Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 203 Winner



"What?! So many? Is it really worth the price?"

"Fool! That\'s not even enough!"

"Kekeke, I think this move was made by the Nexus Auction House themselves to quicken the process and get more magic tools. They just wanted those rich men to be desperate."

"That\'s right… The next lists that will be submitted will no longer be announced after all. It will be up to their imagination now. They could only try to exceed the current bid by several times."

"What a move… If they announced another list, the rich guys on the second level will try to get more items…"

"Only six minutes were left… They won\'t have time."

The time passed slowly as almost everyone at the second level desperately tried to gather more Magic Tools and Artifacts.

Perhaps, there is only a single balcony area with no desire to cooperate with others.

"Master Seia, we already collected everything that we could. Luckily, there are a lot more junior members of Alchemist Union than we thought. Especially that man named Lucian, he even sold three Pseudo-Legendary Items to us.

"Well, he only allowed us to borrow them. If we don\'t win this, we\'ll just give it back instead of paying..." Seia replied.

Not everyone wanted to sell their items after all. Many of them were like Alchemist Lucian who only allowed them to borrow it and be returned if they lost the bidding war. Only when they won the bid will they ask for the price of their item.

"We have 10 Unique Items, 8 Epic Items, and 7 Pseudo-Legendary Items after all. Even though two of them were damaged, it still has a high value. I\'m sure that we can win this."

Her servant replied. They were all confident that they could obtain the Vermillion Hawk this time. This is the wealth of all 13 rich members of the Alchemist Union!

In truth, even Seia herself had never held this many treasures. Especially the Pseudo-Legendary Items. She only had one of them and that is even something she had obtained during dangerous dungeon exploration that she never wanted to be repeated.

Of course, Seia knows deep inside that other groups might be able to contend against them. These groups were the merchant association and the dungeon explorers at the first level.

While the Merchant Association can use the money to buy magic tools, the dungeon explorers here have many collections of magic artifacts and no one would doubt that.

Most of the dungeons in this Black Tower territory are profitable after all.

Nevertheless, after waiting for over 10 minutes for the Nexus Auction House to make a decision. None of the three prominent groups managed to acquire the Silver Medallion!

"What\'s going on?! How come our bid was not accepted?! That\'s 7 Pseudo-Legendary Items with so many Epic Items!" Seia\'s servant shouted in anger.

"Tsk! Shut up! Our Merchant Association offered 10 Pseudo-Legendary Items… Although they are all just the lowest quality out there, they are still pseudo-legendary items! 10 of them is already equal to a Legendary as far as I know!" A man with a huge build who appears to be a bodyguard of a plump young man beside him expressed his annoyance to Seia\'s servant.

What was surprising about this is that Oslo, the leader of the Dungeon Explorers at the first level expressed his dissatisfaction with the result as well.

"We have over 15 Epic Items, 5 Pseudo-Legendary Items, and 1 damaged Legendary Artifact. This is weird… How come we\'ve lost? Can you announce the bid of the winner, Lady Velvet…"

He sounded very polite but anyone can tell that he was just suppressing himself. He had spent his 30 years of savings for this bid.

Most of the dungeon explorers he knows didn\'t agree with just borrowing their Magic Tools, they wanted to sell them completely. If he did not purchase those Pseudo-Legendary Items, they would be sold to the merchant association which was his competitor in this event.

"Hmmm… I guess all your concerns are valid. Very well, we are also planning to announce the winner of the bid to ensure you that there really is a winner and we weren\'t just making things up and not planning to give the Vermillion Hawk…" Lady Velvet said as she assured everyone about the fairness of this auction.

This is a huge matter for the 5th Tower which made the Vermillion Hawk after all. This auction is considered part of their marketing strategy so they have to announce the value of the lightweight floating airship that they have sold.

Everyone immediately went silent as they waited for Velvet\'s announcement… She took the paper given by one of the attendants and read it in her mind. After a while, Velvet gave a smile as she looked at everyone.

"The winning bid was made by our customer Number 56. They have listed 100 Unique Items, 50 Epic Items, and 10 Pseudo-Legendary Items. It appears that the organization behind this man has really prepared himself prior to this event." Velvet announced as everyone could only shake their heads after hearing the great number of treasures Vincent was willing to give.

"Incredible… Did he ransack a bank or something? How can he bring so many items?"

"That\'s true. They didn\'t even bother buying Magic Tools from us… It means that they\'ve really prepared this much from the start."

"He\'s probably backed by a huge clan… No wonder they\'ve won the Tier 4 Rejuvenation Pill."

The crowd started imagining the organization behind group Number 56.

Right now, Oslo, Seia, and the Merchant Association\'s representative could only sigh in defeat as they started leaving the Auction House.

Velvet then announced the end of their Organization\'s 80th Anniversary Event as they called the others to claim the product they\'ve won.

As for Vincent\'s group, they were brought to a different reception hall to claim the Vermillion Hawk after their payment.

Stellar Residence.

A group consisting of 15 people arrived in front of the estate. This place was previously old and dull but because of the renovations made recently, it appears elegant from the outside as the newly arrived group tried to probe what was beyond the gate. It no longer looked cheap as it seem quite clean and safe.

"Squad Leader, do we really have to get their permission to enter? Can\'t we just destroy this place?" One of the members asked in annoyance.

"If the criminals are not here, do we use your salary as payment for damages?" A deep voice coming from the squad leader replied.

"Hmph! Would they even dare? We are the Black Tower\'s Dragon Riders! We should have the authority to do that much!"
