BXBX NOVEL Chapter 253 - The +1 Spammer
The item revealed was a luminous red pearl that seemed like some piece of Jewelry, but it\'s size was quite small, which made it look more like a bead…
"The Blood Nourishment Beast Pearl!"
This blood pearl was obviously a different thing than the well known beast core, and although it looked just like a mini fire monster with the color being just a tad deeper, the normal experienced person would be able to easily differentiate them…
"As most of you know, this beast pearl is a must have item for practitioners with monster companions, as it could give the companion a basic body improvement boost that would allow it to grow faster from a higher standpoint, the minimum bid will start at 120 gold coins!"
"Hmmm, my little brother has recently picked up a small tiger beast, maybe he would like this as a gift, 120!"
As the auctioneer explained, this item was indeed a good one, as it would allow beasts to get something similar to an overall stat increase that wouldn\'t normally affect their actual level, which means it wasn\'t a hasty growth method, but one that gave the beast more room for growth…
"It\'s not that pricey I guess, 130!"
As for how it was made, it relied greatly on one component, beast blood. Of course, that was beast blood that didn\'t have its essence absorbed with the requirement of the beast blood being used to be collected from varied beasts with varied qualities…
"135!"
The pearl itself was quite useful but with the limit of being only possible for beasts\' use, one time in the beasts\' whole life at that, it made this rarity turn into a normal treasure that wasn\'t in great demand…
Nonetheless, it was still pricey as it\'s and still sparsely rare due to combination of beast blood needed to make it, so it somehow was qualified enough to be part of this auction, which was obviously good news to me...
"Two hundred gold coins."
Announcing my bid, I didn\'t plan to waste time for these reluctant bidders to pick up the pace, as I needed to obtain this pearl for Light\'s sake, who knew, maybe this pearl would allow it to wake up soon?
"201."
"Oh?"
Surprisingly enough, someone had made this kind of a joke bid, which made me think of...
"Two Hundred ten."
"211."
"Two hundred twenty."
"221."
"Two hundred twenty two!"
\'Two can play the same game!\'
Since he seemed to be invested enough in this, I didn\'t mind accompanying him, after all, I was planning to get this pearl no matter what…
"..."
"222 going once… 222 going twice… Sold!"
Fortunately enough, the voice which came from another VIP booth didn\'t continue with his +1 gold bids as he stopped as soon I changed my sequence… But that only made me more suspicious…
"The next item is actually the last item of the Earthen set that a guest have put out for auction together, just yesterday…"
As the auctioneer revealed the item, I had also found the second item I would like to bid for…
"The Earthen death snipe Crossbow!"
Another sand like item!
"Without much to talk about, this item is also an earth elemental conducting item just like the other two, and it\'s also enhanced to give 110% conduction performance, the minimum bid starts at 175 gold."
"200!"
"250!"
"370!"
"400… Sigh, it\'s a pity that such an enhancement is wasted on a crossbow, if price surpasses this bid then I\'m out..."
It seemed as if the crossbow wasn\'t really popular due to the fact that it was one of the weapons that elemental conductance had fewer effects on, just like the bow, the only superposing effect was its shooting strength especially since it was an \'Earth\' element conductor weapon…
However, to me, this was a very good catch, not only would I finally be able to add the crossbow form to my \'Lightning Cloud\', but I\'d also gain an \'Earth Vein\' which might have possible use in the future!
"Four hundred fifty!"
"It\'s that VIP booth once again…?"
"Is he a collector of pricy useless items?!"
"I don\'t know, seems like it…"
"Shhhh, a VIP isn\'t someone you could talk like this about!"
"He can\'t really hear us, can he?"
"Just shut up!"
"Whatever…"
Hearing the gossip of the young sect members, I didn\'t really mind as I was quite satisfied with actually finding two useful items in this auction that I only participated in to pass time and sell off my elemental crystals…
"450 going once… 450 going twice… Sold!"
Luckily, this time the +1 gold spammer didn\'t follow me up once again at this item, but that also still only made my suspicion make sense, unless the bidder was one that was really tight on money but really wanted the pearl, then this was most likely to be as I expect it to be…
Knock. Knock.
"Enter."
"Here\'s esteemed guest\'s item, the bid amount will be directly withdrawn from your account."
"Alright."
By the time I won the bid for the Earthen Crossbow, a servant finally delivered me the box containing the blood colored pearl and slowly left before…
Knock. Knock.
"Enter…"
"Here\'s esteemed guest\'s second item…"
It was only a few seconds after he left, so he hastily left this time after leaving the box that was supposedly containing the Earthen Crossbow I just won, seemingly to prepare in case I won the item after this one…
However, disappointing us both, the rest of the auction went on without something worth noticing, with most of the items being ones that I found in the list, other than the enchanted Earthen jade slip which seemed to be an auxiliary item of the other set of three, though the auctioneer himself didn\'t say so…
As such, 5 items later, the only thing this auction meant to me was \'When will my collection be auctioned\', as I waited somewhat impatiently…
"I know it hasn\'t been long, but our auction for today\'s almost done, as most of the old participants know, while the number of the items wasn\'t that high, it\'s because we strive to only add the rarest of treasures to our unique auction…"
"So as to match our slogan, I present you our last item…"
"The Unique \'Omni Crystal\' Collection!"
\'Finally!\'
