War Online

Chapter 37: Auction

Entering the Auction House, Will glanced at others, who were appearing as if they were shadows as he received a notification that everyone received.

*Ding. You entered a no-combat zone. Your abilities are restricted.

Will nodded as he was familiar with the process and took his seat. Since this is a trial auction, they didn't prepare any private booths for the players and everyone just sat together as if they were in an auditorium.

Looking at the inventory, Will smiled in satisfaction as he thought, "I have 255 gold. Originally, I had 156 gold. I earned another 56 from the commission and spent 20 on guards and 7 on the library.

So, Aster and others were able to collect 70 gold in this meantime? Hmm, I think I should give some incentives to the boys, later."

Just then, the lights were off except for the stage, and an extremely beautiful NPC, who was designed after a popular celebrity named Wu Sujin entered with ten guards who were carrying boxes.

She opened her mouth, "Hello, adventurers of the East Ocean City. This is your favorite idol, Cloud Fairy. Nice to meet you."

Will thought, "That's right, even in the game world of War Online, Idols and Actresses exist. Those jobs will be available once the life professions open and drag all the major Entertainment agencies from the real world.

That entertainment business will become one of the biggest profiting business later. I should invest in them as soon as possible. I guess there's a lot of work to do."

Back to the auctioneer, CloudFairy spoke, "Welcome to the System Auction. Here are the ten items you will bid for. Without wasting any time, let's reveal the first item.

As one of the guards brought the first box to her, she opened it and took out a bottle that looks like a perfume.

"This is the Healing perfume that contains 100 drops. You can inspect it for the details. The bidding starts from 10 Gold. Each Bid must not be less than 50 silver."

As she placed it on a table to let everyone inspect it, Will inspected the item like everyone else.

The perfume of Healing.

Description: It is a perfume that lets you heal yourself or your ally with full health for every drop you used. It only contains 100 drops.

Everyone gasped seeing its effects as it can restore your health to full 100 times.

As everyone received a holographic picture before them stating the item and the price, immediately, a person bid it for 11gold.

Meanwhile, at seat number 36, SnowDew texted to Flame Emperor, who sat at seat number 12, "Dad, I want it."

CloudFairy spoke, "Seat number 12 bids for 20 gold. Anyone want to bid?"

Hearing the bid directly went to 20, everyone already gave up while Williard frowned, "20? This item's real worth only occurs when we passed 300 levels. Is it really worth it? Hmm, let's see until 30."

As Will bid it for 21 gold, CloudFairy announced with a smile, "Seat no. 18 bids for 21 gold." Before even a second passed, CloudFairy announced, "Seat no. 12 bids for 25 gold.

Will bid it again at 26 gold but then Cloud Fairy announced, "Seat no.12 bids for 30 gold."

Hearing the amount 30 gold, Williard no longer bid and CloudFairy announced, "30 Gold, goes once, twice... and sold. Congratulations, Seat no.12 for acquiring the Healing perfume. Let's move on to the next item."

She opened the second box and took out an ancient-looking book.

"This is an ancient book that contains the legacy of the First Emperor of Llyne Kingdom. The bidding starts at 10 with every bidding must be at least 1 gold higher."

Legacy of Acke Llyne.

Description: It contains the legacy of the founder of Llyne Kingdom. Upon use, your class will change to the paladin and receive the memories of the First Emperor.

At first, Will lost the interest to bid as he is already a legend class user but upon reading the second sentence that says about the memories, he developed an interest.

Unlike the first, very few were interested in it as paladin class is the least favored hidden class because of its off-tank and off-healer class abilities. Not to mention, 10 gold for a hidden class seemed high for many people as they aren't very rare.

"11 gold" "12 gold" "13 gold" "15 gold"

Will raised the amount directly to 25 gold at an instant, which brought a clear message that he wants it.

Since no one wants to spend such a high amount for mere memories and a hidden class, everyone else gave up and CoudFairy announced after 10 seconds of silence, "25 gold once, twice and sold. Congratulations, Seat no.21 for acquiring the legacy of the First Emperor."

Immediately, his 255 gold was reduced to 230 and the ancient book appeared in his hand, which he threw it in the inventory while thinking, "only 8 items remained."

CloudFairy then opened the third box and revealed a black fruit.

"This is an unnamed mysterious fruit. Upon consumption, your attack stat increases by 1000 permanently. We have a total of 10 fruits in the box. Our bidding starts at 20 gold."

Looking at it, Will kept silent as he started to laugh inside looking at the antics of the system, "hahaha, what a trap. I know these briper fruits. Even though it seemed like they can increase your attack stat permanently by 10000, one can only consume once. The second one doesn't take effect."

The players, who don't know its real effects kept on bidding aggressively.

"62 gold once, twice... sold. Congratulations, Seat no.3 for acquiring the mysterious fruit."

Meanwhile, on Seat no.3, WhiteTiger received five black fruits. Looking at it, he smiled coldly, "10000 permanent attack stat. I, Lu Heibei will soon become the strongest."

If Will would have known the identity who bought such a trap item for such a high amount of gold, he would have rolled on the floor continuously while laughing.

The auction went on... the fourth item was a level-100 epic sword with all stats unlocked, which was bought by Supreme Master for 38 gold.

The fifth one is a Heroic pet scroll, which has a 100% chance to capture a Heroic pet.

Even though Will was interested in and fought until 50 gold, eventually he gave up as Flame Emperor raised it to 60 gold and bought it.

It also made everyone include Will wondered how much gold did Seat no.12 possess. Little did they know that the Flame Emperor already burned all the money both of them gathered from the quests, dungeons, and their famous weapon shop until now for the two items.

Then, CloudFairy opened the sixth box. As soon as he looked at the symbol drawn on it, he tightened his fist while she announced, "this is an ancient tome written in a mysterious language. We haven't identified the language. It might be one of the ancient long lost languages.

It might just contain the history someone wrote or it might contain some heaven-defying secrets or even skills. The bidding starts from 20 gold."

Even though Will got the feeling that his body is shaking and his heart is beating fast with excitement, he tried to stay calm and didn't bid immediately while he kept on screaming in his mind, "that's not a simple tome, you idiot. That's a f****** Legend class."
