With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods-Chapter 73 Auction (1)

Two days later, Lin Fan and the girls headed off to the auction.

This was the biggest auction being held in Inferno City in a while, so naturally there was quite the crowd that came.

However the Mercenary Guild had already secured tickets for them, so they didn't have to make their way through the crowd.

While they didn't have VIP tickets that allowed them to sit in the large private rooms on the second floor, they did have tickets that gave them small private booths on the first floor.

This was what being middle class was like. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

Of course this was something that Tian Tian prepared, which was a sort of apology for the Mercenary Guild's inability to help Lala.

When they came to their seats, they also passed by the stairs to the second floor. Or rather, their room was very close to the stairs to the second floor, so they were able to see the people who headed to the second floor.

Lin Fan didn't recognize these people, but Lala had her experience of working for the Mercenary Guild as a receptionist, so she had more information than normal people did.

She was surprised by the people who went past them, but none of them surprised her as much as one person.

Lin Fan didn't ask who these people were since he didn't want to know, but he couldn't help asking about this one person that shocked her the most, "Who is that?"

Lala revealed a complicated look before slowly saying, "That is…Ye Tian Xie from the Ye Family. They…are the family that are rumoured to be close to the Heavenly Demon Sect, the largest Demonic Sect."

Lin Fan revealed a confused look when he heard this, "Heavenly Demon Sect? Demonic Sect? This world has Demonic Sects?"

Lala was also confused when she heard this. She looked at Lin Fan with a confused look and asked, "Why wouldn't there be Demonic Sects? Just like how there are good and bad people, naturally there would be good and bad sects."

Lin Fan just revealed a bitter smile when he heard this.

Good and bad…

Good and bad were up to people to decide, so there was no definitive good or bad in this world.

Even in his previous world, there were plenty of people who were good, but they were considered bad because they went against conventions.

Of course, that didn't mean that there weren't bad sects. In the novels of his previous world, there were Demonic Sects that did things like refining corpses or taking the souls of infants.

Things like that were considered evil no matter what kind of person it was.

But as for this Heavenly Demon Sect…it was hard for him to tell right now.

Of course, he quickly threw these thoughts out of his mind. This was something that he shouldn't get himself involved in because there were no benefits to getting involved in any of this.

So Lin Fan turned to the others walking to the second floor and asked, "What about the rest of them."

Lala looked at them and then asked with a smile, "You didn't want to hear about it yesterday, so do you want to hear about it now?"

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile when he heard this.

He had tried to change the topic, which was why he had even asked about those people, but now it seemed that he had stepped on another minefield.

There was no doubt that since they were people who could go to the second floor, they were also people that were related to other sects.

Lin Fan was already having a hard enough time dealing with someone who was barely a member of a sect, he didn't want to get entangled with even more sects.

So he shook his head and said, "No, let's forget about this."

Lala gave a nod before settling down in their private booth, no longer paying attention to the people who were heading to the second floor.

However, even though this place was called a booth, there was more than enough space here for the four of them to sit in comfort. There was even food service that was provided, though it was only simple snacks and drinks.

But still, it was much more comfort than Lin Fan had expected.

It seems like he had underestimated how big the One Martial Chamber of Commerce was.

There was still another half an hour of waiting before the lights finally dimmed in the hall. After the lights dimmed, there were spotlights that appeared at the very front of the hall where the stage was.

Under these spotlights, there was a beautiful woman who slowly made her way onto the stage.

She didn't move too fast and she didn't move too slow, she moved at just the right speed so that everyone could get their fill of their swaying hips. It had to be said that the way that she moved really was mesmerizing.

Even Lin Fan couldn't help sitting on the edge of his seat to stare at her as she came onto the stage, but that didn't last long. There were three hands that pinched him from three different directions.

As he felt the pain from getting pinched, he raised his hands in surrender with a faint bitter smile on his face.

After the beautiful woman reached the center of the stage, she took a microphone from the staff member beside her which she brought to her mouth to say, "Hello everyone and welcome to our One Martial Chamber of Commerce's auction. I want to thank everyone for taking time out of their busy schedule to come to our auction today." Once she said this, she leaned forward to give everyone a kiss. At the same time, her hands crossed in front of her chest, pushing up her twin peaks, giving everyone a good look.

She was someone that clearly knew how to make use of her beauty, but that was also dangerous in a sense.

As soon as she did this, there were countless cheers from the crowd.

There were even people who were raising signs and fans with what seemed to be her name on it. It was clear that these people were fans of hers and had only come to this auction to see her.

The beautiful woman gave a wave to them before she continued speaking, "My name is Mei Mei and I will be your host for today's auction." She raised one hand and gave an excited look before saying in an excited voice, "Is everyone ready?!"

Cheers once again came from the crowd, but they were even more hyped up compared to last time.

Lin Fan couldn't help thinking that this was like an idol concert when he saw this…

But the auction following that was quite professional, the starting part had only been done to raise the hype of the audience to make them bid more.

After all, alcohol and beauty were the best ways to make people lose control of themselves.

After the introduction, Mei Mei didn't waste any time to bring out the first item.

"The first item that we have today is the beast core of a Fire Python King. It was freshly killed just a week ago and as soon as we received it, we knew that it had to be the opening item for our auction today." Mei Mei introduced the item in a professional manner before adding, "Of course, I feel that it's even better if this beast core was used to decorate my wedding dress!" After saying this, she gave another wink to the crowd that instantly made them explode again.

After the crowd calmed down, Mei Mei continued in a professional manner, "The starting bid for this item will be five hundred gold coins and each increment will have to be at least fifty gold coins! If you're interested in this item, please make your bid now!"

As soon as her voice fell, there were people that immediately made their bids.

"Five hundred!"

"Five fifty!"

"Six hundred!"

The price rose up like this until it reached around a thousand gold coins, at which point there weren't as many bids as before. However, that was just how it was since that was around the actual value of this beast core.

The Fire Python King was a Third Qi Gathering Realm spirit beast, so the value of this beast core was only around seven hundred gold coins in the first place. However, because of how rare it was and how hard the Fire Python King was to take down since it was normally surrounded by other Fire Pythons, this pushed the price to around a thousand gold coins.

Even at the auction, just a bit over a thousand gold coins was already considered the highest price that most people were willing to pay.

So it wasn't surprising to see the bids slow down once it reached a thousand gold coins.

There were only two people who still remained in the running for this bid and it didn't seem like either was willing to back down. It was just too bad that one of them ran out of money before the other one did.

"One thousand one hundred and fifty gold coins going twice!"

Mei Mei deliberately slowed down her calls when she saw the hesitant look on the other side's face, but she could also tell that this person wasn't going to make another bid.

So in the end, she was about to end this first auction by giving her third call.

But before she could say a word, there was a low voice that came from the second floor, "Two thousand gold coins."
