MMORPG: I Can See Hidden Information Chapter 77 – Grand Competition

“800,000!”

Fike called out, raising his sign.

The auctioneer was overjoyed at the sight of this.

“Finally, someone's made a bid! 800,000 going once!”

Fike and Tegpus were giddy with happiness at this moment.

They did not think that just 800,000 would've allowed them to pick up such an important piece of material.

If the audience below the stage had known that this piece of Exotic Meteorite going for just 800,000 gold coins could be forged into a sword comparable to master-tier, they would probably have been scrambling over themselves to get it.

“800,000 going twice!”

Just as the host's hammer was about to slam down, a voice sounded.

“One million.”

Fike looked toward the source of the voice. It was a strange man cloaked in a black robe.

Fike quickly raised the bid.

“1.2 million!”

The host was ecstatic.

“1.2 million going once!”

Before the host had barely finished the line, the black-robed man called again.

“2 million!”

Fike did not intend to show any signs of weakness.

“2.6 million!”

This piece of Exotic Meteorite was simply too important. He thought to himself that he had to get it tonight at any cost.

“Five million!”

Hearing this number, the host could not believe his ears.

His voice clearly gave away his excitement.

“Five million going once, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?”

“Five million going twice!”

Noticing the host's eagerness to sell at the high price of five million, Fike called again.

“Six million!”

Hearing this, the guard behind the black-robed man muttered.

“How dare this kid raise the price? They can't even use the material at all!”

The black-robed man instructed in a hushed voice, “Continue raising. If it exceeds 10 million, we won't take it.”

The guard nodded before shouting at the host.

“8 million!”

“Eight million going once!”

Seeing that the black-robed man was still unrelenting, Fike followed suit.

“Nine million!”

“Nine million going once!

“Nine million going twice!”

“Master, do we still raise the price?”

“Add another 500,000. If we still can't get it, give it to them.”

“9.5 million!”

Hearing this number, both Fike and Tegpus knew that the battle was drawing close to an end.

“10 million!”

Fike shouted.

“10 million going once!

“10 million going twice!

“10 million going three times!

“Let us congratulate our friend in the VIP seats for buying this Exotic Meteorite for 10 million!”

Fike was giddy with excitement. This was his first time participating in an auction, and also his first time buying such an item.

Although the purpose of their trip had been achieved, Tegpus gestured for Fike not to leave in such a hurry.

“Let's continue watching and see what other good items will be put up!”

The host began a new announcement.

“I believe that our distinguished male guests will definitely like our next item. That is, a precious beastgirl, who has only just come of age!”

A red cloth was lifted, and a naked cat-eared girl appeared in front of everyone.

She was locked in a cage, and looked at the crowd below wearing a face of despair.

Immediately as the red cloth had been lifted, a violent tremor erupted from the audience.

“Don't fight with me! This little beauty is mine!”

“Bullshit! How could I hand over such a beautiful woman?”

“How much money do you even have in your pockets? Don't challenge me, hahahaha!”

Hearing the people below quarrelling like wild beasts, Fike felt extremely uncomfortable once again.

It was as if he had returned to Lecter Square on that fateful day, watching below the stage as unbridled celebrations surrounded him at the brutal scenes of decapitations.

“The starting bid is 8 million! Let the bidding begin!”

“10 million!”

“20 million!”

“25 million!”

“50 million!”

The price kept rising one after another, gradually approaching 100 million.

“100 million!”

A somewhat familiar voice sounded.

Fike looked in the direction of the voice and realized that it was Caesar, who had fled from Ledda City that day.

“Why are the people from the Palace of the Heavenly King here?”

Fike asked, puzzled.

“There are many entrances to this place, and one of them leads outside the city gates. Maybe they could have come through that entrance.”

Fike responded, his voice now containing a hint of anger.

“These people from the Palace of the Heavenly King are the real culprits of the riot in Ledda City.”

He proceeded to tell Tegpus everything that had happened that day.

“What? So it was these people from the Heavenly King's Palace who caused the riot in Ledda City? In other words, it was because of them that Bert died?”

Fike noticed that Tegpus' face was gradually becoming distorted.

“It won't be good to fight here, Fike. But with your current strength and myself, it'll definitely be enough to wipe them all out! Why not…”

As he listened to Tegpus' proposal, Fike nodded repeatedly.

“300 million going once!

“300 million going twice!

“300 million going three times!”

Congratulations to the distinguished guest for winning the beautiful beastgirl!

Cesar smiled smugly.

“Once we return to the northern headquarters of the Heavenly King's Palace, I'll show you a good time, little beauty!”

Caesar said in a wretched manner.

“Next is our last item, added to the auction at the last minute. Because the quality of this item is extremely rare, it will be a fitting finale!

“This is the tusk of a Demon Prince-tier Exotic Beast!”

At the drop of the words, a commotion once again erupted from beneath the stage.

“The tusk of a Demon Prince-tier Exotic Beast? Could it be the one that was discovered not long ago in Miracle Forest?”

“Such a rare treasure! How much is it?”

“Hey, don't keep us in suspense, hurry up and announce the price!”

“Everyone, please be patient. The starting bid is three billion!

“Let's commence the bidding!”

After hearing the price, the audience burst into an uproar.

“Three billion? How many people here can afford three billion?”

“Even if I had three billion, why would I use it all to buy this? This is too expensive!”

Just as everyone had been arguing non-stop, Caesar was the first to speak.

“Three billion!”

The collective gazes of the crowd turned towards Caesar in the VIP area.

“So it's the boss who bought the beastgirl just now!”

“He's really rich! He's simply forking over the three billion!”

Caesar smiled confidently.

'If we take this thing back and forge it into a powerful piece of equipment, the strength of the Heavenly King's Palace will surely rise to the next level!”

Just as he had been certain that he was going to win it…

“Four billion!”

The person who spoke was the black-robed man from before.

'Damn it, someone actually dares to snatch such an expensive item from me?!'

“How much money do we have left?”

Caesar asked the attendant beside him.

“Lord Caesar, we still have six billion.”

Hearing this, he called.

“Five billion!”

Almost instantaneously, the black-robed man responded.

“Six billion!”
