Chapter 451: System Auction (3)
“The first item for the night is…. The marvelous gear item, [Indestructible Boots], it’s a pair of heavy metal boots with infinite durability, which will not be damaged even if the user is walking with it in two inch deep lava.
It is a one of a kind item, as you will never find a second item in the world of Terra Nova with infinite durability.
The bidding for these boots start at 600,000 gold coins and the price will increase by a minimum of 50,000 gold coins per bid.
Good luck! Let the bidding begin” Raya said, as she introduced the very first item for the night.
The indestructible boots were undoubtedly a very interesting and unique item. In terms of looks they were big, shiny and red, however, it was the fact that they had an infinite durability stat that made them so special.
Nothing in the world was supposed to be indestructible, however, these boots seemed to defy the laws of physics, making them a one of a kind item.
That being said, Leo wasn’t even the least bit interested in the item as a quick scan by him revealed the item’s information.
———
[ Indestructible Boots ] ( Unique ) :- A one of a kind item in the world of Terra Nova with an infinite durability stat.The weight of these boots is roughly 125 kg a piece or 250kg for the pair, making it unsuitable for day to day operations.
However, with the boot made up of quite the valuable materials, even its scrap metal worth is a minimum of 20 million gold coins.
Unfortunately, however, with the boots being indestructible they can never be scrapped to regain the divine materials used to forge it.
———-
As Leo read the item’s description he understood that the item was of no use to him in a realistic scenario as being an assassin he had no use for boots that weighed over 250 kg and offered no sound insulation to his movement.
The boots were nothing more than a gimmick, and could only be potentially useful to tank class players and that too sparingly.
However, to his absolute shock, there was a bidding frenzy for the item, as over 10 different people bid on the item once the bidding began.
“650,000 from number 22”
“700,000 from number 74”
“750,000 from number 81”
.
.
.
.
“1.2 million from number 22”
.
.
.
.
.
“3.2 million from number 74”
In the blink of an eye, the bidding went from 600,000 to 3.2 million, as Raya kept calling the bids as soon as someone raised their placard.
This left Leo in a sense of shock as 3.2 million gold coins was not a small sum at all, and yet there were over 10 people in this room who had the ability to bid in millions.
‘Why the hell are they paying millions for this junk? Also why the hell are the players here so wealthy?’ Leo wondered, as he got a small reality check that although he considered himself to be the biggest monetary bigshot in the world, the others were not doing too bad themselves.
“3.2 million going once…. 3.2 million going twice…. 3.2, 3.2, 3.2 million going thrice and sold to the gorgeous lady sitting in #74 seat” Raya announced, as a polite applause filled the entire room when someone won the first item.
Even Leo clapped a bit, although he found the whole concept to be foolish, as in his eyes the boots were not practical at all.
However, the boots definitely set the tone for the night, as with the very first item being so unique and exciting, everyone was eager to see what would come up for auction next.
Even Leo felt excited, as although he already knew that the items 1-50 were not worth bidding on and that the better items were going to come in the latter half, with the very first item being so interesting, he felt like maybe there were items in the 1-50 range that would pique his interest.
“Introducing next….. the second item for the night, an ancient book with three of its pages missing.
This 25 page book was once owned by the Founding Emperor of the Unity Empire and is said to contain his secrets to reaching the Grandmaster realm.
Unfortunately, 3 of those 25 pages are missing, making this an incomplete volume, however, knowledge like this can still be considered invaluable!
Bidding for this item starts at 1.5 million gold coins and the minimum increment is 100,000 gold coins.
Good luck players! Let the bidding begin!” Raya said, as she introduced the second very interesting item for the night.
Audible gasps went around the room, when she said that the book contained secrets to reaching the Grandmaster realm, as for a moment even Leo felt interested in buying the item.
Shockingly, when he tried to inspect the item, he could not find any more information about it, as his level was probably too low to inspect it.
———
[ A Warrior’s Life ] ( incomplete ) ( Legendary ) :- An incomplete copy of the legendary book written by the founding Emperor of Unity Empire.
????????

Before Leo could even decide whether he wanted to bid on an incomplete item or not, the bidding process started violently, with the price going up from 1.5 to 3.5 million in the blink of an eye.
Although number 22, and 81 were bidding on it, there were at least 7 new numbers bidding on this item this time around that had not bid on the first item, which shocked Leo as to how there were so many players in this room with such extreme wealth.
“3.6 million gold coins from number #98…. Do we have 3.7?” Raya asked, as Leo officially placed his first bid of the night, however, his bid for 3.6 was soon overshadowed by others, as the price of the item quickly climbed to 4.5 million gold coins, with there being 4 players still in the bidding race.
“A friendly advice mate….. that item is not worth bidding for, let it be” #99 guy told Leo just as he was about to place a bid for 4.6 million, as Leo raised an eyebrow at his words.
Leo had no idea who #99 was, however, somehow the way that the guy said those words made Leo trust him for some odd reason, as he refrained from bidding any more.
In the end the Emperor’s book sold for whopping 5 million gold coins to #43 eliciting loud claps from the entire room.
