Chapter 32 - Auction house

While Yuki was going on the horse the system sarcastically said, 'Host, your mother said not to make other people hate you, it will build up karma.'

'Shut up, if you didn't put angry points program, I wouldn't have done it. By the way, why is it only angry points, couldn't it be like how much I helped people or the amount of exercise I have done something like that?'

'It will cost 1 million angry points.'

'So there is a reason, well even if I had that much, I wouldn't waste it.'

After causing many troubles as she did before in the villages, she finally reached the capital city and proudly thought, 'I can't believe I got 100,000 angry points already, it seems I am looking down on my ability to irritate people. It's better to not wear a mask and cloak inside, people might recognize my mischief self.'

She took them off before entering the capital as news about her must-have spread. While she was going to the gate, cultivators got surprised by looking at her.

"Look, she is so young but she is already 2nd petal of the root chakra," "she must be a young miss of a powerful family," "but her clothes look worn," "it must be because she went hunting outside, just look at the horse, it's well-fed, she must be a young miss of big family."

Yuki thought, 'It seems I am getting unwanted attention.' She went inside. The capital was more magnificent than the Iron wall town which made her amazed, 'iron wall town is nothing compared to just the entrance area. The capital city is a capital city no matter which world it is.'

The houses were traditional Chinese structures with huge spaces for yards, unlike houses in her town where everything looked knitted at the last moment. The roads were spacious and people can ride their horses and chariots. Of course, only the rich would have them.

While she was admiring the capital city a man who was a fawner came to Yuki and asked, "Miss, is this your first time here?" by rubbing the backside of his palms.

Yuki saw his face and became wary while replying, "Yes, what do you want?"

He got happy and said, "I am just a humble guide; just by looking at your benevolence self I know you are beautiful..."

She got annoyed and interrupted by saying, 'stop, what do you want?'

"Allow this lowly self to guide the young miss, I just need silver and I will guide you around the capital city until you are satisfied."

"Silver, do you think I am stupid? Go and find someone else. I know you will take me to a valley and kidnap me to sell me. I saw through your trick from miles away, find someone else."

The man got dumb folded and thought, 'What is she saying; who would dare do such an outrageous thing in the capital. This girl must be some villager who doesn't know about the capital.'

Yuki asked people for directions to the auction house and reached it. It was a big construction like construction in ancient times she saw in textbooks. The pillars were 3 feet wide and 15 meters long. The entrance was very grand that even she got mesmerized.

She went to a valley, put on the mask and cloak and went inside the building. She went to the receptionist and with a condescending attitude, she asked, "can I sell an item in the auction."

Everyone was giving her weird looks for her height.

The receptionist politely said, "Sorry sir, the auction just finished 2 days back, it will take another month to collect new items for auction. So you have to wait for a month," she thought she was a boy as her voice was changed and thought, 'He is so short.'

Yuki said, "It's fine; just tell me if this item is able to get into the auction." Yuki gave a hand mirror.

The receptionist felt awkward and asked, "Sir, what is the use of this?" and thought, 'better not to call it a mirror, I can feel energy fluctuations.'

"This is a 3rd mid-rank item called the cumulate mirror. It can take energy from 5 river sacral chakra cultivators and give a white jewel solar plexus chakra power attack. If 3 river sacral chakra cultivators combine, it will give a transparent jewel sun plexus chakra attack. It can be used 2 times for later and 3 times for the former. Then it needs a 1-hour cool-down time. You can also comb your hair, do your makeup and reflect sunlight into enemy eyes to distr...."

The receptionist interrupted, "yes, yes. Customer, please wait, I will call the manager," and went away by thinking, 'what a funny guy,' her mood became pleasant. After a few minutes, the woman came in hurry and invited, "Sir, please come in, the manager is asking for you." Yuki went with her.

The manager was eagerly waiting, as soon as she came, he enthusiastically and politely greeted, "welcome sir, please take a seat." Yuki got happy because if he was that polite, then the item was valuable for them, she sat down.

The manager said, "even though the item is valuable but the auction is finished 2 days before and another auction will be conducted in a month, so can sir wait until then?" The manager was usually not this polite but as the item was very rare in their kingdom he was polite.

"I have enemies and it's not good for this small village to hold me that long, I need money urgently," Yuki elevated her status by lowering the capital value.

The manager got caught off guard and thought, 'little...village?' and said "but..."

Yuki raised her hand by showing her palm in a sign of stop and said, "enough, how many items do you need to set an auction as soon as possible."

The manager got astonished by her straightforwardness and felt she had many items, "we need at least 10 items."

"10? I only have a few children's toys and these villagers can't afford to buy real items, let me see if there are enough."

The manager got overwhelmed by her condescending attitude and thought, 'toys? What is he talking about? Is he talking about this device?'

Yuki took out 15 items that she brought from 1st category and put them on the desk, "Are these toys enough for your people?"

The manager got shocked and thought, 'Toys? He is calling these amazing things toys? Just who is he? Where did he come from?' and answered, "yes, yes. They are enough sir."

"Don't worry," Yuki assured, "these are just toys so my enemies won't recognize them as mine, so when can you start the auction?" That shot down the final doubt in the manage, since then he completely believes her bluff.

"Tomorrow...tomorrow morning at 10," the manager replied eagerly so that he didn't even want to waste one second of her time, "sir doesn't need to worry about how we will answer the customers when they ask where we got them, we will keep your identity a secret and tell them that our people brought them from Zina Empire." Zina Empire was the most prosperous empire in their continent.

"That would be better," Yuki agreed, "give me a room, I will stay here until the auction is finished and directly leave this place," and thought, 'the reaction is overboard.'

"Yes sir. Mio, go and show the sir the best room in our lodge," the manager ordered the receptionist.

Mio in overwhelming replied, "Yes sir. Honored guest, please come this way." They both made sure not to be rude even while breathing.

Yuki followed her. The manager opened a box and thought, "There is even a 95% quality 1st-grade healing pill. He must be an expert from far away. Not even the alchemist in empire capital can make such quality pill." As she did more than 500 pills, she became very proficient in making healing pills.

Yuki was taken to a good room and Mio said, "If you have anything please feel free to ask the servants outside sir."

"Fine," Yuki replied and thought, 'haha, acting as a mysterious person is so exciting, the manager was too excited to see the items.'

'See, if you want to enjoy life in this way, then it's totally fine,' suggested the system.

'I will think about that,' Yuki replied.

That day the auction house made a sensation about the items around every corner of the capital.

The next day many people flooded the auction house, they knew there would be a money war between the capital big families, so they didn't want to miss it.

Yuki saw that and got impressed, 'wow! The advertisement of the modern world is no comparison to this auction house.' In her previous life, the only advertisements ways she knew were billboards, posters and TV, so she thought this was greater.

She went into the auction hall room. The auction room was big like an auditorium with many seats for commoners on the floor. To the sides were VIP rooms constructed on each floor. She sat in a VIP room that was not too high or not too low.

People couldn't see inside the VIP rooms and the servants would raise the bid in their stud. But the big shots would show themselves to scare the small-time bidders.
