The Tale of the Void Emperor

In VIP room no.3, Sen was looking at the Food dish as she held back the saliva from coming her.

Even her master, Ayruin, was slightly affected as she couldn't help but get hungry.

" Say, Master, are you going to buy this? "

Ayurin looked at Sen and smiled before slightly tapping on her head, " Even if I buy it, you can't taste it because it's too powerful for you. I had eaten a food dish from a 6-star mystic chef a long time ago, and that had helped me greatly in my training. But due to my current strength, This food dish will have minimal effect on me. "

Sen nodded in understanding, but she still asked, " But don't you want to taste it? Just from its fragrance, I feel like its taste will be otherworldly. "

Ayurin looked at the dish and nodded as she agreed with Sen, " Indeed. Let's see. If the price is below 2000 mid-grade chaos stones, Then I will bid it for 2000 mid-grade chaos stones. If someone bid more, then I'll give up. "

Sen suddenly remembered something and chuckled, " If Elder sister Valeria was here, she would definitely buy it. "

Ayurin also chuckled hearing that and nodded, " Indeed. If Valeria was here, She would definitely buy it regardless of the bid. "

The VIPs were fiercely bidding, and the bid reached the price that made many people feel that they were dreaming.

" 800 Mid-grade chaos stones! "

" Fuck it! I'll increase it by 200. I bid 1000 Mid-grade chaos stones. "

There was a silence for a brief moment, but soon, the next bidder appeared.

" Fuck off! 1200 mid-grade chaos stones. "

" 1350 mid-grade chaos stones. "

The bids visibly slowed down, but it was still slowly going up.

After a minute, It reached 1500 mid-grade chaos stones.

" 1530! "

" 1570! "

" Screw it! I am going all in—1700 mid-grade chaos stones. "

*silence...*

This time none of them bid for a while. After all, there should be a limit, and these VIPs also wanted to buy more important things.

The auctioneer also spoke as he could not hold back, " Alright. Since I can't hold back anymore, I'll start. One thousand seven hundred mid-grade chaos stones for this food dish by a 6-star mystic chef, Going Once! Going Twice! S-"

" 1800 mid-grade chaos stones. "

A calm voice came from VIP room no.3.

The auctioneer felt like crying because there was such a heavenly dish in front of him, but he could not eat it, " Stop tormenting me, please! One thousand eight hundred mid-grade chaos stones, Going Once! Going Twi-"

" 1810 mid-grade chaos stones. "

A voice came from another VIP room.

The auctioneer felt like cursing, but he held back and spoke, " Anyone else? Room. 3? Hurry, please. "

Shish couldn't help but laugh, " Hahaha, This auctioneer is funny. Look at his expression. "

" 1900 mid-grade chaos stones. "

Suddenly, someone bid from another VIP room beside the room. no3.

But right after that, Ayruin from VIP room no.3 once again bid as she went all out, " 2000 mid-grade chaos stones. "

The auctioneer took a deep breath and adjusted his face before saying, " Two thousand mid-grade chaos stones, Going Once! Going Twice! Sold! "

Right after that, He carefully took the food dish in his hands and put it back into the wooden box with inscribed patterns.

After that, He put the box into a gap that appeared on the stage while muttering in a way that his voice echoed through the hall, " Tormenting me like this...I better tell them to put some poison in the dish before giving it to the winner of this bid. "

The audience laughed hearing that, and Ayurin and Sen, who were in VIP room no.3, were speechless.

Naturally, It was a joke.

Afterward, The auctioneer opened boxes that were 5-star pills and types of equipment like weapons and armors.

Soon, He opened a last-second box that was not that big.

Seeing the item he took out, Athan, Drizzly, and others straightened their backs.

" It's the Dawn-Break fruit, Athan. "

Hearing Celesti, Athan nodded and said with a faint smile, " Let's see how much it fetches. "

At this time, The auctioneer took out the fruit that was put in a glass container and said, " This is a rare Dawn-Break fruit! It can greatly aid in your physical body training. This fruit will greatly benefit you if you are aiming to increase your strength in a short time for some important event like...the announcement made by Chaos Monolith Hills!! I am sure whatever their final test is, This fruit will benefit significantly in increasing your strength, and your chance of passing their test will increase. The starting bid is 200 mid-grade chaos stones, Increment can not be less than ten stones. "

Hearing this, Drizzly, Roselin, and Athan looked at each other in shock.

" If the starting bid is 200 mid-grade chaos stone..." Roselin muttered but didn't continue as she shook her head while smiling wryly.

" It looks like Master Ayurin got us good. Even though we didn't know about this fruit when you showed and didn't know their real price, but..." Drizzly also shook her head wryly.

Athan suddenly felt a contact card activating and took it out before speaking.

" Sen? "

" Athan. I called to tell you that my master didn't fool you about its price. But the Auction increased its price by hyping it up due to the coming event announced by Chaos Monolith Hills. This Grand Auction is one and only in this entire Toragale region, so other winners and important people are here. They would want their relatives to pass the final test of Chaos Monolith Hills, and the auction took advantage of this fact. That's all. "

Athan understood hearing about this and nodded before replying, " Alright. Thanks for contacting us about this. "

" Hehe. You will greatly benefit if it sells at a high price. My master estimated that it would be either around 600 or 700 mid-grade chaos stones. Anyway, Don't forget to treat me to a good meal at the Star Dew Restaurant after this. "

After saying that, Sen cut off the contact.

" Who was that? "

Athan looked at Drizzly and told her about what Sen said to him through the contact card.

" I see. If that's the case, then it's understandable. "

Drizzly and Roselin nodded after hearing the explanation.

" Now it remains to see how much this fruit will sell for. "

They focused on the bids as they were increasing rather slowly.

" 380 mid-grade chaos stones. "

" 390 mid-grade chaos stones. "

" 410..."

" 440..."

" My last bid, 500 mid-grade chaos stones. "

*silence....*

The auctioneer swept his glance before speaking, " That's it?! Alright! It looks like the people are rather stingy. Anyway, I'll once again remind you that this can increase your chance to enter Chaos Monolith Hill!

It's Chaos Monolith Hills which is on the same level as other Ancient powers like the Great Bridgade Palace and Boundless Pavillion. This could be once in a lifetime chance for those who meet the requirement to take their test.

After all, Who knows when they will hold this kind of recruitment process again? "

" 510 mid-grade chaos stone. "

" Humph, Even without your speech, People understand the importance of joining an Ancient power. 550 mid-grade chaos stones. "

Athan, Drizzly, Roselin, Celesti, and others were internally hoping that the bid increases even more.
