All of the avatars stood up in shock. All the avatars including the one who had raised the number so high.
"That's- a big number!! But why?"
"25000 EC's is no joke, especially in an auction on the dark web. The amount is unreal!"
"Yeah I agree. There must be some financially strong beasts among the bidders. Either someone is rich enough to spend such a sum, or they are planning on getting bankrupt. Once thing's for sure, my plan worked this time."
The host then presented the second item, which was the rare genome which Blanka had said belonged to octopus.
"It must really be extinct, because if it was unavailable only on the 27th floor, then it wouldn't have been sold at an auction."
"Are you going to do something funny this time as well, Hasumi?"
"Looks like you're starting to enjoy the whole thing, Blanka."
"Well, I can't deny it. What you're up to, it's beginning to make sense."
"Hmm hmm"
