Misty World: Start with SSS skill

"What do you mean?" Hikaru asked.

Anno looked at Hikaru a bit confused; however, she patiently explained: "You don't know?"

Hikaru shook his head.

"You…" Anno originally wanted to say something but then stopped. She stared at Hikaru for a while and then explained: "Talent cards do exist, but they are very few. Most people don't even want to sell them or use them to trade."

"Perhaps you don't know, but a talent card is like a family treasure. People who own them usually only give it to their family members; however, only those with really high potential can get access to the talent card."

"The Talent card is like a kind of portal that opens for those who cannot use mana to enter the world of magicians."

As Hikaru heard this, he immediately understood what she was trying to explain to him.

Imagine talent cards were weapons like guns, and on Earth, if everyone could own a gun, what would the world be like?

Needless to say, everyone could understand how dangerous it was.

Yes, in this world. How could anyone easily become a magician?

There would be no more production.

No one would want to be normal anymore, and the world would be in turmoil.

Anno added: "Besides, talent and skill cards were also very rare. An SR-level talent card could cause many countries to fight, which could lead to war."

Hikaru nodded. Suddenly, he realized that a huge opportunity was in front of him. Hikaru asked: "So that means no one trades talent and skill cards?"

Anno shook his head and said: "It's not like nobody sells them, but things like talent cards and skill cards are precious, and people won't sell them like monster cards. People use the auction to sell talent cards and skill cards."

When Hikaru heard that, he understood why he had to use the auction method. Because when using that method to trade talent cards and skill cards, their value would be greatly increased.

Anno continued with a smile: "There is an auction house nearby; there will be an auction in a few hours. If you…"

When Hikaru heard this, he was a little curious, so he said, "Of course, if you don't mind, we can go there together."

Anno happily shook her head: "No, it's not troublesome. I want to go there too."

Hikaru instantly found the current Anno very cute. If Anno had lived on Earth, she would surely be honored as the nation's girlfriend, the dream girlfriend of all men.

Suddenly Hikaru frowned. He thought of the manga he had read, where the auction room was the place where the main character slaps other people's faces.

The motif would be the main character and other people competing for an item.

People would think that because the main character dressed poorly, he wouldn't be able to afford anything in the auction, and he would be despised by the main character. After that, the main character immediately used ten times the price to buy the items, and this would surprise everyone around him, thereby face-slapping everyone who despised him.

Next, he would grab the auction room owner's attention. After that, the owner of the auction room would become one of the people who would help the main character develop by giving him more resources.

Hikaru sighed as he prepared himself to face the protagonist if he showed up at the auction room. However, he was 90% sure that the main character would appear.

…

In another room, Nasis was talking to Duraxi very intimately.

Nasis laughed and said, "Hahaha... I didn't know that you would also take the Pharmacist Enchanter exam. As expected, a dragon will not stay in the pond; even if it is pressed to the ground, it will fly to the sky."

Upon hearing Nasis's praise, Duraxi immediately felt that Nasis was his best friend. Despite meeting him for the first time, Duraxi decided to draw Nasis to his side.

Besides, Nasis was also an SR-level enchanter, which would definitely help him in many ways.

Duraxi smiled and replied: "Hahaha... I just know a little bit about being a pharmacist."

Although Duraxi's words seemed modest, his tone was extremely arrogant.

Nasis nodded, as he felt that it was normal for Duraxi to be arrogant. He said, "Duraxi, you just got here, and you probably don't know a lot of things. I know an auction house that will auction many good items soon; I will take you there. By the way, I can help you get to know other people."

Duraxi was delighted to hear that and immediately agreed.

…

Hikaru and Anno took a walk around the pharmacy tower and then went to the auction house. In fact, Hikaru and Anno were just walking around and sightseeing; they did not buy anything.

Hikaru also saw many items, but he felt that those things did not have great potential. Besides, the potions in this place didn't work for him either, so he didn't want to waste his soul points.

Hikaru wants to save the soul points for the upcoming auction. He thought that if Duraxi showed up and he noticed any item, he would also bid on that item.

The items that the protagonist paid attention to were certainly not trivial.

When Anno led Hikaru to the Pharmacist Tower, he was a bit confused. At this point, Anno explained: "The auction center is located on the third floor of the Pharmacist Tower."

Hikaru then nodded and followed Anno.

Upon arriving in front of the Pharmacist Tower, Hikaru was a little moved when he saw its grandeur.

If viewed from afar, Hikaru would only feel that it was very tall and large. But when he stood close to it, he felt so small. The gate to the Pharmacist Tower alone was more than fifty meters wide, and there were a total of four gates in four directions that could be used to enter the first floor of the Pharmacist Tower Center.

The first floor was very large, and Hikaru estimated it to be over 10,000 square meters. There were patrols or guides everywhere; besides, this place was also crowded with people. Even the number of people inside was not less than the number of people outside.

This place was like a giant shopping mall; however, unlike the commercial center, inside the Pharmacist Tower Center there were no stalls.

This place had no stairs or path to the second floor, but there were many shifting stone platforms. Each teleport stone platform had its own function, and besides, each teleport stone platform had a guard standing guard.

Suddenly, Hikaru saw Duraxi shouting at a guard: "Are you looking down on me?"

When Anno saw Duraxi, she was immediately startled; she didn't think that she would be unlucky enough to meet Duraxi here again.

However, when she saw Duraxi loudly shouting at the guard, she hated him even more. No matter how you look at it, the other guard was trying to explain to Duraxi about the rules of this place, but Duraxi still refused to listen, and he was just shouting that the guard was looking down on him.

Anno immediately approached them, and Hikaru naturally followed behind her.

"What's going on?" Anno approached and asked the guard.

When the guard saw Anno, he knelt down and said: "Princess."

"Stand up, tell me what's going on." Anno's voice was extremely cold.

Duraxi saw Anno appear and smiled, thinking in his heart: 'Hahaha. This girl still likes me. She appeared, seeing me being despised by a guard. She must be angry that I am being looked down upon. Woman, you have successfully gained my attention.'

The other guard lowered his head and did not dare look directly at Anno; he then glanced at Duraxi again. The guard sighed; he knew he was in big trouble this time.

"There's no need to worry." Anno said: "Tell the truth; don't worry."

The guard gritted his teeth and told everything. In fact, this sentry was guarding the stone platform that teleported to the auction house. However, to enter the auction house, you needed an invitation card or assets that were worth more than 100,000,000 soul points.

When Duraxi arrived, he not only did not comply with the guard's request but also shouted that the guard was looking down on him and was not allowing him to enter the auction house.

No matter how the guard tried to explain, Duraxi didn't care. Duraxi thought that the guard was intentionally looking down on him and was not allowing him to enter the auction house.

Anno frowned after hearing that, and her beautiful face contorted with anger. Duraxi, Hikaru, and the guard all saw that Anno was really angry.

The sentry guard lowered his head in fear, as he felt that he was about to receive Anno's anger.

Duraxi saw Anno angry and laughed and said, "Hahaha, see." My fiancée is angry, see? You fools who dared to look down on me, do you know that my fiancée is the princess of the Dark-Elf race? You guys…"

"You did a great job!"

"Right. You did a great job, huh?" Duraxi suddenly felt that he misheard. Yes, he felt that Anno had made a mistake.

However, Anno said to the guard, "You did nothing wrong; he was intentionally causing trouble. You have done your duty very well."

When the guard heard that, he immediately bowed his head and said, with great emotion: "Thank you, princess."

"There's no need to thank me. I just did the right thing." Anno said, then she glanced at Duraxi with an angry look: "You are the prince of a kingdom; why are you deliberately messing with a guard? Do you still have your honor?"

Duraxi was dumbfounded; he didn't think that Anno would say that to him. Duraxi immediately turned red with anger; he shouted: "Anno, you are defending a small sentinel? You should remember that I am still your fiancé; how dare you do this to me?"

Anno was angry, her voice extremely cold as she spoke: "Duraxi, I remember that your kingdom is a vassal of the Dark-Elf Kingdom. Theoretically, you should call me Princess; who gave you permission to call me by my first name?"

"You..." Duraxi was angry; he clenched his fists until they turned white.

Anno continued: "This sentry did his duty. If you don't present an invitation card or assets worth more than 100 million soul points, you will not be able to enter the auction room."

When Duraxi heard this, he took a deep breath, and he suddenly glanced at Hikaru, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Hikaru, standing next to him, was suddenly startled by Duraxi's murderous gaze. In his heart, he thought: 'Are you stupid? Anno scolded you—why are you looking at me? I just stood still and didn't do anything; I didn't say anything either.'

Duraxi took out an ID card and gave it to the guard; however, his voice was full of menace: "Huh! Look closely at how many soul points are inside the card. If there are more than 100 million soul points in the card, I want you to kneel and apologize to me."

As Anno heard Duraxi's words, she angrily shouted: "Duraxi, from now on, the entire auction house of the Pharmacist Tower will not welcome you. Get out!"

"Why? You dare to chase me away? The owner of the auction house hasn't appeared yet; who are you to order me to be kicked out?" Duraxi shouted, and his contorted face made him look like a ferocious beast.

Anno didn't seem to be afraid; she said softly, "There is no need for the owner of the auction house to appear because I am the only daughter of the owner of the auction house."
