In a VIP box, a slender-faced man in a black suit, his hair meticulously combed, stood in front of floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the bustling scene below.
Invitations to the Muk-Chin Auction were mostly distributed in the Zhongkong Region, and most of the attendees were from powerful families of that area.
Aside from bidding on items they coveted, many were also there with the intention of socializing.
The Zhao family, the Li family, the Xu family... The man matched the people coming and going below with the data in his mind.
Soon, his gaze settled on a child in a school uniform.
The man showed a look of surprise, Whose family could this child be from?
...
"Hello, I’m Yu Ke from the Yu family in the North. Who might you be with?" a girl around 18, wearing a pink dress that revealed her rounded shoulders, asked with a proper smile as she sat on the chieftain chair next to Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang glanced at her while nibbling on pastries, "The state’s."
Yu Ke: "???"
She’s quite guarded... Yu Ke mused to herself.
Her eyes were uncontrollably drawn to the glorious-furred pet beast on the girl’s knees.
She had seen it on the way there -- the pet beast was actually around three meters in size and capable of running through the sky.
A psychic series pet beast like this, handsome and able to carry people in flight, was simply beyond the capabilities of most to contract.
She also noticed that the girl hadn’t worn an oxygen mask outside, indicating she must be at least a D-rank Beast Tamer, meaning the beast could very well belong to her instead of an elder in her family.
Others who attended the auction without much concern for appearances might just not know the threshold of the Muk-Chin Auction and were merely lucky to receive an invitation.
But the girl before her had an exceptional aura and didn’t show any signs of intimidation even in such an environment without any elders. Coupled with her possession of such a rare pet beast at a young age, Yu Ke could almost assert that her background was far from ordinary.
With that thought, the girl’s high level of caution seemed quite reasonable.
As someone adept at socializing, she quickly adjusted her own mentality.
Just as Yu Ke was preparing to demonstrate her social skills again, the lights in the hall changed, and a beautiful woman walked up to the front stage.
The chattering crowd quickly found their seats.
The woman flashed a smile, "Distinguished guests, good evening and welcome to this year’s Muk-Chin Auction. I’m Tang Shu, a senior national auctioneer with registration number 1102876. I will be presiding over today’s auction, and I’m very happy to serve you all. I hope everyone here will leave contented."
"Before we begin the auction, I will read out an important statement for this event. Attendance, please distribute the auction catalogues."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a flock of small, white-suited bird-type pet beasts burst through the surrounding windows, each clutching a catalogue in its beak.
Qiao Sang took a catalogue from the beak of one of the white bird-type pet beasts and began to flip through it.
Holy shit!
A Poisontail Earth Dragon Egg!
An SS-rank item made by Master An!
A Materializing Crystal that could solidify a spectral-type pet’s illusions for one minute!
An Evolution Elixir that allows any King-level pet beast to experience evolution for a day!
Awesome! Qiao Sang danced inwardly with joy.
Where could you usually see such things!
And even if you did see them, you might not be eligible to purchase them!
But now, they were available for purchase with money, and it happened during her wealthiest year!
Qiao Sang turned the page with great excitement:
[Name: SS-rank Dark Serene Crystal]
"35 million!" Someone immediately raised their number plate and called out. frёeωebɳovel.com
