Hmm . . . Xin thought about what she said carefully and decided to go with the auction.
"Great! How many days should we keep the auction running? Keep in mind that the longer the auction run, the higher the potential price for your items, as more people will have a chance to bid. However, we have a maximum limit of one week."
Xin needed the money, so he said, "Tomorrow at . . . ten in the morning?" He wasn't sure if that was a good time or not.
"Alright, tomorrow at ten in the morning it is. Just a reminder, you can adjust the time using our app. Simply download the app, log in with your gamer's account, and you'll be able to see your stats and auctioned items along with other helpful features. Oh, and I almost forgot, here's something for you."
[ACQUIRED!
EXPLORER's PACK
Rare
This starter adventure pack contained a backpack, a bedroll, a mess kit, a tinderbox, 10 torches, 10 days of rations, 10 Potion, 10 MP Potions, 5 Antidotes, and a waterskin. The pack also has 20 meter of hempen rope strapped to the side of it. ]
This was pretty handy to have, especially for a starting adventurer like him. Xin thought to himself and said his thanks.
He was also relieved to know that he could adjust the duration of the auction according to his preference. This made him feel more at ease.
Curiosity struck Xin, wondering if his [Relationship Level] with Emma would decrease if he auctioned the [Explorer's Pack]. To satisfy his curiosity, he tested it out. However, he noticed that Emma simply smiled brightly without making any comments or objections.
Baffled by this, he put up his screen and read in his [Library]. Once his [Relationship Level] with an NPC reached [Intimate], there was no decreasing it.
Ha . . .
Emma blushed and nervously suggested, "Um . . . I have a break in about thirty minutes. If you want, we could grab breakfast at the nearest . . ."
But before she could finish her sentence, Xin abruptly walked away, seemingly ignoring her. He noticed a prompt on his screen about marrying her, but he decided to log out.
Back in the real world, Xin looked at the clock and realized it was only around three in the morning. It seemed strange because, in the game, it had felt like it was already nine in the morning.
Intrigued, he decided to search for information online and discovered that Guildbane had its own unique timeline that differed from the real world. Although time passed at the same rate as in reality, the game's internal clock operated independently.
As Xin turned off his phone and settled into the thin mattress on the floor, he attempted to drift off to sleep.
However, his mind was still buzzing with thoughts from the game, making it challenging to doze off. It took him a whole extra hour of tossing and turning before sleep finally embraced him.
But little did Xin know that his dream would take a peculiar turn. In his slumber, he found himself surrounded by a swarm of eager NPCs, all clamoring for his hand in marriage. They bombarded him with proposals, each one more enthusiastic than the last.
He had a nightmare that day.

The DEVELOPER's Distress
======================
"Hmm . . . he just auctioned all his rare loots without a care."
"I really thought that he would use it to buy his way into one of the top guilds. Just the Runewalker Boots would land him a contract in the top twenty guilds."
"Maybe he is a solo player in need of money?"
"He's like a cat with diamonds, but he's too clueless to know what to do with them."
"*sigh . . . I feel sorry for the items."
. . .
. . .
"That's good news. If he won't equip his items and just sell them, then the better!"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Right."
". . ."
"Neh . . . I've been wanting to ask this from the start, but . . . what would happen if he knows that once his [Relationship Level] with an NPC reach [Intimate], he would get rare items?"
. . .
. . .
"Aren't we in trouble?"
