143: Chapter 143: Auction in Progress 143: Chapter 143: Auction in Progress The enormous panoramic floor-to-ceiling window made the interior space wonderfully bright and expansive, providing a clear view of the auction site. He took a few steps forward and peered through the glass window. Over a thousand players arrived for the auction were sitting tightly together, their faces animated, all eagerly awaiting the start of the auction. “Overturning Water, this is a megaphone, you can shout your bid directly into it. It’s pretty good.” “Um.” However, at that moment, an overweight, high-ranking NPC auctioneer slowly walked onto the auction platform. After stepping up, he wiped off the sweat from his brow, indicating that the walk had taken significant effort. He then raised his hands to silence the auction house. “Wow, how did a big fat guy get up there?” “Fat pig, get off the stage, you’re making me feel nauseous!” … The high-ranking auctioneer quietly watched the rowdy crowd, his face broke into an even bigger smile. After the noise subsided slightly, the fat man with large ears hardened his smile and shouted loudly, “Silence!” “Either participate or get lost!” “Tan has devoted his life to the Human Race of the Celestial Realm and has accomplished great feats. He will not tolerate you youngsters disrespecting him!” “This is an auction house! I don’t care about your status! If you’re a dragon, coil up for me, if you’re a tiger, sit obediently!” “I am giving you one minute. If there’s still any noise that displeases me, you will be kicked out! This auction house does not welcome you!” The entire room fell silent, as if everyone was holding their breath. Faces turned red, and not a word was spoken. The sounds of heavy breathing filled the room. “Very good.” The rotund auctioneer clapped his hands, his smile returning to his face, making him look like a Buddha with a beaming smile. “Those who know Tan should be aware that it’s best not to upset him. When Tan gets angry, even he gets scared of himself!” “Enough talk, today’s auction is now officially open!” Su Ran observed the high-ranking auctioneer with a serious expression. This man was no ordinary character, with just a few sentences, he managed to completely change the situation. “Before we begin, Tan does not like dallying or indecisiveness. Be alert and ready, if you want it, bid quickly. If you don’t want it, get out!” “To start, we will be auctioning our first treasure, a Level 30 Silver Weapon, the Silver Dragon Spear!” The plump auctioneer’s expression turned serious as he floated the schematic of the Silver Dragon Spear in mid-air. As the screen lit up, the schematic enlarged several times, enabling all present players to see it clearly. “This spear is an exceptional Silver Weapon, extremely sharp. It gives an attack boost of +15, and in addition, it has a desirable special skill, Edge!” The auctioneer’s face lit up with excitement, “With the special skill, Edge, it gives an additional +7 damage! This silver weapon alone can rival the output of a level 40 silver weapon!” “This high-attack weapon only requires level 30 to equip. Among us, Tan believes there are no reckless ones; a treasure like this should not be left collecting dust. Which of the Human Race’s warriors will step forward to wield this divine weapon and command the winds and clouds on the God-Demon Continent!” “Bidding for the first treasure, the Silver Dragon Spear, officially starts! Starting price, 10 gold coins, each bid must be no less than 1 gold coin!” Su Ran, watching from a single room, was rendered speechless. It was only a silver weapon with a slightly higher attack, was there a need to exaggerate and entice people like this? When it came to auctioning the Dark Gold Weapon, Lava Greatsword, which he had consigned, would he shatter the heavens with his description? Watching the red-faced and thick-necked players eagerly bidding, the entire auction house was soon flooded with an incredibly lively atmosphere. “Ok, player number 768, the bid is 20 gold coins! Any higher offers?” Tan Fatty was enthusiastic and eloquent, “Such a divine weapon could fall into the hands of others! Weapons are like companions. Could you bear seeing the companion that is about to become yours be forcibly taken away by someone else, gentlemen?” “Great, player number 247 offers 25 gold coins! Any higher offers?” “Fantastic, our hero player number 79 offers 35 gold coins!” “Bang!” Tan Fatty didn’t bother with a first or second call, he immediately hammered down on the auction podium, finalizing the deal! The first Silver Weapon, the Silver Dragon Spear, was sold for 35 gold coins! Watching Tan Fatty perform his auction duties with such passion, Su Ran nodded silently. Such work ethic, such enthusiasm, could only come from someone who was whole-heartedly devoted to their beloved work, mustn’t it be the case of a madman? Su Ran quietly watched as the second and third equipment appeared, with no intention to compete. Instead, it was the young gentleman sitting next to him who was enthusiastically watching the auctioned items, occasionally clenching his fists, the regret in his eyes particularly pronounced. Su Ran understood, the young man simply didn’t have the money. “Why don’t you spend money to buy some gold coins?” Su Ran asked curiously. Grandpa Lee’s family was not wealthy, but it wasn’t poor either. As a deputy leader, she should inject some money to keep up appearances, shouldn’t she? “Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. I did a good deed and helped a poor child. So, I’m a bit short this month.” The young gentleman said nonchalantly and then quickly turned his gaze back to the auction. Su Ran was taken aback and then asked, “How did you help?” “Nothing much, I bought a Skill Book worth 20,000 back for 30,000. Am I foolish?” The young gentleman turned to Su Ran with a carefree smile, “I’m happy. Sёarch* The ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Anyway, I have a place where I can eat and drink for free.” Su Ran fell silent. So that’s it! After a moment, Su Ran took out over 100 gold coins and handed them to the young gentleman. “Oh, Overturning Water, what are you doing?” The young gentleman was a little uncomfortable with Overturning Water’s sudden generosity, “You’re not planning to sponsor me, are you? Sorry, but I can’t help, I sell talent, not my body!” However, the young gentleman had taken all the gold coins and put them in his bag. “Nothing, I just thought that seeing you, the deputy leader, looking so poor was kind of embarrassing. I’m giving you a chance!” Su Ran certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to reveal his true identity to the young gentleman. To learn from one’s mistakes was wisdom. “Um, Overturning Water, do I have to pay back this chance?” The young gentleman asked pitifully, sounding somewhat weak. “If you want to pay, then pay. If not, don’t.” Su Ran couldn’t help but smile at the young gentleman’s awkward act. “Great, Overturning Water, you’re a good person!” The young gentleman jumped up with joy. Oh, a good person card… “Make sure you watch the auction. You’ve already missed several pieces!” Su Ran kindly reminded him, shifting his attention to the auction. What Su Ran didn’t know was that the young gentlemen had taken a long look at him, his eyes revealing an elusive glimmer. “The next item is very unique.” Tan Fatty’s tone suddenly became somber on the auction stage, “Everyone, look!” A smoke-like object suddenly appeared on the auction stage. It was grey and seemed to be alive, continuously surging there. Suddenly, this object turned into a giant schematic that was displayed in front of all the players. “High-level Cauldron Soul!” Su Ran exclaimed, startling the young gentleman next to him.
