Chapter 13 - Auction House Fun
While Richard was explaining the reasons for my actions I was busy inside my closed hut combining the card and doing an experiment. With Lina's luck present I got many drops from the monster. The no. of copper coins were at least ten thousand, skill scrolls of elemental resistance were was up to 50, common elemental cores were*50.
This was all the drops. Then I counted the gold coins has reached up to 1000. I decided to split the gold coin.
I went to the door and when they saw me coming Alan and Lisa looked at me with respect.
I looked at them and said," I know I am handsome, you don't have to stare at me like that".
They were speechless, they had thought of complimenting me, but now looking at a theme like this they decided not to say anymore to me.
I looked at the scene puzzled and thought of asking Richard. But though it's troublesome to ask him it's better to reward them and then experiment with my idea.
I took out a gold coin and said," today we had first profit so, we will divide equally".
I then gave 200 gold coins to Richard, 150 gold coins to Alan and Lina and finally said," remember to keep the gold coin now, maybe in base 2 you can buy something more expensive. I don't know it's true or not but in base 2 people like to buy pets, and they also level up as you fight. And we don't know when will beast will come and attack the people, so go and buy food, water, bows, arrows and try to use to spend at least fifty gold coins on it".

Then I said", Mr Richard you must have contracted the spirit beast".
He looked at me and said," I don't have a contract spirit beast".
A trace of loneliness flashed his eyes and I saw it.
I asked," Can spirit beast be revived".
He thought for a while and said," when you clear a forbidden land then you get a crystal drops known as reviving crystal, which can revive the beast, but their level will fall and your affection with the beast will drop to a very low level".
I asked," Is the revive crystal is divided into categories such as rare or epic grade".
"Yes it also drops, rare crystal but the chances are very low. The effect of using sacred grade crystal can revive the beast to the strongest level, it retains its memories so there is no loss of affection. It is also said that if you can revive a beast with sacred grade crystal then your beast will be promoted to the sacred level".
" You have heard the news right, the people do have contracted spirit beast but only when you reach base 3".
I looked at Alan and Lina and said," your luck is very good you can spend money on what you want to buy, but remember to go with Richard, many people will try to kidnap you and kill you in the forbidden zone so, be alert".
I then hurriedly walked outside, and went to buy necessary things such as equipment, then arrow quiver and look for skills. I also bought 64 space bags for 2 silver 30 copper coins. Then I went to the auction house. But I decided to cover myself with a cloak to keep my identity hidden.
The auction house was huge and I went inside near the receptionist desk and said," Hello beautiful, can you introduce me to someone I want to buy a large amount of equipment".
The receptionist looked and saw a cloaked man. Then she heard his request and said," How many gold coins can you spend".
I said," probably hundred gold coins". Saying that I took out piles of coins.
She didn't neglect and said," Sir I trust you don't take out the coins, I will introduce you to our seller".
Saying that she asked me to sit and she soon called the seller.
I asked the person that I want to buy a level 10 archer, 32 sets. How much do you want to charge?
The person looked at me and said," each set can be bought for 10 gold coins, so it will cost 320 gold coins and you can pay 300 gold coins to me".

Hearing my words he became nervous and soon he said," guest it cost 160 gold coins".
I thought fuck, if you want to cheat how can you cheat so much. I didn't think much when he quoted his price, I wanted to act cool who knew that by pretending I found out the truth. Then I thought I was wearing the cloak, he can't recognise me so I can blackmail him.
Then I pretended to be angry and said, "This is how you sell the equipment, I am going to tell your manager about you".
He hurriedly stopped me and said," guest please spare me this time, I won't do it again".
"Again you meant to cheat other people before me, I must tell everyone about the reputation of your auction house", I said.
He became more panicked and said," guest please wait, you don't need to pay for the equipment".
"I don't need this equipment I will say you cheat common people by selling at an expensive price, but I can also close my mouth if you pay me 20 diamond coins".
Hearing my request he said," impossible I had saved up to fifty diamond coins till now".
"Now the price had increased to 30 diamond coins, think about it you can earn again as long as you are cautious, but if I tell the head then you can't even keep fifty diamond coins. If I go and said that the salesman keeps 50 diamond coins with him, think how many thieves will be interested in you", I started blackmailing him.
He hurriedly handed me 30 diamond coins and said," Inside the space bag the equipment has been placed".
I looked and checked the equipment one by one and after I was satisfied and put it in the space bag and said," remember to not cheat people or else some will cheat back to you, so do honest work from now on, I took your money to avoid you greed to be grown to the point where you can't control yourself and increase the price so much that you will offend a great man that time, you can't save yourself, he will ask to execute you, so didn't I saved your life".
