The people were excited and talked about various people in VIP rooms, which gave common information about the VIPs to Yuki, which she didn't care about.
But when an old man with big muscles came into one VIP box, everyone got surprised to see him. They all looked at him with respect. Until then they only talked about how wealthy others were but when he came they talked about how amazing he was, "look, it's general Watabe," "why is a general here?"
Watabe said, "I just happened to be in the capital city today and came to see what's going on, no need to pay attention to me." He had an attitude of a true general; he was not arrogant but not humble either. He had a vibe that everyone could come under him for protection.
That got Yuki's attention and thought, 'People are making a scene for each person in each VIP box but they only respected him, he must be a noncorrupted guy,' then she looked at all VIP boxes, 'this is the only box that is closed.'
Then one young master said, "I wonder who the person in the 44th box is? Please show yourself so that we can greet you, sir."
'As I thought,' thought Yuki as it was her box. She didn't respond.
The people got angry for the ignorance and shouted at the box for the reason even they didn't know. The young master acted guilty and slyly said, "I am sorry, it's my fault. Please don't mind me, sir."
"It's fine, kids do mistakes," Yuki wrote him off.
The young master thought 'kid?' and got raged inside as he was 29 years old. Some people laughed, some got scared of what he might do and some got angry.
Another young master laughed at him and said, "hahaha, Mr. Watanabe, if they choose to hide their face, that means they don't want to show it, why you must force them?" he poked that young master to find out who the person in 44th box was because they felt it was disrespectful to hide their faces.
Definition of disrespect became a universal secret to Yuki after reincarnation; the people in this world were feeling disrespectful when someone didn't even poop on their head.
Watanabe got frustrated and cursed, 'This bastard.'
Auctioneer felt if he was late then there might be a fight, so he came and announced, "Welcome everyone to the one and only auction house in Nilu kingdom, the broaden auction house. " the auctioneer greeted with a loud voice to stop the bickering of big families.
"This is a special auction sponsored by our chairman. The items are the things he collected from his travels to different empires. He wanted to give this as a surprise to the local customers so we have to announce it at the last moment.
As this is a special auction, the items won't have a starting price, you customers evaluate the item and you yourself start a price. So without further ado let's bring the first item."
Everyone became curious as to what items they brought that didn't even need to put a price. If an item didn't have a price meant it would get bid as it was rare.
As they eagerly wait, a beautiful girl with a beautiful dress brought the item on a tray. Everyone shouted in excitement as the girl was extraordinary. The auctioneer explained, "This is a 3rd mid-rank whip. You know only 5th rank weapons have a special function right but this whip has a special function.
For just 1 touch on the opponent, it will drain half percent of their cosmos energy and convert 10% of that to your energy." Everyone got amazed. Auctioneer said, "not only that, it's easy to repair by a teacher level blacksmith. This is an absolute treasure for long-term battles, so now start the bidding."
The already excited crowd shouted which didn't have a chance for the auctioneer to speak or tell what the highest bid was. Then it slowly became normal.
The bid started from 10 gold coins. It went to 380 gold coins. It was young master Kinoshita who bid the highest; he proposed, "This is my gift for miss. Nomura, I hope you accept it," by raising his hand to the 22-year-old girl in the 23rd VIP box.
It made her blush, in embarrassment she said, "thank you young master Kinoshita."
Everyone shouted with excitement and talked, "wow! He just gave away 380 gold coins," "only rich people like him can do that," "miss. Nomura is absolutely lucky to have his love," "I want my boyfriend to love me like that too."
Yuki felt jealous and thought, 'Damn it! If I were a man then I would have gotten a pretty girl too, I have to find a way to change my gender. Then I will give her a gift from the 4th category.'
'But you said you need a girl like your mother,' system reminded.
'What use? My body is of a girl now,' said Yuki in dissatisfaction.
"The next item is a new item you would have never seen before," announced the auctioneer.
His every word was making the people's nerves tingle with curiosity when another girl brought the item. It was a red color transparent glass-like ball of fist size.
"This item is called elemental orb, it has a special power, if you use your cosmos energy on this you can get fire from this, the more energy you pour the more fire, you can practice forming attacks from this orb. This is a treasure which you can never see again, you can start the bid."
"100 gold coins," "150," "300," "500," "800," "820," that was the fastest bidding in the history of their auction and it stopped at 820.
"820 one time, 820 two times, 820 3 times, room number 26 got the item," announced the auctioneer, "next time..."
Like that 2 more items were sold and then the pill came. It was sold for 800 silver coins.
The next item was a jade token, "this is a jade token which can protect any kind of person from an attack of red jewel cultivator that means this is your second life. This was very rare to see even in the place where the chairman brought this. So, start the bidding."
"1000 gold coins," "1500," "1800," "2000," "2100," that was last bid and it was sold for 2100 gold coins.
After the remaining items, the last item was an orb. The auctioneer elevated, "this is the last item, it really saddens me to part away with this, if I had a choice I would have kept it for myself but the chairman for the sake of customer satisfaction, he is selling this away."
People in eager shouted, "Don't hang in like that," "just tell what it is."
"This is a 3rd high-rank spirit orb," he explained, "If you meditate while this orb is activated, your spirit power will increase until you enter the peak of the 3rd door. This is an absolutely priceless treasure for an alchemist, if your family have this, then you can attract alchemist to work with you. You can produce an alchemist in your family too.
This orb can absorb cosmos energy and work for 72 hours without deactivating. You can refill the energy again to activate it," everyone got wondered and excited. The families got fixed on wanting this, 'so now, start the bidding."
The first bid started directly with 500 gold coins. 'Every item went many times of its worth, it's a good thing this place is in scarcity of these items otherwise I wouldn't be remotely close to cunning ideas of salesmen of the modern world,' Yuki thought and went out of her room.
Outside the room at a corner, a person was looking at the door with number 44 to see who that person was, then the door opened and he was curious but then the manager from behind said, "excuse me. What are you doing here?"
The man got stunned by the sudden call, so he turned and said, "Manager, I am just waiting for an acquaintance."
"Then just stand like a normal person, if you act sneakily, people think you came to rob."
"Yes, yes sir," the man nervously said with a forced smile. The manager walked away, the man immediately saw at the room but Yuki had already gone away, he went to the room in hurry. There was only the servant and he asked, "Hey! Do you know who has been here?"
The servant got scared and said, "Sir, that man is wearing a cloak and mask, he is 6 foot tall and has big muscles like general Nishimura."
The man thought, 'What? It was general Nishimura? When did he come to the capital and why does he need to hide his face, he didn't even bid anything, maybe it is someone else with the same figure, I need to report it to the young master,' and went away.
The servant got happy and thought, 'that man gave 100 silver for this lie, I am rich now.'
Yuki was in the manager's room. The manager was very happy and said "sir, the items sold well, is this satisfactory?" by giving the pouch with gold coins.
