Talent Swallowing System

‘What? Does he have more money?’

‘Where did he get so much money?’

‘Who is he exactly?’

Leo looked to be in his early twenties. So, everyone was surprised where he got so much.

However, no one said anything to Leo openly as they were yet to receive the details regarding Leo and Julia.

Even Zen raised his brows as he started doubting whether Leo was a lone mercenary or not?

“If no one is bidding for the egg, you can give the final call.”

Amidst the surprised looks of everyone, Leo calmly asked the auctioneer to finish the deal.

“Since no one is bidding, the Moonlight unicorn’s egg will go to this young hero for 910000 Hero coins.”

The auctioneer received the nod from Oliver as she finalized the deal.

“To those doubting me whether I have enough Hero coins or not, you can see for yourself.”

Leo didn’t look at anyone in particular as he took out the required Hero coins from his storage ring and gave them to Amy.

‘Nod’

Using her ability, Amy made a quick count and nodded her head at Oliver.

“Bring the egg to the young hero.”

Since the other party had paid for the item, Oliver didn’t bother much as he asked someone to deliver the egg.

‘Looks like the young man thinks he obtained a treasure. However, he will soon realize his mistake.’_-.

Except for Linus, most of the participants thought that Leo was impulsive and would regret his decision later.

Paying one million Hero coins for a rank 9 mutated beast was not costly; however, if it was a mutated beast like Moonlight Unicorn, then it is expensive.

Because raising a Moonlight unicorn was like burning money and resources.

‘Richard, it looks like we are in luck today.’

On the other hand, Linus heaved a sigh of relief because he didn’t have to pay for the egg.

‘…’

However, Richard looked at Linus without saying anything.

…

‘Ding,

Item name:- Mutated beast egg. (Moonlight Unicorn)

Category:- All-rounder (Attacker, Healer, Flying Mount)

Potential:- Supreme rank.

After receiving the egg, Leo checked the basic information on the egg with the help of the system.

‘Good.’

He was satisfied with the potential of the mutated beast and decided to raise it.

‘For others, it might be burning money to raise a Moonlight Unicorn, but for me, it is raising a powerful companion.’

Leo was not worried about the cost as he could easily find the resources to raise the Moonlight Unicorn with his strength.

‘The important thing is forming a connection with the moonlight unicorn.’

It is easy to connect with a mutated spirit beast right after it comes out of the egg. So, Leo felt he got a good companion at a low price.

…

“The next item of the auction is an Elite grade ‘Talent upgrading stone’, and the initial price will be 100000 Hero coins.”

Soon, the auctioneer took out the fourth item of the auction, which was a blue-coloured crystal.

‘Brother Leo, it can be useful for Ryan. If you don’t mind, can you buy it?’

After some hesitation, Julia asked Leo in a low voice.

‘Huh?’

Leo was surprised a little by Julia’s words because she always fights with Ryan and doesn’t even show concern.

‘Looks like the feelings between are mutual.’

Leo was happy that both Ryan and Julia liked each other.

‘Let’s give it a try.’

Since the ‘Talent upgrading stone’ was helpful for his brother Ryan, Leo didn’t mind bidding for it.

An elite grade talent upgrading stone could increase the talent’s level of rank 4 or rank 5 heroes by a single level.

Even though it was not helpful for the advanced heroes, the family heads were interested in it for the younger generation heroes in their families.

“Cloudriver family bids 700000 Hero coins. Does anyone want to raise the price?”

The auctioneer didn’t get much response from the item as the price didn’t increase much.

“710000 Hero coins.”

Like always, Leo waited until the last moment before raising the bid.

“Young Hero Leo raised the price to 710000 Hero coins.”

The auctioneer revealed a bright smile as she shouted aloud with great excitement.

“800000 Hero coins.”

Family head Gregor looked at Leo as he raised the price.

“Cloudriver family is willing to pay 800000 Hero coins.”

“810000”

Leo calmly increased the minimum amount in his bid, making Gregor frown.

“900000”

“910000”

However, Leo didn’t intend to stop as he had enough money to bid.

Moreover, the ‘Talent upgrading stone’ was beneficial for Ryan, who would be entering the God Ruins soon.

“Young Hero, can you give me a face and let me have the item?”

Before raising the bid, Gregor said those words to Leo, “One million Hero coins.”

“Cloudriver family’s bid is one million Hero coins.”

“Once…twice…”

Since the family head spoke for himself, the auctioneer guessed that Leo would not raise the bid anymore.

So, she decided to end the deal.

“One million ten thousand Hero coins.”

However, to everyone’s surprise, Leo raised the price with a calm look.

“You?”

Gregor was furious when he saw Leo dared to bid against him even when he asked to show some respect.

“The items in the auction go to the one who has money. If you don’t have money, go home.”

Leo could not care much as he directly replied to Gregor.

“Don’t you know…”

“Family head Gregor, there is nothing wrong with what the young hero Leo said.”

Before Gregor could say something, Family head Oliver stopped him with a scoff.

He was already frustrated when Gregor used his authority to stop Leo from bidding, and now he dared to start a fight in his auction house.

“Oliver.”

Gregor directed his anger at Oliver and wanted to teach him a lesson.

“Gregor and Oliver, do you want us to leave?”

Nevertheless, City leader Theodore stopped them with a single line as they returned to their seats.

“If you are not bidding, give up on the item. There is no need to fight with young heroes at your age.”

Mr. White looked at Leo and said to Gregor.

“Yes, Mr. White.”

Gregor became humble in a split second as he nodded his head.

“Young hero Leo’s price is 1010000 Hero coins.”

“Once”

“Twice”

“Thrice…Sold.”

Gregor didn’t bother to bid against Leo anymore as he silently swore, ‘Let’s see how you are going to survive after coming out of the auction house.’

Soon, Leo settled the money and received the ‘Talent upgrading stone’.

“The fifth item of the auction will make you bid against each other. It is….”

The beautiful auctioneer didn’t finish her words; instead, she pulled a cloth revealing the fifth item of the auction.
