2 security guys approached with a cart, they stopped in front of the presenter. Yong Yi-Jae unveiled the cart and announced.
"For the first item, we have a Low-Grade Iron sword ! The must-have item for adventurer of the Iron rank ! The price start at 10 T1 platinum and the minimum increase is 1 platinum. Good luck"
The audience directly erupted ! A Low-Grade Iron sword ! Only blacksmith 4* have the chance to craft one, and it's if they have the right materials ! Bid after bid were called from the rich people here. A lot of disappointment too, not everyone can bid an item with a minimum bid of 10 platinum.
"30 platinum ! I take it !"
...
"70 platinum, Who want to compete ?"
...
"250 platinum !" A huge voice called from the VIP room, it's stopped instantly the public's fervor.
Yong Yi-Jae waited a little if another VIP room wanted to bid too but to no avail. She called the bid off
Bae bitterly smiled after seeing this, he only have one silver with him and the first item selled for 250 platinum. He started to regret the fact that he didn't practiced more in his blacksmith job.
He also learned at the start that to be in a VIP room you have either be an Bronze adventurer or to have in money more than one T2 bronze coin. Having 100 T1 platinum is not considered because it's harder to trade T1 coin to T2.
The auction continued after this, several item passed and It's now the turn of his elite nail !
"For the next item, we found a rare alchemist material ! Yes, It's a perfect elite nail ! With this any alchemist who is at a rank of 5* or superior can concoct a Mid-Grade Health potion or even a High-Grade if he's lucky ! The starting bid is at 2 gold and the minimum increase is at 50 silver !"
All of the alchemist's eye shined after seeing this, a perfect elite nail is too rare. They can boost their reputation after selling of these potion !
"3 gold !"
"5 gold !"
...
"27 gold 50 silver"
After this, everyone stopped to bid, sure it's rare but with a bit of effort you can find it. Naturally, the power in the VIP room didn't bid one time, with their rank they didn't need it or they can hunt it easily.
Bae directly got up and walked in direction of where the trade take place. He presented the card he was granted the moment he sold his object. The guys who did the exchange kindly pay 27 gold and 50 silver, Bae didn't wait another moment and exited the auction. It will be the final in one or two item and he didn't want to be here. This will be the real battle of wealth between the VIP.
With this money he directly walked in the shop of monster drop, he bought ten T1 Mini boss core, the total was 15 gold that he directly gives to the seller.
Instantly after this he returned to his room in the tavern, last time when he got the Elite core from his fight, he saw that he could receive the energy contained in. This time he secluded himself and started to absorbe the energy of the 10 core. At the end he only absorbed the energy of 7 core, he called Shin for his status and he smiled.

"Shin, why it is written 100% ? I can't promote now ?"
Host can promote anytime. The promotion will only be a bit painful. |
Bae twitched hearing this, he didn't know why. He decided to sleep first and to promote tomorrow morning.
At morning he decided to take all his object in the room before promoting, he didn't know if he will move or break things. After finishing he asked Shin to promote, he confirmed.
At first it was not painful, only tickling a bit, he mocked Shin for saying that it was painful. After five minute it was aching but not too much only the same that when you are pinched.
Ten minute after, he blacked out cursing the system but with no success, the system will not accept his host to lose consciousness ! Bae didn't know how to feel, he can't shout or even open his mouth, his body hurts everywhere like a needles piercing and sew up every piece of skin. His bone breaking and reforging and his muscle tissues torn off and reattached in a loop.
He woke up after a long time, he didn't know how much time he passed in this loop but his clothes were torn and filled with sweat. His body was sore, he cursed another time Shin for saying that it was only a bit painful ! After this he opened his profile and got shocked.

"Shin why my stats are at 0 ?"
After every promotion, Host's stats will be incorrect, It's like that , at (G-) when you are at 47 and you upgrade to 48 you will gain a bit of strength, but when you are at (G), from 0 to 1 will be equals to (G-) 0 to 40 upgrade in strength. Hence the reason for the resets |
"Well you got a points here Shin."
No problem Host, It's my pleasure. |
"Now that I upgraded, I can now pass the steel rank 3* at the guilds, let's do that today."
