Mihr Orril and his friends all came. Miles failed to see Porseila, but it wasnt that surprising. Her family was the richest in Unity, thus she wouldnt need anything sold in the auction, not after she stole all the honey from him!
When all the seats were full, the auction started. Idris took the stage and smiled at the audience. Hello everyone. Welcome to the Auction, I will be the host, Idris.
Rules are the same as always. The highest bidder gets the item. Idris greeted and talked about the rules, then without going into detail, called for the first item.
The tray came and Idris opened the lid, inside was a sitting white-colored orb. Inside the orb, there was a purple rectangular device sitting. The sheen around the orb was intimidating. But Miles didnt know what the orb was.
For starters, we have a high-tier rare orb. It is an explosive type, one-time offensive orb. Just shift it to its second form and throw it to the enemy. Because one-time orbs are, well for one time, their effects are much greater. I should remind you, this orb is an explosive type, which itself is highly proactive. The high-tier explosive orbs can damage pinnacle-tier monsters, and one-time explosives can even kill said monsters. Idris introduced the orb feverishly. Even Miles wanted to acquire the orb. It was a great tool to save ones life.
The base price of the orb is 50 Million UD. Every increment cant be lower than 500k. Start! Idris gave the price and the audience went mad. The opening items of the auctions would usually be the best second item auctioned at the session. But the orb auction already made the audience go crazy.
55 Million!
60 Million!
People on their seats shouted with zeal. Everyone with a solid stash did their best to increase the price. The real riches, on the other hand, waited for them to play around before the battle truly started.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
Not long after, the price reached 100 Million UD and increment started to slow down. When it reached 120 Million, other players started to bid.
As expected no one bid after Tian Ling. There were still 4 other batches, and half a million was too expensive for 2 liters of honey.
The first batch goes to Tian Ling. Thank you for your patronage, and now lets start on the second one.
Five Million UD! Tian Ling said calmly once again, as soon as Idris finished.
The third and fourth also sold for the same price, and not long after, the fifth batch was presented to the audience.
Five Million UD. Tian Ling shouted once again, but this time, others wanted a piece too. Six! Mihr Orril bade.
6.5 Million. Quinn also joined for the first time. The three biggest functions bade one after another, and in the end, all five batches sold out. First, four sold for 5 Million each, earning 20 Million UD, and the last one sold for a whopping 10.2 Million UD to Mihr Orril.
Mr. Marooner, the five batches of honey sold for 30.2 Million UD in total. As you agreed before, the auction house takes %20 shares of all sales, thus 24.160.000 UD. Do you approve? The tall and beautiful girl greeted Miles after the auction ended, and walked him backstage. There she explained how much he had earned and would do the transaction.
Hmm. Miles nodded. He was actually surprised. He traded 40 liters of honey for a couple of hundred millions UD when he purchased the transportation orb. Now, only 4 liters of it earned him 20 millions. If Miles knew before, he would exchange it all with that weird man. He paid more than what honey was worth.
Have a good day, Mr. Marooner. The girl said with a blush and looked at Miless face covered with maroon armor. She also saw how heroic Miles was while he fought to save the hospital, thus having a crush on him. She wanted to ask him if she could see his face, but she knew it wouldnt be possible.
Miles, oblivious to the girl's thoughts, turned and left the door. He walked to his room before taking out the armor and jumping on the bed.
I earned really well this time. I have 24 Million from honey, grandpa gave me two million, and mother agreed to finance my first Mind Serum which is also a Million UD. All in all, I recovered my funds. Miles pondered to himself.
