The entire venue turned from unruly to complete silence in moments, thanks to Tina's antics. After judging that everyone was focused on her, Tina began to speak in a loud voice, addressing the crowd.
"Gentlemen, we possess quite a few Eclipse Orchids, but I'm not sure if there's enough for you all to share." She started, flashing her practiced business smile. "Thus, to give everyone a fair chance, we'll be conducting the trade in the style of an auction!"
Aster quickly understood Tina's plan.
She kept quiet about how many orchids they had, creating a sense of mystery. The more orchids they sold, the more others would think that the next one could be the last, pushing the bidders to go all out.
They walked away from the portal and moved to the opposite side of where the medical tent was placed, setting up their auction spot without wasting any more time.
