Chapter 354: Grand Auction-3, One Food Dish caused chaos.
In the vast hall of the auction, There were at least two thousand people.
There was a big stage in the middle of the hall, and seats were arranged around this stage in a pyramid structure.
Additionally, At the very top, There were VIP rooms.
Athan, Drizzly, Roselin, Celesti, Shish, and Erina sat in the top three-bottom three format in the hall's local seats.
Celesti, Shish, and Erina sat in one row, and Athan, Drizzly, and Roselin sat in the second row on top of them. They were sitting in the middle rows of seats in the hall.
It was also almost time for the auction to start after two minutes.
Soon, The stage in the middle of the hall moved with some mechanism as a round gap appeared in the middle of the stage. The gap was filled by a floor that moved from the underground to the stage with a middle-aged man standing on it. His appearance looked refined and gentlemanly as he wore a suit and boots and looked pure human without any additional body features.
He had a polite and refined smile on his face as he swept his glance around the stage and half bowed with one hand behind his back, and one stretched forward, "? Everyone! Welcome to the Grand Auction of the Toragale region. "
He then straightened his back and laughed before speaking, " I hope to empty your pockets before you all leave the auction. So, Let's get started without wasting any more time. "
*clap...*
The man clapped as a gap appeared in the stage in front of him before it was filled by another floor that moved from underground to the big stage.
This time, A large table appeared with many wooden boxes of different sizes on it.
" Let's start with some appetizers. "
The man opened the first small box and took out three pill bottles that contained one pill in each one.
" These three bottles contain a perfect quality 5-star pill. They are 5-star pills known as Furious-Break pills. They are used to make your pet chaos beast stronger and help it breakthrough to become a 5-star chaos beast. For your information, This pill only guarantees a breakthrough if your chaos beast is at the peak of the 4-star stage. "
" Alright. Each bottle will be sold separately, and their starting price is 300,000 low-grade chaos stones. Each increment can not be less than 10,000 low-grade chaos stones. "
Hearing the price, Athan was speechless. And this was just starting price. He didn't know what will be its final price.
" I bid 350,000 low-grade chaos stones. "
" 400,000. "
" 410,000. "
" 800,000! "
Hearing this, Everyone looked at the VIP room no.32 and shook their heads.
The auctioneer waited for a few seconds, but none of them bid anymore, "? That's it? I am disappointed. It looks like you didn't come here with filled pockets. This is about getting the honor of buying the first item in this Grand Auction! "
His gaze was particularly aimed towards the VIP rooms as he said those words.
But they had no effects since no one bid anymore. Smiling wryly, He started closing the bid, " Going once! Going thrice! And...Sold! Congratulations on getting the honor of buying the first item in this grand auction, Room no.34. "
Afterward, Another gap appeared on the stage behind him, and he just dropped the bottle in that gap.
" Alright! Now onto the next bottle of Furious-break pill. "
...
Athan was surprised by the final bid and asked Drizzly, who was sitting beside him, " Is that pill really that expensive? "
Drizzly chuckled and nodded, " It is expensive because it's scarce. Generally, 4-star pills are not that expensive, but if those pills are hard to come by, then their price increases. "
" Oh...So that's the case. " Athan nodded as he understood the logic behind scarce things becoming expensive.
The next two bottles of Furious-break pills were sold for 760,000 and 740,000, respectively.
Afterward, The auctioneer opened the next box, and instantly, hot steam released as soon as he opened the box, and a mouth-watering fragrance swept through the hall as if someone blasted a bomb of fragrance.
*gulp...gulp*
*Growl!...Growl!...Growl!? *
*gulp...gulp*
*Growl!...Growl!...Growl!? *
People literally gulped, and their mouths got watered. Their stomach literally growled as the various stomach rumbling sound echoed through the hall. Athan was no exception, ' What kind of food is that? '
The auctioneer carefully took out a white glass dish with exquisitely prepared food on it. The dish was not that small and was slightly big. The meat was exquisitely prepared with some green veggies and toppings. There were also other small things like beans and soup cups on the dish at the side.
The food dish was covered by a mystical bubble with five small holes, and this mouth-watering fragrance was coming out from those holes.
The auctioneer put the dish on the table before he covered his mouth with a fist and fake coughed," Ahem...I'll keep it short and simple. This dish was prepared by a 6-star mystic chef that arrived here today. Let's start the bid and finish the deal before I can't hold back myself from eating it. "
" 100 Mid-grade chaos stones! "
" Go away, Beggar! 300 mid-grade chaos stones! "
...
Athan was dumbfounded seeing the crazy bids. His throat was dry, and his mouth was filled with saliva simply after he smelled the fragrance.? Turning his head, He looked at Drizzly with a " what the fuck " expression.
Drizzly smiled wryly before she also held back her saliva and said, " This is to be expected. After all, The highest mystic chef in this entire Toragale region is 5-star and suddenly hearing about a food dish prepared by a 6-star mystic chef is mind-blowing. Know that there is a significant difference between a 5-star chef and a 6-star chef. "
Athan nodded because he had already seen the effect Just from the fragrance of this dish that affected the entire large hall. He could feel his guts crying for the food. The thing was that, When he tried to cover himself with chaos force and even order force to block the fragrance, It didn't work. The mystical fragrance bypassed his barriers and still wafted into his nose.
' What kind of power is this? ' He wondered as he thought about the occupations, and his interest was sparked. He knew that there were so-called order occupations in the Chaosverse, and they required more than just hard work to acquire.
Roselin shook her as she looked at the VIP rooms, who were bidding fiercely for just one food dish, and spoke, " Even if we have money, We can't buy it because a 6-star food dish can even kill me and Drizzly due to the power it contains. So, It's only for those powerhouses in the VIP room. Regardless of the mystical effect of this food, those VIPs will fight for it. "
