East Meet West

229- Auction Ends

Orochi, who was sitting in his room, was closely observing the golden armor through the ‘Object Magnifying Glass’.

Even before Liza Dohm released all the details about the golden armor, Orochi knew every detail about it.

Actually, he knew much more about the golden armor than compared to Liza Dohm.

When he was at the Leon Clan, he used to go and read books in the Leon Clan Library, and in those books, he would especially look at this world’s history, culture, etc.

One time, he was reading a book related to some kingdom that was destroyed a few hundred years ago.

And in that book, he came across a peculiar-looking armor, which resembled the Golden armor that is on the stage.

And of course, the reason why he remembered that particular armor was because its design and the look, gave the vibes of his previous world.

When the golden armor was brought onto the stage, Orochi immediately used the ‘Observation’ skill on it.

Golden Armor- Damaged

Grade- Yellow grade Level 2 [Before]

Red Grade Level 4 [Current]

An old armor that has experienced many battles and due to being buried in the earth for many years, its grade has fallen. It has an energy-storing crystal, which has a special array engraved on it.

+12101 Defense

.

So, when Orochi saw these details, he understood everything about the golden armor.

True, getting a damaged yellow grade armor is very appealing to him, and even the 12 thousand defense stat bonus, makes his heart move.

But if someone asks him what caught his interest, then he would answer- the array marked on the brown crystal.

He already has a yellow grade artifact from the inheritance cave, and he can get lots of Free stat points and add them to the defense stat.

Yes, the brown crystal is also good, but he also has a few Low grade energy cores, although they cannot compare to the brown crystal, but it still works.

But what he lacks is- knowledge.

He has good strength, he has the system, he has powerful fighting techniques and martial arts, he has good weapons, but he lacks knowledge that can make his power grow.

He wants to be the Jack of all Trades.

Hence, he is trying to get all the knowledge regarding pill concoction, Arrays, and Formation, refining weapons, medicine, etc.

So, if Orochi gets his hands on the golden armor [brown crystal], then he can study the array engraved on the brown crystal and try to recreate it on other things, then he would have a big boost.

.

After Liza Dohm finished giving a few other details of the golden armor, she announced the starting price,

“The starting price of the golden armor is 25,000 gold coins. And each increase in bid must be higher than 1000 gold coins.”

As soon as she announced the price, there was big silence in the auction hall. Because the price that was called out by Liza Dohm put many people in a difficult position.

Let's not talk about those who are sitting in the auction hall.

But even the people sitting in the VIP rooms did not bid.

Why?

Because 25,000 gold coins are not a small amount for a Red Grade Level 4 armor.

Let's put aside ‘How amazing the golden armor is’ or ‘it is found in an ancient ruin’ or ‘the special protective barrier’, etc.

True, people sitting in the VIP rooms, have lots of money; but to them, 25,000 gold coins is still a big amount.

And the fact that in the market a Red grade Level 4 artifact’s cost usually ranges from 6000 to 8000 gold coins.

And in their eyes, the golden armor is damaged to a great extent and the protective barrier requires lots of energy, which means they would have to spend lots of resources on it.

Hence, people are hesitant to make a bid.

But if there was someone from places like the Kingdoms or Empires, or person with millions of golds in the pocket, they would buy the golden armor at any cost, because they know how valuable a piece of knowledge or a special artifact like the golden armor is when compared to their wealth.

And since Orochi is also from that place, so seeing that no one was willing to make the bid, he made his bid,

“40,000 gold coins.”

And as soon as Orochi’s voice fell, almost all the competitors who were hesitating to make the bid decided to keep quiet because Orochi’s bid has crossed their limits.

But of course, there are still a few who were also interested in the golden armor, so after a brief silence, a few people started to make bids.

“41,000 gold coins.”

“42,000 gold coins.”

.

.

Finally, at 70,000 gold coins, Orochi was able to acquire the golden armor.

Seeing this, everyone had different ideas popping up in their minds.

Few people felt regret as they are not able to get the golden armor.

While few people had ideas on Orochi and his belongings. So, they sent their men near Orochi’s room to monitor him and also gather information about him. And after Orochi exits the auction, they will make their move.

And in this group of people, the people from the Willow sword sect and the Chan clan have already taken action.

And there are other people, who are willing to stand on the sidelines and take action depending on the turn of events.

Orochi in his room has already felt a few additional malicious intents directed towards his room, but he was not flustered by this, instead, he had a smile on his face because he was very much looking forward to things that will after he exits the auction house.

After Liza Dohm spoke a few words and declared that the auction is over, people started to get up and move out of the auction hall.

As for those people, who were able to acquire things in today’s auction, they moved to the special rooms arranged by the Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce, where they can pay the money and get the items they bid for.

But people sitting in the VIP rooms had special treatment, so Orochi waited in his room and asked the servant to bring the items he bid to his room.

Soon, one of the higher ups in the Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce entered Orochi’s room and brought along all the items that Orochi bid for.

It was a middle aged guy who brought the items to Orochi’s room. He respectfully spoke to Orochi,

“Esteemed guest, these are the items you have bid for in today’s auction, please check if everything is correct.”

He pointed towards the items that were placed on the table.

Orochi took a look and nodded,

“Yes, they are correct, how much is it?”

The middle aged guy quickly replied,

“The total amount after the calculation is 238,000 gold coins. But since you are a VIP member of our Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce, you will get a discount on this amount. So, you just have to pay 220,000 gold coins.”
